Chapter Seven


Monday

An odd feeling formed in her chest, it wasn’t from pain, but she felt it before. She pushed her eyebrows together worried. She didn’t like it, was something wrong? Suddenly she felt tears in her eyes, why was she crying? She quickly wiped them away before anyone noticed. What is this feeling? It felt like something…


The bell rang.


“Remember to shut down your computers, and try and get some studying in,” said the teacher.


Minute’s later students burst from the doors of their temporary jail cells and out into the world. Of course they would return the following day, but that’s tomorrow’s story.


Rin said good-bye to everyone as she walked outside. She didn’t have any after school things to do, but the others did. Kagome is on the school committee doing early planning for the school’s spring festival. Miroku is on the chess team and the debate team. And from what she heard he’s pretty good. It was a relief knowing that there was more going on up there, then just being a pervert. Now if he only used it more often. Sango did basketball and gymnastics. The basketball season ended already a couple of days before December. She was basically in a sport all school year, because in the spring she would be going out for the track team. Inuyasha is doing conditioning for track. Conditioning is pre-training to get into running mode before the season started.


Outside she watched as the teens got into their parents cars and drive away. But her mother wasn’t here, everyday for the last week she been here. Now, she isn’t…that means…means…he’s back, early. And her mother had forgotten her, just like that. This is what that feeling was; something very precious was being taken away. The feeling turned into a painful stab in her chest and angry tears formed in Rin’s eyes.


She would wait here; wait here until her mother remembered she had a daughter.


Just then a car drove up, parking in front of the school.


“Mom,” She whispered cheerfully. The feeling faded and she felt better. She blinked back her tears and walked to the car. Opening the door her mood immediately turned sour.


“Hello, Rin.”

7:26 pm


After getting home Inuyasha got into the shower. He had run himself to near exhaustion, but it was worth it. He’s getting faster, this time he was going to beat that asshole. His muscles loosen under the heat of the water. He didn’t want to admit it even when the fact was smack into his face, but that idiot was faster then him. But not this year, this year was the last year he’ll have a chance to turn it around.


The score between them; all fours years Inuyasha been on the football team they won and the mourn been on the track team he won. They each have had the chance to rub their victories in each other faces, but now he wanted it all. Turning off the water he grabbed a towel, rapped it around his waist and stepped out. The steam was a thick fog in the bathroom. He wiped the mist from the mirror.


“Geez, I need a hair cut,” he said as he looked at his black hair in the mirror.


Later, Inuyasha was dressed in sweat pants and a T-shirt. He was tried and had homework to do, not like he was going to do it anyway, but he still had it. However, there was something he needed to do first. He knocked on the door and after hearing a muffled ‘enter,’ he opened the door and walked in.


His brother, Sesshoumaru was sitting behind a desk, paused at his work and looked at him, before going back to typing on the laptop. Probably surprise that he actually knocked, Inuyasha thought.


“I need the keys to the red mustang.” Said Inuyasha walking straight up to the desk pass the between the onyx couch and square table. On it was neatly stacked books and papers, Sesshoumaru rarely changes the look of the room.


“Why?” Sesshoumaru asked out of curiosity.


“You know the party I’m having in the Rec room. I need to pick up a couple of guests.”


“And how do you plan on driving with out a license?”


Inuyasha sign annoyed, ever since their dad got sick Sesshoumaru had been acting a segregate father. It was pissing him off how he had to come to Sesshoumaru for anything he wanted. It took too much just to get him to give the okay for the party, too much compromising on his part. “I’ll drive real slow and won’t talk on my cell phone this time.”


“Slow isn’t in your vocabulary Inuyasha. And that wasn’t the reason why it was taken away, again.”


All right this wasn’t going to work. Sesshoumaru obviously wasn’t going to let go the few accidents he been in. “Then you give me a ride than.”


“No.”


“What’s the difference you already play chaffier.”


Sesshoumaru eyes narrowed at the laptop screen, he typed the same keys a couple of times, but whatever he wanted didn’t come up. He looked over to where Inuyasha was standing.


“The files are gone.”


Oh Fuck! He thought Bunza recovered everything. “So what, I still need a ride,” Inuyasha said trying to make it seem he didn’t know anything.


----


“Fuck,” said Inuyasha. He had spilled his Coke-Cola on the keyboard of his computer. He put the can right side up then, picked up the keyboard and watched the liquid drawn out. With a groan he dropped it on the desk. Even when the keyboard dried the keys would be sticky and become struck, just great and the study chat had already started. Kagome would be pissed. Then, there was knock on his door.


“Come in.”


The door opened and a twelve-year-old boy walked in. He wore blue jeans and a red T-shirt that read ‘Bite Me.’ a wide forehead, short brown hair, and dark brown eyes was his head.


