Arigatou: Thank-you

Note to reader: In this story, every one is older. Kagome, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Sango, Miroku, and etc, are all 17 and 18. Youngest is Kagome, 16, and the oldest is Sesshomaru, 19.

Rin, Shippo are all a year younger than everyone but skipped a grade so now they are in a year above. That's all. Pleas feel free to flame and rate. Oh and tell me WHY you like the story and why you didn't. Enjoy!

Reflections in the Water

Kohaku peered around the corner and slowly stepped out but was knocked to the side by a flash of brown, orange, and green. He shook off an unsteady, dizzy feeling and blinked. Rin grinned above him, breathing heavily as she held herself over him. "I got you." She said triumphantly. She sat up on him and leaned against his knees. "So how'd I do?"

Kohaku blushed a bit noticing the position she'd gone in but ignored it. "You did well. But you need to practice still."

Rin looked at him with doubt and curiosity in her eyes. "Why?" she began but he flipped their positions. Now Rin was on the ground and Kohaku was over her. He chuckled.

"That's why. You never know what could happen if you're in trouble." He answered. He got up off her. "Well, that's all for today then. Sango was right; you really are a good fighter, even though you say this is only for exercise."

Rin smiled sweetly. "Arigatou Kohaku-kun." She said shyly, beginning to bow but he stopped her.

"Please don't bow, I…I-I-I'd rather you don't." He answered in an embarrassed tone. The truth was, when she bent down, her shirt loosened up in the front and he could see the v-shape of her chest area. Not that he was a pervert or anything but it still made him blush and become nervous around those things and he didn't want to turn into one either…a pervert I mean.

Rin starred but smiled. "Well then, I'll see you some other time." She said cheerfully and picked up her book bag, heading for the door. Kohaku perked up suddenly, awakening from his thoughts.

"Wait, Rin!" he yelled quickly. Rin froze and looked at him in bewilderment. "Umm…Sango said that since school starts tomorrow, that you should come over on Fridays after school until 8 and on weekends from 12 to 6."

"Okay then, Thank you again for everything." Rin waved good-bye and left, closing the door behind her. Kohaku let out a sigh and rubbed his left side. "I think she broke my rib cage."

Rin Fumbled with her keys and unlocked the door. She grabbed a note that was on the table and walked to the laundry room. She grabbed the clothes from the dryer and began to fold them. As she did, read the note.

Rin,

I'm going out for the night again. I probably won't be back until past 12 am, so get some sleep. Don't stay up too late watching the history channel or whatever it is you like to watch this late. Anyways, Inuyasha is probably asleep, so don't bother trying to talk to him.

Rin Smiled disdainfully as she stepped into Inuyasha's room, leaving his clothes on his disorganized desk. "Apparently." She muttered and closed the door, approaching Sesshomaru's room. Unlike Inuyasha's, it was more organized. Much more organized.

'There are leftovers as usual from Inuyasha's food experiments if you're feeling brave tonight, or there's some leftover Chinese takeout. Wake up early, tomorrow's school.

Ps-Be warned. The toilet has been possessed ever since Inuyasha had his experiments again and is no longer safe. Nor is the brown, mushy, mushroom pizza in the kitchen.

Rin made a disgusted reeling face as she read the last part and left the room, heading for the bathroom, light headed from not taking in enough air quick enough. She turned on the water o the shower and locked the door. Then, she sighed.

'My towels gone…again…INUYASHA!'

So what did you think for my first chapter. If you're confused about anything, I'll try and fix it in the next chapter.
