Kagome smiled cheerfully as
she leaned over and kissed her former guardian on the cheek. �Kaede, I can�t
stay long. I have to prepare for Ryoko�s birthday party.�

The older woman smiled as she
rubbed two little ebony ears affectionately. Ryoko giggled and playfully nipped
at her foster grandmother. �Time passes so quickly.�

�I know I can hardly believe
it.� Kagome sighed then placed a little knit cap on her daughter�s head, ironically
the cap had rabbit�s ears on it.

�They grow up so fast .� She
handed Ryoko back to her mother then sighed in pride. It seemed only yesterday
that she came across the hurt frightened little girl amongst the wreckage on
the mountain road. Holy power flowed from the girl naturally. It kept her safe
during the accident and drew Kaede to her, thus insuring her survival. A car
wreck had taken the lives of Kagome�s family and through that misfortune Kaede
received a new lease on life. It allowed her to do something, she never thought
she do, raise a child.

Kaede opened her mouth to
comment then immediately shut it. She felt the stir of an old friend. �Don�t
wait so long next visit, my child.�

�I won�t.� She waved then
turned to leave. A knowing smile flittered across her face as she felt a
familiar stirring as well. She was quite surprised by it, but pleased. Her love
matching was working after all.

Kaede watched Kagome and
Ryoko�s forms retreat lower over the visual zenith of the shrine�s steep steps.
She went back to sweeping. �You know if you wished to remain in secret you
might not want to approach when Kagome is around. I did train her well despite
her bartending occupation.�

Sesshomoru leaped gracefully
from the leafy branches of an old tree. �I am not concerned with Kagome knowing
that I visit here. She has enough taste not to mention it to Inu Yasha who
would not hold his tongue.�

�That is true,� she replied
laying her broom down and sitting on the steps. She stared at Sesshomoru
expectantly. A look of annoyance passed over his features as he observed the
portly old miko. It was apparent she expected him to bare his soul in some sort
of ridiculous catharsis, by the way she observed him with her good eye. A
weathered black eye patch adorned her face along with the wrinkles that by no
means told her age. He had often wondered exactly how she had encountered such
an injury, but did not out of respect for privacy. The subject of his newly
regenerated arm was still sore with him and he assumed it was the same for her.

Seeing his agitation brought
about an amused look on her features. In all of her years of knowing him, this
was the first time he appeared bothered by something. Vexed was more like it,
he looked utterly vexed. There was obviously something going on that was not
falling under his immediate control. �Are you going to tell me her name?� Kaede
asked shrewdly.

Sesshomoru narrowed his eyes.
He hated it when she could read him. It was vexing enough that he was either
wasting energy being annoyed by the cursed woman in the first place. �Are you
going to depart this earth anytime soon, crone?�

An eyebrow rose. Now she was
thoroughly amused. He rarely gave into sarcasm and disdain. This woman that had
his attention was obviously a tender spot for him which he would see as a
weakness. �I am sure I�ll be here well after you�re dead and gone,� she mused
fingering her rosary absently. �So want her that badly?�

�You are as incorrigible as
the fox,� he snapped. �I have no interest in humans.�

�Now this interesting, a
human,� Kaede smiled. �I have to say I am surprised. No wonder you came to me
for advice.�

Amber eyes iced over. �Do not
patronize me, Vixen.� The old miko�s attitude became grave. That was enough for
now, pissing him off before he told her the details was not going to get her
anywhere. It was clear now that he was taking pot shots now.

�In all seriousness, what
brings you by other than to visit old lonely woman?� she asked.

�This place is beautiful,�
Rin sighed taking in a deep breath. She wanted to take in everything. The
multitude of colors and life surrounding her, even her personal garden back
home could not compare to this. Home�she was on a mission to infiltrate not to
be entertained. She had been having difficulties staying focused. It had been
unexpected that so many of her enemies would be so� likeable. Then there was
Sesshomoru with audacity, coldness, arrogance, eyes like liquid heat, and
magnificent silver hair�

Rin sat up and shook her head
violently. �Having dirty thoughts about me, eh?� Kenji asked.

