"Wow, really?" Rin smiled at Kagome.
Inuyasha gaped at her, his mouth still full of ramen noodles and rice cake.
Sesshomaru said nothing, but his mouth hung slightly open. Kohaku reacted in the same way.
Kagome grinned.
(AN: Let me know if you want a oneshot instead of the next chapter about Kagome having the baby, because otherwise I will skip it.)
Later that night, Rin was showing Kohaku where he would be sleeping. (Not in a scandelous kinda way. *_*)
"Rin?"
"Yeah?"
"Why did you help me out, back at the factory?"
"Because-well.. This is why." Rin leaned forward, and her lips brushed once again against his, causing her heart to beat so hard that she thought it would break away, right out of her chest. Kohaku was shocked first, so shocked that he tensed up, and for a second, Rin thought that she had just made things akward, but then he kissed back, throwing his arms around her with passion, an amount of passion it was clear that he had never felt before. From the hallway, they heard a gasp, and Rin pulled away, turning to see who had seen their lips meet, her face bright red. Kagome was standing in the doorway, one hand over her mouth.
"You had better not let Sesshomaru know!"
"Please don't tell him! Not yet!"
"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." Kagome mimed zipping her lips. "I won't say a word."
Rin sighed.
"Goodnight, Kohaku."
"Goodnight, Rin."
As the door closed, alone in the dark hallway, Rin whispered a small, nearly silent "I love you." before walking slowly to her room, as if in a trance.
The next morning, Rin woke up as the sunlight from her open window licked gently at her eyelids, shining the announcement of a new day.
"Did that..." Rin let her question fade away, sure that the purity of the night before had occurred.
As she walked down the stairs, Rin ran into Sesshomaru (litteraly).
"I'm so sorry, Sesshomaru!"
"Don't worry about it." Sesshomaru didn't seem like himself lately.
A sudden thought that should not have reached Rin's mind tickled her senses. Shippo. Rin hadn't spoken to him since she had left for Shards Academy nearly seven years ago. I wonder how he's doing.
She shook her head as she continued down the stairs. What could have possibly happened?
