Making you happier than myself

Chapter 2
Sesshomaru POV

The muggy heat pressed in on them, even sweating was no good. It trickled down their necks and backs like warm soup. Hair clung to their heads like thermal blankets, locking in the heat, frying their brains. The sidewalk was hot enough to fry an English breakfast. It was high noon and the sun beat down with unrestrained brutality, a few withering trees cast patches of pathetic shade onto the baked tarmac. Okay. Okay. I'm hungry and it's scorching hot here. Sitting right in front of chip shop wasn't a good idea in my condition. One, I'm supposed to be hiding. Two, I'm hungry and the smell of the food won't help especially when I don't have money on me. Three, my silver locks are down making it even hotter for me. Finally, there are way too many people in near this chip shop meaning I could be caught very very quickly.

All of a sudden the smell of Jasmine hit my sensitive nose. There is nothing more perfect to me than a Jasmine flower. Five white petals with sunshine yellow in the middle. When I used to rise at five to go to work I trot out into the garden to see them, dew on the petals, caressed by the first light of the new dawn. Their fragrance is like a drug to me. It gives me a high, my brain buzzes happy, serene. Nothing is as magical to me a the flower. I took another whiff of the scent and realized the smell was familiar. It wasn't the one of the actual flower but of someone I met once before. The smell belonged to...the girl from the church.

I looked into the distance and yet again I saw her. She was about 5'6 with black hair which turned into brown as it went further down. Her face was quite small the only thing I can see clearly from here is her wide smile. Yep, it's her. I knew I could trust my nose. She was walking towards me. Oh no. She elegantly took each step towards me. As she took each small steps towards me the smell of jasmine became stronger and stronger. She had curled her dark locks, that always danced in between a black and brown, so that they hung in more waves than curls that could sit atop Shirley temples head. She strode past me and entered the chip shop.


Rin POV

Jack, Koga, Kohaku, Sango, David are sitting in the car while I have to come and get some food. I walked to the chip shop and over to the counter.
"What would you like, Rin?" asked Sunny.
"6 chicken burgers, 2 large pizzas, 3 Cokes, 2 Fantas and a Pepsi." I ordered.
"What would you like on your pizza?" he asked yet again.
"Black Olives, Chicken, Sweetcorn, Pepperoni and Pineapple." I said after I thought for 2 minutes.
"Would you like some salad in the burger? Any sauce?"
"Yes for salad. Mayo and Ketchup please."
"Done. That would be 2163 yen." Sunny said and I handed over the money. "It would take 10 minutes."
Saying that she turned over and I left the shop to wait outside. Next to me sat a man with silver hair looking tired and hungry. His shirt was torn by the arm and it was wrapped by a tie. There are clear wounds and blood on him. This man seriously needs help. Why hasn't anyone helped him yet?
"Ex..."before I could say anything, Sunny called me.
"Rin. Your order is ready." He yelled. I walked over and collected the bags and walked out of the shop again.

"Excuse me." I called over. The person looked up slightly and gold eyes stared at me. "Could you please help me?"
The man stood up. He was about 6'4 and more wounds showed up when he straightened up. He walked towards me and nothing could be scarier than this tall man with silver hair and golden eyes.
"How may I help?" He asked. He saw the shock register on my face before I could hide it. A small smile played on his lips, I guess he gets that a lot. It wasn't what he said though, his words were like vanilla pudding, sweet in their ordinary sort of way, it was the richness of his tones – luxurious and warm. He must be a baritone in church. I'm glad I saw him before I heard his voice.
"Erm...could you help me carry the pizza boxes?" I asked quite scared.
"Sure." He slowly reached forward and grabbed the pizza boxes. I walked ahead and he followed me to the car. Okay, it's scary anymore. I opened the car to reveal my friends messing about in it.

"Who's he, Rin?" They asked.
"A friend." I simply said, I turned to him and offered, "Why don't you join us? You did help us out after all."
He smiled and replied, "That's really kind of you, Rin. I would gladly join you all."
I was surprised he knew my name but I guess Sango gave it away. I looked at the man and titled my head towards the car mentioning him to get in. He obediently got in and I followed the suit and entered the car. Closing the door, I moved to sit next to this man and Kohaku. The men grabbed a burger and munched away silently while Sango looked intensely at the man.
"If you have something to ask me you can, Miss." the man said, finally.
Sango, taken by surprise, quickly asked, "How come you have the cuts, Mister...? What's you name, sorry?"
"I haven't eaten for days so I keep on falling on to stuff."he said. Then he looked away,"Having no where to stay doesn't help either. My name...is whatever you wish."
"How come it's whatever you wish?"asked Koga.
"I guess I rather be called something that people prefer than what I prefer."He explained.
"Oh great we get to pick names! YAY! Ri-chan, you pick." Sango said jumping up and down on her seat.
"Oh ok." I sat and thought. He reminds me of Maru-chan and Yash from when I was little...Maybe even Sesshomaru Taisho... "What about Yamaru?"
"Yep. That's it Yamaru. We could call him Maru for short." She said smiling.
"So Maru-chan, wanna stay at my place since you don't have anywhere to stay?" I asked with a smile.
