If we kissed?

Chapter Five

______________________

 

“Rin, Sweetie, I have been trying to reach you for past week.”

 

The raven haired demon twirled around in shock. She had forgotten she was supposed to call her godmother. How could she have been so irresponsible? In her dodging Inu Yasha and the others she forgot her own commitments. “Oh, Lady, I'm sorry…I…”

 

Izayoi smiled slyly. She may have been disappointed in Rin's selection, but she could not overlook her goddaughter's overall happiness. The glow was apparent when the couple were together at the party. Of course, there was an air jealousy coming from a direction that she did not expect. Sesshomaru's response was quite pleasing. The boy did need some competition. He had to learn that not everything would be offered or easily conquered. It was a shame that both Kenji and Sesshomaru had to learn the same lesson. They were both quite hard headed, but they were her boys. Amazingly enough Inu Yasha was not so thick headed, which gave her a sigh of relief. However he caused her trouble in other ways to make up for it and so did Rin. They were quite a pair, Sesshomaru did not know what he wanted and Rin did not have the confidence to go after him “The life of a mother is never easy.” She just hoped the two of them did not cause too much trouble as they sorted themselves. “Your new beau distracting?”

 

Rin shook her head. “No ma'am, I've…just been thinking.”

 

The older woman leaned and chuckled. “And hiding to hear Kenji and Inu Yasha tell it.” Rin opened her mouth. “No, don't apologize, they probably deserved it. I do know my boys, just like I know my girl.” Izayoi hugged Rin. “Are you happy with this man?”

 

Elegant fingers found the hem of her shirt and played with it as she tuned out the accusatory voice of Inu Yasha in her head. She was not playing with Bankotsu. He really was a nice guy. It was just… “So far.”

 

“Then that's all that matters. Not what I think or them.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

Izayoi smiled. This was going to be a very hard lesson, she could already tell, however, she meant everything that she said. She would not pressure Rin, but she there was still no ring or a mark yet. Gentle persuasion was allowed. “Sweetheart, the reason I wanted to speak with you is I need an attaché. After what happened last week, I need to reorganize my time.”

 

“I'm flattered, Lady.”

 

“No need for that, Rin. It would be part time for a few hours from 8-12. That is when I am my busiest, the rest of the day I should be able to handle. What do you say?”

 

“I'll do it.” It was not like she had a whole lot to do. She was planning on leaving for school in the fall.

 

“Of course I will pay you twenty-five an hour. Will you be able to start tomorrow?”

 

“Bright an early,” she smiled for the first time in a week. It was nice to get out every now and then. Naturally money on her own, outside of her inheritance was good too!

 

“Good, see you tomorrow then,” Izayoi waved and hurried back to the temp that was frantically looking for her. Rin waved.

 

“Hi, beautiful,” Bankotsu greeted.

 

Rin whirled around and hugged him. She really did miss him the past week. Holding up in her room dodging the boys would do that to a girl. “I need to go away from you more often if every time is like this.”

 

“Stupid,” she teased then sobered. “I am glad you could meet me.”

 

“Talking to you on the phone constantly was getting old. I am a man of action.” He pulled her by the hand and joined the general population. Rin had forgotten that she stopped on the sidewalk to Lady. She was grateful for him bring her back to reality. “So what's the big mystery?”

 

“I'm looking for an apartment and as per the boyfriend manual you get the privilege of accompanying me and advising.” She moved closer to him.

 

“Lucky me,” he smirked. “Let's get something to east first.”

 

“I know a place…”

 

“I have somewhere in mind,” he interrupted. “It's a surprise.”

 

“Oh,” she smiled. He is romantic that was highly unexpected. “Wait this isn't some sort of set up is it?”

 

“No. I see no reason to cut Inu Yasha slack if I don't know what he did,” Ban replied.

 

He stopped suddenly. “Do you trust me?”

 

“Yes,” She sighed.

 

Bankotsu started walking again. He did not stop until they reached the fountain in the park. He sat down by the edge and pulled her into his lap. “Okay shoot.”

 

She was speechless for a moment. This was weird yet comforting. At least he was willing to listen, no complaints there. “The short story is Inu Yasha thought I was with you because I was hurt over him and he did not want me to hurt you.”

 

A black eyebrow rose twitched slightly. “Do you want me to kill him?”

 

“No, I might get bored one day,” she joked then sighed. “He was just looking out for you anyway.”

“Not by hurting you,” he replied. “I can take care myself.”

 

Rin cradled his head to her chest. He was cute when he was a little pouty. “I know, but that's not why I'm with you. I want to get to know you.”

 

“You know with my head up against your chest like this I'll agree to just about anything.”

 

Rin laughed. “I'll keep that in mind for when you're mad at me.” she pulled away from him for a moment then kissed him. “Thank you for making me smile and for not running away.”

 

Bankotsu touched her face. “I can think of several ways for you to make it up to me.”

 

“You hang in there with me for awhile and I will,” she whispered.

 

“Oh I am not going anywhere.”

 

“Good.” She stood and pulled him to his feet. “Let's go.”

 

5-5-5

 

Kenji looked out of the window thoughtfully. Rin was still at him and none of her vehicles had moved in the last week. He gave a glance towards the GPS console. None of the usual tricks were going to work this time. Rin actually had an interest in this guy, so she was going to be an able player in this round.

