Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
They're lost in each other's eyes as their faces lean closer and closer until their lips met in a sensual kiss. Both were subconsciously unaware what occurred between them. All they know is a bliss they feel from the moment their lips touch.
Unconsciously Sesshoumaru encircled his arm around Rin's waist while Rin put her hands on his shoulder as they continue their intimate moment that they are completely incognizant that someone is watching them in front row. Standing a few feet away from them is a wide eyed agape Yuma.
Right after she finished cleaning the kitchen she hurriedly went in the spring s she can join Rin in bath. She didn't know Sesshoumaru was there because of mist of steam coming from the hot spring that surrounded the area that makes her unable to see who is in the spring. When she got the clear view of the spring she was dead in her tracks as she sees her friend lip lock with a gorgeous man she ever seen.
Yuma shake her head to stir her from her agape mood. She hates to ruin their moment but she had to break them apart before their kisses become heated. She took a big breath to calm herself before clearing her throat loud enough for them to hear her.
Rin and Sesshoumaru snap their eyes open and was shock as they noticed that their lips were lock at each other. They quickly pulled their lips away form each other. Their eyes are wide and their mouth hangs open. The only one thing in their mind is what just happened?
Yuma switch her eyes in both of them. First she was confused why they react that way, and then it hit her that they are completely unaware what just transpired between them just by the looks of their puzzled faces. If they were just her close friend, for sure she will be laughing right now. But unfortunately only Rin is her friend and she don't want to embarrass her friend in front of the guy she recently shared a kiss with.
'May be later.' she thought can't wait to interrogate her.
Rin look at Yuma's direction and blush knowing that she was caught kissing with Sesshoumaru. She switches her gaze to the man across from her and blushes more. She was still stupefied from what happened.
"I'm sorry." Rin quickly said getting out from the spring not wanting to embarrass her self more in front of him.
She grabs her things and tug Yuma along with her walking back to the house.
Sesshoumaru sigh when Rin left the spring. He really didn't expect that to happen.
Heck he don't even have a single idea how it happens. All he remembers is staring at her brown eyes, and then something happened. All his senses were replaced by a sensation that he never feel before. All his attention is focus on that feeling and the next this he know he was kissing her until Yuma interrupted them.
He sigh again and plop down his body into the water when he noticed that he still have soap suds in his back. After washing his back, he decided to finish his bath. He gets off from the water grabbing his towel and dries himself. After drying himself he pick up the lamp in his feet and start his way back to the house with uncertain emotion.
XXXX
"So what is that all about?" Yuma asked Rin as she dresses for bed.
"I don't know, I have no idea what is that all about." she replied facing her smirking friend.
"I thought so. By the look on your face earlier, you look like you have kissed the ugliest man alive." she said chuckling.
Rin frowned at her friend. "Stop laughing at me ok? I don't know who initiated the kiss. All I remember is looking at his eyes then…" she stop. "All my senses shut down and I don't even aware that we kiss until you showed up." she said blushing in embarrassment knowing that Yuma saw the whole thing.
"You mean you both caught up in the moment." she said amuse how Rin react about the whole thing.
"Now he will think I planned to seduced him." she said remembering their conversation.
Yuma was puzzled about what she said and can't help but asked. "What do you mean by seducing him?"
Rin sigh and told her about their conversation before the whole kissing thing happened.
"He is a sophisticated man I see." Yuma said.
"Yes he is." Rin agreed.
"What are you going to do now? I mean are you gonna avoid him?"
"Of course not, I'm not in in high school anymore for god sake. I'm not going to hide like a teenager.
"Well, by how you react at the spring you act like a teenager." Yuma chuckle when she saw Rin blush.
"Ok, I'll admit that I act like one earlier." Rin admitted. "It's just that I never been too closed to a guy like that before."
Yuma look at her skeptically. "You never been kissed before?"
"Of course I kissed a guy before but not in passionate kind of way. It more like a kiss's kiss." she said timidly.
"How is that?" Yuma asked curiously.
"Let just say that all my ex boyfriend haven't been too closed to kiss me like that."
"Care to tell me why?"
"There's only one answer to that; my life is complicated." before Yuma could asked her why she cut her off. "I don't' want to talk about it."
Yuma frowned at her. Every time they will talk about her life they always end their conversation like that.
"Don't worry I'll tell you soon." Rin said at her frowning friend.
Yuma's face light up. "Promise"
"Promised…" Rin chuckled.
"Ok, change the subject. How are you gonna fix the problem in hand?"
