DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING...sniffles it's sad i know...but i don't own anything but my laptop.

RE-CAP

'Hmm...i'm really not liking this.' Rin thought to herself closing the book, taking out a piece of paper scribbling a note to her mother signing it Reina. this way the only thing she needed to do was to get dressed the next morning and go heading into the woods. Rin sat the note on the night stand and the book on top of the note.

Chapter 3:

The next morning Rin woke up to a light breeze brushing her cheek. Her eyes slowly opened staring straight at the open window. " I didn't open that window last night...hmmm maybe mom or nana Tsubaki did this morning." Rin mumbled getting out of bed changing into her jeans, a black tang top and her hiking boots. She took the brush through her hair quickly getting all of the knots out before grabbing the diary and heading out. To her suprise everyone was still sleeping, so Rin quietly filled her back pack up with some snacks, a bottle of juice, some water, and tied a jacket around her waist incase she got cold. The note to Rin's mom was placed on the kitchen table as Rin walked out the back door into the forest.

Rin walked along the trail for about 20 minutes before her subconscious pulled her off the trail heading east of the trail deep into the forest. She made sure to mark her trial by tieing a blue ribbon around the branches of the trees that she passed. It seemed like it didn't take her long to reach the clearing. The sun shone bright down upon the meadow. The warm wind blew the wild flowers gently caring the sweet fragrance right to Rin. She stared at the boulders in the middle of the flowers, realizing it was the meadow from her dream. Rin didn't harp on it too much, she just decided to sit on the boulder and get comfortable. She planned on reading more of the journal maybe to understand something unknown to her.

October 16, 1835

Seems like the season changes faster than we are ready for it to. Momma has been sick for a few weeks now...she has influenza. i was told to stay away from her so i don't get it. Poppa is using all the medicine he knows to try to make momma more comfortable. I ran to the meadow today to make my own medicine. i know i am still learning, but something in my head is telling me what i have to do. ' to cure what ales you crushed lavander and jasmine to make a soothing tea.' the voice tells me. i hum a song that i have never heard before but it feels soo right. The vampire hasn't been to the meadow lately. it seems like as soon as he stops showing up to my secret meadow...bad things start to happen. I guess it's not fair for me to blame him for something he didn't do.

well, Poppa left for the night. i am sitting here in my room...i just gave momma my special tea. Poppa had left town to go find another doctor in a near by town to see if they have any medicine to help momma. i know momma will be just fine. her coughing has stopped and she can breathe alot better now. i can't help feeling slight bit lonely. My friend hasn't been seen for 2 weeks...i hope he hasn't left town. Uh hold on for a minute diary...there is a tap at my window...

Rin looked at that unfinished page wide eyed like some one had just cut off the story in the middle of a good part. She quickly flipped the page to see if there is any more about the secret vistor.

October 17,1835

Sorry diary for not coming back. Last night my vampire came to my window...he looked troubled. We sat up all night talking about what was troubling him. He told me he had sensed trouble around my house. The towns people are blaming my father's medicine for making them sick. They are always blaming us gypsies for the dumbest things. With the weather changing people get sick, because we can't adapt to the quick change. Anyone with common sense could of told them that. It gets cold...means dress for the weather. Duh! I just hope they don't do anything bad to Poppa. Sesshomaru promised that he will stay with me until Poppa comes back. Any way, Momma is all better. My special tea worked, she said it is the best medicine she has ever tasted and asked me if i would make it for her every day so she doesn't get sick anymore. I was more than happy to. Momma has no clue that Sesshomaru has been staying here in my room at night. I think she will be very mad at me...but i don't care. Sesshomaru is like my over protective big brother...speaking of which...he is staring right at me reading my thoughts. He doesn't like me talking about him...he is afraid of people finding out his secret. but we both know diaries don't talk...

"hmmmm diaries don't talk...if she only knew." Rin muttered setting the book down on the boulder next to her.

" you took the words right out of my mouth gypsy." a figure in the shadows said loudly in a cold sexy tone.

" who's there?" Rin said turning towards the voice that spoke.

" Hmmm you look alot like her. but your more bold than her...she feared me but tried to hide it from me with her innocent smile. you on the other hand don't fear nothing. when i first saw you in class it was extreme deja vu...and now i know why. she is your ancestor...and i didn't have the nerve to take the diary off the table...you were just too close." Sesshomaru said slowly coming into the sunlight.

