Epilogue
“Rin, you need to get out, sweetheart” Kagome called. I came down the stairs to see her breastfeeding my god sister, Mayumi.
“I am fine staying home. Plus I have some scholarships to work on” I answered. She frowned at me.
“Rin, I know you're really busy because its senior year but you can't neglect your social life. When's the last time you went on a date with Inuyasha?” Kagome asked.
“Eons ago, but he has to understand. I need to graduate, apply to scholarships, wait for my college admission results, plus I have homework for my classes. Inuyasha has it easy; he gets to work under Sess all day” I huffed. I was still with Inuyasha because of my desire to have Sess on my 18th birthday.
“Just give me a call and a quick visit; I don't want you to turn into a burnt out student before you even start college. I'm going to stay home with Mayumi, so you don't have to babysit” Kagome insisted. I pulled out the phone from my pocket and dialed Inuyasha. I saw Kagome smile so I walked away from her and went into the study for privacy.
As the phone was ringing, I looked around the study. Sess's computer was locked and in sleep mode, his alcohol cabinet was locked as well. He must have left in a hurry because the desk had important papers spread all over it and the fax machine had papers left on it.
“Hello?” Inuyasha answered; I wished I had reached the answering machine instead of reaching him.
“It's Rin” I said, I could hear him exhale through the phone and I assumed he was happy.
“How have you been? We haven't talked in a couple of weeks” He said.
“I've been great; just working on a bunch of scholarships. You know they all want essays, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and that good stuff. Plus homework has been a killer. But I wanna see you soon; it's really been too long. I've missed you” I lied; Inuyasha and I have been dating two years but I've been so busy plus I am sick of pretending so I didn't want to see him.
“Well your birthday is coming up soon, and so is our anniversary. Why don't we go out and celebrate those?” He asked.
“Sure, sounds good. 2 Saturdays from now at the Fashion Valley Mall?” I asked.
“Yeah I'll be sure there. I love you Rini” He replied.
“Love you too Yasha” I said hanging up. I knew Kagome would want to know about the plans so I went back into the rose colored nursery. Kagome was lying in the rocking chair, a thin blanket covering her lower half as she sat watching Amy sleep in her wooden crib.
“What'd he say?” Kagome whispered.
“We're going on a date to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary 2 Saturdays from now” I responded. She nodded in approval and then went back to watching Mayumi. I slipped out of the room quietly and into my room. I glanced at the clock. 10:15 p.m. Sess was still not home, but Inuyasha was. Even now, after all the years of pinning after Sess and being with Inuyasha, I know I still want my god father. Sess has my heart and always will even though he hasn't spoken to me much since then.
I pushed myself hard a week and a half after that, I had no desire to fall behind in my school work so I made sure I crammed 2 weeks' worth of homework into those 10 days. Kagome didn't bother me about the amount of time I spent doing work because she understood and Sess was hardly home so he didn't know. The Thursday of the week I had my date, Kagome decided to surprise me with early birthday presents.
“Now Rin, I know your birthday isn't until Saturday but I wanted to give you your presents early because of your big date on Saturday. Now I got you at $50 gift card to the nail shop so you can get a mani/pedi and an eyebrow wax. I also got you a gift card to Forever 21 so you can pick up a new outfit, and I scheduled you a hair appointment so you can refresh your look. You're a young woman now and you need to look like it” Kagome said. She handed me all of the gifts and the keys to her BMW so I could leave.
“Thank you” I said meekly and then drove off in her nice car to the Mission Valley mall. The mall wasn't really packed being that it was a Thursday night. I was able to park in the parking structure closest to the mall and go straight to Forever 21. I found some nice dark blue low cut jeans and a button up plaid top to match without using up the entire gift card. I held on tightly to my bag as I wandered through the mall to the shoe store, I found a cute pair of sandals to match my outfit. With the sale, and a coupon I didn't spend all the money in my account so I ran to the Mac store to buy some new mascara and a lip gloss. I knew Kagome had some eye liner and foundation I could use.
