Hey there friends! I'm back with another chapter that's loaded with more Sesshomaru and Rin angst, just how you like it. Sound good? I thought so. Thank you for all who reviewed! I can't believe I've hit 100 reviews before I even have ten chapters! So, in thanks here is an extra long dramatic update to everyone's favorite fiction: 'Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year'. YIPEE!

OH! Before I forget, this chapter contains something most of you have been waiting for! But, I'll let you read and find out. XP

Another Note- I've decided to discontinue my 'Shout Out Corner' and just give my responses to everyone in a nutshell. It was getting crazy replying to 20 people or so, and still managing to forget about someone, so yeah, thanks for reading and all.

EVERYONE- Thanks again for all of the amazing reviews and support you've given me thus far. I love hearing from you and all of your comments make me laugh, from calling Anani a psycho bitch to Sesshomaru a fine as hell piece of ass. LMAO! Anywho, I just wanted to thank everyone who wished me luck with my horse show. My horses and I (I showed Jackie and Ty-Ty) either won or got second in everything we competed in. We are major ass kickers. WOOHOO! So, yeah, in dedication to Anani being gone and my horses and I kicking ass, I am about to deliver to you my longest chapter yet.

XOXO-

Me

Crushes and Blushes

"AWW RIN!" Kagura cried into her little sister's shoulder while Rin blushed slightly. People were starting to stare again as her sister went into hysterics.

"Kagura, honey, it'll be fine. We'll see her again soon; you can talk to her on the phone every single day if you want to. There is no need to cry." Shin tried desperately to calm his fiancé down to no avail. She only started to cry harder, making Rin's shirt look like a washcloth.

"But I don't want her to have to go back to that awful place she calls home. I don't want her to have to leave." Kagura was whining now and the flight attendants were calling for final boarding. The trio had been at this for almost an hour, Shin and Rin fighting Kagura who kept trying to cancel Rin's ticket back to Laguna.

"I'll be fine sissy, don't worry. I'll call you all the time and if things get rough again, I'll always have Inuyasha to go to." She smiled reassuringly as she adjusted her bag's shoulder strap.

"Oh, alright. Be safe Rin, do you promise?" her voice was still thick with the tears that threatened to fall and her whole face was bright red.

"Swear it," Rin wrapped her arms around her sister a last time and then gave Shin a quick hug, "Take care of her okay?" she jerked her head towards Kagura who was mopping her eyes with a Kleenex. Shin smiled and nodded.

"You'd better get going Rin, or Kagura will get her wish of having you stay longer." He gave her a fatherly shove towards the terminal.

"Bye!" she called over her shoulder as she walked into the boarding area where a few stragglers were boarding.

"I LOVE YOU RIN!" Kagura bellowed right before Rin entered the tunnel to get onto the plane; people looked around again at Rin's older sister.

"SWEAR IT?" She roared back, wiping a bit of moisture from the corner of her eye.

XOXO

"How was your flight?" Mrs. Shoma asked her daughter quietly on the drive home from the airport.

"It was good I guess." Rin shrugged. She didn't really feel like elaborating about the disgusting airplane food and the fat guy, who was clearly drooling over her, she had to sit next to.

"That's good. Did you have a good time with Kagura?"

"Yes. I didn't even get hit once." She sneered and to her pleasure, she saw her mother visibly stiffen.

"Rin, it isn't any of my business to get into what goes on between your father and you." She said quietly while Rin snorted.

"Okay, so if he kills me or puts me in the hospital, it is none of your concern because it was between my father and I?" she asked viciously.

"That's not what I meant Rin and you know it." She replied simply Rin remained silent, looking out the window. It had started to rain again.

The car rolled slowly into the driveway and Rin was out of the car before her mother had even killed the engine. She grabbed her bags from the trunk and headed towards the house. She groaned when she entered.

"Rin." He wasn't calling her name to talk to her; it was a greeting in his mind.

"Father." She mimicked as she passed him on the way to her room. She was trying to avoid any unnecessary contact with him.

