Blood Red Roses II

Chapter One – Captured

As she worked around the kitchen, Rin hummed lightly just thinking about the upcoming baby. Two months had passed since she told Sesshomaru about her being pregnant again. Already a few of the tail tale signs of her current pregnancy were showing and she was quite happy with the current way everything was running.

Little footsteps could be heard coming her way as she stood in front of the stove.

"Momma," Cameron said rubbing her eyes as her little footy pajamas dragged across the floor.

"Good morning Cami," Rin said turning to look back at her daughter, "how did you sleep last night?"

"Fine," Cameron said as she stood next to Rin, her little fingers wrapped in the hem of Rin's house robe.

"Good," Rin said as her free hand lowered and rubbed the little triangles atop her head. "Go on and sit down at the table and I'll get your breakfast to you, okay?"

"Kay," Cam said going to the table and hopping up into her specially made chair. The little hanyou began to amuse herself with the placement mat that laid in front of her until her ear twitched at the sound of her father walking into the kitchen.

"Good morning," Sesshomaru said gaining the attention of his girls.

Rin turned and smiled at her husband as she bid him a good morning. Cameron jumped up from her seat and ran into her father's arms. Sesshomaru happily picked her up and sat her on his shoulder.

"And how did my little girl sleep last night," he asked looking up at her, his golden eyes staring back into those of his daughter.

"Slept good," she said smiling at her father happily as she planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Good," he said as he sat her down on the chair again then took his own seat at her side. He watched his wife carefully as she set about making their plates like an art of a sort. He smiled knowing that she would be bearing him another child in only a few short months. She was already four months along. "Only five more to go."

Rin slowly made her way over to the table, balancing three plates in hand as she sat them in front of everyone. Together they ate breakfast, completely content with each other's company.

After breakfast, Rin got Cameron ready for school then left to drop her off. As soon as they arrived at the school, Rin got out of the car with Cameron and walked with her into the building.

"Mommy, after school can we go get frozen yogurt?" Cameron asked looking up at her mother.

"Of course we can baby," Rin said smiling down at her daughter.

"Yay," she cheered happily as they rounded the corner and walked into her classroom.

Cameron released her mother's hand and ran to go and play with her friends that were already in the classroom. Rin leaned on the door frame for a moment as she watched her daughter completely unaware that someone was standing right beside her.

"Ah Mrs. Takahashi," it was Cameron's teacher, "so good to see you. How are you?"

"I'm well how are you," Rin said turning to look at Cameron's teacher smiling.

"Quite well myself," she said. "And so is your daughter. She's showing great progress in her speech."

"I've noticed," Rin said smiling. "She's gotten great with her subject/verb agreement and with the pronunciation of certain words. I believe that my husband and I have you to thank for that just as much as ourselves."

"Yes, well she is also one to thank for how quickly she learns," the teacher said smiling as she watched the little hanyou playing with her friends. "She's a very sweet girl and very easy to get along with. All the kids in class love her."

"That's wonderful to hear," Rin said smiling a little brooder as she watched her daughter.

It was quiet between the two adults a little longer until Rin decided to turn to her daughter's teacher and smile. "I'd better get going. Have a wonderful day."

"You as well Mrs. Takahashi, and take care of yourself and that little one that's on the way," the teacher called after her.

"I'll be sure to do just that," Rin said turning to leave as she waved.

Sesshomaru looked up at the clock that sat on his desk. Standing, he grabbed his suit blazer and keys then turned to leave the office building. As he passed some of his employees he waved goodbye to them as they bid him a good day. Walking to the elevator, he pressed the button and waited for the elevator to reach the 24th floor of the company. As soon as the doors opened, he stepped in and pressed the button to the lobby.

Walking through the lobby to the motor lobby, Sesshomaru pressed the unlock and auto-start to his car and stepped in. Placing the keys in the ignition, he closed the door then pulled out, heading towards Cameron's school. As he drove down the streets of the town, he dialed the home phone number and waited for Rin to pick up.

"Hello," her soft voice flowed through the phone after the fourth ring.

"Was there anything you needed picked up before I head home with Cameron?" Sesshomaru asked as he turned onto the street his daughter's school was on.

"Uh no, not really," Rin said. He could hear the clinking of dishes in the background. "But I did promise Cameron that she could have frozen yogurt after school."

"We'll get it for her after dinner," Sesshomaru said pulling into the parking lot of the school and turning off the car. "We wouldn't want to ruin her appetite beforehand."

"Hmmm, that is true," Rin said. "Well then you guys can just come straight home."

"We'll see you in a few." Sesshomaru said as he got out of the car and closed the door behind him.

"Alright, bye love," she said before hanging up the phone.

Sesshomaru placed his cell phone in the holster on his slacks, and then walked into the school. As he headed down the hallway he got the strange sickening feeling that something was wrong. As he walked into Cameron's classroom he further noticed that something was array.

"Oh Mr. Takahashi, I didn't know that you would be showing up as well," the teacher said when she heard him walk into the room. "Cameron is already gone."

"What do you mean she's not here?" Sesshomaru asked Cameron's teacher raising an eyebrow.

"Your sister came and picked her up about ten minutes before you arrived," the teacher admitted.

"I don't have a sister," Sesshomaru said, his fists clenching together; claws piercing the palms of his hands.

"Are you sure," she asked.

"You think I wouldn't know if I had a sister or not," Sesshomaru barked before he turned to leave the room.

He didn't want to believe it but he knew… His past was coming back to haunt him and they got his daughter. It was at that very moment that Sesshomaru determined blood would be spilled whenever he got his hands on whoever had the gall to take his daughter from him.
