Thank you to everyone who reviewed the first chapter and encouraged me to post this one. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter Two: Nudity/Chichue Issues

Half an hour later Rin had finally calmed down. It had taken two cups of coffee, loaded with milk and sugar, to stun her mind past the shock. Sesshomaru had taken three, all black, no sugar.

"Okay, so what do we do?" Rin asked.

"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru retaliated.

"Well, although I am sure that a lot of onna would love to see you in nothing but a towel, you'd probably get a detention, and your fanclub would mob you, and perhaps you'd even lose the towel," she pointed out calmly.

Sesshomaru contemplated the horrors of that scenario. She was right; there was no way in hell he was going to go to school in a towel. He was glad she hadn't been serious about kicking him out with just a towel.

Or perhaps it was the fact that he'd been an adorable puppy the night before had changed her mind.

He pondered the situation. He didn't have clothes or any way to purchase any. The only thing he could really do was get in contact with his family.

"Do you have a phone I can use to call my chichue?" he asked the baka onna. He paused; perhaps he should ask her for her name. It wasn't exactly polite to keep thinking of her as 'the baka onna' and she had been nicer to him than anyone else had ever been, outside of his family and some of the servants.

"Oh and what's your name?" he added without too much thought.

"My name?" Rin hadn't thought he would know her name. He was popular and she was not. It still kind of hurt that he didn't know who she was though, they were in the same class; they had been for three years.

Sesshomaru gave her a look, oh right, he wanted an answer, but why? He'd probably just forget it the second that this strange day ended and they were both back where they belonged.

Still, there was no harm in answering him, "I'm in your class," she pointed out. She was kind of irritated by his ignorance of her presence, even though logically she'd accepted that he wouldn't know her.

Sesshomaru thought that one over. She was in his class, when had that happened? Oh well, he was half asleep at school most days anyway.

She looked over at him with a strangely sad smile, "Yamamoto Rin," she whispered.

Rin, her name was Rin. He'd remember that. It might be short, but it was sweet, just like her, she only just reached his shoulder. But still, he remembered his 'wake up call'; she could pack a hefty punch. It made him smile, his Rin… no, Rin was short and sweet, but very sassy.

Rin had thought Sesshomaru handsome beyond belief when he was expressionless. She had no words to describe how he looked with a faint smile. He really was the most beautiful man she'd ever seen, and she'd probably never see his match anywhere else. She felt her sadness at his lack of recognition melt away in her awe of his utter gorgeousness.

The smile quickly disappeared, "So Yamamoto-san, may I please use your phone," he was very polite. Rin was slightly disappointed by his formality, but she couldn't have said why. She shouldn't expect any more from him. It's not like he wanted to be here, it was just the way things had turned out. He was probably embarrassed and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Of course Sato-san," if he was going to be formal she'd copy his example, "it's on the kitchen bench," she'd kill him if she got a large phone bill because of this though, no matter how beautiful he was.

Sesshomaru calmly walked over to the kitchen bench, dialed the number and waited for it to connect.

Rin stared at him. He was the most interesting thing to look at, so why not? At least some things about Fluffy now made sense. No wonder he'd looked so disgusted at her choice of name for him. She wondered if the word would ever get out at school that she had called the 'kouri no ouji', 'Fluffy', it made her laugh.

Sesshomaru looked over at the bak- Rin, she was laughing quietly in the chair, holding her stomach with the intensity of the motion. He wondered what could possibly be so funny. Actually he suddenly realized with surprise, that he did remember seeing her in his class. He'd walked past her hundreds of times without noticing her. Well he wouldn't do that again. He couldn't.

The phone was answered by a familiar voice, "Sato residence Myoga speaking, how may I help you,"

"Myoga, this is Sesshomaru. I want to speak to chichue now,"

"Certainly, I shall fetch him right away; he missed you last night,"

Actually come to think of it, why hadn't Inutaisho begun looking for his eldest son? Sesshomaru pondered the question.

Then his chichue's voice came on the line, ending all speculation, "Sesshomaru, so how was last night?"

Sesshomaru blinked, "you mean you knew?" he couldn't help but feel betrayed.

"Of course I knew, I wondered where you were, but once Inuyasha told me, everything was fine,"

"You didn't care to ask me?" Sesshomaru felt like he'd been physically hit. The shock actually hurt.

"But I did, I talked to you last night, and to Kouga. It sounded like you boys were having a good time. What could have changed since then?"

Last night?... Kouga?... KOUGA! That backstabbing bastard was going to pay. After all the years the two youkai had plotted against Inuyasha, Kouga helped Inuyasha plot against Sesshomaru. Inuyasha wasn't going to be the only one to feel Sesshomaru's wrath.