He said no more and neither did she. Rin was left to her own devices as she climbed the stairs and entered her room to unpack. Only her room was already being occupied by someone.

The boy was leaning against her bay window with ease and was wearing a tight black tee shirt that flaunted every curve and muscle on his torso, a pair of faded loosely fitting Abercrombie jeans and white and black Vans. His hair hung freely down his back and his magenta facial markings stood out like sexy tribal war paint on his radiant face.

He really was a god.

"Sesshomaru!" she gasped and cocked her head to the side. He was somewhat drenched and had a gorgeous crooked smile plastered across his features.

"Well Rin, I wasn't expecting you here, what a surprise." Sesshomaru crossed the room and pulled her into a hug. Despite the fact that he was wet with rain water, he was warm to the touch. As soon as he had pulled her into the hug, he let her go. That left him looking at her with scrutiny, his hands resting firmly on her shoulders.

"What does that mean? Do you sneak into my room and sit on my bead on a regular basis?" she asked trying to make a joke, but she ended up failing miserably.

"Calm yourself. It was just a joke," His eyes never left hers as he inhaled sharply; "I missed you Rin, and you look wonderful, I really don't know how I lasted without your beautiful in my life for as long as I did." Rin's heart started beating quicker than she ever thought possible as she succumbed to his penetrating eyes and blushed, looking down at her carpeted floor.

He hadn't lied. She was wearing a tight pink Abercrombie Henley with a frayed mini skirt, silver and pink striped legging s and metallic silver ballet flats. Her hair was secured to the side in loose waves.

"Really?" it was a feeble attempt at trying to sound coy. Sesshomaru could see right through her façade and nodded, apparently lost in thought, and then his expression brightened.

"I have something to show you," He pulled her across the room to her window, "This is how I got in without your dear parents knowing I was here." Sesshomaru Tashio opened the window to reveal what looked like a twenty foot drop.

"You. Are. Insane." She forced out. There was no way in hell she was going to jump out of a window on the second floor of her house for him.

"Ah Rin, I figured you would react this way." He then proceeded to wrap his strong arms around her waist and he jumped out the window himself. He landed gracefully and let her out of his arms gently.

"I'll repeat myself again: You. Are. Insane." She was smiling this time, so the insult was not taken literally.

"Yes, but the women like a dangerous sort of man. Right?" he questioned cocking his head to the side as he led her towards his concealed car.

"Yes, but we like a dangerous man, not a suicidal one." She corrected and he let out his smooth laugh that she had missed so much about him.

"Well, neither I nor you are dead yet, so I'd say I'm not suicidal or homicidal for that matter. Yet anyway." He grinned at her and she shook her head at his strange sense of humor.

"I cannot believe this weather! It was like this for most of the time I was in New York, and I was expecting sun when I got back, but no, I get rainy shit weather." Rin mentally slapped herself. She was talking about the weather. When they had been on speaking terms, Kagome had been right: Rin was hopeless at dating.

Sesshomaru nodded thoughtfully, "At least its warmer here," He pointed out and she nodded, "I'm glad to have you back Rin, even if the weather is bad." He smiled at her blush.

"Wh-where is this place you want to take me?" Rin asked him, stumbling over her words as Sesshomaru started to drive.

"That is for me to know and for you to find out Rinny darling." She cringed at the pet name.

"UGH! If you get to call me 'Rinny' I should be able to call you something adorably sickening!" she cried savagely.

"What do you have in mind? If you really had to choose something, I'd pick 'Sex Kitten' because that is what I am." Sesshomaru let out a purr that Rin thought was utterly delicious, but to cover that light fact up, she just rolled her eyes at him.

"Right, I was thinking something more along the lines 'Sessy Poo' or 'Cutie Pie' or maybe even 'Dearest Cupcake'." The look on his face was priceless as she rattled off the absurd, yet, possible nicknames.

