To the End of Sorrow
By: Jaylonni Love and Jianna Marie
Chapter 2 - Easier Said Than Done
This chapter was dedicated to my little brother who passed 4.9.2011 due to a heart disease. He was only 1 1/2 years old. I still love you Cameron even though you're no longer with me. - Jaylonni
"If I could be anyone at this moment, I'd be her so you'd love me too."
Rin looked InuYasha dead square in the face, her expression unreadable. She had been around Sesshomaru for way too long.
"It's easier said than done, InuYasha." Rin said after a sigh. "I would tell him if I could."
"Why is it so hard for you to say something to him," Kouga asked quirking an eyebrow. "If you like him then just say it."
"You guys don't understand," Rin said turning back to the window.
"What's she talking about," Miroku asked looking at Sango.
"What she means is that for women telling a guy that you like them is like fighting world war three." Sango said sparing a glance at him. "For guys when you see a girl you like it's natural for you to be able to tell her. For girls it's much harder because we're a.) very timid creatures. b.) very into our feelings. And c.) we're afraid of rejection."
"Now do you get it?" Kagome said glancing over at InuYasha.
"More or less," he said shrugging.
Kagome rolled her eyes then took another bite of her ice cream. Sango sighed then half rolled her eyes to the left so that she couldn't see Miroku. Ayame was looking as passive as ever. Kouga was quiet as ever and Rin just stared out the window.
"Maybe InuYasha is right," Rin thought to herself as she watched the cars zoom by. "Maybe I should just tell him."
A quick almost invisible shake of her head erased that thought in an instant.
"No way in hell am I telling him," Rin thought rolling her eyes. "It's too much on top of that I don't even know how he feels about me and I would feel absolutely retarded if I were to tell him and he shot me down. I think it would be better to just keep my feelings to myself. It would save a lot of heartache."
Rin was brought from her thoughts by a light tap on her shoulder. She turned to see everyone getting ready to leave.
Walking down the crowded streets of downtown Tokyo to the train station, Rin let her thoughts race. Walking in complete silence she suddenly felt tapping on the top of her head. Glancing over she was greeted by long locks of silver hair.
"Hello Rin," Sesshomaru said giving her a small rare smile that only a handful of people had ever seen.
"Hey Sesshomaru," Rin said swatting his hand away from her head. "What are you doing here?"
"Headed home just like you," he said shoving his hands in his pants pockets.
"That doesn't answer my question," Rin said nudging him in his side with her elbow.
It was funny seeing them walk together considering that Sesshomaru was 6'6" and Rin was only 5'3".
"You never asked for a specific answer." he said matter-of-factly.
"Forget I asked," she said stepping through the doors of the train station with him right behind her.
Together they boarded the train and sat together.
"How was the ice cream parlor?" Sesshomaru asked glancing over at her.
"The ice cream was delicious," Rin said smiling. "We should go some time."
"I don't see why not." Sesshomaru said tapping her head again.
"Really what's your fascination with my head Sesshomaru?" Rin asked looking up at him.
"It annoys you," he said simply.
"You are so lucky you're my friend or I'd kick your ass!" Rin said glaring at him.
"Do you know how weird that statement sounds coming from you?" Sesshomaru said earning a soft punch in the arm.
Leaning back she rested her head on the back of the seat and closed her eyes, losing herself in her thoughts.
