Chapter 3 : At long last

Rin sat still against the stone floor, just outside Sesshoumaru´s office. She had been sulking all the while, asking why the three are having a meeting without her. It is in such rare occasion when Sesshoumaru leaves her unattended like this. She has to think clearly. Maybe she is to be taken away to Inuyasha´s and Kagome´s home.

She knew someday, when she is too repulsive for being an adult human, her Sesshoumaru-sama would leave her. But she didn't think that it would be this sudden.

That´s it. Theyre taking her away. It can only be the reason why they are packing her things off. Jaken had told her this morning that she has to neatly arrange her things because Sesshoumaru had said to pack her things, later that day.

Kami! This can´t be happening! Didn't he made a promise to her?

She knew it was childish to think of it right now. "The bride of his palace." Rin repeated the words. "Up to my arse!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed angrily, standing up and storming inside the office without thinking twice.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! You cant be doing this!" Rin knew it sounded whiny, but it always works, she gets what she wants with this tones all the time.

Kagome and Inuyasha turned there heads towards her. Sesshoumaru looked quite surprised to say the least.

"Rin, I cant be doing what?" He asked.

"Sending me away!" She answered hysterically.

"Sending you away?" Kagome repeated the words carefully as if she were slow.

"My things are getting packed already! I know whats happening and Im not going to live at Inuyasha´s place!"

"Sheeesh brother, she´s got a nastier temper than the one I have right here." Inuyasha chuckled. "Rin, you´ve got everything wrong."

Flashback

"My feelings has not changed all this years. You are now old enough, and I ask you now, if your own feelings has not change… if it didn't. I will ask for your hand… And if it did, one word… and I would never ask again." He took a deep breath.

"Are you sure this is IT?" Inuyasha asked his brother after reading the lines instructed by the author LadyRen. "Isnt it a bit long for the types of you?"

"That my brother I have realized." Says Sesshoumaru, he was in the mood of banging someone´s head against the wall.

"Not only that, it sounds really Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice too…" Kagome pointed out.

"Who is that?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Oh, that´s another long story." Kagome settled down with the answer.

"Let´s concetrate on this okey?" Inuyasha took another deep breath. His 5th time to be exact. He just didn't want to hear another row of romance that Kagome keeps fuzzling about. "Why don't you just say straight what you want, Sesshoumaru? You know, "the real you"?" Inuyasha nearly chuckled on this advice.

"That my brother, would cause this children fanfic to have a higher rating."

"Good point." His hanyou brother nodded.

"Nonetheless. That figured. I still don't know what to say."

End of Flashback

"What did I get wrong?" Rin questioned, her tone a little calmer.

"Could you accompany yourselves out of this room?" Sesshoumaru asked, eyeing both Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" She looked quite apologetic, biting her lower lip like that.

Inuyasha and Kagome left, closing the slide door behind them silently.

She walked behind his desk, kneeling just beside him. Then throwing her arms around his neck tightly.

He held her in his arms, burying his nose on her shoulder and kissing it lightly.

"You didn't forget about the promise didn't you?" She asked him, letting go slightly, her face barely away from his. Her breath tickling his face.

"I didn't." He answered simply. "Your things are getting moved into my chambers."

Before she realized what he just mentioned, Sesshoumaru lightly gave her cheek a peck.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin scolded.

"Nani?" He thought she was protesting.

"Right here!" She suggested her fingers resting over her lips.

There was nothing to worry about…. afterall. He should´ve known.
