Walking on campus Kagome met up with Rin, who was sitting on a bench in one of the University's courtyards. Rin was dressed in a pair of light gray skinny jeans that emphasized an adorable bubble-butt and a cute lightweight black camisole. Kagome was dressed in a short, bright violet sundress with silver beaded thongs sandals. The two girls were hanging out a bit before it was time for their morning classes to begin.

 

“It's a nice day today!” Kagome stated cheerfully.

 

“It really is, considering the weather yesterday” Rin replied.

 

Yesterday's rain clouds were chased away by sunshine, heat, crisp clean air and chirping birds.

 

Kagome smiled, “I need the sun out today…it suits the mood I'm in…”

 

Rin looked at her friend her face, blank.

 

“Oh come on, Rin! I know it's impossible to temp you with gossip, but don't you have the tiniest bit of interest why I'm in such a better mood then yesterday? I mean you gotta agree I was a total wreck last night when I left your dorm.”

 

Rin, who was patiently and unenthusiastically listening to Kagome, waited for her to finish speaking. She knew why Kagome was in such a great mood today compared to all the depressed loathing she was demonstrating yesterday. Sango and Kikyo made sure to tell her last night when she stopped by after her unsuccessful rendezvous with Naraku. She cringed mentally, for someone who prided herself so much with her intelligence; she sure did come up with an entirely dumb idea.

 

Realizing she got caught up with herself in her own head, funny how often that tends to happen, she decided for the sake of her friend and her own amusement to play along.

 

She took a long, hard look at a beaming Kagome.

 

“Looks like you got laid.”

 

Kagome's jaw dropped slightly.

 

Responding to Kagome's reaction Rin asked her friend, “am I wrong?”

 

Kagome let out a small, exasperated `huff' and asked Rin, “Are you kidding me?”

 

Rin cracked the barest of grins, and changed her seating position on the bench in order to face Kagome better, “what can I say…you're glowing”

 

“Really? Like with happiness?” She asked perking up.

 

“No, I was attempting sarcasm, sorry, the hickeys on your neck gave it away.”

 

Kagome instantly reach up for her neck, using her small hands to cover the marks. She saw them in her vanity mirror while she was brushing her hair this morning, and had a small episode of freaking out, knowing that she had spoken to her mother earlier that morning unaware of the marks. She assumed her mother didn't notice because she didn't say anything or let on to the fact that she had. She felt bad for her mom though, her one and only beloved daughter was sporting a series of vulgar `love bites' all around her usually flawless neck.

 

“I tried putting facepowder on them this morning before I left the shrine. Are they that noticeable?” She asked nervously.

 

Rin felt badly for upsetting Kagome especially since she was just trying to tease her and besides Kagome seemed to be in such a better mood and mind-frame today, she didn't want to ruin it. She decided to come clean with her overly distressed friend.

 

“No it really isn't, we're just out in the sun and I, being the munchkin I am, have the angle that allowed me see it, you did a good job covering them up.” Rin said hoping to make Kagome not worry so much.

 

She continued, “the reason why I know your feeling better today is I went over to Sango's and Kikyo's place late last night and they kinda…um…they kinda told me about your `get together' with Sesshomaru.

 

Kagome's eyes got big and bright “Wow! Word really does travel fast with the group of friends we have doesn't it? Man…I'm glad I trust you girls or else I'll feel embarrassed. Wait a minute… How did Kikyo and Sango find out?

 

“Well Inuyasha was there too…”

 

“Inuyasha! Oh Kami noooo…this is embarrassing!” She exclaimed.

 

“Yeah, well he was forced to tell Sango and Kikyo after Kouga called him to complain about Sesshomaru kicking his ass. By the way that's so cool to have two sexy yokai fight over you.” Rin explained.

 

“Hey Rin why were you at Sango and Kikyo's place last night, I thought those two were on some type of double date?” Kagome asked, getting sidetrack.

 

“It's a long story, I'll save it for another time, right now were discussing you Kagome” Rin easily dodged Kagome's question, not wanting to get into the whole `I almost tried to fuck Naraku' confession. She knew out of all her friends, Kagome would be the most concerned. She knew Sango and Kikyo would do the honors of spilling the beans for her anyways.

