Chapter 10

Sesshoumaru woke up to the smell of breakfast being cooked. He stretched and got up from his bed, the couch in Rin's apartment. He walked into the kitchen to see Rin making breakfast.

"Thought I'd make you breakfast to say thank you for staying." She said. "Sorry about last night. I don't know what came over me."

"It's all right."

"You were right though. We hardly know each other. So…I wouldn't mind spending time to get to know each other."

"I wouldn't mind either. Sorry for making things move between us too quickly, but for some reason…I couldn't control myself." Sesshoumaru replied softly.

"Same here."

They stopped talking and ate breakfast in silence. Once they were done eating, Sesshoumaru left to get ready at his home to walk in to work, late. Rin sighed as she heard him drive away and went to get ready for work herself.

As soon as Rin arrived at work, she began to work on her latest assignment assigned by Jaken to do. Sesshoumaru was away at a meeting so Rin was taking orders from Jaken for the moment.

"When you are done with what you doing, you need to organize the files on these disks by date?" Jaken said, handing Rin a bunch of floppy disks.

"Ok Jaken. One question though. What are you doing?"

"I…I'm…uh…"

"Just like I thought, making me do all the work so you can wait on Sesshoumaru." Rin accused.

Jaken's face went angry and he was about to say something when Sesshoumaru walked in.

"Rin, I need you to take notes for me at my next meeting. Jaken, take over what Rin was doing."

Jaken frowned. "Yes sir."

Sesshoumaru walked in to his office and Rin soon followed him.

"What meeting is this that I'm taking notes for?"

"It's about a partnership with Kouga's company."

"Oh," said Rin.

"On another note, how would you like to go out to night so we can get to know each other better?"

"Sounds good, except for one thing."

"What?"

"I want to cook the dinner and we have it at my house."

Sesshoumaru nodded, wanting to try more of Rin's cooking. "What time?"

"Um…Seven should be good?"

"All right."

"Mr. Takashi, Kouga Wolfe is here to see you." Yura's voice came on the intercom.

"Send him in." Sesshoumaru replied.

Soon after the door opened and Kouga walked in. "Good afternoon Sesshoumaru." He said, then noticed Rin. "Nice to see you again Rin."

"Likewise," Rin replied.

"Well, let's get this meeting started." Kouga said, sitting down. Sesshoumaru and Rin followed.

Rin hurried, trying to finish the dinner before Sesshoumaru arrived. As soon as she finished working she had hurried home and had been cooking ever since she got in to more comfy clothes. She had a little bit left to do and she still needed to get pretty. While she was doing that she started thinking about what had past.

"Some men aren't that bad after all," she said to herself. Then she heard a car pull up. "Crap." She hurried and got looking nice as quickly as she could. Then there was a knock at the door as soon as she finished getting ready.

She opened the door to see Sesshoumaru their holding blood red roses and a box of chocolates. He was wearing one of his many business suits and his long white hair was in a ponytail. Rin suppressed a giggle and took the roses and chocolates from him.

"Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome." He said while looking her over. She was wearing a black dress to fit her figure perfectly. She had a light amount of make-up on and her hair was down. "You look beautiful." He said and Rin blushed.

"Thanks. Come in. Dinner is ready."

At the end of the evening, Rin and Sesshoumaru sat together on the couch in silence for awhile, then Rin was the first to speak.

"Thanks for coming over and letting me get to know you better."

"Same here." Sesshoumaru replied, slowly taking her hand. He then lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it. "Good night." Then he got off the couch and went to the door.

"Good night," She replied softly, then stood up gave him a kiss and ran to her room. Sesshoumaru smiled and slowly left the apartment.
