"Rin? Are you asleep?" Sesshoumaru whispered as he quietly walked through Rin's door.

"No..." her voice was dry and wavering. He figured she was crying.

He sat down next to her. "Talk to me, Rin."

"Arigato. I really need some one right now."

He smiled at her and helped her sit up.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, don't tell anyone, but Hitoshi used to hit me and rape me," she said, showing him a large purple bruise on her left forearm, "And I couldn't leave him because he is the type of person who will hunt me down and kill me! (A/N: just like Sleeping With the Enemy! What a great movie that was...)" she fiddled with his fluff, "And now, I'm a bit ashamed. I'm actually sort of relieved he's gone. But then again, it fills me with horrible sorrow. I'm all mixed up! Please help me in my time of need, Sesshoumaru-sama."

'Oh I'll help you alright...NO! NO DIRTY THOUGHTS GODDAMMIT!' "I'm here for you, Rin. Now and always."

She burst out in tears. "You're so kind, Sesshoumaru-sama! Thank you so much!" she threw her arms around him and sobbed into his fluff.

He blushed. Yes, that's right. Sesshoumaru blushed. He hesitated before putting his arms around her, trying to be reassuring and nothing more.

Rin quickly withdrew and her eyes were wide, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. "...Maybe you should go, Sesshoumaru-sama. Thank you."

"Very well," he said and got up, walked to the door, then paused and looked back. "Rin, I just want you to know that you can talk to me anytime."

With that, he left.

A few hours later

Sesshoumaru simply couldn't sleep. Not after that. Now, Hitoshi was out of the way and Rin actually trusted him! This was perfect!

'All I have to do is lure her into falling in love with me! If she fell for that loser, I should be no problem. I mean, I am a bishie after all!'

From his perch he could see Rin tossing and turning. She probably couldn't fall asleep either.

'I could probably wear her out some...DAMMIT! STOP BEING A PERVERT!' he slapped himself lightly.

Rin lay there tossing and turning. She couldn't get Hitoshi out of her head still.

'I feel like he's only gone. I feel like he is out somewhere fighting a youkai instead of being dead. I can't convince myself. But when I think he's dead I just...I don't know. I feel like he can read my mind and watch my every move. I feel like he is always going to be watching over me. I'm scared. And now Sesshoumaru's here and it feels like all of a sudden I can rely on him really well like we've been best friends for years. But what the hell am I thinking? He is practically stalking me! And he abandonned me. I can't forget that one. I am so confused...Kami-sama give me strength.'
