Chapter 6
A strange sensation of wetness under her chin woke Rin up "Aghhh my neck hurts!" she exclaimed as he rubbed the back of her neck with her hands. Her still drowsy state made her think twice before remembering where was she, "Ohh right" she thought, I am at the library" It was 2 AM in the morning and Rin had fallen sleep on top of her Epidemiology textbook; she had lost two days' worth of studying because of the peer mentor program problems as well as Kagura's unexpected night visit. She had to catch up, and the worst part is that she had agreed to tutor Kohaku tomorrow. "I don't have time" she said out-loud with a frustrated tone. However, she had been in the library since 6pm and now she had catch up with all the lost material. "I just hope it stays inside my brain" she mumbled hopingly. Rin decided to leave the library and go back to her apartment so she could sleep for the night. The exit door was between two dark glass walls where Rin's petite figure was reflecting. "I look awful" Rin whispered in distaste as she looked to her disheveled raven hair cascading through her shoulders, her big brown eyes were slightly smaller due to her sleepy state and she had huge eye-bags. Her cheeks were still rosy though, however her lips looked pale. She was not happy with her outfit either, she was wearing black sweatpants and an old b long sleeve shirt that was a little small on her, so it accentuated her waist, her sports shoes were dirty as always. "Puff, at least is late, and not a lot of people is around here now" she thought reassuring herself. Before she left, she decided to use the restroom, at this point Rin decided that her bra was giving her a hard time, so she took it off. It should be okay since she had tiny breast, at least for regular Japanese women, and her apartment was daily close to the library.
"Just as I thought" Rin said triumphantly to herself, it was 2:15 in the morning and not a soul was around. The campus area was safe, so she decided to take her time to enjoy the fresh yet warm night breeze. It was going to be Fall soon so Rin wanted to take advantage of the warm weather as much as she could. While she was walking, she saw a tall figure with long silver hair walking towards her, this person was still distant from her, so she could not see who he or she was. Rin noticed that the tall, regal figure was wearing a white uniform and holding a long, pointy piece of metal. She decided to walk faster just in case something happened, however when she drew closer to the figure, she realized it was Sesshomaru. He looked…different, yes that was the only way to describe it. Generally, Sesshomaru would wear business casual clothes and cover his probably tones chest with his always pristine white coat. Now, he looked, elegant, defiant and extremely attractive with what seemed like his fencing uniform. "Both of them walked until they stopped in front of each other. "Hiiiii" said Rin insecurely, Sesshomaru just nodded acknowledging her. "What are you doing here so late?" Rin asked and waited to his response, but Sesshomaru just stood there staring at her seriously. "Nice uniform, I didn't know you practiced fencing….and at his hour" she said half-jokingly. Still nothing, Sesshomaru looked bored now.
At that point Rin started to panic, she hated long silences, especially because she was such a chatterbox, he could help her a little bit at least saying Hi and Bye, but the guy definitely had a stick up his ass! Out of desperation Rin started talking non-stop, "Oh look, that tree has super long roots, last time I was walking close by and I almost hit my head when I tripped with a root. Oh I am a mess; I am always tripping so that is not news hahaha. I was at the library studying epidemiology, it is horrible, how did you do it?" As Rin kept speaking what Sesshomaru considered to be rubbish, he thought "Doesn't she ever shuts her mouth?." Then it hit him, Rin Amori, he had fantasized with her. Sesshomaru quickly scanned her again, yes the girl was pretty, but she always looked tired. "The price you have to pay in order to be the best" he thought once again. Then Sesshomaru looked towards her body, she was petite, but had a nice curvy body too. "Isn't she wearing a bra"? he thought as he stared to Rin's contracted nipples show from her shirt. At this point, Rin had stopped talking and directed her eyes to where Sesshomaru's eyes were looking at. "Ohhh" she shuddered as she covered her breast with both of her hands. "Sorry" she said, I did not remember I had took it off before" Rin's face was as red as a tomato. "Hn" was Sesshomaru reply. "Did he look amused"? Rin could be wrong but she definitely saw a tint of amusement in Sesshomaru's eyes while she was apologizing.
Sesshomaru turned to leave, his long silver hair seemed to emanate light of his own and his skin looked beautiful towards the moonlight and the poor light of the outside lamps. "You should rest, your lips look pale" Sesshomaru said as he left. Rin gasped in surprise of his comment, she then turned to watch him approach to what it seemed the gym. "He might have special permission to access it at his hour, he is the President's son after all" Rin thought. She walked the rest of the way in complete and utter embarrassment, she has just tampered the image of mature woman she projected before to a stupid nonstop talking girl. "Great" she said out loud in sarcasm. " I am never going to have a boyfriend at this rate" Wait what? Why she was thinking about Sesshomaru that way? Sure what just happened would have been embarrassing to anyone, but why she had to think about behaving better in front of Sesshomaru?
