Chapter notes: I don't own InuYasha. I don't own Sesshomaru either. -sobs- Stop rubbing it in my face!

It was that time of the year. Not only was it winter, but it was time to go to a brand new school.

Sesshomaru was 5, and he had long silky hair that seemed as silver as moonlight. Streaks of magenta were painted on his cheeks, and as fake as they seemed, they were real. A violent cresent moon resided on his forehead, as real as the magenta stripes.

Inuyasha was Sesshomaru's half-brother. He was younger, but not noticeably much. His hair was not as smooth as his brother's, but still quite soft and whiter than his brother's. Two puppy ears poked out from his long hair, and were twitching in iritation.

"But I don't wanna go!" The hanyou wailed, earning an annoyed glare from Sesshomaru. Inuyasha glared back, and was rewarded by a rough shove using his mokomoko tail when their father wasn't looking.

"Inuyasha, be like your brother. He doesn't want to go but he's holding it in," Inu Taisho reasoned with the hanyou, who now had a scornful look on his face.

"But Fluffy's just being Papa's little angel!" Inuyasha whined, and got roughly shoved by Sesshomaru again. "See, daddy?"

Inu Taisho just nodded in blind agreement, not really paying attention, as he started up the engine to the red Toyota that he owned. Still inside the car, he called to his two sons to get in the car. After the latter obeyed without protest and shut the door tightly, they were off to their first day of preschool.

"And this time, don't get expelled for killing a demon, whether it's from the school or not," Inu Taisho stated sternly, looking Sesshomaru's way.

Sesshomaru was the first to come out of the car and he shuffled his feet into the school. Although he was not particularly excited about learning, he was even less excited about making new friends. He never really did have friends. See, he was a full-blooded demon. But whenever he tried to transform from his giant dog self to his more human looking one, the tail remained the same. All the other demons made fun of him as he always had to carry his long tail on his shoulder. It wasn't his fault that it was so... fluffy.

Immediately after, Inuaysha scrambled out of the car and rushed to his brother's side.

"What happened? You usually never run toward me when you're scared," Sesshomaru cooly stated, staring at his half-brother through the corner of his eyes. The poor hanyou was visibly shaken. They entered the school just as the 5 minute bell started to ring.

"Nothing," Inuyasha mumbled. There was NO WAY he was telling his brother that Inu Taisho tried to get a goodbye kiss out of him.

Inuyasha tried to remember where Inu Taisho had said their class was, when a kindly old lady swung open a door in front of them.

"Ah! We've been expecting you two!" the lady said as she held Inuyasha's clawed hand, leaving Sesshomaru to follow. "Class, we have two new friends that are going to join you in class starting today," the lady, who Sessomaru assumed was the teacher, said with a kindly expression.

Applause could be heard for the new kids in class to make them feel welcome.

"Alright, I am Teacher Kaede, but you may call me by my name, Kaede," the lady said. "Sit anywhere you'd like."

Inuyasha caught sight of a raven haired girl, hapily chatting with her friends Sango and Miroku. She seemed pretty friendly, and seemed like a person who wouldn't hate hanyous like all other people would. He went to sit down with them and they started talking.

Sitting in a corner away from everyone, Sesshomaru watched as his half-brother made friends easily. He was alone as he was afraid of someone making fun of his tail again. He didn't show it, but he was very afraid. Whenever someone made fun of him, he could kill them fairly easily, but the insults still hurt. They always hurt.

"Hi," a voice called out to Sesshomaru, who was looking at the ground. His head shot up to find a little girl smiling at him. "Would you like to be my friend?"

Sesshomaru snapped at her. "Don't you dare call me a friend! You're just like the rest of them!" Who was this girl anyway?

"Rest of... who?" the girl asked looking around, utterly confused. "I'm sorry if someone hurt you!" She exclaimed and plopped herself right next to Sesshomaru. "My name's Rin! You're.. Sesshomaru, aren't you?"

Sesshomaru nodded. Somehow, being with this girl felt nice. Rin sported a sky blue sweater, and a pair of pink, long woolly pants. It was winter, so she was still cold. Slowly, she started to fall asleep leaning against Sesshomaru. It was a free day, so they could come to school and do anything they wanted, but only for this week.

Sesshomaru eyes wandered around the classroom to make sure no one was looking before quickly wrapping his tail around Rin's body. He had a slight blush appearing on his cheeks but he ignored it and continued petting Rin's head. She had been the first person, with the exeption of his family, who never insulted him for being a weak demon. Well, weak for a dog demon.

Rin started to stir after an hour or so, but when she tried to get up, a hand prevented her from doing so. Sesshomaru had fallen asleep as well, and they were both leaning their heads toward one another. Sesshomaru had his arm around Rin's shoulder, and without thinking, she shook him gently awake.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked with a ring of annoyance in his voice at being awoken.

"Um...You can let go of Rin now," Rin giggled as realization dawn upon her dog demon friend. His eyes widened and he instantly pulled his arm back, clutching it as though it was broken.

"Oh," was all that Sesshomaru could say as he sat there, unblinking.

