Now let's get back with the story…..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last time……..


You know Kagura, I am ready." Sesshomaru answered, as he stood up and started to walk away from the table.

"I'm going…….."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm going back to the hotel, pack my bags, and then board a plane heading back to Japan."

Kagura started to panic as she watched Sesshomaru walk toward the door. Naraku came up with this plan so Sesshomaru would be away from Rin for that least a month or two. However, nothing was working out the way it should had. This Onigumo person who Naraku said would do everything he told him, had failed to show up the last four times that they had scheduled an appointment with him. He was the first person who ever refused Naurku's will Kagura could think of.

So she tried to get him interested about something else like the other galleries, plays, shopping, or more preferably her.  For the last ten days, she tried every slinky and titillating dress in her wardrobe arsenal for him to notice her.  But it wasn't working; the most he ever did was look at her with that signature bored look of his which was starting to piss her off.

"SESSHOMARU WAIT!" she screamed and then stood up, bringing the full attention of the other patrons in the restaurant to herself and the silvery hair fleeing figure. She felt desperate if she didn't stop him somehow Naraku would have her head on a platter. But, what would keep him from leaving, talk of another art job…no, a meeting with fans…no way. What was Sesshomaru's Achilles heel? Then it came to her… his reputation, his pride. With a quick idea in mind, she shouted, "SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE ME WITH OUR BABY!!"

Everything went into slow motion after the word baby. Sesshomaru spun around eyes wide open, surprise and hatred flaring clearly within their amber depths. The only reason he didn't leap across the room and strangle her where she stood was because of all the background voices that bleed through his rage.

"Hey, isn't that that artist Sesshomaru?" a man from the far left said

"Yeah, that's him" a woman from the far left answered.

"What a bastard. Leaving that woman all alone to raise his baby." voices from the table in beside him whispered.

"No one takes responsibly in this world anymore."  He heard someone else said from another direction.

"And to think I use to love his art work. You couldn't paid me to look at it now." said the final voice that filtered through.

Within the matter of seconds that scheming, vile bitch of a woman had tarnish his character. 'She'll pay for this humiliation' Sesshomaru thought as he walked back to the table where she stood.

'Maybe I should have thought of another way.'   Kagura reflected as she bit nervously into her lower lip watching Sesshomaru approach her.  Once he reached her side, he lean forward and whispered maliciously in her ear, "You're fired. And come near me again, you're be sorry."

Kagura collapsed onto the chair, as she watched Sesshomaru exit the restaurant. She started to shake as she went over in her mind what had just happen, "If I call Naraku my freedom is as good as over with. Sesshomaru never wants to talk or see me again. How did everything go so wrong? Everything was going perfectly in my life until…until…" She stopped shaking; her eyes narrow, and started grinding her teeth, "It's that bitch Rin Kato fault." She spat out. Yes, it her fault, all because Naraku wanted her, and Sesshomaru had her. Before that manipulative cunt came into the scene she had the love of her life neatly in her grasp, and her freedom secure.

"I'll make Sesshomaru and Nakaru pay for fucking up my life. But, most of all Rin." Kagura said, as an evil smile come upon her face, "She'll wish she had never been born."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A week later at Scandalous Boutique Shop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rin you look beautiful in this dress."  Naraku cooed, as he stood behind her in front of the three way mirror rubbing slowly up and down on her arms. "I love how the color purple looks against your skin."

"Naraku…" She said nervously as she squirm to free herself of his grasp, " I-I think this dress is p-pretty, but I liked the red and white one and bit better. It isn't quite as revealing as this one is."

Rin couldn't believe the so called dress she tried on just to please Naraku. A halter dress with a deep neckline that splited two separate pieces of gathered material that barely covered her breasts. The dress bottom section was a very translucent material with two thigh high slits in the front. The thing reminded her of an S & M outfit, Ayame showed her that was in one of those specialty store window display.

"Believe me Rin; you're really draw a crowd in this dress." He then brought his hand from her shoulder and started rubbing the small of her bare back.

Rin jumped against the mirror after feeling Naraku's hand. She then twirled around, and pushed him harshly away for her. It felt like an eternity as they stood there staring at each other, Rin noticed something different about Naraku's eyes instead of the kindness, she saw hatred and something else.

She felt claustrophobic being in the room with him, she had to get away, " I-I'm sorry Naraku about pushing you, I don't know what came over me. I think, I should be going." she mumbled  as she tried to scoot around him. Naraku quickly gripped her arms, threw her toughly against the mirror, and snarled in a harsh whispering voice, "Why I ought to …"

"Naraku, you're hurting my arms." Rin cried, as she struggled to free herself from his vice like grip.  As fast as the attack started, it ended with Naraku apologizing  to her.

