Seshomaru was laying in his room on his bed. His amber eyes watching the day turn to night through the view from his open balcony door.

He watched birds flew by with not a care in the world, planes going somewhere far in the distance carrying people that had problems all their own, the sun setting and the moon start to rise high in the star filled sky.

"Thinking about something?" Sesshomaru jerks up. He never heard his father enter the room. He glances at him, watching his every move. His once pale skin looks even paler and more like the paleness that one acquires from being close to death.

"Hn," he lays back watching a bat fly around in the cool night sky looking for a moth to fill its stomach. He feels his bed dip with the added weight of his father.

"Inuyasha says you went to see Rin today," Inu Tashio says, his amber eyes watching his son for any hint at anything he might feel for the raven haired, chocolate eyed girl.

"So?" Sesshomaru ask turning one fine eye to his father. He sees that he has a serious look on his face.

"Are you playing her?" the elder Inu demon asked knowing the way that his son used women for just a night or two, then never thought about them again.

"No!" Sesshomaru says defencive of what he feels for Rin.

"Playing with a girls heart is no laughing matter," he father says watching his son.

"I know," he sighs.

"She's different than the others Sesshomaru," Inu Tashio watches as his son while he thinks of what to say.

"I know," he says again, this mind is drifting to Rin. Her face so beautiful even in the shadow of death. Her raven hair so soft under his fingers. Everything about her was so different.

"Do you really?" Inu Tashio gets up from his place on the bed and leaves the room, closing the door while his eldest son thinks about why she is so different than any other girl that he had ever meet in his short life.

Rin was trying to sleep. She tossed and turned in her bed, hoping that it would be the last time that she would have to move for the night. She sighed and through the blanket off of her. She reached over and flipped the little lamp that was sitting on the nightstand.

Rin glanced around the room taking everything in. The posters she had bought herself and others from the few friends she had.

Rin glanced at the paper that had Sesshomaru's number on it. She grabbed it and thought about calling him. It was late, but he had said call him at anytime.

She grabbed the small phone on her nightstand and flipped it open. Her fingers hung over the the key pads ready and waiting to dial the number.

Rin sighed and flipped it closed. She shook her head and placed her head in her hands. She had no idea what to do. She knew that she liked Sesshomaru. There was just something different about him than other boys she had meet along the way in her life. His long silver hair and amber eyes that could look deep within your soul to the deepest darkest parts that you might never have known was even there.

Rin rasied an eye and and looked at the paper laying infront of her. She traced the numbers that he had writen in his perfect hand writing across the white paper in dark black ink.

Rin grasped her phone and flipped it open. This time she dialed the first few numbers, but she stopped again. She sat there for a minute and then cleared the screen and typed in the number for Kagome.

She held the phone to her ear and waited for the girl to answer. Rin knew she would be awake. She usually spent Friday nights with her boyfriend, Inuyasha.

"Hello?" a voice answered.

"Hey Kagome!" Rin answered glad to hear a friendly voice.

"Oh..Rin." Kagome said. Rin heard a voice in the background.

"Is it a bad time?" Rin asked.

"No...well kinda," Kagome confessed to Rin.

"Oh..sorry. I'll call back tomorrow then," Rin said, her voice not betraying at how sad she was not to have someone to talk to.

"No Rin its okay, really," Kagome said.

"No its late. 'Night."

"Okay. Good night Rin," the phone line went dead on Kagomes end. Rin sighed and closed her phone. She knew she was losing Sango and Kagome little by little. Each time they would visit they would stay a little bit shorter than the last time. Rin hoped she was dead before she was completely friendless.

Rin laid back in her bed after turning off the light. She felt one solitary tear make its way down her cheak before she fell into a restless sleep.
