Chapter 12: Confessions (This chapter continues from the last one!)

Everyone was having a good time, even Sesshomaru, that is...until Rin's cell phone rang...

Rin looked down at her phone and began to get nervous. She didnt have to look to see who it was. Only one person had her cell phone number and that was Naraku.

"Um, I'm gona go upstairs, I got to take this call." Rin said with a fake smile then turned around heading towards the elevator when Someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Is something wrong." Sesshomaru said. Rin didnt turn to him but she narrowed her eyes, the way he said that, he said it as though he knew something was wrong, he didnt ask.

"Nothing is wrong Sesshomaru. I just have to take this call." Rin said then got in the elevator just in time before the doors closed. Sesshomaru stared at the elevator then turned back to his friends.


10 minutes later...

Rin stepped out of the elevator with her head hung down as she walked back into the arcade. Everyone stopped when they saw her. They could tell somthing was wrong, not to mention it was really obvious.

"Rin is somthing wrong?" Kagome was the first to speak.

Rin looked up at them and gave a big warm smile. "Yeah everythings fine!" Rin then started laughing a little. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and went back to playing games. Everyone except Sesshomaru.

"Everythings not fine...is it." He said while taking a step closer to her. Rin didnt want to look him in the eye...for some reason she felt as if she couldnt.

"Everything is fine Sesshomaru." Rin gave him a small smile with gentle eyes. Sesshomaru gave her a smile back then turned to his friends and started to play pool.

Thats when Rins smile faded as she remembered her conversation with Naraku...

Flashback to inside the elevator...


Rin quickly picked up her cell phone. "N-Naraku-sama?"Rin asked hoping it wasnt him.

"Of course it's me Rin. Who'd you expect?" Naraku replied with a gentle voice and laughed a little.

"Well, I just didnt think you would call me during a mission that's all. I mean dont we ussually email?"

"Well yes, but I do call every now and then." Naraku said but then he turned serious but still was gentle. "Now, how's your mission going. Are you and Sesshomaru Tetsusaiga getting close?"

"Um..Yes...I guess you could say we have gotten close. He has become my friend and I have found out a lot about him Naraku-sama."

Naraku frowned at this. Rin was doing one part of her mission, she was getting close to him, but Naraku worried that she was getting too close to him and when the time comes she wont be able to slay him. "Rin, slay him."

"Pardon, Naraku-sama?"

"Slay him. Slay him before by midnight tomorrow."

"But Naraku-sama-!"

"Rin. You were set out to do this mision, at first you didnt have a problem with it. Do you have a problem now?"

Rin stayed quiet, then answered her lords question. "No, Naraku-sama..."

"Good, I'll call again later. Good bye Rin."

"Good bye Naraku-sama.." Rin hung up and started to cry...'What am I going to do...'

End flashback...


"Man I'm beat! Time sure does fly when your having fun!" Aya announced while streching her arms. "We better hit the hay. We leave tomorrow night dont we?"

Kagome sighed. "Yeah."

"Well lets go." Miroku said. Everyone started walking towards the elevator but Rin stayed behind. Sesshomaru noticed this and walked up to her.

"Why are you staying behind?" He asked with raised eyebrow. Rin turned to him and smiled.

"I just...dont want the day to end..." Rin said softly. Then she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him burying her face into his chest. Sesshomaru was...well...shocked. He sniffed the air to see if she was crying but she wasnt.

"Rin, whats wrong?" Sesshomaru asked seriously yet gently. Rin took her face out of his chest and looked down at the ground.

"I...dont want to lose you." She then looked up at him. "I...really care about you...you're...a very special person to me..." Rin blushed slightly but still smiled at him. Sesshomaru looked down at her and raised an eye brow. Lose him? How was she going to lose him? But he returned her smile then hugged her back.

"I care about you too." Rin herd this and saw the smile he was giving her. This only made her want to cry...'No' ...she wasnt going to cry... she was a demon slayer and nothing more in this world. If she had to kill a demon she will not hesitate. So quickly Rin gently pushed herself out of Sesshomaru's grasp and turned away from him.

"It's getting late...we should go to bed..." Rin was starting to walk towards the elevataor, when she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder she turned around only to be kissed by Sesshomaru. Rin's eyes widened, she cant be doing this, but she was. Sesshomaru tilted his head and deepened the kiss. Rin slowly closed her eyes and kissed him back while one of her hands went up to his neck and the other started going through his hair. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around Rin's waist bring her closer to him. Rin then snapped her eyes open. What was she doing! She pushed him away from her and ran towards the elevator and got in the doors closed quickly as Rin saw the expression on Sesshomaru's face. He was shocked that she had just done that then he ran towards the stairs.

It took a few seconds for the elevator to get to the 4 floor. But when it did Rin ran to her room and was surprised at what she saw when she walked in. There sitting on the couch Sesshomaru was panting slightly.

