I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 8

He woke up inhaling that light sweet almost translucent scent which always made him think of the rain and a scent which was so uniquely Rin he couldn't help but crack his eyes open. He look at a silky, black head as he held the small, warm body against him with his one arm securing her to him as he wrapped around her. He blinked as he woke up with her in his arm then he sat up. To look at the girl who was hugging his mokomoko.

For so many reasons this felt oh so familiar as so many old memories filled his head. Sesshomaru carefully pulled a stray strand of her black hair away. This felt right for so many reason even as he pulled away from her to get dressed. Rin grumbled as he pulled away from her but it was unavoidable as he walked to his shower, his mokomoko was still coated with Rin's scent. He liked it.

Rin didn't want to wake up but a delicious scent was wafted under her nose. She twitched her nose, as she inhaled the delicious scent and wondered why the temptation of coffee was lulling her from her sound sleep. Twitching her nose again she dared not to crack her eye open because if she woke and everything from the past few weeks had been a dream she'd go walk off a bridge. She wanted Sesshomaru here in her life again because Kami knew she had missed him. Her eye cracked open then because the temptation was getting to be too great.

Amber was watching her cold and seriously.

Sesshomaru, her mouth formed his name automatically but not a sound came from her lips. He just stared at her as she sat up in his bed. She remembered that, she was scared so she had come running to him. Strange, even at twenty-two she came running for Sesshomaru to protect her from her nightmares. As a child she had always run to him to guard her from her nightmares instead of going to her mother or step father she had always run to him.

"Rin," he greeted coldly. She sat up and took the offered coffee as she tried to wake up, he stood up and walked off leaving her in his room. Standing up Rin absently wandered his room, she was careful not to disturb anything in his territory because after all he was a dog and dogs were territorial creatures by nature.

She stopped at the image of her with Shippo, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shishinki, Hinta and Ginta, Koga, Miroku and Sango; a day when Koga, Shishinki, and Sesshomaru had been elected for babysitting duty. The old image made her smile as she looked at it. The good old days, the three teenaged hotshots babysitting the seven trouble makers and her. Sesshomaru never grouped her with the group because before the group got along she had been his friend. She looked over his few photos here, him, Shishinki, Koga all in their sports' gear, then in their military uniforms, then in the heat of a warzone, and then there were no more pictures. Rin frowned as she left his room for she was beginning to for a picture as to just what had happened to him over the years.

And no doubt his father had not been supportive of him or helpful or even understanding. She knew InuTaisho well enough to know his pride was not Sesshomaru but rather Inuyasha, she didn't care though. Sesshomaru was better than Inuyasha, of that she was certain. Carrying her coffee with her she walked silently to the kitchen where she saw him making her breakfast; she knew it was hers because he'd never eat human food no matter what she begged of him. Sesshomaru looked over at her with cold serious amber eyes, she smiled shyly at him knowing she looked like hell with her wild black hair, his shirt she had used as her sleep shirt and bare legs. But he just turned his attention back to his cooking.

Rin walked over to his stereo then smiled deviously, they could have some fun for a moment as she turned up the music he was listening to. He just lifted a brow at her, she smiled deviously at him then started dancing to the music, it was fun, it was exhilarating and it was fun as just slid into old movements of a simple dance. He smirked at her, she grinned then grabbed his hand to drag him into the dance, he didn't dance but he spun her around, it felt like old times being like this as she danced with him.

She lip synced with the song as she danced with him, he just watched her, she smiled in enjoyment. This was the first time in ten years she had smiled and felt genuinely happy behind her smile as she moved to the music and lip synced with a song as he cooked. This was fun, he smirked and would occasionally spin her around as they enjoyed the quiet morning.

After breakfast they didn't do much, she read in the shelter of the house as it rained outside and he worked on what was clearly important documents for his father's company. Sesshomaru would out do his father no doubt.

There was a knock on the door which had her bolting up out of her chair. Fear coursed through her as she scrambled away from the chair to hide, if it was the Onigumos they'd kills Sesshomaru! She needed to escape, run away, get away from him before something bad happened to him.

"Rin," Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist before she ran out of the room. "It is only Inuyasha and his pack," Sesshomaru informed her. She just blinked at him then slumped against his chest.

Oh Kami was she pathetic! She had been terrified over nothing! Nothing! Sesshomaru said nothing as he stroked her hair and the Inuyasha pack came charging in with all their chaos and noise. Rin stuck close to Sesshomaru then, trying to hide behind him because she didn't trust them fully the way she trusted Sesshomaru.

"Hey Rin! Long time no see, I see you grew up tiny," Inuyasha greeted with a grin.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted.

"WHAT!? She's still small!" Inuyasha defended himself.

"Heartless! Absolutely heartless! Hello Rin, I see you're doing better than yesterday," Kagome smiled softly at her, Rin didn't smile back as she hung onto Sesshomaru.

"Still shy too," Miroku said as he walked in with his arm slung around Sango.

"Hey Rin!" Sango smiled at her, Rin blinked at the whole gang.

"You would not believe the fuss she's making down at the station! Seriously! My partner's going batshit crazy looking for her!" Shippo laughed out.

"We should've told Kohaku we were extracting her," Sango informed them.

"No." Sesshomaru said firmly.

"But he liked Rin, and he hates the Onigumos." Sango argued.

"No, I do not trust him." Sesshomaru informed them which had everyone else stopping in their arguments. Rin just smiled at him as he glared coldly back at them, for he had probably just revealed something he didn't want them to know. He trusted them.

She knew what that meant to him.

Sorry for not keeping up with my updates as of late but honestly I've been busy and falling apart as of late but I shall make it up on Tuesday, EVERYTHING is getting updated then and Wednesday I shall be posting the final chapters of Why Should I Worry.