 

“I should be mortified shouldn't I?” Kagome playfully asked Rin.

 

“Nah, Inuyasha only told us about Sesshomaru getting into it with Kouga, us girls only assumed you and Sesshomaru…made up. So did he Kagome? Did Sesshomaru apologize to you for yesterday morning? Rin asked.

 

The taller of the two girls developed a slight rosy blush when she was asked to reminisce about the night before, “You could say he apologized.”

 

`The sexiest and messiest apology I've ever received,' thought Kagome.

 

Out loud she said, “things between Sesshomaru and I are better now, I just wished I didn't have to wear Sesshomaru's homemade collar around my neck for Kami knows how many days. I considered wearing a collared shirt or even a turtleneck but it's so hot outside today, I would melt in this heat.”

 

“Who cares about what other people think Kagome. Don't burden yourself with what may be going on in other people's heads, the only opinions that should matter to you are yours, your family's, your friend's and most importantly yours!” Rin lectured.

 

Too bad her friend couldn't be a little bit more like her, able to block others and not give a fuck what they may or may not think.

 

“I really wish I could.” Kagome answered honestly, sometimes she just couldn't help but feel self-conscious.

 

“Heh” Rin huffed aloud, with a small wave of her petite hand, “I think most people are typically preoccupied with wondering what others are thinking of them. It's a silly circle don't you think?

 

“I think it's too early in the day for you to try to twist my brain into a knot!” Kagome joked, trying to avoid Rin's psychoanalysis.

 

“Okay, but later…and don't fret over the marks, they aren't that bad, just wear your hair down and you have nothing to worry about.”

 

“You think so?” Kagome asked still sounding a bit worried as she removed the silver clip holding the thick blanket of hair off her shoulders.

 

“Yes.”

 

“By the way you kind of do have this glow about you today Kagome”

 

“Really?”

 

Rin nodded.

 

“Cool, so I am exuding happiness!” Kagome delighted.

 

“Yeah, sure maybe happiness, or lust…or maybe it's love.”

 

Kagome responded with a nervous laugh “Oh okay, lets not get too ahead of ourselves, I think happiness is just fine for the time being.”

 

“But you wouldn't rule it out would you?” Rin asked her tone suddenly serious and sincere.

 

“What?” Kagome asked.

 

“Love.”

 

Kagome looked at Rin and answered, “no, I wouldn't.”

 

“Good, I wouldn't either. You're a good friend Kagome and I think you deserve to be happy.”

 

“Thanks Rin I feel the same way about you…” Kagome replied feeling a bit awkward.

 

The conversation just got too heavy for Kagome and she wasn't up for any soul searching this early in the day, she hadn't even attended her first class, and in spite of her better mood today she wasn't exactly looking forward to it since with all the commotion in her life recently she's barely cracked open her textbooks. She tried her best to cram as much as she could last night but it was damn difficult to concentrate after being to thoroughly ravish in the Shrine's front lawns.

 

Glancing at her watch Kagome realized she had about five minutes till class started, she grabbed her book bag and hugged Rin.

 

After saying their goodbyes, Kagome hustled over to her first class of the day.

 

 

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

“Oh why couldn't my good fortune last just a little bit longer?” Kagome pleaded too herself while on the train headed to downtown Tokyo.

 

Kagome was sprawled out, taking two seats on the train with her school bag and notebook spread out urgently looking for Sensei Hojo's syllabus.

 

“I just can't believe it!?!? Oh Kami why do you just shit on me all the time?” Kagome whined.

 

She was oblivious of the amount of stares she was receiving, completely self-absorbed. Finally, after rummaging through her yellow binder she located the syllabus, she quickly flipped the document over to the academic calendar portion of it and began to scan it.

 

Reading the calendar Kagome let out a high pitched “Fuck!” while flaring her arms and both legs, knocking her book bag off the seat and onto the floor of the train. School supplies were scattered all over the train.

