Roses from the Heart
Chapter Thirteen – Differences
After a quick conversation with his father, Sesshomaru stood from his chair and walked out of the office closing the door behind him. Quietly walking down the corridor to Rin's room he pushed opened the double French doors and walked in.
"Rin, I'm heading out for a few hours, I'll be…" he started before he stopped and looked to see that she was asleep.
He tilted his head to the side as he watched her for a moment. She did resemble Reina greatly but there was something about her that was completely different. Yet he could not place his finger on it.
I will find out eventually, he thought as he turned on his heel and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
…
Rin let out a breath when he left and looked up. She had woken up when he walked in the room yet feigned sleep in order to keep him at bay. She was still a little hurt about what he had said about her being like Reina yet unlike her at times.
How is that even possible, Rin questioned herself as she let her hands run over the soft bedspread. How can I be two different people at one time?
With another sigh, she stood and grabbed her coat from the closet. Slipping her arms in, she pulled on a pair of snow boots, she picked up her keys and wallet then walked out the apartment locking the door behind her before tucking her keys back in her pocket.
Riding the elevator down, she watched the dial drop slowly until she came to the lobby. Stepping out, she zipped up her jacket as she made her way to the bus stop. She didn't dare take one of the cars Sesshomaru had for the plain and simple fact that she didn't want anyone to recognize it.
Sitting down on the cool bench, she sat and waited for a few moments before a bus pulled up and stepped on paying the fare and heading to an opened seat.
After a long bus ride to her best friend's job, Rin walked into the small café and headed to the counter. Her good friend Sango looked up a few seconds later and smiled at the sight of Rin.
"Hey Rin, what are you doing here," Sango asked leaning on the counter.
"Came to order a hot chocolate and talk to you, do you have a minute?" Rin asked raising a brow.
"I have more than a minute, my shift's over," Sango said pulling a cup from the stack. "But I'll make your hot chocolate before I go then we'll talk; kay?"
Rin nodded before she turned and made her way to one of the opened seats. Sitting down, she unzipped her coat and shrugged it off before hanging it on the back of her chair. Sango came a few seconds later and sat the hot chocolate down in front of her.
"There you go," Sango said taking a seat as well.
"Thanks Sango," Rin said pulling the cup into her hands before taking it to her lips.
"So what was it you wanted to talk about," Sango asked leaning back in her seat.
Rin sighed. "It's a long story."
"I've got all day," Sango assured her.
Cliffy. I'm glad I'm going to be able to wrap this story up soon. It's been fun to tell – for the most part – and I appreciate all the love I have received for it. Send me more in your reviews my lovelies. And with that said, I bid you ado until next time.
