Disclaimers on all the characters of Inuyasha by Rumiko Takahashi. I don't own them, so don't sue. I also don't own Brad Pitt (how sad).


Caementa,

"You know," Rin started, licking the excess ice cream from her spoon, "I believe that I deserve some compensation."

Sesshomaru gave her a dry look. "And for what, if I may ask."

"You may. And it's for my giving up that," she pointed at the television screen then motioned to her surroundings, "For this."

"This…?" he echoed, brows furrowing. "You are unsatisfied with the house?"

The woman sighed exasperatedly. "No Sesshomaru. I meant my old life."

"You regret giving up your musical career," he said in a deadpanned tone.

"Exactly! I mean, I had years ahead of me, you know? I was only a teenager when I finally made it into the singing business!" Rin chirped. She set down the empty ice cream bowl and hopped into his lap, straddling his hips. Sesshomaru gave her a look but locked his hands around her waist, steadying her.

"Don't give me that look! I was making the charts and you knew it! It's not everyday that your song stays number one for three months in a row," she pouted, fiddling with his ponytail.

"Therefore you wish for me to compensate you for losing the first spot?" He quirked a brow at her. "Ludicrous."

"I won't mind if you do, but that's not what I'm aiming at," Rin said, combing the silver tresses. "I was extremely popular and I know that you'll agree with me when I say that my figure's a bit better than most. But consider this, what if I had continued singing? What if 'Caementa'(1) didn't leave the spotlight in Hollywood?"

"Indeed. I doubt that much would have changed," Sesshomaru answered her. He reclined onto the sofa, pulling her down with him. Their legs tangled together as she lay on top of his chest.

"Totally not true. Didn't you hear of the rumors? Caementa had a couple of fans," she sighed dreamily. "I couldn't believe that Brad Pitt had a crush on me! I'd date him any day."

"Sadly, that won't be happening," he rumbled, tightening his hold around her middle.

"It is sad. I could have been Mrs. Brad Pitt!" She faked wiping a tear. "Even if for a couple of months."

"Hn, too bad." He shuffled her upwards. "You'll be Mrs. Sesshomaru Hizumi in a matter of months."

"But that hardly makes up for all that I could possibly be missing out!" she huffed. "I'd probably be producing more PV's and maybe even be part of a cast for a movie!"

"I don't find that necessary. You have all the resources at your disposal," Sesshomaru muttered.

"You're not taking this conversation seriously, are you?" Rin demanded with her eyes narrowed.

"Not particularly," he said offhandedly. "However, if Caementa wish not to receive her so called compensation, then I'll pretend that this conversation never existed."

"Oh?" Rin slipped into Caementa's persona. "And what would that be, mon cher(2)?"

"A world tour," Sesshomaru stated. "Covering all famous cities."

She gasped as her brown eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

"Do you wish not to?" he countered.

"Oh my gosh! I love you so much Sesshomaru!!" Rin squealed. "Th-."

Seshomaru pulled her down, pressing a breathtaking kiss against her lips and gently nipped at her lower lip before letting go. "You're welcome."


Notes: This is Alternate Universe (AU).

Sesshomaru and Rin are both adults, living in USA (if you didn't pick on the clues).

(1) Caementa – Latin for "chips of cement", plural form (sing. is 'caementum')

(2) Mon Cher – "My Dear"


AN: Haha, the silliness of it all. I love this kind of Sesshomaru, although I think I was somewhat channeling a fluffy Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII) as Sesshomaru. Even though Sesshomaru's slightly out of character, I'm pretty happy with how this came out. Hope you enjoyed it!
