Pasteries
By: Arthia Maxwell
Disclaimer: I don't own Sessy or Rin, or any of the Inuyasha crew, oh well.I'm trying something new. Please read and review and tell me what you think of it. Thanks a lot. And yes I know that the title has nothing to do with the story but I like pasteries, so there! ~sticks her tongue out at the evil readers~ Now read!
It was brought to my attention, by my mother no less, that I had indeed spelt the word 'pastry' wrong. I kindly thank you for not mentioning this because I did it on purpose. If you wish to question my great genius, don't. I did this for my reasons and if I decide to share these stupid and utterly strange reasons, I will. Thank you. Okay, Okaasan, you can stop reading over my shoulder now...onegai.
"Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked softly.
"Hmm." Rin replied slowly slipping off into sleep, feeling warm and comfortable.
"What was her name?" He stroked her hair lightly, pushing several stray strains away from her face.
"Kanna." Rin muttered not thinking then falling into a peaceful sleep. Sesshoumaru's eyes widen, if he wasn't mistaken the girl killed in the park was named Kanna. He rested his chin against the crown of Rin's head. It was all starting to make since now. Rin was homeless at one point, her friend died, and her friend's name is Kanna.
The next morning Rin awoke to find herself warm and at peace. When she tried to roll over she found she couldn't, something or more like someone had tighten their hold on her and refused to move. Looking Rin found that Sesshoumaru was the one that held her and that he was still peacefully asleep. Smiling she settled back down next to him. She then set to thinking what just had happened the night before.
Sesshoumaru pulled the warm body closer to him breathing in deeply. Lilies and thyme. Sweet and spicy. He found that he liked that smell. Opening an eye he saw Rin snuggled in his arms. Dread took over his mind as he realized that he would have to tell Miroku what he had found out. Rin shifted beside him.
"Rin?"
"Yes?"
"Did I wake you?" He asked, stroking her soft hair.
"No, I've been awake for a while." She looked up at him. "I need to go make breakfast."
"Don't worry about it." At her surprised expression he couldn't help but grin. "It's just me today, and it's your day off." He grinned. He watched the play of emotions on Rin's face. "Rin, what's wrong?"
Rin looked up at him with worried eyes. "I told you didn't I?"
"You just said that your friend was gone, dead." He shook his head. "They as we were settling down I asked you who was your friend and you said Kanna." He hesitated. "I know Kanna was the name of the girl that was killed in the park." Rin gasped. So she had said something last night. "You were the extra person at that scene weren't you?"
Rin began to see that night over again and she desperately pushed against him, but found that he wasn't about to let her go. Rolling over she struggled to crawl away from him. But Sesshoumaru pulled her up against his chest, spooning her body against his. He made soothing noises and nuzzled that back of her neck. Rin couldn't stop the onslaught of tears. Sesshoumaru held her trembling body close, now wishing he hadn't said anything in the first place.
Rin finally calm down enough to speak. "Mr. Sesshoumaru."
"Just call me Sesshoumaru." He interrupted.
"Sesshoumaru," Rin started again, "I was there that night." She shuttered and Sesshoumaru reached up to cup her cheek. "I saw what had happened and who did it." She turned to look over her shoulder at him. "I don't even know why." She buried her face against the pillow, whimpering. But before Sesshoumaru could say anything a knock at the door interrupted them.
"Mr. Sesshoumaru?" Yura's worried voice came from the other side of the door.
"What is it, Yura?" He silently cursed her for interrupting them.
"You're brother called and said that he and his wife have made it to Hong Kong, and Kagura called saying that she was coming over." She seemed to hesitate then quickly continued. "And Rin isn't in her room, her bedding is everywhere." Sesshoumaru could tell that she was on the edge of tears. Sighing he looked down at the shocked and blushing Rin.
"Rin's in here." He could hear the gasp from the other side of the door. "I found her fainted in the hall last night and brought her back here." He motioned Rin to settle back down into the blankets and pretend to sleep. Once her eyes closed Sesshoumaru grabbed his robe and walked to the door. Opening it he saw not only Yura but the other two maids as well. "I wasn't quiet sure where her room was." He motioned for them to come in and see for themselves. Yura crossed the room in a matter of minutes. Sighing in relief she reached out and lightly touched Rin's sleeping face.
"I wonder what happened." She looked back at Sesshoumaru and narrowed her eyes, looking him over. "But she'll be fine." With one last lingering glare she was out the door and shooing away the other maids. Sesshoumaru had no doubt that something would be passed around but either way Yura would crush it. He then turned back to Rin, who was now watching him with uncertainty.
"Why don't we go out today." He smiled. "Where would you like to go?"
Surprised Rin asked, "Aren't you going to take me to Miroku?"
Raising an eyebrow he said, "Do you really want to go there on your day off?" She shook her head. "Besides, he'll be coming back Monday. WE," and he stressed the word, "will tell him all you know. We have to put the killers behind bars." He sat on the edge of the bed, held his head in his hands. "Do you know who did it? No, wait, don't tell me now. This is your day off and I'm going to treat you out."
Rin crawled over to him and patted him on the back. "I guess I'll tell him, if you're there, everything I know." Rin's face sadden, but she smiled anyway. Sesshoumaru nodded, then pulled his robe off and wrapping it around her. She looked questioningly up at him.
