Christmas Eve

"Class as we know through out the few weeks Sesshoumaru and Rin have been working together on a project to compete against the other schools. Their project was entered this last weekend at the national school convention and took 1st place." He said while clapping his hands causing other students to stand up and start cheering for Rin, but none for Sesshoumaru.

"Good job Sesshoumaru we couldn't of done this together without your artistic skills." She said while smiling.

Balancing on her tiptoes she gave him a kiss on the lips causing the class to gasp with horror as he kissed her back making the kiss whole.

'….'

Rin sat up straight in bed looking around; sweat was running down her face. Shaking her head she tried to piece together the dream she had just had. Looking at the alarm clock she notice it was only 2:00am in the morning.

Sighing she jumped out of bed and made her way down the stairs towards the kitchen. Once arriving to the kitchen she headed to the fridge to grab the carton of juice and finish it off.

While drinking the juice she began to rub her belly, then placing her self in a chair with her legs propped up on the table. "What was that dream about…" Rin said to her self as she stared at the label on the orange juice carton. "It can't be true come on… the projects not due till…Christmas which is in two days and that's not a school day…" She said calmly "2 DAYS!!! Crap!!" Rin said while looking at the calendar over on the fridge. "I need to go shopping!!!"

Rin jumped up heading to her room. Pulling on some clothing she only than realized it was 2:24am in the morning. "I'll go tomorrow after school. I should see if Sesshoumaru would like to go with me?" Rin said as she went back to bed.

I---------------------------------I

"Class please read pages 240-256 and answer all 17 problems on the worksheet I just handed out. I know this seems like 9th grade work but believe me those questions are hard. You will be quizzed on these words on Friday so you best learn the answers rather than copying from someone else." He said while smiling and beginning to write down the assignment on the dry-erase board.

"Are you sure there are 17 questions it looks like 15 to me?" Rin said while holding out her paper that was half way done.

"You must have gotten last years version. Sorry but here's the one with the other two." He said while placing the paper down in front of her. "The bells about to ring in a few minutes you may all get ready to leave.

Rin gathered her stuff together quickly so she would be able to speak to Sesshoumaru about going shopping with her after school. Running up to Sesshoumaru she paused slightly remembering the dream. Beginning to walk slowly up to him she tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to turn around slowly.

"Yes…" He said while looking at her.

"Will you go to the mall with me after school to go shopping?" She said while smiling at him causing a slight smile to form on him face.

"Why?" He replied

"Well it's last second for got about Christmas… hehehe" She said while scratching the back of her head, her other hand holding book to her belly. "Plus if were going to be friends we need to do more things together." She said while letting a big grin overcome her face.

"Sure whatever." Sesshoumaru said while walking out to lunch as the bell rung only to be followed by Rin.

"Can I sit with you at lunch or will you be annoyed?" She asked causing him to stop, his back to her.

"I don't care." He continued walking

"Well your parents are really nice… for the last week that I've been coming over they've done nothing but spoil me… which isn't bad but it feels kind of strange." She said while sitting down on the ground next to him.

"Don't mind them their like that…" He replied while biting into his sandwich.

"Oh yeah!! I made this I wanted you to try it and tell me what you thought. It's my own recipe I always invent stuff a lot of people usually like it but I can never tell if some things good or not since I practically like anything that's edible." She said while laughing.

"I won't die will I?" He said in a teasing way.

"No!!!" You should be fine… I was." She said unsure of how he would react after he tasted her treat.

"Ok here goes…" He said while taking a bite only to see his face distorted.

"Is it really that bad… I thought it was good for sure…" She said while watching him pop the rest into his mouth and grab another. "Hey!!! You tricked me." She said while smacking his arm in a friends like way.

"I'm sorry…" He said, his voice in a calm type of chuckle, which was lowered.

Pausing Rin stared at him a smile forming on her lips but a weird feeling bubbling in her stomach. "It's ok at least you like my new treat." She said while tilting her head to her side and placing her hands in her lap with a smile.

I-----------------------I

"Look at Rin… she's becoming a total geek with Sesshoumaru…" Tracy said while turning back to the horrific scene of her giggles and laughter with Sesshoumaru. "How could she do this to us…I mean we warped her and made her who she is… and now she betrays us for the geek of geeks!!" Tracy stopped her foot on the ground only to be comforted but one of her other friends. "This is just a phase she'll get over it… I know. If I wasn't her best friend I wouldn't be able to forgive her so easily." She said while walking away.