"I feel like going outside to play," Rin smiled at Sesshomaru, who was a bit upset that his new friend was leaving him. Wait... friend? "Oh...you wanna come too, Sesshy?" Rin invited, noticing her friend's slight lonliness.

Sesshomaru's left eye twitched when she called him 'Sesshy', but he was more than welcome for company. "Fine."

The pair went out the door and arrived at a nice little playground blanketed with snow. Immediately after exiting the little school, Rin jumped onto an empty swing and asked Sesshomaru to push her. Beside her was Kagome on a swing as well, with Inuyasha pushing her.

"Hi, Kagome! And you're Sesshy's-" Sesshomaru's eye twitched here. "Little Brother aren't you? Inu... Inuyasha!" Rin finished excitedly.

"Uh huh!" Inuyasha and Kagome both said at the same time. They looked at each other in surprise that they had said the exact same thing, then both started grinning.

Miroku and Sango noticed the group of their friends by the swings and ran up to them.

"Hi Sesshomaru! Hi Inuyasha!" Both of them greeted their new friends before their old ones. Sesshomaru stared at them both and noticed how Miroku's hand slowly wandered to Sango's bottom.

"Miroku, what are you doing?" Sesshomaru asked and pointed to his hand. All eyes fell upon the 'cursed' left hand. Sango hit Miroku and took refuge with Sesshomaru and Rin.

"That guy thinks some dirty stuff! And it'll get worse in elementary school," Sango mumbled to herself, causing everyone but Sesshomaru to laugh. Every one noticed that Sesshomaru didn't laugh; he didn't find anything funny.

Rin wondered what would make him laugh. Maybe even smile, at the least.

"I'm gonna make you laugh, Sessy-kun! That's my new goal!" Rin clenched her fist in front of her chest, determination showed in her eyes but a cute smile stayed on her face. Sesshomaru's eye twitched at being called 'Sesshy' again.

"That's gonna be hard, Sesshomaru's never smiled before," Inuyasha said.

"Well, I'll make him smile then!" Rin giggled. "I'll find a way."

Later that day, they had a snack of cookies and milk. Kagome and Inuyasha were feeding each other, Sango and Miroku beside them eating seperately. Sesshomaru and Rin were on an eating mat together. 'Eating Mats' were little thin mattresses that the kids used for eating. Rin wanted to sit next to Sesshomaru on the same mat, so it led to them sharing one single mat.

The one they got happened to be red, Rin's favourite colour next to pink.

"This red is the same colour as your red stripes too, Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed as she bent over to trace the magenta stripes on his cheeks. Sesshomaru kept from squirmming as her finger traced his cheeks' demon stripes. It tickled.

When Rin sat back down, she started eating some cookies, and noticed Sesshomaru not eating.

"Sesshy-kun," Sesshomaru's eyes twitched at this, "Why aren't you eating?" Rin asked.

"I don't feel hungry," he simply replied.

"Well that's not right!" Rin said as she took a cookie and gently forced it into his mouth. He sniffed it silently so as to not look like a complete idiot like his brother, who would sniff the floor if he had to, and slowly bit into the cookie. After eating the first bite, he ate the second, and the third, and soon Sesshomaru grew to enjoy chocolate flavoured things.

"That was... good," Sesshomaru admitted and a small smile crept across his face. It worked!, Rin thought.

Naptime came shortly after. Everyone was given time to sleep on their eating mats, but Rin continued to shiver, along with the rest of the class. Pushing herself off the mat, Rin snuggled closer to Sesshomaru, whose body heat was amazingly warm. She wrapped her arms around his chest to keep warm, and he wrapped his tail around her too.

Kaede walked by a few minutes later and noticed Sesshomaru and Rin cuddled in their sleep, with Sesshomaru's fluffy warm tail wrapped around them both. It was hard to see in the darkness, but once you did it was extremely adorable.

"Young love," Kaede sighed at the thought of being old, then walked away to check on the other kids. Unconsiously in her sleep, Rin snuggled closer to Sesshomaru and burried her face into his chest.

After naptime, school ended. When Inu Taisho came to pick his sons up, he swore he could have seen a smile on Sesshomaru's face, and a grin on Inuyasha's. He turned to start up the engine in his car and the boys entered his car. When he looked back a his sons, Inuyasha still had the grin on his face while Sesshomaru now had on a bored expression.

"So, boys, what happened in school, today?" Inu Taisho asked with a grin, looking stupider than Inuyasha's.

"Well, I met Miroku, Sango and Kagome. They were real nice, and I like Kagome the best," Inuyasha started, and heard Sesshomaru scoff. "Oh, and Sesshomaru made a girlfriend!"

Sesshomaru's eyes widened. "Did not!" "Did to!" "Did not!" "Did to! See? She's outside the car waving at us," Inuyasha argued back and pointed to Rin. "She's not my girlfriend!" Sesshomaru argued back.

Inu Taisho laughed as he started driving away. "What a great girlfriend for you, Sesshomaru! And Kagome will make a great sister-in-law to Sess, too!"

Both boys turned crimson red. "DAD!"