 

Marked on the syllabus was the exam Kagome knew she had tomorrow in Sensei Hojo's class. She knew she'd been slacking, but figured after cramming last night, and cramming as much as she could after work today, she could manage to earn a decent grade. She even considered begging Inuyasha to let her leave work early tonight. But after Sensei Hojo's lecture he advised them their exam was tomorrow as scheduled, as were their research papers that were due in conjunction with the exam. It was worth 50 percent of her final grade. She totally and completely fucking forgot. This has never happened to her before, she's never been so unbelievably irresponsible. How could this happen? She was always on top of her studies; always planning and getting an early start on assignments. Fear of losing her scholarship, Kagome approached her Sensei after class and asked if it was entirely possible that she may receive an extension on the research paper. To Kagome's despair Sensei Hojo not only said no, but decided to go into a whole lecture discussing `academic ethics' and how giving her an extension would not only be unfair, but unethical of him.

 

“Douche-Lord” Kagome grumbled to herself while shoving her notebook back into her book bag.

 

There was just no way she could study for an exam, and write the research paper in the amount of time she had. Kagome couldn't help but feel hopeless.

 

`Mama is going to kill me…'

 

The train reached Kagome's stop, and the depressed dark hair girl gather herself and her school supplies off of the train and made her way through the packed sidewalks of the downtown Tokyo, with an equally dark cloud that seemed to trail her everywhere not far behind.

 

`It can rain now...' Kagome thought in her gloom and doom state.

 

Walking into Yokai, Kagome had to squint her eyes as they adjusted to the dimmer lights of the resturant. She looked around for Sango; she needed her BFF's shoulder to cry on. But Sango wasn't anywhere in sight. Sesshomaru on the other hand was. He was standing in the hostess area going through one of the reservation books. He was dressed in his signature black dress pants but today he wore a dress shirt of a deep navy blue. His hair, in its custom prim and neat ponytail high on his head, almost took on a bluish tint quality with that new shirt on; Kagome noticed his selves were neatly rolled up his arms showing the hard muscle of his forearms.

 

He looked up from the book and spotted Kagome, and if it wasn't her imagination his normally hard, and serious face almost seem to soften. Closing the reservation book and putting it away in the hostess stand, he walked over to Kagome.

 

As the Inu taiyokai made his way to the demure and petite girl, he could sense something was amiss with Kagome. Her scent was dull and her aura was oozing an ugly gray. Concern shot through his being, an impulse to stop whatever it was that was causing Kagome to suffer drummed through him.

 

“What is troubling you Kagome?” Sesshomaru asked skipping a greeting.

 

Kagome vision was focused on the plush carpet donned by Yokai, meekly said “Good afternoon Sesshomaru-sama.”

 

“Answer this Sesshomaru, what is wrong?”

 

Kagome briefly looked up at the inquiring demon. Sesshomaru noticed something quickly playing across the features of her face, but before he could get a decent read on the girl she looked down to the cushy carpet again, as if she was mesmerized by the intricate gold thread woven throughout the rug and answered a very soft and untruthful `nothing'.

 

“Kagome do not lie to me, it's impossible, and this Sesshomaru knows you're upset, I can smell it.”

 

“Oh yeah…damn,” Kagome whispered.

 

Kagome just didn't what to be this girl, the little girl who whines and dumps her problems on Sesshomaru's lap. Sesshomaru just had to find that unattractive.

 

“Kagome…” Sesshomaru called out, warning that his patience was growing thin.

 

“Okay, okay, I just didn't want to burden you with my petty problems Sesshomaru-sama.” She looked up at him hoping perhaps he would grant her some type of reprieve. She didn't want to tell Sesshomaru her boss, and now her lover, of her completely immature mistake. It was embarrassing.

 

“Go on” He urged her; she wasn't getting out this.

 

“Well I told you before how I have exams this week, well it turns out besides the exam I had an additional assignment that was due as well and I completely forgot about it. It counts as half of the final grade.”

 

Kagome looked up again at Sesshomaru, he was silent so she continued.

 

“There's no one to blame but myself, I have this horrible dilemma and I just don't see a way of getting out of it.”

 

“This Sesshomaru understands why you would be upset, Kagome.” He stated with a small amount of compassion.

 

“Yeah, I practically beg Sensei Hojo for an extension on the paper…”

 

Sesshomaru noted the name Hojo and committed it to memory.

 

“…But he refused, so even if I would have had a miracle and crammed as much as I could tonight, it wouldn't make any difference, I would still fail the final. I've never gotten a failing grade before, I'm afraid this is going to jeopardize my scholarship.”

