A/N: Here it is! The 3rd chapter! :D I'm hoping you guys enjoy it! And I'm also hoping that you don't find it too much like the second one. I think it seems like filler, but I really think it's a good one nonetheless!

"Sesshomaru…" Rin whispered the name of the man who was staring up at her apartment building.

As if hearing his name, Sesshomaru turned in the direction on where Rin was trying to hide. Rin knew her attempt at being unseen was hopeless, and she could feel sweat trickling down her brow. Golden eyes locked with brown ones, and Rin was frozen in what felt like fear.

His sharp features stood out, making him seem menacing and dangerous. His clothes were dark, and looked very expensive, adding to the effect. His red and blue markings, along with his silver hair, marked him for what he really was. Demons lived amongst the humans, though most preferred to conceal their oddities due to the attitude many humans felt toward the other race.

But Sesshomaru was different. He didn't care what the humans thought, in fact, he wanted them to know full well who and what exactly they were dealing with. Rin thought that he enjoyed striking fear into people's hearts.

When she saw that Sesshomaru was walking towards her, Rin broke from her daze and ran in the other direction. She thought she heard loud, quick footsteps pounding away behind her, but after a few blocks, she realized that if she were being chased, she would have been caught by now.

Panting, Rin wondered if what she saw had been all an illusion. She couldn't lie to herself; she had seen false images of him before. But none of those times had felt so real, not like today.

Regaining her composure, Rin decided it would be wise to not go straight back, in fear of Sesshomaru still being there. But she was also curious, and her curiosity always won over her sense of reasoning.

When she returned to her street, she peeked around the corner she was behind to see if he was still there. Thankfully, Sesshomaru really had been an illusion, or had decided to leave. Rin wasn't sure which one made her more upset. While she wasn't too keen on having the man who left her hanging around, she really didn't want to be considered crazy.

Rin practically ran the rest of the way to her room. Locking the door behind her, Rin flopped down on the couch. She let out a sigh, and thought about all the reasons Sesshomaru could have returned.

In the end, she couldn't think of anything other than he had come for her…the thought sent goosebumps trailing down her arms. Although it seemed a likely possibility, she continued to wonder why? After all this time that he could have come back, he chose now? And when she was thinking that she really liked Kohaku at that.

Not knowing what to do, or even sure of the reason Sessomaru had returned, Rin sulked away and crawled under her covers after a hot bath.

Hopefully everything would be normal tomorrow, and that she was just crazy.

"You seem troubled, what's up?" Kohaku nudged Rin's hip with his own as the pair was walking away from the theater. Rin had still been thinking about her Sesshomaru sightings. Since Tuesday, the first time she saw him; Rin had seen Sesshomaru three other times. All of them had been the same as the first though. She had seen him for a second, had turned around, and he had been gone when she turned again.

"I was paying attention!" Mildly startled by outside voices, Rin's words came out sounding irritated, although that wasn't the case.

"I never said you weren't." Kohaku stared at Rin for a while, and she squirmed under his gaze. She knew she had been caught. After an awkward silence between the two, Kohaku spoke again. "You were fidgeting during almost the entire movie. I just wanted to know what was going through that big head of yours."

"My head," Rin scoffed, "is not that big. It is the perfect size of cute and lovable."

"Yes, but I happen to think that your head being big is what makes it cute and lovable." Kohaku teased. He got a playful fist to the arm for that.

The two walked back in silence. At some point, Rin and taken Kohaku's hand in her own and held onto it for all that counted. She needed to be reassured that someone in her life was real.

They parted ways at the usual spot, and more kisses were blown in retreat, like the last time they had separated.

Tonight, Rin got into her apartment just fine; there had been no signs of her former lover. Her bedroom felt very cold though, and she noticed that the window was wide open.

Funny…I don't remember leaving this open…

Hurriedly, Rin walked over to the window and shut it tight. She must be losing her mind, now she couldn't even remember to shut her windows.

As Rin was passing her bed to change into her sleepwear, her fears of the past few days had been confirmed.

As she was removing from her covers a long, very shiny silver hair, she knew for certain that it wasn't her imagination. Sesshomaru really was here, and he had been in her apartment. That last thought really scared her.

Sesshomaru…in my apartment…how did he even know where I lived?!

Something was definitely going to happen, and Rin hoped beyond all hope that her life wasn't in too much danger. She knew that she wouldn't be able to face anything comparing to what she had gone through those two years ago. She didn't know if her heart could take another blow so forceful.

A/N: If this seems to be going all too fast, then I would appreciate a quick say-so so that I can make any changes necessary to the future parts that I have written out!