Everyone was going to Pay!!!- Except Rin, and possibly his chichue…

"Actually Chichue, I wasn't with Kouga last night and I never talked to you,"

"What? But…" Inutaisho wasn't slow, "what happened?"

"Kagome turned me into a inu- well a puppy for interrupting her and Inuyasha's…" he glanced at Rin and decided to be diplomatic "time together,"

"WHAT?"

"Anyway, then I escaped from Inuyasha and a onna took me home with her. I spent the night at her house and I have only just turned back into my normal form,"

"How do you want him punished?"

"No Ramen for six months,"

There was a stunned silence, "well, I suppose that's fair," Inutaisho conceeded.

"And Kagome is not allowed in his room for two months,"

"I think I can get Izayoi to agree to this," all three inu-males had agreed that Izayoi was the scariest person in the house when she was pissed off. Thus Inutaisho always trod carefully where Inuyasha's punishments were concerned.

But Sesshomaru couldn't care less about the state of his chichue's marriage, "otherwise I'll use Toukijin and Tenseiga repeatedly on him until I've killed him 1001 times and revived him only 1000 times,"

Sesshomaru could almost hear his chichue's wince, "yes, I think the first alternative is the better choice,"

"Also, I get to tell him, so wait until I'm home before you even let him I've called and that you know. The other problem is I need clothes for school and all my books,"

"I am all booked up for meetings this morning, or I'd come myself," Sesshomaru pushed back his disappointment, "I'll send Tottosai over to pick you up, but since he is driving Izayoi to her morning appointments it will probably be after ten,"

"After ten! But I'll be late for school,"

"I think you're entitled to be late… actually considering what has happened, I think you can have a day off. I'll try and get off work early so I can have some time with you this afternoon," Inutaisho often felt guilty about how rough his second marriage had been on Sesshomaru. This was yet another attempt to appease his guilt and try to make his son happy. It was rare for Sesshomaru to look content, let alone smile.

"Thank you chichue," Sesshomaru looked over at the onna, "actually, when you call the school, can you tell them that Yamamoto Rin who is also in my class won't be coming in today either?" Sesshomaru added.

Rin gave him a questioning look. Why would he concern himself with her, or do her any favors? It wasn't like they were friends or anything. He'd only just learned her name for Kami's sake.

"Yamamoto Rin? Who's that?" Inutaisho was intrigued. Sesshomaru actually being concerned about another being, and a onna at that…

"The onna I spent the night with," Sesshomaru paused, Rin had given him quite a dirty look- that last comment had sounded a little off.

"I see," his chichue's tone was speculative. Perhaps it had sounded suggestive.

"It just seems like she had rather a traumatic experience with inu's turning into classmates on her," Sesshomaru added defensively. Trying to subtly point out that no, of course he had not had sex with her. He'd been a dog all of last night!

Inutaisho murmured in reply "Of course," and Sesshomaru could tell that his tone had been much too defensive, "and you care about her because?" trust Inutaisho to ask the one question Sesshomaru couldn't answer.

"Look, this call is taking too long, we'll talk tonight," he changed the subject abruptly and motioned over to Rin, "Rin, what's the address to this place?" he asked her directly.

"17 Sakura Lane, of the Nejouri district," she answered giving him another strange look.

"The address here is 17 Sakura Lane, it's in the Nejouri district, and I'll expect Tottosai after 10," Sesshomaru really wanted this conversation to end.

"Aren't you being awfully familiar with the onna?" Rin apparently had believed that too, which explained why she had given him the weird look, Inutaisho continued "well anyway, from now until ten should give you plenty of time to-"

"Good bye Chichiue," Sesshomaru cut his chichue off and hung up the phone disgusted with the old man. Sometimes he was worse than Miroku!

Rin was musing on Sesshomaru. He was concerned about her, but why? There wasn't a very strong bond between them despite this awful experience.

It didn't even really matter that she had seen him naked. After all it wasn't like he had seen her naked. That would have been worse. She'd never be able to meet his gaze again.

Wait- the shower. That meant that he…

he…

he had…

he'd…

he'd seen her naked.

He'd seen her naked…

HE'D SEEN HER NAKED!

"HENTAI!" Rin shrieked suddenly outraged, before giving him her best right hook.

Sesshomaru was surprised by the sudden outburst from the quiet onna; the right hook caught him off guard. He crashed into the floor and was frozen for several seconds before he could move again.

Rin took advantage of him at that point, kicking him in the stomach. It was too awkward to kick him in-between the legs (he might lose the towel or something) so no matter how much she wanted to, she stuck with other targets.

