Love.

Okay, we'll start off by telling the basics; my name is Rin Akira, and I'm 21 years old. I live in Tokyo. I have my own apartment, though it's very small, it's absolutely perfect. I have one dog; but I had to practically beg my landlord to keep him. He's a big, fat, scruffy hound that I took in off the street, who I happened to name Lucky.

I work as a vet and part time author, but not so much as the writer due to my busy schedule; so we'll just stick with vet. I'm usually at the mall; due to the fact my brother; Miroku, works there as the owner, along side his girlfriend; Sango. Well now I'll let you hear my story, I suppose.

The begining.

"Lucky, I'm home!" Yelled Rin as she walked into the front door, dropping her large bag and coat on the wooden bench by the doorway.

Walking to the kitchen she was welcomed by the paws of her obese dog, sending her backwards and making her fall into a heap on the floor. "Lucky, what do you suppose you're doing?" She asked as he simply licked her cheek and whined.

"Yeah, yeah you fat thing, I'll get you some food." Said Rin as she laughed and walked towards the pantry. Pulling out some dog food she refilled his bowl and made sure he had plenty of water before going to find herself something to eat.

Later that night with filled bellies, and sleepy covered faces, Rin crawled up into her bed followed by Lucky, she had taken a warm shower and changed into some comfortable pajamas; and they both drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, the alarm went off, and with many failed attempts Rin finally managed to press the off button while still laying on her stomach; face down into the pillow. Her friends always told her she slept in 'unbreathable' ways.

Walking to the wooden dresser she pulled out what she wore to work, a pair of jeans and a her, 'save an animal' shirt. She had made one in every color; and made it the work force uniforms for the vets office. Today she decided on an orange one and threw it over her head.

With little time to spare she brushed her teeth quickly and brushed her hair into a ponytail; her long hair still reaching below her shoulders. Making sure Lucky had food and water she grabbed her bag and jacket and rushed out to the car. On her way to work she started her day by unsafely checking her text while driving.

You have one new text message.

To:Rin

Hey Rin, it's Sango and I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to that new little café with me and Kagome? It's supposed to be really nice.

Sango

She smiled and called up her brother.

"Hello." She heard the deep voice from the other line.

"Hey Roku; is there anyway you could stop by and feed Lucky after work, I'm going to be busy." She said, still driving.

"Sure thing, but I have to go; I have to open the mall or some very angry people will mob me." He said laughing.

After my quick goodbye I pulled up a new text message and write her back.

To: Sango

Hey Sango, Yeah I'll be able to make it. Pick me up at six.(:

Rin

After a hectic day at work she smiled when she saw Sango and Kagome walk in. "Hey guys ready to go?" While they both smiled and nodded.

When they got in her car they gave her a change of spare clothes so she wouldn't have to go in her work uniform. "You guys really didn't have to," she said smiling as she climbed into the back seat to change.

Now dressed in a yellow sun dress, she slid on some heels to match. "It's been a while since I've been in anything besides jeans," said Rin, stepping out of the now stopped car.

Walking in the three of them sat in a little booth by one of the many windows, and was soon welcomed by a waitress. "Can I start you off by getting you something to drink?" As the woman as she smiled at the three.

After ordering they all started talking about how everything was going; like Sango and Miroku's relationship and the fact that Kagome and Rin didn't... much to there depression. A loud voice broke them out of there conversation though, causing them all to look up.

There stood two men, at the table right next to them. The younger looking one had long black hair and was dressed casually in a pair of jeans and some old rock band shirt, while the older one was dressed in a sensible suit.

When the two noticed them staring, the younger one stood and walked over to a blushing Kagome, sending her a wink; and a "Hey."

"I have to use the bathroom." Replied Sango, giving Rin the look that it was there Que to leave. "And I have to uh… well um… go over there." Said Rin, laughing when she stood up.

Sango and Kagome slapped their foreheads.

Rin walked to the other side of the café and was standing up against the side of the bright blue painted wall, when some disgusting looking man came up to her putting his hands on either side of her.

He reeked from not bathing, his hair was greasy and damaged and his breath stink of liquor.

"Can I help you?" asked Rin, sending him a glare telling him to get the hell out of her personal bubble; only causing him to smirk. "Look, I just want a good time."

Most people must have thought this vile creature was her boyfriend, because no one seemed to even notice the exchange. "Get away from me." she stated loudly, making everyone look her way. The man turned around and came face to face with a large fist.

The man with the suit from the earlier table looked at the unconscious body, then back at her.

"Thank you..." she said, as she smiled at him. When he started walking away from her, Rin walked behind following him; until he finally turned to look at her over his shoulder. "Can I help you?" He asked.

Rin looked at him and smiled again "I just wanted to say maybe I could pay you back someway?" He looked at her with amusement, that didn't really reach his mouth, but shone in his auburn eyes. "How could you possibly pay this Sesshomaru?" He asked in some kind of third person; making her smile.

"Well maybe this Rin can take you to dinner." She asked as she pulled out a peace of paper from her purse and scribbled down her address. Nodding shortly he started walking to the younger man who simply followed causing Rin to call after him, "Tomorrow at seven!" Making the man nod sharply again, without looking at her.

"Oh Rin, how romantic!" Called Kagome, making Rin roll her eyes and laugh. "Let's go." Both Sango and Kagome smiled as they crawled in the car.

After dropping off the girls she went home and took a shower singing her favorite song, badly... and loudly; making her laugh by the end of it.

When she got out she braided her hair so it would be curly in the morning and put on a long t-shirt. Going into the living room, with Lucky on her tail she told him all about her day; not even thinking about the strangeness of the fact she was talking to her dog. By the end of the tail she had fallen asleep lying on the couch, with Lucky curled up at her feet.

She dreamt of auburn eyes.

Across town.

Staring at the small slip of paper, with black scribbling on it; he didn't even pay attention to the stack of unfinished paperwork on the table in front of him. For the first time in his life, Sesshomaru went to bed with unfinished work, and slept.

He dreamt of chocolate brown eyes.

A/N: So tell me what you think! This is actually a story I wrote years ago, and even though it wasn't any good I still like the plot. So I decided to rewrite it! Tell me what you think!(:
