Love on Film

 

Rin flipped through the pages of one of the more popular fashion magazines after she had finished sending proofs from her last job to a department store catalog. She stopped at a cologne ad featuring a very handsome model with auburn hair. There was something about the way his teal eyes stared into the camera that sent shivers down her spine; as if he wanted to capture her attention. Kagome, another photographer who has known her since childhood, leaned over her shoulder and looked at the current object of interest. She was also her roommate. There were usually three photographers, but Kohaku, whose sister Sango just happened to be a model currently in New York doing a fashion show, had the day off.

 

“He's quite the looker, isn't he, Rin?”

 

Those words made the photographer look up from the ad. “I'm sorry, Kagome. Did you say something?”

 

Kagome sighed at this. “His name is Shippou. Weird name for a model. He's the most sought-after male model in the world right now. Everyone's dying to work with him. I know he's hot but I never would have thought that you would stare at that ad the way you did. I would call him a male supermodel; he's always busy. It's crazy that he finds room for a social life. I'm surprised you never got a chance to take his pictures. They say he knows to pose without direction. No one knows exactly how he does it, but he seems to know what the photographer wants from him.”

 

Rin pondered this. “I probably will soon. Who knows? I'm not used to staring at a male model who poses for a designer label. But it's something about the way he looks into the camera. It's as if he was trying to draw me in with his eyes. They are quite beautiful though. I wonder what it would be like to be with him.”

 

“Professionally, personally, or both?”

 

“Very funny, Kagome. You know those photographer/model relationships don't work. Look at what happened to Inuyasha and Kikyo. They couldn't do anything without arguing. Now I hear that he's dating Yura and Kikyo is dating some businessman named Naraku Onigumo.”

 

“Inuyasha is dating Yura, the most famous hairstylist in the world?”

 

“That's the one. I heard that she's always wanted to get close to him. Maybe it's the hair. If you ask me, that's kind of weird.”

 

“It could be the reason why Yura is so famous. According to Vogue, all of her styles were inspired by Inuyasha's hair. You know it won't last. It would be the same if Shippou and I ever got together; a bad mix. Famous couples never last anyway.”

 

“You've always said that about every guy you've dated. But you never know. This one would probably work.”

 

“Come on, Kagome. If there's going to be a relationship between Shippou and myself, it will be a professional one. That's all.” Rin then looked at her watch. “Anyway, I gotta run. I have a photo shoot to do. See you later. Don't forget to lock up. I'll meet you back at home.” With that, Rin left the studio.

 

“Later, Rin.” Kagome was now alone with her thoughts. “Like I said, you could end up in a lasting relationship with Shippou. I have a feeling that I could be right.” And with that, she packed up her equipment and headed to her own appointment, but not before locking up the studio.

 

Meanwhile, Rin had just arrived at the location of the photo shoot. She was to take pictures for an upcoming ad for a new men's fragrance that was coming out soon. A tall and beautiful woman dressed in a business suit with waist-length pale platinum blonde hair and amber eyes came to greet the photographer. `Is that really a woman? Damnit, I can't tell.'

 

“You're just in time. My name is Sesshomaru Taisho. I believe you know the model I'm managing, or know of him.” Rin didn't speak at first; she only stared at the woman who turned out to be a man. `She's actually a he? Amazing. He could be a model as well.' Sesshomaru saw this and chuckled.

 

The photographer shook herself out of her trance. “I'm sorry. I mistook you for a woman. I'm Rin Mitsunobu, the photographer hired to do the shoot.”

 

“I'm used to it, so don't worry. I would like you to meet the actual model with whom you will be working, that is if he's ready. He never takes this long though.” And with that, Sesshomaru proceeded to the dressing area, wondering about the slight delay.

 

Meanwhile, Shippou had been staring at the mirror ever since he arrived for the photo shoot, which was about an hour ago. He had been thinking about what color and what length his hair should be for the ad; he decided to keep it short but he kept changing it from platinum blond to jet black, and back to his natural auburn color.

 

Sesshomaru, his agent and manager, found his client changing his hair color. Shippou's hair color stopped at jet black. “It's taking you this long to pick a hair color, Shippou? Hurry up. The photographer is outside waiting for you.”

 

“I know. I caught her scent. So, who is she?”

 

“Her name is Rin Mitsunobu and she's wanted to meet you. I have to say that she is quite beautiful for a human. Now, hurry up and get dressed. You don't want to keep her waiting any longer.”

 

Shippou rolled his eyes in response. “Yes, Sesshomaru-sama. I'll be ready in a few minutes.”

 

A soft growl rumbled from the agent's throat and his eyes started to glow a bright red as he held the model by the neck, his nails lengthening and glowing neon green. Shippou knew that this was bad news and it was becoming more difficult for him to breathe at the moment. “I would watch my tongue if I were you, little kitsune. Sarcasm does not become you. Remember that it was I who made you the hottest male model in the business and I could easily destroy that. We will talk after the shoot. The change in your attitude concerns me as of late.” Sesshomaru released him and returned to meet with Rin.

 

The young model quickly healed the claw marks on his neck and was ready to start the photo shoot. `I don't know how I put up with that jerk; acting all high and mighty as if he were still Lord of the Western Lands. I shouldn't keep the lady waiting.'

 

Rin couldn't help but wonder about Sesshomaru. “Did anyone ever tell you that you could be a model?”

 

“Many have told me that, but I would rather be behind the scenes than pose in front of a camera.”

 

“Oh, I see. Have you ever even thought of it? You are very attractive.”

 

“Not really. But I appreciate the compliment. Here's my business card with my phone numbers in case you wish to work with my client in the future.”

 

“Thank you very much. Here's mine as well as my coworker's.” `Maybe he and Kagome could hook up.' They both exchanged business cards.

 

Sesshomaru noticed that his client was ready to begin the photo shoot. “Ah, it's about time that he was ready. Miss Mitsunobu, meet Shippou. Shippou, this is Rin.” Both bowed in greeting. Shippou started blushing at the sight of the beautiful photographer but forced it down.

 

“It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.” `Shippou looks even better in person. What a killer body. Come on, Rin. You have to focus on your job, not stare googly-eyed at him.'

 

“Please call me Shippou, Miss Mitsunobu.” `She's beautiful. Could she be the one?'

 

“Rin will do just fine. I can't stand formality. So, shall we begin?” And so, they started taking pictures.

