Chapter Nine


Sunday 5:12 pm New Years Eve


“When will your friends be coming to pick you up,” Kikyo as she watched her daughter walk down stairs.


“Any minute now they’re actually late.” Rin replied. She was dressed in dark navy blue jeans with multiple pockets along her legs. Her mother brought this for her one if their shopping sprees. She wore a red shirt that ended mid-thigh in a triangle with pink and blue flowers. Everything she had on was new except for locket that hung around her neck. She rarely wore it, but today seemed like a good day. Her mother pleased with the answer left and went into another room.


Rin peeked out the door window, it was the last day of December and it still hadn’t snowed enough to stick to the ground. They barely had a white Christmas. If it usually didn’t snow a lot in December then January and February was going to be awful now. And by then she would be sick of snow. No one was out there.


“Where is Rin going?” She heard Naraku asked from the living room.


“She going out with her friends for New Year’s,” Her mother answered.


“To a party.” She heard Naraku’s immediate assumption.


“Oh don’t worry Rin is a very reasonable young woman. She doesn’t do this much- “More like never Rin mentally interrupted. “So I think this will be good her.”


There was a short pause then Naraku said, “How my people will there be? Is it just girls or will there be boys too?” He was giving her mother the twenty questions about what she was going to do. It was troublesome how he was playing the parental role. Because she didn’t think of him as a father or a friend, but nor was he a stranger. He was just a guy who lived in the same house and humped her mother at least twice a day sometimes more.


“Yes there will be boys and including Rin, it would be seven, and parents will be there too.”


This was another thing she’ll have to get use to she thought skipping out on the rest of the conversation, heading back upstairs. Guess I better get permission from both of them next time, Rin thought, when the doorbell rang, “I’ll get it.”


But her mother beat her to the door first. Kikyo didn’t open it instead waited until she got there.


“What is it?” She asked.


“I want you to being Yura along with you to bond more.”


Oh, we bond all right I know lots of things about her. Yura goes in my room and borrows my cloths and make up. Most of it comes back ruin and that’s if I’m lucky. And when you and Naraku go out to dinner or something Yura’s pig stock room invades into the rest of the house, which I have to clean up after her. We have daily early morning chats, because we can’t sleep. That’s your fault by the way the way and I think she’s a lesbian. Yura has an obsession with porn especially bondage and dominatrix.

Early morning Sunday


“Let me try that one you,” Yura said excitedly.


Rin just stared at her like she was crazy. On television the woman in the tight, uncomfortable looking, black leather body suit. She was tying a man into an unnatural position. She never knew the human body could bend that way; it was like a yoga position or something. And the man looked to be enjoying it. People are really weird, how could he like that his bones could be broken or dislocated. Rin inwardly cringed at the sight. She was only sitting here because Yura promise they wouldn’t watch porn, but not like this was much better at least they are both clothed. And plus the couch is much more comfortable then the kitchen chairs.


“Come on I won’t tie it tight.” Yura said trying to coax her into it.


Was there even a need to say it, but, “No, there is no way I will let you tie me up.”


Yura’s happy face disappeared, “Well, I guess,” She reached into the couch cushion and pulled out a black looking leather cord, “We’ll have to do it the hard way.”

-


Needless to say Yura didn’t tie her up all the way, just the wrist. They wrested around for about a good ten minutes, before her mother and Naraku came downstairs to see what the noise about. Yura quickly made a tale saying we’re just playing around and she managed to hide the cord tied tightly around her wrist behind her back. They didn’t look too convent, but they said all right and spent them to bed. In her room she unbound her wrist and saw a faint blue ring forming.


“Okay, but let me tell my friends first,” said Rin.


“Sure,” Her mother stepping away from the door, “I’ll make sure Yura is ready.”


“Okay,” she watched her mother go upstairs. This is not going to be good Kagome and the others don’t get along with Yura. Moving to door she opened it to see Kagome and Inuyasha. Before they could say anything she quickly stepped out on the porch and closed it behind her.


“Ready to go?” asked Kagome.


“Can I asked you guys a really BIG favor,” said Rin.


“What is it?”


“Promise you won’t be too upset.”


“Just spilt it out all ready.” Inuyasha said impatiently.


“Inuyasha!” Kagome said in a scolded tone. “Don’t worry about him he doesn’t want to leave Kouga alone at his house to long. It’s a dumb guy thing.”


“Oh I understand men and big egos why don’t they get over themselves.” She said agreeing.


“What the hell! H-“


“Inuyasha,” said Kagome said pleasantly sweet voice.


“Yes,” he answered cautiously.


“Shut Up!” And he did. Wow! Rin thought.


“What the favor,” Kagome said getting back to topic.


“Okay,” Rin exhaled, “Can Yura come with us?”


“No!” Inuyasha immediately.


“That’s not a good idea,” said Kagome disturbed as Inuyasha.


“I know but it’s my mom’s idea she want us to bond or whatever it was probably, because of what happen this morning.”


“What happen?” Was the immediate question?


“I’ll tell if she can come.”


“That story I can pass up then,” said Kagome.


