Here we are. There will be three updates for this today since I missed two days. When I tell you that I didn't even see a computer I literally mean I didn't see a computer all day. I was gone until like 11 at night so I only had time to do my drabble and I had to do my review replies via cell phone (thank GOD for my Sensation). So now here I am making it up to you all. OH! And Blood Red Roses II will be completed TOMORROW for sure! Enjoy!
Roses from the Heart
Chapter Seventeen – I Love… Rin?
Awkward days passed by Rin and Sesshomaru in a haze. Every time they were within each other's range, they would glance at one another before one would turn away – most of the time it was Rin. And afterward Sesshomaru would stare after her trying to figure out what was going on.
Then there were days when Sesshomaru would wake and breakfast was on the table yet Rin was nowhere in sight. Then he would find a not saying that she went to hang out with someone named Sango and occasionally her boyfriend Miroku or the Sango woman's brother; Kohaku.
I don't know what's going on, Sesshomaru thought as he sat in his home office going over recent files for his company. I don't know why I'm getting so worked up over this.
Rubbing a hand over his tired silhouette, he sighed as he picked up the receiver of the phone that rested on the desk. Dialing his half brother's cell phone, he place it to his ear and listened to it ring.
"What is it, Sesshomaru," Inuyasha's gruff voice came over the phone after the forth ring.
"Get here, now," Sesshomaru said before hanging up.
…
Rin sat at Sango's house with her and her younger brother while their twin tailed cat demon, Kirara, rested in her lap. Rin's nails lightly scratched the underside of the feline's chin as she purred contently.
"So Rin have you talked to Sesshomaru," Sango asked cocking a brow.
"No and I honestly don't want to," Rin admitted as she continued to stroke Kirara's fur. "I have no idea what's going on but every time I'm near him, I get tongue tied and can't seem to form coherent words, let alone sentences. And I'm really scared to be near him right now."
Sango nodded before she looked at Rin and smiled. "That my dear is what we call love."
"I'm not so sure about that, Sango," Rin said as she went to scratch behind Kirara's ears again earning a purr from the twin tail. "And besides, if that were true then my love would be unrequited. He doesn't love me, he loves Reina; remember?"
"I don't think so Rin," Sango countered. "And if that is true, you wouldn't know for a fact unless you actually go and talk to him."
Rin looked at Sango with wide eyes, her mouth hanging agape.
"You know I'm right Rin," Sango continued.
She knew her long time friend was right; she just didn't want to admit it.
...
"What's the problem Sesshomaru," Inuyasha asked as he sat down in his brother's living room. "You only call me when it's a problem so what is it?"
"I have something to ask you," Sesshomaru said as he took the seat opposite of his half brother.
"Go on," Inuyasha encouraged as he looked up at Sesshomaru with burning golden eyes.
"I have come to the realization that Rin is in fact Reina's reincarnation. And ever since I've come to this realization, strange things have been happening." Sesshomaru explained coolly.
"Strange like how," Inuyasha asked raising a brow.
"Like I have fallen for her," Sesshomaru admitted. "At first I thought it was because I was seeing Reina but then I realized that they are completely different. Rin may have her physical appearance and some of her characteristics but she is a completely different human being."
"That is because you love Rin as Rin," Inuyasha said looking down at his foot.
I love…Rin? Sesshomaru thought.
"You need to tell her this Sesshomaru," Inuyasha continued as he looked up at his brother. "You need to let Rin know that you actually love her."
"Hnn," Sesshomaru said nodding. "I suppose you are right."
Whew, I'm on a roll! Next chapter coming up!
