Disclaimers on everything that I don't own.

Concrete Kiss,

By Winterwing3000

Sesshomaru checked his watch, which read 4:00 PM sharp. Nodding to himself, he turned off all electronics in his room and clicked his briefcase shut. Walking out the door, he said to secretary. "Go home."

Sango smiled (which seemed a bit strained) at her boss, "Thank you Mr. Takahashi. Have a good evening."

Sesshomaru gave no reply as he breeze out of the office doors and into the busy streets of Tokyo's Law district, heading down a familiar road. It was time to see his favorite waitress again…

Rin beamed happily at the family of three sitting by the corner windows, carrying a red tray with three different drinks and a medium sized box of chicken wings.

"Two Blue Blizzards, one Beach Bonza and your buffalo wings! Enjoy your stay here at Smoothie Para Para!" she set down the food and left the table, going back to the counter to take another order. Glancing at the clock next to her, her eyes widened with glee as a silver-head man stepped through the glass doors.

"Hello Sesshomaru! I take it that you're having the usual?" Rin grinned knowing at the lawyer. She stepped away from the cashier and waved her friend over to cover for her. It was just about her break soon too.

"Please." Sesshomaru nodded as he headed back to the furthest booth in the café. Rin winked. "Right-o!"

Sesshomaru settled down and waited patiently as Rin came over with a tray of two drinks and a couple of strawberry biscuits. "Here you go Sesshomaru. Strawberry biscuits and your Buba Chai Tea!"

He looked at the girl, and felt his heart skipping a beat. Which wasn't an unusual reaction. He knew that he had an attraction towards the girl and she him. He was just waiting for the right moment.

She sat down across from him with her own drink, one that Sesshomaru never saw before. He looked curiously at it as he drank his tea.

Rin cocked her head to the side as she sipped her drink. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No. This Sesshomaru was just wondering…" He shook his head.

The waitress looked from her drink to him, then back to her drink. "Ooh! You mean this! Well, I thought it would be nice to have a few new selections of drinks for the summer, you know. So Kagome, Yura and I created a few of them on our own. Wanna try it?"

Sesshomaru held himself back for a moment before leaning in the slightest bit. Rin giggled and turned the straw to him, watching as he took a small sip.

Even though their friendship so far was plainly platonic, she can't help but to have this urge to suddenly… kiss him. However, she supposed that this was as close as it gets to a kiss. After all, lip plus object plus lip equals a kiss right? It was pretty logical, considering that she's taking Philosophy as a major in University.

So lost in thought, Rin nearly missed his question.

"So, what's it called?" Sesshomaru asked, quirking a brow after noticing the near-dreamy expression on her face.

"Hm… I haven't thought of one yet. But I guess Concrete Kiss works…"

"Hn…"

"Well, I've gotta get back to work now! Enjoy the rest of your day, Sesshomaru!" Rin smiled at him and turned around, ready to jump back into action when she felt him grasp her wrist.

"Rin… perhaps you would like to join this Sesshomaru for dinner? At seven and I'll pick you up." Sesshomaru slipped a few bills into her apron pocket and walked out of the shop.

Rin stared after him, shocked but recovered quickly, an excited gleam in her eyes. Her day was just made even better.

Rin is 21 and Sesshomaru's 25.

Smoothie Para Para is my own creation, but if it is taken in reality, I'll put a disclaimer on it too.

AN: -sighs- Well, I wanted to call the shop "Lollicup" but nah… they don't sell biscuits! Lol. And I really had no clue as to where I was going with this, but I think it came out just fine! Though, it is longer than the others…and! Title's whacked up, I know. x.X
