Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

This is just an idea I had going around in my head. I know it's kind of cliche.


Like every day I came to the back of the school and went to our hill to wait for him. I was lying under the shade of the huge oak tree that resided on the top of the hill. I could feel the blades of grass underneath me. The mild spring breeze felt good against my skin.

I slowly closed my eyes and relaxed and before I knew it I had fell asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep for but I was awoken by the feeling of someone laying down beside me. I opened my eyes slowly to adjust to the sunlight poking through the branches of the big oak tree disturbing the shade.

I looked over to see my best friend Inuyasha. He was lying beside me with his arms behind his head and his golden eyes hidden. His long silver hair rested beside him and his two fuzzy ears twitched on the top of his head reacting to the breeze.

I turned on my side to face him, "When did you get here?"

Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes and turned his head towards me, "I haven't been here too long. Sorry practice ran late again wolf shit pissed me off and we kind of started fighting."

I giggled thinking how typical of Inuyasha and Kouga that was. They were always fighting and arguing about something.

Inuyasha gave me one of his toothy grins letting one of his fangs hang out of his mouth. "You laughing at me?" I laughed some more and nodded my head yes.

His golden eyes sparkled with mischief. Before I could even move he had leaned over me and started tickling me.

I was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of my eyes. "Mercy Inuyasha! I surrender! Please stop!"

Inuyasha stopped his merciless attack and stood up offering me his hand. I accepted and looked up at him. "You ready to go home Rin?"

I smiled and nodded my head. I grabbed his hand and started running down the hill dragging him with me. When we reached the bottom we started our familiar trek home.

We both walked quietly side by side enjoying the silence and then Inuyasha decided to break it. "Rin how long have we been best friends?

I looked up at Inuyasha I was caught off guard by his random question. "Ever since kindergarten and I was your girlfriend for like a day.

He smirked at me, "Oh come on Rin are you still mad about that? I thought we were past that! Besides you pushed me down on the ground for dumping you. I'm pretty sure that makes us even."

I skipped ahead of him and started walking backwards in front of him smiling at him. "I don't know Inuyasha I was at a very impressionable age. Maybe that's why I haven't had a boyfriend."

Inuyasha started shaking his head, "The reason you don't have a boyfriend is because you have a huge crush on Sesshomaru which I still don't understand. Guys at school throw themselves at you so it's definitely not because nobody likes you."

I ignored his comment about Sesshomaru, "People that are already in a relationship wouldn't understand!" I stuck my tongue out at him for good measure.

Inuyasha started running towards me and grabbed my waist throwing me over his shoulder with his demon strength. "Inuyasha put me down!"

"Nope that's what you get for sticking your tongue out at me now we're going to walk the rest of the way home just like this. I don't even care if people start staring."

I groaned, "Inuyasha the neighbors already think we're crazy don't make it worse!"

As kids Inuyasha and I did some crazy things. One time we set a firework off in the neighborhood mail box. We got dirty look for weeks from our neighbors. Living right next door to each other was an added bonus to our friendship.

I started beating on Inuyasha's back with my fists and groaned, "Inuyasha!"

Realizing he was going to stay true to his word I gave up and just waited for the ride to be over. When we made it to our court he put me down.

As soon as I regained my balance I punched him in the chest playfully. "You're such a jerk!"

Inuyasha chuckled and hugged me, "You know you love me! I mean why else would you come to the school on spring break just to walk me home."

It was true it was spring break but I still went to the school everyday to walk home with Inuyasha. My day didn't feel complete without seeing him at least once.

"You should be grateful you have a best friend like me!" I pointed my thumb towards myself dramatically.

Inuyasha just shook his head and laughed at me. I'll call you tomorrow and we can plan something. I made plans to go on a date with Kagome tonight."

I smirked at him and punched his shoulder, "Oooo someone's got a hot date with his hot girlfriend tonight."

When I saw a light pink dust his cheeks from my teasing I giggled. Inuyasha was embarrassed so easily. I started walking towards my house backwards.

"Kaede and I are coming to your house later for dinner. Your mom invited us so maybe I'll get to see you before your date. See you later best friend!"

Inuyasha waved at me, "See you later Rin.


I looked over at the house to see my dad standing there waiting for me. I walked the rest of the way to my house. When I got inside I gave my dad a big hug. My dad owned his own company so he traveled a lot. He had just been on a business trip in Mulan. That was part of the reason Kaede lived with us after mom died he didn't want me to be alone in the house. I always missed him when he was gone.

He hugged me back tightly, "How's my girl doing? Did you miss me?"

I pulled back far enough so I could see his face, "You already know the answer to that Dad of course I missed you. How was your trip?"

My dad laughed boisterously it was comforting. "It was fine but I really wanted to get back home to you and Kaede. I was missing my family.