 

It seemed as though neither Shippou nor Rin could concentrate on the job. Rin didn't seem to get as many shots as she'd liked. Shippou, on the other hand, wasn't posing as well as he usually does and the passion that usually emanated from his eyes was absent. It was as if he didn't care about his surroundings or that he had a job to do. Rin even had to direct him on how he should pose, which never happens. Sesshomaru had noticed this on the sidelines and frowned at this. Was it that he was nervous? Or was it fatigue? That was impossible for Shippou. The agent knew he had to intervene at this point.

 

“That should be enough for now. Why don't you both take a break and resume in an hour or so? Besides, I have something to discuss with Shippou on a personal level.”

 

“Very well. I was getting hungry anyway. I'll be back in an hour.” And with that, the photographer went out for lunch.

 

While she was out, Sesshomaru had to get a few things off his chest. “What is the matter with you, Shippou? You're not yourself.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“I have not seen you pose well once during the shoot. They have been, shall we say, off-kilter. You even had to be directed on how you should pose. It always comes naturally with you. Something is definitely on your mind and I want to know what it is. Remember, I'll know if you're lying to me.”

 

“It's nothing. I'm just tired and nervous, that's all.”

 

“Liar. Something has been bothering you. What is it?”

 

“Will you leave me alone if I tell you?”

 

“Start talking.”

 

“You haven't answered my question. Will you or not?”

 

Sesshomaru sighed at this. “Very well, just tell me. You are fortunate that I'm in a pleasant mood given the circumstances.”

 

“There has been something that's been on my mind for the past few weeks. It's as if there's something missing in my life. I somehow feel incomplete.”

 

“Go on.”

 

“I've been trying to figure out why and it dawned on me. I realized that I need someone to fill the emptiness in my life.”

 

“But you've gone out with more women than I could count. Don't tell me you haven't found that special one among them.”

 

The model blushed at this and continued. “Those women never cared about my feelings. They were there because of the money and the fame; they were nothing but arm candy. Many of them were beautiful but there wasn't any attraction, or love, just lust.”

 

“I see. You're realizing that you're in need of a mate. Am I right?”

 

“No one can hide anything from you. I shouldn't have to tell you if you already figured it out.”

 

“I had my suspicions about it and you've just confirmed them by telling me. So who is she?”

 

“Since you know so much, why don't you figure it out?”

 

“My, my, aren't we testy on this subject? My guess is that lovely photographer.” Shippou glared at the former Lord, who chuckled. “Judging by your glare, I am correct, am I not?”

 

“There's something about her that I never felt with those past flings. And it isn't lust. It could actually be true love.”

 

“I see. Have you ever considered asking her out? It is worth a try. Who knows? She could be the one. She doesn't have a boyfriend anyway.”

 

“I hope so. But I would have to tell her what I really am, that I'm not human. You might consider looking for a mate yourself.”

 

“All in due time. Our hour is almost up and it's time that our photographer came back from lunch. And do not worry about my personal affairs.”

 

While she was eating lunch at a top restaurant, Rin couldn't help but wonder about Shippou. What was it about him that pulls women in? There was definitely something about him that she couldn't quite put her finger on. If any other model posed in a magazine ad or any other feature, the photographer would just turn the page. Rin could never forget those eyes; those seductive eyes. She had to admit that he was very attractive and that he had a beautiful body, a work of art.

 

`Why do I keep thinking about Shippou? I mean, I just met the guy. Yeah, he's cute, ok, very cute. Hell, who am I kidding? He's really hot. Man, I wonder what it would be like to actually be with him; his arms wrapped around me, those lips kissing mine.' She then shook her head. `Damn, I'm acting like a schoolgirl with a crush on a cute teacher. That's not going to happen. He probably has a girlfriend anyway. But it doesn't hurt to imagine it. I should ask him if he is taken. Who knows? I might have a chance.'

 

Rin had finished her lunch and looked at her watch, realizing it was almost time to go back to the studio to finish the shoot. She asked for the check, left a tip and headed back to work.

 

She had finally reached the studio and found Shippou and Sesshomaru talking. What the topic was she didn't know. When Rin looked at the model, she couldn't help but blush. `Why does my face feel hot all of a sudden? Is it because of him? Come on, Rin. You have to focus on the job. Get as many shots of him as you can. Make sure to make double prints. No, no, no, I have to concentrate.'

 

Sesshomaru caught the photographer's scent and greeted her. “I see that you have returned. I take it that you've enjoyed your lunch.”

 

“I did. Thank you for asking. We can continue whenever you're ready, Shippou.” And so, they resumed the shoot. Rin and Shippou had made more progress. The fire of passion and seduction in Shippou's eyes returned while Rin used even more rolls of film than expected. Neither had noticed that the agent had left. Time passed much quicker before everyone realized that the shoot was over and the photographer shot more rolls of film than usual.

 

“Wow, time really does fly when you're having fun. I actually finished more rolls of film than I thought. I really enjoyed working with you, Shippou. Maybe we can do this again real soon.” `And I mean real soon.'

 

“Wait, Rin.”

 

“What is it?” `Is he going to ask me out? I hope so.'

 

“I was wondering if you had any plans tonight.”

 

“No, I don't have anything to do after this. I'll probably go home and make dinner. Why do you ask?”

 

`I believe that I found the one who will be my mate and you're the one. But I want to get to know you better first.' “Maybe you would like to have dinner with me if that's all right with you.” `Please say yes.'

 

“Sure. I don't see why not.” `Yes! He probably doesn't have a girlfriend after all.'

 

“Perfect. How about 7:30 at the new high-end Italian restaurant that opened a few months ago?”

 

“That sounds good to me. But I have to drop off the film for my assistant to develop first. Then I'll go home and change. Here's my address and phone number. I'll see you then, Shippou.” Rin gave the model her information then left the studio.

 

Shippou drank in her lingering scent, putting it to memory. “See you then, Rin.” He then returned to the dressing room to change. From the moment he entered the dressing to when he changed back to his street clothes, his mind was only on the beautiful photographer. `I should consider myself lucky since she doesn't have a male scent on her. This is my chance to have her for myself.'

 

Rin had just arrived at the apartment to get ready with a smile on her face. Kagome had already finished her photo shoot for a fashion catalog and was relaxing in front of the television when she noticed her roommate closed the door.

 

“So, how'd it go?”

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

“Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. How did the photo shoot go?”

 

“Oh, it went pretty well.”

 

“Pretty well? I'm sure it went more than just pretty well. I can tell by the grin on your face.”