"No." there was an edge in his voice and Rin rolled her eyes again. He couldn't think she was serious.

"Je-sus Sesshomaru. Clam yourself. It was only a joke." Rin replied in a low voice, with a meager attempt at sounding like him. He nodded absent mindedly. Rin giggled at his stupidity. He really had taken her seriously.

"Hmm… what can you call me that won't kill my reputation if it gets out?"

"I dunno I like Sesshy, or possibly Fluffy." She laughed and he rolled his eyes.

He pulled a disgusted face, "If you wish." He laughed and she smiled at she looked out the rain streaked window.

"Are we almost there?" she asked, trying to change the subject. He just nodded again.

"Maybe in five minutes, he shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not exactly sure."

"WHAT!" She shrieked, "We could be lost Sesshomaru Tashio, and you don't even know! UGH! MEN!" she was panicking and Sesshomaru found himself slightly turned on by her anxiety. He wondered for a moment if she would kiss him with that much desperation…

"Calm down. We're here." He said quietly and she immediately sighed in relief.

"Good, because I was about to pummel you." She threatened, and for some reason, Sesshomaru found himself believing she would have tried to kick his ass.

He liked that.

XOXO

"Oh, wow Sesshomaru, its beautiful!" Rin exclaimed. At first Sesshomaru had been wary if he should bring her there, because if she didn't like the ocean or nature, she was bound to hate this place, especially since it was raining.

"I hoped you'd like it." He smiled at her as she twirled around in the sand laughing as the rain beat onto her like wet bullets.

Rin wasn't listening to him. She was looking at the ocean, monster waves were brewing everywhere and the starry horizon way off glowed prettily; where they were, the wind rushed, thunder growled and lightening struck dangerously close around them.

She smiled distantly and sat beside him on a big boulder shaded by a tree; so not as much rain hit them. Rin sighed and Sesshomaru smiled at her contentment, "Are you enjoying yourself?" he whispered the question in her ear.

He could see her quiver as his hot breath touched her ear. All she could do was nod, he smirked to himself; if she hadn't admitted to him that she liked him, it wouldn't have taken long to make her see the error of her decision making.

They watched the waves for a while longer. Every now and then Rin would gasp as a big wave broke or a loud roll of thunder was heard. Whenever that happened, Sesshomaru would wrap his arm tighter around her and she would collapse into his one armed embrace.

This was his hiding place, where he got away from reality. People didn't surf here because the rocks underneath the water were too jagged and tourists didn't come here because it really wasn't the type of place you would swim in. He hadn't shown this secret area to anyone but her and he trusted that she appreciated it.

He looked down at her to see that she was looking up at him, happiness and lust sparkled in her eyes, "Sessho-"

He cut her off by crashing his lips onto her own. Passion had made him desperate, he wondered vaguely if she was afraid of kissing him. It was a sweet closed-mouthed kiss. Sesshomaru ended it a few moments after he had registered what he had done. Rin was staring at him, looking shell-shocked. Or star-struck. Maybe it was a mixture of both. He smiled at her and when she didn't return it, he realized it had been an error for him to kiss her.

He opened his mouth to apologize, but she grabbed his soaked shirt and pulled his mouth down onto hers once again. She didn't hesitate to open her mouth and submitted to his ministrations. He took his lips off of hers and to his satisfaction earned a whimper. He made a trail of hot, opened mouthed kisses from her mouth to her ear to her neck while she panted and whispered his name. While he sucked on her neck, she entangled her fingers in that beautiful silver mane she loved so much.

He moved down lower and quickly unbuttoned the last few buttons of her Henley. Her bra and cleavage were poking out teasingly and he wanted so badly to rip her shirt off, but he knew he must control his urges and emotions or he would scare her off. He made his way back up to her mouth and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. He released her and smiled at her reddened face.

"I love it when you blush Rin." Sesshomaru whispered huskily.

Rin was still fighting to catch her breath.

