Hey hi! I'm here and with another chappie for Untouchable. Oh, I'm too lazy to write an interesting event for every week of the school year. Yep, I'm skipping weeks...So yeah. Here:

Over the next few weeks, Rin saw that neither Kana or Hojo were in class. She assumed that they were suspended... or worse. After the two incidents, she saw that thee wasn't anymore trouble in school. By now, her arm had completely healed and it was winter break.

To Rin, that meant that all her friends were leaving and going to visit their parents. The visits often lasted the entire break. Every time they left, Rin silently cried out in pain, drawing, or writing depressing poems. Though she was over her depression, Christmas always made it She no longer had a family to go home to. When her friends came back home, they were filled with a love Rin hungered for.

On her friend's last day, they exchanged gifts. Rin always got something she liked. This year, she got something unexpected. A binder filled with the works of art she had thrown away. Looking at them now, Rin realized how good they actually were.

Rin thanked them all, and gave them their gifts. It wasn't much, but she always gave them a piece of art she had created. Though she gave them the same thing every year, they cherished her drawing as if they were delicate pieces of history.

This year, Rin decided to go somewhere else for a change, she decided to go to the mountains, thinking, "It's something to write about so Sensei doesn't have to that shoddy paper that she had done in the beginning of the year. After all, the contest was in February."

Rin decided to give her somewhat neighbor a gift. Though, she didn't know what to give him. She ran to each and every nook and cranny in her room looking for something that would suit him. Then she found it. It was... her art.. it was the Burning tree, the Falling Angel (A/N: lol the title looks familiar doesn't it?), and the Deepened Pain. Putting it in a manila envelope, she rushed over to his house just as the first snow fell.

Sesshomaru was just looking outside the window when he saw the person he wanted to see. He saw that the first snow started to fall, he thought, "Just like that day..."

Lucky for him, Miroku and Inuyasha weren't at home. They had gone to meet their girlfriend's parents(A/N: I wonder who they are). Though he had forgotten to take down the mistletoe Miroku had hidden in uncanny places. Grabbing her gift, he went downstairs just as the doorbell rang.

He opened the door and saw Rin there holding a manila envelope close. He let her in, not showing her the unbelievably heavy book he was carrying. The moment both entered the Sesshomaru started, "Rin, what brings you here today?"

She put a loose strand of hair behind her ear, "Not much Sesshomrau... But I did want to give you this before I leave."

"Where are you going?"

"To the mountains for a change. I'm home alone way too much during the Christmas season."

"You can stay here if you wish."

"I wouldn't want to bother you..."

"Yes, but two lonely people aren't going to do any good on the Christmas holiday."

"You're staying alone then? Well okay. I'll stay here. In that case, you can't look at my present to you until Christmas comes around."

"That goes the same for you Rin."

"Sure. I'll wait for you."

Rin raced back home, hurriedly packing her necessities in her duffel bag. Making sure she had her house key, she locked the door and ran to his home.

They hardly ever talked on the days that Rin had been at his house. To her, it made no difference, she enjoyed his presence even from afar. To him, he enjoyed having someone rather being by himself. Though every time he saw her, he was always oblivious to his beating heart, one that didn't tell lies.

When Christmas came, Rin had decided to bake cookies. She was an okay chef, though she thought Sango, despite the image she gave was a better cook. Rin prepared the ingredients, not aware that in the other half of kitchen, Sesshomaru was cooking Christmas dinner.

Sesshomaru needed to get something in the other room, and had to pass the other half. He smelled something sweet hanging in the air. He looked in and saw Rin baking cookies, something he had allowed her to do if she ever got bored. Sesshomaru walked in and looked at her workspace. She turned around, acting as if she had known he was there the whole time.

"Hi Sesshomaru! I baked cookies!" Rin squealed oblivious to the small spot of dough on her face. Sesshomaru leaned close, his lips inches from hers. His finger swiped the dough on her face. He tasted it, then said, "Its sweet... Rin...Much like you..."

He left her there, holding her hand to where he had touched her. After he finished dinner, he called Rin, who had just showered and smelled like peaches. (A/N: peaches were the first thing that came to mind) She beamed at Sesshomaru and both smiled, not knowing that they may feel the same things. After, both were prepared to open their presents.

They looked in shock at the presents received. They didn't realize that they shared the same feelings. Angst. Sesshomaru was shocked when he saw the angel... she looked like Maria. He already knew about Rin's family... He thought she should know about what his...

"Rin... I have something to tell you," Sesshomaru said as they sat near the fireplace.

"Mm-Hm...."

"It may take a while... but do listen.... There was this women I once had loved... She was brilliant and optimistic... What first had started out as two lonely teens grew into a relationship... We always stayed together... No matter what happened to us... We had gone through college together... and we were in love... Though... Rin.. she had died of some disease sometime before I could truly tell her what I felt..."

Rin sat up looking at Sesshomaru, she could she how badly wounded he felt.

"I wanted to tell you that your drawing... Is much like her in many ways... But, she is gone... Merely a ghost in my memories... Her last words were, 'Sesshomaru... learn to love again...' I couldn't bear it... I never want to make the same mistake again..."

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru... I..."

"Rin... I do not want any sorries... I just don't want to make the same mistake... again... Let's not talk about this though... Do you want to see the stars...?"

Rin, glad for the change of mood, nodded happily. She followed him up the stairs that lead to the roof. It was like a courtyard... and had a small, covered, swing set that anyone could fall asleep under...

They sat under the chair looking at the stars... Stars had dashed across the night sky... Like diamonds... It was only then they realized... They were sitting under mistletoe...