Just then the door opened her mother and Yura stood in the doorway.


“I’m ready little sis.” Said Yura wrapping her arms around Rin.


“I hope you don’t mind Yura coming along. I want Rin and Yura to have a sisterly outing.” Said her mother.


There was a slight pause as Rin gave a pleading face. Inuyasha still look had the ‘hell no’ look on his face and Kagome might be caving in but she wasn’t sure.


“Sure you know what they say ‘The more the Merrier’,” Said Kagome. Inuyasha shot her pointed glare.


“Oh I’m so delighted, now have a good time dears.”


“Bye mom.” Rin and Yura said at the same time. Rin gave Yura a dark glare, but she just winked at her.


“Oh how cute,” her mother gushed.


“Let’s go.” Inuyasha said dryly.


They started downstairs, “Get off me” Rin whispered.


“Not yet mommy still watching,” Yura whispered back in her.


Rin turned her head, her mother was watching them, she most likely wouldn’t go back in until they were in the car and left. She waved at her mother before turning back, “Fine, but loosen up.”


“Why don’t you like it?”


“Get off me!” Rin said in a low voice, roughly throwing Yura’s arms off her. It was times like this when she thought that Yura played for the same team. She had to put a stop to it before it got worst. Turning around to face her, “Will you not act like that this once!” Right now she didn’t have the patience to deal with Yura odd behavior.


“But I like you, your very special to me little sis.”


“Let’s just go,” she signed in defeat. How could a day that was suppose to be fun turn into such a hassle? She turned around and went to the car. That’s when she noticed the man in the drivers seat; he stared at her (or at least she thought he was looking at her) with a familiar glare of annoyance. She saw him somewhere before, but couldn’t quite remember where. He had a resemble Inuyasha, same dark brown eyes, black hair and nose. They must be related Rin concluded. There was something else about them that seem different from what she remembered, however, now she more important things to worry about.


Inuyasha got into the front seat, while Kagome climbed in back; she got in next taking the middle and Yura last closing the door. Inuyasha gave of a brief introduction of the driver, his name is Sesshoumaru and that was it. ‘Brothers, don’t get along too well’ Kagome whispered to her. Sesshoumaru glance at his passengers in the back seat before starting the engine and pulling away from the curb.


The car had not been moving five minutes when Rin felt Yura shift beside her. She ignore it a first, but when it happen again, she took notice. Yura was taking off her shirt revealing a tight spaghetti strip shirt.


“What are you going?” She whispered.


“Look,” Yura said loud enough for everyone to hear, “I don’t want to go to your little party, so just drive straight for three more blocks and drop me off at the corner.”


“Yura,” Rin gasped, how could she be so rude.


“Happy to, but you could save us the trouble by jumping out now-


“Or I can come over there and help you,” said Kagome finishing for Inuyasha.


“Oh testy Kagome-chan,” Yura cue, “You know Hiten and Manten like that in a girl, they’re anxious to see you again.”


“You lousy bitch,” said Inuyasha coming in Kagome’s defense.


“Just wait a minute,” Rin said quickly putting herself in the way of Inuyasha before he climbed into the back. She didn’t know the history between them, or why Kagome had a frighten expression on her face, but she just didn’t like fighting. “Can’t we talk this out?”


“The hell of a lot of good that’s doing!” Inuyasha answered.


“Yura laughed, “Lets talk this out right, little sis.”


“You’re not helping.”


Unknown to them Sesshoumaru drove the three blocks and parked at the corner. It was about a good five minutes before Yura noticed. “Look where we are thanks sweetie,” She made a kissing sound to him and get out the car.


“Yura!” Rin said following her out and closing it behind her, before hearing Kagome and Inuyasha protests.


“Make sure not to come home before three o’clock,” Yura said pulling off her baggie jeans to reveal a black mini skirt.


“Where are you going?” Oh, why did she care! If Yura were to go off somewhere then her evening that was supposed to be fun would be. No more cheap shots going back fore and no more on edge Kagome and Inuyasha.


But still she couldn’t help to care she was worried for Yura. Lots of things could happen on New Years, it was already dark and good things don’t have a habit of coming out at night.


“What does it look it look like,” she stepped out of the jeans and pick them up, “Make sure these get home.” She shoved them into her arms and started to walk away.


“Wait,” Rin pleaded, “Let’s just get back in the car and go.”


If her mother and Naraku found out that Yura left on her own, that she’ll get into to trouble for not going back home and telling them, but she was more worried about her safety.


Rin was picked on a lot, but when one of them was about to get ran over by a car. She ran out into the street and pushed him out of the way that left her to get hit instead. Fortunately, the driver managed to brake in time. And that’s how she felt about Yura a bully that she didn’t want to see hurt, even if it did seen like she deserve it.


Yura turned around and walked back to her until they were inches apart. “I like it,” Her voice low to a whisper, “the sound of your voice, the look on your face,” her hand slowly risen, “your pure frighten innocence, it’s so lovely,” at that moment her fingers touched Rin’s cheek, and Rin gasp in reaction. It stayed there for a brief seconds, before she took it away. “Nice make-up job.” And with that Yura left.


