This was inspired by a line in I think chapter six of pammazola's 'Rising Sun' when she mentioned the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance and I was like ooh, I can write something about that so here we go. Enjoy!

Sadie Hawkins Day

By: Jaylonni Love

Part One

Rin pulled the shirt of her cheerleading uniform over her head before looking into the mirror that hung from her bedroom wall with a smile. She picked up her brush, the one her mother left her before she died and began to work it through her long brownish-black hair. She brushed it back before pulling it into a high ponytail. She then picked up her yellow ribbon and tied it around her ponytail. She smiled as she ran her hand through her hair.

Tuesday, a whole three days until Friday – that is if you count today, Rin thought as she twirled a lock of hair around her finger before turning around and plopping down on her bed. She picked up her white tennis shoes that were required to wear with the uniform and pulled them on to her feet, tying the laces in a tight bow.

"Rin, are you up dear," her aunt called from downstairs.

"Yes ma'am," Rin said as she stood up from her bed. "I'm almost ready to go too."

"Good, hurry up now, there's breakfast on the table," her aunt said; the sound of her feet walking away on the wooden floor downstairs making itself known to her.

Rin sighed silently before picking up her bag and placing it over her shoulder, running out of her bedroom and down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen to see her aunt, her cousins, and her grandmother sitting at the table.

"Morning everybody," Rin said dropping her bag on the floor as she took a seat at the table. "How did you all sleep?"

"I slept well," her grandmother said with a smile. "Do ye have a big game tonight or something?"

"Oh, no, we have to show school spirit since someone from the cheer association is coming or something like that so our coach wants us to wear our uniforms," Rin said picking up her fork as her aunt put her plate in front of her. "Thank you Aunt Kimiko."

"Do you have practice after school, Rin?" her aunt asked as she sat down with her own plate of food.

"Yeah, but only until six thirty," Rin said scooping another bite of eggs into her mouth. "I should be home by seven if I can get a ride from someone."

"I'll give you a ride," her cousin, Fumiko said as she pointed her fork at Rin, "That is if you want me to. I get out of class at six and I can be there by six twenty."

"If you could that would be awesome," Rin said with a smile.

"Alright, meet me in the parking lot at six thirty five, directly after you get out of practice," Fumiko said sticking more food in her mouth.

"Will do," Rin said finishing up her food before hopping out of her seat and taking the plate to the sink and dumping it in before rinsing it off. She dried her hands after pulling them out of the water and turned to make her way out of the kitchen. "I'll see you guys later. Love you all."

She picked up her bag and headed out the door.

…

Walking along the sidewalk to the bus stop, Rin hummed until the roar of the engine of a car was heard beside her. She turned her head to see a 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS riding beside her. She smiled when the window rolled down and she saw her good friend, Sesshomaru Takahashi sitting there.

"Need a ride, cheerleader?" he asked; a smirk playing across his lips.

Rin smiled as well before nodding, "That would be nice, thanks." She walked over and pulled opened the door to the car before stepping in and closing it behind her. Pulling the seatbelt across her chest, she looked over at her best friend, "Thanks for the lift, Sessh. This so beats taking the bus."

"No problem," he said pressing down on the gas again.

…

Sesshomaru pulled to a stop in front of the school, cutting the engine of the car. Rin unclipped her seatbelt before turning to look at Sesshomaru, "Hey, thanks for the lift football head. I'll see you around school."

Sesshomaru smiled before giving her a nod, "You're welcome. Do you need a ride home as well, cheerleader?"

"Nah, my cousin is coming to get me," Rin said before opening the door and hopping out. "Thanks again Sesshomaru."

She closed the door before turning and walking towards the school. She hummed as she walked through the door and down the noisy hall towards her locker. Entering the combination, she let her bag drop off her shoulder before pulling the door opened.

As she pulled books out her bag and began stuffing them in her locker, she heard something slam against the locker next to hers before a voice spoke, "You're not going to believe what's going on."

Rin looked behind the door at her best friend and fellow cheerleader, Sango, "Hi Sango, what's going on now?"

