Under the Cherry Blossoms: A Rin x Sesshoumaru fic
Chapter 6: The Familiar Blush of a Human Girl Under the Cherry Blossoms
Part 18: Bath: Rin
Rin laughed as she walked through the forest, looking up at the streams of golden light filtering through the forest treetops. The sun's rays felt so warm, warmer and more comforting than ever before.
'I must be the luckiest girl alive.' She thought.
The walk was short and soon Rin discovered the clearing in the forest in which the hot spring was concealed. Rin walked up to its edge and untied her obi, then Sesshoumaru's ribbon, and then her kimono and everything underneath. She stepped into the hot water and let out a sigh.
"Mm. Feels great." She said aloud and then ducked under the water. She swam and bathed in the water with the held of her knowledge of plants. Some plants that grew out of the rocks and some stray Sakura petals crushed and mixed together made an excellent conditioner for her hair. It gave her hair that smooth, silky, soft appearance that made it smell great too. She washed it out of her hair and leaned back against the porous rock, closing her eyes. There was a faint rustle in the tree, but when Rin turned to look, nothing was there. She then turned back to the water and was horrified to see a pair of blood red eyes looking into hers.
Rin tried to take a step back but couldn't, since she was against the wall of rock. She saw what was before her. A slimy, green, disgusting water imp, known as a kappa. He made some kind of laughing noise that sounded high pitched and crackly [Think Malik from dubbed Yuugiou xD] and held up a webbed hand decorated with nice pointy claws, bearing down to her neck.
"Kyaaaah! Sesshoumaru-Sama!" She screamed as she closed her eyes, ducking under the water and kicked off the rock wall. The claws slashed at the rock, breaking it open, sending boiling hot water onto the water youkai. Rin kicked and swam as fast as she could, getting away from the hot, searing, water, hearing only his shrill scream of agony as the water melted him away. Sesshoumaru, Rin soon saw as she surfaced, had just arrived at the scene.
"Rin!" She shouted and jumped right into the water, looking towards the kappa, guarding Rin behind him. He didn't even look back, only sent forth a blazing yellow whip at the kappa in which in split in two. Rin stood amazed for a moment, a little shocked too, but when the fact that she wasn't wearing her kimono crossed her mind, she let out a small scream and ducked under the water, starting to scoot back.
"Rin, you are to." he started but stopped dead in his tracks once he had turned to Rin. Then it hit him. He was soaking wet and Rin had no clothes on.
"Ah.. Um. Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama for saving my life. but you can go now." She managed to speak., hiding behind an array of rocks, poking her head out. Sesshoumaru stared at her, although he really couldn't see much with her behind the rocks.
"I will wait until you are done." He said and stood there, the water up a little past his waist. Rin looked at him with shock, and felt a familiar warm sensation crawl over her face. And she new it wasn't the water that was hot.
"C-Can you turn around?" She stammered and lowered her head behind the rocks.
"I need to watch you. There may be more youkai." Sesshoumaru said calmly and started to walk over to the rocks in which Rin hid behind.
Part 19: Line: Sesshoumaru
Sesshoumaru was drawn to Rin like a magnet. His youkai senses were going crazy and were picking up every little movement that Rin created, it only sending him closer. Rin's eyes darted up to him as her face turned vermillion. Every spark of fear, nervousness, and that oh-so-sweet scent of warm blush, sent his senses haywire. The youkai lord could only succumb to his instincts.
"Se-Sesshoumaru-Sama." She said nervously and ducked deeper under the rocks.
"What is it, Rin?" He asked smoothly.
"I can't take a bath when you're watching me like that!" She said and stressed words all 'nice and clear'.
"Why not?" He asked, amused by her reactions.
"It's embarrassing." She mumbled and turned her back to the rock, sliding down until the water reached her eyes.
"How so?"
"..." Rin didn't reply. Sesshoumaru raised a brow. He then moved around the rocks to find a wide eyed Rin. with no kimono on. [O-o;] She backed up into the corner.
"Sesshou----maru-Sama!" She cried as she looked up to him with flustered eyes.
"What, Rin, is it now?" He asked bored, yet drawing nearer at the same time.
"Go away! Shoo! Go! Leeeaaaaveee!" She urged, splashing water at him.
".Do not splash me, Rin." He said, now a little annoyed that his hair was wet and that he probable would now smell like wet dog youkai. She splashed some more. She stopped and stared at him and laughed a bit. A few seconds passed before she laughed a bit more. then more. and more.