 

“Am I really grinning?”

 

“Yeah, you've got something on your mind, or someone. Come on, tell me about your photo shoot.”

 

“All right, all right. I'll tell you. Remember that model whose pictures were in that magazine I was flipping through?”

 

“I remember it well. And boy, did Shippou look good in those pictures.”

 

“Well, those pictures don't do him justice. He looks much better in person. I was working with him on today's photo shoot. I used more film than I usually do. You're right about him being to able to pose without direction. But at the beginning, I had to tell how I wanted him to pose. It was really weird. All during lunch, I couldn't stop thinking about him.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yep, the shoot went so well that he asked me out to dinner. I wonder what I'm going to wear.”

 

“That is so cool. Where's he taking you?”

 

“That new upscale Italian restaurant that just opened up. I have to get ready by 7:30. I guess I'll wear something elegant.”

 

“Good idea.”

 

And with that, Rin went off to get ready for her date. Meanwhile, Kagome couldn't help but wonder if Shippou's the one for her friend. Could Rin finally find her true love in the hottest male model? Only time will tell.

 

Said photographer had taken a quick shower and decided to wear a nice black evening dress and matching heels. However, she needed Kagome's help with her hair.

 

Rin returned to the living room wearing her dress and her hair still loose. “Kagome, could you do me a favor and braid my hair?”

 

“That's no problem. A French braid would definitely do nicely.”

 

“Arigato. I almost forgot. Shippou has an agent who is just as good looking.”

 

“Are you trying to hook me up?”

 

“If you can call it that, well then, yeah, I AM hooking you up. His name is Sesshomaru.” Rin gave Kagome the business card with Sesshomaru's phone number. “Here's his business card just in case you want to meet him. Kami knows you need a date.”

 

“Are you kidding me? I'm not ready to date yet and you know it.”

 

“Oh, come on, you can't keep sulking over Kouga. It's not his fault he's attracted to redheads or female wolf demons as you put it. I can't get over the fact that you insist that he's a wolf demon.”

 

Kagome became angry at the mention of that name. “Please don't mention that name again. That jerk goes after anything with big breasts and two legs. And I'm telling you he is a wolf demon. He told me himself.” She accidentally pulled on her friend's hair.

 

“Ouch, that hurt, Kagome. I won't mention that name again.”

 

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pull on your hair like that. It's just that jerk makes me so mad.”

 

“Then pull on his hair if you ever see him again. It's long enough. Hell, pull on his girlfriend's hair while you're at it.”

 

“That just might happen. I have another photo shoot tomorrow in which I have to photograph that idiot. He's doing an ad for Issey Miyake with that bitch, Ayame.” `Stupid wolf demons don't know what the hell they want.'

 

“Maybe you can strangle them both after the shoot. I mean, they are working together.” They both laughed at this until they looked at the time. It was 7:15.

 

“Ah, fifteen minutes until your date shows up. Do you have everything?”

 

“Bag, check. Cell phone, check. Money, check. Yep, I have everything.”

 

“Good. Now don't be nervous. I know he's cute, but don't let that affect your ability to speak. It's almost time.”

 

“Hey, I'm the one who's going out with the guy. It's 7:30. Have a good time. Give me all the details.”

 

“I'll try. Don't wait up, Mom.” Kagome giggled at this and Rin left as she noticed a limousine pull up to the apartment building.

 

Rin arrived at the front of her building when a short man dressed in a chauffeur's uniform stepped out of the driver's seat and opened the passenger door. “Good evening, Miss Mitsunobu. I'm Jaken and I will be your driver for tonight.” Shippou then stepped out, dressed in a suit with a dress shirt.

 

“Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you, Jaken.”

 

“Hello, Rin. You look beautiful.” `The word `beautiful' is an understatement.'

 

“Thanks. You look incredible.” `Wow! He looks even hotter in a suit. I wonder what he looks like underneath.'

 

“Well, then, shall we?”

 

“Sure.” The model led the photographer into the limousine and entered. Then they drove off for their destination.

 

As Kagome watched them drive off, an idea came to her. “Maybe Rin's right. I should move on. Sulking isn't going to help me with my problems anyway. I'll give this Sesshomaru a call.” And so, Kagome dialed the agent's home phone number.

 

A deep voice answered. “Hello, Sesshomaru speaking.”

 

“Hello, this is Kagome Higurashi, a photographer who works with Rin Mitsunobu. She gave me your phone number.”

 

There was a tone of concern in his voice. “Did something happen to her?”

 

“Oh, no. She's on a date with your model, Shippou. The reason why I'm calling is that I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight. I'll understand if you're busy.”

 

Sesshomaru sighed with relief. “Actually, I was just finishing up a schedule for another of my models. Now I'm curious. Are you asking me on a date, Miss Higurashi? How do you know that I'm not involved with anyone?” `Higurashi? That name sounds familiar.'

 

Kagome gulped at this statement. “Would you believe that I have a hunch about these things? It usually works pretty well.”

 

“Hmm, no woman has ever asked me out on a date before. Since you are Rin's friend and co-worker, I guess I could go out on a date with you. How about I meet you at your apartment at 8:30?”

 

“That's not a problem. But how do you know where I live?”

 

“Let's just say that I have my ways. Until then, Miss Higurashi.”

 

“Please, call me Kagome.”

 

“Very well then, Kagome. I'll see you then.” Sesshomaru proceeded to get ready for his date. As he changed, he couldn't help but wonder about the other photographer. `The Higurashis are a long line of priests and miko. I wonder if Kagome is a miko herself. She could probably sense that I'm actually a youkai if that's the case. This date should be interesting though. Since I don't have a girlfriend, she could be my mate. However, all in due time.' (This will continue on the next fic I plan on writing after this. Consider it a sequel.)

 

Meanwhile, Rin and Shippou had just arrived at the new upscale Italian restaurant called Giannini's. The host ushered them to a private table. Afterwards, they ordered the appetizer. While they were waiting, Shippou couldn't help but stare at Rin. The photographer started to blush when she felt the model's eyes on her.

 

“So, what made you decide to become a photographer? You look like you could model.”

 

“Thanks for the compliment, but I would rather find photography more interesting than just posing in front of a camera. I've always wanted to be a photographer since I was a little girl and so I went to college majoring in photography. I've often wondered what it was like to see things from a different perspective. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Art was always my passion and photography is a form of art.”

