Ring!

"Hello?"

"RIN- CHAN!!!"

"Kagome Onee- Chan! How are you? How's LA?"

"Oh. Unbearably hot, like usual…" Kagome said, fanning herself with her clip board.

"Really now?" Rin asked, reaching into the cupboard. She spotted a bag of chips and reached for them. "That makes me want to come down there even more. What are you doing now anyway?" crunch crunch crunch…

"Watching Inuyasha shoot the next scene in a movie he's working on. He's so dreamy…"

"Kags… stop that will ya?"

"So, when ARE you going to be in LA?"

"Two weeks."

"ARGGH! That's not fair! I wanna see you now!"

Rin laughed.

"Sure… well, I got to go. Last minute stuff."

"Fine… Bye BoA- chan!"

"Bye Kagome…"

Rin hung up her cell phone. After the Las Vegas concerts, the next stop was Los Angelus. Rin couldn't wait. The Huston and Dallas concerts went just like the New York one, and Miami and Orlando was fun because of the tropical setting, and Mickey amd Minne Mouse were dancing with her during the Key of Heart number.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked. Rin looked up to find Sesshomaru there.

"Eating. Don't I have time to do that anymore?" Rin asked.

"You're eating… my chips…" Sesshomaru said calmly.

"Your chips?"

"Look at the bag…"

Rin took a look. In perfect Kanji, was his name.

"Well… they sure are tasty." Rin said, showing no sign of surrendering the bag.

"Rin!"

"Come and get them if you want them so bad…"

"I'm serious!"

"Is there ever a time when you're not?"

Behind the closed door, Inutashio raised an eyebrow over the noise that sounded like wrestling on the other side. He rolled his eyes and went back to his paper.

Rin was down on the ground, being held down gently by Sesshomaru, who had the bag of chips high in the air.

"No… fair…" Rin whined. "You used demon power…"

"That's your problem." Sesshomaru said, placing the chips back into the cupboard.

"Oh! Sesshy- Kun! You're so mean!" Rin cried. Then her hand flew to her mouth.

Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks. What did she just call him?

"OH! I'm sorry! I know you don't like nicknames! I'm sorry!"

"I think I'll make an exception for you…" Sesshomaru simply said, and walked out of the room. Rin blushed.

"Hey… where's Sesshomaru?" Rin asked a few hours later. She and Inutashio decided to take a tour of the Strip once the bus got to Las Vegas. Sesshomaru was no where to be found.

"He had a few things to take care of." Inutashio said. "How about checking out Casers' Palace?"

"Do you have your credit card?"

"What?"

"Just remember, Mr. Takahashi, try to stay away from too much stress, and be sure you take your meds." The nurse said, after getting the doctor's release.

"Thank you…" Sesshomaru said, taking the prescription. This was starting to become second nature to him and he didn't like it. Once he got to the Venetian, he caught a familiar scent. He followed it.

"Rin… do you really need all these clothes?" Inutashio asked weakly, as he struggled with all the shopping bags. Rin was in hog's heaven. Chanel, Gucci, Valentino, Vera Wang… all the top brands.

"They aren't all for me! Some are for my friends while some are for my family!" Rin said happily.

"I'm going to drop all these in the car… you're going to be alright?"

Rin was too busy looking at a pair of pumps from Gucci. Inutashio sighed and went to dump his load.

Rin didn't know why she felt like going on a shopping spree. She just wanted to kill time…

"Are you buying them or not?"

Rin shrieked as a finger went down her back. Rin turned around furiously at Sesshomaru, who had another one of his smirks.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SNEAK UP ON ME!?" Rin shouted.

"Because seeing you react brings the highlight of my day…" he said.

Rin fumed.

"Where were you anyway?"

"I had an appointment…"

"With…"

"That is a secret."

"Well…" Rin said, taking his arm. "If you're not going to tell me, then I'm just going to have to take you on a night of the town!"

A few hours later, Inutashio was huffing and puffing from looking in almost every casino on the strip to find Rin and Sesshomaru.

"They're going to be the death of me…" Inutashio said, as he went into the last casino, the Luxor.

"We got a seven!"

"Yipee!" Rin cried out happily. Hey, when you're 21, what else is there to do for fun?

"That's 15 games in a row…" Sesshomaru said observantly. They went back to their hotel for Rin to change into a more suitable outfit. Apparently, that means the alluring black dress that was strapless, that showed the right amount of thigh while still looking modest.

"Yes sir! Sorry boys, but I have to cut out while I still can…" Rin said, as the game keeper handed her the 5,000 worth of chips in a bucket to take to the cashier.

"What about your poker winnings?" Rin asked.

"Apparently, I was part of a TV show…" Sesshomaru muttered, thinking back about the camera men from the World Poker Tour.

"There you two are!" Inutashio said, finally catching up to the two.

"Hi!" Rin chirped.

"What did you do? Make a quick run to Japan and back?" Sesshomaru asked. Inutashio gave the two an evil look.

"Don't push your luck kids…" Inutashio said. After finding out that the kids were only out having a good time, he stormed off back to the awaiting limo to take him back to the Venetian, where they were staying for their time in Vegas.

Sesshomaru and Rin looked at each other and laughed.

"Did you see the look on his face?" Rin asked. Then her stomach growled.

"Guess I'm getting a little hungry. What about you?"

"Who paid last time?" Sesshomaru asked, trying to remember the last time the two had a fun day, which was back in Orlando at Disney World.

"It was me. It's your turn." Rin said. "And I want sushi!"

'Take the girl out of Japan…"

"But you can't take Japan out of the girl."

"Hurry up already…"

A few rounds of blowfish and sake later, Rin and Sesshomaru were sitting out on the balcony of Rin's room.

"Tonight was fun!" Rin commented.

"Sure was…"

"What do you want to do tomorrow?"

"Try not to die…"

There was an awkward silence.

"Oh come on… are you still sore over losing over a game of guitar hero to a girl?" Rin asked playfully.

Sesshomaru smirked. She was too innocent for her own good. He moved a little closer to her face. Rin blushed.

What is he…?

Before Rin was even able to finish her thought, Sesshomaru leaned in for the kiss. Rin's mind went blank. She liked the way his lips felt against hers. She leaned into it more.

Fireworks… Rin thought. Fireworks most defiantly describe the feeling I have now…

Sesshomaru broke the kiss.

"Good night… Rin…" he said. He left her room to go back to his own.

Rin kicked off her shoes, jumped into her bed, took out her notebook and started writing.

Hikaru- San: who said that Paris was the only romantic city? Vegas can be too if the moment's right… For once… no songs… hm… strange. But plenty of fluffiness!

Next Up!
