Close to You

 

“I wish you'd let me close to you,” Rin murmured, not expecting a response.

 

“Close? I do not understand,” Sesshomaru answered as he glanced at her swollen abdomen. “Have we not been close?” He followed her gaze to see InuYasha and Kagome, his hands lightly cupping her face and their foreheads touching as the miko whispered to him.

 

“Half-breed,” Sesshomaru sneered.

 

“I am sorry to have troubled you, my Lord,” Rin whispered before she hurried away.

 

“Asshole.”

 

Sesshomaru turned to find InuYasha now alone, glaring at him.

 

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” the hanyou continued. “Do you know what you just did?”

 

“My affairs are none of your concern,” the inuyoukai replied with disdain.

 

“Have you considered what is growing in her belly? A half-breed, just like me.” InuYasha's voice softened, “Sesshomaru, you took a human as your wife.”

 

“Do not presume-”

 

“Brother, Rin now thinks you do not want your child. You need to tell her that you asked my wife to come for her sake.”

 

Sesshomaru remained silent so InuYasha continued, “When she said she wanted to be close to you, she didn't mean like that, she meant… well, she wants you to talk to her, tell her what you are thinking. I'm half human with a human heart, and I still have a fucking hard time understanding everything. But I do know that Kagome needs more than me just wanting her. She needs to know that I need her. I find ways to let her know. You have to do the same.”

 

“Rin is not Kagome.”

 

“Rin is a human woman with human needs. Go apologize for being such a jerk. Tell her you need her and want your son. Don't wait until it's too late.”

 

Sesshomaru suddenly found himself alone with very confused thoughts.