XOXO

Sesshomaru had just kissed her. Sesshomaru Tashio had just kissed her. No, he hadn't just kissed her; he had blown her mind with the best set of kisses she'd experienced in her whole life.

Maybe she'd have to start calling him 'Sex Kitten' after all.

XOXO

Sesshomaru laughed at her. She was staring at him as though she had never seen him before. She continued to stare at him and then looked to the sand then back to him.

She repeated this process many times until she closed her eyes. A bit later Rin opened her oceanic pools; they were shining with an intensity that he had never seen before.

What was she so passionate about?

Besides him of course.

"YOU ASSHOLE!" she screamed. Sesshomaru swore he felt the earth shake beneath him.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU! YOU KISSED ME AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK MY PERMISSION! HOW COULD YOU! YOU MEN ARE ALL THE SAME AND YOU ALL HAVE YOUR MINDS WHERE THEY DON'T BELONG… THE FUCKING GUTTER! UGH!" Rin paused to draw a long breath.

"Well, you seemed to enjoy it. Besides, who was the one who pulled me down onto them like some desperate fan-girl?" Sesshomaru said coyly, trying to suppress the laughter that was building up inside of him.

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT! YOU DIDN'T ASK MY PERMISSION, YOU INVAD-"

Sesshomaru pressed a finger to her lips and she shut them immediately, quaking underneath him, "Rin, may I kiss you again?" he asked her ceremoniously.

Rin nodded numbly, and Sesshomaru pressed his lips onto hers in a soft manner; it was almost as if their lips weren't touching at all. He slipped a hand under her shirt and rubbed the small of her back, causing her to arch it. That deepened the kiss all without him doing a thing.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Sesshomaru ended the engaging kiss, only to find Rin beaming at him. Her happy demeanor was back, even though the rain tumbled from the heavens and onto them.

"'Bout time you asked."

XOXO

"RIN! You're back!" it had been two weeks since Sesshomaru had kissed her as Rin Shoma pushed herself through the double doors of her high school wearily.

"Hi Kagome. Sango." She nodded at the two girls and made a move to get by them, but they stood in her path.

"OH RIN! I just want to apologize for everything I did and said to you. I should have listened to you. I was so in love with Inuyasha, I couldn't bring myself to believe that he was the one in love with you. I'm sorry I called you all of those horrible things. I am so sorry." Kagome had started to ramble, so Sango had elbowed her in the ribs. Kagome beamed at Rin while tears streamed down her face.

"I forgive you Kagome; there are times when we are all blinded by love." Rin had to force the giddiness that was bubbling up inside of her, first she had gotten Sesshomaru Tashio and now, she had her best friend back. Rin wrapped her arms around Kagome and Sango both, they were all now crying.

Sometimes, it's just really good to let it all out.

XOXO

"Then, after he had gotten me to admit that I liked him while I was in New York, he was in my room when I arrived and he took me to the beautiful beach, and then…" she paused trying to create suspense as Kagome and Sango looked to her as if she had the answer to the meaning to life, "Then, he kissed me. I kissed him back, and then… I flipped on him because he kissed me without asking-"

"RIN YOU DOLT!" Sango screamed and half of the cafeteria went silent, they were all staring at the trio of girls and the one boy sitting at the table with them.

"- so then he asked if he could kiss me, and of course I agreed, and we kissed again. Then he took me home, and I was on a Sesshomaru Tashio high." Rin finished her story as though Sango hadn't just called her a dolt. She was beaming, despite the fact that Inuyasha had pulled a pained face and was making disgusted noises.

Rin then rounded on Inuyasha, "Just where is your brother today?"

"How the hell should I know, now that I got my own car, I have no reason to communicate with that preppy faggot." Inuyasha was one to talk, for his choice of attire for the day was a pink polo shirt, with a popped collar, and plaid red and white shorts. With brown leather flip flops.

"Ugh, Inuyasha, come on. You can be nicer than that," Kagome shot him her mega-watt smile and he immediately turned to mush, and suddenly found his hamburger very interesting. She turned to Rin, "So, are you two dating, or what?"