 

“That's interesting. I went to college where I majored in philosophy, fine arts, history, and criminal justice. I don't like to brag, but I graduated summa cum laude in all four. I can practice law if I wanted to.” `I have plenty of time to do so. I'm over 400 years old after all.'

 

Rin's eyes widened with shock. `Guess he's not just a pretty face. He's a nerd underneath.' “But what made you decide to become a model? You should have your own practice.”

 

“I was actually discovered by Sesshomaru a long time ago. He thought that I should model instead of practicing law; that it was more exciting than being at trials. Go figure.”

 

“Wow! If I needed any legal advice, I'd know who to turn to.”

 

Shippou chuckled at this. “I'll keep that in mind.” And so they continued speaking about their likes and dislikes, only pausing when their dinner had arrived. As their conversation drew on, the kitsune couldn't help but think about the young photographer. `I can't believe we have so much in common. Rin could be the one. I've never felt this way with those past flings. She's definitely the one.'

 

It wasn't long before Rin looked at her watch. She didn't realize how much time had passed. “Oh, I didn't realize how late it was. And I have a photo shoot in the morning. I wouldn't want to fall asleep behind the camera.”

 

“Very well. I'll just ask for the check and I can take you home.” Shippou asked for the check, left a substantial tip, and went on their way home. When the limousine reached Rin's apartment, the model decided to escort her to the door.

 

“I had a great time, Shippou. I enjoyed the food and the company. Is there any way that we can do this again?”

 

“Sure, but I would have to check my schedule. Hopefully, next week won't be so busy. How about doing it again tomorrow night?”

 

“That's not a problem. I hope to see you then. Goodnight, Shippou.” The photographer had the sudden urge to kiss the model. And so, she reached up and kissed him. Shippou was surprised at first, but kissed her back, pulling her into his arms. As they were kissing, the model could feel his tail returning and his ears pointing at the tips. Claws were starting to form on his fingers. The kitsune demanded more of her, lust taking over his senses.

 

Jaken was watching the whole scene with shock and fear. He feared for his master. “Oh, no. Shippou-san's starting to turn back to his kitsune form.' And so, he got out of the limousine and headed towards the model.

 

It wasn't long before Shippou realized that he lost control of his masking spell. He pulled away from Rin as he not only sensed Jaken approaching, but he was reverting back to his true form.

 

“What's wrong? You pulled away from me all of a sudden.”

 

“I'm sorry. But I really have to go. I didn't realize the time. Listen, we're still on for tomorrow night, aren't we?”

 

“Sure. I should head back inside. I'll see you then.” Rin turned towards the door while Shippou ran towards the limousine with Jaken behind him. The driver quickly opened the door for the model and then drove off.

 

Rin stood outside her apartment door for a few minutes in confusion. `Why did he rush to leave all of a sudden? Was it my imagination or did I see a fox's tail on Shippou? I must be really tired.' The photographer shook her head free of her thoughts and entered the apartment to find that Kagome was nowhere to be found. She found a note on the living room table:

 

Rin,

 

If you're reading this, I'm out on a date with Sesshomaru. You were right; he is hot. Anyway, I hope your date went well and I'll talk to you later.

 

Kagome

 

 

Rin smiled as she read the note. “Kagome finally took my advice and moved on. I really had fun with Shippou tonight. Oh, well; I'd better get some rest. I have a busy day tomorrow.” The photographer went into her room, undressed and went to sleep.

 

Rin grinned as she re-read the note. It was about time that Kagome got over Kouga. Besides, he was with Ayame now. The photographer had high hopes that her friend would hook up with Shippou's handsome agent.

 

Meanwhile, Shippou completely reverted to his true form in the limousine. Jaken was not too thrilled about the situation. “You know Rin almost saw you for what you really are. What were you thinking, Shippou-san?!”

 

“I don't know. I must have lost control of my concealment spell when I kissed her. Something came over me as I did so. It may have been lust or something else. No woman has ever had that effect on me.”

 

“Well, I won't tell Sesshomaru-sama about what happened. Just don't let it happen again. You nearly gave me a heart attack back there. Besides, you have another photo shoot tomorrow and you'll need your rest.” `Rin-san could very well be the one Shippou's been searching for. That has never happened with any other woman he's been with, according to Sesshomaru-sama.'

 

They finally reached home. “I was looking forward to a day off. I guess that's not going to happen. Anyway, goodnight, Jaken and thanks for not telling Sesshomaru about tonight.”

 

“Goodnight, Shippou-san and never scare me like that again.” With that, Jaken stopped before retreating to his quarters. “Oh, I just remembered to ask you one question before I retire, do you believe miss Mitsunobu is The One?”

 

“I feel that she is, Jaken. Everything in my heart is telling me this. Even though I almost came close to revealing my true form, I will have to tell her what I really am someday.”

 

“That may be true. It is too soon to tell her now. Give it more time. Goodnight again, Shippou-san.”

 

Shippou went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. On his way to his bedroom, he noticed a note on the dining room table. The model picked it up and read its message.

 

Shippou,

 

By the time you read this note, I will have been on a date with Kagome Higurashi, who just happens to be Rin's roommate. Remember that you are scheduled for another photo shoot tomorrow at Tokyo Tower; this time, it's for an Armani Exchange ad. Get some rest. And tell me about your date.

 

Sesshomaru

 

He had to admit that she felt something different when he was with Rin, like she was the one he was looking for, that she was his soul mate. “Well, there's no time to think about that right now. Time to go to sleep.” And so, Shippou changed into a pair of pajama pants and climbed into bed. It wasn't long before sleep claimed him.

 

The sound of an alarm clock heralded the start of the morning for Rin. She groaned in disappointment. “Great, I was in the middle of a good dream. Damnit.” The photographer shut the alarm off and woke up. She showered and got dressed. Rin remembered that she had to pick up the proofs for her last photo shoot from her assistant photographer, Kohaku. And so, she gathered her equipment and left.

 

“Kuso. I don't know how I'm going to get these proofs to the ad agency. Screw it. I'll get

him to deliver the proofs instead.” She dialed the studio in order to contact him. The phone rang several times before someone picked up the phone.

 

“Hello, Mitsurashi Photography Studio. This is Kohaku; how can I help you?” Mitsurashi was a combination of Kagome's and Rin's last names.

 

“Hi, Kohaku. It's Rin. Are you busy?”

 

“No, I'm not scheduled for anything at the moment. What do you want me to do?”

 

“Do you remember those proofs that I asked you to develop?”