 

A pang of guilt struck Sesshomaru, he knew Kagome was a full-time college student, and he also knew that her grades were important to her and her future, she always had a responsible nature and strong work ethics seemed to be a part of her undeniable character. He also knew that he was occupying a great deal of Kagome's time and now suspected that he had interfered she her studies. He had to right this.

 

“That would not be acceptable” He stating plainly.

 

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru in the eyes then, hers lacking their usual sparkle.

 

“Huh?” Was her eloquent response.

 

“You may go home tonight, this Sesshomaru will have someone replace you so you may have the opportunity to attend to your studies.”

 

“Oh no Sesshomaru-sama, I do want to impose, I wasn't trying to imply that I wanted the night off, I was just answering your question. I know I need to take responsibility for my actions.”

 

“Exactly, so use this time to make things right Kagome. This Sesshomaru expects no less from you.”

 

Kagome's innocent eyes peered into his own amber orbs and looked for some sign that he was just quipping or joshing her. She found no signs and accepted that he was serious; he had high expectations for Kagome. And that made her feel…it made her feel that he cared. Simplistic as it might sound, it was the best way for Kagome to identify the emotion Sesshomaru was expressing to her, and she silently cherished it.

 

As eyes brighten and pretty pink lips turned upwards, Kagome quickly peeked around and saw that the foyer to Yokai was empty minus her and Sesshomaru. She quickly, and boldly dared to rise on her tippy toes and kissed Sesshomaru softly on his closed lips.

 

“Thank you Sesshomaru-sama”

 

“Go on now, Kagome” he simply said.

 

Kagome nodded, “this means so much to me” she turned and left the resturant.

 

Sesshomaru still standing in the now abandon foyer brought a clawed finger to his lips and thought `not as much as that kiss meant to this Sesshomaru.'

 

The Inu taiyokai took a brief bit of time to relish the softest and most affectionate kiss he'd received in such a long, long time.

 

`I need to make this right for her' Was the only thought in the taiyokai's mind, he had an overwhelming need to protect Kagome.

 

Turning on his heel he headed towards the back of the building where the stairs were located. Making his way up to his office, he passed Inuyasha and ignored his half-brother's request for help obtaining sales reports that Kanna, the new project manager, needed. He also ignored Inuyasha's huffing onslaught of hot curses once the hanyou realized he was on his own.

 

Stepping inside his office he walked over and he sat behind his massive dark desk and open his laptop. He accessed his browser and he made short work of searching the Internet. Once retrieving the information he was looking for he picked up the telephone and dialed. Surprisingly the call was answered quickly.

 

Sesshomaru's deep smooth voice penetrated the phone line, “Yes, you may direct my call to Sensei Hojo's office…”

 

 

*~*~*~*~*~*

 

 

In a downtown Tokyo train station, a petite brunette was sitting on a bench completely engrossed in the book she'd just purchased from the used bookstore. She was patiently waiting for Sango's brother, Kohaku's train to arrive. Once done with the duty of escorting her friend's baby-bro to Sango's apartment she could get back to her little dorm and sit on her little single bed and contemplate her little life and non-existent love life.

 

`I need a boyfriend…'

 

Now Rin knew she didn't actually `need' a boyfriend, but she sure as hell knew she wanted one. She was so happy that her closest friends' love lives' seem to be going so well, even Kagome's, which seemed to be a tad rocky. But Sango's been dating Miroku for just over a year now and going strong. Kikyo and Inuyasha were obviously enthralled with each other over the small amount of time they've spent together; they appeared to be well suited for each other. She wanted that, her masculine match so to speak. She wanted to experience romance, lust and passion, maybe something even deeper.

 

A guy well matched for her personality, perhaps near her same level of intelligence, that's what she truly what she wanted. She had to admit to herself that the other night was definitely a huge waste of time and an awful idea. Being lonely is no excuse just to go and throw your self at some random guy, especially a guy with a reputation of being a womanizer like Naraku. Sure, he was good looking but most definitely not boyfriend material.

 

Little Rinny required more than that! She needed the whole package, as Sango would put it, looks, brains, and gamming skills! But thinking of Kagome, she had to remind herself to be patient and know that one-day Kami will see that her time to meet someone special would eventually come. She was a good girl like Kagome, and just look what Kami offered her, the sexiest yokai that she'd ever seen.

