AN: I am alive!!
____________________________
Sunlight filtered into the
bedroom of the Lord and Lady of the Westernlands. A brown eye cracked open in response
and the owner yawned before the call of nature steered her vision towards the bathroom.
Rin attempted to get out of bed when the arms of her mate encircled her tighter
followed by a growl near the back of her neck where his chin rested. He sniffed
for her scent a few times then calmed down again.
Having been in this situation
almost every morning since she had been marked, she already had a plan of
escape. Rin shifted in his arms so that she faced him. She paused for a moment.
He looked sound asleep. She doubted a war could wake him. “That’s justice served for what he pulled last night.” She thought
wiggling an arm out of his hold. She brushed his bangs out of his eyes and
admired him for a moment glad for his stubbornness when dealing with her. Of
course she would never tell him that. Nature called again and Rin focused on
getting her overly protective mate to let go. She rubbed his ears gently and
true to form his grip relaxed allowing her to slide out.
A few minutes later her bladder
was happy again and she imagined so was her baby. Taking care of yesterday’s
grime was next on her list. The feel of the hot spray on her body along with
the soap suds was heavenly. Now she was relaxed and ready to face the day. She
was behind on paperwork because of his little stunt last night. She would sneak
off to get it done and see him and the meeting.
Rin shut off the shower and
got dressed. She was about to head out of the door when her cell phone rang and
her stomach growled. She would have to grab something on the way into the
office. “Hello,” she said into the phone.
“Rin, I am glad you’re awake.
I need to talk to you. I’m outside.”
Rin opened the door and
red-eyed, flustered Kagome holding Ryoko greeted her. “What’s wrong?” she asked
her protective instinct going into high gear. “Where is Inu Yasha?”
“I am not speaking to him,”
Kagome snapped. She grabbed Rin’s arm and they started down the hall of the
building. “I just can’t believe he did this…”
“Did what?”
Kagome flushed slightly. “Inu
Yasha got riled up for some reason… idiot! Next thing I know I am up against
the wall…”
‘Too much information,” Rin
interrupted.
“Sorry,” Kagome sighed
flushing deeper. This was so stupid. “Well it looks like you won’t be the only
one looking for maternity clothes.”
Rin paused. She remembered
half listening to Kagome mentioning that she wanted to wait until Ryoko was
older before having another child. “Misery loves company.”
“Thanks a lot.”
“Get over it,” Rin replied.
“It’s not like he did it all by himself.”
Kagome frowned for a moment
then gave up. Rin did have a point there, but that did not change the fact that
her mate was an ass. “You taking up for Inu Yasha is new. But you’re right…I
came to you to rant you know? Usually that requires you to just listen.”
“I have never been one for
pity parties,” she said dryly. They walked out on to the street. “Where are we
going anyway?”
“Auntie,” Ryoko called out
suddenly reaching for Rin. Said aunt immediately took the child having been
through this before. Ryoko settled on Rin’s hip and buried her face into her neck.
She sniffed a few times and closed her eyes. “Maru and baby.”
This earned a look from
Kagome. “That’s dog demons for you,” she hunched her shoulders and continued
onward. “We can have lunch in the park. There’s a great sidewalk café there.”
“And we can take her to the
park afterwards,” Rin suggested then put her hand to Kagome’s mouth to silence
her next statement. “Don’t start on how I changed or how cute I am or I will
kill you.”
Kagome stepped back with her
hands up and grinned. “You’re still the same antisocial, woman I met months ago.”
Rin rolled her eyes in response as they fell into silence. The park was about
five blocks away from the penthouse. It made for a nice little walk.
“Play. Play.” Ryoko said
excitedly once they reached the restaurant. She struggled in Rin’s grasp. “Play.
Play.”
“No Ryoko, we will eat first
then play.” Kagome gestured towards the restaurant.
Ryoko shook her head and
pushed against Rin again. “No. Play.”
“This is can not be my life!” Rin held the toddler from her and look into her eyes.
Already the child was strong as an adult. “Listen, little girl, you are
bruising your Auntie. Your mother said no playing until after you eat and she
meant it. Do you understand?” Violet eyes welled up with tears and a bottom lip
trembled. “Do you understand?” Rin repeated sternly.