“Bunza when did you get here?” Asked Inuyasha.


Their fathers knew each since high school, and often did business deals with each other companies.


“Just a few minutes ago, your dad asked me to tell you, that he, Sesshoumaru and my dad went to an emergency meeting at work. And they won’t be back till real late. So it’s just you and me bro.”


An idea just formed in Inuyasha’s head.


“So what are you doing?” Asked Bunza eyeing Inuyasha’s desk.


“Hey you said Sesshoumaru went with them?”


“Yeah, why?”


“Come on.” Said Inuyasha leaving his room.


Bunza followed him inside a room he hadn’t been in before. “What’s this room bro?” he asked.


“Sesshoumaru”s study.”


“Should we be in here?” He said following closely behind Inuyasha.


“What? You scared,” said Inuyaha turning to look at the kid.


“No!” Bunza said quickly, “What are we doing here anyway bro?”


“I need a computer,” said Inuyasha letting Bunza change the subject. The kid got teased enough at school he goes to; Inuyasha didn’t want to add to it. “I need to IM friends. We’re supposed to study for history test.”


Bunza started to laugh.


“What so funny?”


“You… Studying… I’m surprised you know what that is!” said Bunza laughing even harder.


“Why you little-,” Said Inuyasha as he was about to smack the kid, but Bunza ran away. Inuyasha chased after him. He caught Bunza after a few minutes and hit him on the head, but not before they wrecked the study. The room was a mess books on the floor papers scattered everywhere, the table and chairs knocked over. It took them a couple minutes to come back to their senses and look what they done.


“Uh-oh you’re in trouble bro.” Bunza said holding his head.


“No problem, wait here,” and Inuyasha leaving.


He returned in less then a minute, “Look,” He said handed Bunza a photo. It was a picture of the room all nice and tidy.


“You must do this a lot, bro,” Said Bunza.


“Not really,” Inuyasha laughed, “Alright lets get to work.”


In about fifth teen minutes the room was back in order. “Okay everything’s fixed,” said Bunza double-checking the picture.


“Good,” Said Inuyasha going to the desk and taking out his brother’s laptop.


“What are you doing, bro,”


“The studying thing,” He gave Bunza a death glare saying ‘Laugh and I’ll smack you into tomorrow’. Before opening it up and turning it on.


“I thought you were joking.” Bunza said snickering.


“I know what studying is I may not do it, but I know what it is.” He said shooting Bunza another glare. The kid silenced himself.


Inuyasha logged in. “Their still online.” Sango and Miroku were argument again, they are like an old married couple.


“Who’s shychild?” Asked Bunza. He knows Kagome and the others.


“I don’t know.”


Inu-tetsusaiga: who’s shychild

Mikobabe: the monk was hitting her on


“Miroku’s trying to pick up girls again,” He tolded Bunza.


“Ohhh….” Bunza knew all about Miroku ways, he even hit on his mother.


After a few minutes Inuyasha logged off.


“Does Sesshoumaru have any games on here, bro?”


“Doubt it,” He said but started to click on icons anyway. Suddenly, data just disappeared. Oh Fuck! This was the one thing that he knew that Sesshounaru never wanted anyone to touch. Pain and probably death was in his future. It was no secret that there was no brotherly love between them, but there was a truce. ‘Stay out of my way and don’t touch my stuff, and we’ll be able to co-exist’. Inuyasha cursed if dad hadn’t gotten sick Seshoumaru wouldn’t have had to come back and run the business. His dad was a very stubborn person; he was supposed to be on rest. Not running out to work, that was what Sesshoumaru was for and he would be doing it too, once he got out of collage.


“What did you do?” Said Bunza, knocking him about of his thoughts.


“Nothing! Can you get it back, Bunza,” he asked turning the laptop towards him.


Bunza started rapid firing the keys. The kid was computer genius and freshman in collage.


----


Sesshoumaru knew Inuyasha been in his study, but didn’t think he was stupid enough to mess with anything. “Where are the files?”


“Would the wrong answer be I don’t know,” Answered Inuyasha.


“It would.”


Shit! Inuyasha pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. A person picked up on the second ring, “Hey Mrs. Q. Is Bunza there…Okay… Bunza you didn’t recover everything…. From Sesshoumaru’s laptop…What! You little bastard tell me how to where you put the files.”


Sesshoumaru turned the laptop towards Inuyasha, less then a minute of mouse clicking later, “Got them thanks Bunza and next time I see you your gonna pay…Keh.” He press end call button. “Okay all is right again.”


His brother didn’t say anything he was checking over the recovered data.


“Will you give me a ride,” he asked again.


“Tell Jaken to do it.”


“Oh hell no, that geezer drives five miles an hour. It’ll take forever just to get down a street block!”