 

“What about them?”

 

“I want you to deliver them to the advertising agency right away. I would come and get them myself, but I have to be at another photo shoot today. Can you do that for me?”

 

“You're lucky that I'm not busy with anything. I'll bring those proofs over to the advertisers, on one condition.”

 

“What is that condition?”

 

“I get the next job that comes in. The both of you can't get all of them. It really sucks not doing anything, you know.”

 

“All right, all right. Gee, you're a rare one. People would kill to be paid for sitting around, waiting for work to come in, but you actually want to work.”

 

“Hey, you weren't the one who had a day off yesterday. Come on, I'm dying to work. I'm not like my sister. I knew I should have gone with her to New York. At least I'd get to do something besides lying around.”

 

“I got the message. Thanks. I'll see you at the studio later.” `Now where is the shoot going to be this time? If memory serves correctly, it was at Tokyo Tower.' Tokyo Tower would be open to tourists, but was closed due to the photo shoot.

 

“Anytime, Rin. We'll talk when you're done with the shoot.”

 

Rin arrived at the photo shoot ten minutes late. To her relief, no one else had arrived at the location yet. This gave a little bit of time for her to set up and wait for the others who would be involved in the shoot. Twenty minutes had passed before anyone else had arrived, specifically Shippou, Sesshomaru, a woman with short dark hair and crimson red eyes, and two other people in charge of the wardrobe being used for the ad. It turned out that the featured model for the ad was none other than the kitsune. Shippou saw the photographer, smiled and hurried to his dressing area.

 

Sesshomaru saw Rin and smiled. “My, my, what a small world we live in. It's a pleasure to work with you again, Rin. This is Kagura Raigeki from the advertising agency. She will be the one who will be responsible for the ad campaign.”

 

“It's nice to meet you, Kagura.”

 

“It's an honor to meet you, Rin. Sesshomaru had told me you all about your work.”

 

“News travels fast, doesn't it?” Kagura chuckled at this.

 

“You could say that.”

 

“Your last name is Raigeki, isn't it? Do you happen to be related to the Raigekis of the Raigeki Laboratories?”

 

“Why yes; Hiten happens to be my husband. He oversees the administrative operations while his brother Manten oversees research and development.”

 

“I see.”

 

“Well now, whenever Shippou is ready, we'll get started.”

 

Meanwhile, Shippou and the wardrobe people were completing the finishing touches of the Armani suit. Some of them couldn't help but stare at him. “So, how many outfits will we use for the shoot?”

 

“It depends on how many they want, sir. It could be one, a couple, or several different suits.”

 

“I see. And please, don't call me `sir'. `Shippou' would do just fine.”

 

“All right… Shippou.”

 

“Much better. Now, let's get this photo shoot started, shall we?” Shippou was now ready for the shoot. As he exited the dressing area, Rin couldn't help but notice him in the suit. Shippou looked as exquisite as he did last night on their date. `Sesshomaru's right. This IS a small world. I wish every photo shoot would be like this. Anyway, I need to get started.'

 

A blush crept on Rin's face. She had to turn away to keep everyone else from noticing. However, Sesshomaru noticed this and smiled to himself. `They must have enjoyed that date. I'll have to ask about it later.'

 

“Is something wrong, Rin? You're blushing madly.”

 

It was difficult for Rin to speak. “Um, I-I was just thinking about something, someone, oh, well, I mean…. I was just thinking.”

 

“It's all right if you don't tell me. However, I assume you're thinking about Shippou.” The photographer blushed even more at the mention of the model's name. “I believe that I'm correct in that assumption, judging by the shade of red on your face.”

 

“Um, why don't we get started with the shoot? I think Shippou's ready.” She tried to pretend that she was getting her equipment ready, knowing that she had done so earlier in the day.

 

“I apologize if I've embarrassed you.” Sesshomaru then sauntered away to speak with Kagura. Rin sat and waited for Shippou to finish getting ready. `Ok, whenever you're ready. The longer you take, the better chance of your agent grilling me with more questions about you and our date.'

 

“Wait.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Speaking of dates, how did yours go with Kagome?”

 

“Now, now, Rin. How can I possibly tell you about my date if you don't tell me anything about yours?”

 

“All right, all right. I'll tell you. Shippou and I went to this fancy Italian restaurant called Giannini's, had a lovely dinner, told each other a little about ourselves, and kissed each other goodnight. We're supposed to go out again tonight. All in all, that was it. Now that I told you about our date, I think it's time to tell me all about yours.”

 

“Hmm, perhaps you're right.” Sesshomaru walked up to Rin, making her believe that he would tell her about their date. “But after the shoot.” Rin sighed with frustration. “Did anyone ever tell you that you're impossible sometimes?”

 

“As a matter of fact, Shippou has told me that many times. Ah, I almost forgot about the man of the hour.”

 

Shippou had been standing for quite some time, waiting to start the shoot. “Um, I don't mean to interrupt, but can we get started with the shoot? You can continue your conversation afterwards if it's that important.”

 

“Actually, our conversation is over. Let's not keep our model waiting any longer.” Shippou growled in irritation at that last comment. Rin's ears picked up on this and was a bit surprised. `Did he just growl like an animal?' She sighed at this and started to take pictures.

 

While Rin was on her second roll of film, the head wardrobe person who dressed him noticed that there weren't any makeup artists around. `Well, I guess he doesn't need any makeup. Kami, his skin is flawless. I wonder what his secret is.'

 

Sesshomaru watched intently as Shippou continued to pose in front of Rin's camera. Two hours had passed when the shoot was over. Rin sighed with relief at this. “Oh, man, I lost count on how many rolls were used. I don't think I'll be able to use my hands for a while.”

 

“I believe that will be all. I've never seen him with such passion in his eyes. Maybe it's because of a certain beautiful photographer. I should have you work together more often.” Rin blushed at this and giggled nervously. “Ah, I see by the blush on your face that you agree.”

 

“Thanks for the embarrassing comment, Sesshomaru. Is he ready yet?” The photographer started to pace back and forth until Shippou emerged wearing his regular clothes. He cocked, wondering what was going on between Rin and his agent.

 

“OK, what did he do while I was getting dressed?”

 

“Nothing, we were just talking.”

 

“I see. Uh, Sesshomaru, can I talk to you for a moment alone? Excuse me for a moment, Rin.” The kitsune dragged Sesshomaru by the arm to the dressing room. The former taiyoukai was surprised at this, but hid it from the photographer.

