Chapter 6: More Stalling.
Rin sat on the couch in Kohaku's four bedroom apartment. It was very large, one room was used as a guest room, the other as a den, one he used for storage, and the last as an at home gym. His kitchen was large as well and very modern, his living room was very art deco. Kohaku wrapped his arms around Rin's shoulders. A smile graced his full lips. Rin let her own arm wrap around his waist as she leaned on his chest. They were watching a movie together, something that could only be classified as a chick flick. Kohaku was sitting his thoughts very rarely had anything at all to do with the movie as his free hand fingered the small velvet box in his pocket. 'Is it the right time to ask her? Maybe I should hint at it first. It's been two years and we aren't getting younger, that's what I'll say…what if I scare her what if she thinks it's too soon. I'll have to wing it. I hope I don't scare her.´ the thoughts ran through his head like athletes running a marathon. Kohaku looked at Rin before opening his mouth to speak.
"Rin, I've been thinking about this, about us. I've been thinking about us for a while now." He said nervously, Rin looked up to him her chocolate pools had a twinge of their own nervousness she could feel her heartbeat speed up.
"What is it?" she asked softly the words struggling passed her quivering lips; they did tend to do that when she was nervous.
"I'm not saying anything about marriage just yet, but Rin we aren't getting any younger…I want…I want to start a family…with…you" he watched her as the words slipped from him, he knew she could hear the fear in his voice. She was looking at him in the eyes they were looking into his eyes searching them, scanning them, taking every bit of knowledge that she could find in them.
"Kohaku…I…" Rin stopped as she was talking she was still thinking about it, the movie played in the background the romantic music was not exactly fit for the real life scene that was playing out before her. She knew that he was right, it had been a long time, and he had always been good to her. He was sweet to her from the moment they met. Rin knew that Kohaku loved her she knew that he was a good man, who would support her, who would love her. She could be happy with him, she did love him, but it wasn't a passionate love it was a sustaining love. It wasn't the kind that made her knees feel weak. Rin knew that if he asked her she would allow him to make her his wife.
"Alright, let have a baby…" she told him softly he was shocked by her answer but he was very happy, he grabbed her chin and kissed her deeply, his body was moving over hers. Rin looked at the sleeping man whose arms were cradling her firmly. He pulled her body closer to his own; her head was now resting on his shoulder. Rin heard a vibrating noise and her head turned in the direction of the coffee table where she saw her phone was vibrating lightly the buzzing sound against the hard glass table. Rin removed herself from Kohaku's arms and reached for the phone.
"Hello?" Rin said you could hear in her voice that she was tired.
"Hello, Rin... It's me Dr. Wasureta. We mistook you're aunt's symptoms for the second stage but we were wrong she is still in the first. I just wanted to let you know." The woman spoke professionally she sounded as if she were looking through a chart, Rin could hear the chaos in the back of the phone.
"Thank you, that's great news." Rin said to the doctor. They said goodbye each hanging up easily. Rin turned to see Kohaku looking at her.
"Who was that?" he asked rubbing his eye.
"It was the hospital. Aunt Asuna is doing a little better. " Rin said he looked at her with a smile. He moved towards her and kissed her bare shoulders. Rin relaxed.
Sesshoumaru stood in front of his boss, a man that he would no longer be working for in a few weeks. He had given him a two month notice of his leaving the work place. Kagura had finally come around and called him after another week. She told him that he would let her look for the woman for a few weeks after he left his job and that if by some cosmic miracle he found her that she would let him be with her if the feelings were still there. Sesshoumaru was astounded by her willingness to allow him to be with the woman if he found her. He had never known her to be a woman of such grace or maturity. She was always so selfish, and jealous when it came to him to see her allow this search to go on was almost unnatural. Sesshoumaru saw the way that his co workers looked at him in shock, in disbelief. He walked around he had moved the fastest up the line because had nothing else to live for then he met Kagura and she made him think that he could move on, a least for a little while.
Sesshoumaru ran a hand through his silver hair and pulled the picture out with a small smile on his lips, noting how fitted they were for each other. He was still in love with her.
"Sir, you're bleeding…" a young temp who was working his phones told him, he looked at her and then his finger and noticed a paper cut.
"Its nothing." He said, she looked at him with a seductive glance, he knew her type she was the kind of woman who would sleep her way to the top. He hated women like that.
"I'm sure I could take care of that for you." She told him putting her hand on his. Sesshoumaru stood up and looked at her icily.
"No, thank you." He said coldly pulling his hand away from hers. 'Slut…' he thought. Sesshoumaru walked down to the lobby of the company building and sat down on a bench. He pulled out his cell phone. But he couldn't call, he tried again, but then in a surge of confidence he did it and heard her sweet voice answering the phone.
"Hello?" she asked, he heard her, he sucked in a heavy breath. "I can hear you breathing, who is this?" she asked again. Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to speak.
"Who is it baby?" he heard the male voice in the background, and listened for a moment before hanging up.
"I have no idea." He had heard her voice tell the man. "Rin…" he heard Kohaku say and then a small bout of rustling movements and then the smacking of lips together in a peck.
"I can't wait till we have a baby." He said he heard Rin giggle before he had slammed his finger on the end button. 'She's moved on, having a baby? She is thirty and it's been eleven years…but maybe if we meet again, in person she'll remember the feelings from that night.' He thought lightly trying to convince himself that there would still be a chance. He had to move soon he knew but he would be waiting for two months before he could actually leave.