"The school decided to have a Sadie Hawkins Day dance," Sango said folding her arms over her chest. "And the girls are supposed to ask the guys, its tradition."

"Are you serious?" Rin asked picking up her bag again and slinging it over her shoulder.

"Dead serious, it was on the school website this morning," Sango said pulling her iPhone out of her bag before turning on the screen and clicking the safari button. She turned it and showed it to Rin, "See, right there on the homepage."

Rin read the page wide eyed, "Wow, you're freakin' serious."

"Exactly," Sango said placing the phone back in her bag. "So, who do you plan on taking with you? Or do you even plan on going?"

"Eh, I'm not really sure if I want to go," Rin said. "And if I do go, I have no idea who I'm going to take. I don't have very many options that I would willingly go with at the moment."

Sango looked towards the entrance of the school when Sesshomaru walked through the door, "I know someone you could take."

"And who would that be," Rin asked raising a brow, "Definitely not Bankotsu or any of his little gang or whatever they are."

"Oh hell no, of course not them, his initials are S. M. T," Sango said giggling a little. "You know exactly who I'm talking about too, Rin."

"Oh my gosh no, Sango," Rin squealed; her nose turning red in embarrassment. "I don't like Sesshomaru. He's my best friend since we were like four."

"Uh huh and that's why you always get little stars in your eyes every time you're near him," Sango teased making Rin turn redder. "C'mon Rin just ask him. It won't kill you and the dance is this weekend. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be opposed to going with you. From what I hear from Inuyasha, he likes you a lot himself."

"That's hear say Sango," Rin said pointedly as she closed her locker door. "I wouldn't believe it if I were you."

"You just don't want to admit that I'm right," Sango said as they began walking down the hall towards their class. "Sesshomaru likes you and you like him. You know this, I know this, the entire school knows this, and I'm pretty sure he knows this. It's so freakin' obvious a blind man could see it."

Rin rolled her eyes, "I doubt it."

"You say that now but until you do what I suggested, you'll never know." Sango pointed out with a smirk. "Besides, you guys would make such a cute couple. You fit together. He's kinda cold and uptight and you're the exact polar opposite. You're the Yin to his Yang."

"You didn't just go there," Rin said giggling a bit, "The Yin to his Yang? Really?"

"Yes really," Sango said picking up on what Rin was getting at. It did sound a little funny when she repeated it but it was the perfect analogy. "You guys are the exact polar opposite thus making one another complete. Do you get what I mean now?"

"Yes I get what you mean but I still don't agree," Rin said stopping at the door of their first period Pre-calculus class. "It's completely unheard of, of someone like me being with someone like him, the son of one of the most prestigious men in the entire world. As friends, yes it's possible, but as a couple; I don't think so."

"There you go again being negative," Sango said with a smile. "You'll never know until you try Rin. It's like my mother always told me, you'll never know if something comes true if you keep on doubting it before you even try. Stop doubting yourself and just ask him. I'm behind you one hundred percent of the way, you know that."

Rin sighed, "I guess you're right. You never know until you try, right?"

"So does that mean you're going to ask him?" Sango asked smiling.

"Yeah, I guess I am," Rin said. "But if I ask Sesshomaru, you have to ask Miroku."

"That pervert? No way, Rin," Sango said angrily as a bright red colour spread across her nose. "You know I can't stand him. I'd rather date Jaken."

Rin giggled at her friend. She thought that Rin still didn't know but she did. Even though Sango claimed up and down that she hated Miroku's guts, she knew that she actually really liked the guy; even if he is a womanizer and a pervert as she so claimed, "Sure Sango, whatever you say."

The bell rang overhead causing Rin and Sango to walk into the classroom and take their seats, waiting for the rest of the kids to file into the room before the bell rang.

…

Lunch came quickly and for that, Rin was grateful. Picking up her bag from the floor of the art room, she headed towards the door and walked out into the hallway as she pulled her phone from inside her bag. She unlocked the screen before going to her contacts and flipping through them until she found Sango's number. She pressed call and placed the Galaxy S2 to her ear, listening as the phone rang until Sango picked up, "Hello?"

"Where do you plan on going for lunch," Rin asked as she walked through the door that led to the stairwell and up the stairs.