"O my God…Rin." He bowed  as he back away slightly from her, and watched as she gently rubbed her bruised arms, "  I sorry, please forgive me. I just lose my temper at time, and I don't realize what I'm doing until it to late."    He tried moving closer to her again, but she kept moving away from him.

"That o-okay, Naraku.  We all have an off day." She swallowed hard and her voice became more shaky, "B-but I-I 'm tried now, a-a-and I'm going home. O-okay?"

"Okay, Rin. I'll call you tomorrow." He then turn around and walked out the store. Rin stay in her position against the mirror until she heard the front door of the boutique shop jingled open and then jingled closed.

She then slid down to the floor, bringing her hands up to her mouth and nervously bit her nails, "That was way too scary." She then twinge as she examine the ten large circular black and purple marks that now covered her upper arms, "This is all my fault for pushing Naraku, I just don't know why but he's been creeping me out lately." She became lost in her thoughts, as she remained on the floor. She didn't even realize that she was crying  until a sales woman come over to check up on the noise she heard.

Upon seeing Rin on the ground, the women stooped beside her and asked, "Miss…are you okay? Is there someone who can help you?"

Rin looked up with red rimmed eyes tears still flowing freely and answer, "No… I don't think anyone can help me."

~~~~~~~Later that night, on a plane crossing the Pacific Ocean~~~~~~~

"Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen…this is your pilot. I would like to apologize again for our late take off from LAX to Tokyo international. Our flight is proximity fourteen hours, so arrival time there should be around ten o'clock a.m. Now, during our flight…"

'Annoyances…annoyances …annoyances.' Sesshomaru thought, as he tuned himself out the pilot ramblings about air current or some other useless information like that. Since the moment of Kagura's deception, Sesshomaru sworn that the Fates were out to get him one way or another.

First, when he got back to his hotel room that evening, he could not find his passport anywhere. Therefore, he was stuck in New York until Jaken found his spare passport and airmailed it to him. The next morning after the incidence, he was shock to see his pictures plastered across several gossip magazines. Some said, 'Sesshomaru dumps mother of his love child on rocky road' or 'Artist paints a fond farewell, as young mother weeps.' However, the one that left he completely amazed read, 'Woman from Venus says, "I'm pregnant with Sesshomaru's baby also."'

Then when he finally arrived at the airport, his flight out of New York JFK to Los Angeles LAX was delay three hours. And then he got to LAX, his other plane to Tokyo International was cancelled for two days due to a tropical storm that mysterious appeared over the Pacific Ocean.

'Oh how she'll pay. I'll make her wish that my name stood for forgiveness or kindness instead of…'  

"Hey Mister…" a female voice called out.

He looked up abruptly and found himself staring into the face of  a five years old girl whose mouth and hands were covered in a sticky residue from the giant lollypop she was holding.

"Hello." He replied as he eyed the child warily.

"Is your name Se-Sea-mare-roo"  she asked playfully as she continued to licked her candy.

"Yes little girl my name is Sesshomaru. Why are you asking?"

"Because Mommy and Auntie Ann were arguing about it. They said, that you're a bad man who didn't want his little girl. Why didn't you want your little girl mister? Huh?"

'Unbelievable' Sesshomaru thought, as his mouth dropped open slightly and then eyed the girl's mother as she quickly turned the child around in the chair, and peered over her shoulder at him and nervously said, "Sorry. But, kids do say the most darnest things don't they."

"But mommy!" The girl cried, "You and auntie said…"

"Shhh…" The woman said to the girl trying to keep her quiet.

'Yes, the Fates are cruel…' He continue to think as he looked out the plane window trying to forget about the people in front of him, ' but I'll be crueler. '

~~~~~~~~~~~Mid Morning the next day at Sesshomaru's home~~~~~~~~~

"No… I won't be in the next couple of days, Naraku." Rin said as she twisted the phone cord around her finger and chewed her bottom lip. "I not feeling very well."

"Rin, is this about yesterday?" He asked in a harsh tone, "I told you I was sorry. "  

"No, it's not about that at all." She answered anxiously, " I just feel like I'm coming down with something."

"Well, I could come over and help you feel better." He purred.

"NO!!" she panicked, the last thing she needed was for Naraku to find out where she was living at now, "Please Naraku, I just need a few days off that's all. If I don't get any rest, my voice could give out"

He was silence for a few moments then said, "Okay, I'll tell the club that you're taking a couple days off. But if you're not better by next Friday, Doctor Naraku will be coming over to take care of his favorite patient." He chuckled.

"Thank you, I'll talk to you on Friday. Bye." She said hurriedly.

"Bye R…" was all he got out before he heard the dial tone. As he hung up the phone, he started thinking, ' She must still be afraid of me, I'll send her some roses.'

