I DON'T FUCKING OWN INUYASHA.

Rin whipped around, only to stagger into a chest.
A very male chest.
Looking up, she saw that it was, indeed, Sesshomaru Taisho, and he was wearing a nice suit.
A very nice suit.
It was black, paired with a white undershirt, the jacket unbuttoned, along with the first two buttons of the shirt undone.
A very nice suit, indeed.
Rin belatedly noticed that he donned his ebony contacts, and, as he turned to pick something up off the staircase's railing, she realized that Sesshomaru had his hair reigned into a ponytail at the nape of his neck.
A very, very nice neck... that merged into very nice shoulders, on top of a nice back... which ran lower to a very nice butt-
'CUT IT OUT, BRAIN! ISN'T HE SUPPOSED TO BE... the... evil one?' Rin faltered inwardly when Sesshomaru slipped a black jacket over her shoulders.
"It might be a bit brisk, depending on how late we stay out." He murmured.
He walked over to the front entrance, and exit, of the manor, his large hand on the small of her back, guiding her as he opened one of the doors.
Rin almost cried as she saw the stars, which seemed so close she could nearly touch them.
Her foot met the outside pavement, and a tear did slip from her eye.
Good thing she hadn't put eyeliner on, only a quick sweep of waterproof mascara.
Sesshomaru smiled. The little woman was already losing her grip on sanity, simply by being so happy. Her emotions were flipping randomly, lightning fast, so quickly that she could barely feel the change herself. She was just so excited to be outside, to be in such nice clothing, to be in such a lovely house, to be with such a gorgeous man.
He could smell the scent of madness on her, and it made his mouth water.

Rin walked into the beautiful French restaurant on Sesshomaru's arm, smiling ear-to-ear.
They spoke to the hostess about a reservation, and were seated at a widow table.
The waitress came out, and immediately sneered at the doe-eyed woman in front of the international celebrity.
After quite a few mishaps, including knocking her silverware off the table, spilling ice water in Rin's hair, and openingly flirting with the man, Sesshomaru confronted the server.
Making the worker break down and cry in front of the entire room, they took their leave.
Instead, the pair ordered ramen from a vendor in downtown Tokyo.
Slurping down another mouthful of noodles, Rin grinned at her companion.
"Ya know, I actually prefer this over escargot, any day." She gestured to her plastic bowl.
Sesshomaru cracked a smile before taking another dainty bite of his portion.
They ate in silence, leaning against the rough wall of a building, ignoring the people passing them.
"I am sorry about ruining your evening." He muttered. "I let my temper get the best of me. I should not have made that bitc- woman cry."
Rin snorted. "Please, if you hadn't started yelling, I probably would have punched her in the nose and gotten you banned from the premises forever!"
Sesshomaru laughed, starting to enjoy the night. "Where would you like to go now?"
Rin beamed. She hadn't expected him to let her choose where to visit.
She had never been on a date before, either, so she didn't really have a good idea.
"I know!" She grabbed his hand, tossing their bowls in the garbage bin by the vendor's stall, before pulling him after her.
'Amusing little thing, isn't she?' Sesshomaru's beast grinned.
'She is going mad, you know. She's been through so much in her years, and I've added on to the load with all of my antics.' He chuckled inwardly. 'She'll crack soon, and the voices will start up.'
'You only have one voice! I beat down the others, my boy. They will not bother you, anymore.' His beast growled in indignation.
'But... Do you not think she will be gorgeous? She will eventually snap. It will be beautiful.'
'Trying to turn her into you?' The carnal side chuckled.
'Something like that. A kindred spirit. She'll finally understand my mood swings.' Sesshomaru replied, amusement lacing his thought.
'There is something different about this one, pup. She's stronger than that. She's got a good grip on cruel reality. I don't believe she'll go insane.' The beast paused. 'Well, as insane as you.'
Sesshomaru contemplated that as he focused on keeping up with the woman, who was running surprisingly fast in heels. She seemed to have fantastic stamina.
'Perhaps... you are correct.' The youkai admitted.
"Here we are!" Rin's voice startled Sesshomaru back to the real world.
He glanced around himself, identifying the place as a park, the playground and benches at the center, alongside picnic tables and restrooms.
They were standing in the center of a large field of grass, slightly damp and cold from the lateness of the night.
"Why are we here?" Sesshomaru inquired, startled when Rin plopped down, not caring about ruining the dress. She kicked off her heels, pulling off the bracelet and necklace off, looping the straps of the shoes though each of them, and fastening the shoes together.
"Why not?" Rin smiled, patting the ground next to her.
'Touche.'
The demon sat, grimacing. One of his best suits was going to be ruined. He hadn't been out in the elements like this for a while.
"It's just dew. Get over it." Rin poked him in the arm, smirking.
He smirked back, pushing her off balance and face first into the wet grass.
She squeaked, jumping up.
"I challenge you to a duel!"
A duel? Was this woman already off the deep end?!
Sesshomaru raised a brow when she stalked off to the duck pond at the edge of the grass.
'Drunkards probably urinated it that water...' He frowned, getting up and following her. 'Not to mention the water fowl...'
"Ms. Tsukiko-"
He was silent when a small splash of the dirty water met his face.
"I challenged you to a duel, sir! Am I the victor so easily?" Rin said haughtily, her nose in the air, her eyes narrowed.
Sesshomaru fought his simmering temper, and scooped up a handful of the pond water, throwing it in her upturned face.
She let loose an impressive growl, quickly squatting down and running her arms through the liquid, creating a huge wave that soaked his pants and lower shirt.
"I see." He said simply, sliding out of his jacket and tossing it away.
Before Rin could blink, she was in Sesshomaru's arms, and he was holding her over the stagnant pool.
She clawed at his shoulders, but it was no use.
With a smirk, he tossed her easily into the water, enjoying himself immensely.
Pulling herself up to the surface, she groaned.
"I-I think I hurt my shoulder..." She whimpered.
'DAMN IT!' Sesshomaru roared inwardly. He had hurt her!
He wasted no time, climbing into the water quickly, approaching her carefully.
As he reached out to examine her clutched shoulder, the youkai missed her mischievous smile.
With a loud cry, Rin pounced on his shoulders, dunking him into the pond.
Clawing his way to air, Sesshomaru glared at her from behind soaked bangs.
"You claimed that you were injured."
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that women are great at fooling men?" Rin giggled, paddling toward the shore.
With two strokes, Sesshomaru reached the bank, climbing up onto land and holding a hand out to the human.
She smiled at him, gratefully taking the offered extremity. "Thanks."
Pulling her up, Sesshomaru smirked and leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to trust demons?"
With that, he pushed her back into the water, snagging his jacket from the ground and ignoring her cries of anger.
He paused in his stride and called over his shoulder at her.
"Unless you wish to catch a cold, I suggest that we head back." He smiled at her curses and heard her scrambling clumsily out of the pool.
The evening hadn't been so bad, after all.
