'Its perfectly normal to be attracted to my very hot housemate.' She decided as she sunk down into her bubble bath. Her hair was pinned up on top of her head and her cheeks were flushed from the hot water. The tub was huge, she could fully stretch out comfortably. She again mentally thanked Sesshomaru for blessing her with such an amazing home along with everything else.
She thought back to earlier when she had walked in on him working in his office. Ever since the other night, he had been dressing much more casually around the house. His long legs were covered by grey sweatpants. She giggled at how nice they were, he probably had worn them only a handful of times, compared to her bleach stained holey sweats. She raked her eyes over his body while he worked. He didn't speak to her and she took it as an invitation to sit quietly on the floor by his desk. She began to braid the ends of his hair. She would occasionally run her hands across his muscular back through his hair. His skin was flawless, no scars or marred areas. She looked around his side at his lovely hips, the hair on his lower belly was white like the hair on his head and she wondered briefly if it went all the way down. She blushed at her own thoughts and went back to staring. She looked up at his chest and eventually at his face where she realized he was staring at her. She blushed a bright red, "Do you like what you see Rin?" she could tell he was joking but she still was embarrassed. She looked down at her lap and bit her lip, she had been caught. She thought a risky thought and dared to speak back.
"Maybe I do." She saw his eyes widen slightly, but he gave nothing else away. She got up from the floor and walked away. She got to the door and tried to turn around and be sexy, but she only ended up tripping over her own two feet. She collapsed onto the floor and yelped. She shot up to make sure he didn't see. But of course he did, and to her utter shock, he was laughing. She saw the light gleam off his perfect teeth and she heard his throaty laugh rumble in his chest and she felt like she was seeing stars. She decided then that she really liked it when he smiled.
She sank deeper into the water and smiled to herself, 'any girl would be attracted to him.' She wished she could maybe be with him but things would never work. She thought about how handsome and rich he was. He belonged with supermodels or actresses, not her, who wore the same bra three days in a row, and got mustard on her shirt every time she ate a burger. 'I can't like him.' she just wasn't good enough, and there was no way he could ever like her. He never would have even spoken to her if it weren't for circumstances. She became a little glum at her negative thoughts and quickly shook them off. 'At least I can still enjoy the view.' She smirked at that. It definitely was an amazing view.
She jumped and yelped when her bathroom doors burst open. She shot up and covered her chest, but relaxed when she saw it was only Kyou. "Kyou? What are you doing in here?"
"Auntie Rin! I get to go stay with grandma and grandpa tomorrow!" he smiled a big smile at her and she cheered with him.
"That's awesome buddy! Maybe you should go pack." She herself wanted to leap for joy. She could finally have a break for the first time in weeks. She wondered if Sesshomaru knew about Kyou's departure, because she knew, he for sure, would be the happiest to hear the news.
"Okay!" he pranced out of the room and she groaned when he left the doors wide open. 'Of course he did' she sighed. She quickly got out of the bathtub, her moment of relaxation over and done with. She walked into her closet, her legs and hair were still dripping water. She held her towel loosely around her chest as she dug out some panties from her drawer. She opted for a pair that Sesshomaru had bought her, they were a soft satin. She loved how soft and comfortable they were and slipped them up her pale legs. She decided she would go ahead and match and slipped on her mint green baby doll nightgown. She blow dried her hair and slipped into her bed. She felt like all she needed was some garters and she could be a playboy bunny with what she was wearing. She reached for the book by her nightstand and began to read. It had been a long time since she had read and she chose a more exciting novel. There was so much rave over the Hunger Games series, she herself had decided to read them. She decided it was one of the greatest books she had ever read.
"Rin?" she opened her eyes slowly and wiped her mouth. She looked out of the window to see it had somehow become morning. She sat up to see Kyou at the end of her bed and Sesshomaru standing in the doorway. "Kyou wanted to tell you goodbye." She smiled and tried to quickly comb her tangled locks.
"Goodbye sweet boy." She gave him a kiss and laid her head back down. She heard Sesshomaru mumble something to him and the door softly closed behind them.
He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, curse his parents for living over an hour away. He clutched the wheel tighter as Kyou continued to babble in the back seat. "How about we play the silent game?" he spoke through his teeth. The noise in the backseat halted for a moment.
"What's the prize if I win?" he groaned, why did children have to be rewarded for good behavior. He recalled how he was simply a good child because he respected his father too much, and also his father was one for discipline, unlike the boy in his back seat's parents.
"You can stay a whole week at your grandparents if you behave." He heard a squeal in the backseat and then it was silent. He smirked to himself, this was a two for one bargain. He would get the boy to shut up on the way, as well as rid his home of him for a week. He knew his parents wouldn't argue with the boy if he said it was his prize to stay with them. They spoiled their only grandson terribly.
He pulled into the driveway of the home and Kyou quickly jumped out of the car. "HAH! Uncle Sesshomaru I win!"
Sesshomaru stepped out of the car, "Congratulations." He mumbled as he approached the front door. He let Kyou push the doorbell and he waited patiently for his parents to open the door. His step mother opened the door and smiled.
"Kyou dear! Give me a hug!" she enveloped the boy into a hug and stood up with him in his arms. "Sesshomaru I didn't know you were bringing him here thank you! It's nice to see you as well. You never visit anymore." He tried to force a smile, and apologized, when in reality he avoided his parents at all cost.
He followed them into the house as they walked in. He looked around and saw the house was still the same. All the family pictures were still hung about. He and Inuyasha's graduation pictures were framed on top of the mantle. He flinched when he looked at his brother's face. It had been so long since he had seen it, it was startling. His father walked into the living room and clapped his hand on his shoulder. "Nice to see you son. It's been a long time!" he nodded and his father pushed him into his study for a drink.
He listened to his father discuss business and the rioters for a while. He had begun to tune him out when the topic changed, "So how is the woman that's staying in your house? Are you two together?" he looked at his father's hopeful eyes. His parents wanted him to settle down terribly, they wanted another grandchild.
"No we aren't together." He took a sip of his whiskey while his father thought about that for a moment.
"She's a pretty girl. What's the problem son?" he thought about that for a moment. There really was no problem with it other than he refused to make a move on her.
"I don't know father, drop it."
The ride home for him was peaceful. He actually normally enjoyed the drive whenever he didn't have a chattering child in his backseat. He looked out the window at the cherry trees covered in light snow. It was only November, he figured it would be a snowy winter if it was already dusting the ground.
He pulled around to the front of his house and saw Rin's car parked where it always was. He felt slightly excited that she was home. He walked up the steps and opened the door and found no one in sight. The chill from outside blew into the warm house with a whistling sound. He shut the door and began to look around for his housemate.
He walked down the hall to her room, and saw her still sleeping. He smirked, she looked like a mess, 'a cute mess' he decided. He walked into her room and woke her up, "Rin." She sighed and got up.
"Hello." She lazily rubbed her eyes and stretched.
"Youre being awfully lazy today Ms. Rin." She giggled softly and yawned.
"I was up all night reading a good book." She picked a book up off her nightstand to show him. He eyed her nightgown and realized it was one he had bought her. He admired the soft mint colored fabric clinging to her bare thighs.
He cleared his throat to speak, interrupting her drawn out synopsis of the book. "I would like to take you out to dinner tonight."
Her jaw dropped but she quickly shook out of it, "Yes. Of course." He smiled softly and then turned to leave the room.
