Chapter 18

Rin woke up early and quickly got dress. She hurried and put on make-up, then she grabbed a Poptart and hurried towards the circus…just to make sure she would be on time.

She was halfway to the circus when she heard something behind her. She quickly turned around to see Sesshoumaru right behind her.

"I wish you wouldn't do that. I about used my magic on you." Rin said, turning away angrily and stalking off.

Sesshoumaru kept up with her easily. "I'm sorry." He said.

Rin turned on him. "Yea…I get the feeling that you want me to not have my magic. Having me promise not to read your thoughts and not allowing me to use my magic on you unless I have your permission. What are you hiding anyways?" Rin said angrily.

Sesshoumaru just looked at her calmly. "We all have our secrets, Rin. Aren't we allowed that…even from you mind readers?"

Rin turned away once more. "I just think you are being paranoid."

"What happened to the Rin I have gotten to know since last Friday?" He asked gently.

Rin didn't reply, she just kept walking. As soon as she got to the place where her powers were strong, she transported herself into her tent. Then she used her magic to set up her tent and opened it for the public.

By lunch time, Rin had cooled down from her run in with Sesshoumaru earlier. She had told the fortunes of twenty people that morning and was a bit exhausted. She closed her tent up for lunch and went to the Medieval Burger.

"Good afternoon Rin." The manager said. "How are you this fine afternoon?"

"I'm doing as good as can be expected. I've been meaning to ask you something. What was that crucifix necklace for?"

"Oh, nothing. You can just throw it away. I didn't mean for it to go to you."

"Oh…okay. I'll have a double cheeseburger with barbeque sauce and ketchup."

"Okay…not your usual order, but all right."

Rin walked over to a table and sat down. Sesshoumaru soon sat down in front of her.

"Sorry for this morning." Rin apologized. "I didn't get much sleep because I had this feeling that something or someone was watching me."

Sesshoumaru nodded. "I forgive you. Want to do something tonight?"

"Yea, that would be great."

"What do you want to do?"

"Well, why don't we go out to eat at a restaurant of your choice? Then after that, go to a place where I choose.

"All right, as long as it doesn't involve skating."

"I promise, it won't involve any skating."

"Thanks. I'll meet you at your tent when you finish working." He said and left.

"Here's your food, miss…you're the psychic aren't you?" A boy said, setting down Rin's food.

"Yea, I'm the psychic. You must be new here."
"Yup, I just started yesterday. Uh…It's my lunch break and I was…uh wondering if you would…read my future…if you wouldn't mind."

"Sure." Rin said nicely and she closed her eyes. "You will work for this circus at the Medeival Burger for a few years. Eventually, you will gain psychic powers and…take…my…place as…psychic." Rin opened her eyes.

"Wow." The boy said softly.

"What's your name?" Rin asked.

"My name is Mareo, Mareo Ryoku."

"That name suits you well. Rare Power…Uncommon Power…Mareo Ryoku, the fortune I told you will come true. So be wise young Mareo and may you learn to control your power once have it."

Mareo gave a nod. "Thank you." He said and went back to work.

Rin thought for a moment over what she had foretold. "I guess that I will stop working here now or in a few years." She then ate her sandwich and left for her tent to continue on with her fortune telling.

Rin sighed as she closed up her tent. She used her magic to tidy up what little she had, then went outside. Waiting for her was Sesshoumaru, he was wearing black jeans and a navy blue t-shirt. Rin looked down at she was wearing. She had on black jeans as well, but was wearing a blood red t-shirt.

"Well, we sort of match." Rin said, "may I?"

"May you what?"

She motioned at his clothes.

"Sure, why not. Make us match if you must."

Rin used her magic and turned his navy blue t-shirt into a blood red t-shirt as well. "That color looks good on you." She said softly.

You have no idea, Sesshoumaru thought. "Shall we go, milady?" He asked, offering his arm.

"We shall go, my lord." Rin replied softly. Then they walked to the parking lot.

Once they got to the parking lot, Sesshoumaru once more helped Rin into the car then got in himself. They were silent the whole drive.

After a few minutes in the car, Sesshoumaru pulled into the parking lot for Sizzler. Sesshoumaru helped Rin out of the car and they headed into the restaurant.
They were immediately seated since Sesshoumaru reserved them a table. They both ordered water and Sirloin steaks…Rin's medium well and Sesshoumaru's rare.

Once they had the food, they ate in silence…enjoying every bite. Once they were done eating, Sesshoumaru paid the bill and the tip, then they left.

"Where are we going now?" Sesshoumaru asked Rin once they were in the car.

"We are going to the park and stargaze. And…we will camp out there in the designated camping area."

"Won't we need supplies?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Nope, while at the circus…I used my magic to magically put all that we need in the trunk of your car."

Sesshoumaru nodded in approval. "All right let us go."

When they got to the park, Sesshoumaru and Rin set up the tent…and the rest of their stuff. Then they walked to a hill with a blanket. Once they found the perfect spot to star gaze, Rin laid down the blanket. Sesshoumaru and Rin both laid down and looked up into the sky.
