"He's terrifying, Rin! A-a complete monster!" One of her co-workers explained in a shaky voice as a sweat bead dripped down her forehead.

Rin simply shook her head. "I'm not concerned with that. I have a job to do and clearly he needs someone to talk to him." She flipped her long black hair off her shoulder onto her back and continued down the hallway. "I appreciate the warning, nonetheless. See you later." She said with her bright smile, the one she always wore.

Rin's clicking heels echoed through the lifeless hall as one of the lights above her head flickered and the buzzing followed her steps. She slowly opened the door and stood before the white haired, amber eyed man sitting on a bed dressed in white. He glared at her coldly, challenging her with the look in his eyes.

Rin stood firm and shut the door behind her. She slowly walked towards him, the slow clicking of her heels, humming through his ears and agitating him. He was prompted to bear his claws at her when the smile on her face caught him off guard.

"Hi, Sesshomaru, my name is Rin."

"I don't remember asking you." He replied quickly as he lied in his bed and turned away from her.

"I-I know you've had a difficult time with the other specialists here, but I'm not like them."

"Mind your business. Talking to you is a waste of time."

Rin sighed and sat in the wooden chair by his bed. He turned as he heard the creaking sound of her settling herself.

"I told you I don't want to talk to you." He said with a growl, sounding more furious than before. His eyes reddened as he advanced close to her.

Rin sat in the chair with a blank face, unmoved by the threat. "I'm not afraid of you."

"I don't want you to be afraid."

Rin raised an eyebrow at him. 'Am I getting somewhere already?' She thought. "W-What?"

He gave her an icy cold stare and opened his mouth, exposing his fangs. "I want you to be terrified."

Rin began to get nervous. She was starting to understand why everyone gave up on him. He was an ice cold, emotionless serial killer who only wanted to strike fear into people's hearts and make them his prey. Even though her nerves tightened up, she stayed focused on her job. She was intent on helping him.

"I'm not terrified, either. Why do you want me to be so afraid? Does it satisfy you?"

Sesshomaru licked his lips and got intensely close to Rin's face. "The scent of blood—your blood, spiked with fear and misery staining my hands would make my life complete."

Rin felt a strange tension between the two, as if he was using his demonic powers to draw her in—or even seducing her. She backed away slightly and twirled her hair around her fingers. She wanted to understand him better, but he was making it difficult.

"What is it about my blood that makes you feel that way?"

Sesshomaru's glare became even deeper with seething hatred and displeasure. He backed away slightly and turned away. "You really should leave."

"Why? You don't want to attack me…do you?"

"Get. Out. Or I will attack you."

Rin promised herself she wouldn't be afraid. She had a needle full of potent morphine that would even take a strong demon like him out in her pocket. It gave her the courage to do the unthinkable, the stupid and the most dangerous thing.

She stood up and placed her hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder.

He immediately stiffened at her touch and flipped her onto his bed. Rin gasped as she was flung from the air onto the firm spring mattress.

He hovered over her and glared into her eyes. At this moment, Rin was afraid. She gulped and breathed deeply. Being underneath a killer was more horrifying than being in the room with him. She tried to take her focus off his eyes and stare at anything—the door, the white walls, even the ceiling, but her eyes were stuck where they were. He captured her focus.

After moments of getting acquainted with the cold, heartless amber, her fears began to subside. 'He's not going to kill me.' She was convinced.

For a moment, it seemed like that evil look in his eyes began to soften. He loosened his grip on her arms, allowing her to get up. Rin quickly moved off the bed as he stared at her.

She was surprised. 'What just happened?' She thought to herself as she rubbed her aching wrists. She wore two bruises on them like bracelets, but she wasn't angry that he hurt her. She was surprised that an evil, cold-blooded killer displayed such strange actions.

"Why did you let me go? I thought you wanted to kill me."

"I did. But I changed my mind. Now leave. I don't appreciate you humans constantly trying to figure me out."

Rin sighed sadly, picked up her book and went towards the door. As her hand touched the cold knob, she could feel his eyes piercing the back of her neck. She turned to look at him and gave him the smile again.

Her radiant smile shattered his cold, icy soul and broke him down. Sesshomaru considered her a threat. He told himself to kill her the first time she shot him that smile. He did everything he could to chase her away, but she stayed by his side. 'What is it with this girl?' He wondered to himself.

After staring at one another for what seemed like an eternity, Rin began to let herself out. "See you tomorrow!" She said sweetly as she shut the door behind her.

He heard the sound of her clicking heels slowly fade down the hallway and finally felt at ease. His enjoyment of the sight of blood and the fear in his opponent's eyes returned. The evil that he always was had strengthened once again the second Rin left the room.
