Chapter 4: What A Day
Rin managed to calm herself down by the time she walked back on to campus. Stupid dog demon, acting like he was in charge of everything. Then she headed for the auditorium. Along the way she passed by the dojo where she would be taking Judo. The sign out front said it opened at six in the morning. She decided to come by later and workout. Just as she was about to turn, a soft female voice startled her, "my dear, you should be heading to the auditorium with everyone else. Do you know the way, dear?"
Rin turned around to see a very beautiful woman. Her hair was jet black and hung down her back. The woman's bangs hung over her forehead. Rin bowed her head. "I'm sorry. I was just on my way and this building caught my eye."
The woman laughed lightly, smiling lightly. "What is your name dear?"
"My name is Rin Campbell, ma'am." She lifted her head up again.
The teacher bowed her head to her. "Ah, you're Carlotta Campbell's daughter?"
"I knew someone would figure out who I am."
"Oh no dear, your mother made an arrangement with the school to protect your identity. I'm Mrs. Taisho, Toga Taisho's wife."
"You're my judo teacher?" she raised a nervous eyebrow. The woman was slight and definitely didn't look athletic.
She burst into laughter. "No," she covered her mouth with her slender fingers, giggling like a schoolgirl. "But I am your creative writing teacher. You know writing is the painting of the voice."
"Voltaire. Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of creative people."
"Burnette. What else do you like to read?" Izayoi asked with a giant smile on her face.
"Honestly fantasy. For a while I tried Shakespeare, but it was too much work for me, Mrs. Taisho."
"Please call me Izayoi," they both turned on their heels and headed in the same direction as everyone else. "I'm so excited to have an American in my class. How is your Japanese?"
"I took classes back home," Rin said proudly.
"You'll need to know enough for my class. I ask my students to write in Japanese and in English. May I ask, what inspires you to write?"
Rin was shocked to hear the question. "Mmh, ever since I've started reading, I've always wanted to write. I've actually started writing my first story. I still have a while before it's complete though."
"That's wonderful to hear, Miss Rin. I hope to see great work from you."
Rin smiled at her teacher knowing that she would like Izayoi. They both arrived at the building where everyone was heading inside. "Head inside Miss Rin before all the seats get taken dear."
She bowed to Izayoi and walked in the doors. She walked inside the building and found Koharu right near the doors. "Rin! There you are," Koharu waved to get her attention. "Come let's get a seat before they're all taken." The girls headed down to the middle where Kohaku was waiting. "After orientation do you have any plans for today?"
"I'm going to go to the dojo and workout. I have a black belt in Judo. I'd like to keep up my game."
"The dojo is amazing. It's huge inside. I heard the teacher who runs the class is very strict with his students but amazing. Not sure what his name is though," Kohaku informed the group.
"I have a class there. I think the name said Taisho," Rin informed him.
Very soon the auditorium got quiet. A silver haired man who reminded Rin of Fluffy walked onto the stage with Inuyasha next to him. He had his hair pulled back into a long ponytail. His cheeks were striped bluish purple. "I wonder if this is Inuyasha and Fluffy's father?"
"Good afternoon students. I am your headmaster Inu no Taisho. But you will refer to me as Toga."
"I wonder if he's my Judo teacher?" Rin thought.
"Welcome to a new year at Shikon Academy. It's good to see some old faces and new ones this year. I hope you all had an amazing summer and I hope this new year will be wonderful for you all. Now for the rules:
"Use of supernatural powers are allowed on campus but not for fighting. Defending yourself is allowed.
"If you are caught fighting you will be given a warning. Failure to comply will be an automatic detention. A second violation will result in expulsion and a permanent banning from campus.
"No smoking on campus or inside your dorms. There are designated areas where it's permitted off campus. First offense is a verbal warning. Second offense is grounds for expulsion. We are trying to make this campus eco-friendly.
"No littering. Please throw away your trash in the proper bins."
