SAVING ME

CHAPTER 11 – FLUCTUATING

He slid the swipe granting him access into the penthouse suite, ushering Rin inside and allowing the Bell boy to help him with the groceries. After he had tipped the man and the door had closed, he turned to see Rin looking at him speculatively.

"What?" he asked, perturbed by her steady gaze, the girl was such an enigma.

"I was wondering…why didn't you order food?" She asked as though realizing for the first time, he did actual live in a luxury Hotel even though he owned his Apartment.

He dropped the bags to the floor and shrugged off his jacket before he answered. "Neither my wife and I cooked. She was all business, not the domestic type at all. She appreciated class and wealth, so did I. After she died, I found it…challenging to do…a lot of the things we did together. The restaurant of this Hotel…was a favourite of hers." He finished and towards the balcony, locking himself outside while Rin remained silent, though her eyes followed him with a blank gaze.

Rin moved to the chicken, her jaw dropped upon noting the amount of dirty dishes he had piled up in the sink. She marched towards the balcony, and knocked on the glass. He put out his cigarette before opening it, his eyes questioning.

"You need to clean this place up." She stated simply.

"I'll send for maids in the morning." He stated simply and locked slid the glass shut again Rin sighed, why did it seem as though, they fluctuated in their "relationship". She ran a hand through her hair before it settled on her stomach. She wanted to keep her baby, but what could she do, she couldn't live with Sesshomaru forever, she didn't know him and she did know when he would decided to change…to reveal his true colors even though for the benefit of the doubt she would pretend that he was truly kind and good.

Rin washed only enough plates and pots to prepare the meal, there were so many she doubted she could have washed them all in one night. She made a simple meal of orange chicken with white rice and steamed vegetable, clearing off the beer bottles and garbage from the table while it cooked. After she had dished out the food, they ate in silence before retiring to their rooms.

Rin slipped the small knife she had taken from the kitchen beneath her pillow and stored two tins of soup she had taken in a pillow case. She was determined that the next time she fled, her baby would not suffer and with that she fell asleep.

Sesshomaru sat in a chair in his room, rubbing the new growth of hair on his chin. He had only shaved for the memorial service he had attended at the house of his former in laws, he smirked, the look now made him seem so normal…not a man wreathed in the shadows of loss. He hadn't been completely honest with Rin about the death of his wife…he took a long drink of his whiskey. That bitch!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: First and foremost, THANK YOU WONDERFUL REVIEWERS and ALLTHE PERSON'S who has added this to their favourites!

Things aren't always as they appear correct? Makes you wonder what really happened to his wife and what their story was and also why he's so torn up over her, if he obviously disliked her meanwhile, Rin is preparing to Run. All theses and more questions! The next chapter is a flashback; Dreams of the Past.
