--Sesshoumaru

The picnic was finally winding down. The last cackling groups of people were leaving with their families, thanking the Takashi's as they left. Inutaisho smiled with his wife, seeing the employees off. By the parking lot, Inuyasha was leaning against a tree, trying to pick up some dark haired girl.

With his family distracted, Sesshoumaru wandered along the blossom-lined pathway, his mind still occupied. His eyes strayed over to the abandoned building at the back of the park. Without thinking, he moved toward it, following the little blooms at his feet.

But she wasn't there this time. But of course he hasn't expected her to be. She had probably left with her family when the picnic ended. I wonder who it is that works for me, whose family she belongs to... But her dirty clothes still puzzled him. Why had she been wearing such sullied attire? Surely his company paid their employees better then that! And she had not been afraid of him. Most people visibly cowered away in fear of him, especially if they work for him, but she had had the audacity to even tell him what to do! But-

"SESSHOUMARU! WE'RE LEAVING YOU IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE."

Gritting his teeth, Sesshoumaru gave one last quick glance around the serene spot, and then made his way over to the parking lot.

--Rin

How rude! Rin thought after the man had left without a word. He may look like an angel, but he certainly doesn't act like one! Peeking her head around the corner, she saw the man walking down the path, or at least trying to, as he kept getting mobbed by people shaking his hand. He must be really important, to have so many people wanting to meet him…Rin looked down; she suddenly felt unworthy to look at him. Turning back to her secret hideaway, Rin pressed her back against the wall and slide down, sitting in the warm sunlight. Her mind wandering to and from different things… the melody of Kohaku's birthday present…the picnic…a sleeping angel… And soon Rin herself was fast asleep.

But when she awoke, she found she was not in the same place. As Rin's eyes adjusted, she saw she was under a tree, and that it was definitely nighttime. Sitting up, Kohaku glanced over, "Finally awake sleepyhead?" He chuckled. At Rin's puzzled face, he answered "I thought you'd hide in the spot during the picnic, so I went to go get you, but you were already fast asleep by then." Rin sheepishly grinned back at him, before her stomach let out a huge growl.

"Are you hungry Rin?" Kohaku asked before handing her some bread. "I bet you haven't eaten all day, huh?" Rin nodded between a mouthful. "Y'know, you could have eaten pretty decently for awhile if you hadn't spent all your money on my birthday present!"

"Oh Kohaku, speaking of which! Happy Birthday!"

"Don't change the subject Rin!" He said laughing, as he jokingly pushed her shoulder.

"Well I already gave you your present, so there's no point in arguing about it, right?" She said as she pushed him back.

Kohaku opened his mouth to argue back, but found himself defeated, much to Rin's delight. "Now be quiet, and let's celebrate your birthday okay?" Taking a piece of bread she held it in front of Kohaku and began singing, "Happy Birthday to you…happy birthday to yooou…Happy Birthday dear Kohaku, happy birthday to you! Now blow out your candles!"

"Rin..."

"Blow them out!" Kohaku obliged, and blew out his "candles".

"Did you remember to wish for something?"

"Yeah." He smiled.

"What?" Rin's eyes lit up in excitement.

"It won't come true if I tell you! It's top secret!"

"Aww, Kohaku!" Rin giggled. Then she looked around the park, suddenly remembering the hectic events that had gone on that day. "Kohaku, do you think they threw the picnic for your birthday?"

"No, it was just another one of those picnics that corporations throw to try to "connect" with their employees, and other crap like that." Then he looked at Rin. "Try and stay as far away from people involved with those businesses as possible Rin. All they are, are cold heartless people who step on smaller people to make money." Rin decided she wouldn't tell Kohaku about her angelic encounter; that might make him even angrier, and she didn't want to upset him on his birthday.

Just then, the huge clock located at the square in the center of the city tolled the time.

"It's already midnight! How long was I asleep?"

"Not too long. The picnic lasted awhile. But I think it's about time you went to bed." Kohaku said.

"But it's your birthday!"

"Not anymore! Its midnight." He grinned. This time, it was Rin who couldn't think of a comeback.

"Now off to bed!" He patted her shoulder.

"All right…but happy-ACHOO!" Rin had almost forgotten she sick while she was talking to Kohaku.

"Oh, Rin are you sick?"

"Oh, no Kohaku! It was just a little dusty right here, that's all."

"Oh all right. But you're welcome to take my blanket if you want."

