1Intrepid
Chapter One: What Friends are for
We are all intrepid. In birth we are screaming and crying while everyone smiles. In
death you are smiling while everyone around you cris and screams for you not to leave.
Rin put down the pencil and smiled at the opening of her essay for her advanced English
class.
Of course, what was the point in writing it? As soon as her prestigious school found out
she was pregnant she would be asked to leave.
It is school policy that they don't want to promote pregnancy in highschool, especially at
the Shikon no Tama Highschool.
She needed a walk to de-stress herself.

As she walked down the sidewalk she considered the options of where to go. Her feet
finally took her to the local dinner that was near her apartment and school.
As she opened the door Rin smiled to see all her friends crammed into one booth. But is
was missing a person, someone she really needed to talk to.
"Rin!" Kagome got up and fiercely hugged her friend.
Rin looked at Inuyasha as she sat down in the booth with all her friends. His eyes
seemed to sparkle with anger.
"Where has he been lately?" she asked him, but her question went unasnwered.
"That bastard!" Inuyasha said rather loudly causing most of the people to turn their heads
towards him. It also earned him a light punch and glare from Sango who firmly didn't
believe in foul language. But this didn't stop Inuyasha at all. "He knocked you up and
left you! And he thinks I'm the stupid one in the family."
Rin's lips trembled, had he really left her? What had happened?
"What dog breath is trying to do in his own idiotic way is to try and cheer you up,"
Kouga said as he gave her a sympathetic smile.
"What we should do is go beat him up and knock some sense into him. He doesn't stand
a chance against Miroku, Kouga, Hobo, and I."
"Hojo," Hojo said.
"Whatever," Inuyasha snorted, "but if we all gang up on him…"
"Inuyasha," Hojo said looking squeamish, "I don't fight. It's not good to lower oneself to
the other person's level."
The girls nodded in agreement.
"Rin, whatever you want us to do we'll do it," Sango said.
"Just say the word and we'll kill him," Miroku said as he and Inuyasha cracked their
knuckles.
"Not you too!" Sango said, "I thought we all agreed not to fight him!"
"Actually a fight seems like a geed stress reliever tonight. I can't stand what he's done to
Rin," Kouga said as he got up, "We'll take my car," Kouga got out his keys and Inuyasha
and Miroku followed him out the door.
Rin was left with Sango, Kagome, Ayame, and Hojo. And they were all staring at her to
see what reaction she would have.
This was so unlike the group of friends she was used to. They were usually all talking at
once and bickering about one thing or another.
And now they were all silent and staring at her.
"Guys, I'm fine. If Sesshomaru," his name brought a lump to her throat, " doesn't want
me and our child, I can survive. I did survive the death of my family all on my own,
didn't I?" Rin said matter -of-factly even thought she knew life would be lonely without
him in it.
"You know what guys, we all need some cheering up," Ayame said happily, "Pizza,
facials, and manicures at my house!"
All the girls gave a cheer and got up, ready to go.
"Uh guys," Hojo said weekly, "I'm not sure I want a manicure."
Everyone cracked up. Rin felt her spirits rising. She could always count on her friends
and their wacky ways to make her feel ten times better.
Little did Rin know that hidden in a corner booth, far away from other people, was a pair
of amber eyes that watched every movement she maid.
Hey guys, you know what to do. Hit the button that says review. Love ya!
