Hello, fellow readers, well I finally decided to update this writing project up to public viewing/reading entertainment. This idea is created to make different variety of one-shots or mini stories however you would prefer to call them focusing on Romance in general relationships. I will also tend to add some tragedy mini stories from time to time. I guess this is sort of like a collection arc for everyone's enjoyment. Enjoy reading and don't forget to please Read and Review the chapter, to tell me your thoughts about the story. My first one-shot series is dedicated to one of my reviewer, for her hardcore support by reviewing wonderful comments in all my stories. This is a gift for Mistress Ayako.

She tapped her high heel shoe on the brown sand feeling irritation climb up her back. The black ominous clouds above her head gave the initiative that a rain storm was heading this way. Where is he?
Why did I agree to go out with Samuel again? I should have known he was up to no good taking me out of town like that. I need to remind myself to never have my boyfriend- now my current Ex boyfriend- ditch me in the middle of nowhere, in an isolated roadway, after breaking up with him. Her train of thought was cut off as thunder rumbled loudly in the area causing her to shiver.
Rin's green hazel eyes shone in happiness, as she recognized a familiar car that belonged to her best friend. It came to a stop only a few feet away from her standing figure. Feeling the start of raindrops falling down from the sky, she hurried to enter the Corvette GT vehicle.
"Thank you for coming to pick me up, Sesshomaru." Rin gratefully thanked the owner of the car. She knew him well enough to know that he drove 65 kilometers per hour."No problem. Be grateful, I even bothered to come 'rescue you'." The full-fledged dog demon said. "Sorry." Rin manage to say before biting her lower lip. His posture's so tense... Did his business trip with his co-partner not go well for his father's company?
"How did your business trip go?" Rin asked as she played with the seat belt. "It didn't go that great." Sesshomaru replied back his attention on the road. "Do you want to talk about it?" Rin asked. "It's best if we don't touch that conversation." He replied back. "What do you want to talk about, then?" Rin asked.
She didn't receive a reply to her question. I guess he doesn't want to talk with me, right now.
The trip down the empty highway was true boredom as Rin watched the wipers clear up the rain pouring down on the car's window shield. The light electronic music playing on the radio was causing Rin to fall asleep and she didn't like that. -I fell asleep in Samuel's car and he took benefit of that to drive me, who knows how many hours away from my house. Rin thought vaguely. Sleeping on a car seat also caused her back to ache afterwards; she really didn't want her shoulders feeling like if they were carrying lead and metal, again.
"What is this? I thought you were taking me home!" Rin whispered to Sesshomaru as he parked outside the Embassy's Suite Hotel.
"This is a heavy storm for us to be driving in the highway. Beside's your house is still six hours away from here." Sesshomaru explained. The doors of the car unlocked as they both got out of the car. They were under the protection of the roof's drive opening.
He's right, that's too far away to travel in with this heavy rainstorm. I guess I can't really complain.
"I'm going to go park the car, properly. Can you order separate rooms for us?" Sesshomaru asked as he handed Rin his Visa credit card.
Rin pouted before glancing away from the rainstorm. "Okay, do you want me to take your suitcase with me?" she said.
"It's in the backseat of the car." Sesshomaru replied back, calmly. He got back inside the car and started it up again. Rin sighed before opening the backdoor and taking out the medium suitcase he used to take for his business trip. I guess I can take that as a yes. He can be so unreasonable at times like this.
Rin stepped inside the building and walked up to the front attendant desk. She greeted the middle age woman who had a smile on her face. She talked with the lady about staying the night here and estimating the price for the rooms. "Would you like the rooms to be separate or next to each other?" The lady asked politely.
"Umm, I think I'll take a single suite room, instead. Is there any available room by any chance?" Rin said changing her mind about wasting Sesshomaru's money for two rooms. They were only staying for tonight, after all. She never did like using some else's money.
"Yes, there is a room available. It's on the top floor." She said looking over her computer and papers.
"I'll take it, then. I'll be paying with credit." Rin said tapping the visa card earnestly over the countertop. Hopefully Sesshomaru won't be too molested by the new arrangements.
"The room only has one bed, though. Do you wish to still change the prior arrangements?" The lady asked her client. "Ah, yes that's fine with me." Rin said curling her hair around her index finger.
Sesshomaru walked inside the lobby carrying his laptop bag. He was soon standing next to Rin, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Is everything going alright?" he asked.
"Of course, I ordered a room for the both of us to share." Rin said with a smile as she placed a hand on top of his own. The lady stared at them wearily, before handing back the credit card to Rin. "I'll need the signature of Mr. Williams." She said pointing to the receipt with a pen.
"Of course," he said giving a quick glare at Rin for her impudence in changing the sleeping arrangements. The woman was probably thinking dirty thoughts inside her small brain. He was a young looking demon, but was known to be much older than Rin's age.
Rin giggled and smiled at the lady, "We eloped because my daddy is very strict with me. Don't we make a cute couple?" She said with a teasing smile.
"o-of course," the woman replied back wearing a fake smile on her lips.
"Rin," Sesshomaru said in a cold tone. Quit messing around. He said silently with his piercing stare.
Both individuals boarded the elevator making sure to press the sixth floor button that would lead them to their paid room.
"What was that, back there?" Sesshomaru asked as the elevator traveled up the floors. "I was just having some fun. Stop being such a fun-sucker, Sesshomaru." Rin said with a pout.
"Hn, whatever," He responded back.
