Disclaimers on everything that I don't own.

You are You,

By Winterwing3000

"Hey, you know… I've always wondered about this. Why me?" the brunette said, playing with the silver strands.

"Hm?" the man grunted in response to the girl, having dozed off from the relaxing scalp massage.

"Why me?" the female repeated, shifting her bent knees for a better position on the grass while not removing the head on her lap. She continued to run her hands through the silky silver hair, absentmindedly braiding it and stringing it with wild dandelions.

"Why you what?" he said, opening one amber eye to look up at her.

"Why did you pick me when you could've someone better?" she said patiently, stifling a few giggles when she examined her handy work.

The platinum hair cascaded above his shoulder, twisted into a tight braid with the yellow weeds woven into it. When he saw her giggles, the man frowned and pulled his hair back. Automatically, his faced was drawn into one of disgust and he immediately pulled his hair out of the braid and threw the weeds out his sight. The wind caught the deceptive flowers, carrying them away from them and towards the trees.

"As I've said many times before, you are you. And because we are soul mates." The male told her.

"I am I… yeah. But don't you find this odd? You're older than me by nearly ten years and well… don't you feel awkward around a girl like me?" the girl bit her lip, unsure.

"For Kami-sama's sake. No, I do not find this odd or awkward just because you are a decade younger than I. And no, no other girl can replace you. So stop asking me these pointless questions. You have captured me into some trance that I am unable to break and I'm not planning on to. Satisfied?" the silver haired man stated, looking sternly at the girl.

"Well, you're not the most romantic type of guy, but that's a start. So yes, I am satisfied. But for that, you're sleeping on the couch for a week." the content Rin said jokingly, tapping the man's nose, a golden band on her middle finger.

"Keh, don't order me around woman." Sesshomaru said, grabbing her hand and kissed her palm.

Note: Kami-sama – God

Rin's 20 and Seshomaru's 30 (AND they're married… :smirks:)