After that, I went straight home to finish up a little bit of homework and put my purchases away. I went to bed before Sess came home, and I woke up just 15 minutes after Sess left for work. Kagome was letting me drive her car to and from school because of her 6 month leave of absence from work.
“Rin, don't forget that you have your nail appointment right after school at 4 pm, then you better hurry to your hair appointment because it starts at 5:30” Kagome reminded me as I was walking out the door. I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and Mayumi one of the forehead. I held onto my keys tightly as I walked out the front door to Kagome's car parked along the curb in front of the house.
I threw my bag into the passenger seat; shoved my Bluetooth into my left ear, and put my phone on vibrate. I was going to call Inuyasha and reconfirm our date Saturday. Kagome was making it sound like it was some big thing to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, but honestly it wasn't. I waited patiently while the phone rang but all I got was his voicemail.
“Hey Yasha, I'm on my way to school. I just wanted to make sure we're still on for Saturday. If you don't call back soon I'll be in class. Alright bye” I pushed the end button on my Bluetooth and continued driving to school. I saw a new message box pop up at my phone but I ignored it. I made it to school 15 minutes early; I shoved my phone into the case and clipped it onto my jeans. I didn't want to wander down the hallways with it. Once I made it safely to my locker, I slid it out carefully to read the message.
Hey babe, I got your message. I'm stuck in a lame ass meeting so I can't answer or call back. Can't wait for Saturday J
I frowned but didn't reply, I couldn't afford to be late for class again plus what am I suppose to say. The day seemed to drag on and on, I listened to the usual talk from Mayumi, Lily, Jiro, and Shippo but I wasn't feeling like responding or even paying attention. They didn't ask me any questions and I went through the entire day feeling blah. I don't know if it was the baby, just the stress of senior year, or the upcoming date with Inuyasha but I was just out of it.
When the bell rang after school, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to go to my nail appointment. It was a gift and all from Kagome but what was the point of dressing up for one stupid date? I pushed down my bad mood and forced myself to drive to the nail shop.
“Hi! Do you have an appointment” The greeter asked; I nodded and gave her my name. She said something in another language to one of the girls and she came over to get me.
“Right this way” She said politely, she lead me over to the back part of the room that was sectioned off with a thin wall.
“Please lie down for eyebrow wax” She instructed. I followed her orders, lying on my back. I kept my eyes open for the first part. She was getting wax strips and sticks and warming up the wax. Once it was ready she put a little wax on a stick and came over to me. I closed my eyes instantly, she rubbed the warm wax over my left eyebrow first, and then she pressed a piece of cloth on top and ripped it off. It was the first time my eyebrows had ever been waxed so I was not ready.
She repeated the same for my right eyebrow and then she said “All done”. I shot up and rubbed my eyebrows. She handed me a small mirror so I could look at myself. She had done a good job and I was thoroughly impressed.
“Time for nails” She instructed. She lead me to the nail polish display within the salon where there were racks and racks of different color polishes and I was allowed to choose 2; one for my hands and one for my toes. I grabbed a cotton candy pink and a ruby red, then I followed her to the spa pedicure chairs that lined the wall. The water was already in the bottom, so I rolled up my jean legs and stepped in. She turned the bubbles on and the massage for the chair.
“Want a magazine” She asked before she started. I shook my head. I already had my sidekick and that was good enough.
From Mayumi
Hey what's up?
To Mayumi
Nothing really, getting my nails done
I was hoping she'd keep me entertained but she never texted back and another woman came over to do my hands so I had to stop texting anyways. After about 45 minutes they had both finished and I thanked them for the good job. I walked over carefully to the cash register to pay before I sat under the nail dryer but the clerk informed me that Kagome had paid by credit card over the phone earlier. I thanked her and sat under the dryer. I stayed for a couple of drying cycles before I grabbed my purse and got into the car. Luckily the nail trip had not taken as long as I expected but I still had to go to the hair shop.
