I wanted to publish a chapter for this story since yesterday, but I couldn't write. I think I should stick with one shots because I can't always write when I want to for my long stories. :C I hope this chapter is okay because I feel like… I don't know, it just too cheesy? Over done? I don't even know anymore. I hope you guys enjoy it.

CHAPTER 3

Word counts: 500

Rin was sleeping soundly, her futon felt extremely warm and comfortable tonight. She felt safe and protected. She couldn't remember the last time she was sleeping this well. It was a dreamless night but she wanted to lay there forever.

Lightly, she felt something brushed her cheek. The futon beneath her rose and fell slightly as if breathing and she came to the conclusion that it wasn't a futon she was sleeping on. And the light touch on her cheek was her friend waking her up.

"Ah-Un, let me sleep a little more." she murmured sleepily, assuming that it was the dragon. She never slept next to anyone besides Ah-Un.

She wanted to lay there a little longer, relishing in this heavily soft texture. She adjusted herself, changing to a more comfortable position. If she hadn't known better she would think she was wrapped snugly inside Sesshomaru's mokomoko. She had always wanted to touch the soft mokomoko.

Ah-Un was extra soft tonight.

Not to mention his changed scent, it was muscular and pleasant. She liked it.

"You smell nice," she commented.

"Hm," a deep throaty voice responded, making Rin froze in place. Her heart almost stopped.

It was anyone but Ah-Un's voice. Her sleepiness left her entirely, leaving her wide awake.

Very slowly, she opened her eyes to be greeted with skin. Human skin.

What in the world was going on?

Memories of yesterday flushed into her mind; Hideki kidnapped her, Izanagi tried to take advantage of her, Izumi tried to kill her, and Sesshomaru tended to her wound. Rin blushed at the thought of Sesshomaru.

But she remembered going to sleep alone.

How did she end up sleeping...on top of someone?

To confirm her suspicions, which she hoped was a lie, she let her hand wander, feeling the smooth and warm skin. Bare skin.

Rin gulped.

The rise and fall of her futon continued. She heard a light breathing from above her ear. All those testing happened in less than four seconds. The fifth second, she shot up to a sitting position, away from her live cushion.

Unfortunately, even though she momentarily forgot about he wound, her body didn't. She winced in pain as the injured shoulder refused to support her weight and let her body fall.

Rin went down crashing. With quick reflex, Sesshomaru caught her, but not quick enough to stop her lips from claiming the bottom of his chin.

At that moment the world seemed to stand still.

The sunny morning light shone upon the greenery that were surrounded by trees, weeds, and flowers around a small pond; two bodies lay one on top of one another.

Rin's eyes grew to the size of saucers. A gasp escaped her lips.

Sesshomaru's hands held her firmly against him.

Rin's heart felt as if it would stop, but no, it only beat harder.

She just kissed Sesshomaru!

On the chin, but it was a kiss all the same.

Her face turned crimson and not for the first time.

Lp: Lol, for some reasons I love to make him acting childish occasionally :D

Rinshy: Thanks :D I will try.

Smpt: Lol, I hope you could understand it :D I also hope I reach it too. But it seemed very hard as how things are going with my writing now. Can't even write anything I want to :[
