Chapter Sixteen: A Meeting with Love

Miroku's cheeks were stained as Sango bashfully pressed her lips to his. A gentle brush of flesh made both blush furiously. Miroku closed his eyes and pulled Sango closer, deepening the kiss. She, in turn, put one hand behind his head and the other fully around his shoulders. After so many years of their bickering, after so long of slaps and chases, the two finally told their feelings. Both had wanted this for a long time, but neither having the courage to show. Now, in the middle of public, on a sidewalk between his house and hers, they were kissing, for the first time.

After a few moments, both reluctantly pulled away. It was nearly five o'clock, and both needed to get home. With one final kiss, they turned and headed their separate ways.

(Another man joins the other, holding a small sign that says: fuck this whole thing, i hate this shit. then he pulls another out from behind it and it says: scene change)

Rin walked down her porch steps as she left her home for the Songiya residence. She was nervous about seeing Sesshomaru again. She was determined to make him notice her. She wanted to be with him. It was more than her physical attraction she first felt for him. In the short few moments they had talked in the kitchen nearly four days ago, she had fallen in a pit. No rope could help her out; no ladder had enough steps to reach her. There was only one way for the young girl to get out of the darkness. It was a friendly hand of a Mr. Sesshomaru Songiya.

She made her way onto the sidewalk outside her house where she stopped dead in her tracks. There, for the entire world to see, were two of her best friends in a heated embrace. She had to stop herself from laughing out loud. Who knew the all-around-lech-hating Sango could fall for the number- one-lech Miroku? Without drawing attention to herself, she went around the two, going toward the street just beyond them. Her destination was close.

Her heart rate increased drastically as she opened the gates to the property. The breeze lifted her cotton skirt oh so slightly. With her hands trembling in anticipation, Rin brushed the cloth down. She had worn her light blue skirt with a white shirt that hugged her curves and accented her features flatteringly. She didn't want to seem sluttish; she just wanted to catch his attention. All her efforts would not be for nothing. She would do all in her power to draw him to her. Rin loved everything about the man. His actions: smooth and graceful; his attitude: polite yet masculine; his body...

She blushed slightly. Boy, if she was going to be in the same room with him, she didn't need to be having those kinds of thoughts. Rin gripped her notepad in her left hand and knocked on the large door with the right.

Sesshomaru sat in his living room, wondering what was going to happen during this meeting. Inu Yasha had told him much about this girl, but he still wanted to find out for himself. From what Inu Yasha had said, she liked a challenge and liked to hang around and have fun. She hardly took anything seriously unless it was very important. Rin was, according to Sesshomaru's knowledge, energetic, supported, and loved all those close to her heart. She stood up for what she believed in.

To say the least, Sesshomaru knew a lot about this girl after meeting her once.

He also knew what effect she had on him. Her beauty was astounding, making him wish to see her again and again. Sesshomaru could only guess her intelligence. She had, undoubtedly, been in a 'STUCO' class, for she was doing a speech for such an organization. Her carefree attitude must have made her appeal to the classes, so she must have been good with people. Her qualities were amazing, considering she was but a seventeen year old.

What was he thinking? Why was he thinking of the girl in such a way? He had only met her once for a grand total of five minutes. And yet... something made him want to be with her. 'It's only an infatuation,' he thought. 'Nothing more. I will not develop anything for the girl. She means nothing to me.' He would deny any claims his heart made toward her. There wasn't any way that something could have happened between the two that quickly.

He heard the rapping on the door with his sharp hearing. Sesshomaru stood swiftly and made his way to the door. Upon opening the door, he stood, an arm extended, inviting her into his home. Sesshomaru had been taught long ago to be polite to guests in his house. Rin smiled at him and walked in, removing her shoes. Together, they walked into the living room.

Rin sat on the floor by the low coffee table, her skirt fanning out around her as she sat with her legs to one side. She removed the pencil from behind her ear and opened her notebook. On the top of a fresh page, she wrote: 'IDEAS FOR SPEECH'. Sesshomaru sat cross-legged in front of her.

"Where should we begin?" she asked timidly. "I've never written a speech that covers four years. It seems like a lot of work," Rin chuckled lightly.

"Well, you don't want to drag the speech on for too long," Sesshomaru said, his lips curving a little at the edges when she spoke. "So, basically you might just want to sum up what happened through all four years, starting with your freshman year. Talk about memorable moments or activities that your graduating class would remember."

