WHEN A SCORPION AND LEO MEET

CHAPTER 6: NORMAL?

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY INUYASHA CHARACTERS.

After last night, Rin didn't know what to expect from Sesshomaru. She knew he was going to get her back. But the question was when? And how?

As a result Rin decided to play it safe. She avoided her friends all morning and Sesshomaru for the entire school day. Until noon, when she got the new of her godfather's death. Rin became withdrawn and unapproachable, yet no one knew why. Then the bell struck 3 pm, and it was time to go home. Or so she thought.

Rin began quietly packing up her school books, and her calculator and pencil while keeping her tears in bay, as her last class was math. She headed towards her locker to get her jacket and by the time she reached her car in the school parking lot, it was empty. Thinking she was safe, she got into the car, buckled up her seat belt and put her key into the ignition. Only her care didn't start. And she was left stranded in the parking lot.

'Man,' Rin thought, 'I should have known this was going to happen. I never should have thought just by avoiding him, I would have a normal day after last night.'

She went to pull her cell phone out of her bag, only to find it missing. She looked for her walky talky, only to find it was gone. 'Man I hate him. This is war.' She thought and began walking home, her arms full trying hard not to think of her lost.

"Hey guys." Rin murmured as she walked up to Kagome's door. Kagome lived the closest to the school and there was no way in hell that Rin was going to walk all the way home.

"Where the hell were you?" Kagome questioned as Rin sat down on the couch.

"School." Rin replied, pulling her shoes off.

"Then why didn't we see you all day?" Sango questioned as she took a seat besides Rin on the couch.

"Sango. Kagome. I had to avoid you guys because of something I did last night. And I didn't want him to find me." Rin said and began telling them about her date. But not off her godfather's death. Yet they knew that wasn't all that was wrong, Rin could handle Sesshomaru and their games, but nothing would have her behaving this… quiet and withdrawn. So they decided to give her some time to tell them, content to just sit with her until her cousin came to pick her up.

By the time Rin's cousin picked her up and get her car to the dealers it was 9 pm, and she was too exhausted to worry about her take home quiz. As her cousin dropped her in front of the house, Rin spotted Sesshomaru standing in front of her door.

"What do you want Sesshomaru? I'm not in the mood right now. So leave me alone. You got your little revenge so now we are done." Rin said and moved to push past Sesshomaru, only to be pulled back into his arms.

"It will never be over." Sesshomaru whispered into her ear, and took her keys to let them both in. As soon as he closed the door, Rin jammed him in his solar plexus, and grabbed a knife.

Sesshomaru doubled over in pain and lifted his head up to see Rin threatening him with a knife. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He gasped and began to stand up straight. Fortunately for him, Rin's neighbor's dog ran through the door, giving him enough time to rob Rin of the knife. And tackle her to the floor.

"Get off of me!" Rin screeched from the floor.

The dog, obviously not seeing them, just ran past them and went up the stairs.

"No. what is wrong with you?" Sesshomaru asked holding Rin's hands above her head, and applying his weight onto her. After a good ten minutes, Rin decided that she wasn't going to be let up and she had to tell someone, anyone, even Sesshomaru.

"My godfather…my… he…he's dead." She whispered and finally let the tears come.

Sesshomaru pulled her into a sitting position. "It's ok Rin. I'm sorry. So sorry." Sesshomaru replied holding Rin to him as she let out all her tears of losing her closest relative forever. "It'll be okay. I promise…" And with that she fell asleep in his arms in complete exhaustion.

A/N: I might have ended the story there but decided it wasn't enough, and that they deserve more of a connection and a battle of the will. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and got to see another aspect of the scorpion and leo, for although they always argue and tease, they are loyal enough to be there when you need them. Review what you think. I enjoy constructive criticism, and I will update as soon as I can. Thanks for reading!
