If we kissed?

By Devon Masterson-Bond

Chapter Six

 

AN: Sorry everyone. I was bogged down with school work.

______________________

 

A strange light surrounded her enhancing her features; raven hair, intense dark eyes, and pale skin. Her beauty was apparent despite her tragic facial expression. Desperation and sadness consumed her and the entire room along with a sense of calm.

 

“…I have nothing to live for….” Fell from her lips.

 

Words were spoken to her that only she could hear causing tears to fall. “How I longed to hear that. You're playing with me…”

 

The silent voice spoke again and the raven haired beauty shook her head hysterically. “I don't believe you…it's too late.” She raised a dagger into the air and plunged it into her heart.

 

As she crumpled to the floor an invisible force rushed towards her to hold her tenderly. “I am… not worthy…” she choked out as her last tear fell and her life extinguished.

 

Sesshomaru sat up suddenly on his couch. He had taken a break when his attention no longer focused on work, but did not intend on falling asleep. That dream again! He first had it on the day his father died. It showed up from time to time, fuzzy and disturbing. But this time was different. The dream was greater in detail and he was greatly bothered by the woman's physical similarities to Rin. He could not imagine such a look on the jovial fox's face and Rin would never be so weak and let something bother her to the point of suicide. She was more likely to exact some sort of revenge. Which reminded him… he still owed her for the social.

 

Lilacs filtered into his senses as his thoughts came to life. Rin was in the hallway alone. There was another scent lightly sprinkled; the human. Now he was annoyed with being annoyed. Two weeks ago she never entered his mind now she was all he thought about. He stood to his feet and looked casually at the calendar on his desk. It had been several months since he had been entertained. The mood just had not been there while he was pushing Fire and Ice forward. He would have to rectify that, he fused to be a slave to his libido the way Kenji had become before Kaede. Fine he would have to go off and have some little tryst if it took away the annoyance.

Rin walked into Kenji's office prepared for his latest scheme. Bankotsu went home to take a suggested cold shower since Rin did not trust her brother on this one. What she did not expect was Inu Yasha and true to her nose he was there waiting.

 

“No lover boy?” Ken asked.

 

Rin hissed at him which earned a bigger grin from her brother. “Three to zero, Vixen.”

“What do you two want?” she ground out eyeing the both of them. Inu Yasha's ears flipped downward under her gaze but he managed to keep a stoic face.

 

“Well,” Kenji began taking the reins of the conversation, “Inu Yasha was so heartbroken over upsetting you that he offered himself to me.”

 

Rin's eyes widened as she looked at her best friend. “Are you crazy? Never mind that sounded questionable but…what were you thinking?”

 

“That I wanted my best girl back,” Inu Yasha answered honestly.

 

Brown eyes softened. He used to call her that when they were small. “Now I am all sentimental and you are Kenji's slave.” Ken smirked and Rin shook her head. “He's going to make your life hell.”

 

“Most definitely,” Kenji agreed.

 

“Whatever as long as you're not mad at me anymore.”

 

Rin shook her head. “Kagome threatened you, didn't she?”

 

Inu Yasha crossed his arms. There was no fooling these foxes. “This is between you and me.”

 

“I take that as a yes,” she smirked then turned towards her brother. “I thought so, give him hell Ken.”

 

“Rin,” Inu Yasha growled. He was getting tired of being the butt of this never-ending joke. He screwed up, he got that. There was no need to keep rubbing salt into the wound.

 

“I forgive you,” She sighed launching herself at him, “but you're still a jerk.”

 

“Thanks,” he said sarcastically as he held her. At least one thing was going his way.

 

“So very touching,” Kenji replied. “Now get out of my office, I have work that I need pretend to do.” He pushed them out of the office grinning. “Inu Yasha, I will see you bright and early at eight o'clock with the pastries from that bakery in Sendai I love so much. I have a sweet tooth and it would be great with my lunch tomorrow. They open at five in the morning. Sleep tight.” He closed the door behind them laughing manically.