“Welcome to the Super Styles Hair Salon. Do you have an appointment?” A greeter asked.
“Yes, my name is Rin and I have a 5:30 appointment” I said clearly; she smiled at me and opened her wide appointment book to today's date and ran her fingers down the page until she reached 5:30.
“Yes, Miss Emma is almost done with her other client. Please wait in the lobby and she will come get you” She said, indicting to the small waiting area off to the side of the room. I walked over there slowly, grabbed a magazine from a tiny bookshelf and waited.
“You must be Rin! Your mother insisted on me squeezing you in today. She said you have a big date this weekend” A woman said. I looked up to see this lady in her early 40's. She was a skinny Caucasian woman with a ton of curly blondish red curls. I stood to talk to her but she hugged me instead.
“Nice to meet you” I said stiffly.
“Pleasures all mine. Come this way” she guided me into the main area where all the hair dressers' stations were. She was the last one on the end, but the shop was empty so it didn't bother me.
“So tell me a little bit about yourself, Rin” She said, draping a long back cape around my neck. She had a sink under the little counter so she relaxed the chair into a reclining position and began washing my hair.
“Well I'm a senior in high school, I've been with this guy for going on two years. Both my parents are dead, but my godparents have been raising me like I was one of their own since I was 8. I have a little god sister named Amy who I help Kagome take care of” I explained as she rinsed out the last of the shampoo and was moving on with the conditioner.
“Well this boyfriend of ours, is he cute?” She asked.
“Yeah he's one of the cutest guys at my school. He graduated last year but he still sees me every once in awhile. He and I are going out for our 2 year anniversary on Saturday so Kagome wants me to fix myself up before I go.” I answered.
“I see, I see. She already told me what you needed for this date. And it is gonna be a surprise so I can't allow you to look at yourself until I'm all through. I promise it won't take long” She said firmly, I couldn't object so I sat patiently and listened to music on my phone.
“All Done” She announced after about 2 hours. She spun me around in the chair to reveal my new look. She had cut about 2 inches off my hair so now it sat layered and a little above my shoulders, she had also given me some side swept bangs that covered some of my left eye if I didn't put a bobby pin in it. I felt older and new in a strange way.
“I appreciate this Miss Emma” I thanked her. She told me I could come back any time and I left. The ride home was in silence; I had listened to all the new music I had at the shop so I had nothing left to do. I pulled up in front and Sess's car was in the drive way. I let myself in the house with the key.
“Hey, I'm home” I yelled softly, I wasn't sure if Amy was awake or not.
“Hey, you look great” Kagome cooed. She came over to give me the once over and look at all the work I had done.
“Thanks” I said quietly. She was holding Amy so she wandered upstairs to put her down for bed before dinner.
Sess wandered out from the dining room to see me. He came over slowly, put his arms around me and whispered in my ears: “You look delectable. The way he said it made me weak in the knees and literally wanting him, something I hadn't wanted in a long time. I blushed slightly and he pulled away from me before Kagome came back downstairs.
“Rin, I wanted to let you know that I have to go to work tomorrow to handle something so I am going to excuse you from school so you can watch Amy. I promise to have her in daycare by Monday, ok?” She asked. I agreed and went to enjoy the food Kagome made. I slept soundly that night and was able to take care of Amy just fine but what Sess said reminded me exactly of what I loved about Sess. He is able to make feel things Inuyasha never could.
Why is it that still after all this time he can still affect me the way he has? It's that sexy body, cute looks, and his powerful voice that can make me weak like that. “Rin, are you alright?” Kagome asked. Her hands were filled with the McDonald's dinner bag, and her briefcase and I was just sitting staring blankly at the wall.
“Yeah, just thinking” I covered quickly. She gave me a kiss on the forehead and set everything down on the table.
“How was Amy?” She asked.