Rin was still listening to Toga when she felt like she was being watched. In her peripheral vision she could have sworn she saw Fluffy watching her. "What's his freaking deal? I don't know whose vibes are worse, Fluffy's, or the boy whose nose I broke yesterday. I hope he didn't listen to my conversation again!" Anger flooded his eyes. Rin just ignored him and went back to listening to Toga.
"Students, I expect excellence from all of you. Please go ahead and make your way over to the gymnasium to pick up your class schedule if you haven't yet. Tables are set by the first letter of your last name. Have a wonderful weekend. Remember the rules." He warned, wagging his clawed finger in the air as he left.
Rin and everyone else stood up and made their way to the back of the building to walk back outside. She could still feel Fluffy's eyes on her back. She didn't turn around to look. Rin kept her head forward as she, Koharu, and Kohaku exited the building. "Rin, we'll catch up with you later. You can meet us at the pavilion around five for dinner." Koharu said warmly.
"Sure, Koharu. I'll see you all later." Rin walked off in a different direction from her friends. "I think I should head back to the dorm and change. Then I'll head over to the dojo."
After walking for several minutes Rin arrived back at her dorm and changed into a white sports bra, a white shirt, black yoga pants, and white sneakers. Rin stuck her martial arts shoes in her bag. She also put on a matching white light cotton jacket.
Sesshomaru was heading towards the dojo when he saw Rin walking in the direction of the building. "Mmh, she did decide to go! She will have no choice but to show me her techniques. Seeing her fight off that bastard and trying to fight me today, I can tell she has been trained. I want to see more from her." Sesshomaru continued following Rin when he saw her walking up the steps to go inside. "I bet she doesn't know the proper etiquettes for entering inside..." at least he thought.
Sesshomaru watched her bow right outside the doors, then removed her jacket, and shoes before she walked inside. "So she was taught about etiquette. I'll give her credit for that," Sesshomaru smiled and followed the same protocol as Rin. After he did the proper respects he walked inside the building. He saw Rin near the middle of the building. She put her things inside her bag. She removed the proper shoes for the dojo, tied her hair back in a ponytail, and set her bag on a chair. "I'll give her credit for bringing the proper shoes. I still need to see what she was taught back in the states," Sesshomaru thought as he walked towards Rin.
She hadn't noticed that she was being stalked by Sesshomaru again. She had her back to him.
He gazed on as she began warm up stretches. He was several feet behind her "so you decided to show up after all? Now you will have no choice but to show me your skills."
Rin froze in her tracks. She slowly turned around. "Really?" She was not happy. She had no idea what this guy's issue was and why he kept following her around.
"Yes and you cannot turn down my offer." He leaned over her, hands behind his back, practically breathing in her ear.
"Actually I can," she sat on the floor with one leg bent into her body and the other stretched out. She leaned over the outstretched foot, "there is no rule in Judo that says I have to accept a challenge from an opponent."
His breath down her back gave her chills. "Actually there is. Look over there, on the wall," he walked with purpose over to a sign that hung on the eastern wall. It listed the rules of the dojo. The first one was to respect the sensei.
"Yeah, but you aren't my sensei," Rin rolled her eyes and switched her legs around stretching over the one that had been folded before.
"I am. As of this year, I am teaching the Judo classes as part of my graduation requirements. Therefore you may refer to me as Sesshomaru-sensei," he gloated as he circled the girl.
Rin's eyes dilated. Her mouth fell open. She jumped up faster than any normal human should have been able to and said, "fine, if you're the teacher, I'm dropping the class." She stormed to the chair holding her bag. "Stalker," she whispered under her breath.
He was in front of her in a flash of light, "I am not a stalker."
"Oh yeah, then why have you been following me around? Staring at me?" She folded her hands over her breasts.
His eyes couldn't help but follow the curves of the elbows as they boosted the package underneath. "I find you…" he was in trouble now. He stopped, trying to gather his speech, "I find you intriguing."
"Really? Me… intriguing. What exactly about me is intriguing?" She found herself closing the gap between them until only centimeters separated them, until she could feel his breath that was coming out faster against her lips. "Why me?"