'wow...he is soo perfect...i would never have thought a being this beautiful had ever existed.' Rin stared at Sesshomaru taking in his full appearence. Then the thought came to her that Sesshomaru reads thoughts, she felt like smacking herself in the head.

" what were you thinking?" Sesshomaru eyed rin warily, seeing her facial features change.

" I thought you were suppose to read minds?" Rin eyed him cautiously.

" I can...but apparently not yours."

" Why's that?"

" I don't know maybe your brain is defective."

" Defective!! you jerk...maybe i'm too smart to fall for your charm that allows you to read innocent minds of people." Rin huffed in annoyance.

"possibly...but i still think it's cause your weird." Sesshomaru commented in a bored tone. He liked pissing her off. He loved seeing her facial features change.

" Well Mr. i have a pole shoved up my sexy ass... who gave you the right to decide what the hell is normal and what is weird." Rin retorted placing her hands firmly on her hips watching this sexy asshole walk closer.

" So you think i am sexy..." Sesshomaru said only an inch away from her face.

Rin didn't know what to say he was soo close to her face if she moved a fraction of an inch her lips would touch his. Sesshomaru looked into her eyes listening to her heart beat race at his closeness. She held her ground well...if it wasn't for her heart racing he would of honestly thought she wasn't the least bit interested in him.

" Cat got your tounge gypsy?" Sesshomaru whispered on her lips lightly brushing his cold lips on her warm ones.

"...you have no idea..." Rin whispered in a daze not taking her eyes off of him.

Sesshomaru chuckled stepping away from Rin giving them both plenty of room to breath, " your very intriguing gypsy."

" AGAIN WITH THE GYPSY...the name is RIN...R.I.N...RIN not gypsy." Rin yelled in frustration.

" oh really...i thought your name was Reina...thats what you signed the letter to your mother..."

" Reina is my full name...i liked to be called Rin...all my friends call me Rin. my family are the only ones that call me Reina...so no more gypsy please..."

"Fine...Rin..."

"you actually listen...hmmmm looks like there is hope for you yet blood sucker."

" Sesshomaru...my name is Sesshomaru...if you don't want me to call you gypsy don't call me blood sucker."

" ok Sesshomaru..." Rin smiled turning to grab the book off the boulder, " ...well i guess i will see you around. it is getting late."

Sesshomaru looked to the sky curiously. it was still day light the sun wasn't going to set for another 3 hours, " Rin you have plenty of time before it gets dark...what's your hurry?"

" it's later than you think Sesshomaru. it's after 4:00 pm...time for all mortals to be getting home to dinner." Rin said looking up to the sky, " i don't have a watch or anything...but something tells me that i need to be getting home. my mother is beginning to worry."

" Hmmmm your just like her...the one you were named after...she knew lots of things that i myself still don't understand...but now i think i have another chance to understand. i guess it is best that we both get going. if i am going to be hanging around you i need to make sure i am well fed so i don't accidently drain you." Sesshomaru said flashing his pearly whites.

" Do what you must...but who ever said i was going to be hanging around you? " Rin shrugged not caring if it wounded his pride, " it's not like i fear vampires anyway..."

" huh why not..."

" Because from what i heard a vampire would never take on a gypsy...unless given permission by a helpless gypsy that wanted their pitiful life ended quick... that's what i heard...whether it is true or not i do not know. most likely you wouldn't know either...seeing your history with gypsies...now if you excuse me i must get home. you go eat...your amber eyes are turning a dark color. See you around Sesshomaru." Rin smiled turning away from Sesshomaru walking into the forest.

Rin was right, it was late for the fact that her mother was pacing the floor as Nana Tsubaki tried to keep her clam. the clock had read 8:45 pm when all the lecturing on going into the forest alone and not waiting until someone was awake before leaving. Nana Tsubaki was the voice of reasoning in the whole matter. Finally being able to go to her room, Rin decided to put on her night shirt and read more of that diary. When she entered the dark room she didn't notice the window being open or the figure standing in the shadows. Rin had just taken her shirt off, and thrown it in the hamper when the figure decided to make himself known.

" Just so you know your not alone." Sesshomaru's husky voice said seductively. Rin shivered at the sound of his voice. She didn't know what to do, she wanted to turn around and yell at him for coming into her room while she was getting changed. Before she could decide what to do, she felt a jacket drape her shoulders giving her the cover up she needed.

" What are you doing here Sesshomaru?" Rin snapped facing him holding the jacket closed.

