Chapter 9: Just A Kiss

Stretching his arms above his head, Sesshomaru walked down the hallway heading to Rin's room. The dream from not even an hour before was still fresh on his mind. Was the dream caused from him changing Rin into her clothes after she fainted? Or on some sliughtly impossible chance, him and Rin shared the same dream and she wants him like he wants her. Oh, how he'd enjoy tasting that sweet innocence on his tongue like he dreamt he did.

The door to Rin's room was slightly ajar when Sesshomaru reached it; the voice of Rin and Kirara reached his ear. Normally, Sesshomaru wouldn't eavesdrop but he just had to make sure. He needed to know this wasn't some weird coincidence that he was dreaming about her. So he crept closer to the door and listened.

"So RiRi," Kirara started as she waggled her eyebrows. "Wanna tell me about that erotic dream that had you screaming the Ice Prince's name?"

Cheeks burning a bright red, Rin walked out of the changing room and placed her hands on her hips. Kirara was trustable, she knew that. And she also knew that her best friend wouldn't breathe a word about it.

"Well," she began a little unsure. "It felt so real Kira. I'm still a virgin but if that's what sex is like, then wooooow."

Laughing, Kirara stated, "Guess we need to hook you up, V"

Pouting sourly, Rin glared at her friend. She should have kept quiet. It wasn't her fault she was a virgin. Wait, yes it was. She didn't want to throw away something that precious away on such a jerk. If she ever lost her virginity, she'd want it to be lost to Sesshomaru. But what she didn't know, was that she said it aloud.

Blinking, Kirara crawled over to her best friend. The back of her knuckles stroked Rin's cheek as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Rin, why are you crying?" she asked softly.

Shaking her head, Rin stared at her lap before whispering her reply. "Sessh will only view me as his best friend's girlfriend who he has kissed three times. There can't be an 'us' between Sesshomaru and I...He is with Kagura."

Kirara wrapped her arms tightly around Rin's shoulders pulling her close. This was the only comfort that she could offer her. If there was something else, she'd do it. But this is all Rin ever asked for. This was the one thing she missed out on growing up.

"Oh, my dear, sweet, adorable little Rinny. You know that's not true," reassured Kirara. "I've seen the way he looks at you. Sure, I'm not the Ice Prince expert like you are but...he looks at you with such admiration and love.

"So cheer up, my little flower," she whispered kissing the top of Rin's head as she cried into her shirt.

Leaning against the wall next to the door, Sesshomaru's eyes widen slightly. So she believed there couldn't be any thing between them because he was Kagura? That made sense and it made me feel weird. It made his heart ache as if it was breaking. Impossible. Still he brought his hand to rest over it.

Why did she do this to him? How is it possible that she could make him feel such things for her? It was driving him insane. But she was right. There couldn't be an 'us' between them so long as Naraku and Kagura were in the picture. There was really no end to his torment, was there?

Pushing off the wall, Sesshomaru started to walk away only to stop when Rin stepped out of the room.

"I'm going to the hotspring again, RaRa. I need to relax," she said smiling back into the room with a change of clothes and a towel draped over her arm. Turning around, she ran right into his chest nearly falling back from the force had it not been for his arms wrapped around her waist. Out of nowhere, a song started drifting into the hall way and seemed to dance around them.

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow

Golden eyes met hazel brown eyes as they looked at each other. Both of them could feel the other's heart pounding in the chests from how close they were. The dream seemed to flash in their minds as they continued to stare into the other's eyes. It seemed so mystic and powerful that they couldn't help it.

Slowly, they started to lean in close so that their noses were touching. Their breathing seemed to be the only thing that was heard in the hall as their desire started to build up until they couldn't stand it. Not able to stand it any longer, Sesshomaru closed the distance between their lips until the nearly touched each other. How he wanted to kiss her so badly right then and there.

"Please, Sessh," Rin whispered, her lips barely brushing his as she spoke her plead. She needed to feel him kiss her. She needed those lips she's been dying to kiss again against her own.