 

Rin shook her head at Inu Yasha's twitching eyebrow. “I told you never to strike a deal with a fox saying `I'd do anything.' You never learn do you?” She smiled. “Well Kagome's worth it.”

 

“So are you,” he said crossing his arms and mumbling about Kenji being a slave driver.

 

A slight flush crossed her features. “Thanks.”

 

“I was being an ass,” he sniffed then pulled Rin down the hall. “Bank's cool, just don't play around.”

 

Brown eyes narrowed. “Inu Yasha…”

 

Inu Yasha covered her mouth. “Shut up and listen for once. You're a great girl, Rin, but you're not exactly lucky in the love department. I am not saying you are, but don't yank him around if you can avoid it. That's all I'm saying.” He moved his hand away.

 

“What are you in love with him or something?” she asked. “I like him and I want to give him a chance and me a chance.”

 

“I am just looking out for the both of you.”

 

“Thanks,” she kissed him on the cheek. “I'm a big girl now and I have two psychos for brothers already. I just need a friend.”

 

Inu Yasha flushed slightly and hugged her. “Okay enough with the celebrating the moments of our lives and shit. I've got things to do before I bring his bastardness his pastries.”

 

The door opened, “I heard that Inu Yasha. Though it was fairly cleaver, it requires a penalty.” Ken grinned evilly. “I will let you know in the morning.” He shut the door.

 

Rin looked at Inu Yasha. “Yeah. Yeah, I know. I should've known better.”

 

“Don't worry I'll get back for you,” she winked then left.

 

6-6-6

 

Rin smiled as she was lead inside the house by a servant the next morning. She was looking her business best with a three piece pinstripe suit. The skirt stopped just above the knee. A matching jacket and vest completed he ensemble. Wearing only the vest and no top underneath allowed the business suit to transcend to sexy. It was her way.

 

The servant led her to the veranda where breakfast was set up. “Lady Izayoi has asked that you enjoy breakfast. She left note to detail the rest.”

“Thank you, Sae.”

 

Sae smiled then left. Rin sighed and sat down. There was another space set up across from the other two empty ones. “I guess it does get lonely eating alone.”

 

“Only for the sentimental,” Sesshomaru replied walking onto the veranda and sitting down. The dining set was western style with high backed chairs. Lady had fallen in love with it during one of her global excursions.

 

“I imagine that the heartless never notice the difference,” she parried before eating her rice.

 

An eyebrow twitched slightly. Already it was too early in the morning for foxy comments, but last night did not go as planned. He slept alone in his old bedroom after getting disgusted with the selection of ladies for the evening. They were nothing like what he had a taste for and it was pissing him off to no end. To top it off, he started having that dream again. “Shouldn't you be out chasing Lady or something menial?”

 

Rin shook her head. “I am taking care of my body first,” she answered. “And for the record, I don't have to chase after your mommy. I know exactly where she is.”

 

“You are walking a fine tether, fox” he growled.

 

She looked horrified for a second then chuckled, “Please.” She put down her now empty bowl. “You are every bit as attached to Lady as Inu Yasha. I don't know why you try to pretend. Why else would still sleep here when you have your own penthouse.”

 

“Rin,” his tone warned.

 

She stood to her feet looking equally as menacing. “Sesshomaru.”

 

If not for the fact he was trying to be intimidating he would have laughed. It was completely out of her character. She would continue to match him in order to get a rise out of him. It was time for a change in tactics. “Cool off, Rin,” he replied throwing the contents of his glass of water in her face.

 

The fox demon gasped in shock. That was the last thing that she expected him to do. “What the hell?” she sputtered.

 

“I surmised that the quickest way to cool off the hot air that you have been suffering from was to douse you. Now you will be cured for future attacks.” He got up from the table and left the room. That felt good! A slight smirk crossed his features as he opened the door to his bed chamber. An eyebrow rose when the scent of fury reached his nose. He only half expected her to follow him, but was still amused.

 

“Where do you get off…” she snarled.

 

Sesshomaru simply closed the door in her face and walked across the room. He doubted she would go further and he still had to finish preparing to leave.