Rin pondered on her answer for a moment, "Well, now that you mention it, he didn't ask me to be his girlfriend, but being with him just felt so right." She sighed mellow dramatically and the other two girls exchanged dark looks.

"That's not right of him Rin. If he was to kiss you, then he should have asked you to be his girlfriend." Sango said gently, putting her hand on Rin's arm in a motherly fashion.

"No, he shouldn't have to; maybe I like just kissing him with no commitment." But Rin's face had given her away. She looked so crestfallen and alone.

Kagome glared at nothing in particular while Inuyasha made his way out of the cafeteria, afraid that he was about to hit something. Sango's knuckles had turned white as she clutched the table with all if her being.

Rin suddenly realized all of the trouble she had just caused her best friends, "Oh! You guys!" she pulled on her signature smile and waved her hands in front of her face, "It's no big deal, don't ever worry about me, 'kay? I'll be fine, but I have to get going to class, early, because I have to, uh, hand in some of my school work that I forgot to give to my crazed Bio. teacher. I'll see you both later." Rin was trying to be cheerful and her friends pulled smiles themselves, so she turned on her heel and sauntered out of the lunchroom.

"You know she's going to the bathroom closest to her locker to sob her eyes out, right?" Sango asked Kagome, her eyes piercing and cold just thinking about Sesshomaru.

"Yes. Should we go after her?" Kagome asked, her own gray eyes were shining with concern for Rin, but her lips were drawn into a tight line.

"No. She wants to be alone, or else she would have had us come with her. You heard her yourself; she doesn't want to cause us any trouble. She's obviously pained."

"We have to get her over Sesshomaru, but how?" Kagome asked no one in particular as Sango slammed her head onto the table in exasperation.

"I have the solution to that problem." A cheerful voice sounded from right behind them.

XOXO

The bell had just rang, signaling the end of class. It also signaled the end of Rin's torturous day. She gathered her books and stormed into the ever crowded hall, heading in the direction of her locker. Her face was set and people knew better than to mess with her.

She slammed the locker door shut seconds later and walked out of the school building. The sun was shining brightly, as if to mock her mood. Whenever she was happy, it was never there to shine, but when she was sad or pissed off to no end, there it was, beating down on her.

"Rin!" Inuyasha called, waving to her. She ignored him with difficulty. Rin had wanted to march right over to him and praise him on his wonderful taste in cars and brothers. His car was a brand new cherry red BMW and his brother was the Great Sesshomaru Tashio.

Rin scanned the crowd of people, looking for another silver head, and when she could fine none, she sighed in defeat.

"Looking for someone?" that voice could only belong to one person.

"SESSHOMARU!" she squealed gleefully, throwing her arms around him, forgetting she had any composure or dignity.

"RIN!" he attempted a squeal, but it came out as a masculine squeak (is that possible?) and Rin let go of him, beaming."

"Need a ride?" he asked, looking utterly fabulous in a navy blue Hurley tee and tight dark jeans. She scowled at his hair though, he had it tied back and she hated it like that. He just didn't look Sesshomaruish enough for her.

"No, I cannot be seen with a man who wears their hair like I did today." She said and pointed to her head where a ponytail of her own was visible, still smiling as he feigned looking appalled.

"You're just jealous because I pull it off better than you." His comeback was feeble, but he poked her in the side, making her squirm.

"True." She admitted reaching up behind his head and pulled the elastic band out that secured it. She ruffled his silver locks and nodded her approval, "Better." She stood on her tip-toes and placed a small kiss on his lips.

Sesshomaru grabbed her hand roughly and hauled her towards his car while she laughed lightly behind him. She had seen it, even though he had tried to cover it up by marching away from her. He had been blushing.

He opened the passenger's side door of his Porsche and gestured for her to get in. She made a big show of getting in trying to act all lady-like and high class. He snorted at this and she just beamed as he shut the door.