I---------------------------I

"So today after school we go to the mall?" She said while getting up. "Oh yeah do you mind walking? The weather is pretty nice for winter." She said

"How bout we take my car at home?" He said also getting up.

"Ok." Rin said looking at him" Let's go to class and I'll meet you after school, over here ok?" She said while walking away slowly.

I------------------------------I

What's wrong with the clock it's not even moving!!" Rin whined mentally as she stared at the clock waiting for the bell.

Ring

Freedom!!! She got and began running to her lunch spot. Stopping in front of the tree she took big breaths as she stood waiting for Sesshoumaru. Watching him run towards her she smiled as he arrived.

"Shall we go?" He said while walking towards the direction of his house.

"Sure!!" Gasp…

"You running a little fast?" He said not even noticing he was using his usual home voice.

"Yeah…" Gasp…pant.

I--------------------------------I

"Dad…Izayoi I'm home Sesshoumaru said while walking to his room allowing Rin to follow.

Throwing down his bag and taking of his coat, Rin's eyes traveled throughout his room noticing how clean and nice it smelled. Looking towards his closet she notice a board in-between two different kinds of close.

Walking over she notice one side said school close, which all looked very geeky and the other said home clothes, which looked very nice and comfortable. As she began to look further she notice the closet door began to close. "Sorry…" She said while walking over towards the door.

"If you want to can sit on my bed… I'm just going to shower and change." He said while pulling his shirt off and walking towards the bathroom.

Rin stared at his lower back before he walked into the bathroom. Walking over to his bed she sat down. Finding it comfy she gently laid back and stared at his ceiling noticing how good his room smelt and even his bed.

Running her hand along the bed she notice the soft silky texture of it. Crossing her legs she began to shake one of them in boredom. Continuing to look at the ceiling she didn't realized the sound of the opening bathroom.

Closing her eyes and beginning to hum, she only opened her eyes when she felt the sides of the bed indent in. Holding her breath she saw Sesshoumaru hovering over her, water from his partial wet bangs falling on her cheeks.

She watched as a handsome smile crept from his face. Rin couldn't help but feel her heart flutter. Taking a breath she notice him stand up his back towards her with no shirt. Her heart still fluttering she turned her face away and began to breathe quietly.

Pulling on a shirt Sesshoumaru slightly smiled looking at the face paint he had left on the bed, which was now in his hands. Walking to the bathroom he set the face paint in the room and put on the rest of his geeky clothing.

"So you ready to go?" He said while looking at Rin.

"Sure." She said while getting up.

I----------------------------------------------I

"What do you think would look better on my friend Tracy?" Rin said while placing the cloths against herself and posing for Sesshoumaru. "These ones? Or…these ones?" She said.

"I don't know the first?"

"Ok!!" Rin said while walking to the store cashier.

Buying the stuff she quickly grabbed Sesshoumaru and ran to another store.

"Hey I'll be right back I need to go get something for Izayoi for Christmas." Sesshoumaru said while smiling at her. "Meet me by the food court in 30 minutes."

"Ok…" Rin smiled, once he left she quickly ran to another store. "What would he like?" Walking over to a worker she kindly asked, "What would man around 18-19 like?"

"Depends on his style or his attitude."

"Well he's real mellow and nice, kind of stand offish but not type of attitude… it's hard to explain we've been friends for like 2-3weeks."

"I know what you need for him…" The worker said while walking down the store to a certain aisle.

"Thank you so much."

"No problem, I hope he likes that friendship necklace. You want it engraved? I can engrave both of them?"

"Sure how long does it take?" Rin asked

"About 10 minutes could be the quickest but it's a little spendy."

"How much will it all be together?"

"$123.99"

"Ok go ahead. Put Sesshoumaru and underneath put Friends and on the other put Rin and Forever underneath."

"Alright I'll be right back in about 20 minutes"

The lady soon arrived back setting the engraved necklaces down.

"Ok… good thing his present was the last and I still have lots of money…" She said while laughing slightly. Oh my god look at the time I'm five minutes late!!" Rin said while laying down the money and running out the store with the necklaces in hand

"Have a nice day!!" The worker said while smiling

I----------------------I

30 minutes earlier

Sesshoumaru walked around looking at the jewelry. His eyes wandered from left to right at the items that were lying there waiting to be bought to wear. He ran his fingers over a few gold necklaces but his eye caught on a diamond-roped necklace with a ruby heart surrounded by green that seemed like leaves.

