The AU-ness… OOCness… Romatical…

Title: A Kiss

Rin frowned, shutting her locker. He hallway was deserted; everyone had already gone home no doubt. And that's why, as she headed for the exit, she felt uneasy when she heard even footfalls fast approaching. Bit by bit, she turned her head to see who was walking straight at her. His expression cool and confident, strides fast, and silver hair moving liquidly with each motion.

He made her heart thunder in her ears.

"Ano… S- Sesshoumaru," Rin tried to force her deadweight tongue to form coherent words, but it came out a stuttered mess. He drew to a stop beside her, and quirked a brow at her "greeting".

"Rin," He said smoothly, his voice reminding her of steel wrapped in silk. An involuntary shudder ran down her spine.

"Yes," Rin answered nervously. She fought not to lose her balance, dazzled by his piercing stare.

"Will you accompany me to prom?"

Her mouth fell open, and she almost did a back flip. Sesshoumaru, THE Sesshoumaru, had just asked her, Rin Hotari, to prom! She couldn't help the smile that played across her lips. "Why me?" Rin half-whispered, her excitement dulling. She wasn't the prettiest or the smartest girl in school. Or the most athletic. She was just… Rin.

This is some bet isn't it? Rin realized in horror. Some sick joke he and his friend decided to play on me!

When he didn't answer, she fought to keep the tears stinging her eyes at bay. "Are you going to answer me?" She breathed quietly.

Sesshoumaru looked like her was about to say something, and then stopped short. His eyes took on a frustrated light. "I... can't."

"Is this some twisted game you decided to try me with? Looking for a new toy?" She cried, struggling against the need to smack him.

His molten depths widened, taken aback by the outburst. "No, I-"

"Why?"

"I don't know." His normally deadpan voice was laced with exasperation.

Her mouth fell open.

"I can't stop thinking about you, Rin." Seshoumaru continued, his tone taking on deeper intent. A slender hand lifted her chin, her eyes meeting his as a thumb caressed her cheek. Her breath hitched in her throat, his mouth crashing down to claim hers. He tugged her against him, a low growl escaping his throat with the possessive gesture.

She reached up, grabbing a handful of silver hair as her smaller frame molded to his. He pulled at her lower lip, fangs piercing the soft flesh, drawing beads of blood and causing her to whimper softly. Sesshoumaru pulled away, leaving her a breathless heap at his feet.

His eyes swam with hers, their faces so close their breath still intermingled. "So... will you accompany me?" He broke the heavy silence, his lips twitching upwards into that infamous smirk.

"Do you have to ask?" Rin breathed, feeling air-headed. Man, can he kiss!

Meh, I'm a stupid.