It was a light touch though it was enough to send a pain spreading through her cheek. Rin’s hand covered the cheek, but not touching it. Did she know?


It was a dream. Rin thought it was dream, when she woke up in her bed with the covers pulled up to her chin. Everything looked the same as the day before so she wrote it off as just a dream. But that cushiony mind set she herself in was scattered when she looked into the mirror. A large dark blue bruise covered her left cheek, (no wonder she didn’t feel it she slept on her right side) touching it creating a stinking pain. It was real. That made her think she could her have been… but no she felt like same, as she normally did nothing was wrong expect for the bruise.


But then how did Yura know? She had covered it up with make-up, without telling anyone and thought she did a pretty good job of it. Maybe it wasn’t good as she thought. Rin opened the car door and got inside.


-


“I can’t wait little sis, until that innocence of yours is broken. Can’t wait to see”


-


Instead of the anger fill tension that fill the car’s atmosphere moments ago it was now the nervous tension. All of it coming from her. She was embarrassed for Yura and wanted to apologize but knew it wouldn’t help, what was done was done. Looking out the window watching the shadowy outlines of the trees go by.


“You owe me a story.”


“Uh?” She said not understanding turning towards Kagome.


“You owe me a story, she came,” Kagome said not saying her name.


“Oh, we got into to wrestling match. About three o’clock this morning we’re both usually downstairs on the couch watching TV. Yura always have the remote so she picks the channel. It was a domination thing the woman was tying a guy in an odd way. And she wanted to try it on me. I said no, and it seemed like she was going to give up but then she lunged at me.”


“Did you win,” said Inuyasha turning around in his seat.


“My mom and Naraku heard the noise and came downstairs and broke us up.”


“Well I hope you got some good hits in.,” said Kagome and Inuyasha laughed.


It was confusing at how much bad feeling Kagome and the others had towards Yura. She just couldn’t understand it because she didn’t know anything.


“Um,” Rin started it seemed to be a sensitive subject, but she needed to know what happen, “What did Yura did do. I want to understand the grudge you guys have against her.”


Kagome gave a sad smile, “I know what you’re trying to say. Yura’s now like your sister living in the same house and everything. So you want to have some faith in her. Then we come along and tell you she’s an evil spiteful bitch. Well at least the drive is long enough to tell it all.”


-About twenty minutes later. -


How could…She was cruel…


“Enough of depressing mode Rin,” said Kagome.


“Uh?” she said now paying attention to her surroundings.


“We’re going to have fun!” Kagome grabbed her hand and tugged her through a door following Inuyasha.


She must have been running on automatic, because she couldn’t remember getting out the car or entering the house. A pungent smell of chorine hit her nose.


“A pool.” Rin said amazed. An indoor pool.


“We only use to swim laps,” Inuyasha informed.


She looked down at the tiny checkered tiles and read the words ‘NO RUNNING.’


Rin thought about all the encounters she had with her. She was mean at times, the way she taunted her about her mother. And the ‘I like you’ thing she said it in a way that made her think there was something more to it. Not to mention that all-knowing smile definite creep her out. It was possible that she would do those things, Rin thought. Maybe there was reason for it; no it was just to be mean there was no other way to explain her actions. How could it be other wise?


“Surprise!”


“Uh?”


Pause


“Is that it?” said Ayame lowering her arms.


“Well that’s a bust.” Kouga said.


“No, no, no, no, I was thinking about something, you caught me by surprise,” She said looking around the room. There were happy birthday signs hung across the back wall, balloons place in the corners, a couch, TV set near the front of the room with a table that had cups and liter bottles of soda.
Everyone stood in the middle standing behind another table with the plates, forks, and the food. At the back was another door.


“Yeah, then you said ‘Uh’,” Kouga said with a confused look on his face mimicking her.


They all laughed.


“Want me to go out and so you can do it again?”


“No, just can blow out the cakes before you have wax cake,” Said Sango.


“Cakes,” Rin echoed taking a good look at the table, “Why are there three cakes?”


Another round of laugher sprang throughout the room.


Sango explain, “We never decided who was going to make the cake. Ayame made that one,” she point to the one with pink frosting, “The middle is Kagome,” It has vanilla frosting, “And the last one is Miroku,” With the chocolate frosting.


“You baked a cake Miroku?” She asked.


“Anything for the ladies.”


“Quit lying you brought it.” Said Inuyasha.


“Brought it for the ladies.”


Rin crack up laughing, Miroku was Miroku. Looking at the burning cradles on each cake she noticed something, “I’m not eighteen, I skipped a grade, seventeen.”


“Blow out the cradles smarty pants,” she Ayame.


“You got three wishes, wish well,” she heard Kouga say. Walking up to the table she stuck in a breath and blew them out. And the music blasted on.


“That’s my song. Come on Rin let’s dance,” said Kagome pulling her away from the cakes.


“What a thing of beauty,” Miroku said watching.


“Cut it out,” Sango smacked him up side his head.


“Perv,” Inuyasha walked by mouth full cake.