"You are strong," he whispered, captured by her dark brown eyes, by the scent of Japanese cherry blossoms that permeated her skin and gave rise to his heat. "Because you defy me. Stay," it came out as a request rather than the demand he had meant it to. He searched her eyes. His gaze fell on her plump lips. His tongue brushed over the top of his own. He imagined they tasted as ripe as they looked.
Rin stared at this strange man, demon, thing that kept stalking her around campus like a hungry snake. His eyes were the oddest color of gold she had ever seen and so close if she just bent her neck the slightest bit those cream colored lips would connect with hers. His breath was hot, sending tremors down her spine. She swallowed trying to regain her focus on being mad at him. "I will stay," holding up a finger. "On one condition."
"Being?" He couldn't get his tone to rise higher. Her lips were calling to him. They were so close. He just needed to tilt his head a little more than they would be his.
"Coffee." She choked out the word.
"Coffee?" He moved himself back from her at this strange request.
"You take me out for coffee afterwards. I came here to work out. Not to learn. I like to have a treat when I'm done," she paced backwards a few steps rubbing her arms as if that would calm her nerves. "Not to mention, it's the least you can do after knocking me down twice."
He considered her request pacing back and forth, his silver pony tail whipping in the air as he did. "I will agree. Finish your stretching then meet me on the mats in five minutes. And remember your language. Such… flamboyant language is not allowed in my dojo."
Rin trailed behind him back to the mats. She lowered herself down into side splits. She mumbled under her breath a few choice words about her new sensei. She still hadn't decided if she would keep the class or not.
"Like I said, respect me girl. You must have forgotten that demons have enhanced hearing. I can pick out everyone's voice on campus. I can also tune out voices." He corrected her.
Sesshomaru sat down behind her, legs outstretched behind hers and pushed her back forward into her stretch. Oh, how warm and inviting that pale skin was. At this angle he could see the dip in her neck, and take in her scent. "Lean into it more. Your muscles will never loosen in this position." The bottom of his palm pressed against the rising hem of her shirt. The small of her back was just visible where her shirt wasn't long enough to cover it.
Rin bent further into the stretch until her torso touched the floor. She rocked her hips back and forth loosening the muscles. She groaned at the pressure he was putting on her lower back. She didn't want to admit that there was something familiar about his touch. She sat up, not realizing how close he was to her. Her back pressed into a warm chest. "Now to the side," he raised one of her arms up over her head.
"Do all the students get this kind of attention?" She swallowed as his fingers tickled down her wrist over her elbow then firmly grasped her waist to arch her further into the stretch.
"I treat my students equally," why couldn't he get his voice to go an octave higher? Did he have to sound like this?
"Good to know," she arched to the other side. His hands did the same as before. Claws pulled the side of her hand further to her foot. They pricked down her wrist before landing on her abdomen, urging her to stretch further than she could on her own.
Sesshomaru was in heaven. Her stomach was firm. It gave the appearance through her clothing of being tender, instead what he found were muscles and many of them. She was limber. He was excited to spar with her, to see how strong she really was. Why did his instincts have to torment him? She whipped her hair out of the way. The bundle of strands landed right in his face. He couldn't help but inhale deeply before batting the strands annoyed off his nose. She was doing something to him and he didn't like it. He wouldn't debase himself with a human. He got off the mats quickly and said, "I want to see what you're capable of mastering. I won't go easy on you. I expect you.." Sesshomaru pointed in the direction of the mats "on those mats in five minutes. Do not disrespect me girl. Remember to bow."
Rin tried to stop herself from rolling her eyes for the millionth time. She stood up and continued stretching her arms. "Tell me why I must show you what I've mastered?"
"You broke that Endo boy's nose. He was human, let's see how well you are matched against one such as I," Sesshomaru walked down where the mats were and placed his bag on the chairs. He placed his hair into a ponytail, then braided it down and tied it again.