Sesshomaru got in and started the engine, "So," Rin started carefully, "Where were you today?" she asked.

"There was a big party last night and I stayed up late, so I skipped out today." That made Rin pout.

"You skipped out to sleep? So not fair!" she continued to pout and he laughed at her.

Rin kept trying to prod information out of him about this party, but he wouldn't say anything else, so she remained silent, trying to defy him into telling her. It didn't work and the rest of the ride only contained the voices of singers on the XM radio.

The silver car pulled up next to the curb in front of Rin's house. Rin stared out the window in horror. He was outside watching her with a scary sort of intensity.

"Rin." Sesshomaru spoke her name happily. She turned towards him, fear evident in her eyes, he didn't notice though as he planted his warm mouth on to her own. She pulled back from him and he looked at her, his eyes narrowing. He didn't have time to question her antics though.

"Get your ass out of the car Rin, before I make you."

"Who the hell are you?" Sesshomaru asked rudely, clearly upset that this redneck had touched his prized car and demanded something out of his Rin.

Rin took in a sharp breath, trying to tell Sesshomaru to shut up with her eyes, but the attempt was fruitless, for he only had eyes for Rin's father at the moment, unbeknownst to Sesshomaru of course.

"I am her goddamned father you prick. The question is who the hell are you, kissing my daughter?"

"Well, if she's your daughter, you shouldn't be talking to her in that manner." Sesshomaru replied regally as he disregarded the man's pervious question.

"I can talk to her however the hell I want to. She's mine until she's eighteen, and then her ass is going to be out on the street."

Sesshomaru opened his mouth to reply something, but Rin clapped her hand over his mouth, "no Sesshomaru." She hissed through her teeth.

Her father's unshaven face showed some recognition, "OH! You're Rin's fuck buddy aren't you?" he grinned with sickening delight.

"He is not-" Rin began, feeling indignant. She didn't want Sesshomaru to get hurt because of her. She could take it, but if his beautiful face was to be marred, she just wouldn't be able to stand it.

"Stop Rin." Sesshomaru commanded calmly. He then turned to Mr. Shoma, "Your false accusations are disgusting to me, Rin is nothing like that and you should show more respect for your daughter than that. She is an amazing person and if you were sober once in a while, I bet you would realize that." Rin gazed at Sesshomaru with tears in her eyes.

No one, and she meant no one, had ever spoken about her like that, especially to her father. By the look on his face, no one had ever spoken to him like that either. He was now a deep shade of red. Sesshomaru, on the other hand, looked more malicious than Rin had ever seen him.

Her father turned his gaze to Rin, "Come Rin." He demanded.

"Don't Rin." Sesshomaru placed a hand on her arm protectively. She looked between the two men with fearful eyes.

She dropped her stare to her lap, "I have to Sesshy." The use of the nickname he hadn't really liked had the desired effect on him. He loosened his grip on her arm and she slid out of the passenger's seat and was standing beside her father looking more terrified than Sesshomaru had ever seen her.

"Rin…" his voice trailed off as he looked at her. Her father had now wrenched her arm into an odd angle and Rin's face now not only looked terrified, but pained too.

"Let her go you asshole." Sesshomaru demanded, getting out of his car.

"No Sesshomaru." Rin moaned quietly. She knew he could hear her, and she hoped he'd listen to her pleas.

"We are going into the house Rin," he then turned to Sesshomaru, "And you, boy, are to leave my daughter alone."

"Only if you leave her alone first." Sesshomaru longed to punch the old bastard, but he knew that wouldn't go over well with Rin or the police.

Rin grimaced at Sesshomaru and walked solemnly into the house. Sesshomaru made a move to follow her into the quaint two-story home, but his path was blocked by a man who smelled like gin, Bud Light, and by his smell andappearance, hadn't showered in at least a week. It killed his senses.

"Rin…" Sesshomaru waited for her to look back before she closed the front door, she paused but didn't look back, "Be safe."