 

“Sure, no problem.”

 

When they entered the dressing room, Shippou released his agent's arm, who was not too pleased at this. “What is the meaning of you handling me in such a manner? Have you forgotten who I am?”

 

“It's not like you're a fragile human, though you look like one now. I wouldn't have done this if it was so important.”

 

“Then what is it? Do not test my patience.”

 

“It's about telling Rin the truth about what I really am. I plan on telling her tonight.”

 

“Are you mad? It's too soon. Have you any idea what may happen if you do? If an extremely nosy fashion reporter were to be within the vicinity, there's no telling what may happen to your career. This may be on the front cover of every newspaper in the country, maybe the world. You don't want to draw too much attention to yourself and me.”

 

“I'm willing to risk it. But the truth is bound to come out sooner or later. It would be best if I told her. Besides, I'm plan on making her my mate and you have your methods of silencing the reporters.”

 

“I strongly believe it's too dangerous. You should wait a little longer. The both have just met a few days ago.”

 

“No, I have to tell her. I assure you that it will be told somewhere private.”

 

Sesshomaru sighed at this. “All right, I'll see what I can do to keep this from turning this into a fiasco.”

 

“Wait, there's something I have to tell you. On my date, I almost lost control and nearly reverted to my true form. That's another reason why I'm going to tell her. Rin might get suspicious and my lust could take over again.”

 

A growl of frustration escaped the agent's throat. “Unbelievable. I feel like I'm taking care of a kit once again. Have I taught you anything about controlling your lust for a female?! You should know better than that!”

 

“Do you realize you're causing a scene? Anyone can just walk by and hear you.”

 

“Don't get smart with me, boy. You're a grown demon. I may be your agent now, but I don't have the time to lecture about this.”

 

“I'm not going to argue about this. Besides, I have another date with Kagome tonight.”

 

Kagura overheard the conversation between Shippou and Sesshomaru and shook her head with frustration. She decided to march up them and give them a piece of her mind, better yet hit them both with the fan she kept hidden in her purse.

 

“Excuse me, but do you two mind if I say something?” The model and his agent turned to see a very angry Kagura and feel growing lumps on their heads. “Do you realize that you can reveal our biggest secret with your conversation? You should drop it while you can. Perhaps you forget that the tabloids are itching to get whatever crazy story they can come up with and I don't want anyone to find out about us. I should let you know that my husband has one of the worst tempers around.”

 

“How could I forget? He nearly hit me with his Raigekijin once because I once pulled his sister Souten's shirt over her head. Anyway, how is she doing?”

 

“She's doing very well. She's expecting her first child as she is mated to that wolf demon Ginta. You ought to call her and see how she's doing yourself when you're not busy.”

 

“I'm sure I still have her number. I'll call her as soon as I can.”

 

“Until next time, boys. Remember the wind hears everything.” And with that, Kagura left Tokyo Tower.

 

Rin looked down at her watch and fidgeted. “What the hell is taking them so long? I wonder what they're doing. My stuff is packed and I'm ready to go. And they say women take long to get ready.” And so, the photographer proceeded to Shippou's dressing area. On her way, Sesshomaru noticed her.

 

“Ah, Miss Mitsunobu, I see you're all ready to go.”

 

“Yeah, I was kind of worried so I wanted to see what was taking so long. Is Shippou all right? You didn't do anything to him, did you?”

 

“Why of course not, my dear. I would never try to harm your boyfriend.”

 

Rin blushed at this. “Um, I don't think he's my boyfriend.” `I wish he was though.'

 

“I believe he will be soon. You two seem to get closer with every encounter. You do have a date with him, do you not?”

 

“How did you know I had a date with him tonight anyway?”

 

“Let's say I have a way of knowing things like this. Enjoy yourself tonight, Miss Mitsunobu.”

 

“Please call me Rin. If there's anything that I hate and that's formalities.”

 

“Very well, Rin.” The agent noticed Shippou in his regular clothes. “Ah, I see Shippou's finally ready. I shall return home and set up another job for my client.” And with that, Sesshomaru left the model and the photographer alone.

 

“I'm sorry I took so long, Rin. Sesshomaru and I were discussing something private. Ready to go?”

 

“Um, sure, my stuff is already packed. I should stop and drop my equipment off at the studio. Do you mind?”

 

“Not at all. I'll go with you if you'd like.”

 

“Are you sure? I have to warn you, it's not a stretch limo.”

 

“I insist. Besides, you're going to need some help loading your equipment into your car and I don't want to look like the spoiled model type.”

 

“All right, you win. It isn't much equipment and I may as well show you where I work.” Little did the photographer know that she was in heat.

 

Shippou sensed the change in Rin's scent. His instincts were starting to surface. `No, not now. I can't lose control. If I don't do something now, I'll end up showing her my true form. Then, someone else might get wind of it.' He started sweating and clenching and unclenching his fists.

 

Rin noticed this and was worried. “Is something wrong, Shippou?”

 

“No, nothing's wrong. The shoot wore me out and I'm really tired. Would it be all right if I rested at your place?”

 

“Um, sure. I don't see why not. Come on, let's go. You don't look too well. Don't about the equipment; I'll just put it in the car.”

“Thank you.”

 

“It's ok, really.” And so, the photographer helped the kitsune model towards the elevator. She propped him against the wall and grabbed the equipment, placing it near him. Rin looked at his face again and was concerned. “Are you sure you're ok? You look you're getting sick.”

 

“It's nothing. Don't worry about me.” `Who am I kidding? Of course, I'm not all right. I wish she would hurry up already. I don't know how long I can last with her scent.' He knew that he was in danger of losing control of his spell. Unwittingly, a growl rumbled from the kitsune's throat and his eyes started to glow a pale green. The photographer turned to face the model for a brief second. She could have sworn that she heard Shippou growling, but she shrugged it off and took her equipment to the main level and put it in her car. Rin then returned to help Shippou to her car.

 

“I'm sorry, but you're going to have to lie down in the back, just in case people see you. It's a lot better for you too.” Shippou nodded in response and stretched his body on the backseat. The kitsune fell asleep rather quickly. Rin started her car and headed home.

 

When they arrived at the apartment, Rin found Kagome watching TV in the living room. “Kagome, I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you had a shoot.”

 

“Nope, I decided to give Kohaku that one. You should have seen the look on his face. He acted like an excited little kid when I told him. Wow, is that Shippou, the hot model you're dating? My god, he's even hotter in person.”