Five minutes later he headed over to the mat along with Rin. They both bowed, then stepped onto the mat. Rin took a deep breath, "what move would you like to see me do first?" Her face was calm. She was used to this. Her parents put her in Judo when she was seven years old after she got into a fight with Tom Cruise's son on the playground. He broke her favorite bracelet. After that they wanted to make sure she could defend herself. Being the daughter of a famous actress could be hazardous at times.
"We'll start with the basics. I want to start with defense. I'll come at you and then I want you to block my attack."
Rin nodded her head. She stood at the ready, fists up to block her torso, feet shoulder width apart. In the blink of an eye he came at her so quickly, he expected her to be unable to block it. She thrust her fist up in an uppercut, blocking his outstretched hand. "Good, now again!" He did the same thing and flew at her. "Good, now I'm going to try to come at you from behind."
Rin turned her back to him.
Sesshomaru smirked because he was finding this intriguing. He didn't think Rin would be able to stop his attack this time. He flew at her feet leaving the mats. She jumped into the air, somersaulting backwards over his body. She kicked her foot at Sesshomaru's shin and knocked him to the ground. He landed on his knees, shocked by her agility. He got to his feet fast. She moved to a defensive stance again. "Clever move girl. You've got some skills for being human. Now I want to see your roundhouse kick as I try to block your move. Come at me and show me what you got."
Rin took a few deep breaths and got in the proper stance. She kicked her foot towards Sesshomaru's head. He blocked her with his clawed hand. "Very clever human. You have been taught very well."
She smiled softly at him. The easing of her lips upwards made his heart skip a beat, stronger than it had in the past. He forced himself to ignore the emotions welling inside of him. For a human she was very worthy.
"Thanks, I was taught by a wonderful bobcat demon back home."
Sesshomaru started to walk around Rin in circles like earlier. She remained focused on him. "Tell me girl, how long have you been practicing for?" Sesshomaru asked as he came up behind her again.
Rin was able to sense him. She jumped out of the way landing in a crouched position. "I've been practicing since I was seven. I got my black belt when I was thirteen."
Sesshomaru was impressed with the answer. "Who is your master?" Sesshomaru asked as he started to circle Rin.
"His name was Master Kosuke."
Sesshomaru made a sudden move that knocked Rin off her feet. She landed on her butt. "It seems you need more practice, girl. I suggest you keep your Judo class while you attend here!" Sesshomaru's eyes were on Rin while she got back to her feet.
"That's nothing. You just caught me off guard."
He kept his composure. "Now I want to see what else you've learned back home in America." Sesshomaru and Rin continued with several different moves for the next two hours. He pushed her to her limits until her moves became sloppy from exhaustion. "You need stamina."
"We've been sparring for two hours," she used a towel to wipe the sweat from her neck and shoulders. "Fluffy," she thought indignantly.
"You may leave now. Don't forget to bow."
Rin knew the protocols already. She bowed to him and stepped off the mat. She went over and picked up her stuff. Rin arrived at the door to take off her martial arts shoes and put them away. She bowed again. "You still owe me coffee Fluffy," she smiled from outside the dojo, waved, and walked away quickly.
Sesshomaru watched her walk off towards the freshman dorms. He could see the sweat dripping down her slender neck. He could still smell her sweet scent through her sweaty clothes. How he wanted to go over to her and lick the sweat on her neck. "Why must this girl be so inviting? And why the hell did I agree to take her out for coffee? What the hell is wrong with me?" Sesshomaru was so aggravated that he stooped so low. "I might as well take her out later today that way I can get it over with."
Sesshomaru headed towards his dorm so he could shower. As he was walking, he could smell Rin's scent on him. It was making his lips water. He forgot how closely he had touched her while they were stretching. He could smell her scent along his hands and fingers. He was resisting the urge to lick his skin in the open. He knew once he was in his dorm, he could take Rin's scent into his mouth.
