Chapter Nine: Made for each other
With Izayoi, Inuyasha and Inutaisho gone to talk to some policemen, Rin was left alone with Sesshoumaru. It was a classic conversational moment, Rin staring at her feet and Sesshoumaru staring at the ceiling.
They both looked at each other to make sure the other one wasn't looking, only they did that at the same time and ended up looking away and blushing at the same time too.
"How sweet! Sango, we never do that!" came a voice from the doorway, there stood Miroku, Sango and Kagome. Miroku had stars in his eyes. "I knew you two were an item!"
Sango bopped him on the head, her and Kagome then went and sat down next to Rin. Miroku took the chance to sneak over to Sesshoumaru's right side.
"So, Sesshoumaru!" he began
'Why me?' thought Sesshoumaru 'Bullets I can handle, Naraku I can handle... just keep this guy away from me'
"Your first in-bedroom experience with Rin and you end up in a hospital! I hope I get that lucky with Sango!" he joked perversely
"I heard that!" warned Sango, then went back to her conversation with Rin.
"Yeah, what were you two doing in there anyway?" Miroku asked, nudging him suggestively "Tell me honestly!"
The colour drained from Sesshoumaru's face and a horrified look was now on his normally blank face. "Wha-wha-wha-?" he stammered
"I knew it" Miroku whispered "You were having a kissy moment, weren't you? And I always thought you were gay -ugh!"
Miroku didn't finish his sentence because Sesshoumaru leaned over and bopped him heavily on the head with his left arm.
"Well, Rin, we've got to go. Our parents have totally freaked" Kagome said, standing up "Bye Rin, feel better Sesshoumaru"
"I will when he leaves" Sesshoumaru snapped, pointing at the swirly-eyed Miroku.
"We're taking him," Sango said firmly, pulling Miroku up from the floor.
"I'm guessing Inuyasha told you I could speak again," Sesshoumaru said
"Oops" Kagome said, covering her mouth "Yeah he kind of did"
Miroku got up, a bump on his head, gave Sesshoumaru a disturbing 'go-get-her' look and departed with the girls, staying slightly behind so he could stare at Sango's ass.
"I swear that guy needs medical attention" Sesshoumaru thought aloud. Rin made a noise halfway between a hiccup and a laugh. Sesshoumaru then realised why she was acting so weird; he hadn't talked to her directly since he'd been shot.
"Rin, are you all right?" he asked suddenly. Rin hiccuped and nodded and avoided his gaze. She spoke forcefully "I...should be asking you. I mean, you're the one who..."
"Got shot?" he supplied.
Rin nodded.
"It's OK, now, I mean. It doesn't even hurt"
Rin made a noise that may have been an attempt to speak and a hiccup at the same time, coming out as 'Eeep!'

Inutaisho leaned against the wall.
"Dead?" he enquired.
"Yes, Inutaisho-san. Miss. Onigumo's body was discovered just half an hour previously in a canal. Could you tell me, does your son own a gun?" the policeman replied slowly.
Inutaisho started "My son is a suspect? He got shot by her!" he roared.
"Inutaisho-san, do not make things worse. We have not yet received full results from the Post Mortem but we know Miss. Onigumo had a gun, she was also shot. We are not ruling out suicide" the policeman countered calmly.
"And you expect..." Inutaisho began, his hands making fists at his sides "You expect I allow my sons to run around with guns?"
The policeman looked almost embarrassed, it was probably just his first day as an inspector and he had to interrogate one of the richest men in Japan. Inutaisho, however, could not be more infuriated with the man.
"N-no Inutaisho-san I was merely suggesting..."
"You were suggesting my son killed that Kagura girl, no, my son has no gun and it would have been pretty difficult for him, lying unconscious on the ground to fire a gun."
"Y-yes Inutaisho-san...but Miss Koji..."
"Miss. Koji would not have fired at the girl nor had access to a gun and we will not touch upon the subject. The poor girl has been through enough"
Inutaisho sighed; this was so not his day.

Sango, Kagome and Miroku met up with Inuyasha after they had rung their parents. Miroku was having a hard time convincing Inuyasha that Sesshoumaru and Rin were 'Made for each other'
"It's so obvious Inuyasha!" he cried breathlessly after about half an hour of arguing
"Bleuuugh! The Ice Prince and Rin? Yuck! Bad mental image!"
"It is so true!"
"You lie!"
"No lie!""YOU LIE!" Inuyasha shouted
"NO LIE!" Miroku shouted
"LIAR!"
"I-WILL-PROVE-IT-TO-YOU!" Miroku yelled, grabbing Inuyasha's arm and pulling him in the direction of the room Sesshoumaru was in.
"I say it again, lies!" Inuyasha mumbled grumpily, the vision of his brother with anyonewas far too disturbing for him.

Sesshoumaru continued to stare at the ceiling, this was so unlike him, he'd never felt this awkward before. It irritated him more than anything else did.
Rin leant against the chair and sighed. This silence was killing him; he could take it no longer.
"Rin, you are not acting yourself" he said slowly
Rin made an 'hmm' noise; the silence didn't seem to bother her as much as it did him.
"Are you sure you are ok?"
Rin sighed "I'm...just shocked" she said, still having to force the words.
"Shocked." Sesshoumaru repeated bluntly.
"Yeah, why would someone shoot...I mean, they were aiming for me, weren't they, Sesshoumaru?"
Sesshoumaru avoided her eyes. On second thought, he liked the silence better.
"Please answer me," Rin said, her eyes filling up with tears.
"Yeah. Yeah, they were"
Rin's tears hit the floor and she became like a human waterfall, but didn't make a noise.
"W-wait! Uh- don't cry!" Sesshoumaru stammered.
"I knew it, why? Why-"
"I don't know, Rin. I mean it must have been—"
"WHY DID YOU NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY?" Rin said, running over and throwing her arms around his left side (the side were he was not injured) "You stupid git! If you'd have maybe moved—"
"I would have got shot in the arm, so really it would have made no difference" he said, embarrassed at the girl clinging to his neck.
"You could have died." She sobbed into his shirt. "You silly git!"
"It's ok, Rin" Sesshoumaru said "Really"
"I TOLD YOU!" Miroku said from the door, Inuyasha behind him, looking mortified and making sick faces.
"W-what?" Rin and Sesshoumaru cried in perfect unison. Pulling away from each other then giving the other a shy look at exactly the same time.
"Yuck, Rin and the Ice Prince!" Inuyasha chanted.
"It's so sweet" Miroku laughed.
"So sick" corrected Inuyasha
"I knew I was right!" Miroku said, punching the air victoriously whilst Rin and Sesshoumaru could only stammer their objections.