 

“Yeah, the tired redhead with an arm around my shoulders is Shippou.” The model stirred at the mention of his name. He awoke to find himself in the photographer's apartment and caught the scent of another female. “Oh, um, Shippou, this is Kagome Higurashi, my friend, roommate and co-owner of Mitsurashi Photography Studios.”

 

“Higurashi. That name sounds familiar. Are you the same Kagome that's dating my agent Sesshomaru Taisho?”

 

“You're looking at her. So, are you two going out on another date tonight?”

 

“Well, after I get some rest. The photo shoot wore me out.” `It's not the photo shoot. It's your roommate's scent that's driving me insane. I have to have her right now.'

 

“I see; as long as you're okay. Um, I'll head upstairs. Besides, I have to get ready for my date with Sesshomaru.”

 

“Could you excuse us, Shippou? I'd like to talk to Kagome for a few minutes. You can rest on the couch.” With that, Rin dragged Kagome to her bedroom while Shippou tried to get comfortable on the couch. However, he fought desperately to keep control of his disguise and force his lust down for now.

 

“So, how did your first date go with Sesshomaru?”

 

“It went pretty well. I have to say, he's just as hot as Shippou. I thought he was a woman at first. He's really nice and a little protective of his model. I don't see why he doesn't model himself. I also got to meet Inuyasha, who happened to be his brother. They happened to have a family dojo on the side. I can actually find a place to work out if I want.” Kagome was almost ready for her date.

 

“That's interesting. He threw me for a loop too, when I first saw him. I said the same thing to him. But he says he prefers to do things from behind the scenes. So, Inuyasha is his brother. They're both good-looking.”

 

“I have to thank you for setting me up with him. I completely forgot about a certain someone. But there's something about him that's been bugging me; like he's hiding something. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably a demon in disguise.”

 

“You may be right. There was something about him that I couldn't put my finger on.”

 

“A miko's senses are hardly ever wrong.”

 

Shippou gasped in shock as he overheard their conversation with his sharp hearing. “This Kagome could probably tell that I'm a demon as well. I hope she doesn't tell Rin. But Rin has her own suspicions.” He started to feel weak and collapsed.

 

Both Kagome and Rin heard a loud thump coming from the living room and ran to find the model on the floor. “Oh, no, we've got to get Shippou onto the couch. Damn, he's heavy.”

 

When they finally put him back on the couch, Kagome heard a car pull up to the front of the apartment. She gasped. “That's probably Sesshomaru. I gotta go. I'll see you later, Rin.” Kagome then ran out the door.

 

Rin waved goodbye and focused her attention on Shippou. “Well, I guess we're eating in tonight. You really don't look well. I'll fix you something light to eat.”

 

“Despite how I look, I'm fine. Just stay with me right here.” The photographer noticed how intent his look was. It was as if he was entranced by her face. Shippou slowly rose from the couch, like a predator stalking its prey. Rin slowly backed away from him.

 

“Shippou, what are you doing? You should go back to the couch and rest.”

 

“I already told you I'm fine. Now, come to me, Rin. You know you can't resist. Don't be afraid.” The kitsune drew even closer. Rin stopped moving away and stared at his eyes.

 

`It's just like the time I stared at that magazine ad back at the studio. This time it's not his picture. It's the real deal.' The photographer started moving towards him, drawn to those teal eyes. When she reached him, Shippou trailed one hand up her arm. The photographer shuddered at this. His hand continued slowly up her neck until it gently cupped her chin.

 

It took some effort for Rin to shake herself out of her trance and pull away from the kitsune. “What the hell are you?”

 

“You'll know in time.” Shippou looked deep into her eyes. His purring voice was like music to Rin's ears. “I've wanted you for so long, Rin. I knew you were the one the first time I laid eyes on you. Tonight, you will be mine.”

 

The photographer started to go weak in the knees. She would have collapsed if the kitsune had not caught her and lifted her into his arms.

 

Rin felt like she was in a drunken stupor staring into those seductive teal eyes. “Oh, kami.” She moved closer to kiss him. Shippou moved into the kiss. After a few moments, he pulled away from her, licking his lips seductively.

 

“Mmm, delicious.”

 

“Um, my bedroom is this way.” `Rin, what are you doing, directing this hot guy to your bedroom? To hell with it, I want him, badly.' The kitsune looked in the direction that the photographer was pointing and proceeded to Rin's bedroom. When they reached the room, Shippou laid her on the bed. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, never taking his eyes off his soon-to be mate.

 

Rin was entranced all the while, her breath starting to quicken. `Looks like I get to see what's underneath those clothes. I'm glad the light was on.' Shippou removed his shirt to reveal a broad chest and powerful arms. His abs were well-defined, a work of art in the photographer's eyes. He then removed his pants and underwear, revealing well-developed legs.

 

Rin tried to look away, but the kitsune's purring voice stopped her. “Look at me, Rin. This is what you want, isn't it?” She gasped at his words. `It's as if he read my mind. This isn't happening. I'm going to wake up tomorrow and I'll be in my room by myself as if nothing happened.'

 

He slowly made his way to the bed, but not before he turned off the light. `He didn't have to turn off the light. Great, just great.' Soon, he was on his hands and knees, hovering above her. The kitsune model wrapped his arms around the photographer, kissing her hungrily. Rin wrapped her arms around his neck, returning his kiss. Shippou moved one hand up Rin's body until it reached one of her breasts. He gently squeezed it, feeling its firmness.

 

He then pulled away and removed her shirt and her bra which was clasped in the front, nodding in approval.

 

Rin softly moaned at his touch. She ran her hands down the model's neck and across his broad shoulders, eliciting a growl from him. `Wait, did he just growl? Normal human beings don't growl like animals, do they? Damn, I feel dizzy.'

 

“Yes, submit to me. Give in to your desires. Soon, you will be mine.” Shippou bent down once more and kissed the side of her neck while the photographer continued to move her hands down his arms, feeling hard muscle underneath smooth skin.

 

The kitsune trailed kisses down her neck, towards the middle of her chest. He then started to lick around one of her nipples while caressing the other breast. Rin gave a little cry of pleasure, her hands fisting in the sheets. She wasn't aware that Shippou was about to remove her jeans.

 

He slowly unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them off. He slipped his other hand between her legs. By that time, he had already switched his attention to Rin's other breast.