After another ten minutes Sesshomaru was back in his dorm. He shut the door and locked it. He placed his back against the door and brought his fingers to his lips. He very slightly opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue to lick his skin. He was able to taste her scent. It caused his heart to skip a beat. To finally be able to taste her scent was sending shivers through his body. "She tastes amazing. But why does she have to be human? Why couldn't she be a youkai like me?" He knew this was going to be one long year. He would not give in.
He needed to get a shower. He was going to hate himself when he had to wash her scent away. But he hated to smell like sweat. Sesshomaru headed into his bathroom and turned on the hot water and undressed. Once the steam built up, he stepped over the tub. As he was showering his mind went back to Rin. He began to imagine her here in the shower with him. He wanted to wash her firm body. He wanted her to carry his scent of mint along her soft pale skin. His mind began to think of other things that he wanted to do to her. His breathing picked up with lust. His mouth was watering more than usual. He wanted to move his mouth along her wet skin. He wanted to put his manhood inside her. Sesshomaru had to grip the tub as he quietly moaned at his thoughts. He imagined himself thrusting inside her.
Sesshomaru gritted his teeth thinking about Rin. "Why must I think about Rin? Why would I even picture her showering with me? Making love to her? Why would I even think such crap?" Sesshomaru cleared his thoughts and finished his shower. Once he washed off Rin's scent, he shut the water off and stepped out of the tub. He grabbed his towel and dried himself off. Sesshomaru placed the towel back on the rack and walked into his room to change.
Rin stepped into the hot shower to wash the sticky sweat away. The steamy water felt great against her skin. After several more minutes she shut the water off, stepped over the tub, grabbed her towel, and dried herself off from head to toe. Once she was dry Rin wrapped the towel around her small frame. She faced the mirror and combed out her long hair. After that was done she got dressed in a button up blue jean flared knee length skirt, and a yellow tank top. Once that was done, she pulled her hair into a tight ponytail and then placed it into a braid.
Walking back into the dorm, she grabbed a pair of white no show socks and her dark blue Margaritaville slip on sneakers. She took a seat on her bed and put them both on. She also put on her new locket. Once that was done a knock came at the door. With a confused look on her face Rin got up and walked over to the door and unlocked it. When she opened the door she was a bit shocked to see Sesshomaru standing there. He gulped and blushed. It must be because she dressed up nicely. She didn't care about that. Rin couldn't comprehend how he found her dorm. "How… how did you know this was my dorm?" she asked, confused.
He raised an eyebrow. "You clearly need to step up your learning on demon's, girl. I could pick up your scent very easily when I walked inside the dormitories," he spoke sternly.
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Why are you here?" Rin demanded. She crossed her arms under the peak of her breasts and perked them up.
His lips parted with the movement of her arms. Sesshomaru's eyes went slightly red. "You need to stop tempting me. It seems you've forgotten the promise I agreed to after our sparring back in the dojo. Let's go before I change my mind girl."
Rin rolled her eyes again. "Let me grab my bag and keys." Rin muttered some other words under her breath. She hoped he couldn't hear. She was wrong.
"Watch your tone girl, I heard every word you just said."
"Damn his good dog hearing," Rin thought as she put her bag on her back. She turned back around to face her Fluffy Judo teacher. "Ready to go Fluffy?" Rin looked up at the silver haired man smiling, with hands together in front of her.
"Mmh," was all Sesshomaru said in a grumpy tone.
She smirked as they both walked out into the hallway. Rin was getting ready to press the button for the elevators when Sesshomaru gripped her arm. "No, we're taking the stairs. I don't want anyone seeing us. We'll be exiting out the back doors." Sesshomaru let go of her arm and they both headed down the stairs.
"You know you could have just told me instead of gripping my arm. Why don't you want anyone to see us walking together? It's going to happen once we step outside the doors. It seems you're not so clever yourself."
He made a deep growling sound from inside his chest.
Rin put it off and thought nothing of it. Once they reached the bottom floor, Sesshomaru led the way out the backdoor. He looked at the surroundings around them. Rin thought he was being weird for doing that. "We're not going to that chain coffee place that you went to yesterday."