“Fine; she napped a lot and ate well” I answered nonchalantly. She had separated me from my thoughts way too early. I excused myself saying I wasn't feeling well so I could go to bed early and I lay in bed just thinking about my date the next day, and what I was going to do. I guess my thoughts carried me to sleep because I don't even remember what time I went to bed.
“Rin, honey, it's time to wake up” Kagome said, I glanced over sleepily at the clock to see it was 10:35 am.
“Huh?” I mumbled. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and sat up.
“You got your big date tonight. You only have a few hours to prepare. So I want to come downstairs and eat the breakfast I made first” Kagome said. I put on my slippers and wandered downstairs to the wonderful breakfast of bacon, eggs, and biscuits.
“So are you excited?” Kagome asked. I looked at her confused.
“Why would I be? It's only a date, and we're only celebrating our anniversary” I answered, spooning in more eggs.
“Well it's been 2 years now, and you've known each other since childhood. But the way you're acting make it sound like you don't care. Is there someone else? Or do you just not love him?” She questioned.
“There isn't anyone else, and I do love him. But I guess just being tired and feeling sick is stopping me from being as excited as I should be” I lied, I didn't want Kagome to think suspiciously.
“Well here's some orange juice and some vitamins. Be sure to take those and clear your plate when you're done” She said, she was going to tend to a crying Amy.
I raked my plate with the little bit that was left on it and I took the vitamins so I would feel better. I laid out my outfit for tonight and went to take a bath. Kagome had some lavender bubble bath and bath gel so I borrowed it from her bathroom and used it in mine. I wanted to relax and soak and just feel good. Time flew by because before I knew it, it was 1 pm and I was still in there.
“Hurry Rin” She called out. I washed up, let the water out, and dried off before walking back to my room. I put on my dark blue Baby Phat jeans and hot pink halter top with my ecko shoes then I started the makeup train. My foundation, blush, mascara, eye liner, bronzer, lip stick, lip gloss, and eye shadow all had to be put on and then tampered with until it looked perfect. I had some nice silver hoop earrings, a heart necklace he gave me on our last anniversary to wear.
“Hey Rin, you got about 30 minutes. Yasha called to say he's on his way” Kagome said through the door. I spun around to see it was three o'clock and he was coming soon. I really had nothing left to do except put my shoes on and comb my hair a little. So I did that before I left and sat in the living room until he arrived.
“Hey Kagome” He gave her a hug as she opened the door.
“Rin's in the living room, I hope you will have her home by 11 pm” She hinted.
“I will” He agreed, and he rounded the corner and walked straight over to me. He was in some dickie slacks and a button up shirt, he was looking good.
“Hey Rini” He said softly, I stood up to meet his height as best I could and then wrapped my arms around him in a hug.
“I've missed you” I faked. I was hoping the date would go quickly so I could leave.
“I've missed you too” He replied, his hand on the back of my head and his chin on my head.
“Not to ruin a special moment but you don't want to be late” Kagome cut in. I pushed myself off of Inuyasha and grabbed my purse off the couch. I walked beside him but didn't reach out to hold his hand.
“Alright Mrs. Taisho” He said respectfully. He opened the door for me to get in.
“So how has senior year been for you?” He asked.
“Stressful; between the scholarships, college applications, senior portfolio, and all the homework, I can hardly breathe. I haven't taken a weekend to myself since it happened. How's the business going?” I asked.
“Good, Sess has been training me and I can almost do my job by myself. I feel confident that I will be ready to get a real position soon. I make a good salary, I got my own little apartment nearby the job” He said.
“Wow that must be great. You get to live out there on your own” I said smiling.
“It's a little lonely, I usually don't stay at home unless I have to” He confessed.
“Oh” was all I could say. Luckily the car ride was over because he parked at the movie theater.
“What do you want to see?” He asked. I looked up at the choice of movies, and decided on New Moon. I knew Inuyasha would hate the sappy love story but he didn't object, paid for the tickets and even bought a combo pack for us to share.
After the two hour movie I was hungry.
