Rain Sick,

By Winterwing3000

"Now open up." Rin said, prodding a thermometer into Sesshomaru's mouth.

Both of them had been out in the rain for quite a while, forgetting their umbrellas as they ran home from the park. They were just enjoying a nice friendly walk outdoors, where the sun was out and beaming down at the two. But suddenly, a mass of gray clouds formed overhead and down came the rain, in sloshes.

Taking the taxi wasn't an option. Sesshomaru had brought he bill-less wallet (he keeps more credit cards than she could count) and she had only brought enough change and bills for a small snack at the park and for the money beggars. So both of them had been out in the downpour, came to her house, soaking wet like drowned rats.

Now, Sesshomaru was being a big baby about 'not needing any medicine' and 'not sick' at all, with some very convincing coughs as Rin was having a hard time trying to force the thermometer into his mouth for his temperature.

"Just say aahh! Its not hard!" she demanded crossly as Sesshomaru merely rubbed his long platinum mane with a fluffy white towel.

"Rin, I am not sick because of such a little rain storm." He told her coolly, refusing her assistance.

"Fine! Be that way and get sick for all I care! Gods, men and their egos! I mean, what the hell is wrong with the whole male population and accepting a little help from their friends!" Rin ranted, leaving the thermometer on the table and went out of the room.

Sesshomaru frowned as he heard her angry outburst about males and his frown deepened as he heard the front door slam. Just where was that girl going? Into the rain? And there she was telling him that he was sick.

Getting up, he went to the door and opened it, unexpected to see the brunette girl sitting in the middle of her walkway, head thrown back.

Curiosity sparked. "What are you doing?"

"Hm? Just trying to get rain sick, that's all." She said, closing her eyes.

"Rain sick… where is it that you get these terms, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, shaking his head inwardly.

"I'm just trying to get sick of the rain so I can get sick of you." Rin snapped, still down about his rejection.

"Keh, you know that isn't going to happen Rin. You're too attracted to me." he said, smirking at her effort. Sesshomaru walked out into the rain, squatting down to meet her eye level.

"Says who?" she asked with a suspicious tone, peering up at him with narrowed eyes.

Sesshomaru replied simply, "Your eyes."

"I hate you… you know that right?" Rin muttered, shaking her plastered bangs.

"Aa, I know all Rin." He told her, brushing her hair from her eyes to have a better look at them. Finally he bent down and pressed his mouth lightly on hers, one hand slipping down to the puddles.

SPLASH!

Rin shrieked as the coldness dripped into her clothes and punched Sesshomaru, who only laughed at her reaction.

Note: Rin's about 20, Sesshomaru's near 30.

Rain sick – something that I call, "refreshing yourself in the rain and expecting to catch a cold while you're at it"
