Rin opened her eyes and tried to think of what the sound was.

 

“Are you gonna answer the phone,” Sesshoumaru asked from beside her(No they didn't do that they just slept in the same bed) Rin got out of bed and walked over to the telephone.

 

“Hello,” She answered tiredly.

 

“MERRY CHRISTMAS,” came Miroku's voice.

 

“Miroku why are you calling my phone we're in the same house,” She said.

 

“I just wanted to wake you up without going in your room remember im not allowed in any of the girls room without their permission,” He answered. “So anyways come downstairs and we'll open presents,”

 

“Okay,” Rin said yawning.

 

“Also tell Sesshoumaru to come down too,” Miroku said. Rin hung up the phone. She walked over to her bed and shook Sesshoumaru awake.

 

“Get up,” She said still shaking him. Her hand slid off his shoulder causing her to fall on him. He opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around her. “Merry Christmas,”

 

“Merry Christmas,” He answered softly kissing her. Rin got off him and went over to her closet to get the presents. Sesshoumaru walked out of her room to go get his.

 

Rin came down stairs with all her presents. Sesshoumaru helping her. Rin saw everyone already there. Rin sat all her stuff in the middle and went to sit on the coffee table. Sesshoumaru sat on the floor leaning on the coffee table. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down to sit on the floor.

Rin hugged him.

 

The door bell rang. Rin got up and walked over to it. She opened the door to reveal Naraku standing there smiling an evil smile.

 

“Hi,” Rin said politely but she was kinda wishing he would leave.

 

“I wont take long I can see that you guys are celebrating I just wanted to give you your present,” He said handing her a box. Rin opened it to see a blues Safire necklace.

 

“Omgod it's beautiful,” Rin said staring at it.

 

“Well a beautiful necklace for a beautiful girl,” Naraku said turning and walking away.

 

Rin walked back over to the couches and showed the necklace to the girls.

 

“Rin you're gonna look beautiful in that,” Kagome said holding it.

 

“Yeah too bad,” Rin said grabbing the box from Kagome and walking over to the trash can.

 

“RIN ARE YOU CRAZY,” Ayame yelled. “You cant throw a necklace like that away,”

 

“Why not,” Rin asked. “He's just trying to bribe me into going out with him again.”

 

“Who cares that necklace must have cost a lot of money and it will crush him to know that you threw it away,” Kagome said. Rin looked at it and ran up stairs. Sesshoumaru followed her. Rin was looking around the room when he came up.

 

“What are you doing,” He asked.

 

“Im looking for a place for this,” She said. She looked at her trunk. “I guess that'll do,” She said opening it and throwing the box in side of it.

 

“Did you love him,” Sesshoumaru asked suddenly. Rin turned and looked at him. He looked her in the eyes. “Well did you love him,” Rin sighed and walked closer to Sesshoumaru.

 

“I thought I did but I turned out that I didn't,” Rin said.

 

“Did you two have sex,” He asked.

 

“Yes,” She answered looking him in the eye. “He was my first and there isn't a day on this earth that I don't regret my decision to trust him.”

 

“If you two were still together would you love him,” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“If I was still dating him and all this stuff still happened you mean,” She asked. He nodded. “We wouldn't be together if all this stuff still happened,”

 

“Why,”

 

“Because when things get hard or tough and you need someone Naraku wont be there he would have left long before you actually admitted that you need some reinsurance,” She answered, “Plus we wouldn't be together cause I'd have you.”

 

“Well you got a point there I'm mean you were attracted to me from the beginning,” He said smiling and kissing her.

 

“Normally I would say you're wrong,” she said looking at him smiling, “But when you're right there's no denying I was attracted to you from the beginning,” She said kissing him. “Just like you were attracted to me,”

 

“Yeah when you entered the auditorium although no one else noticed to me you were just shining,” He said, “And to me no one else in the world would ever be able to measure up to your beauty, your smile, your laugh, your eyes everything was perfect to me in that first moment that I met you, and then the way you tried to make everyone get along,”

 

“Yeah right,”

 

“No seriously, everything I thought that love was changed when I saw you, heard you, looked into your eyes, and received that smile from you,” He said looking her dead in the eyes.

 

“Oh well at first I had a little crush on you, and I sort of thought you were full of it and only cared for yourself,” She responded.

 

“Oh really,” Sesshoumaru answered picking her up by the waist. “How am I now?”

 

“Oh you're still full of it,” She said as he put her down she started running, but he wrapped his arms around her from behind and lifted her. She started to struggle and laugh. He turned her around in his arms and looked at her, she started to calm down and continue, “But that day when we all first had lunch together and I had stormed off and you came after me and insulted me, I realized after I slapped you that you in your own strange way was just trying to look out for me so I didn't look like a fool on stage, but now you're not as cold hearted as before you seem to care about someone other than yourself,”

 

“Gee I wonder who that is,” He said sarcastically putting her down.

 

“Who is it,” Rin said. Sesshoumaru laughed, but then he realized that rin seriously didn't know.

 

“Rin, It's you, you're the one person I care about most in the world and day after day if feel even more vulnerable,” He said. Rin lowered her head in shame. Sesshoumaru tilted her chin up to look at him, “But I'd rather feel vulnerable loving you then live a whole lifetime without ever meeting you,”

 

“I guess that song really does describe us,” Rin said holding back tears.

 

“What song,”

 

“If I never knew you,” Rin said. Sesshoumaru pulled her in for a hug. Rin was still trying to hold back her tears.

 

“I love you Rin,” Sesshoumaru whispered proudly in her ear hugging her closer.

