Destiny-Chapter 2

Chapter 2

“Slow down Rin, you don’t know what car is mine.” Sesshoumaru called after Rin who was walking away fast.

“I bet I can guess which car is yours.” Rin called back and stopped uncannily by a black Mercedes-Benz. “This one yours?” she asked when he got next to her.

Sesshoumaru just stared at her with a look of confusion. “…Yeah…how did you guess?”

Rin gave a light shrug. “It’s the most business looking car in the parking lot.”

“There has got to be more to it than that.”

“Don’t you want to know? Come on, I need to get home. I’m expecting a call.”

Sesshoumaru unlocked the doors and opened Rin’s door for her. She blushed slightly and stepped in. Sesshoumaru shut the door once she was in and went over to his side and got in. “Where do you live?” He asked as he started the car.

“1350 E. 28 S. the Demon Apartment complex. Pretty run down, but cheap. Kagome and I split the cost in half. Two bedrooms one bath. Mini Kitchen and living room. It’s quaint and cozy. It smells of smoke, though…because of the person who owned it last.”

“Sounds interesting.” Sesshoumaru said, glancing at her then back to the road.

“What about you? Where does a business man like you live?”

“I live in the old ‘haunted mansion’ where children like to sneak onto my property, looking for ghosts and other supernatural things.”

“Hmm. Any thing supernatural there?”

“I’m sure there is. Probably a ghost here and there.”

“I think these children don’t know the real places to find such things. I bet a circus is more supernatural then an old mansion. My store, Gothic Clothing, is more than a clothing store. It’s also where you can find a few supernatural items and people…” Rin said softly, closing her eyes. “I’ve been thinking about changing the store’s name.”

Sesshoumaru glanced at Rin again. “So, I take you believe in supernatural things.”

Rin opened her eyes and turned to face him. “You have no idea how many things I believe in.”

Sesshoumaru was about to speak when his cell phone rang. “Hello.” He said, answering it…giving an apologetic look at Rin. “What do you want Inuyasha?”

Sesshoumaru paused to listen. “Thanks.” He finally said and hung up.

“What did Inuyasha want?” Rin asked, a little bit curious and a little bit suspicious. She had a feeling it was something about her.

“He wanted to remind me I have something important I need to do. So I best get you home.” He said offhandedly, causing Rin to get more suspicious…but she didn’t show it.

The rest of the ride was silent. No one talked. Sesshoumaru was doing as Inuyasha suggested and was focusing on hiding a secret of his into the dark depths of his brain so the psychic Rin wouldn’t find it out. Meanwhile, Rin was doing just that, trying to find out why Inuyasha called and any dark secrets Sesshoumaru might have. Sesshoumaru was succeeding and Rin was failing.

“We’re here.” Sesshoumaru said finally as he pulled up in front of the Demon Apartments.

“Thanks for the ride.” Rin said curtly. Then she faced him. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to sound mean. I really appreciate that you gave me a ride home.” Rin paused trying to decide to tell him something else. Then she spoke again. “The supernatural circus is going to be in town tomorrow. I work there whenever it’s in town…so if you want to come.” She paused again to look into Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes. “Unless, you don’t believe in that sort of thing, of course.”

“I don’t know if I can. But thanks for informing me.”

Rin gave a nod, forced her eyes away from his, and got out of the car. “Bye.” She said then she shut the door and started towards her apartment. She heard Sesshoumaru drive off quickly and soon it was quiet. She glanced up at the full moon; it was a blue moon because it was the second full moon that month. Then she walked up to Kagome and her apartment …number 13. The person who built this apartment meant to skip the number 13 but something happened. Rin found it suiting for her to be in an apartment with the number 13, but Kagome found it disturbing.

Rin pulled out her keys from her pocket and unlocked the door. She opened it and walked in, leaving the lights off. She walked over to her chair and sat down. She closed her eyes and held out her right hand, palm facing the floor. She sat like that for awhile then her eyes popped open. It’s time. Rin immediately thought.

The phone rang almost instantly after Rin thought that. She got up and gracefully walked over to the phone. Her pupils were bigger than normal. She was in a trance.

“Hello,” she said with a lower voice than normal.

“Hello, sweet psychic Rin. We are needing your assistance to help set up for the circus. We just arrived in town.”

Rin’s eyes went back to normal. “Naraku…what are you doing? I…”

“I knew that the only way to see you was to buy the Supernatural circus. You may have rejected me, and Kohaku, but we have an idea how to change your mind.”

Rin rolled her eyes. “You two…changing my mind. I find that impossible seeing that I’m a psychic and you two are powerless humans.”

Naraku laughed. “We shall see. Get here as soon as you can. I need my palm read again.”

“Ha ha ha.” Rin laughed coldly and hung up the phone. Soon after, the phone rang again. Rin answered. “Hello Kagome.” She said without hearing the voice on the other end.

“I hate it when you do that Rin. It so freaks me out.”

“It’s payback for this evening.”

“All right…so maybe I deserved it. I’m sorry. Anyways, I called to tell you that you probably won’t see me till tomorrow, so don’t wait up.”

“I’ll be up, but not here. The Supernatural circus is back and I need to go and help set up.”

Rin heard Kagome shudder on the other end. “Help set up on a full moon, nevertheless a blue moon. Plus its Friday the 13th and we live in apartment 13. I don’t like that. Be safe okay.”

“I will.” Rin replied. “Don’t worry about me.”

“Kay, bye.” Kagome hung up the phone and Rin did after. Rin went to her room, changed into a black medieval dress, and put up her hair. She glanced over at a portrait of one of her great great, great, grandparents…who was the first psychic in the family. In the portrait, she was wearing the same dress as Rin was now. Her name was Katrina and Rin was named after her even though she was Japanese and her great, great, great, grandma was English. She glanced away from the picture when Katrina’s eyes moved to look out the window at a shadow.

“I’ve got to be careful about that.” Rin said to herself and turned away from the room. She didn’t worry about grabbing a jacket and left for the Supernatural circus.