As he walked into his kitchen, he noticed the calendar on the wall, "Hum…It's been three weeks now, I wonder how things are going with Kagura in New York? That disobedience bitch should have called me by now with a progress report. I'll called Onigumo tomorrow to find out about everything, right now I have more important things to worry about."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Eww" Rin sighed, as she took her hand off the phone. " Well, at least I have a week to figure out why I'm feeling so strange around Naraku lately. Ayame and the guys should be back in town on Tuesday, and I'm going to find out why everyone hate him so."

Rin walked out of her room and headed toward the kitchen, "Hello Jaken…" she called as she entered the large kitchen, "Are you in here?" No answer,  she shrugged her shoulders and left the kitchen as started walking toward one of the dens.

Rin didn't  know  where Jaken had been the past couple of days. She remember  one day last week, she was walking by Sesshomaru's studio door and saw him in there looking for something and saying, " Oh he'll have my head if I can't find it." When she poked her head in and asked if he needed some help, he threw her out and said, "The master doesn't like anyone in his studio without his okay."

Rin wanted to tell Jaken that before Sesshomaru left he said that she could go into any room in his house. But Jaken slammed the door of the studio in her face before she got the chance.

CREAK!!

"He really needs to put some oil on that hinge." She muttered, as she pushed opened the door and clicked on the light. When she first come across this room last week, Rin could tell that Sesshomaru didn't use it that much. White sheets covered furniture, boxes upon boxes clutter the vast space and dust was everywhere. She was sure that it was only use as a storage space, and it wouldn't be any harm if she just looked around in it.  

She walked over to the windows and pushed the dusty curtains apart and opened windows to air the room out. After some of the dust settled and the sunlight flooded the room, she turned around to see a particular  shape item. She when over a removed the sheet from it, and was happily surprised by what was underneath. It was an elegantly crafted black and gold baby grand piano.

'Wow, it's beautiful. I wonder why he has it in here?' she pondered as she lifted the panel cover exposing the gleaming ivory and mahogany keys. Now Rin had to admit she was not as good as Miroku playing the piano but she did know how too. When she hit the C key, she was once again surprise to find out that it was in tune.   

She looked around and found the piano stool next to a box of music sheet.  The music sheet were mostly classical, but luckily she did find one ballad that was stuff deep down toward the bottom of the box.

" Jim Brickman, My Valentine. I remember this song, it's really pretty. Maybe I'll ask  Miroku if we could add it to our selection." She said out loud, as brought the music to the piano and sat down.

~~~~~~~~~~~At that exact same moment pulling up driveway ~~~~~~~~~~~  

Jaken hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran to the passenger side to open Sesshomaru's door.

"Oh once again, let me say how good it is to have my back home Master. That silly woman you left me with was…." his words were cut short when Sesshomaru accidentally tripped him.

"Jaken, keep your useless tête-à-tête to a minimum. I'm tried and I don't want you to say anything against Rin again." He said coldly narrowing his eyes as if he was shooting daggers at him. " Do I make myself clear."

"Yes, Master Sesshomaru." Jaken cowered.

As Sesshomaru opened his front door, he was greeted by a sound he thought that was safely packed away in the storage room. He suddenly realized that Rin must had found his fathers' old piano that he give to him when he moved into his house, but it was the song she was playing on it that made his blood run cold.

If there were no words no way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears no way to feel inside
I still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You'd still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need my love, My Valentine.

He dropped his bags at the door, and sprinted down the hallway toward the storage room. All the while thinking, 'How in the world did she found that song. I thought I threw it away years ago.' He burst onto the room, and become awe-stricken.. There was Rin singing and playing with the mid-day sun shining thru the window upon her back, giving her an angelic effect and the pink camisole top she was wearing only gave her a more innocent charm.

All of my life I have waited for all you give to me
You opened my eyes and showed me how to love unselfishly
In my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart until the end of time
You're all I need my love my Valentine

Rin was so wrapped up into the song that she didn't notice Sesshomaru slowly walking up to the piano.

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You'd still have my heart until the end of time
Cause all I need is you My Valentine
You're all I need my lo...

SLAM!!

The cover panel came crashing down over the key nearly hitting Rin's fingers. She jerked her head upward and found herself staring into two amber narrowed eyes.

"Sesshomaru?" she said surprisingly.

"Rin…never play that song again." his voice cold and distance.

~~~~~~~~~While outside at the front door~~~~~~~~~

Jaken was picking up Sesshomaru's bags and muttering, " That damn woman did something to upset the master.  O I wish…." He was so involved in his chore that he never heard  the blue car pull up and park beside Sesshomaru's.

A lone figure got out and walked over toward the door, when they were right behind Jaken, the person said, "Well…well long time no see Jaken."

Jaken quickly turned again, dropped Sesshomaru's bags and raised his hand up and pointed, " You………
