Still confused on how she ended up in Miroku's office, Rin was almost exploding with questions. Hows, whys, and whats collided in her brain trying to organize themselves by priority for when the monk returns. After the ride down the elevator, he led her down to his office and then had promptly ditched her, stating he had some loose ends to tie up. Still flustered by his comment in the elevator she barely noticed his exit.

What was with that guy? He asserts hisself in her business and claims she loves Sesshoumaru. Ha! It was almost laughable if it wasn't happening to her. She didn't love him, or even like her boss for that matter, he was cruel. If it wasn't for his handsome features and perfectly sculpted physique Rin would never look his way or blush in his presence. But unfortunately, he was the most beautiful man she'd ever met and her whole body registered that and acted inappropriately every time she saw him.

She often found herself blaming Kagome for her predicament, not in a hateful way, just as a matter of fact. Kagome knew how beautiful he was and how frumpy Rin was, and still she decided it was a great idea for her to work for him. To see a man that she can only envy and never have. Again, not that she wanted him or his crappy attitude, he definitely was not her type. She scoffed at her self, she didn't even have a type, never actually having a boyfriend unless you count high school. She dated a guy name Kohaku for awhile but she never wanted anyone to know about her living situation and it made getting to know her difficult. After awhile he dumped her saying she was too closed off and started dating someone else.

Since then, people wondered where she come from, who her parents were, and Rin ensured that no one knew she was a child of foster care. Kagome was the only one who pushed her way into Rin's life, at first it was annoying Rin thinking the older girl was extremely nosy. But as Kagome uncovered more and more of Rin's dark past, she realized the undeniable care she held for her, nothing would make Kagome turn her back on her. She was one of the best things to ever happen to her. In this predicament now though, Rin cursed their friendship. Without her she wouldn't be in a stranger's office after being forced as his date for a ball she is also being forced to go to.

Talking about the stranger known as Miroku, he's been gone a long time, maybe he forgot about her. Feeling restless she began to explore taking note of things that can give her more insight on this guy. The half naked posters on his office walls were a huge red flag but besides that nothing else was out of the ordinary. There were no personal trinkets or pictures anywhere, if he didn't say this was his office there would be no evidence to link the two.

"Sorry for my extended time away, there was a situation," the man on my mind entered the room a sheepish expression on his face. His voice was the trigger and my mouth started shooting questions in rapid succession.

"Why would you assume I have feelings for Sesshoumaru? Why do you want to take me to the ball? What are you planning? Why were you in Sesshoumaru's office in the first place? How long have you known him? Why do you have so many bikini model posters on your wall? Don't you think that's a bit unprofessional to have in your office?"

"Now, now my little project all your questions will be answered in time. Just have fate in me."

"How can I have fate in someone I just met and won't answer any of my questions?"

"Fine," he huffed dramatically, "no, showcasing other professionals performing their jobs is not unprofessional. There I answered one of your questions, now you must do something for me."