 

` If you want to make him as hot as Sesshomaru I'll wait double the time …' She quietly prayed to whichever Kami might happen to be listening.

 

Snapping out of her daze Rin focused on her task at hand. Taking a peek at her cell phone she took in the time.

 

`Its noon, Kohaku's train should be here about now,' she thought.

 

Looking over to her left she saw standing in the middle of the arrival platform was a young man looking around as if he was searching for someone. From the distance where Rin was sitting that young man looked like a blurry version of her best friend's little brother. Shutting her book and putting it away in her bright red, hobo styled handbag, Rin stood up and made her way over to the Kohaku look alike.

 

Approaching him she realized this guy really was a `Kohaku look alike'. It looked like the guy Rin has seen in the photographs in Sango's apartment and on her computer, but yet different. He was a bit older looking and bigger. Wearing a pair of black loose fitting jeans and a dark coal-gray t-shirt, she instantly notice in the loops of his jeans was a pyramid studded belt very similar to the one she owned. He was effortlessly toting two large duffel bags.

 

Closing the distance between the two, Rin waited until he looked down and made eye contact, when he did, he let a boyishly handsome smile play on his face.

 

“Are you Kohaku, Sango's little brother?” Rin asked outright.

 

Smile still in place he answered, “Yeah, I'm Kohaku, Sango's brother.”

 

He purposely left off the work `little', since it was no longer really appropriate.

 

Rin took a moment to look at Kohaku, not caring if it appeared as if she was sizing him up. This was not the little brother Rin had gotten to know through Sango's photo albums, this was a more grown up version and she currently in charge of transporting him to her friend's place.

 

“You look much shorter in the pictures Sango has on her computer” Rin stated.

 

Without missing a beat Kohaku countered, “you look just as tiny in person, as you do in the photos I've seen of you.”

 

“You've seen pictures of me?” Rin asked eyes wide.

 

He took time to smirk before answering “Sango showed the whole family pictures of all her friends here in Tokyo, as far as my height goes, I guess you could say I've had a growth spurt. I grew almost three inches in the last year.”

 

He left out of his explanation that she in particular, stood out in those photographs Sango showed him and the rest of the family. He recalled looking at them, admiring the teeny girl's beauty and her mysterious expressions she seemed to have in every photo.

 

Kohaku was now finally meeting the infamous `Rin' he'd heard so many stories about from his older sister. She was just as beautiful in person as she was in the photographs he'd seen. He took in her appearance, soaking it up. She was wearing black, one-piece, halter-styled romper. It was made of soft cotton, perfect for the summer heat. It showed a lot of lightly bronzed skin and Kohaku had to concentrate not to drool. Her outfit demonstrated that even though Rin was a petite beauty; she still had a proportionate figure many would envy. Right above the v-neck of her low neckline Rin was wearing a dainty and delicate silver chain, looped on the necklace was a small ruby encrusted cherry that sparkled.

 

It took effort not to stare, Kohaku didn't want to get caught staring at the charm and have it mistaken for her enticing cleavage, although that was worthy of staring at.

 

Kohaku took a step closer to Rin, causing her to crane her head up in order keep the eye contact established.

 

“Three inches in one year? Wow…” She said.

 

Kohaku smiled, shaking his head in silent agreement.

 

“Well I guess we should get you to Sango's place so you can put your bags away. She had to work so she asked me to pick you up here at the station.”

 

Kohaku nodded his understanding “Sango told me yesterday when she called home.”

“Okay cool, well sorry to say I don't have a car so we'll have to take the bus, I hope that's okay with you.” Rin said.

 

“No problem, I prefer public transportation,” he happily responded as they began walking towards the exit of the station.

 

Rin inwardly perked up, “Really? Me too, honestly I don't ever plan on buying a car or even learning how to drive truthfully.”

 

“Yeah, who needs one when there's the shinkansen?” Kohaku agree with his tiny escort.

 

“Speaking of the bullet train how was the ride here from Osaka?” Rin politely inquired.

 

“Pretty much uneventful, thank goodness for my PSP or I would have gotten so bored I probably would have fallen asleep and missed the station,” he joked.