"Well Kagome wants Chipotle, Kirara wants ribs, and Ayame wants Teriyaki so we're going to Lenox Square and picking up food from there," Sango said. "Wanna come with?"

"Yeah, meet me by the security officer's desk," Rin said walking out the door and into the crowded west lobby. "We'll leave from there; are you driving?"

"Nah, Kagome is," Sango said, "I didn't drive today. I caught a ride with her."

"Alright then, I'll see you guys in a little bit," Rin said before hanging up and slipping her phone back into her bag.

She pushed her way through the crowded north lobby, bumping into other students that didn't want to move until she bumped into Kagura. The pressure from hitting the other female sent Rin flying backward, falling straight on her butt, "That hurt."

"What the hell is wrong with you, Maruyama?" Kagura hissed as she picked herself up from the floor. "You don't know how to watch where the fuck you're going? Maybe you should invest in some glasses."

"Maybe you should invest in getting a filter for your mouth," Rin heard a male voice say from behind her as hands reached down and lifted her to her feet again. "You clearly do not know how to speak to people, Kagura."

Rin looked back to see Sesshomaru standing there and smiled, "Thanks for helping me up Sesshomaru; sorry about that Kagura. I was pushed so I tripped and I guess I bumped into you."

"You guess huh," Kagura said rolling her eyes. "I don't want some half ass apology Maruyama, so I'll just make sure coach knows that you tried to assault a fellow cheerleader. Let's see if that knocks you down a couple pegs, captain."

"You're taking this too far Kagura," Rin said; her voice laced with hurt. "There's no need for you go and lie like that. I didn't bump into you on purpose. Have you ever heard of this little thing called an accident? Because that's exactly what that was; an accident. I didn't intentionally bump into you but if you're going to act like that then that's fine."

Kagura snarled, "Sure it was, and it'll be an accident when I make you fall off the top of the pyramid today during practice."

"And you'll be paying my hospital bill," Rin retorted making Kagura roll her eyes.

"Sure I will," she said before turning and walking away.

Rin scuffed, shaking her head at the raven haired cheerleader as she walked through the crowd shoving people side to side to get them out of her way, "That girl will never learn."

"Yes that is true," Sesshomaru said. "Are you alright though?"

"I'm fine," Rin said shrugging it off. "It really was no big deal. She just blew everything out of proportion is all; I'll see you around though. I need to catch up with Kagome, Ayame, Kirara, and Sango before they leave me."

She turned and walked away leaving Sesshomaru to watch her with a smirk on his face. He could read her like an open book. She liked him but she was trying to play it off and was doing a pretty good job about it but he still saw through her façade, eventually she'll say it.

…

Rin made it to the security guard's desk and saw her friends Sango, Kagome, Kirara, and Ayame all standing there, waiting for her.

"Took you long enough," Sango commented.

"Sorry about that," Rin said as they made their way to the door. "I had a bit of a run in with Kagura a few minutes ago and she made a big scene out of everything as usual. I had to take care of that before meeting up with you guys."

"Kagura is always blowing things out of proportion," Kagome said. "That's just like her. She's a snake that can't get over the fact that no one likes her because of her snotty attitude. Maybe if she cleans up her act she'll actually have some friends instead of trying to make everyone else feel bad because she's the social reject of the school."

"You can say that again," Ayame piped.

"I definitely agree," Kirara said laughing a bit.

"I kind of feel bad for her," Rin said. "She doesn't have any real friends and that's what she needs the most; that and an attitude adjustment. She'd actually be a decent person if she weren't so mean to everyone."

"You're not serious are you," Kagome asked quirking a brow as they came to her car and she hit the unlock button on her keys.

"I'm dead serious," Rin said. "If she weren't such a snake, she'd actually have friends and she wouldn't be all alone. She's a loner and I really feel bad for her."

Kagome tsked, "I wouldn't."

"That's because you're just plain mean," Sango teased. "And you guys said I was the evil one of the group."

The girls laughed as they entered the car and sped off towards Lenox Square.

I do believe I will turn this into a two or three part piece… maybe. Hopefully you all enjoyed!