She closed the door, but right before she did she whispered, "Only if you swear it first."

XOXO

"Okay Anani, what do you have in mind?" Sango asked over a large bowl of popcorn. The trio were sitting cross legged on Kagome's spacious bed. They had been talking about trivial things such as boys and the teachers they hated, but Sango had finally decided that it was about time they got down to business.

"Well, you both agree with me that Sesshomaru and Rin are all wrong together, right?" Anani asked them seriously. The other two girls exchanged sheepish looks.

"Well, we actually think they look adorable together, it's just…" Kagome trailed off, trying to think of a way to put her words together right.

"You don't think he deserves her, with the way he treats her, right?" the two girls nodded, brightening slightly, "Well, before I elaborate on my plan, I think you should know why I'm doing this. Sesshomaru and I had been dating for a while, but suddenly, he started to avoid me, and he was turning into a jerk. He was hurting me and in the end of our relationship, he admitted that he was only using me to get into my pants, and when I didn't comply, he just figured he'd get an easier girl to manipulate, and it didn't matter who it was. I don't want anyone to have to have that fate." Anani faked a sob and Kagome and Sango wrapped their arms around her.

"Now way in hell is he gonna fuck with our Rin like that. He has fan-girls that would fuck him easy, like that stupid Kinky-Hoe bitch." Sango had slipped back into her native tongue, which was cursing to no end.

"What's your plan Anani?" Kagome asked, feeling exactly how Sango was. A rage coursed through her like never before.

"Well, I figured they already have trust issues, so you keep persuading Rin to stay away from him, like if she goes over to Sesshomaru's house, get Inuyasha to join them for the movie or whatever. If you tell him what his dear brother's motives are, he'll act in accordance with our plan. So, after we smear Sesshomaru's image enough in Rin's eyes, we just sell a tabloid magazine a picture of him kissing some girl, Rin will fall for it. No offence to her or anything, but she is pretty gullible." Anani sighed, feigning depression about Sesshomaru's accused 'promiscuous wantings'.

Kagome and Sango exchanged brief looks and nodded to each other, "We have to protect Rin, from that scumbag and herself. We have a deal." Kagome said sadly.

"Cheers." Anani beamed, holding up her Diet Coke to a toast that Kagome and Sango didn't partake in.

XOXO

"Rin." He breathed her name as he looked up at his boringly white ceiling. He was so mad at himself; he hadn't been able to protect her from her own father. He felt pathetic and weak. The two things he had always considered himself to the opposite of.

Inutashio popped his head into Sesshomaru's room, "You left your cell phone downstairs. You have a call." He said, beaming knowingly as he tossed the Razr to his eldest son.

"Yo."

"Yo yourself Fluffy." Rin giggled in his ear.

Sesshomaru practically jumped off of his bed, "Rin, you… are you… you're fine, right?" he tried to find the right phrase to display his emotions for her without him feeling like a whiner or a baby for that matter.

"I'm fine Sesshomaru Tashio, and the next time my father asks you to leave, do it, I was so worried you were going to be hurt." Rin's worried voice rang in his ear and he immediately felt guilty. He had made her feel dire.

"There won't be a next time Rin, maybe I shouldn't take you home anymore, if that's what's going to happen every time I do."

"NO! That's not true, it was a onetime thing, I swear." Her voice was pleading.

"Maybe, we should just have Inuyasha take you home for the next couple weeks, you haven't been talking to him like you should be anyway." Sesshomaru tried to be reasonable, but he heard Rin's deep breathing in and out; she was trying to keep herself from crying.

"Rin, I didn't mean it like that, this Sesshomaru is sorry."

"Do-don't y-y-you love m-ee?" her voice was cracking and breaking. Sesshomaru felt even worse than before.

"Yes Rin," He sounded impatient, "I just don't want you to get hurt is all."

"I'm sorry if you find me annoying, I'll leave you alone Sesshomaru Tashio, you can just get back to being you're brooding assholeish self. Maybe you can pull the stick out of your ass while you're at it." She spat, now having a full-blown crying session. There was a click sound and then a dial tone. Sesshomaru snapped his own phone shut.

