Chapter 19

"Why don't we try to find shapes in the stars?" Rin asked, a hint of her childhood coming out in her voice. "My mom and dad used to do it with me before they died and then I would do it by myself whenever I felt alone."

"Okay, you go first."

Rin stared up into the sky. She muttered a few words and all of the lights, close by, went out so the stars could be well seen. She then scanned the sky for shapes. Finally, she found one. "I found stars that make the shape of the a wolf howling at the moon."

"I see it," Sesshoumaru said. "I see the shape of a bat between the wolf and the moon."

"Ah, I see it. Maybe the wolf is howling at the bat for getting in the way of the moon. I see the shape of a man and a woman kissing."

"I…I don't see it." Sesshoumaru said, scanning the sky.

Rin leaned over to Sesshoumaru and kissed him softly. He returned the kiss then Rin pulled away. "Now do you see it?" Rin asked mischievously.

"Yea. I see a hula dancer."

"I see it too. I see a…um…I don't know."

"I see a vampire." Sesshoumaru said softly.

"I don't see it. I see a woman whose hair is blowing in the wind."

"To me, I see a woman whose beauty far surpasses that of any other." Sesshoumaru said looking at Rin.

Rin looked over at Sesshoumaru. "I see a man who tries too hard to capture a woman's heart."

"Really, is that what you truly see?"

"Yea, that is what I truly see. You have already captured my heart."

"But…" he whispered, "will I be able to keep it?"

"I…don't know…" Rin replied back.

In just a few seconds, Sesshoumaru and Rin were kissing passionately. Sesshoumaru was on top of Rin. Soon, their tongues wrestled for their place. After awhile, Sesshoumaru pulled away for breath. Rin gasped for breath as well.

"I…uh…think…that…we…should…go to…the…tent…" Rin said, out of breath.

"I…agree…" Sesshoumaru replied. He then got up and lifted Rin up into his arms. Then he carried her to the tent to finish what they started underneath the stars.

Sesshoumaru woke up to find Rin cuddling close by him. He smiled slightly, but then it turned to a frown when he thought of what he was planning to do today. Not wanting that time to come faster he closed his eyes, trying to go back to sleep. It was useless, after last night, he was finding it hard to control the beast inside him from taking Rin without at least asking for her permission. He reopened his eyes and looked over at Rin and watched her chest rise and fall with each breath. He watched as her heart beat to a different rhythm than that of her breathing. He wanted to turn her, but he controlled himself.

It won't be too much longer, he told himself, until she and I can be together forever. He sighed slightly as the beast backed down, knowing that it would get what it wanted soon.

Rin opened up her eyes to see Sesshoumaru staring at her. "Good morning." She said softly as she got up. She used her magic to change her clothes. She was now wearing the same thing she wore to help set up the circus. "We better hurry. I don't want to be late my last day of this year's circus."

Sesshoumaru nodded and got up. Rin left the tent so he could get dressed. Once Sesshoumaru was dressed and outside, they worked together to pack up their stuff. When they finished, they both got into the car and Sesshoumaru drove to the circus.

Rin used her magic once they got to the circus to get rid of their camping gear. Then she got out of the car. Sesshoumaru quickly got out too.

"Can I stay with you all day?" Sesshoumaru asked, a bit seductively.

"Of course. But you'll have to be invisible."

Sesshoumaru gave a nod.

Rin grabbed his hand and teleported him and her to her tent. Once there, Rin once again made herself levitate to be face to face with Sesshoumaru. Then she leaned forward and kissed him on each cheek and whispered a few words. Sesshoumaru then felt a tingling sensation go through his entire body once more. Rin then moved a foot back and lowered herself to the ground.

"Don't I get a real kiss this time?"

Rin looked him up and down. "Nah, I think what you got last night was enough. Now go sit over in the corner, I have work to do."

Sesshoumaru and Rin were at Kagome and Rin's apartment. Rin was resting from using her magic to help the circus pack up so it could go to its next destination. It had once again token up all her strength.

"I don't think I'll help the circus anymore." Rin said.

"Why not?" Sesshoumaru asked curiously.

"Well, yesterday…I foretold that this young man was going to take my place in a few years. And, I'm getting tired of telling fortunes for everyone who comes."

"But the circus heightens your powers, won't you miss that."

"No, not really. And if I every need to heighten my powers, I can always go to your place or my store. Anywhere that's rumored to by haunted and full of supernatural things heighten my power. And, if I wanted to, I could take the dampener of my powers then they will always be heightens."

"Oh." Sesshoumaru said.

"So, what are we going to do tonight?" Rin asked cuddling up to Sesshoumaru's muscular chest.

"Well, there are many things we could do." He replied.

"What do you want to do?"

"Well…nah…dumb idea."

"What is it?"

"How would you like to go back to the first place we met and rent the VIP area?"

"Hmm…I…like that idea. I've never been in the VIP area. But only if you promise not to drink alcohol, I hate the smell of alcohol breath."

"Agreed. Let's go……………………………after I do something I need to do. I'll be back by seven to pick you up."

"Ok," Rin replied.

Sesshoumaru left.

"I hope seven hurries up and come."

Sesshoumaru, needing to feed himself a bit so he could control his thirst until Rin either agreed to become a vampire or didn't.

He went to the house of the manager. The manager was asleep. Sesshoumaru moved the manager's head to expose the throat then bit down and drunk some blood.

Well folks, the second to last chapter is here. Sad ain't it. It's almost finished. I decided not to put up the epilogue I wrote...because its kind of dumb, strange, and doesn't fit to well. Anyone is welcomed to write a sequal to this becuase I will not. I'm having a major writing block when it comes to Sess/Rin Fanfiction. Sorry, die hard fans...if I have any. Well, TTFN.
