Chapter Five – I'll Make You a Deal
"Your entire family," he said staring at her as her tears fell from her eyes. She nodded. "Hmmm, then why don't you stay here?"
"I-I I can't do that," she said still looking down at her hands. "I couldn't burden you with my problems. I thank you for everything you have done already but I cannot intrude."
"You wouldn't be intruding if I am offering," Sesshomaru said. "Besides, you need shelter from the cold weather."
Rin bit her bottom lip as her eyes cast downward and stared at her leg. She didn't want to intrude but he insisted that it was fine for her to stay.
"How about I make you a deal?"
Her head shot up and she looked at the demon questioningly. What did he want her to do?
"If you stay here all you will have to do is go to school and cook dinner." Sesshomaru said; his golden eyes showing no emotion whatsoever. "If you can do that, then you may stay as long as you like."
Rin gnawed on her bottom lip again as she thought over his proposal. She didn't have anywhere to go; none of her remaining family would take her in since the dispute they had not too long ago. She had no choice; she would have to stay here if she didn't want to freeze and starve to death.
"If I stay, you'll have to help me get everything I need for school again," Rin said looking up at him.
What looked like the ghost of a smile appeared on his lips before it disappeared again and he nodded. "You have a deal."
Rin smiled then held her hand out to him. He took it and shook firmly taking in the soft feel of the appendage he grasped.
The next chapter will be a lot longer as requested by Taraah36. I didn't forget.