"Well, that went well Sesshomaru."

XOXO

"Hmfp, eat your heart out Sesshomaru Tashio." Rin said to the world as she looked at herself smugly in the mirror.

She was wearing a tight gray American Eagle tee shirt and low rise ultra faded Hollister jeans. Her clothes made her look like one of those girls who, by just looking at them, took a hit at your self esteem. They were simple, but she worked them out. Her feet were adorned with her white and pink floral print Etnies. For eye makeup, she had chosen tons of coal black and gray shades, making hers eyes look smokier and icier than ever 'Just like his heart.' She thought bitterly. Her lips were dabbed with a bronze/pink gloss and her bronze/pink Lancome blush made her cheeks the exact color he loved them to be.

She had on her Chanel set on her ears and neck again. In her earlobes were the real diamonds she had received from her sister and Rin had poked her belly button ring into navel, so it poked out suggestively through her shirt. Her hair was in a pouf and a loose ponytail that collected together at the middle of the back of her head. She beamed as she spritzed on her signature sent, sandalwood mixed with jasmine.

She was ready to face him as she greeted Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha as she climbed into the back of the cherry colored BMW. Today was going to be a great day.

She walked slowly down the stairs and her mother beamed at her, "Good morning Rin! You look wonderful."

Rin smiled as her father muttered about her looking like a 'crazy emo gothic freak just like her supposed boyfriend, who wears too tight of pants most of the time'. Her mother caught the word 'boyfriend' and looked at Rin, her eyes shining with delight.

"Rin! Spill." She demanded, sounding like a high school girl again.

Rin giggled at her mother, "Two words mommy: Sesshomaru Tashio."

Her mother's jaw dropped open, "…"

"I know right?" Rin asked jokingly as Inuyasha's car pulled up beside the curb, "I got to go, see you tonight." She winked and waved as she exited out the front door.

"Hey Yashie!" she squealed happily as she jumped into his car. Rin was trying to hide the fact that she was slightly disappointed with the fact that she had to ride with him instead of his older half-brother.

"Hey there Rinny." He greeted nonchalantly as he took off towards the school.

"Hi. Are we picking up Kagome? Or how about Sango?" she asked him, studying the younger Tashio. He was wearing a white tee shirt with loose fitting jeans and white and blue Nike shox.

"No, Kagome decided to ride with Sango, and besides," he locked his amber eyes with hers, "I need to talk to you."

"Uh, about what?" Rin asked, feeling nervous.

"You and my dear half-brother." He said, glaring.

"Oh, well, what about that then?"

"You need to break up with him."

"Why Inuyasha? I like him a lot, and I finally got him to admit that he likes me right back! Why would I mess that up Inuyasha?"

"No Rin, the question is why would he mess that up?" Inuyasha asked, pulling into the student parking lot.

"You're not making sense, he likes me." She repeated, not wanting to believe that Sesshomaru could mess anything up.

Inuyasha's shoulders heaved, "I just have your best interests at heart Rin, and I just wanted you to know that."

That's when Rin started bawling, "INUYASHA! We're fighting already, we're not even dating and Kagome and Sango just think he's using me as a friends with benefits kind of thing, and the truth is…" she trailed off and Inuyasha cocked his head to the side, she broke into a whisper, "I… I think they're right."

XOXO

OMG! Well, there you go a sort of cliffhanger thing. You all thought Anani was gone for good, didn't you, but THE BITCH IS BACK! And now, she's trying to tear Rin and Sesshy's newfound relationship apart! She really needs to get a life, not even kidding.

And, Rin's dad couldn't stay out of the assholeish picture for long, could he? NO! I seriously think he and Anani should hook up and be assholeish bitches together, sound good? Not really huh? Oh well…

Thanks for reading and please review this crazy as hell chapter.

Love you bunches!