" I'm bored...just thought i'd drop by...maybe to take a look at that diary." Sesshomaru said not taking his eyes off of her.

" So you sneak in my room...pervert...and wait until i have taken off my shirt before saying anything. your such an asshole." Rin huffed out walking over to her bed grabbing her night shirt and walking into the closet to quickly change.

She walked out of her closet to find the sexy perverted god laying on her bed reading the diary. " hey, that isn't yours...you shouldn't be reading a girl's diary. give it here." Rin said reaching for the book.

" No...my turn to read it...you had all afternoon to read it." Sesshomaru held the book out of Rin's reach. Rin continued to reach for the book with determination.

" Give me the Damn book vamp." Rin reached as far as she could before falling ontop of sesshomaru.

In one quick movement Rin was now laying on her bed staring up and a hovering Sesshomaru. Their faces only inches apart, Sesshomaru mumbled something incoherent to rin before crashing his lips on hers. Rin's eyes went wide with shock before slowly giving in to the kiss. The feel of Rin's hands moving up Sesshomaru's arm to his shoulders resting on the back of his neck deepening the kiss more. Sesshomaru's eyes went wide when he realized his level of control was starting to slip. He quickly broke the kiss and jumped back a few feet giving them a good amount of space between them.

" Rin...i-i-i appologize for that. i didn't mean to take advantage like that. " Sesshomaru said not daring to look at the girl. in fear of what her emotions were going to tell him.

" no sweat...not everyday you get to kiss a vamp. no harm no foul i guess..." Rin let out a nervous laugh trying to lighten the mood. Sesshomaru could see she what she was trying to do and smiled for her gesture and decided to go along with it.

" why don't we sit and look at the book together...this way we don't have to fight over it anymore." Sesshomaru suggested sitting on the edge of the bed looking into rin's eyes. Rin was hesitant at first but she nodded in agreement scooting over so Sesshomaru could lay on the bed with her.

November 15, 1835

Pappa never made it home from his trip. Sesshomaru came across his body in the woods two weeks ago. It's been really hard for mamma. She loved him soo much. A group of gypsies from another town is suppose to be coming here to help us out until we can get back on our feet. I don't think we need them, because i can throw herbs and medicine together to sell and we have Sesshomaru to protect us. I'm glad he's not here right now...he would be mad with me for what i am thinking right now. He doesn't think i should be meddling with things in the town. I've been delivering medicine and i opened up a stand in town. I feel that i need to show those who have looked down on my people that they might be able to kill my family off but we will carry on no matter what happens. So diary please keep this small secret...i don't want Sesshomaru to feel the need to hover over me like a protective mother hen. He will have to let me go at some point in time. Vampires aren't suppose to be the gypsies guard dogs. He is suppose to fear me not protect me...thats ok, i am working on blocking my thoughts from him. I might make a spell book just so that future generations can use it for healing or protection. they need to know how to handle themselves against those that are immortal. I can see that one of these days vampires will only be myth. You and I diary will know the truth. Vampires are real and may always be real.

Rin looked up at Sesshomaru who had a disapproval glare, staring at the entry. Anyone could tell you that he was probably hurt by the comment that was made. He really cared about Reina, and all she did was be ungrateful to everything he has done for her.

May 23, 1845

Well tomorrow is my big day. Jacob is a great man...i wish Sesshomaru can see that. Sesshomaru thinks i am rushing into things. Jacob's family is leaving after the wedding, they have been such a big help since they came. I am 25 years old i feel that it is time to settle down...plus no one knows this yet but i'm pregnant. that is why me and jacob are rushing to be married.

Sesshomaru is going to be told to go his own way from now on. i have kept my bedroom window locked to keep him out. maybe he has taken the hint that i am trying to live my life vampire free. I hope that he will one day forgive me for trying to live a normal life. Eventhough gypsies don't live normal lives, but i want to try...i am too mature to play this lil game of having a vampire for my best friend. May he find love one day and understand why i did what i did. I pray that my future children's children's children are able to live a normal life where people don't make fun of them for being gypsies.

That was the last entry Sesshomaru read before closing the book. He looked down at Rin who was snuggled in his arms. To him she was the most beautiful creature that has ever lived. He has never met a girl in this entire world like her. Rin turned in her sleep snuggling into Sesshomaru's rock hard chest with her arm draped across his abdomen. Sesshomaru only smirked gently ran his fingers through her hair. He decided right then and there he wanted to make her his.
