How Many Years?

Chapter Twelve

'Dude. I really don't want to fight Inuyasha because first of all, I always lose. Second, I don't feel like fighting. I wanted those days to be over. I don't think Rin really likes violent types. But then Hitoshi was violent. I don't know. I've lost my train of mind. Oh yeah. I must save Rin. I just hope I'm not too late!' He properly put on his armor, which he hadn't been wearing for, like, ever and headed out the door.

He tried to pick up a scent for Inuyasha, and found one. He glid through the air toward where he hoped Rin was still alive.

Somewhere in the forest

"Wow...Some lair.." Sesshoumaru mumbled to himself while taking in his surrounding. This was definitely Inuyasha's place. He could tell by the sloppy mess that seemed to be everywhere.

He heard a muffling noise. It sounded like it was from his left, maybe under something. He looked around and found a tied up free, little one!" Sesshoumaru said while untying the creature. He had become more and more soft everyday because Rin was beginning to change him(Just like Kagome changed Inuyasha awww...).

"Getting soft, are we, Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha, a.k.a. Hitoshi, said, standing behind Sesshoumaru with confident arms on his hips.

"Iie, hanyou. Urusai! Where is Rin?!"

"I'll give her to you if you defeat me in battle, just like you did before. But this time, you don't have a beloved sword to help you where as I do." Hitoshi had obviously been doing some research on his host body.

"Deal! But, no swords. Just so it's fair (and square lol)!"

"Deal..." Hitoshi said, dropping the Tetsusaiga. He calmly walked back, not taking his eyes off Sesshoumaru, and lifted up a blanket with an unconcious Rin under it. Sesshoumaru winced at the sight.

'If only it were her and I, I could take advantage of her and...' his other state of mind kicked in, 'Shut the hell up! What are you thinking, taking advantage of her like that. Rin would hate you for life! And stop thinking about this, too! You are trying to battle your shit-head brother, hello!'

"Let's go!" Hitoshi yelled and jumped towards Sesshoumaru, who just stood there trying to rid himself of hentai fantasies.

Fortunatley, he dodged Hitoshi's, or should I say Inuyasha's, attack and stuck his poison claws in his eyes, like always, to blind him.

Hitoshi never felt such agonizing pain. He clawed at his eyes, but forgot he actually had claws, and made it even worse.

Sesshoumaru finally used his famous nail-whip-thingy and made a huge whiplash on Inuyasha's back. He went off yelping in pain, but knocked into a tree because he was blind.

Sesshoumaru smirked. His brother could be such a huge loser sometimes. 'Wow. I must be getting stronger or something because I wasn't even attacked. I don't have a scratch on me!'

He walked over to Rin and kneeled at her side, waiting for her to wake up.

Her eyes fluttered and she looked drowsily into Sesshoumaru's eyes.

"Sesshoumaru-sama? You came to save me?"

He nodded.

"Arigato, Sesshoumaru-sama!" she exclaimed and tried to get up but moaned. "Ahh I can't get up...Can you help me?"

He didn't even have to think twice. "Sure."

He lifted her up and for some reason they looked into eachother's eyes. Somehow their faces drew closer to eachother and their breath mingled before they locked lips.

His kiss, so unlike others, was full of delight, and for a moment, it seemed the sun peeked out from behind the gray clouds. She savored every second and felt her way around his mouth, loving the taste of him.

Rin was on the ground now, standing by herself except for leaning against Sesshoumaru's chest. They let go, gasping for breath.

"You can.. stand now?" he asked.

"Yes...Yes.." Rin was still in shock.

(A/N: wOOt! I actually wrote some fluff! AHAHAHAA!)

As they walked back, hand in hand, Sesshoumaru had a thought brought to mind. "What were you going to confess to me?"

Rin imeadiately blushed. "Umm...It was nothing..." 'Should I tell him that I think I'm in love with him or not? I mean, we did just kiss so it would be a good time. So, yeah I think I will... I just hope I don't regret it.'

"Please, tell me, Rin!"

"Sesshoumaru-sama...How can I say this... I think I'm in love with you!"

Silence.
