SAVING ME
CHAPTER 4 – Kindness or Strategy?
Heart racing, Rin bit her lip and looked up at the Stranger "Is this how you repay kindness Rin?" he asked, looking down at the brown eyes wide with fear and apprehension. He understood that Rin was genuinely afraid of him and it only added to his wonderment of what had happened to her. He really wasn't in a state of mind to help someone, he was barely coping himself. Rin looked away from him and noted the Apartment for the first time, "This is filthy." She whispered and he snorted, unmoving. "Says the person who hasn't bother in how many weeks with the exception of yesterday?" he responded and watched as she blushed.
"At least I've bathed, so I don't see your point!" she replied and he cocked a brow before saying, "Touché." Then moved away, turning his back to her.
"You can leave if you want…" he stated and the pause of his voice stilled her hand on the door. "I'm not going to hurt you or demand anything of you. You're pregnant…I just want to help you." He stated and the girl's brow furrowed.
"Why would you want to help me?" she asked warily and after a long moment, he responded.
"Honestly, I don't know."
She seemed to ponder at his words for a moment. But the slam of the door was answer enough. He sighed and moved to the Kitchen.
Rin raced down the halls of the Luxury hotel, despite her state of dress. She made it to the Elevator, heart racing and took it to the first floor, ignoring the looks she got from people as raced from the building. She bit her lip and looked up and down the street. As kind as the stranger had seemed to be, she couldn't trust him. If she could not trust her family, how could she then trust a man she had only met that very day, a man whose name she did not know? Though he seemed kind, she found this to be a ploy to lower one's defense and pounce when one was most vulnerable. She had learned this lesson from experience; it had also cost Kohaku his life!
That night no more than three hours since Rin had left his Apartment, a freak storm unleashed in the area and Sesshomaru couldn't help but worry as he thought of the young girl who had run away from him. He wondered if she had found a place to sleep, if she had shelter and food. He groaned as he ran a hand through his hair. Thirty minutes later, than man left his Apartment with umbrella in tow. He didn't know where he was going but he was determined to find Rin…to convince her to stay with him until the storm had passed. He got his keys and took the Elevator to the parking lot in the basement of the Hotel, shrugging on his jacket as he walked.
To his surprise, beside his car, shivering with cold and soaked to the bone was Rin.
