Rin awoke in her new bed. Wait, didn't I fall asleep in the living room last night? she wondered but a familiar scent caught her attention. That's Sesshomaru's scent…did he bring me up here? Her heart sped up at the thought and she blushed slightly. She put her hands on her cheeks and shook her head vigorously. W-Why am I blushing? W-We're just friends…right?
She sat up and rubbed her eyes and stopped. Her room…was full of shopping bags. Oh yeah, that's why I was so tired. Sheesh Izayoi can shop a lot! I nearly died in the first half-hour but she didn't even seem tired even after six hours!
The smell of eggs reached her nose and her mouth watered. She quickly got dressed in some of her new clothes. She pulled on a grey skirt and a long yellow turtleneck sweater. She put on her bunny slippers and made her way down the stairs. Everyone was already in the kitchen waiting for their breakfast.
"Ohayo! (Good morning!)" she greeted them all.
Izayoi spun around from inside the kitchen and smiled her beautiful smile. "Ohayo Rin-chan!"
Inutaisho and his two sons only nodded slightly and grunted in recognition. Rin raised an eyebrow at their behavior.
Izayoi laughed merrily. "Don't worry about them Rin-chan! My husband and Sesshomaru are still half asleep. They aren't really morning people," she whispered.
Rin nodded. "What about Inuyasha then?" she asked curiously.
Izayoi rolled her eyes, "He's just upset that we aren't having ramen. Really Inuyasha, you have to stop being such a baby."
Rin laughed and walked up to the black haired woman. "Would you like any help?"
"Sure, dear. Could you help me bring these plates over to the table?"
"Of course!"
"Ooo that was so good Izayoi-chan!" Rin declared happily after eating and rubbed her stomach. "All I've ever had for the past few years was store bought foods, and they are not very appetizing," Rin laughed.
Izayoi smiled brightly, "Thank you! See Hon? She likes my food!" she scolded her husband and smacked him playfully on the back of the head.
"O-Oi! I never said I didn't like your food!" Inutaisho said and put his hand up in defense.
Izayoi crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, "Well you never thank me for it at least."
Inutaisho dropped his egg filled fork and embraced his wife dramatically. "I'm so sorry my dear! Thank you so much for the wonderful breakfast!"
Izayoi and Rin laughed at Inutaisho's little act and he grinned. "Is that what you wanted dear?" he asked.
"That's good enough," she continued laughing.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sighed and rolled their eyes, "You guys are so dramatic," they muttered in unison.
"Oh Sesshomaru! I saw a little park a little bit down the road, con we go there later today?" Rin asked hopefully.
Sesshomaru was about to refuse but once he saw the puppy-dog eyes she was giving him he had to look away to hide his blush. "Fine," he murmured and stood to bring his plate to the kitchen sink.
"Inuyasha, why don't you go too? Get to know Rin-chan better!" Izayoi urged her son.
"But Mum-"
"-You're going," she said in a serious tone.
Inuyasha gulped, "O-Okay."
"Yay!" his mother clapped happily and he groaned.
"Come on Rin, let's go," Sesshomaru said and tugged on his black coat since the winter air was still crisp even though there wasn't any snow on the ground.
"Okay! Let's go Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha grumbled something incoherent as the girl pulled his brother and him out the front door towards the park.
The walk to the park only took a few minutes and Rin ran up to the bridge in the middle of it. The river underneath had a very thin layer of ice over it but she could still see some little critters beneath the sheet of frozen water. The water was rushing quickly and just by looking at it Made Rin feel even more chilled.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both walked up to her with their hands deep in their pockets. Inuyasha's half-demon ears atop his head twitched as he heard another female voice humming in the distance. He turned around, causing his brother and Rin to follow his gaze.
They could see a bundled up figure of a girl as she walked by the river's edge. Suddenly, the girl lost her footing and fell right into the river!
"Oh No!" Rin yelled in fear as the giirl crashed through the ice and didn't rise to the top again.
Before she or Sesshomaru could react, Inuyasha had ripped off his jacket and jumped in after the girl. Seconds later he resurfaced a ways down the river with the shivering figure in his arms.
Rin ran up to them and went to place her jacket on the girl but Inuyasha had already picked his up from the ground and placed it on her. Rin took a closer look at the shivering girl in the half-demon's arms.
"Kagome?!" she gasped. It was indeed her friend wrapped in the boys coat and Rin felt like crying.
"We have to get back home before she gets hypothermia," he ordered and the others nodded in agreement and ran after him towards home.
Kagome stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Her lips were turning blue and her teeth couldn't stop chattering. She looked up at Inuyasha and smiled kindly. "Thank you, Sir," she whispered before falling back into unconsciousness.
Inuyasha blushed slightly and picked up his pace and ran up the front steps into the house.
"Oh, you guys are back so soo- Oh my! What happened? She's soaked!" Izayoi said and ran into a closet and returned with some blankets. "Come on, bring her up to one of the guest rooms Inuyasha."
Her son complied and followed her up to the room next to Rin's.
"Will she be alright?" Rin asked worriedly as Inuyasha placed Kagome on the bed. "She's my best friend; I don't want anything to happen to her!"
Izayoi smiled reassuringly and nodded. "She should be fine; we just need to get her out of these wet clothes so things don't get worse. Inuyasha, call the doctor."
"R-Right!" he stuttered as his mother started taking off Kagome's clothes to put her into warm ones.
……
"I called her house. I guess her parents are away on a business trip and she told me the other day that her little brother was going to stay over a friend's house tonight," Rin said as she walked into the living room. "Where's Inuyasha?" she asked, noticing his absence.
"He's bringing her up some food incase she woke up…he seems quite attached to her," Izayoi giggled happily.
(Up In Kagome's Room)
Inuyasha walked quietly into the dimly lit room and set the tray of food down on the nightstand. He was about to walk away when he heard the girl behind him moan softly and he turned around. Her eyes were on him and he froze. Amber met brown and it seemed as though time stopped.
Kagome and Inuyasha blushed and turned away from each other.
Kagome found her voice first and turned back to the white haired half-demon. "Thank you for saving me in the river, Inuyasha."
"Y-You're welcome…H-how are you feeling? I tried to get to you faster but the water pushed you down the river."
"O-Oh that's alright. When I woke up and saw you I thought I was dead already and you were an angel- I-I mean, it's n-not like I-"
"-Oh yeah, I understand," he laughed nervously and Kagome blushed in embarrassment. "Oh yeah! I brought you up some food so if you want some…" he drifted off.
"Thanks…do…do you want to share with me? Because I don't think I'll be able to finish it all," she smiled shyly and looked up at him.
Inuyasha smiled softly in reply and pulled up a seat next to her bed. They ate together and talked for a while before it was night time and Inuyasha got up to go to bed.
"Well…umm, tomorrow if you want, I can have the limo drop us off at your house so you can get your school stuff," he said while scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah I'd like that…goodnight Inuyasha."
"'Night Kagome," he whispered and walked out into the hallway, closing the door with a soft 'click.'
They both fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
