Roses from the Heart
Chapter Sixteen – It's Love
Sesshomaru woke to the sound of the door opening and closing around six the next morning. Golden eyes shot opened as he looked around the room trying to locate whoever it was that had walked into his apartment. He looked to his left over by the table to see Rin standing there, her back to him. His lips creased with a smile before he turned to the window and saw the rising sun. How long had he been asleep?
"Rin," he spoke softly causing the girl to jump and whirl around to look at him.
"Sesshomaru-sama," Rin said with a sigh. "I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"Yes but that doesn't matter, where were you?" he asked; his voice laced with concern as he checked her outer appearance for any signs of harm done to her person. He detected none.
"I went to a friend's house," Rin said. "I guess the time escaped me and by the time I realized it, it was very late at night and she let me stay there because she didn't want me out in the dark by myself." It wasn't a complete lie; she just didn't want to admit that she had left so that she could clear her head from the mystery that was him.
"I see," he said; Rin noted that he still sounded worried. "I was just worried that something bad had happened to you."
Rin could feel her chest tightening at his words. Those words that he spoke just confirmed what Sango had told her yesterday; he did love her.
"Rin, are you alright," he asked raising a brow.
"I'm fine, just a little tired is all," she said as she turned to smile at him. "I'm going to go back to bed. You look like you should do the same."
And with that she turned and walked down the corridor to her bedroom before entering and closing the door behind her. Sesshomaru sighed as he returned to the couch.
At least she is safe, he thought as his eyes closed.
