Chapter 1: His Birthday
-Rin's Perspective-
It was a glorious day today in Tokyo. The sun caressed my light milk-like skin with its shine. The wind blew through the city softly, my dark-brown hair danced with the wind. I rode my bike to Sango's Flower Boutique. I put my bike outside the shop and I ran in quick. I looked through the flowers as Miroku, Sango's husband, greeted me kindly.
"Good Morning Rin! What brings you to the shop today?" I looked through the roses as he greeted me. I looked up at him, smiling, and responded, "I'm just looking Miroku-san". He nodded and started watering the flowers on the other side.
I skimmed through the roses, trying to decide which one to give to my loved one. My Sesshomaru. What started out as a simple love affair has aggrandized. We love each other deeply. We long for each other's touch.
I dress strangely too. Like today I'm dressed in a white tank-top splattered with paint and overalls that reach to my waist with paint-stains all over them. I'm wearing my hair up in a messy bun with paint brushes in them, and I'm wearing black converse with white laces and a heart-shaped locket with his picture in it.
As I skimmed through the roses, I spotted the perfect rose for him. A white-beige rose with specks of red. His hair was silver-light. His eyes, a hazel gold. His skin was like milk. He has beautiful markings on his face like the rose.
I grabbed the rose and took it over to Miroku. I grabbed one of the note cards he had in the front.
"Could you deliver this to someone for me Miroku-san?" I asked him as I took out my wallet to pay him.
Miroku-san looked at me in disbelief and he said in a concerned voice, "Rin, forgive me, but I can't deliver just one rose. It needs to be a bouquet." I pleaded to him by staring at him with my light-brown puppy-dog eyes, "Please Miroku-san? Its his birthday… please?"
He looked at me and sighed. He gave in and told me, "Alright Rin. I'll have my delivery boy send to him. Oh and we are talking about your man right? The doctor?" I giggle and smile and nod. "Yes, it's him." I said as I wrote on the note card I grabbed earlier. "Thank you Miroku-san." I said smiling as I handed him the money and note-card.
I looked down at my watch and gasped as I ran out the store and yelled thank you to Miroku-san again. I jumped on my bike and as I did, I looked back to see the delivery boy holding Sesshomaru's rose. I rode off to school after as fast as I could, if not I would have been late.
I feel so exultant today. Sesshomaru was going to love my present. And tomorrow-night we'll spend the night together at a party and drive back together. I can't wait. All my friends, especially my closes friend, Kagome, knows about him. He's a cardiologist and has his own office facility where multiple people go to see him everyday.
My poor Sesshomaru. He works so hard but he saves so many lives.
He saved me.
He saved me from living a lonely life without anyone to love. I already lost my mother, father and brother long ago. I wasn't going to lose Sesshomaru.
I love him more than life itself. I know I'm only 19 and he's 32 years old, but we fell in love completely.
After riding my back through to town to get to my university, I finally arrived and by now the delivery boy was already there at his office.
I locked my bike on the bike rack and I ran to my class as fast as I could. I opened the classroom door and I was presented with a naked man modeling in the middle of the students and all the rest of the students were at their canvases, ready to draw and now staring at me. I walked over to my canvas, took out my graphite materials and we all started drawing away.
-At Sesshomaru's office-
At the office, Sesshomaru finished speaking to a regular patient of his and he let her out the door.
As he let that patient out, the delivery boy ran in and he said to him, "Dr. Sesshomaru! I have a delivery from your special girl."
Sesshomaru stared at the rose and grabbed it while sniffing the lovely scent of the rose. He smiled softly and nodded to the delivery boy and took out a small amount of money and tipped him. "Thank you very much". The delivery boy nodded and went on his way.
Sesshomaru stood at the door and grabbed the note card that was attached to it. He opened it up and read it, "Happy birthday my love. Your golden eyes mesmerize me. Your voice, so deep, it sensuates me. I long for your arms to wrap around me while you kiss me passionately with your beautiful soft lips as we make-love. I love you."
He smiled at Rin's note and was completely mesmerized by her words. He gained his composure and called another patient, a regular of his, Kikyo, into his office.