Rin nodded and put a few stray hairs behind her left ear as she jotted down a few notes. Sesshomaru continued talking a few moments at her request for more pointers. She wasn't wrong when she thought he was smart, he was beyond. Sesshomaru, being twenty, had been through high school and a two- year college. 'His brain would put mine to shame,' she thought with a small smile. But, if she wanted Sesshomaru to like her and trust her, she needed to talk to him about his more personal life. That's what she intended to do. She would get under his skin and make sure he noticed her.

Sesshomaru watched as Rin scribbled some notes on her paper. Almost every single word he had said was written down. 'She listens well,' he thought. She had sat there and talked to him for nearly half an hour, asking him specific details about what he did in high school. 'Why?' Why would she be interested in his personal life? She had also asked about what he did now, becoming excited when he had told her he was president of the business, 'Tenseiga Corp.' (A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know... real original... sorry, but I couldn't think of anything.)

In fact, he was owner. He worked with computers and was in full control of who worked where. From his room in this house, he could operate any system in the main office building. Rin's eyes had practically popped out of her head. One thing Sesshomaru had learned for himself was she was a hell of a computer person. After he gave her pointers on her speech, she started talking about computers. She was a whiz and understood everything. He had even gone so far as to give her a resume. His company could use a smart kid like her.

Sesshomaru mentally kicked himself. 'Stop, you are starting to sound like you like her. You cant. You know it.' Yes, he did know it. If he were to fall for her, he would be a disgrace to youkai. He couldn't do that. He was a youkai and to be shunned by your own race was unacceptable to him. Sesshomaru knew that he couldn't let feelings develop for this nigen. Sesshomaru knew that he'd have to just be himself. What Sesshomaru didn't know, was that he didn't have a say in the matter. (A/N: because I am the author and I say so!!! ::insert evil laugh here:: Actually, you'll see why in the next sentence... -.-')

Rin watched him as he got a small snack for the two of them. She knew how to read men and she liked what this one had to say. From the way he talked to her and the way he was acting to her, she knew she had him. According to Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru wasn't social to just anyone. He had talked to her about his work. She hadn't known he had owned 'Tenseiga Corp.' THE 'Tenseiga Corp.' They were the most successful computer company in the entire world. Rin had always wanted to work there, for she was very skilled when it came to computers. When he had gone out of his way to get her a resume, she almost jumped for joy. Rin knew she had him, and she loved it. She and he would be together soon. Not even Kami himself could keep them apart, Rin would see to that.

The grandfather clock in the large hallway on the second story chimed loudly. Rin looked at her watch and gasped. It was nine o'clock!! She looked over at Sesshomaru who was just standing to throw away their trash. A small, disappointed sigh escaped her lips.

"Well, Mr. Songiya," she said, standing. He stood also and she smoothed out her skirt, dressed in wrinkles from sitting. "I think now would be a good time for me to leave. I have been here four hours." She gave a small chuckle and grabbed her notebook. When she looked at him again, she remembered all she had done to fulfill her plan. Rin, being the sly vixen she was, had made sure to, every once in a while, come into contact with him. Not so much to make him suspicious, but enough to make him notice her. She had gotten him to talk to her a little about his personal life: his job.

Sesshomaru nodded slightly and walked with her to the door. He opened it for her and they stood in the doorway. "It was a pleasure having you over, Miss Rin." He gave her a small bow and she returned it.

"Good bye," She said, turning.

Sesshomaru was slightly angry with this girl. Although he started the evening planning on not developing anything for her. His plan did not go over well. Her prodding into his life proved she doesn't bow down to a fight. Her computer skills and the mere fact that she had been chosen for a major speech had been proof enough that she was smart. Through out the night, she had made it clear that her humor was astoundingly found in almost every topic (A/N: meaning she found something amusing in everything, kinda like me ). For all it was worth, Sesshomaru's point of view on nigens had changed. This one woman had been the one to do it. He was falling for her.

And here she was planning on just leaving. When Sesshomaru decided he wanted something, he was going to get it. He had decided that this girl was what he wanted. She was like him in some ways, yet so completely and utterly different. He needed that; he needed her completely and entirely. Sesshomaru wasn't just going to let her leave without showing that he was not going to give up on getting her. He didn't care if she didn't want to be with him. He was a youkai and his youkai blood was raging to just take this girl. In the short time he had known her, something within him was calling for her. So, he was going to have her.

As Rin turned to leave, Sesshomaru lightly touched her shoulder. She moved her head toward him. His golden eyes sparkled and he leaned down. He brushed his lips across hers and she gasped. Rin hadn't expected him to do this. To kiss her, to show he liked her. It was so unexpected that by the time she was about to retaliate by kissing him back, he had pulled away.

"Good night, Miss Rin."