�No, I wasn�t,� she answered
trying her best to put on her stone mask. It had been difficult to maintain it
since she came to Tokyo

�Then it must have been about
Sesshomoru,� Kenji replied shrewdly. �He�s a too stiff for my taste, no I take
that back he�s stuffy. If he were stiff he would be perfect.� He turned towards
Rin�s shocked and now crimson face. �Oh what, don�t tell me you didn�t know
that I have male lovers?�

�Well I knew, but I�why�� she
stammered.

Kenji sat up and looked into
innocent brown eyes. It was amazing that someone so jaded was so inexperienced.
�You�re so cute and pure Rin. Want me to taint you?� he grinned as he moved
closer. Rin sputtered more and backed away.
�I was only kidding though the offer is on the table if you want it.�
Rin shook her head and Kenji chuckled. She was so cute when she was not on the
defense. He could see why Sesshomoru was so interested she was enigma. She
reminded him of her so much. �I�ll make it up to you by answering your
question. I haven�t had a serious lover in five hundred years and no one has
compared to her so I entertain myself with the other side.�

Rin blinked. Was he being
serious? He just shared something sad and profound with her. He had to be
joking, but she could see the look his eyes. The usual mirth was gone. He was
completely serious. �How did it happen, if I may ask?�

The look of seriousness
melted away. �You don�t want to hear about that.� He stood to his feet. �It�s a
boring story anyway. I would much rather hear about your life. Why are you so
jaded when it�s clearly against your nature?�

�I�ll answer, only if you
tell me why you�re always jovial, when it�s clearly inappropriate.�

Teal met chocolate briefly.
�I�m a fox, being tricky and elusive is a prerequisite, what�s your excuse?� he
asked.

�I am woman, going on my
feelings and changing my mind is a natural prerogative.� Rin smirked as she
continued to stare Kenji down. He would not win this.

�Oh?� Kenji leaned down so
that their noses were nearly touching. His eyes flashed almost predatorily when
noticed the crimson flush in her cheeks. She refused to back down despite the
close proximity. Rin was a delightful creature. It had been some time since
someone stirred him just so, but still she wasn�t Kai. The raven haired beauty
was tempting him, but he made a promise and besides frustrating her was more
fun. �Then you�ve changed your mind about us. I would be more than willing to tango.�
He licked her nose suggestively then stepped back.

Rin blinked several times.
She could not believe he just came onto her and licked her. Then there was her
bodily response which was less than encouraging. �You�re a cad you know that?�

�Yes, but that�s what makes
me me.� He grinned. �I find you so amusing. You keep me on my toes, Rin, so I
can imagine what you must do to Sesshomoru.�

The dark haired woman opened
her mouth to respond when she heard foot steps behind them. She turned around
and her face paled. A man and woman bowed reverently to Kenji. �I�ve come to make
my report, Lord Kenji,� Miroku said lowly.

�Rin is a friend, there is no
need to use my title here,� Kenji replied. He turned to Rin who had a curious
look on her face. �Rin, this Miroku and Sango.�

Miroku smiled and offered his
hand. His deep violet eyes appraised her carefully. This Rin was quite a
beautiful. He opened his mouth to proposition her when Kenji cleared his
throat. �It�s a pleasure to meet you,� he said simply. He was disappointed; he
would just have to get the details from Kenji later.

�Nice to meet you, O-Rin,�
Sango greeted. Rin smiled weakly.

�Kenji, will you excuse me? I
need to use the restroom,� Rin said apologetically.

�Of course.� A pale eyebrow
rose slightly. There was clearly something going on here. Hmm� more puzzles for
him to solve!

�I�ll come with you,� Sango
commented as she linked arms with Rin. One would have thought they were old
friends.