Rin stopped walking and just stared at him. "You followed me to Starbucks? Why the hell did you do that? Did you follow me to the bookstore as well?"
"I'm not going to play the twenty question game with you girl!"
"You're such a freakin' stalker Fluffy and it's freaking creepy. What is it? Did your freaking inner youkai call for me? Because that would be a first for me."
"Enough with the twenty questions girl." They were almost near the front entrance of the school.
"Hey, you're the one who brought up that you followed me to the damn coffee shop yesterday. So I'm entitled to ask questions. So where is this different coffee shop you are planning on leading us? Am I allowed to at least ask that oh great Fluffy?"
"Watch your tongue girl. This shop is in the opposite direction." Sesshomaru led them to the right this time. It didn't matter where it came from. Coffee was coffee to Rin. "I don't care for that chain place. I'd rather get my drink from a family owned business. Be respectful, girl. This family is very well known in this town."
Rin just eyed him. "Wasn't planning on being rude. I know not to disrespect any place or anyone." Except for Fluffy who was standing right next to her.
He growled under his breath. She just rolled her eyes hoping he didn't see. "You better not act like this in my class come Monday."
"I won't. Why would I be disrespectful to my teacher? You aren't my teacher right now. So do you plan on testing my skills against the other students?"
He was annoyed with all the questions. "Mmh, perhaps. But you still need stamina. You're not going to get far with your current skill set."
"You must have forgotten I mentioned that I've been doing this for several years."
"You still need stamina. I recommend you get up earlier than you usually do. Go to the gymnasium and workout."
"Sure whatever you say."
Sesshomaru just ignored her. "Out of all the schools in the states, why did you choose to come here to Japan?" Sesshomaru asked in an unpleasant tone. They were just outside the coffee shop when Rin froze in her tracks.
She was shocked he asked this question. She ignored his tone. She looked up at him and answered his question. "Umm, you see, I wanted to go somewhere different. Somewhere where humans and demons get along," Rin announced. She folded her arms under her breasts. She didn't perk them up this time.
"Mmh," was all Sesshomaru said. He did the polite thing and held the door open for Rin.
"How very gentleman of you, thank you." Rin walked in and Sesshomaru followed suit. "So what coffee do you recommend here?" Rin asked kindly. She heard him huff.
"Caffe macchiato is their house coffee."
"Sounds good to me." It was a bit packed for a late afternoon. "Wow this place is a lot busier than Starbucks," Rin announced.
"Mmh."
Rin wanted to get more words out of him. So she decided to ask him a simple question. "What are you majoring in?" She didn't know if she'd get an answer from him. But she hoped he did.
"I'm majoring in business. I might as well ask what you're majoring in?"
"Creative writing. My dream is to become a world renowned author."
"Mmh."
She was getting tired of almost one-word answers. "Is 'mmh' all you can say?" Rin said jokingly. He just ignored her. After waiting ten minutes they finally arrived at the counter.
"Good afternoon you two. What can I get you both?" A female lizard demon behind the counter asked.
"Two café macchiatos to go please," Sesshomaru informed the girl .
"Of course, that will be 539.68 yen please." He pulled out his wallet and handed the Lizard demon his card. After the coffee was paid for, the lizard demon said, "it will be about a five minute wait. So please make your way to the end of the counter for now." Rin and Sesshomaru walked down to the end of the counter to wait for their coffee to be made.
"269.84 yen is not bad for a coffee. That would make it $2.20 each back in the states. I think I'll start coming here instead of Starbucks."
"You know your currency very well," Sesshomaru stated.
"Yeah, my parents taught me well. I've been to different countries and was taught their currencies. Japan was the first country I visited back when I was young. So I am able to do the math pretty easily."
"Mmh. So how did you acquire that burn scar on your neck?" Sesshomaru asked, changing the subject. He could smell the change in her emotions.
She reached behind her neck, timidly touching the raised skin. "I don't like talking about it. It's a story that doesn't need to be told to anyone."
