--Love is all that--

Ok, I don't know what the 'AE' things are. I'm guessing its when I put 3 dots together

†(If it doesn't show up as 'AE' it's probably not it) Anyhow, sorry for that and if you see anymore in this chapter, then just ignore them.

Thanks to:

Darkunknownone : thanks for pointing that out, I was a little confused too.

chapter 16 –

"Sesshoumaru! What are you doing here?" asked Rin, trying to sound as surprised as she could.

"As I said last time I wanted to get back together with you." Replied Sesshoumaru coolly.

"Sesshoumaru, I already told you that I love another. I can't get back with you. Not anymore, and definitely not after what happened." Rin continued, "And besides my new boyfriend actually cares for me."

Obviously Sesshoumaru was getting pretty annoyed, due to his short temper. He gave Rin 'the-look' and gave her his reason for wanting to be with her again.

"I understand that you are still mad but that was a long time a go can't you just-"

"I know what you are trying to do Sesshoumaru, and I don't really care. If you want to make me happy, then please just leave me alone." With that Rin spun around and marched up the stairs again, leaved an awe-struck Sesshoumaru behind.

In fact Rin was trying so hard to calm down and block out all the sounds, she didn't even catch the last thing Sesshoumaru called back to her.

"I'm sorry!"

Sesshoumaru watched as Rin's figure continued up the stairs. When she reached the top Sesshoumaru decided it was time to go.

"There's no reason to be here anyways." He sighed. As he turned and walked out the door, he was truly heart-broken. All the attempts he had tried were useless. Trying to please her, give her chocolates, flowers – anything! When she finally told him what would make her happy, it was an answer he never expected.

'I love another, I can't get back with you.'

'My new boyfriend actually cares for me'

' I know what you are trying to do and I don't care!'

'If you want to make me happy, then please just leave me alone'

Phrases kept repeating themselves in Sesshoumaru's mind, showing no signs of ever going away. Tears stung in his eyes, begging to be let out.

"No." thought Sesshoumaru. "If she's happy that I'm gone I will leave her alone."

All night Sesshoumaru couldn't sleep. The words kept ringing in his ears as if they had been just said to him. When he couldn't take it anymore, Sesshoumaru just let the tears fall. That night Sesshoumaru had cried himself to sleep. He had accepted the fact that Rin no longer likes him, but all he felt now was an emptiness inside. An emptiness only Rin can fill.

( Next morning )

The feeling of being empty never did leave Sesshoumaru. It was still tugging at him. Not wanting to let go. As he dragged himself out of bed, he realised he was all alone in the world now. All night he was thinking about having any chance he could ever see her with a smile on her face again. Nothing came up. Both Sesshoumaru's parents died when he was still a young boy.

His only relative was Inuyasha, but even he despised of him. Rin had always been there. Like a sister, a nice one. Not one that would bully him or anything. She was just there to help him out, to cheer him up. But now that she was gone, it was like she died mysteriously.

Then an idea suddenly hit him.

"Maybeâ€just maybe that might work!"

With the inspiration of a new idea Sesshoumaru changed faster than he had ever changed before and jumped out of the house in such a hurry, he almost ran over 2 villagers!

( knock knock )

"Hello again Sesshoumaru! Did you want to see Rin again? I'm sorry she was in such a bad mood yesterday! I don't know what got into her. Would you like to come in?"

"Yes please."

Rin was upstairs with Kohaku laughing and giggling at the jokes he was telling.

"Where did he get all the jokes from!"

But that all ended once again with the familiar call from her mother.

"RIN! SESSHOUMARU IS WAITING DOWNSTAIRS FOR YOU PLEASE COME DOWN!"

Rin nervously took a glance at Kohaku. He too had a weird expression on his face.

"Uhâ€..I'll be right back."

Rin walked down the stairs and saw Sesshoumaru sitting calmly in the living room.

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you yesterday that-"

Sesshoumaru cut her off.

"I know what you told me yesterday its just, I was thinking last night about what you said and I came to a conclusion."

Rin was sitting down now, actually concentrating on what he was going to say next.

Sesshoumaru continued, "I don't mind if you're not there to be my girlfriend anymore, only that you will be there when I need you?"

Rin gave Sesshoumaru a ' in-english-please' look. Sesshoumaru sighed. He hadn't expected her to understand that.

"Like be there when I need to ask someone for advice, or just to talk to." Explained Sesshoumaru carefully, making sure he didn't put any 'big' words in it.

Rin was clearly thinking about this. Finally it dawned on her that he just wanted to be her friend. Smiling Rin answered his question.

"Sure!"

"Really?"

"Yup! Friends?"

Sesshoumaru mentally smacked himself. "Why didn't I just tell her I ment to be friends with her instead of explaining everything?"

" Friends."

At that moment Sesshoumaru felt a whole lot better knowing that the one he loved doesn't hate him anymore. When Sesshoumaru left her house he had a smile of satisfaction on his face.

"Even though she doesn't love me, it's nice to know she doesn't hate me at all."
