Rin had not expected this of Krad and she didn't know what to do but lean back and enjoy it. Wow I didn't know Krad thought of me that way. I guess I should tell him at dinner about what Dark did. Rin thought as they broke off for air.

"Krad why did you do that? I mean we barely know each-other and you kissed me. Why?" Rin asked looking up at him from her place in his arms.

He just smirked and leaned down to her ear level, "It's because I truly love you. What don't you like me?" he asked looking into her eye's with a hurt look on his face that made Rin feel guilty.

"No it's not that it's just that I do like you but…" Rin couldn't finish because at just that moment Ayame and Kisa came in and saw the position the two were in.

Rin looked away embarrassed that her cousins had caught her in this position. Krad took his hands off Rin and stepped back until he was two feet away from her, looking down at the floor as embarrassed as Rin. (A/N; I just find it so cute that Krad was embarrassed. :D)

"I hope we weren't interrupting anything?" Kisa asked looking from one red face to the other. They both shook their heads while watching the floor.

"Really? Then Krad could you come and help me with something while Kisa show's Rin around. After-all it has been a while since she was here." Ayame said and Krad walked to the door and followed the other boy.

Kisa looked at her flushed cousin and went to her and held out her hand for Rin. Rin looked up and smiled before taking her cousins hand. They headed out the door and went to her room to wait for dinner to be ready.

Once they entered Kisa's room Rin went to the bed while her cousin closed and locked the door.

"Okay what was happening between you two before we showed up? And I want every detail." Kisa said as she went and sat down next to Rin who had picked up one of the old stuffies that was at the end of her bed and was holding it tightly.

"He kissed me after telling me that he loves me," Rin said bluntly looking up at her cousin and causing her to anime fall.

"Seriously?! And did you tell him that you love him back?!" Kisa practically yelled if Rin hadn't pushed the stuffy against her cousin's mouth so that no-one else would here.

"Would you please be quite already?! I don't want the whole world to know!!" Rin said with an anime vein popping up on her face everywhere.

"Sorry, sorry it's just that Krad hasn't kissed anyone before and neither have you I guess." Kisa said before seeing the look that came across Rin's features.

"OMG you've kissed someone before?! Who was it?!" Kisa almost yelled again if Rin hadn't cupped Kisa's mouth with her hand.

"I'll only tell you if you promise to be quite," Kisa nodded quickly wanting to hear who it was, "okay don't freak but it was Dark."

When Rin told her cousin she saw Kisa's eyes go huge in shock and she was as still as a rock. After Rin removed her hand and stood in front of her cousin Kisa sat up and looked at her cousin in front of her.

"Dark kissed you? But why would he do that I wonder?" Kisa said as she pondered about it for a few minutes before facing her cousin once more.

"Rin…" Kisa had barely said her name before they heard Riku telling them to come out and go to the backyard.

Rin didn't want to face anyone right then and there so when Kisa went to the door Rin carefully made her way to the window and opened it. She looked down and guessed it was probably a thirty or forty foot drop. She looked back at Kisa before taking off her shoes and tossing them to Kisa mouthing, 'I'll go another way.'

Just as Kisa was about to say something the door opened to reveal Kisa's mother. Riku looked at the positions of her daughter and niece before yelling, "Rin get away from that window NOW!!."

Rin just smiled and gave a small wave before jumping, fifteen feet above the ground she twisted her body so that she would land without hurting herself. She touched the ground in crouch and took off running to the back of the house hearing her aunts' yells from the window she had just jumped from. She grinned and jumped over the wall separating the backyard from the front. Once she was on the other side she saw that her family and Krad were there.

"Rin what's going on? Where are Kisa and Riku?" her father asked as she walked further into the now decorated back yard. Rin noticed her father looking her over before coming to the conclusion as to why she was alone and barefoot.

"Rin Hiwatari how many times have I told you not to jump from window's?! And especially in that new dress of yours!" he fussed as she walked to one of the lawn chairs next to the pool.

"I'm sorry dad but I didn't want to face anyone at the time. I promise I won't do it again while we're still here," Rin said putting her hand up and looking at her father. Her father sighed and went to stand next to her uncle who was finishing with the decorating. Rin noticed Krad watching her with curious eyes before walking over and sitting next to her.

"Hey what's up? You wanna talk about it?" he said in that sweet seducing voice of his as he leaned in closer to her face. When they were just a few inches apart he stopped and looked at her with evident concern in his voice.

"It's alright besides I was just thinking about what happened earlier. I was also wondering though how you can like me if I just came here a few days ago?" Rin asked as she looked up at him and realized how much his eyes reminded her of pure gold.

"I guess you could call it love at first sight. But in reality there's this aura around you that just pulls me to you and makes me want to be with you," Krad told her as he leaned in closer until their noses were touching. Rin inhaled deeply as she met Krad's gaze and was about to lean in and kiss him until someone coughed behind her making her jump.

"Rin what do you think you're doing?!" Rin heard her aunt say behind her and she anime sweated before turning around to face her aunt leaving Krad watching her passionately.

"Well I was just telling Krad here a very good joke that I was going to tell everyone later," Rin lied as she looked right into her aunt's eyes.

"Really? Well judging from Krad's reaction I'd say it was something else. What's really going on between you two?" Riku asked looking between her niece and her friend. Riku was surprised to see a light blush creep up Rin's face when she asked this question. It made her wonder what sort of relationship the two had.

"It doesn't really matter just promise me you won't jump out of a window in front of me and I won't bug you about it. Got it?" Riku asked before her husband and brother-in-law called everyone for dinner.

"I'll have to get back to you on that. Come on Krad let's go," Rin said as she took Krad's hand and pulled him to the decorative table with the food on it.

It won't be long now. I just hope she chooses her crush carefully, Riku thought as she followed Rin and Krad to where everyone was helping themselves and wishing Rin a happy birthday.
