Roses from the Heart
Chapter Fourteen – Feelings
Sesshomaru returned to the apartment after his talk with his father an hour and a half later. He needed to get some things off his chest and his father was the only person he could think to turn to.
And for good reason, he thought as he sat his keys down on the end table and sat on the couch.
It was quiet for a moment and Sesshomaru started to feel like something was wrong.
Rin, he thought as he sat up abruptly; his eyes darting across the room as his nose began sniffing for traces of her scent. She's not here and hasn't been here for some time. Dammit!
Jumping to his feet he grabbed his keys and coat before leaving the apartment slamming the door behind him. He rushed down the hall to the elevator and pressed the button repeatedly like it would bring the elevator faster.
I already lost Reina, I'm not going to lose her as well, he thought as he continued to press the button. Come on you stupid thing. I can fly faster than this.
The elevator finally came to a stop with a dig and the doors opened. Sesshomaru quickly stepped into the shaft and pressed the button to the lobby tapping his foot impatiently as the doors slowly closed and the elevator began its sluggish descent to the bottom floor.
…
Rin sat back after telling Sango the entire story drinking the last of her hot chocolate before she spoke again.
"And that's what's going on," she finished. "Right now my life is hell and I don't know what to do about it."
"Wow, you've got it bad right now," Sango said looking at her best friend sympathetically. "Would you like to stay with me for tonight so you can think? Because from what you told me it sounds like you've fallen in love with your saviour and he has done the same but he doesn't know who he's in love with; you or this Reina chick."
Rin choked on air. Sango thought that she…was in love with…Sesshomaru?
"How did you come up with that scenario," Rin asked when she caught her breath again.
"It's so obvious, Rin," Sango said. "The way you talked about it made it so clear that you like him. And he definitely likes you so I'm offering for you to stay at my place for a while so you can sort out your feelings."
Rin blinked a couple times before she nodded her head. "I think that will do me some good. Yeah, I'll stay at your place for the night then go back later on tomorrow."
"Good then let's get out of here," Sango said standing up. "I'm tired, I want to go home, I want to eat, and I want to go to sleep so the faster we get out of here the faster I can do that."
Rin smiled at her old friend and stood as well pulling her coat off the back of the chair. "I agree, let's go."
And with that the two young women walked out of the establishment together to Sango's car before taking off to Sango's apartment.
That's it for this chapter. Now, I know I promised that Stronger would be updated on Sunday but I need until Monday because this chapter ended up longer than I expected and I want to give my beta enough time to thoroughly go over it.