Rin's desires to sleep faded as she turned countless times om her bed, did she liked Sesshomaru? No, she did not like him in a romantic way, she barely knew the guy! Every girl in med school was infatuated with Sesshomaru, it was just too hard to resist to his complete…. perfection, YES, perfection, the guy was perfection a very superficial way of speaking. He was smart, handsome and mysterious; every girl would love a guy like that. Okay, that made more sense, she liked Seshomaru's exterior, not himself. He could barely be polite enough to reply to all her comments just now. That also made sense, a guy like Sesshomaru would never look twice a girl like her, Geez, even Kagura who was VERY pretty could not get Sesshomaru. What made her think that she could stand a chance. If she was honest to herself, Sesshomaru was insufferable and if his completely perfect appearance would not get her completely nervous, she would have stood up to him already. Yes, she just superficially liked Sesshomaru, it was the same thing as liking a guys from the cover of a magazine, impossible love. It was decided now, "Sesshomaru is going to be my platonic love" Rin asserted with a smile on her face. Now, that she had sorted everything in her mind and had finally un-liked Sesshomaru, she could sleep in peace.

"No Kohaku, so, virus can mess proteins up when they get inside a cell and modify their protein response. For example they can make a protein involved in cell reproduction such as Ras, to overexpress so more cells that carry the virus could replicate" Rin explained to Kohaku with patience for the third time. "Oooh I see, said Kohaku, "I am sorry Rin, you must think I am stupid" "Not at all" said Rin in a cheerful yet apologetic tone. Rin and Kohaku had been studying for nearly 3 hours, as a result, Rin was totally exhausted and needed food. "You look tired, wanna take a break?" asked Kohaku, "Yeah, I need glucose" said Rin tiredly. "Okay!, my treat, invited Kohaku. "It's okay, please you do not have to spend your money I can use my card in the cafeteria" said Rin trying to convince Kohaku. "Cafeteria? Gross" said Kohaku simulating a nasty face "I would avoid it was much as I could. It is really not a problem Rin, you are doing me a favor" Rin was hungry, so she did not want to fight. "Okay. But next time I will invite you something" answered Rin smiling. "Deal" finished Kohaku.
Kohaku took Rin to a small restaurant that had its own bakery. It was beautifully decorated, with plenty of flowers on the from windows and nice pink painted walls. The tables were small and circular with classic patters ornamenting their wooden sides. "This is such a cute place" Rin told Kohaku, "I promise you will love the food too" said Kohaku as he grabbed Rin'a hand into his. Rin stiffened a little bit to their contact, but calmed down when she saw Kohaku's deep dark eyes staring back at her reassuringly as he flashed a smile at her. She smiled him back and both of them sat down on of the nice private circular tables located in a corner giving them privacy. Both ordered pasta; as they waited for their orders they chattered non-stop. Rin was surprised to find someone who talked as much as her, that made her really happy. Both of them kept interrupting each other and laughing about silly jokes and embarrassing experiences; Kohaku's hands never let go of Rin's hand. After Rin's story of how she managed to prank her friend, both of them laughed loudly. As they stopped laughing, Kohaku's deep dark eyes stared at Rin seriously and with a hint of desire. This made Rin nervous, she saw him approaching closely to her face. Kohaku's rough hands touched gently Rin's delicate heart shaped face. She knew what was going to happen next, Kohaku was sweet oy and he was cute, so why not give it a shot? Rin closed her eyes in anticipation. Kohaku's lips brushed gently towards Rin's lips, as she was going to open her mouth to allow him full access, rhey heard a very familiar voice. "Dammit woman, we called 30 minutes ago for our take out! We are in a hurry!" said a man with long silver hair and bushy eyebrows that enhanced his golden orbs.
"Inuyasha?" Rin muttered confused as she moved her face away from Kohaku's grip. Inuyasha golden orbs looked back surprisingly and ignoring the previous scene. "Whatssup Rin…and Rin's friend" he said calming himself down. Before Rin could reply, she noticed the presence of a tall regal figure behind Inuyasha. "Sesshomaru?" Rin asked again. He did not reply back, as he kept looking at her with his everlasting stoic face. "Did he see me with Kohaku? Rin wondered. Inuyasha took over the silence and said "My father loves this place and his secretary is sick, so he asked me and Sesshomaru to pick up the food before going home for our family day" "Ohh I see" Rim said automatically, her mind still wondering about her kiss with Kohaku and whether Sesshomaru had seen her or not. "See you on Monday, Inuyasha interrupted her thoughts with a friendly tone" "Monday"? Rin asked in confusion. "The peer mentor meeting dummy" Inuyasha finished as he waved his hand in goodbye. Sesshomaru followed behind him, but before reaching to the exit, he stopped looked back at Rin and Kohaku and narrowed his golden eyes towards them. After the weird exchange of glances, he left, leaving a confused Rin and a disappointed Kohaku.
Rin and Kohaku a thing? What would happen with Sesshomaru? What happened with Kagura is she leaving or not? Who is going to be Rin's new peer mentor? To answer all these questions, you got to keep reading. Please pretty please review. I think I will write my chapters daily as always, but I will not post them if I do not see at least 5 reviews. I am sorry to recur to this method, but I really want to read opinions and ideas for this story. Thanks again to my visitors.