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

The moonlight that seemed to come in from the window next to them, bathed their bodies with it's celestial light as their lips finally met in a long, passionate kiss. Dropping everything in her arms, Rin reached her hands up placing them on Sesshomaru's cheeks to hold him closer. Their lips moved against each other's slowly but urgently trying not to get too carried away. The passion in the kiss soon bursted into fire as the electricity seemed to shoot through their veins like liquid fire.

Whimpering, Rin leaned up against Sesshomaru as his arms slipped down and under her rearend pulling her up. He gently carried her back into her room not noticing that Kirara had vanished. His foot closed to the door before he carried her over to the futon in the middle of the room. Gently, he laid her down onto her back, never breaking their kiss once during the whole ordeal.

I know that if we give this a little time
It'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no it's never felt so right

No I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave, but you'll be in my dreams
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Much to both of their disappointment, the kiss was broken. Sesshomaru's golden eyes stared into her hazel brown ones before they looked at her kissing bruised lips. So much was put into that kiss that was only suppose to be simple and quick. It didn't matter now. It was much too late to take it back; plus, he'd rather jump off a building than take back that kiss.

"If this is a dream, I do not wish to wake up," he whispered to her in the darkness of the room. His long, lean frame was propped up above her smaller frame. It seemed like the dream was a little bit of de`ja vu.

"I don't want to wake up either," came Rin's breathless reply. "Sessh, can I ask you something?"

"Hn," was the only reply she got as he moved to lay beside her resisting the urge to hold her.

"Did you...did you dream about me last night?" she asked unsure.

With a sigh, Sesshomaru stroked her cheek. "Hai, Rin-domo. This Sesshomaru dreamed of Rin last night. Just like he knows he will dream of her tonight."

Rin turned to face him with a shocked look. He dreamt of her last night? And he knows he's going to dream of her tonight? How is that even possible? That absolutely made no sense.

"Sessh, can you...can you stay with me tonight...and just hold me?" she plead quietly.

Wrapping his arm securely around her waist, the boy pulled the girl close to him. He would hold her. If only for tonight, he'd allow her her wish. He wouldn't leave her. The truth is is that without realizing it, he had given this doe-eyed girl his heart. And now, he was to far in to get it back. Honestly, he didn't want it back. It was safer with her than with any one else.

"Let us sleep, Rin," whispered the golden eyed boy as he closed his eyes.

Nodding her head, she followed suit. Her own eyes closed as her breathing evened out and became softer. Gently, Sesshomaru pulled the cover over them both before falling asleep himself. This would be the only night he would ever hold her. And now he could dream peacefully since she was finally in his arms. May be, just may be, one day soon he would be able to show her how much he cared for her. And if Naraku ever hurt her, he'd show her that he was better than that jerk.

The song "She Thinks She Needs Me" by Andy Griggs began to drift into the room from the stereo as Sesshomaru slowly began to fall asleep. The song was right about one thing. He couldn't live without her. She doesn't know how much he needs her, her love, her kiss, or her touch. She was his world and he just realized that as he finally passed out.

Three Months Later

"RaRa, I can't believe in two days it's summer break! Do you think that I'll be able to see you?" Rin giggled out as she hugged her best friend. Unlike Kirara thought, Rin was living tonight on a flight to Hampton, Virginia in the U.S.A. Kagura Wind, Sesshomaru's girlfriend, had paid for her to go with Sesshomaru, Naraku, and her to go to there for the summer. It was really sweet, but she was going to mess her best friend more than anything in the world.

"Of course, Rinny! I'll video chat with you every night, I promise," Kirara swore as she smiled. Oh, how she was going to miss seeing Rin. But at least her little friend was looking healthier since that night at the hotsprings when Rin dreamed about Sesshomaru. Thankfully, it was Kirara who had woke up Rin and Sesshomaru the morning they were leaving. If Naraku had seen them like that, he would have done something horrible to Rin.

"Thanks, Kira!"

"No problem, my little flower. Now get going. You need to finish packing."

"Okay.. Bye Kira!" Rin called out as she ran out of the school heading home.

That was going to be last time I saw Kirara for a full month.
The last time I saw her before I came back home with news of what Naraku
had done. How I got the guy of my dreams and how I escaped from my soon-to-be abusive
ex-boyfriend, Naraku Kaze.

A.N: Weeeeeell, what did y'all think? Please let me know D: See you all soon!