 

As much as he wanted to protect her, he knew he could not do it forever. He hoped Inu Yasha would have taken the subtle him from him. IY was the only male that neither worked for him nor was related to him that spent time with Rin. He even looked the other way when Rin and Inu Yasha kissed the first time and his sister nearly loss her virginity. Quite a bit of furniture lost their lives while he pretended to be oblivious. Fortunately, for his nerves, and unfortunately for his plan she remained intact. She was broken hearted and she cried three months. A happy face for everyone outside of her room, but her pillow knew the truth. Rin even went so far as to spray air freshener and burn incense (which nearly killed them all) in order to cover it up from them. Killing IY was even an option, but he threw it out. That was not his style. It was something Sesshomaru would do (therefore immediate negation).

 

“Vixen, why him? Who knows what he is after...” Kenji turned his head to the door as Inu Yasha burst through the door.

 

“Kenji, you have to make Rin forgive me,” he growled/ whined. IY knew he was desperate seeking the help of the king of perverts for help.

 

“Still in the doghouse,” he chuckled sitting down.

 

Inu Yasha narrowed his eyes. “Ha. Ha. Funny, ass.”

 

“No need for name calling when you're begging,” Kenji grinned. “What's in it for me?”

 

Inu Yasha's eyes widened. “You've got a mate, lech and I'm straight.”

 

A pale blue eyebrow rose slightly. “That is not what I meant,” Ken replied, “though I never knew you to have such a dirty mind, Inu Yasha. Sesshomaru must be adopted.”

 

“Whatever you want, I just need to patch things up with her.”

 

Ken leaned forward. “I know my baby sister means a lot to you, but you should know better than to offer open terms to a fox. There's more to this.”

 

Inu Yasha balled his fist. “So you're telling me you can't even control your own sister? I should've known you weren't that good.”

 

Kenji smirked and shook his head. “Attacking my ego, I am very impressed, but it won't work. I was going to help you anyway, but since you offered yourself to me…. That tells me someone's threatening you. Probably Kagome.” Inu Yasha's ears twitched. Damn fox. A Cheshire grin spread across his face. “I do need an assistant for the next few months while Miroku handles Kagura's career. You'll do nicely, owner of The Lunatic. It'll be worth both our time business wise and I can be amused. Deal?”

 

“If Rin is not talking to me by the end of the day it won't be.” IY growled. He was being used, he knew it, but Rin and Kagome were worth it.

 

“Agreed.” Kenji reached for his cell phone. “Let's see if she's in a good mood.”

 

Across town Rin laid on the floor of her loft. It was perfect and it was all hers. There was nothing that Kenji could do about it. Paid in full with her very own money. “Mine,” she sighed with a smile. Her day was looking up after all.

 

“I am not property you know,” Ban replied lying beside her. “Though sometimes I wish I was your chair.”

 

Rin flushed brightly. “Will you stop it.”

 

“Can't help it,” he replied sitting up. She was looking at him with those wide eyes again and he did not want it to get too tense. Rin. Alone. Vulnerable. Sexy as hell. Him. Horny. He had to give her some time. It was not like she stalked him for the past year waiting for an opportunity. Oh how he wished she had! “What's your plan?”

 

Rin wrinkled her nose. His desire was rolling off of him like a cologne bath. It was amusing that he felt that way but did not act on it. Normally she would create distance to protect herself from turning into some sort of lust driven fiend. That was the real fear Kenji had that was feasible. Being that she was inexperienced, she would mate more on instinct and not be choosy until she learned to curb it. Meditation helped, but archaic nature demanded that she mate. When she was in heat it was en times worse. Normally she spent the five days, every other month, in the garden Ken created for her. She stayed in and lust driven males stayed out. It was not so bad. She could sleep in and catch up on all the television she missed on other days.

 

“I know you want me,” she replied leaning upward. She kissed him deeply. “My plan is that you become my first.”

 

“If that is what you really want…” he pounced her.

 

Chirp!

 

“Rin, my brother senses are tingling answer me now, Vixen, or I will hunt you down and embarrass you a lot more than you already are. Tell him to take a cold shower.”

 

Brown eyes closed and Bankotsu got off of her. Cockblocked again!!! She grabbed her cell phone cursing the two way function on it. “What do you want, Ken?” she growled.

 

“Now, Rin that that type of tone is not sexy, have I taught you nothing,” he teased. “A point for me by the way.”

 

“Get to the point,” she snapped.

 

“Make that two points. Judging by the bite in your voice, I was just in time. Another deflowering attempt foiled by me.” He grinned. “I need you.”

 

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes in the background. “This guy has got to kidding me. She is going to snap his neck when she sees him again. This is who I am trusting my fate to??”

 

“I'm busy.”

 

“I need you here now, Rin,” he said seriously. “Be here in fifteen minutes. Bring him if you must.”

 

Rin glared at her phone. If she did not show up there he would sniff her out and find out about this place too soon. His timing was horrible. “Fine.”

 

“Excellent. You get to keep your hiding spot a secret a while longer and I get my way too,” Kenji replied. His smile widened at her silence. Very little got past him and he knew it was burning her up right now. “See you in fifteen and Vixen, I appreciate you.”

 

“Go to hell, Kenji,” she said in the same patronizing tone he used.

 

“You first, Vixen. I love you.” He folded his hands and smirked at her response a growl. Kenji looked towards Inu Yasha. “You're in luck; she's in a good mood after all.”

 

Inu Yasha sighed inwardly. He was doomed
