Chapter 7: The Damsel in Distress is found

Kagome came back from her regular morning run feeling uneasy. There was a tenseness in the air that she had never sensed before. Something big was going to happen soon.

She went into the house and made herself a fruit salad for lunch. She didn't want to ruin her appetite for tonight's dinner. Tonight! The dinner! She finished her lunch in a flurry and took a quick shower. She was also going to bake a bunt cake and she needed to get started. Her earlier fears were forgotten as she happily immersed herself in baking and planning.

"Well that wraps up today." Rin said cheerfully.

Sesshoumaru sighed. This woman's constant cheerfulness kind of bugged him. It didn't help that it reminded him of Kagome. `Kagome where are you?' "Well I will be going then."

"No! You must come to my house for dinner." Rin insisted.

"I already told you, you don't have to do that." Sesshoumaru was not in the mood. `Maybe I will call Kagome tonight'

"My cousin would kill me if you didn't come. She is making her famous oden! It is the best in the world! Come on. Don't insult us like this. And besides, don't worry about the work. I sure she has already finished it."

Sesshoumaru sighed again, this time in frustration. "Alright, whatever." This woman stubbornness also reminded him of Kagome. "But get one thing straight. I bet I know a person that makes better oden."

"I doubt it. Anyway, you really should meet my cousin. She is funny, smart, beautiful, and single. She has just ended a rather long, and in my opinion, worthless, relationship." Rin said the meaning behind her words very clear.

There it was again. Why was he constantly thinking of Kagome while talking to this woman? There are tons of girls who had just ended a relationship. Rin cut into his thoughts.

"Okay, you can follow me back to my house." Rin couldn't help but think that he looked familiar. She also couldn't help but think how sexy he was. `Now this is a guy for Kagome.' She thought to herself. `Oh well, we shall soon see.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~ </ p>

As Kagome sung along to Linkin Park, she glanced at what she had completed. "Perfect." She said to herself. "Now all I need is………Oh no! Are we out?" Kagome searched frantically. They were out of fudge! She quickly wrote a note for Rin and ran to the store.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~ </ p>

Sesshoumaru followed Rin to her car. He stopped in his tracks. That car was identical to Kagome's! "Is that your car?" he said offhandedly.

Rin looked at him curiously. "Um, no this is my cousin's car. My car was in the shop and wouldn't be ready in time, so I borrowed hers. Why?"

"No reason." Sesshoumaru said. It was just an eerie coincidence.

When he walked into Rin's house, he was blasted with the music of Linkin Park and the amazing aroma of oden. Both made him smile. He had only known one person who had liked Linkin Park.

Flashback:

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha walked into Kagome's apartment to pick her up for dinner. He was overwhelmed by the volume of the music.

"Who listens to this god forsaken music?" Sesshoumaru asked Inuyasha.

Kagome came out from behind him. "I do." She said, smiling at Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru couldn't help but smile back.

When he returned to the present, Sesshoumaru found himself in the kitchen.

Rin noticed a note on the fridge; she glanced at it and threw it on the table. "Sorry, my cousin is at the store picking up something. She will be back soon."

Sesshoumaru shrugged. "Don't worry about it." He picked up the note, as Rin bustled around checking on things. His eyes widened as he read it.

"Rin,

I realized I forgot something for dinner. I will be right back k?

Love,

Kagome"

Everything clicked into place. The car, the music, the food, all of it.

He had found her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~ </ p>

Kagome parked the car and made her way into the house. She was so engrossed in a piece of paper in her hands, she barely noticed the third car in the driveway.

"Rin," she said as she entered the house. "You know that guy Kouga who is always harassing me to date him? He wouldn't let me leave unless I took his number. Can you believe that?" She stepped towards the trashcan, oblivious to the third presence in the room. She threw the paper into the trash. "Well forget that……….." She stopped noticed Sesshoumaru. Her eyes widened.

Sesshoumaru was entranced as he watched her move around the room, not registering his presence. He felt breathless when her startled eyes met his. She was beautiful. He tried to sound braver than he felt. "Hello Kagome."

"Sesshoumaru?" she breathed.

Chapter 8: True emotions revealed

Kagome sat by Sesshoumaru watching the sunset on Rin's roof. Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome into his lap and held her tightly to him. "You know, we have to go back to reality sometime." He hated to admit it, but they needed to go home.

Kagome sighed deeply. She snuggled against Sesshoumaru. "Can't we just stay here, together forever? Don't you wish that?"

Sesshoumaru gave Kagome one of his rare, beautiful smiles and snuggled back. "Every minute of every day."
