"Stop it Rin." Sesshomaru warned. "You'll never smile again if you chase your emotions away with alcohol."

"Wont remember either. win-win I say." Already he could sense her change of character. The cute girl in front of him changed so drastically that they could be two different people. "Go home Doctor Taisho, I dont need you to stick around like this. I'm not dead soooo"

"Call me Sesshomaru...Rin." He reached for the bottle in her hands before she could take another sip. "I wont tell you to stop again." He stared into her eyes as they were face to face. He could hear her heart racing and he could smell the alcohol on her breath. Naraku had broken her to the point that this was her routine.

"Sesshomaru..." She tested his name on her lips. "Please leave now, Sesshomaru." His eyes turned into a glare. Her using his name sounded sweet to his ears then annoying when she used his name to demand him to go.

"If I leave I'm taking you with me, Rin." He took the bottle from her grasp again and put the top back on it. Rin was a danger to herself and he couldnt leave knowing what could happen while shes all alone.

"Why do you care? I only met you a week ago. Was my story so depressing you came back to experience it first hand?" Rins attention was on the bottle in his hand. She made grabby hands for it and looked directly into his eyes. She noticed his grip get tighter on the bottle.

He stared down at her and wished she would eye him like she eyed that bottle. She couldnt take her eyes off the damn thing. A growl came out of him that took Rins eyes off the bottle and directly at his. "What was that?" She questioned. " Did you just growl at me?.." She sounded more annoyed.

"You havent eaten anything today...Eat and I'll give you this." He waved the bottle at her. Is this what he had come to? Negotiating with an alcoholic? He saw her face light up with hope and got up to stumble to her kitchen to fix something simple.

"Can I ask you why youre really here? How did you get into my apartment? Why did you save me?" The clinking in the kitchen meant she had decided on something to eat. He could hear her shuffling through drawers searching for something. "Sesshomaru?" She asked over the noise.

"Your nurse called. You drank half of a bottle of whiskey on an empty stomach and passed out...I stayed to make sure you didnt get alcohol poisoning. You asked if I was an angel and fell asleep. I gave you a few shots to help you sleep but you woke up and tried to leave the house to get more alcohol"

Rins head poked out of the kitchen as she listened to him listing off what she did while drunk. "I'm sorry... I actually did that? I dont remember anything after getting Ahs food bowl and waking up..." She walked next to him and sat with a bowl of ramen noodles. She noted Sesshomaru sighing to himself. "Want some?" She asked. His head shook but she knew he would decline.

Her hand reached for the bottle while she was slurping down a few noodles. Reluctantly he handed her the bottle and watched her take sips inbetween noodles. Kind of disgusting to him but he still wasnt about to leave.

"Were leaving once you sober up. Naraku should be sending people to come get you anytime. Theyre not getting their hands on you too." The last part made her heart sink, oh yeah he was into Kagura a while back... Maybe he's why she's so heartless. He definitely looked like he could ruin a girls life. Just like all the men in her life it would seem.

"Are you kidnapping me Sesshomaru?" She asked kind of hopeful. He nodded. In a way he actually was but she couldnt know why just yet.

He could smell her sweet wildflower scent getting overcome with alcohol again. Why would she mask such a beautiful smell? Her speech was starting to slur again and she was starting to get careless with the rest of her noodles. Watching as she placed the bowl in the closest area he realized this is how it was so cluttered when he got there.

"Keeping you safe." He finally replied. He reached for her bottle to take it again but she stopped him with 1 finger held out and took a long couple second gulp. Annoyed at her behavior he almost took the bottle from her lips again but she stopped before he could make a move. Rin handed him the bottle right after.

"I'm done." she stated before picking up her dishes and walking to the kitchen. "I'm going to try to get more sleep before, if thats okay?" She walked to her bedroom and stood in the doorway. She didnt wait for his reply and walked to her bed. "Goodnight Doctor..."

Sesshomaru sat there alone while he waited for Rin to fall asleep again. How was he going to manage with this girl? Already she made him compromise his views. Taking in a human girl wouldnt be like adopting a new pet. For the millionth time that day he pulled out his cell phone. He searched for Narakus name then pressed the dial button. A couple of rings and finally the dreaded voice answered.

"She's mine." Then Sesshomaru hung up.

He didnt want to wait for an answer. As soon as he was sure Rin was fast asleep again he took the liberty to pack her a bag of essentials. He could smell which of her clothes were worn most by her scent. They smelled like they hadnt been worn in months. Peculiar.

There was a matter of getting her dog back but that would have to wait until he got her to safety. Should he wake her up or carry her to his car? She'd wake up in a different place but it wouldnt matter. He only had a couple of hours until one of narakus henchman showed up at Rins door. He really shouldnt have made that phone call.

In 30 minutes he had everything ready for Rin to leave now all there was left was to get Rin into his car without waking her up. Not hard since she seemed to be in such a deep sleep. His eyes were fixated on the nape of her neck. Is that where her scent was coming from? He leaned in closer, why hadnt he noticed sooner?

The closer he got to her the more something inside of him wanted to break free. "Just this once..." He told himself and placed a gentle kiss on her neck. He could taste her skin on his lips. Placing a finger to touch them he realized he needed more of this human.

"Stop it Ah, mommys sleeping." She mumbled in her sleep then rolled away from him. Her talking about her dog made a small hit of jealousy spike through him. He was going to have to meet this Ah who seems to always be on Rins mind.

He bent down and picked Rin up bridal style and carried her to the living room before she woke up. " Hello Doctor." Rin yawned. She smiled at him for a brief moment but it was enough for Sesshomaru to feel his heart flutter. Is that what that was? Kagura never got him riled up like this. What was this girl? Is what she is why Naraku is so hell bent on destroying her?

"Are we leaving now? I'm not dressed to leave the house." She looked down at her pajamas she didnt remember changing into. Sesshomaru handed her the bag he filled for her.

"You dont need it. Its pretty late and not a long drive." He unlocked her front door and motioned for her to follow him.

She still wobbled as she approached the front door but walking looked easier as she sobered up. "I got this..." She whispered to herself. Sesshomaru placed a hand on her shoulder to help her balance better.

"Thanks..."

He nodded and directed her to where he parked. It wasnt a sporty car. He liked simple and thats what he got. Opening the door for her, Sesshomaru went to his side but Rin was already asleep again when he finally sat and put his seatbelt on. Sesshomaru started the car and backed out of his spot.

I'm writing a lot these days. My insomnia keeps me from sleeping so if my story gets confusing ill probably rewrite chapters during my re-reads.