“That was great, that was like my 4th time seeing the movie” I gushed.
“Yeah it was alright. You ready for dinner?” He asked gruffly. I nodded and we walked through the parking lot to the Cheese Cake Factory.
“Do you have a reservation?” The waitress asked.
“Yes; 2 under Taisho” He said, she looked down at a sheet of paper in front of her then said “Right this way”. She led us to the back parts of restaurant to a more secluded area. The table had a rose in a vase and some dim lights on it.
“I'll give you a few minutes to look over the menu” She said, placing one in front of me and one in front of Inuyasha.
“This is nice; thank you” I said to Inuyasha.
“It's no problem, I'm glad you're having such a good time” He replied. He went back to looking at his menu.
“Are you guys ready?” The waitress asked coming back a few minutes later
“Yes; I will have the spaghetti with meatballs” Inuyasha said. The waitress scribbled it down on her notepad.
“I will have the chicken Caesar salad with pink lemonade” I said; I noticed Inuyasha frown at me but she just took down what I said, took both menus and left.
“Are you going to go to college after you finish school?” Inuyasha asked suddenly.
“Yes, I want to. I was thinking about being a teacher” I answered, eating some of the crotons.
“Were you going to stay here or go away?” He questioned.
“I've applied to both but I really want to go away” I said firmly.
“I see, cuz I want us to stay together”
“We will, even if I was to go away to school I would still come back on vacations to see you and we'll talk all the time” I promised but he shook his head.
“Would you like dessert?” The waitress came back to ask us. Both plates were empty and we had just been sitting there talking awhile.
“2 slices of cheesecake please” He ordered. She scurried away to go fetch them. The restaurant was more crowded as people began to crowd into the place.
“I don't want you to go that far away. I love you Rin and I don't think I can deal with that much space between us” He said suddenly.
“Inuyasha, what is all this about?” I asked; he was acting so strange.
“It would tear me apart to not have you near me for four years. It was hard not seeing you as often as I wanted for this year but I understand because you are trying to graduate. I love you Rin” He stood up, kneeled down beside me and pulled out a black box.
“Will you marry me?” He asked, everyone in the restaurant was looking at the two of us. I panicked, how was I suppose to say yes when I want Sess. But if I say no then he'll be heartbroken.
“I'm not sure Inuyasha, I'm so young and I haven't really had a chance to experience life and then to be tied down like this when I'm not ready to start a family is too much” I said, I could see his eyes get glossy and he closed the ring box and stood back up. He sat down at the table but he refused to give me eye contact.
“Here's your dessert” The waitress said.
“Bring the check” He barked at her which sent her away scared.
“You still want that other guy, don't you? Won't even give me a chance even though I've been the one here for you for years” Inuyasha blurted.
“Slow your roll. I have no one else that I'm looking at. The other guy is no longer in my mind either. I just think that right now for me it's not gonna work out to be engaged. I would think you'd understand” I said miserably. He stopped talking to me, paid the bill and drove me home. He didn't say anything when I got out the car and I didn't say anything either. We were both miserable in our own separate ways.
Sess, Amy, and Kagome were home. I didn't want to talk to them but I couldn't avoid them either.
“How did dinner go?” Kagome asked, she was so perky and bubbly that I knew she was a part of it.
“Horribly, he proposed to me and I said not right now so he just brought me back” I responded. Kagome's face was very long.
“I don't understand what the problem is. I wasn't too much older than you guys when I met and married your god father. Yes we were 4 years older but that's not that big of a gap” Kagome said.
“I have to think about my future; I wanted to go away for college, gain some new experiences, and be free for a little while. Inuyasha is important to me but not enough to give up my life” I answered.
“He planned this out well in advance for you Rin so I can see his disappointment. I have to put Amy to bed so I'll come down later” Kagome said, walking up the stairs. I wasn't really sure what to say to Sess but I knew we would both be happier with the decision I made.
