Author's Notes:3 I would just like to say that in this story, Rin isn't a Sohma. :D In this chapter there are some parts that may be iffy. O.O;; I promise there is no lemon though. . I don't write lemon.
Ring. Ring.
Rin dug through her massive, black purse searching for her cell phone. She pulled it out and flipped her hair out of her face.
"Hello?"
"Hey." A male voice on the other end said. "Rin?"
"Yes, this is she. Who's this?" Rin started to wander down the hallway towards her apartment. She kept the phone to her ear with her shoulder while she continued to dig through the black hole that was her purse, as she looked for her apartment keys.
"This is Haru. You know, from the coffee shop." Rin's mind went back to last week when she had given him her phone number.
"Oh yeah. Hey, Haru. Nice to hear from you." She pulled out her keys and unlocked her door. A note was on the front table from her roommate, Kagura, which said that she was at her boyfriend's house.
"Yeah. I was wondering if you would like to get together tonight. I hear there is a new club called Infinity downtown. I don't know if you're into clubs, but I thought I might offer." Rin dropped her purse on the couch and sat down next to it.
"I was actually planning on going there with my roommate and her boyfriend. Why don't we meet you there and we can just make it a double date?" Rin played with a strand of her hair while she waited for a reply from Haru.
"Sure!" He sounded excited. "That would be great. Is ten o' clock at the bar okay?"
"That sounds great. I'll see you later then." Rin smiled to herself.
"Great. Can't wait to see you. Bye." The phone clicked off and Rin shut her phone off. She sat up and pulled off her coat.
The door clicked and a voice came from the door. "Izuuuuusuuuuuuu! I'm back!" A woman slightly shorter than Rin came in.
"Hey Kagura. How's Shuichi?" Rin went into the small kitchen and pulled out a soda for her and Kagura.
"He's sooooo romantic. He bought me a rose. Just one rose. A red one too!" Kagura flopped down onto the old, musty couch still clutching the rose. Rin walked over and handed her the soda.
"Sounds great. Are we still on for tonight at Infinity? I found a date to go with." Rin took a sip of the soda and then smiled a bit at her friend.
"Really! That's great! Now you won't be a third wheel anymore!" Kagura laughed. "I'm going to go get ready. Shuichi is coming in about two hours." She smirked a bit at Rin. Rin knew that it took Kagura at least two and half-hours to get ready for a date with her boyfriend.
Rin plodded into her room, contemplating what to wear. She scrounged through the bottom of her closet and found a black mini.
"Kagura! What do you think of my red corset top and black mini?" She yelled through the small, two-bedroom apartment.
"It's the perfect look for Infinity!" Kagura yelled back. Rin pulled out her corset top and laced it on. She pulled her hair up into a high ponytail so that it would stay off of her neck while she danced. She pulled on her knee-highs and headed out her bedroom door to wait for Kagura.
Two hours later, Kagura emerged from the bathroom wearing a sparkling blue halter top and a dark blue miniskirt. "Ready?"
"I've been ready for over a while. You take to long to primp." Rin laughed as Kagura glared a bit at her. They grabbed their coats and headed down to meet Shuichi.
They reached the lobby of the apartment building and a tall, dark haired man with bright blue eyes hugged Kagura. "Hey, Sweets." Shuichi smiled down at his small girlfriend.
"Shuichi! I've missed you!" Kagura clung to his arm then looked over at Rin, who was currently rolling her eyes at Kagura, "Are we meeting your date there?"
"You have a date, Rin? You! The ice queen?" Shuichi smiled at her to show that he was joking.
"Yup. I do. Plus, it's a younger man." She smirked at them both and they all started to laugh as they headed towards a taxi that would take them downtown to Infinity.
Haru stood at the bar and checked his watch. Nine forty-five. He was early. His heart beat had been fluctuating all night. He thought he had seen Rin at least twelve times, but they were just girls with long hair.
The music was pounding into his ear. He sipped his drink and glanced around again. Some people stared at his black and white hair, others at his white trench coat and tight leather pants.
"Gah. They probably think I'm gay…" Haru said to himself.
"I'm sure they do, Haru." A woman's voice came from behind him.
"Wha?" He turned around and saw Kagura. "What are you doing here?"
"What? Can't I see my favorite cousin?" She pinched his arm slightly with the hand that wasn't wrapped around Shuichi. Shuichi nodded at Haru, who nodded back. "Are you here alone, Haru?"
"Nah. I'm supposed to be meeting someone." Haru took another drink and glanced at his watch again. Ten fifteen. Now she was late.
"Oh, I could help you look! What does she look like?" Still clutching to Shuichi's arm, Kagura spun around looking for anyone that looked like someone for Haru.
"Who looks like what?" Rin had emerged from behind Shuichi. "Hey Kagura. Haru. Sorry I'm late." Kagura looked from Haru to Rin. Then back from Rin to Haru.
"Haru's the one you're meeting here?" Her eyebrows raised in astonishment.
"What's your point?" Rin stared at her like she was crazy. Haru smirked a little.
"We're cousins." Haru smiled slyly at Rin.
Rin's eyebrows went up a bit. "Really?"
"Heh, I didn't know you were rooming with her. I would've told you, if I knew more." Haru scratched his head feeling a bit nervous.
"Well, you kids have fun talking. Shuichi and I are going to dance! Right, honey?" She pulled on his arm as he smiled down at her. They disappeared into the crowd. Rin turned to Haru.
"So, that is your cousin, huh?" She ordered a drink and slipped onto a barstool near Haru.
"Yeah. Not blood cousins. Just cousins by marriage. Sometimes I wonder how she got into the family." He smiled at her and her heart skipped a beat. Why did he look so different now? She laughed.
"I like your trench. It's very original." She picked at the sleeve a bit feeling the fabric.
"Thanks. My other cousin made it. He owns a small boutique thingy." He finished his drink
"Well. I came here to dance. How about you?" She slid off the barstool and offered a hand to him.
"I don't know… I did come here to meet you, maybe dance." He smirked and let her pull him into the pulsating crowd.
Rin started swaying her hips back and forth to the loud music. Haru followed suit and slipped his hands onto her waist. Their bodies started moving together to the music.
They danced until sweat was streaming down their faces. Kagura and Shuichi had left earlier, since Kagura had a class in the morning.
Haru got Rin's and his jacket and they went out into the cold city air.
"It's so cold!" Rin said as she pulled on her jacket. Haru smiled at her and took a hold of her hand.
"May I walk you home?' Rin nodded up at him, her face shiny and glowing from all of the dancing.
Haru walked Rin home, hand in hand. Talking about school, family, and other things that could fill the air. They reached Rin's apartment and she began to get out her keys.
"Thanks for a wonderful evening, Haru. I hope we can do it again." She smiled at him as she put her key in the door. She started to open it but Haru slammed it shut.
"Hey, you could've woke-" She was cut off from Haru kissing her. He slipped his rough hand around her neck and pulled her closer to him. Her body melted into his. She caressed his head with her hands. Attempting to pull him closer. He slammed her against the door, kissing her harder. While kissing him she opened the door and led him inside.
Breathing hard they went into her bedroom and shut the door. Not to be disturbed until the morning.