 

The photographer lifted her head, wondering what Shippou was doing. She didn't know how much more pleasure her body can take. He rubbed his thumb at her center while two of his fingers entered her. Rin gasped in response and laid her head back down. She turned her head to the side and closed her eyes, her breath coming out in gasps and pants. Rin unconsciously started to move her hips in response.

 

The kitsune intentionally had his hand linger between her legs, dragging out her pleasure. He lifted his head from Rin's breast and moved to lick the side of her neck. She wrapped an arm around his neck once more as he started to nibble at her neck. `Great, now he's necking me with his hand in my most private area. I don't know if I can take any more of this.'

 

A few moments later, she climaxed, screaming out her pleasure. Shippou paused at his nibbling to remove his hand from where it was. He pulled away from Rin's neck to seductively lick his hand clean. The kitsune and the photographer stared into each other's eyes. “So beautiful.” He moved down her body, trailing kisses down her toned stomach. Rin cried out when Shippou gave a tentative lick at her center. The kitsune caressed her legs, adding to her pleasure. She moved her hips to the movement of his tongue as it moved a little faster. It wasn't long before she climaxed.

 

Shippou decided it was time to lift his spell. He knew he couldn't hold onto his disguise any longer as his lust for the photographer began to resurface. He started growling and his eyes started to glow softly. His nails grew into claws. The tips of Shippou's ears became pointed and his canines became longer and sharper. An orange tail grew from his lower back. She gasped in shock as she could make out an outline of the model's true form.

 

“Oh, my god.” Rin rubbed her eyes and did a double take. She couldn't believe what she was trying to make out in the darkness; Shippou wasn't human. She sat up and took a closer look. The kitsune, with his better sight, stared intently at the photographer as she started to move her hands up his powerful arms, broad shoulders. Shippou shuddered at her touch and growled with pleasure.

 

“More, I want more from you, my dear Rin. Touch me. Submit to me.” He continued to speak in that seductive purring voice, but this time, it was laced with a lustful tone. Rin traced her fingers down his broad chest and well-defined abs. She was careful not to touch his manhood and caressed his powerful thighs.

 

A thought came to her. What would happen if she touched his tail? And so, Rin reached around and touched his tail with his fingertips. She never expected a reaction such as the one she got from Shippou. The kitsune grabbed her arms and looked as if he was going to tear her apart. He growled with lust at her. The photographer became frightened and the kitsune picked up on it. A smirk formed on his lips as he came up with another idea of enticement.

 

“You've been a bad girl, Rin. No one's ever touched my tail like you just did. Do you know how I punish bad girls such as yourself?” Rin silently shook her head. “Well, I'll show you.”

 

And so, Shippou started to touch her most sensitive areas with the tips of his claws, very slowly. Fortunately, he knew the erogenous zones of a woman's body as he had many partners. Rin felt like her body was on fire. She couldn't utter anything; no sound could escape her lips until what felt like an eternity, which happened to be just a few moments.

 

“Please.”

 

“Please what, my dear?” The kitsune trailed one hand between her legs once more. Rin gritted her teeth at this while grabbing onto his shoulders.

 

“Please, Shippou, I can't take it anymore. Make love to me.”

 

“Only if you admit that you're mine. You belong only to me.” Shippou pulled her body close, nibbling at her neck.

 

“Anything you want.”

 

“Say it.” Rin was lost with pleasure. Her response was a cry.

 

“Say that you're mine.” A caress across her center.

 

“I'm yours, Shippou. I belong to you.”

 

“Very well.” And with that, the kitsune laid Rin back on the bed and entered her with one thrust, breaking her hymen. Rin cried out in pain, but it was cut short by a deep kiss. He slightly pulled out and entered her again, building up a rhythm. The kitsune held onto her hips, growling and grunting as he continued to thrust, quickening his pace.

 

Rin, on the other hand, tightened her grip on the kitsune's broad shoulders and wrapped her long legs around his narrow hips. Her breathing came out in gasps and pants. Shippou kept nibbling at her neck, quickening his pace even more and holding her body tighter. His growls and grunts became louder.

 

`I can't believe this is happening to me. I'm in my room with the hottest male model around and he turns out to be some kind of demon. I thought they only existed in legends. I guess they are real after all. If this is a dream, I sure as hell don't want to wake up.'

 

A few moments later, they both climaxed, crying out their pleasure. The kitsune pulled out of her. Suddenly, Rin felt a sharp pain on her neck as Shippou bit her, claiming her as his mate. He then licked the blood off the wound, which would eventually become a scar.

 

The photographer had no idea what time it was, nor did she care. Shippou, still holding Rin, rolled on to his side, so that his weight wouldn't crush his new mate. He started to purr once more, lulling the photographer to sleep. The kitsune released her from his embrace and went to get his cell phone. He dialed his agent's number.

 

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru and Kagome were out on the town when his phone started ringing. “Excuse me, Kagome. I have to take this call.” The agent then answered the phone. “Yes? What is it?”

 

“Well, I'm just calling to tell you that I did what I set out to do.”

 

“Whatever are you talking about?”

 

“Let's just say the emptiness that I've felt for too long has been filled.”

 

“Really? I see there are congratulations in order, Shippou. So, now she knows. However, you do have another shoot in a few days so, enjoy your time until then. You'll be leaving for Paris. I already booked a few tickets. Be ready then, and give me all the details.”

 

“Very well. If it's possible, I'd like to take Rin with me. I couldn't possibly leave her behind.”

 

“I understand. I plan on taking a certain friend there as well. Make sure you're both ready by then. Goodnight.”

 

“Goodnight, Sesshomaru and enjoy your date.” He hung up the phone and returned to his new mate, caressing her face. “Yes, we definitely will be ready.”

 

Rin slightly opened her eyes. “So, the hottest model around happens to be a demon. Go figure. And by the way, you have a very cute fox tail, Shippou.”

 

Shippou gasped at this and chuckled. “Thanks for the compliment. We can talk tomorrow. Goodnight, dear Rin.” He held her in his arms once more.

 

“Goodnight, Shippou, my cute little seductive kitsune. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.” And with that, they both went to sleep.

 

End

 

Wow, I'm finally finished with this story. Sorry it took so long, but writer's block kept popping in and out. I know it's pretty long, but I like to put plot into the stuff I write. Anyway, I'm on to write the 2nd half of this tale. So I hope you enjoy this one. And remember, if there's a pairing you don't like, don't read the story as I stand by the first one I wrote. Later. ^_^