Bending down he took a closer look at the necklace to find a gold plate on the backside of the heart shape part for words that could be in scripted onto it.

"Can I help you?" A woman walked out her hands clasped together, her walk very elegant.

"Yeah… can I get that necklace with the words

To my kind hearted friend Rin Souhiro

Merry Christmas

Sesshoumaru Takeshiro

2004

engraved on it and please get it right."

"Yes Mr. Takeshiro, it isn't often I see you in here."

"There's really no reason for me to come here unless it is my step mothers birthday or something of the sort."

"Yes very well I will attend to the necklace. Can you pick it up in a day or so?" She said while taking the credit card he was holding out.

"Yeah."

"Well thank you for purchasing one of these fine jewelry. It was really spendy but I guess your family has no problem with money."

"Yeah…that's what happens when both your parents own big companies and you get a share of them."

"Have a good day, remember come back tomorrow they will be done."

I------------------------I

"A little late?" He said while looking at his watch.

"Sorry I had to get something done." Rin said while walking the rest of the way towards him. "I got all my shopping done."

"Well than lets go." He said while walking next to her towards the exit.

I---------------------------I

"Thank you Rin I love it, who knew clothing like this would look so good on me!!!" Tracy said while giving Rin a hug.

"Yeah I forgot today we had no school so I walked all the way over here to give you this. I still have to deliver a few more presents." She said lifting up the bag that looked like it weighed a ton. "You know me and shelters, I just can't help, helping the poor." Rin said while walking to Tracy's front door.

"Well you go deliver your presents and I'll be over later tonight to give it to you… I kind of left it in my mother's car and she's at work..

"It's ok…. later!!" Rin said while running out the door down the steps.

Zipping her coat up as she felt the weather change drastically she began to walk towards the shelter. Once delivering the present to the shelter and receiving many hugs and kisses she headed over to a certain someone's house.

Knocking on the large mansion door she also grabbed the last present in her bag. Smiling as the door opened she notice Sesshoumaru's father standing there with tons of presents in a bag next to him.

"Clothing and other things for the shelter." He said while letting her in. "I do this every year. I'm no hum bug." He said while chuckling and leading the way to the living room where a giant Christmas tree was placed and family was gathered in the room smiles and laughter on their faces.

"Hello everyone" Rin's voice spoke up causing heads to turn towards her.

"Hey what's up!!" A long silver haired boy said, who happened not to be Sesshoumaru. "I'm Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru's brother." He said while taking a big drink of his soda. "Come sit down and enjoy the evening with us!!

Rin did as told and enjoyed the evening, laughter erupting here and there. Loads of fun and games came into action as the night went on. It was soon arriving 10 o'clock and Rin had to leave.

Getting up she quickly grabbed the present from her pocket and walked over to Sesshoumaru who smiled and pulled her away from the rest of the family outside into the garden. Something in his hand for her also.

"This is for you…" Rin said while handing him her gift. "I know it's not as expensive as your other gifts but I thought I should get this." She said watching him open it.

"Thanks…" He said while looking at the words Sesshoumaru Friends.

"I have the other piece of the necklace. It's a friends necklace. See mine says Rin Forever. When you put them together they say Sesshoumaru Rin Friends forever." She said while smiling. "I hope you like it!"

"It's great!" He said while giving her hug causing her to blush. "This is for you. He said while handing her the gift.

Rin gently opened it, only to discover a jewelry box from the most expensive jewelry store in the town. Opening the lid she gasped as she saw the necklace.

"I can't have this…" Rin said closing it and handing it back to him.

"You can… because it a gift from me to you. It's your Christmas present."

"I can't this must of cost you…so much."

"It did but I don't mind, you're my first true friend." He said while touching her face. "Keep it, it's for you and only you. Your name is on the back." He said while tilting her chin up causing her eyelids to flutter as his face came close to hers and their lips met.

Rin didn't know what happened but all she could remember before she pushed herself away was gripping his back and feeling a tense muscular body.

"No…" Rin said quietly "We are friends nothing more…" She said while smiling and setting the gift on a bench near him as she walked back into the house only to leave.