"You actually took the stairs...?" Rin asked surprised. Sesshomaru nodded. Then he narrowed his eyes.

"Rin. Is somthing wrong." He asked his voice with no emotion in it but his eyes were held concern. Rin looked at him and shook her head. He stared at her for a while.

"Its impolite to stare." Rin shot at him, then she remember him saying that to her when she first met him. Sesshomaru just stood up and smirked.

"Now you know how it feels." He said then taking off his shirt. Rin blushed beet red.

"What are you doing!" Rin whined.

"I'm taking my shirt off so I can take a shower. " He said innocently. Then stared at her. Rin was looking away from him. As much as she wanted to stare at him sha forced herself not to. Sesshomaru just smirked and walked into the bathroom.


Rin sat on the bed and sighed. She then opened the drawer of the night stand next to her and stared at what was in there. Her knife. The one she took on missions when she had to go undercover. One stab in the heart with this knife and the demon was slayed. Rin already had a plan on how she was going to slay Sesshomaru. But what she was really worried about...was if she would be able to.

Rin stared at the knife. "I...cant..." she said softly with a weak voice.

"You cant what?" Rin quickly closed the drawer and spun around to see Sesshomaru with a towel around his waist, bare chested, his hair damp and water dripping from his face, hair, and body down to the carpet. Rin's eyes widened as she flushed. Then she quickly turned away.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU COME OUT OF THE BATHROOM ONLY WEARING A TOWEL?" Rin yelled still turned around blushing deep red.

"I forgot my clothes." He said as he walked to his bag and took out some clothing. Then walked back into the bathroom. After a few moments he came back out wearing boxers and a t-shirt. He looked around the room and saw Rin standing in front of the window stareing out of it. She then turned around and saw him and smiled.

Sesshomaru walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. " Somethings bothering you." He said to her. Rin turned around and looked at him surprised that he said that. She opened her mouth to object but he cut her off. " It's easy to tell when you smile. You may be smiling but your eyes hold confusion and sadness in them." He looked into hazel eyes as she looked into amber. He then leaned down and placed a light kiss on her lips. Rin kept her eyes open as she kissed him back. She then flashed her eyes to the night stand that was right next to her. This was it. This was her chance! She could slay him right now... as she deepened the kiss to keep his attention on it she reached out for the drawer of the nightstand but her hand froze when she touched the handel.


Right before her eyesRin started to see memories of all the good times she, Sesshomaru, and the rest of her friends had shared. The first time she saw and met Sesshomaru and everyone else. The fun they had in thier classes and during the week ends at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's dorm. Thier first food fight of the year. The time when they played truth or dare. All the fun she had with everyone when they did track and field. How she felt when Sesshomaru saved her from Kagura's prank and Kagura. And when she saw him smile at her and her his friend...that's when she remembered what Sesshomaru said to her both on that day that track and field was over...and today...

' Your my friend. Thats what friends do, they worry about one another and stick by eachothers side. No matter what...'
' I care about you too.'


Rin felt tears form in her eyes as she remember all of this. She immidiatly let go of the handle to the drawer and wrapped both of her arms around Sesshomaru's neck deepening the kiss. How could she betray them...how could she betray him? What did all of these memories mean...why did they effect her so much. Rin didnt want to hurt him. ' I cant do it...I wont slay him...' .

Sesshomaru felt water fall to his hand. Then parted from Rin and she let her arms fall to her sides. He looked at her and asked her in a gentle voice. " Rin, why are you crying?" Rin felt more tears come to her eyes as she looked into his. They were so gentle when they looked at her. His voice when he said her name...his eyes when he looked at her...the way he held her and kissed her...she loved them all...

Rin threw her arms around him buried her face into his chest and started crying. Sesshomaru didnt know why she was crying but he put his arms around her and hugged her hoping it would make her feel better. Rin then looked up at him and kissed him lightly on the lips, never wanting to part from him.

She finally relized why those memories affected her...she finally knew why they were so precious to her...she finnally relized why she didnt want to hurt him...

'I love you...'


Well that's it for now! This chapter made me sort of cry a little bit...( I do that a lot when I read/write sad parts of a story. Well I hope you liked it! I think I should say this...No, Rin didnt tell him that she loved him..she just finally relized it. Anyways the next chapter is called, "Disaster" When Finally relizes her feelings for Sesshomaru. But now what is she going to tell Naraku! And to make maters worse, she and Sesshomaru miss the bus back to the school!


Ok I hope you liked this chapter! I really think I did a good job on the ending. Isnt it sweet/sad/romantic all at the same time. Any ways the next chapter isnt totally filled with disasters. It just mainly has disaster and conflicts. Well I'll update soon like always!
