Chapter 10: Feelings or not

*** (Kiri and Sesshoumaru) ***

Rin and Kiri were in the garden playing a new game Kiri taught called tag. Kiri was it and having a hard time catching the little human girl. Rin was on her way running to a tree to hide when she saw Sesshoumaru standing in the door way of the garden and changed her course of running straight into Sesshoumaru's leg. Kiri saw this and decided to walk over. "It's like she's on a constant sugar high, she never stops" Kiri breathed out still panting from chasing Rin.

"Does Lord Sesshoumaru want to play with Rin and Mommy?"

"I do not play such childish games" Sesshoumaru answered. He patted Rin on the head and walked over to the cherry tree by the pond and sat down leaning against the tree.

It has been two weeks since Kiri decided to stay. Every day when Kiri and Rin would play in the garden Sesshoumaru would come out and watch them play, well…mainly watch Kiri play. Often Sesshoumaru would start some kind of argument with Kiri, he always enjoyed arguing with her. Rin never called Kiri Kiri anymore, it was always mommy.

Sesshoumaru watched as Kiri ran around a tree chasing Rin, once Rin was caught it ended up with them rolling on the ground and Rin being tickled. "Stop mommy that tickles" Rin laughed

"Do you ever stop acting like a child?" Sesshoumaru interrupted the tickling session.

Kiri stopped tickling Rin to look up at Sesshoumaru who was leaning over the group. "Well for your information FLUFFY this happens to be fun"

"Must you call me by that ridiculous name?"

"Must you be so rude?" Kiri shot back as she stood up to walk off "come on Rin lets go find somewhere else to play"

"Ok mommy" both Kiri and Rin were walking in the garden when Kiri turned around to face Sesshoumaru who was a good five feet behind.

"What are you doing?" Kiri yelled at the youkai

"Following you" he calmly stated as if pointing out the obvious

"It looks more like your stalking me"

"What ever you want to call it"

"You are so annoying!" Kiri gave up and continued walking. After following and basically flat out bugging Kiri Sesshoumaru decided to go to his study to see if he can get some type of work done.

Later that night Kiri was finally able to get Rin to go to bed "I swear that kid never sleeps. She acts like she's on a constant sugar high" Kiri thought out loud "I cant keep up with that girl…I got it s bath will help" Kiri went to her room so she can gather her things and went on her way to the bath.

Once Kiri got to the doors where the hot spring was she slowly pushed the two double doors to revile a huge room with a large hot spring in the middle. She walked over to the edge of the hot spring and slipped off her kimono, folded it then slipped into the hot water. The moment she touched the water her muscles relaxed "This is great" Kiri announced to herself.

`Why am I here? I can't be here just for Rin can I?...i'm not here because of Sesshoumaru an I?, But then if I'm not here because of Sesshoumaru what could the reason be?...could I love him?..." Kiri was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of moving water. She opened her eyes to see Sesshoumaru sitting on the other sid of the hot spring. Kiri quickly brought her arms up covering her chest.

"What the HELL are you doing here?" Kiri screamed

"What do you mean what am I doing here? I was here first so I should be asking you that question" Sesshoumaru replied smoothy "Even though you are a half-breed I would have expected you at least expected you to notice my presence"

"Well excuse me for bring distracted… I will leave since you were her first" Kiri turned to leave when she bumped into something. She looked up to see Sesshoumaru standing in her way. Blushing Kiri turned around so her back was facing him so he could not see her blushing.

"Why did you decide to stay here?" Sesshoumaru asked breaking the silence.

"To take care of Rin" Kiri responded a little too quickly. When Kiri said this Sesshoumaru's heart fell. He could admit to himself that he loved her but not to any one else, not even Kiri. "Why would you have let me go if I said no?"

"You wouldn't have had a choice in the matter, Rin need a mother and you were here first"

"So I don't mean anything to you at all, I'm just something to care for Rin?"

"Of course you are only a half-breed there is no other use for you" Sesshoumaru stated coldly.

Ever word hit Kiri in the heart like a bullet especially the last seven words, they hit her the most causing her heart to shatter. "That what I thought, I was a fool to think that you would have any type of feelings, you know you can be such a jerk" Kiri walked over to the edge, grabbed a towel to wrap around her, got her clothes and headed for the door but not with out saying one last thing "I hate you" and slammed the doors closed. Kiri walked back to her room repeating "I wont cry, I wont cry, I swore I would never cry again" All the way to her room she repeated this to herself.

Back at the hot spring Sesshoumaru was still standing in the water thinking over what just happened in the last ten minutes. "How could I be so stupid?" Sesshoumaru yelled slamming his fist down on a large rock causing it to break. He slowly crept out of the water to dry himself off. Once done her started towards his room but not with out stopping by Kiri's room. He didn't walk in but he stood there to see if he could hear her crying. He herd nothing. After a little debate on weather he should go in or not he decided to keep on walking to his room.
