Chapter 11: Little Liar

Her breath hitched in her throat. Eyes widening, she stared incredulously at the demon that approached her.

It has been weeks since they had last spoken and when Kagura had opened her door, coming face to face with Sesshomaru, she was dumbstruck.

"S-Sesshomaru wh-wha-?" That was all she could mutter before he corned her against a wall, resting his hands on either side of her head. He sighed, speaking for the first time since entering her house. "Kagura..."

"Sesshomaru…"

"I just… needed to see you."

Kagura pressed her hand against the wall behind her, struggling to keep herself from falling to the ground. "Se-Sesshomaru I-I-" But Sesshomaru cut her off by raising his hand and lightly brushing his knuckles along her cheek before leaning forward and pressing his nose to the juncture where her neck met her shoulder; inhaling her familiar scent.

Hoping to urge him on, Kagura arched against him, eyes fluttering close as she exhaled a sigh, her hands working through his hair. "But…Rin.." It was more a question then a statement and Sesshomaru had to hide his smile.

"Rin Who?"

"But I-I t-thought..." Kagura sighed once more leaning into Sesshomaru's embrace. He shook his head, wrapping his arms around her.

"Wrong."

"S-Sesshoma-maru?"

They both froze, hearts plummeting to their toes.

Kagura was the first to react. She pushed Sesshomaru away, all color draining from her face as she focused her gaze on the petite female at her front door. "Rin-"

"Sesshomaru… what's..."

"Rin, please, let me explain." Kagura said with great difficulty while she pushed away from the wall, making her way towards Rin who in turn took a tentative step back, causing Kagura to halt and stare wide-eyed at the young woman.

"Rin…"

Brown eyes clouding over with tears, Rin focused her attention on Sesshomaru who had said her name; her hand moving to cover her quierving lips. "Sesshomaru.. I thought..."

"Rin… It's not-" Sesshomaru tried, reaching a hand out as he took a step but Rin cut him off.

"Yes it is!" She screeched, her hands now at her sides were tight fists.

Kagura jumped at the sudden venom dripping from sweet Rin's mouth. "Rin.."

"It is! And I knew it. I knew something was still going on. When you ran to her at the carnival two weeks ago. I knew it."

Sesshomaru tried again, stopping beside Kagura before speaking "Rin, no it's not-"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!! Just. Shut. Up." Kagura jerked, looking up hopelessly at Sesshomaru. Rin only continued, tears flowing. "God, I was so stupid. I kept telling myself, 'He is interested in you now, Rin, and he cares for you.' What a fucking joke. Load of bullshit, that's what it was. I'm such an idiot."

"It's not Rin!" Sesshomaru pushed past Kagura, taking Rin's hand.

"Fuck you Sesshomaru." She tugged her hand away. "Don't lie to me." Rin choked on a sob as she pressed her palms together, tipping her head down, and raising her hands up in prayer to Sesshomaru. "Please, don't lie. I heard what you said. You said you love her, Sesshomaru..."

Sesshomaru could only open and close his mouth, his heart pounding. "Rin..."

Dropping her hands, Rin focused narrowed eyes on Kagura who visibly flinched. "Close you fucking front door next time." And with that said, Rin turned on her heels and ran out, sprinting down the street.

"Rin, wait, please!" Without a second thought, Sesshomaru hurried after Rin, calling her name.

"Sesshomaru..." Kagura muttered, watching him run.

When she was a good distance away from Kagura's house, Rin stopped running, wiping the tears from her face. Turning, she watched Sesshomaru a moment before he stopped fully in front of her, frowning.

"Do not scare me like that." He simply stated, his frown seeming permanent. "But other then that... very nice.

"Thank you my kind sir." Rin giggled, pulling her hair into a high bun.

"You are quite the liar." Sesshomaru stated, tucking his hands in his pants pocket.

Rin flinched at the name, but merely cleared her throat. "Sesshomaru, you need to know when to reel her in. If you want your girl- this is how it has to be."

"Right, right." He only nodded, watching her curiously.

"Come, buy me ice-cream."

"And why should I do that?"

"Because ice-cream is delicious?" Hooking her arm around his, smiling, she tugged him down the busy street and into a small ice-cream shop; moving to the counter where a teenage boy stood. "Hi! Two mint-chocolate cones please." When given her choices, she turned to Sesshomaru, tipping her head towards the cashier.

Sesshomaru sighed, paying the boy."Thank you, sir." the boy said. Sesshomaru nodded before quietly following Rin outside.

She handed his ice-cream cone, licking happily at hers.

"Come on then, we're going home." Sesshomaru moved forward, one hanc tucked in his pocket while the other held his cone which he licked every now and then, knowing she would follow.

"Party pooper." She murmured, walking after him.

"Little liar."