"I guess I have to talk to him." Rin sigh. "What else can I do? I can't avoid him every time I see him; we live in the same house after all."
"Yeah I think you are right." Yuma agree with her. "When are you gonna talk to him?"
"May be tomorrow, I think." she said unsure if she can even utter a word in front of him.
Yuma smiled a he uncertain friend. She never knows this side of Rin before.
"Hey don't worry; I know you can clear things up between the both of you. Just like you always do when it comes in that situation." she said confidently cupping Rin's hand with hers.
Rin look at Yuma and smiled at her. "thanks." was all her response still uncertain if she can talk to him.
"I think you have enough for tonight. How about we go to sleep?" Yuma suggested.
"Ok." Rin sigh. 'If I can sleep that is.' she grumbled in her thoughts.
Rin settled herself in the makeshift bed while Yuma turn off the light from the lamp.
Rin closed her eyes trying to sleep to get off her mind from the man whom she shared a passionate kiss with.
Just across the hall Sesshoumaru lay in his room tossing and turning unable to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes the image of their kiss earlier always played on his mind.
"Err…" he growled bolted up from the makeshift bed. "It's just a kiss, it means nothing." trying to convince himself.
'Then why you think about it?' his mind question him.
"I don't know." is all his response.
'May be you are attracted to her.'
"I most certainly not attracted to her. Am I?" he wondered.
"This is ridiculous, I'm talking to myself." he grumbled shaking his head.
"I need some fresh air." with that he stands up and went outside.
Back in Rin's Room
Rin also is tossing and turning in her bed unable to sleep as the scene at the spring replayed in her mind every time she closes her eyes.
Unable to take it anymore she leaves the room and went outside.
Once outside she strolled towards the wooden bench at the front yard deep in her thoughts. When she got near the bench she stop her pace as she notice that a silver haired man already occupy the bench.
Rin stand there for awhile trying to decide if she will talk to him or go back to the house. 'Ok, calm yourself. Go talk to him and clear things up between the two of you. How hard can it be?' She took a big breath composing her. 'It is now or never. Let's get over this with ok?' She took a big breath again before she makes her presence known.
"Can I join you?" Sesshoumaru stiffened after hearing her voice. He never really expected to see her after tonight's event.
Sesshoumaru regain his composure and nodded in confirmation.
Rin sigh and grip herself before sitting next to him.
There was an awkward silent between them. Both Sesshoumaru and Rin are feeling uncomfortable at each other presence since they are sitting too close to each other.
Rin was fumbling her hands in her lap unable to find the guts to talk to him. 'This is not me, I don't act like this.' she thought noticing her behavior.
Meanwhile Sesshoumaru also not himself, though he appear to have a calm expression, but inside he is like a teenager who have a hard talking to his crush.
"Sesshoumaru." with this Sesshoumaru turn his face at Rin's direction whom her head facing her lap.
Rin took a big breath and pulled her face up to look at him. They gaze at each other for a moment before Rin take the courage to speak.
"Sesshoumaru…." she stops and tear her gaze away from him. "About what happened at the spring? I…I just want to say I'm sorry." she finally said recovering her confidence to talk. "I don't know who kiss who. If I'm the one who initiated the kiss then I am sorry, I really didn't meant to kiss you like that." she ended.
"You don't have to apologize you know." Sesshoumaru suddenly speak and Rin look back at him. "What I'm saying is that you don't have to apologize to me since I my self don't know who kiss whom and it's not entirely your fault it also mine as well." he explained.
"So I supposed it's both our fault then." she stated bringing her knees up in her chest.
"You can put it that way." he replied looking up ahead.
"Can we go back on how we used to be before this whole thing happens? Like friends?" she said warily.
"Are we friends?" he asked
"Aren't we?"
"How can we be friends if you don't even know a single thing about me?" Sesshoumaru look at her skeptically.
"Well, I don't know a single thing about you and you don't know a single thing about me, so we are just the same; we both don't know a single thing about each other." Rin elaborate.
"So can we be friends?" offering her hands to him.
Sesshoumaru stared at her for a moment then took her offered hands. "I guess I can make an exception."
Rin raise her eyebrow then smiled at him as their hands connected and their eyes gaze at each other with admiration.
Both blush and look away from each other at the same as they realized their hands still attach. It was exactly how it all started, it was through their captivated gaze that drawn them to lose themselves.
Could it be possible that they are attracted to each other? May be; was their only answer in that question for now.
The night is eventful as two creatures become aware of one another, as a new friendship has been made as a new emotion that yet soon to be discovered.