Sesshomaru came to his senses after the third kick, grabbing her leg and tripping her onto the floor. He then threw himself on top, wrestling with her. Now she was now trying to strangle him. Onna were such odd creatures, what in kami's name was she trying to do?

He finally won the small wrestling bout. He was a youkai and male, it was an obvious outcome. Still her strength, especially when she was pissed, was nothing to be ignored. She could beat Inuyasha any day.

"Damn it onna, what is wrong with you?" Sesshomaru snapped. She was still struggling against him, and it was infuriatingly arousing. Of course he knew it was all because of hormones, but still, she had a very nice body, and he appreciated that. If she realised how much, she'd probably succeed in her attempts to kill him.

"You saw me naked, you hentai!" Rin shrieked trying to throw him off.

Seen her naked? When?...

Oh right the shower thing…

But why was she so pissed now?

"Two points. One; you were the one who stripped in front of me. Two; you saw me naked as well," Sesshomaru lectured.

"That's not the point," Rin didn't care if it didn't make sense, "you saw me naked, and now your going to pay for it!" she managed to throw him off her, and pounded her fists on his chest.

Sesshomaru didn't like her being on top; he wanted to be on top. He threw her off and jumped on top of the winded onna. She panted looking up at him, while he pinned her arms and legs beneath him, she would not push him off again.

Their breathing slowed, but Rin could feel her heart beating faster. He was warm and firmly muscled against her body, and it felt very good. Too good, and he was much too close. His face drew closer; his normally cold eyes were warm, like liquid gold, with darker flecks of amber. She could feel his warm breath on her face, she swallowed.

'kirei…'

"If I promise not to hit you, will you let me up?" Rin asked. Her mind was screaming at her to get out of this situation fast. She was drowning under the sensual warmth of his gaze.

Sesshomaru knew in a rational part of his brain that she was right. He should let go, but his rational self was not in control. He slowly leaned down and pressed his lips against hers softly, closing his eyes, enjoying the sensation.

Rin gasped against his mouth, frozen by surprise. Her eyes slowly fluttered closed, and she relaxed against him. His hold on her relaxed slightly, she eased one arm out from under him.

Sesshomaru was surprised by the feel of her hand on his face, she ran her fingers lightly over his cheek, down his jaw and onto his neck and then around to the back of his neck. He found her strength astonishing as she pulled him deeper into the kiss. Her hand dug into his neck, tangling with his hair. They briefly parted for air, before returning to each other hurriedly.

Sesshomaru shifted his weight, leaving them both free to do what they wished. One of his hands rubbed her shoulder, gently massaging the joint, she moaned into his mouth. His tongue gently stroked between her parted lips, encouraging her to fully open up to him. She shifted under him, the hand on her shoulder, ran up her neck, she tentatively opened her mouth.

He ran his tongue past her lips, along the roof of her mouth before touching her tongue lightly. Her response was immediate; both of her hands were pulling the back of his head down, while her tongue drew his tongue deep into her mouth. It was wonderfully suffocating to be so close to her, entwined with her, in her.

Kami, how could feelings like this exist? And how could it be that he had been blind to the existence of them before?

Blind to her existence before.

They parted again, breathing hard; he leaned in close, not wanting to be parted, wanting to breathe in her scent, to hear her heartbeat. Rin's arms slid down from his neck, loosely holding his shoulders, pulling him close to her. His head moved sideways past her cheek onto her neck. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her throat, his tongue as he licked her and then his lips as he kissed her. He worked his way down her neck, her hands dug into his shoulders, as in his excitement he nipped her skin lightly.

Sesshomaru was surprised when he felt her legs shift out from under his body, and move to wrap themselves around his waist, tightly, bringing their bodies into hard contact. He bit her harder than he meant to, her low cry was evidence of that, and he tenderly licked the red mark on her neck.

Rin's arms moved further down his back, rubbing light circles in his back. One of his hands ran very slowly down her body, touching her breasts and her stomach, causing her back to arch slightly in response, finally he reached the bottom of her pajama top. His slid his hand under it, caressing the bare skin briefly before ripping the clothing off her.

She gasped in surprise at the sudden bold move, freezing, and he took open advantage of that. He shifted off her, leaning back, and looked her over slowly. She coloured under his intense gaze, her hands shifting from his body to cover herself.

He gave a faint smile, his eyes meeting hers, "kirei," he whispered, leaning back down to her.

Rin's blush went even deeper, she avoided his eyes, still covering herself, "arigato Sato-kun," she knew he wasn't telling the truth. She wasn't pretty, not like the other onnas in his fan club, but it was nice to be complimented.