“Nonetheless you will have your ride,” Sesshoumaru.


Inuyasha stood there fuming, he wanted to go and beat the jackass until he gave him a ride. He knew that Jaken drove like an old woman. (No pun intended) Then an idea came to him, “Fine, but we’ll just to have to see about that.”

At dinner Rin pushed around the food on her plate. They ate in silence her mother was giving eyes to Naraku and Yura chopping on food with an all-knowing smile on her face. Her mood was still dim as it was a few hours ago. If she weren’t raise with any manners she would have just said, “Screw you all!” And just stayed locked in her room.


----

“Where’s mom?” Rin asked. She stood at arms length of the open door.


“No welcome back Rin and I came back early for you,” then Naraku added, “And your mother.”


“I’m sorry, I’m just surprised to see you. My mom and I had plans, so I wondering if anything was wrong? Where is she?”


“She’s at home with Yura.” He said the home with such familiarly it made her insides turn.


“Kikyo asked me to pick you up.”


Rin hesitated a bit before getting into the car. She had to remind herself it wasn’t polite of her to give him the twenty questions. She had to give him a chance.


I want my mom to be happy. It hurts that I’m not enough for her, but no matter what I want her to be happy. I will do anything to make sure you are happy. I have to swallow my pride and get over this.


After she closed the door Naraku pulled away from the curb and drove out of the parking lot.


“How was school,” he asked.


“Fine.”


He was trying to make small talk with little Rin, but she was being resistant. He wanted to make a small bond of trust between them. It would be easier to lure her if there was a bond. But the other way would be a lot pf fun if she kept resisting.


“How was your trip,” Rin asked after a brief moment of silence. She may never like him, but it was important to her mother if she at least got along with him.


“It was pretty good; the new sub-branch is coming along well. My clients thought the building a new branch in that location would be a failure.”


“But it wasn’t?”


“No it wasn’t, it was a good investment.” Naraku smile, there was a small red glint in his eyes that Rin didn’t notice. He turned onto their street block.


“Why did you being Yura along with you?” She asked.


“She picked the site where the branch is being built. Yura is going to run it after collage; I wanted her to get familiarized with it.”


“Oh that’s nice.”


He parked the car in front of the house and turned off the engine. Rin was about to pull the handle to open the door when she heard the click of the lock.


“What are you doing?” She said immediately.


“Just a moment you questioned me,” he turned towards her, “Now let me question you.” He finished leaning towards her.


Rin pushed herself as far away as possible in the confided space; she pressed herself against the door.


“Okay, but your making me uncomfortable,” she squeezed her hand behind her back searching for the handle.


“Really,” Naraku said in a low voice. A slow smile crept on his face.


Finding the handle she pulled it and it opened. Rin leaning against the door fall out, her back hit the pavement and her legs still in the car.


“Very well,” he smirked seeing her skirt bunched around her waist, revealing her panties. “We can talk later, I really enjoyed it.”


----


“Is something wrong honey, you didn’t touch your food?”


The sound of her mother’s voice knocked her out of thoughts. “It’s nothing,” she said, and started eating.


“How is it Rin, daddy made it,” said Yura.


This a bit of knowledge wasn’t going to make her feel better, especially because it was good, “It good.” She had to answer.


After dinner she and Yura cleared the table and washed the dishes. “Why are you smiling so much,” Rin asked, putting away the last plate into the cabinet. Yura had that all-knowing smile on her face, since she came home, through dinner and even now. It was starting to creep her out.


“Oh I’m just happy little sis.”


“Don’t call me that!” Rin snapped. Wait! Okay, what’s wrong with me? She didn’t like the way that came out. It’s true she didn’t like that name. But she shouldn’t have reacted that way mean and hostel. Maybe she just tried; she always acted funny when she was sleepy.


“But I think it sounds cute.”


She and Yura turned to the kitchen doorway it was Naraku. Behind him was her mother, her face lit up at his comment.


“I’m tried, I’m going to bed. Good-night” she said suddenly and left the kitchen. That was leading somewhere, she knew it what it was, but didn’t want it to be said out loud or hinted at. Her body felt like crap all of a sudden, as she entered her room. She laid on her bed and was a sleep in a few minutes.


In the kitchen, Kikyo said, “That was very unlike Rin. I wonder if she is sick, I’m going to go check on her.” And with that she left.


Once Yura was sure Kikyo wouldn’t be able to hear her she asked, “Was that the side-effects? She looked so sick all of a sudden, and the mood swing, very unlike little sis.”


“She’ll be fine after a couple of hours of sleep. Now we’ll have to wait and see.”


“And if it doesn’t. This is a one in a million chance, Naraku. I don’t want to start over, if it’s even possible to start over.”


“Don’t take that tone with me, daughter.”


“Yes, daddy.”
