Chapter 6

"Are you going out tonight?"

Kagome looked up into the mirror at the vanity table she currently sat at to see her sister's head poked through her bedroom door waiting for a response.

"Hai, Rin-chan, I'm going out with Sango."

Rin pouted, "Can I come?"

Kagome stood up from the table and turned around, as Rin lightly ran her gaze over her short tan peasant top, complete with flared sleeves, and black leather pants.

She smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Rin, but you're too young."

Rin stuck her tongue out at her older step sister, "Only by a year."

"Still," Kagome sighed, lowering her lids, "You have school. And your dad would kill me if he picked you up drunk or something." When the doorbell rang, Kagome shooed Rin out of her room, running to her closet to pick out some comfortable, yet stylish, shoes to wear.

"Could you get that?"

Rin rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah..."

The young girl's brow wrinkled, 'Stupid Kagome...if she wasn't so scared of daddy yelling...again...at her, I could be making out with some random hot guy two hours from now...'

Still fuming, Rin didn't check the peephole before opening the door.

Her huge brown eyes widened and her mouth gaped open at the sight before her.

"Damn..."

Inuyasha cocked a humored eyebrow at the short girl's face before waving a hand in front of it.

"Hello?" he smirked when she suddenly landed back to earth with a whimper.

"Marry me, please. I'm just a simple student, but I promise you it'd be worth it!"

"Rin!"

She gave a frustrated sigh as Kagome swung the door open.

Kagome was trying hard to hide her giggle, clearing her throat instead as she pointed a finger down the hallway.

It was REALLY hard not to laugh, "Go finish your homework."

Inuyasha gave a slight chuckle as the girl 'Rin' gave a military salute and ran in the direction Kagome indicated.

He watched on as Kagome shook her head and smiled at him.

"Cute kid...yours?"

She blushed with an unbelieving look, "No way! I'd have to have been seven years old at the time if she were...she's older than she looks."

"Feh."

She shut the door behind them after he walked in. Inuyasha turned, leaning a shoulder on the closest wall with his hands shoved in his pockets as he watched her, his eyes having an unexplainable gleam in them.

When her eyes met his, she pushed at the ends of her hair with an annoying flick of her wrist, making the wavy mass fall heavily behind her, "Why are you here, Inuyasha?"

He lowered his eyelids as if studying her, "I don't know...Sango called me saying to pick you up." He eyed her outfit with a smirk, "Thought you'd known."

Kagome gave a seductive smile as she slowly walked over to him. A small chuckle left her throat as she linked her hands behind his neck, whispering lowly in his ear, "I think we're being set up."

"Really?" he answered just as low.

She ran her fingers through his silver hair, smiling into his soul-stealing amber eyes, "Mm hmm," she brought her mouth to his, producing an experienced kiss, their lips once again becoming accustomed to one another's. She sighed thankfully into his mouth as he made a noise back.

'Was that a growl?'

She giggled against his soft lips as he encircled her small waist, clearly happy to see her again.

"Get a room."

Kagome tilted her head away from Inuyasha to find Rin standing behind them over his shoulder. She gave a deeply annoyed sigh of frustration, "Rin, how much money would it take to make you shut up for the rest of the night?"

Rin posed thoughtfully, a finger to her chin, "Oh, I don't know...enough for food..." she drew in a deep sarcastic breath, "It won't be easy to stay occupied...you know, if I became bored..."

"How about a fifty?" Inuyasha cut in, putting both of the girls' attention to him.

Rin smile mischievously, "Sure, handsome, that'll do."

He rolled his eyes, resting his forehead against Kagome's, "Well?"

She slanted her eyes, "Oh, no, don't look at me, mister moneybags." She grabbed her jacket, slipping it on and snatched her keys, "You set up that offer, its not coming out of my pocket...see you downstairs."

After she shut the door, Inuyasha got out his wallet. Giving the grinning devil her money, he stated, "You'll be okay if she comes home late or not at all tonight, right?"

Rin nodded, waving him off, "Don't worry about me, babe, I'm a big girl." She grabbed the front of his shirt so they were eye-level, "But if you hurt my sister..." she 'tsk'ed him, "I'm afraid I'll have to kill you...nothing personal, of course."

"Now I'm really scared."