"Mmh. Does it hurt?" He asked, curiously.
Rin looked up at him curious. "No, it hasn't hurt for a long time." Rin was still rubbing her fingers along her scar.
"So you're not afraid to show it off but won't speak of it?"
Rin couldn't look his way. "It's… it's a part of me. When I was younger I was afraid to show it. I would wrap scarves around my neck. I would even do it during the summer. But my parents… my adopted parents taught me to embrace this scar. They told me to not be afraid of people's words. Even if they find something wrong with it. After they gave me that speech I started to show off my scar and ignored everyone who tried to bring me down," Rin informed him. She looked up at his golden spheres. His face was expressionless.
He didn't respond.
After their coffee was made and placed on the counter, Sesshomaru picked both of them up and handed one to Rin. "Thank you." He wasn't surprised she had manners.
Sesshomaru just nodded. They both took a sip of their coffee. Rin turned her head a different way as she took another sip of her coffee. Sesshomaru watched her lips take in the hot beverage.
"Why do I still have this urge to kiss her? Damn this inheritance I gained from my father." As they were getting ready to walk outside an unpleasant smell hit Sesshomaru's nose. He let out a deep growl and turned his head to the left. Rin turned to see his eyes glowing red. Looking in the direction he was facing, Rin looked to see what he was staring at. She saw the same demons from earlier.
"Well, well, it's been a while? Hasn't it, Sesshomaru? I see you're doing well."
He let out a deep growl from deep inside his chest. "Mmh, Naraku."
"What a shock to see you're still so cold. Why am I not surprised to see you with this human girl? You're just like your father and younger brother Inuyasha." The male demon had unruly curly hair tied in a half ponytail.
"What does he mean just like his father and brother?" Rin thought. Everyone in the building turned to see what was going on.
"I have to say she's quite an ugly human girl. She seems pretty weak. Why are you here with her?" The red eyed female spoke.
The awkward moment was broken by Rin nearly choking on her coffee in laughter. She giggled so hard she ended up with froth on top of her nose. Sesshomaru glanced at her direction wondering what the hell was wrong with her. "I'm sorry… is this like some kind of reunion? Because lady, you have jealousy wafting off you in waves."
"I'd watch yourself if I were you," the female said, closing the fan she had in her hand threateningly.
"Or you'll what? Wave that fan in my face?" Rin shifted her feet to a ready position. Her fingers dappled lightly against the paper hot cup.
Kagura took a threatening step forward. It was answered by Sesshomaru blocking Rin with his own body. "Back off Kagura," he intoned firmly.
"You really are just like your father," Kagura opened her white fan, running her finger along the white folds.
"I might as well get my time worth out of this," Rin said half to herself as she came out from behind Sesshomaru's back. She trailed her hand along his back, enjoying the deep curves of his muscles. His eyes widened watching that hand run sinuous lines up his stomach. It stopped just at the apex of his pecks. She gripped his shirt and pulled his face down to hers. She'd been tempted by those damn lips all day long. They were just as warm and hot as she thought they were. She forced her tongue into his mouth, seeking purchase to the roof of his mouth. She tangled her fingers into his hair, grinning into the kiss. He tasted musky and oddly sweet like the coffee that had graced his lips. She rolled the tip of her tongue over his, encouraging him to return the kiss.
His heart lightened, his pulse increased. Her mouth was like heaven. Those plump lips were as succulent as he had imagined and her tongue dancing in his mouth was the most erotic thing he had experienced. His arms acted of their own accord and wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. He prayed she didn't feel what was happening in his pants.
She pulled away abruptly, slapped his ass and chuckled, "thanks for the coffee, Sesshomaru. See you around, what did you say your name was?" She turned on the demoness who had been taunting her. "He's a great kisser, I can see why you're jealous." She wiped the sides of her mouth with her thumb.
The demoness and her partner were speechless.
Rin just waved and walked out of the coffee shop with her head held high and her cheeks a bit rosier than she had ever experienced before.
