SAVING ME
CHAPTER 8 – A proper Diet
"You should take a bath…you've been sick a few days." Said Sesshomaru breaking the uncomfortable silence and Rin seemed to flush even deeper. She picked up a pair of underwear, t-shirt and shorts with the toothbrush and wash rag, following him as he led her to the bathroom. Biting her lip, Rin bypassed him and entered the bathroom. He turned away, headed back to the living room when she stopped him, "Hey…um…what's your name?" She asked with a blush and her heart raced as she saw a small smile play on his lips. "Sesshomaru." He stated and she smiled, it was all she needed, simplicity would be the basis of what they had.
Rin sighed in relief at the coolness to her freshly washed skin. She toweled her hair, before turning to look at herself in the mirror. Her skin was flushed and glowing, but her face was thin, much thinner than she had been prior and much too thin for a woman who would soon have a child. Her long brown hair was damp and looked almost black as it fell to her breasts and her light brown eyes shone in her face. She didn't think she was a beautiful person and she was glad because maybe then her life would have been worse.
She dressed in a pink T-shirt and khaki shorts that went just above her knees with the slippers he had bought her. She left the bathroom and moved to the kitchen, to see a sink load of dirty pots and dishes. She gasped, he really was a pig. Shaking her head, she moved to the cupboards, groaning when all she saw were 3 cans on canned soup, which she figured he had been feeding her during her illness. She opened his double door silver refrigerator and her jaw dropped, it was empty, save for half a bottle of water and a moldy piece of cheese.
"I don't eat much." Came the deep voice behind her and she jumped, closing the fridge door. She opened her mouth to answer when the loud sound of her stomach growling filled the space between them. She blushed and he frowned. "Come, I will buy you something to eat." He said turning and she bit her lip, following behind him. A guilty feeling crept into her as she thought of the money he had already spent in order to help her. "We will go to the supermarket afterwards. Can you cook?" he asked her suddenly and she nodded.
"Good, I can't and I doubt fast food everyday is nutritional or safe for developing baby. You'll need lots of milk for protein and fruit juice and green vegetables…" he droned on checking off each thing on his fingers and Rin giggled, sobering as she remembered he must have experienced living with a pregnant woman while his wife was alive. Rin smiled softly, it seemed bad things always happened to good people…and that was something they both seemed to share.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: In my tirade of explanations I forgot the most important thing, shame on me! I forgot to say thank you to my reviewers *apologizes*. Thank you guys so much, even though I couldn't publish what I had I did get the reviews and they motivated me to go fix my laptop. Anyways, on to some reviews:
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Jolie Luv: Thanks for the review and lol well I can't tell you who the father of Rin's baby is because I haven't decided where that aspect is going yet lol. ^_^
Chou Ran: Thank you reviewing ^_^, I'm so glad you like this story. I will work really hard to keep the updates coming quickly.
Iklona: Thank you for reviewing, lol he should stop smoking though. He's not as old though as I bet a lot of people think he is and this will be seen in a later chapter.

I intended to keep the chapters coming ASAP but I have due to my laptop crisis and now exams there was a little delay. However, don't worry, I won't abandon this story…unless I die. I'm praying that doesn't happen.