 

A small giggle escaped Rin; he definitely had her complete attention now. Unfortunately for her, he happened to capture her attention right as they approached a downward step. Currently memorized by her companion the step went unnoticed until she already lost her footing and was on her way down to the hard concrete of the station's dirty concrete floor.

 

With her cute face just inches away from making contact with the hard ground, she was caught in Kohaku's embrace. Her savior had a secure grip, his hands wrapped around her small feminine waist.

 

“Gotcha! You okay? That was a close call.”

 

She didn't answer, and Kohaku became concerned, he didn't let go of his hold on her and slowly shifted her carefully turning her in his arms so he could look into her eyes.

 

He asked again, this time his voice soft and sincere “you okay?”

 

Not speaking Rin just gazed into his warm brown eyes and slowly nodded.

 

If this was one of her josei mangas that she secretly read in private, this would have been the part where he would have effortlessly lifted her small fame closer to himself and dramatically close his eyes and attempt to lose the space separating theirs lips. She felt weightless, and wasn't because Kohaku was currently supporting all of it. It was something unreal to her. This feeling, what was it? Was there a force that laid on the wind silently listening to young, lonely girl's prayers?

 

Not wanting to take a risk, but at the same time she couldn't ignore how silly she was being, Rin mentally smile brightly, while thinking `thank you Kami!'

 

Walking from the bus stop to Sango and Kikyo's apartment was enjoyable. Rin found out that Kohaku and she had similar interests; they both liked the same videogames, the same type of books, music and both made great grades.

 

“What do you plan on majoring in once you start University of Tokyo?” Rin asked furthering the act of getting to know Kohaku.

 

“I was considering molecular and cellular biosciences, how bout you? What are you majoring in?” he answered.

 

Rin's heart did a flip and then a flop in her chest at the sound of his answer. She couldn't help smiling.

 

“Linguistics” She replied with the smile still planted on her face.

 

“Ahh language huh?”

 

“Yep, so many languages are dying out, I want learn as much as I can before that happens. It's such an important element of how we've become the society we are today.” She answered.

 

“I can appreciate that,” Kohaku stated with enthusiasm.

 

Rin suddenly felt…shy, a strange emotion for her. She took a breath and slowly and inconspicuously let it out.

 

They reached Sango and Kikyo's apartment building and Rin pointed it out to Kohaku.

 

Walking up the stairs Rin went over to the dead bamboo plant and lifted the pot up to retrieve the spare key hidden under it.

 

“Haha! That's where we keep our spare back down in Osaka, but our bamboo tree isn't dead.”

 

They both shared a laugh.

 

Opening the apartment they walked inside, Kohaku was grateful to rid himself of the two heavy duffel bags.

 

“So…” Rin asked, “…When's your campus tour?”

 

“It's tomorrow afternoon, when does Sango get home from work? Do you know?”

 

“I think around 4:30 tonight” she answered.

 

“Well I guess I have time to kill.”

 

“Yeah…” Rin responded mildly disappointed, she didn't want to separate just yet.

 

“I might take a nap on Sango's unbelievably tacky sofa here, by the way don't tell the girls a said their sofa is tacky, even though it is.” He said while gesturing to the obnoxiously purple couch.

 

That earn a laugh from Rin, and Kohaku couldn't wait to here it again.

 

“I know you must be tired, but maybe you would like to go to the university with me? I could give you `Rin's unofficial campus tour' if you like.”

 

“Osaka is only two and a half hours away from Tokyo Rin, I'm a tough guy, I think I'll last without my afternoon nap today, and I would love to take your unofficial tour.”

 

“Cool, I can show you around and then we can go to my dorm if you like and grab something to eat, well I pretty much only have ramen and beer, so we might have to go to the cafeteria or something, but I have a PS3 in my dorm!” Rin was getting excited.

 

“Ramen and beer huh?” Kohaku stated.

 

“Oh um…yeah.” She felt the beginnings of a blush, then chastised herself in the same instant for be so flaky.

 

`What is wrong with me?' She just couldn't seem to get a grip on herself.

 

“A girl trying to steal my own heart huh?”

 

Rin lost the internal battle and turned a full fledge red.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*All I can say is better late then never? Summer classes have ended; I'll have more time. Currently working on the next chapter, till then…{Take care.}*