"I doubt you want to go to your room in just my shirt." He chuckled. Rin's eyes widen and she blushed deeply.
Rin ran into Yura on the way to her room. She just gave Rin a calculating look before asking, "You didn't sleep with him, did you?"
"Gods, no!" Rin swatted at Yura who just giggled and dashed off saying for her to dress warmly for the day. Rin stuck her tongue out at her and entered her room to find the bed made. Shaking her head she went to her closet and looked through her clothes. She wasn't sure what to wear. She found a tight long sleeve blue shirt that they ends spilled over onto her hands. She then pulled out a short sleeve shirt that said 'kiss the cook', a gift from Kagome. She had laughed and said that it fit her. The navy colour with the white broken lettering made her undershirt stand out. She then found her low rise jeans with the large safety pins in the front. She then pulled on her calf high boots. She grabbed her red thigh length jacket and the long blood red scarf Sango insisted she would need, grabbed up the robe. She was about to go out the door when she got a bad feeling. She returned opened up her bag and retrieved Kanna's journal and stuffed it inside.
When Rin neared the entrance hall she could hear a conversation. Swallowing she found that one of the voices was the woman from the night of Kanna's murder. She inched her way around the corner, kneeling to keep out of sight until she could see them. Sesshoumaru stood arguing with the model Kagura. Rin's eyes widen, it was the same woman.
"I told you it was over a long time ago." Sesshoumaru hissed trying to keep his voice lowered.
"What am I not good enough now? Or is it you've found some trash to fuck you now?" Kagura practically yelled back. Sesshoumaru started to turn red with anger. His hands formed fist.
"Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked softly, making her presence known and possibly stopping a full yell out. He swung around and gaped at her. She stood there twisting her hands. "I thought we were going to that zoo today." She said lying through her teeth. Kagura turned blazing eyes toward her.
"And who the fuck do you think you are?" She growled taking a step toward her. "Wait," She turned back to Sesshoumaru, "This is the wench you're fucking isn't it?" She eyed Rin again. "She's a bit young isn't she? I thought you didn't go for younger women."
Sesshoumaru stepped in front of Rin. "Go now Kagura, or I'm going to have to call the police." He glared. Kagura with lingering grin at Rin, left without another word. Sesshoumaru turned and looked back at Rin.
"Are you okay?" His eyes seemed to be checking her over for any sign of damage.
"I'm fine, but." She shook her head and said softly, "I'll tell you and Miroku everything, Monday."
"So do you really want to go to the zoo?" He raised his eyebrows. Smiling, Rin nodded. "Okay, wherever you wish to go milady." He then noticed her shirt and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What?" Rin asked confused.
Sesshoumaru leaned close to her and whispered, "Can I kiss the cook?" Surprised, Rin didn't protest as he closed the gape between them and lightly kissed her lips. Pulling away he grabbed her hand, pulling her from the house and to his car. Rin slide into the leather seat and had to fight back a fit of giggles. Sesshoumaru turned to look at her but said nothing. He drove them to the exotic zoo hoping that she had never been there before. But considering that she had been homeless he was pretty sure that she hadn't.
Sesshoumaru paid their way in and then let Rin lead them around. She smiled the whole time they were their. She had never seen so many animals in all her life. She had a certain fascination with the polar bears. She spent quite some time just watching them swim.
"I have to admit that I'm jealous of them. They love the cold, they even swim in it." She sighed.
"But they are beautiful and power creatures." Sesshoumaru said as if he was admitting that he was jealous of them as well. Rin turned and looked at him. He smiled and nodded toward the glass. When Rin turned around there was a polar bear just staring at her. Rin jumped back breaking eye contact with it, and it swam off.
Sesshoumaru led her through his favorite exhibit, the birdhouse. "I love all the colours and the variety." He said softly as they watched a peacock crossing their path.
"How old are you?" Rin asked out of the blue. He looked down at her and seemed to consider her question.
"Well, I'm twenty-four." He grinned.
Rin smiled and said, "I guess I am too young for you then." She chuckled forgetting for the moment what was to happen the next day.
"How old are you, Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked, his brows furrowing. He didn't think she was that young, or was she?
"I turn nineteen next week." She elbowed him in the arm. "See, too young, right?" Sesshoumaru just shook his head, taking mental note of her words.
"When?"
"Wednesday." She said running to the tiger exhibit to watch as the large cat paced the cage. It stilled a moment in front of her as if eyeing her then moved to pacing again. Sesshoumaru watched her. She smiled, but it never reached her eyes, her whole body seemed to sag with weariness. Hopefully what she would have to say the next day would clear up a few things for Miroku.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sorry for making you have to wait so long but I was trying to download this show called Gravitation. It's really good and I can't wait till it comes out in English. Also I was trying to finish Summer Heat for a few fans that were reading it. Now that that is done I'm going to work harder on this fic and Red and White Destiny. Hopefully I don't forget the whole plot to that one. I'm still trying to decide if it's close to what I have red elsewhere but I think I might go ahead and write it and if anyone has a problem with it I'll delete that part and try something else.
I've also been trying to work on some of my Fruits Basket fanfics. But because these stories have been taking so long I don't know how long it will be before I'm able to update or post any more of those. Well Ja ne! R+R!