"...ah, no I'll be fine!" Rin said as she walked to her picnic table. She would just have to tough it out. A couple days selling flowers, and I'll have enough to buy a used one at the second hand shop! But just then a breeze picked up, and Rin shivered. M-maybe I'll walk a couple times around the park to warm up…

--Sesshoumaru

After the picnic, the rest of the day had been pretty mundane. Sesshoumaru and his family had driven home, and as soon as they stepped in the door, everyone went about their own business- Inuyasha immediately went to go telephone the girl he had been talking to, Izayoi and Inutaisho had gone off together to do God only knows what, which left Sesshoumaru by himself.

He went up to his room, a huge plush bedroom with high ceilings. The walls were painted a rich red, the wood and furnishings were a deep mahogany, and everything, including the sheets was trimmed with gold. His bed was huge, with a ridiculously large amount of pillows. One wall was entirely comprised of windows that were as tall as the ceiling, and which looked out upon the front yard. On the opposite wall, there was a door that led into his bathroom, which was painted light blue, and was accented with white marble. There was a glass shower, and a huge jacuzzi tub, although Sesshoumaru rarely used this.

Sesshoumaru walked over to his windows and looked out. The sun had set in west, and the street lights were beginning to turn on, little lights glowing in a sea of darkness. He could hear the clock chimes from the center of the city, tolling that it was now 9 o' clock. He closed his eyes, and pressed his forehead against the cool glass. The image of the girl had not left him the entire time. Restless, he grabbed his coat, and decided he would go for a walk.

Passing by Inuyasha's room down the hallway, he could hear him yelling into the phone.

"Well, fine! Don't call me again either!"

Sesshoumaru smirked. Inuyasha couldn't go five seconds after meeting someone before getting into an argument with them. He walked down the grand staircase, his footsteps echoing through out the hall. It suddenly occurred to him how very empty this house was. Opening the door, he was suddenly hit with the frigid air of the night. He buttoned his coat up to the collar, and locked the door behind him. Immediately he put his hands in his pockets, and walked out onto the sidewalk. Following the lampposts, he walked all the way to the square. It was November now; soon they'd put up the huge Christmas tree right next to the clock. Even Sesshoumaru had to admit it was quite a sight to see, with twinkling ornaments and glowing lights. The whole square would be a buzz with families and couples, admiring the lights.

Continuing on, he walked past the skyscrapers and boutiques that lined the streets. And there was his very own business, the tallest skyscraper of all. Next to it was an odd little second hand shop that had survived over the years as more and more businesses had sprung up next to it. He had peered into it a couple of times on his way to work and he knew that an old man ran it. While it was a deeply depressing thought, in matter of time, it would be bought out by some new corporation.

He walked a ways further, and soon lost track of time. But before he knew it, he was there. He wasn't sure how he had even gotten there, or why he was even here. The park was much different at night then it had been during the day. The previous noise was now a quiet hum. Crickets made there music, but that was the only sound. The homeless people he detested so much were now all settled and out of sight. All but one. A figure was also walking around the edge of the park, and who ever it was, was shivering heavily. Sesshoumaru's eyes widening. Shaking his head, he thought it was just another one of his thoughts. But this thought was all to real. What was she doing here so late?

--Rin

The walking was definitely not helping. Rin was trembling more and more now as she walked around the park. Her legs were numb, and she thought that at any moment they would fall off. She didn't think she could take much more of this. But then she heard other foot steps that did not belong to her. Looking up, she saw a figure slowly walking towards her. Rin's sleepy eyes shot open. She couldn't believe it was-

--Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru froze. The small girl's frame had crumpled to the ground. She had fainted. He bolted towards her, bending down, and gingerly touching he arm. She was freezing. Without hesitation he unbuttoned his coat, and covered her with it. Then, carefully, Sesshoumaru lifted her off the ground and carried her, swiftly walking along the sidewalk, back to his home. He hastily unlocked the door as best he could, and sped up the stairs. The house was quiet; everyone seemed to be asleep. Unsure of what to do, he took the girl to his room, gently placing her on his bed. Sesshoumaru delicately put the covers over her, but even in unconsciousness, she was still trembling. Glancing around his bedroom, he desperately looked for anything that could warm her up. Finally, with no other options, he succumbed. Slipping off his shoes, he climbed under the golden sheets next to her. He wrapped his arms around her tiny frame, and pressed his body against hers.

She was so cold. Why had she been walking around without a coat on in the middle of the night? Was she crazy? Suddenly, the girl let out a little whimper, and she nestled closer into his warm chest. Instinctively, his arms tightened around her. After a while, Sesshoumaru could feel her getting warmer, and he actually began to get comfortable, despite his current situation. Faintly, he could hear the clock toll three chimes in the distance. And with each chime, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, until he too slipped into unconsciousness, still holding the girl snugly in his arms.