"Tell me what is so amusing to you." He said, but she only laughed harder. "y-y-y-y" she ducked under the water but couldn't help but laugh under the water anyways. She came back up, face red, trying to speak.
"Y-your hair.and. you look. all. fuzzy!" She blurted out and laughed some more. Sesshoumaru let out a grin, and walked towards her.
"I am Sesshoumaru. Youkai of the West, Not. fuzzy." He said warningly, but he was just joking anyways. Rin shook her head.
"No, not fuzzy. You're Fluffy-Sama, don't-cha know!" she giggled. Sesshoumaru took her wrists gently and pushed her back up against the rock. She didn't seem to notice, her head was turned to the side, eyes closed, laughing softly still, face flushed from her outburst of laughter.
"If I'm fluffy, Rin, enlighten me. Do I do fluffy things?" He now said in a deeper tone and leaned into her face. Rin's head turned.
"Huh?" She asked before she found herself less than a centimeter from his face. Sesshoumaru paused. Maybe it was the last piece of sanity that stopped him. He dropped her wrists and jumped out of the water. Rin blinked and ducked down into the water again.
"Rin. The sun will soon be down. Come." He said in that strong, commanding voice. Sesshoumaru would not feel awkward, even if Rin looked at him strangely a million times. He was Sesshoumaru, her master. She was a human, he was a youkai. He couldn't cross that line as he almost did and he wouldn't allow himself to forget it again. It was just plain. WRONG! This was Rin! Little, baby, human girl Rin! The teenaged villager girl! This was absolutely absurd, Sesshoumaru thought. He cared for her, yes. But this was little Rin we were talking about! He turned his back and spoke one more time.
"Hurry Back." And then he disappeared.
Part 20: Makeover: Rin
Rin fastened her obi, pulling it tightly, a bit angrily, she wasn't really angry though.. She was confused. But not really confused either.She was upset. but not. really. She felt. a bit determined. Determined to be close to Sesshoumari as possible. without being close.
"Maybe I'm just frustrated. What the heck did Sesshoumaru-Sama just do!? What did I do? I did absolutely nothing! Does that mean I'm in." he voice trailed as she dropped her hands to her sides.
"No way. No way, Rin. Sesshoumaru-Sama is. Sesshoumaru-Sama! He's my master for miko's sake! Honestly! Those Sakura are getting to my head." She mumbled as she tied her ribbon in her hair, miko style.
"I. really hate this kimono." She said as she looked down at the peach kimono that Taroku had hand-picked. Rin sat down on one of the warm rocks and placed her chin in her palms and looked around.
"Oh my, Rin-Chan, you are a smart one, indeed." She grinned as she glanced at the half melted, half chopped kappa. She walked over to the dismembered youkai and daringly removed one of its claws.
"Arigatou*, I'll be borrowing that now! I'd return it but you're dead. Sorry buddy. Actually. Not really." She mumbled as she stood upright. Carefully, in not to cut herself she held the claw between her teeth while she removed her obi and then took the claw to cut it in half long ways. Next she placed the claw to the bottom of her kimono and took off about 30 centimeters off its length.
"I'll be able to run around at least." She said aloud. Then, to do next, she placed the claw at her waist and cut the expensive silk fabric in half, creating a top long sleeved shirt and a short skirt.
"And. done." She said as she cut off her sleeves. She picked up the two pieces of her obi and used one to fasten the skirt, the other, the top.
"I feel a little odd with my hair like a professional miko while wearing a skirt. Ha. Oh well. I'll fix it later. And this." she looked down at the kappa claw which glittered in her palm.
"And this, I think I'll keep!" She said adventurously, and picked up the extra pieces of kimono and began to walk back to the campsite for the night.

Alright, I know that chapter was a bit boring and pretty basic, but the next chapter is the fluffiest chapter you will ever read. I think!! Here's a summary:
In this chapter, it's all classified by one part, and the part and chapter name self describes it: "Fluffy", I aptly named it. Sesshoumaru and Jakken are a little freaked out by Rin's new appearance, and soon Sesshoumaru and Rin get into another playful argument. This of course, leads to massive fluff. I don't want to give anything else away, so that's basically it. Fluffy! Fluffy that is being Fluffy! Heh. It'll be up by tomorrow or Wednesday. Please review o'faithful Rin x Sesshoumaru fans!!
