Chapter 4

Now two weeks at her new job she was finding it tiring. It wasn't the work, it was the fact that she never actually quit her first job. She was still collecting parts and fixing her customers applications. She needed money to live and working at Sesshoumaru's company had great benefits and great pay more than she was used to. So she figured as long as she saved every single check and only spent from what she made from repairing things.

She would be able to pay Sesshoumaru back faster than if used any of it. She hoped she would be able to pay him back in seven years, which thinking about it depressed her. But she had wasted the same amount of time before she, what's seven more years? Besides, she did enjoy her time at work.

Rin smiled as she skipped down the sidewalk. She was doing an errand for her boss. Apparently, he left some important papers at his apartment. Rin hummed as she continued down the sidewalk. Looking at the address written a small piece of paper she found that his apartment was so close, well not too close but only a few blocks away. It would take her about three minutes to get there.

" Wow, so close and yet I've seen him take a car home after work. He's probably never walked a day in his life." Rin said aloud to herself as she rubbed her shoulders.

Once at his apartment building she was let in by the doorman who was shocked to see a woman visiting Sesshoumaru's apartment. The only woman Sesshoumaru ever got visits from was his mother.

Once she was at his front door she used his key to let herself in. Opening the door her first impression was how cold his apartment felt. It was beautifully decorated with very little furniture. Walking across his large living room she hear the echoes of click of her heels. The entire place was so clean, Rin was pretty sure you could probably eat off the floor. Everything had a place and was in it's place. No warm colors or decorations, nothing cute or special, nothing to mistake as a gift from a friend. Nothing personal at all.

Not know his floor plan Rin set out in search of the study. After accidentally finding the bathroom she stumbled across his bedroom. And while she wanted to quickly shut the door and continue her search. One look at his fluffy white bed, full of white blankets and pillows dragged her into his bedroom. She was in awe at how massive his bed was. She could only imagine that it was custom built.

Slowly walking around it and she ran her fingers along the edge of the bed. The texture of his blanket was like soft, plush fur. It was inviting and Rin didn't fight the urge to toss herself on his bed. Even though it was childish she crawled up to the pillows, and inhaling deeply as she cuddled into the mountain of soft pillows. She realized that their was a calming scent left on his pillows. Instinctively she cuddled closer the pillow.

Starting to feel sleepy she quickly sat up, if she took a nap she might oversleep. Looking across the bed she wonder how many rolls it would take to get across the bed. Deciding it would be more fun to find out. She began rolling across the bed. Once she reached the edge she stopped just in time. One more turn and she would have fallen right off the bed.

Letting out a heavy sigh of relief she relaxed her body, only to tense up and crash onto the floor. Her phone started ringing, and thinking quickly she dig in her pocket. Looking at the in coming call she saw it was Sesshoumaru, and thought that he knew what she had done crossed her mind. Scared to answer the phone she hesitated for a second, but answered knowing it would be worst to make him wait.

"Hello," Rin answered as calmly as she could. However much she tried to hide her nervousness was useless since Sesshoumaru could hear it.

"Is everything okay?" he asked as causally as possible. He was concerned but didn't want her to think she meant more to him than any another employee.

"Yes, I was just on my way back," Rin lied as she stood up and slipped back into the guest slippers.

"I see. Bring all the folders on my desk," Sesshoumaru instructed as he hung up the phone.

"Yes, sir. I'll be...he hung up. Geez, I don't even know why he bothers calling. He already told me which folders he wanted at the office." Rin complained as she looked for his study.

After she gather everything Sesshoumaru wanted she headed for the door. In no time she back at the company building and about to walk into Sesshoumaru's office when she was stopped.

"Where are you coming from?!" Jaken both yelled and accused at the same time.

"I was sent to retrieve some folders from our boss's house, and I'm actually in a hurry," Rin said as she walked past Jaken and into Sesshoumaru's office.

Jaken stood there shocked and confused. Sesshoumaru never ever let a woman enter his apartment. There plenty of time when he need something from home and he always made Jaken stop whatever he was doing to go get it. Jaken had an uneasy feeling about this and would try to choose the right time to speak with his boss.

