I do not own Inuyasha
Ch. 2
Rin was done dancing for the evening and gathering her things up.
"Hey Rin, same time tomorrow?" her partner asked.
"Yes Kohaku," she said sweetly, looking up and waved goodbye as he walked out the door.
Today was a good day. She got a lot done with her routine with Kohaku. Next month's competition was in the bag or so she hoped.
She picked up her duffel, turned off the lights and went down the hall to the bathroom to change out of her dress and shoes.
Once done, she was in jeans, a turtle neck, and vans. Looking in the mirror she let her hair out of the braid that it was in and let it fall in wavy locks down her back.
She smiled her appearance in approval and left the bathroom with her bag in tow. Rin was quite content in the moment as she walked to the classroom where her uncle was teaching. She peeked her head in and saw that the class just ended and everyone was packing up to go home. There was a fair few in attendance.
One in particular had silver hair and the cutest ears ever! His back was to her, so as silently as she could, she snuck up behind him. His ear twitched and then he disappeared. Rin cocked her head in confusion.
"Ya know if you try to sneak up on a dog demon, don't breath so hard," Inuyasha said, now standing behind her.
Rin sighed defeat and turned around.
"Hey at least I had to try," Rin replied, giving him a big smile, "So how did your first lesson go?"
"Eh, I guess it could've been worse, I could've been born with two left feet," he said.
"You were," said a deep voice from behind Inuyasha.
"Hey no one asked you," and for the sake of Rin's ears he added quietly, "bastard."
Rin looked to the person who had spoken and laid eyes on the most beautiful man she had ever seen. From what she could tell right off he was of some relation to Inuyasha. Silver hair and eyes a deep gold, and when they landed on her they stopped her breath. They felt like they were stripping her naked. Though while starring into those intense eyes, she remembered what she had read in a demonology class she had taken for the sheer joy of taking it. Making eye contact with demons, especially dog demons, was a silent threat. If the eye contact continued a fight could ensue.
So Rin, with sound mind and common sense, broke eye contact first.
Inuyasha was oblivious to the silent exchange.
"Anyways, this is my half brother Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru, this is Rin," Inuyasha said, introducing them.
"Um,nice to meet you," Rin said meekly, sticking her hand out to shake his. She watched as he eyed her hand as if he was going to eat it. She quickly retracted and scratched her head as if in embarrassment. She had no reason to be, it was proper etiquette, right?
"I'm leaving," were the last two words he said and he turned and left. Rin just cocked her head to the side and shook her head in confusion. What was wrong with that guy?!
"I would apologize for his behavior, but he's like that with everyone," Inuyasha said.
"No need to worry, I won't take it to heart," Rin said, waving it off like it was normal.
"Rin, ready to go home?" another man walked up to them. He was slightly taller than Rin, slim build, black hair with silver hair flecks around the temple.
"Oh yes Uncle Silas," Rin said smiling up at him.
"Ya I have to jet too. Thank you for the lesson sir and see ya later Rin," Inuyasha said before turning and leaving too since everyone else had left for the evening.
Rin and her uncle made their way out of the building, locking up as they went. They made it their car and made their way home. It was a quiet ride, but it was content.
At least in Silas' opinion it was.
Rin on the other hand was deep in thought. Deep in thought about a certain demon she barely knew. It was weird that she couldn't keep her mind off of him. She was so into her thoughts that she didn't even notice when her uncle pulled into their driveway and turned off the engine.
Silas touched her shoulder, making her jump out of her thoughts.
"Are you okay Rin?" he asked, never seeing his niece this deep in thought.
"Oh yes I'm okay," Rin said quickly, unbuckling and getting out of the car. Silas followed, his face scrunched up in concern.
"Are you getting nervous?" he asked.
"Nervous? About what?" she asked in return.
"About the competition next month. You are acting stranger than normal and I was wondering if it was that," he commented they walked up to the door of their home. Silas put the key in the lock and turned it with a click. He let her in first and followed behind, shutting the door.
"On no, its not the competition. Kohaku and I finally have the routine put together enough that now all we have to do is perfect it," Rin reassured him.
"Then what is it?"
Rin looked thoughtful for a moment as she set down her bag on the couch in their living room. She turned to look at her uncle.
