Almost Perfect

Chapter 7: Rain

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I own a Sesshy plushie, my prized possesion.

A/N: Hey guys! I got this idea of doing this chapter because well... it's been raining all week! Well, I knew I had to do this chapter because it's the weekend, and I had tons of time. Hope you enjoy.

Soledad stared at the blank ceiling as the rain poured on the roof, listening to the soothing rhythm. Tap,tap,tap,tap, tap tap tap, crack, BOOM! Soledad jumped at the sound of thunder. She laughed at herself and stayed under the covers of her bed. She knew she had to get out soon, it was already late morning. But she was so gloomy because of the rain coming from the endless gray sky. Every time it rained, for some reason, she was always sad, and she didn't know why. She silently stretched on the bed.

'Rain, rain, go away...' she mumbled as she got up from the bed. She had to do something today, even though she really didn't feel like doing anything. Maybe something interesting will happen.

'Well, someone finally up.' Jaken mumbled angrily as he waddled away.

'Fifty two pressure points... just remember that.' Soledad said instead of a greeting. At least I get some enjoyment of scaring him. Soledad thought as she heard him walk even faster away from her. She had reached the door of Sesshomaru's study, which was always open. She was going to greet him like she usually did when she walked past his door, put she decided not to.

'What happened to my greeting?' Soledad walked back and saw Sesshomaru scribbling on a parchment. His golden eyes were staring at the paper, not making contact with Soledad.

'What greeting?'

'The one you give me every day.' He said, still not looking at her. She smiled.

'Oh, you actually pay attention to me when I greet you in the morning?'

'Sometimes.'

'I'm glad you care.' She smirked. She stepped into the study. The only time she was here before was when they first met, almost a month ago. The large bookcase, about ten feet tall was filled with books of all kinds. Next to it was a large globe of the world, and on the other side of it was a large flower plant. Across the fairly large room with his own desk, a very well polished wooden desk with a stack of papers at one side, and some finished papers on the other side. The walls were filled with a very simple pattern, of dog youkai in the grass doing various actions. It musn't have been Sesshomaru who made this design... Soledad thought. 'I never thought you'd pay attention to me.' she said sarcastically.

'Well now you know that I do, sometimes. So it would really help if you didn't think you would be able to talk to me all the time.' Soledad smirked. Maybe I could play around with him for a while.

'Why would I talk all the time if I wanted to hear your soothing, seductive voice.' Soledad saw his eyes slightly open a little wider. I'm going to play her game with her for a while... Sesshomaru thought. He looked up at her, seeing that she was trying to play with him.

'I guess I do that to women.'

'Oh, yes you do. You do it all the time.' She tensed up slightly when she saw him walking towards her. He came up behind her and held her, feeling her tense up. He smirked.

'Like this?' he said into her ear. She felt shivers up her spine.

'Mmhm.' she said softly.

'Come and sit on my lap then.' Soledad pushed him away, not facing him because she had a huge blush on her face.

'I better not,' she mumbled slightly, scurrying out the door. Sesshomaru went back to the desk. Beat her at her own game.

Soledad's POV

Well, that was very... uncomfortable... I wish I hadn't done that. I thought. I looked around and saw that I had lead myself to the garden again. I still had shivers up and down my spine from what had just happened. It was still raining. I sighed. Today I wouldn't be able to do anything. Maybe I should go outside in the rain.

What are you thinking?

Well, I've never done it before, and...

You've never done it before because you know you'll get sick!

If I get out early enough I won't.

What's early enough?

A couple of minutes! I finally stopped debating with myself and I stepped out into the pouring rain. The rain was ice cold but I didn't go back to where I was before. I knew people were going to ask why I was so drenched, but I didn't care.

'What are you doing!' Great. Sesshomaru. I thought, a little annoyed.

'I'm out in the rain.'

'Why?' I looked over to him.

'Because I want to.' I wasn't in the mood to bother with him now.

'Get back over here.' he said with some demand in his voice.

'Why should I go back there because you tell me to?'

'I am the Lord of this castle, and I demand you come over here!' I looked over to him and I saw he was angry. 'You will not disobey me!'

'Well, I am now!' The next thing I knew, I was being carried by him.

'LET ME GO!' I shrieked. I kicked him and punched him until I saw his eyes turning red. I frowned angrily at him.

'You're coming back inside.' he told me.

'Why were you watching me?'

'I had some free time.'

'And where do you find this free time?'

'I finished, that all. Don't question me.'

'Well, then, why do you even care if I was in the rain, anyway?' he didn't answer me this time and put me down to my room. He just left me there. I slammed the door as I walked inside, cursing at him. Why didn't he answer my question, though? the thought stained into my mind.

Okay, that's chapter 7! Hoped you liked it! See u next week!