"Rin, what happened this time? Why was I forced to pick you up in that stranded road." he asked, breaking the silence. Rin attempted a smile his way, glad that he was showing a little bit of kindness.
"Well, I accepted an invitation to go out with my ex-boyfriend, but he only took me way out here so he could take advantage of me. I got really mad with Samuel for lying to me. I then got out of the car and rejected to climb back inside. Eventually, he ended up ditching me there." Rin answered, her eyes shining with hidden fire of rage. I wasn't about to go have sex with him inside that car. We barely knew each other for a few weeks, for crying out loud.
"I see," he responded back. He was a bit disturbed to find that out, but decided to not comment about it.
"Hey Sesshomaru, don't you think they should promote J-Pop music inside the elevators, instead of these crappy tuneless musicals?" Rin stated with pride of thinking up of the idea.
"I think that idea is already being used in other countries." Sesshomaru contradicted. He wasn't trying to be rude just truthful.
"Meany!" Rin exclaimed childishly. She was thinking about throwing a raspberry in his direction, but decided to calm down her hyper fuel. She didn't want the cameras around the hotel to film her acting silly.
Rin wrapped her arm around Sesshomaru's nearby arm. Her height was small compare to his tall height. Rin silently stared at his handsome features from her peripheral view. I want to see his smile Rin thought pensively as her heartbeat increased speed remembering a memory. Her heartbeat didn't go unnoticed by Sesshomaru.
"Have you already informed your parents that you won't be arriving home, tonight?" He asked, ignoring the tension between them. Rin's body couldn't lie to him even if he wanted it to.
"Yes, they know I was going to be taking a ride back home with you. Dad didn't like the idea of Samuel taking me out of town without his permission. He's probably going to fire him when he shows up to work on Monday. Besides, my father trusts you to not tarnish his precious daughter." Rin said releasing his arm and walking to stand in front of him.
"I'll call them right now and tell them that we'll be staying in a hotel. Of course, I'll also just tell daddy we got separate rooms." Rin said taking out her cell phone.
"Rin, this wasn't such a good idea after all. Don't you think you went too far with having us share the same room," Sesshomaru said staring down at his best friend. Rin titled her head and leaned forward pressing a tender kiss on his cheek.
Sesshomaru lifted a hand to caress her cheek that caused the girl to blush. Why is it so hard for me to stop temptation?
He leaned forward to place a kiss on her lips, but her index finger separated their lips from touching. "The fun's over." She whispered, before the elevator doors opened. It was time to enter back to reality. At least for the moment, while Rin made the phone call to her daddy.
"I get dibs on the shower!" Rin exclaimed as Sesshomaru closed the door of the suite room."Enjoy." Sesshomaru muttered, throwing the key card on a nearby table.
He settled his suitcase on top of the bed before taking a seat on the soft, sofa cushion. He sighed, silently, letting his fingers unbutton the buttons from his white shirt and loosening his tie. The sound of water running was heard in the background, as Sesshomaru allowed his tensed muscles to relax.
Ten minutes later, Rin came out of the shower drying her hair with a towel in one hand."Hey, Sesshomaru, can I borrow some of your spare clothes? Mine are all dirty and sweaty." Rin said, as she paraded inside the expensive suite room in nothing, but a wrapped towel hiding her body curves.
"Go ahead." he answered shifting his smart 'glasses' with his index finger as he eyed his half-naked friend. Why does she have to tempt me so much?
"Yay thanks." Rin replied back towards his stoic answer. She comfortably raided his suitcase, before finding a comfortable shirt to wear. Sesshomaru decided to return back to working on writing his report. He also gave Rin her privacy as she dropped the towel to the floor, and changed behind him.
Some time passed between them as Rin watched a television series on the TV propped on top of a chestnut table. She soon grew tired and turned the TV off.
"Sesshomaru, are you going to go to sleep, soon?" Rin questioned as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He said nothing as Sesshomaru silently took notice that she was wearing one of his favorite shirts. Rin rested her head on his shoulder, "You should forget about work and take a vacation, Sesshomaru. You need it." Rin chided softly.
"I don't need the vacations." he replied, closing his laptop after saving his work and shutting the software down."Yes, you do." Rin argued, her breath sending silent shivers of pleasure down his back."Fine, let's go to sleep. We have a long day, tomorrow." Sesshomaru announced, as he pulled softly away from his best friend's embrace.
"Mhh, fine," Rin said, agreeing.
After turning off the lights, Rin walked back to the king size bed and pulled the covers off from the right side, before getting inside. The sound of the rain pattering hard on the outside window was heard making Rin squirm, feeling incommoded. She never did like sleeping during rainstorms.
It didn't take too long to find Rin in the arms of Sesshomaru, as she rested her face on the crook of his neck."Rin," He murmured in the darkness.
"Yes?" she murmured, back.
"Don't forget your goodnight kiss." He whispered softly, letting his fingers caress her waist. Rin allowed her lips to skim his elf-like ear, before whispering." goodnight Sesshomaru,"
She finished saying this as she pressed her soft, round lips against his mouth. The kiss between them felt so incredible to them as if experiencing it for the first time, again.
They didn't really know when it had first started, but indiscreetly they had turned from best friends to lovers. Rin's father doesn't approve of Rin dating older men. Her father had even punished her beforehand to show her that he was serious. Even though Rin loved her father very much, she couldn't help, but go against him and keep this relationship with Sesshomaru a secret. Somehow, they were both prisoners of their own love.