"I don't know," she said simply, shrugging her shoulders in the process. She honestly did not know. She thought about what happened again, but it only served to confuse her even more.
"I think I'm going to take a shower and go to bed," she said grabbing up her bag again and went to her room.
Silas watched her go thinking how he has never seen his niece look so…lost.
In Rin's room the gather her pj's and went to her adjoining bathroom and promptly turned on her shower. She stripped down while the water was heating and looked at herself in the mirror. She wasn't much to look at in her opinion. She had small breasts, a tiny waist, small butt, lanky legs. To make up for all this, she was well toned from all the dancing she does. She also had one other redeeming quality and that was her birthmark situated on her left hip.
It kind of reminded her of a crescent moon. Similar to…no stop thinking about him! It was purely coincidence. Besides she was way out of his league.
Rin shrugged her shoulders at her reflection and stepped into the shower. She let the water run down and she simply let the day wash away down the drain, especially a certain demon that caught her eye.
XOXO
Sesshomaru felt like he was drowning. Granted he was standing in his shower but he could not get a certain pair of brown eyes out of his mind.
He did not understand.
She looked him straight in the eye and she didn't threaten him at all, but if she hadn't looked away when she did he would have had her on the wall with his fangs in her neck.
Damn.
He did not understand how one slip of a human girl could break his control like that, well almost, with just one look in the eyes.
It only left him one conclusion. She was his mate.
Impossible.
He couldn't and he wouldn't. He has lived hundreds of years and he has never needed or wanted a mate.
He would not become his father and mate a human.
So with his resolve and mind made up, Sesshomaru promptly turned off the water to his shower and let the images of those brown eyes go down the drain.
XOXO
The next lessons for Inuyasha were uneventful.
Sesshomaru made sure Inuyasha made it to his lessons and then left half way through as to avoid a little certain someone. He wasn't being a coward, but he couldn't help but feel nervous when the scent of that girl Rin was nearby.
Maybe he was being a coward. Whatever.
The month was almost to a close and so to prove to himself he wasn't going to run away halfway through Inuyasha's lessons, he promptly sat down at his usual spot. He opened his computer and started typing away, ignoring everyone in the room as he did so.
Until a certain scent caught his nose. The source to the scent came through doors of the dance hall. Everyone turned to the newcomer as she set up the stereo. Then she turned around and addressed everyone.
"Hello everyone. My name is Rin and I will be your instructor this evening," she said with enthusiasm.
"What happened to-?"
"He unfortunately has caught the common cold and will be away for a couple days. So as I understand it you are finishing up the waltz and ready to move onto the foxtrot?"
Everyone nodded their heads in affirm.
"Well sorry but that won't be till next lesson I'm afraid. This lesson I would like you to take what you have learned and perfect it. Embellish it, be exotic in your moves and most importantly have fun. Please grab a partner and dance your heart out," Rin said, turning and putting the music.
Everyone got up and did exactly that. Rin walked around and corrected slight mistakes. Occasionally she would look from under her eyelashes and spy at Sesshomaru. He was on his computer, but the odd thing was that it didn't look like he was typing.
So plucking up a little bit of courage she had and walked over to where he was sitting. Sesshomaru looked up from his computer as she approached.
"Hey, would you care to dance?" Rin asked, hoping he would and hoping he wouldn't. She had many mixed feelings for this man.
To her surprise he closed his laptop, set it aside and stood up. Rin smiled and held out her left hand for him to take. His own hand lifted and took her own. When their skin connected it sent a shock through both of their systems.
Rin outwardly flinched, but Sesshomaru showed no signs of being affected. As if nothing happened Sesshomaru led Rin to the dance floor.
He took her into his arms and off they went. He could dance, Rin would give him that, but the guy was stiff. He had no emotion and he had no passion that she could tell while she danced with him. It was slightly depressing. He also avoided having eye contact with her. She was also avoiding eye contact, but that wasn't the point. There was nothing here while she was in his arms. She shouldn't've gotten her hopes up.
The song ended and they parted ways. She saw Sesshomaru pack up and leave, leaving her standing there wondering: What the hell did I expect?
When she got home that night she went to her room and threw herself on her bed and cried herself to sleep without even knowing why the hell she was.
XOXO