“Yes ma’am,” she hugged Rin
close and burst into tears, making Rin feel helpless all of the sudden.
“You didn’t fall for the
pouty face,” Kagome smiled. She rubbed Ryoko’s back. “Mommy has a new ally but
I still love you.”
“Love you mommy,” Ryoko mumbled.
“She’s clinging closely to
you today. Must have been about the nightmare,” Kagome mused still rubbing
Ryoko’s back. “Jaken said she was fighting in her sleep and calling for you. I
will have to keep an on her.”
For the rest of the time,
Ryoko behaved as she ate her lunch. Once she was done she looked at her mother
expectantly. “Yes, you can play now.”
“Yea!” she clapped her hands.
The two women paid for lunch
and Ryoko grabbed Rin’s hand. Kagome looked at her curiously for a moment when
she felt her mate. “Daddy,” Ryoko pointed sniffing.
Seeing Ryoko prepared to run
off, Kagome looked towards Rin. “Could you…?”
“Come on Ryoko. Show me what
you can do,” Rin replied carrying her off so the adults could talk. It was
official she was trapped…future soccer mom.
Once they were a good
distance away, Rin let Ryoko down to walk a bit. They reached the playground in
no time which was mostly deserted. A warm feeling settled over as she watched
Ryoko run and play with a few of the other children. She absently touched her
own abdomen. The life she never thought she would have, play park watching,
sport cheering mom. Geez!
Ryoko suddenly stopped her
game of tag. “Nana!” she ran off.
Brown eyes widened and she
tore after the child. “Ryoko, stop!” They were going deeper and deeper into the
park. “This kid is going to kill me.” she huffed
barely keeping up with the quarter demon. “Ryoko, I said stop!”
Ryoko stopped immediately.
Her hair stood on end and she bared her little fangs. “Are you planning on fighting
me, little girl?” Rin was highly amused. Bad ass. “I used to be a demon hunter
I…” her sentence trailed when she felt it. She pushed Ryoko behind her as two
ghosts from her past showed themselves.
“Used to be?” Bankotsu asked.
Jakotsu walked behind him.
“O-Rin, I never took you for
the mothering type,” he teased.
“What are you two doing
here?”
“Tying up loose ends,”
Bankotsu answered.
“So I am a loose end now?”
“No, but we have orders to
bring you back if we come across you,” Bankotsu motioned towards Jakotsu. Rin
watched them carefully. They were trying to box her in so they could attack.
She pushed Ryoko closer to her and brandished a dagger from a hidden place.
Sesshomaru suggested that she carry one since she was so bent on handling
things for herself. “It’s better than a
shoe or a rock,” he commented. She was still pissed at his ribbing and that
Kenji told him about the incident in the garden maze. Both of them were pains
in her ass, she would have to pay them both back later.
“Ryoko, hold on to Auntie,”
she said coolly.
Small hands wrapped around
Rin’s right leg tightly. “Yes, ma’am.”
“So the brat isn’t yours.”
Jakotsu commented.”
“Of course not!”
“But still tied to her,”
Bankotsu commented. “Exiled changed you I see."
“You two know how I feel
about small talk,” Rin growled. Her eyes tinted red. “Fight!”
At the sight of her eyes
Bankotsu smirked. “Plan B.” Before Rin could begin to digest what that meant. A
gas bomb went off near them. Jakotsu leaned forward to attack while Bankotsu donned
a mask. They were taking a cue from the exterminators. She had to get away. Rin
pushed Jakotsu back and cut him across the cheek earning a pissed off squeal
along with rash attacks. Bankotsu sighed at the easy exploitation. Jakotsu was
such a liability sometimes! He began to attack Rin’s legs knowing full well she
lost most of her mobility with Ryoko attached to her. Having the little girl
with her worked perfectly for them; damned if she did, damned if she did not.
Rin stumbled a bit as
Bankotsu managed to get a cut across her arm. She needed help. The gas was
getting to her. It would be her luck that they were knock her out versus
getting themselves killed. She would never live this down. “Call Daddy.” Ryoko howled
while still holding onto Rin. Two sets of eyes widened as an alarm chirped from
Bankostu’s wrist. They nodded to each other. Jakotsu rushed her followed by
Bankotsu then blackness. “Sesshomaru!”