“Rin, did you do that for me?” He asked slowly. I couldn't verbalize a response so I nodded.
“Good, I want to make good on that promise I made you before. Tell Kagome you're going out with some friends, and meet me at the Double Tree Hotel in an hour” He whispered in my ear, I could hear the lust and desire. I walked upstairs into Amy's nursery and told her what Sess told me to say. She had no problem with it, now that I was 18 so I left. I sat alone in the hotel room for an hour before he finally came.
“Rin” He called out. I replied so he knew I was in there.
“I can't believe you finally agreed” I said calmly, but his face was pain stricken.
“Let's get started” He moved over to me but I slid away from him.
“What's wrong?” I questioned.
“Nothing” He said quickly but I knew it was a lie.
“Tell me the truth” I demanded.
“Kagome and I have the baby, the complete family, and a life others could only dream of but the romance is dead. Our relationship has declined into a routine lifestyle that neither one of us want to break because of our kid. I am miserable in this marriage, and this is the one thing that I can do that won't make me miserable” He answered truthfully.
“Do you see me as a daughter? Or do you see and love me as something else?” I asked.
“I haven't seen you as a daughter in years but I can't say it's love either” He said, and I sensed the sincerity.
“I don't know what to say” I said out loud. He glanced over at me, and he was unreadable. He came over to me slowly, and I wasn't sure what he was going to do. I began to crawl back on the bed, allowing my shoes to fall off onto the floor. Sess stepped out of his shoes, loosening his tie as he came over to me. I leaned back, and allowed his body to overpower mine. He held himself in up so his body didn't fully touch mine, and I leaned up so my face met his. I was propped up on my elbows and he kissed me. At first I reminded me of how we kissed before. I felt the passion, the desire, the intensity and I loved it. His hand attached themselves to my neck and hair, as he continued to kiss me. I spread my legs slightly through the jeans to make room for him.
His hands slid down to my hips, and he was roaming around to unzip my pants. I broke the kiss to unzip my pants. Then I thrusted my hips up to make room to pull both pant down. Sess was watching, seduced. We went back to kissing; the kisses were slow and comfortable. Then they got more intense, more passionate. Sess slipped his hands under my shirt, feeling the beautiful bounds of flesh that was hidden beneath them. He was groping me, rubbing his fingers over my nipples to make them hard. I could feel wetness pooling between my legs and I wanted so badly for him to touch me there. I forced him to sit up, stopping the kisses again to unbutton his shirt. I kissed every inch of skin until all the buttons were undone and I could see his rock hard abs. He is so unbelievably sexy. I pulled my own shirt over my head to let him see my body more. He unzipped his pants to relieve the pressure of his erection. Sess took his time, allowing his long tongue to swirl against my nub and send tingling sensations through my body. Then He took 1 digit, and pumped it into her. I tossed my head back and moaned. This felt so much better than when Inuyasha did it, I could feel myself wanting him in me more and more. And Sess was on a roll, entering another digit into her. I guess he was trying to prepare me for his manhood because I know it's bigger than Inuyasha.
He shoved a 3rd finger in, he didn't want to raise his head until he knew I had released. I could feel my stomach coil and I knew that feeling meant it was coming soon.
“Faster” I moaned out, moving my hips and spreading my legs wider. Sess began to lick again at my nub as he pumped his fingers in and out of me and before I knew it, I had released everything. He licked me completely clean and I just laid back exhausted.
“You ready for me, Rin?” He asked lust in his voice.
“I want you inside me, NOW” I replied, a smile on my face and my legs spread wide open. He rubbed up and down my sex, until he pushed himself in slowly. He was way wider than Inuyasha, and it wasn't painful but it felt weird.
“Move” I whispered, I wanted him to make me scream out his name. His hands were beside my head, pushing into me as he grunted. I reached down to rub my nub because he was gonna make me cum pretty quick.
“Faster, Harder” I moaned out. He was pumping into me so hard that the bed was shaking, squeaking and slamming against the wall.