 

Rin shoved the door open. “You rude, arrogant, bastard! How dare you?”

 

“Leave my personal chambers at once.”

 

Red tint flashed in her eyes as she stalked over to him angrily. She was not letting him get away with treating her like this. “Not until you apologize.”

 

“You will leave now.”

 

“No, I won't. In fact I may just have to move in here,” she smirked seeing the annoyance flash on his face for a moment.

 

“The only females that linger in my quarters are those that make my bed and those who warm it. Which are you to be?”

 

Rin's face blanched. “You asshole,” she spat stepping back.

 

It was clear that she and Kenji inherited Lady's Ausuka's temper. The fox was clearly ready to explode. “You will refrain from using derogatory remarks towards me,” he turned from her and picked up his brief case. “I am sure your human would not approve of such measures. I find it amazing that one moment you are in love with Inu Yasha, the next you are with Bankotsu, and then you are offering yourself to me. I find you lack of discriminatory behavior beneath me…”

 

“First of all,” Rin ground out pointing, “I didn't offer myself to you. I was merely emphasizing that you were going to apologize. Second, what I do and feel is my damn business. Bank and I are dating. Third, I am not a whore and I don't care anything of your approval so shove it up your ass.”

 

“Inu Yasha is clearly rubbing off on you.”

 

Rin's hand cracked soundly across Sesshomaru's cheek. “Don't you ever speak to me that way again or you will see who else is influencing me.”

 

Sesshomaru growled and moved towards her when a wall of fox fire surrounded her then disappeared along with her form. He was annoyed again. She actually caught him off guard and the stinging sensation she left behind told him he had a temporary hand mark. He underestimated her. As angry as she made him, it did nothing for his resolve. He still had lingering thoughts in fact they were stronger having dealt with her ire. “Ridiculous,” he growled before leaving the room.

 

Rin stalked down the hall towards the veranda. She balled her fist in anger ripping open her palms. It had been years since she was this pissed off at someone. Even Ken did not agitate her to this level. Oh he was going to get it!

 

“Rin, what's wrong?” Izayoi asked as she nearly ran into the girl in the hall.

 

“Lady, I am so glad to see you,” she smiled putting her hands behind her back. “I had the greatest idea.'

 

Izayoi smiled. “Oh. I was worried that you have been angry,” she commented knowingly.

 

Rin shook her head. “I'm fine,” was her response. She almost had an angelic way about her. “I was just thinking that Ken maybe on to something with the label. I designed the cover; I may have a talent for business as well. Of course the two sharpest minds I know are Ken and Sess. I would love to study under Ken, but you know how he can get. So I was thinking of studying under Sesshomaru after I finish with you.”

 

“That's a fabulous idea, Rin!” Izayoi clasped her hands together.

 

“I was also thinking I could stay here to be close so I won't miss a thing.”

 

“We would love to have you,” Izayoi smiled and started ticking items off on her hand. “Oh, I have to get everything ready.” She started walking off in another direction then stopped. “Which room would you like, sweetie?”

 

“Can I have the one across from Sesshomaru? Inu Yasha and I can not be in the same vicinity of each other early in the morning, especially these days.”

 

“You are so right. It would be much safer next to Sess, because I am afraid Inu Yasha got his morning temperament from me. This is going to be so much fun having another woman in the house.” Izayoi started down the hall again. Curiosity settled over her. Something happened between those two while she was gone. Rin's top was wet and her wayward stepson was missing. It may be days before she figured out what happened between the two of them. Izayoi passed Sesshomaru as she started towards the west end of the house. A faint handprint graced his features and he looked quite miffed as he walked down the hall with his usual demeanor. “The plot thickens.”

 

“Have a good day, dear.” He nodded curtly and continued onward plotting most likely. “If those two keep this on like this, I am going to need popcorn.”

 

 

 

Teaser For Chapter Seven:

 

Bank kissed on her lightly on the lips. “How was your first day?”

 

Rin sighed, “Ah, that's what I came to see you about. I am going to be Sesshomaru's intern and move in with Lady…”

 

“What?”

 

 

To be continued…
