Hello my lovely little fishies! XD I say fishies because I'm on summer break and back on the beach. I've been taking the second half of this year's semester to catch up on my reading. I firmly believe it's a crucial part to being a good writer, is reading styles you prefer, stories you like. And it was a really good chance for me to unwind as I finish up some difficult and time consuming classes. Rather than try to create something after class, I just let it rewind and absorb inspiration rather than continue to let my brain fry. But now I'm done with a 14 year war with math, and I have a tablet so I can write even when I'm on the beach, not spend all my time messing with pen and paper. And I have about a good week before I commence operation working vacation. God only knows what this summer will bring. ^^
(Story)
The end of another school day meant another meeting with Sesshomaru. The Young Writers Competition's due date was now fast approaching and they were in the final stages of their pieces. All they needed now was some editing and they would be ready to turn in their pieces. Rin was excited that her piece was getting good praise from Sesshomaru. And she was equally impressed by how deep his own peace was. She was happy to help Sesshomaru finished this amazing work of his! And speaking of the Devil, Sesshomaru came around the corner where he'd usually show up just as Rin was approaching the classroom.
"Good afternoon Rin. Good day, I trust?" Sesshomaru asked by the way Rin walked in a bouncy manner as she approached him.
"You could say that. I think I should tell you now that Sango won a Martial Arts competition, and Inuyasha wants us to have a movie night at your home. I've never been there, so I just wanted to see if it was ok with you." Rin asked Sesshomaru with a slight shy look on her face. Sesshomaru could only look at her with mild shock. She was asking him for permission to be at her house despite already being invited by his brother. However, much to Rin's surprise, he took her request very well.
"All right then." Sesshomaru said in a surprisingly casual way. Rin looked at him with slightly widened eyes.
"Really? It's ok?" She asked.
"Of course. I've already seen your house, I don't have a problem with you seeing mine. Ohhh…" Sesshomaru said as he got a sudden pondering look on his face. Rin could only stare back at him with anticipation.
"When did you plan on coming over?" He asked.
"Um, Saturday at about 3 in the afternoon." Rin replied, curious about his question.
"Then if you want, I can pick you up earlier and we can work on finishing our pieces before you have your movie gig." Sesshomaru suggested. Rin immediately portrayed her bright smile and light look on her face.
"Oh, that sounds great! I can be ready by about 10 in the morning!" Rin suggested. Sesshomaru smiled back at her enthusiasm.
"Well then…I guess there's really no point to have meetings for the rest of the week if we're going to have so much time to edit this weekend. How about I just take you home early?" Sesshomaru suggested. Rin was a bit disappointed she wouldn't see him for a couple days, but no meetings during the school week was a rarity that she always used to rest and relax for a while before she was forced back into the grind of her long days.
"Sounds like we have a scheme!" Rin said as she clasped her hands together and grinned in a mischievous way. Sesshomaru just smiled and rolled his eyes at her playfulness as they walk down the familiar hallways, him handing her that familiar helmet, and make their way to that familiar big black Harley.

Feels good to have room to breathe and brainpower to write again…says the girl watching crime dramas with a laptop and a cat snuggled up next to my legs! ^^ FYI, that new Candy Crush app…harder than it seems but strangely addicting! XD
