"Kagome! Hush!" Rin whispered into her cell phone causing Kyou to look up at her from the floor.
"All I'm saying is you guys have been seeing each other for three months, and he has yet to make a move on you. Something's up!" Rin rolled her eyes, trust Kagome to make a mountain out of a mole hill and make her doubt her relationship. Rin of course was in no hurry for sex by any means, she had never done it before (as embarrassing as it was).
"Well then Sex Queen Kagome, what do you recommend?" Rin teased sarcastically. She meant it as a joke but of course Kagome continued to blabber ideas. Rin sighed, she took her phone from her ear and checked how long she had been talking to Kagome. Between her and Kyou they had been on the phone for forty-five minutes.
Rin interrupted her to speak, "Well Kagome you know Sesshomaru is gonna be home soon. I gotta go." She kept trying to get off as Kagome continued to babble. The program she was in obviously had her going crazy with no drama.
"Oh, hey, don't tell anyone yet but I think I might get to go home in two weeks." Kagome whispered as though everyone in the house might hear her.
Rin smiled, "Well that's great Kagome. I know Kyou and I both miss you very much!" They continued to chat for another ten minutes before Rin finally ended the call.
"Kyou, your mom sure can talk a lot." She sighed and he giggled.
"I miss mommy talking." He put his head down for a moment, temporarily sad.
"Yeah, I do too." Rin rubbed his back and he continued to play quietly with his blocks and toy cars.
"Are you positive this cant wait?" Sesshomaru was beginning to get angry. Apparently his own company in Japan took a sudden turn in the stock market and needed his attention right away. He listened to his board manager speak to him quickly in Japanese. He rolled his eyes, of course he couldn't trust anyone but himself to run his company. "In that case, I will get on a plane in the morning." He hung up the phone and sighed, he had had a long day.
He leaned back in his chair and put his arm over his face. The cold metal of his wristwatch caught his attention and he lifted his arm to check the time. It was 5:30, he was usually on his way home at this point. Not wanting to delay his trip home any longer he stood up and grabbed his over coat.
As he walked towards the elevator several of his employees chimed their goodbyes. He had either nodded or waved them off as he walked by. It was new for him to be so nice to his employees, usually he would have gone by without a single word. But he figured it was because of the same reason he did all the things he did these days, Rin.
The infernal woman had wriggled her way right into his heart, making him change into a totally different person. Never was he one for holding hands, or cuddling on the couch, but Rin changed things. In fact, he would do just about anything Rin asked of him. Anything to see her sweet smile on her face.
He unlocked the door to the house and walked in, immediately looking around for his housemates. Instead of throwing his spare belongings on the floor, he politely handed them to the maid and she smiled in appreciation. It didn't take long before he heard the shrill giggling of his nephew, and the tinkling laughter of Rin. He didn't go to them though, instead he went up to his room to change, loosening his tie as he walked up the stairs.
"Mr. Tashio, dinner is ready." He heard the maid say through the door. He quickly pulled his hair into a high ponytail and walked out of the room.
It felt so good to get out of his work clothes and into some comfier clothes. Rin had begun to inspire his latest fashion choices. He was wearing some old basketball shorts from college and an old tank top. Before Rin he wouldn't have been around anyone dressed like this. 'Things change I suppose,' he thought as he walked down the stairs.
He joined them at the dinner table, sitting at the head where he always did. He could smell the food that his cook had whipped up for them that night. Kyou, accompanied by the cook, brought his plate to him and smiled. "This looks delicious, thank you." He said quietly.
He noticed Rin wasn't at the table, he began to get worried when he saw her come out of the kitchen. She smiled at him and said, "Sorry! I was in the kitchen, doing urm stuff."
He could tell she was hiding something and judging by the chocolate frosting on her cheek he figured her and Kyou had made him some sort of dessert. However he pretended not to notice and smiled softly at her.
It was so hard to spend time with her when the brat was around, for some reason Rin didn't want him to know they were together. It suited him just fine, as he didn't care either way.
Dinner was quiet and noneventful, something he was not used to. But when the cook announced dessert he saw Rin and Kyou get excited. The cook brought out a two layer chocolate cake with a big happy birthday written on it.
"Who's birthday is it?" he asked as he watched Rin and Kyou put candles in the cake.
"Kyou why don't you tell him?" Rin smiled softly and patted the kids hand.
"It's Sailor's birthday!" he said as though it was obvious.
"And who is that?" Sesshomaru stated casually, taking a sip of his wine.
"He's Kyou's imaginary friend." Rin murmured quietly to where only he could hear.
Of course it wasn't even a real person's birthday. He however decided to play along for the sake of not disappointing Rin or the child. "Very well, then happy birthday to him."
He watched as they sang happy birthday and Kyou waited patiently for his friend to blow out the candles, "He's shy," Kyou justified as the candles remained lit. "Uncle Sesshomaru you blow them out for him!"
He began to say no, but thought better of it when he saw Rin glare at him, he could never tell her no. He took a deep breath and blew out the five candles on the cake. They clapped as the cook came in to cut the cake.
After dinner Rin sat in the living room reading a book. She had had a wonderful evening, between cakes, Kyou, and the wine she had drank with dinner she was beginning to feel drowsy. Her eyes strayed from her book as she began to think about what Kagome was saying earlier. Why hadn't he made a move on her? She scowled as she thought of the several times he had kissed her, which had led to nothing but maybe more kissing. Was she not attractive to him? She skimmed back through her and Kagome's conversation. She thought about all the things Kagome blabbered about over the phone when an idea struck her.
"Sesshomaru!"
She waited a few minutes, knowing good and well he had heard her.
"Yes?" she heard him approach her and she looked up and smiled at him, "Let's go out tonight."