One of his hands ran over her own, and squeezed it. He rolled onto the side, she hadn't complained about his weight, but he didn't want to hurt her in any way.

Rin had never felt like this before, her heart was beating so fast she thought it would jump out of her chest. She couldn't have torn her gaze away from him if her life depended on it. He was so beautiful, so gentle, and so wonderful. It was amazing that he was the same person she had called a 'baka' and a 'hentai' less than ten minutes ago. The feel of his body against hers sent tingles all through her body.

"I wasn't lying you know," he said. Rin met his gaze, and blinked confused, he gave her that faint smile again, "you are very beautiful," he whispered.

Rin gave him a shy smile and shifted her hand around to clasp his hand, winding her fingers through his, pressing the back of his hand to her chest. Now he really did look beautiful in the morning light through the curtains, his silvery hair shone in a disheveled mass over his shoulder and bare chest. Some strands fell over his face, while his eyes were the colour of golden honey in the soft light, and his pale skin seemed to glow.

She moved her hand, away from her body, slowly stretching across the minute distance between them. He mirrored her motion, his hand touching hers tentatively, fingers entwining. They stayed like that for a moment, hands entwined; their bodies almost close enough to touch, eyes staring deeply into the others.

Sesshomaru couldn't tear his eyes away from her own. They shone with life, and for once in his life he understood how eyes could be seen as a window into a person's soul. They stayed together; hands entwined, bodies almost touching for what felt like hours, but could have been seconds.

Rin sat up slowly, pulling her hand away from his, letting her hair and hands cover her as she sat up. Her knees came up, in front of her chest, "I'm sorry," she whispered, "but I'm not like this, I'm not this," she looked at him blushing "casual," she said "I've never-" she cut herself off, looking away.

He helped himself up, noticing that the towel was rather loose, apparently their 'actions' had almost helped him lose it. He wouldn't deny that he would have been quite happy about that, and even happier if she'd lost her pajama bottoms. But, he would have only been happy if she was happy about it.

Her smile; her emotions; her happiness. That meant a lot to him, too much, considering he barely knew her.

He wrapped his arms loosely around her stomach, pulling her into his lap, with her back against his chest, craning his neck over her shoulder to press his cheek against hers. She sighed, relaxing against him.

"You know, I've never been so intimate with someone I only just met," he whispered.

"I've never been so intimate with anyone," she whispered liking the silky feel of her hair against her skin.

"I'm glad," Sesshomaru was surprised he'd said that out loud, but he covered it by adding, "inu youkai are very possessive. I won't allow any other man to touch you,"

"So does this mean you think I belong to you?" asked Rin archly, leaning away from him, to see his face.

"No." he turned his head to meet her gaze, "it means that I know you belong to me," he said, kissing her passionately.

It was an awkward angle and the kiss was rather short, but neither seemed to mind. She rested back against him again; his hands moved slowly across her body, he seemed content just to touch her.

Rin sat in silence with him for a few minutes before asking the question she was dying to, "Sesshomaru does this mean that we are actually together? Do you want a relationship with me?" she asked him curiously.

Sesshomaru paused before giving an answer, "I…" she'd never seen Sesshomaru struggle to answer anything "I'm not sure if I can answer your questions, but I will tell you this. I am very attracted to you, your very pretty- despite what you think, and I like you very much as a person, you're sweet, but sassy too," he said, and noticed the faint blush on her cheeks, "I want to try to have a relationship with you," he said.

"So, Sess," she began, but paused. She could interpret the change in his silence as disapproval, "I'm not going to stumble over Sesshomaru the whole time," she said firmly to him, "Besides koibito give each other pet names, so unless you'd prefer ouji no kouri or Fluffy," she said teasingly, "Sess it is,"

Sesshomaru mused over his options, of course she was right, "very well, you and only you may call me Sess," he said. He'd do anything for this onna who called him her koibito when she barely knew him.

"Thank you for the permission," Rin said teasingly.

"You're welcome,"

Rin turned around in his lap surprising him, "you really are someone wonderful," she whispered before kissing him deeply. He was surprised by how experienced she seemed, especially considering she'd never done this before. It seemed that he was a very good teacher he mused kissing her back.

This is the end of chapter two. I hope you liked this one too.

Oh and big thanks to YamiNoKiba -I was rushing and I wrote 'Kouri no Ouji' as 'Ouji no Kouri' under Japanese translations, I've corrected that. I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't pay much attention to the translated section. Sorry for any confusion!

Please R & R, otherwise I won't know if there's a point to putting up the next chapter.