 

“I love you too Sesshoumaru,” Rin said finally letting her tears fall down her face, and smiling.

 

“That so sweet,”

 

“Come on miroku don't tell me that you're crying,”

 

“Why wouldn't he inuyasha it's so beautiful,”

 

“Not you too koga,”

 

“Inuyasha they're right it the sweetest thing I've ever seen,”

 

“Am I the only one who isn't crying?”

 

“Well other than Sesshoumaru whose blushing, yeah you are the only one not crying now shut up,”

 

Rin and Sesshoumaru looked at the direction that the voices were coming from. Their friends were all pilling in the door way. Five out of six of them were crying. Sango had her hand on her cheek. Ayame was leaning on Koga's shoulder. Koga had his arm around Ayame's shoulder and he had tear drops slowly coming down his face. Miroku was fake sobbing into Sango's shoulder. Kagome was hugging Inuyasha crying. And unknown to everyone but Inuyasha. Carmen was behind them crying as well. Rin started blushing.

 

“Rin that was the cutest thing I've seen,” Carmen said running over to rin and hugging her. “Rin I hate to ruin the moment but it's time to go and as a present I came to get you,”

 

Rin nodded and walked to her bathroom. She wiped her eyes and reapplied her makeup. And straightened out her hair. She walked out of the bathroom to find Sesshoumaru waiting for her. She walked over to him, and was surprised when he lifted her up and spun her around. He stopped and kissed her. Rin's heart was doing back flips. He pulled away and looked at her. She smiled at him and whispered, “I love you,”

 

“I love you too,” He whispered back setting her back down on the ground and wrapping his arm around her shoulders as they walked downstairs. They saw everyone walking out of the door. And started to walk faster.

 

“Okay rin these are the songs that we're going to be doing so if you want you can go get in the booth,” Carmen said when they got there. Rin nodded and walked into the room and put the earphones on. “You ready,” Rin gave her thumbs up.

 

"Shadow"

I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door

Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me

All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity

So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me-

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past is in the past

I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
So don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me

Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day

 

“Okay rin next song,”

 

Catch me when I fall

 

Is anybody out there
Does anybody see
That when the lights are off something's killing me

I know it seems like people care
Cause they're always around me
But when the day is done and everybody runs

Who will be the one to save me from myself
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl
Who's gonna catch me when I fall

When the show is over
And it's empty everywhere
It's hard to face going back alone
So I walk around the city
Anything, anything to clear my head
I've got nowhere to go nowhere but home

Who will be the one to save me from myself
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl
Who's gonna catch me when I fall

It may seem I have everything
But everything means nothing
When the ride that you've been on
That you're coming off
Leaves you feeling lost

Is anybody out there
Does anybody see
That sometimes loneliness is just a part of me

Who will be the one to save me from myself?
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall
And not ashamed to see me crawl?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

 

“Okay next song,”

 

Say goodbye

 

You don't know me
Like you knew me
You stopped listening
The moment that I needed you the most
You can't see me
Like you saw me
Truth comes easy
But it's hard for you to pull me from the ground

[Chorus:]
So I scream, scream cause it hurts
Your every word
Cuts me inside and leaves me worse
There's no way back
And what if there was
You'd still be you and
I'd still need to say goodbye

Maybe you don't
Love me
Like I love you baby
Cause the broken in you doesn't make me run
There is beauty
In the dark side
I'm not frightened
Without it I could never feel the sun

[Chorus]

So I scream, scream cause it hurts
Your every word
Cuts me inside and leaves me worse
There's no way back
And what if there was
You'd still be you and
I'd still need to say goodbye


Nothing will ever change no matter what you say
I'm still gonna be the same
The harder we try, the harder that we fight, can't get it right

[Chorus]

So I scream, scream cause it hurts
Your every word
Cuts me inside and leaves me worse
There's no way back
And what if there was
You'd still be you and
I'd still need to say goodbye

Say goodbye.. Say goodbye.. Say goodbye

 

“Last song rin I'm sorry I forgot to tell you we were doing 4 songs,”

 

How strong do you think I am

 

If I don't cry, Do you think I don't feel?
If I look away, it doesn't mean I don't see,
And just because I want someone when I'm alone,
Doesn't mean I'm helpless,
That I can't stand on my own.

How far can we go before we break?
How long can I wait?

How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong how strong, how strong do you think I am?

It's so hard to tell,
What's in your heart,
What you keep to yourself,
Is tearing me apart,
And should I be afraid,
To dream about you?
And if you feel the same,
Watcha you going to do?

How far can we go before we break?
How long can I wait?

How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong how strong, how strong do you think I am?

If I move in any closer,
If you let go and give yourself away,
and if we let this happen to us,
Everything will change.

How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong how strong, how strong,
How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong how strong, how strong,
How strong, how strong, do you think I am?

 

“Wonderful Rin come on in and well call it a day,” Carmen said. Rin walked out of the booth. Sesshoumaru walked over to her and gave her a kiss.

 

“Come on I'm taking us out,” He said proudly.

 

“Too bad it's Christmas and nothings open,” Rin said.

 

“Okay then I'm taking everyone home and you're going to cook for us,” Sesshoumaru said. Rin hit him on his arm.

 

“Come on you too well go out tomorrow tonight we're going to have a Xbox tournament,” Inuyasha said. The Sango and Kagome groaned. “And you all can thank rin for providing the Xbox,”

 

Kagome and Sango sent glares in rin's direction but she shook it off and walked after the guys who were talking about the games their going to play.