"Did you have fun?" Sesshoumaru asked as he narrowed his eyes. He didn't know for certain if Rin had done anything in his home besides get the folders he need, but his instincts said she did, and he always follows his instincts.

"What's fun about picking up some folders?" Rin asked as she tried to hide her guilt, but Sesshoumaru could smell it all over her. Normally, he would continue this conversation until he was satisfied she was frustrated but he was behind schedule today, and didn't want to show up late for his appointment with a potential client.

After read through one of the folders, he slammed it shut and called for Jaken to get his car ready.

It was late in the evening when Sesshoumaru returned home. He was mentally tired from dealing with a problem that suddenly came up with the investors. Rubbing his temples he decided to forgo any activities he usually he did when he got home like reading the news or eating. He instead went straight to the soak in his tub.

Once he was done and dressed in his silk pajamas he head for the most comfortable and relaxing place, his bed. It was the only place in his apartment that had any warmth.

Getting into his bed he smelt it, Rin's scent. When he got home her scent was everywhere but she had to go through the apartment to find the study. So he didn't think twice about it.

However once he rested his head against his pillows he discovered she had laid in his bed. The scent was flowery and relaxing, but he also found that inhale large amounts of it made his emotions stir, and his blood flow away from his brain. This made it hard to think or focus. Rolling over to get away from her scent to the other side he found that her scent was all over the bed.

"What did she do, roll around on the entire bed?" Sesshoumaru asked himself. Becoming increasingly frustrated, he got out of bed and head towards his library where he had a comfortable couch. He would have to sleep here tonight.

As Sesshoumaru closed his eyes he wondered what brought this on. Why was his body responding to this human girl? He was always around her scent and this never happened before. Perhaps it was different this time, but what was different? Well, he had never had a woman lay in his bed before, and perhaps it was just the imagine it conjured. He decided to leave it at and rest. He was certain it was a one time thing, a one time feeling. Though if anyone is keeping count it was actually the third time he had this feeling.

"What is this! You keep putting this in the wrong place!" Sesshoumaru complained with a slight growl.

"Come!" he called as he pulled out the misplaced file. Rin rushed over with a look of concern for her safety more than her ignorance. Sesshoumaru never yelled at her like this nor did he complain about every little thing she did wrong. That was Jaken's job, though after she thought about it, Jaken hadn't been in the office all day.

"I'm so sorry, sir. It won't happen again," Rin reassured him as gently as she could and cautiously took the file from his hand. She stepped in front of him to place it in the right spot when she feel his tall and warm body right behind as he looked over her shoulder. Any closer and they would be touching.

Sensing Sesshoumaru behind her, Rin became confused and flustered. Even though he was angry his body language told a completely different story. Flashes of her catching Sesshoumaru staring at her, made her even more uneasy.

Her hand now slightly trembling she divided the files to place it in the right spot when she felt a hand grab hers and place it a file over.

"Not again?" Sesshoumaru asked his voice deep and right in her ear. She could feel his breath on her neck. So many thoughts ran through her mind but the one that stood out the most was that she was being sexual harassed by her employer, and with that she reeked of fear. It flooded his nose, and all he could do was back away as it knocked some sense into Sesshoumaru.

"Leave. You have the rest of the week off." Sesshoumaru demanded as he pointed to the exit. Rin not wanting to chance anything gave a lightning fast bow of apology before running out the door.

Jaken just returning watched as Rin sped past him. He was confused until he saw his employer. Jaken at once understood that the girl have finally gotten to him. It was clear to Jaken his boss have developed some feeling for the girl.

"Sir, perhaps it's time to give up on this silly girl. She will never be able to pay for the damages. She is only a distraction." Jaken timidly suggested as he approached Sesshoumaru cautiously.

"Perhaps," Sesshoumaru thought aloud as he walked back to his desk.

"Oh good! She was such a bother and a brat. Not worth your time, beside what could ever come of courting her, she's married," Jaken causally continued the conversation.

If Sesshoumaru had been listening he might have hear that Jaken knew of his unintentional yet intentional courting, but he wasn't, the only he heard was she was married. How could she be married?

I do not own Inuyasha.

Enjoy.