We let go of each other and walked into the living room to see Kaede fast asleep with her knitting in her hand. I tiptoed over to her and gently pulled the knitting away, grabbed the blanket that hung over the back of the couch, and covered her with it. I tiptoed my way back over to my dad.

He put his arm around my shoulders and I leaned up against him, "It's good to have you home dad."

My dad kissed my forehead and then pulled away and started climbing the stairs. "Good to be home Rin."


Not too long after my dad went upstairs I went upstairs to my bedroom. I plopped down on the stool in front of my white canvas. I picked up my pastels and started drawing. An hour later I finished. It was a drawing of Kaede sleeping on the couch and not to toot my own horn or anything but I think it was pretty good.

Knock! Knock! I turned around on the stool to face my door. "Come in."

My dad opened the door and leaned against it's frame. "Hey Rin. Kaede's awake now and she say's we better head over to the Takhashi's for dinner."

"Okay give me a minute." I started putting my drawing supplies away. My dad nodded his head and closed the door behind him when he left.

I walked into my bathroom that was connected to my room and washed my hands getting the pastel colors off. When I accomplished that task I went back to my room and went to my closet. I decided to wear a pair of lavender wedges with a pretty lavender summer dress I got to match the shoes.

I walked over to my mirror. My straight waist length raven black hair was down, I put on some eyeliner to make my brown eyes pop, and my dress went down to my knees. Once I was satisfied with my appearance I walked down the stairs to see my dad and Kaede waiting by the door.

My dad looked at me and smiled. "You look pretty Rin."

Before I could reply Kaede was scooting us out the door, "Yes, yes she looks very pretty now let's go we don't want show up late and be rude." My dad and I laughed at Kaede's impatience. We all walked next door and rang the doorbell.


Inuyasha opened the door swiftly he looked like he had run to the door. He probably thought we were Kagome.

My dad chuckled, "Calm down son it's just us."

Inuyasha smiled a little, "It's good to see you Uncle Tomoya."

My dad clapped Inuyasha on the shoulder and walked inside with Kaede following behind him. I stood at the door with Inuyasha. He looked me up and down.

"You look nice for just eating dinner with the family."

"Thanks I guess."

I pushed him inside and we walked into the living room. Kaede and my dad had already made themselves comfortable and were sitting on the couch. Mine and Inuyasha's dad were already in conversation.

Not wanting to interrupt I walked over to Inuyasha's dad and kissed him on the forehead, "Good to see you Uncle Taisho."

He smiled up at me, "Good to see you too Rin."

Leaving them to their conversation I walked into the kitchen to see Inuyasha's mom Izayoi cooking dinner. I had a mischievous thought and decided to go through with it.

She was spinning some salad in the salad spinner and I slowly came up behind her, "Boo!"

"Ahhhhhhh!" she turned around to see it was just me and let out a sigh of relief.

"Young lady are you trying to give me a heart attack." she tried to keep a stern expression but ended up smiling when all the demons in the house ran to the kitchen.

I started cracking up and gave Izayoi a hug, "I love you and I'm so sorry I just couldn't resist."

Getting the gist of what happened the demons of the house gave me a disapproving look. They all went back to what they were doing.


When the door bell rang I ran to the door getting there before Inuyasha could. I opened the door to see Kagome standing there. She looked gorgeous her wavy black hair was down, her chocolate brown eyes sparkled as she smiled, and she was wearing some shorts with a pair of boots, and a floral short sleeved shirt. She wore black eyeliner with smoky eye shadow.

I leaned against the door frame, "Your so pretty!" I squealed and gave her a hug.

She smiled at me, "Not looking too bad yourself Rin." She said hugging me back.

While we were hugging she whispered, "Wouldn't be trying to impress a certain demon would you Rin?"

Inuyasha walked up behind me, "She probably was. Sesshomaru comes over for dinner all the time."

He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me away from his girlfriend and he gave her a hug himself.

He pulled away from her and looked her up and down, "You look beautiful Kagome."

She blushed and looked down at the ground. Inuyasha smirked cockily. I decided to tease them, "Awww you guys are so cute!"

My comment made them both blush. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and led her out the door. Inuyasha gave me a wave as they left. I closed the door behind them and went back to the kitchen where Izayoi was cooking dinner. I didn't even offer to help because I knew she would never accept it. Izayoi always insisted that we were guests and we just needed to relax when either Kaede or I offered to help.


I was about to go to the living room to hang out with Kaede, Uncle Taisho, and dad but I heard the door open. I walked over to the entryway to see Sesshomaru walking in. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were similar in the fact that they both had long silver hair and golden eyes but other then that they were completely different. Inuyasha was cocky but he could be sweet when he wanted to be. Sesshomaru was more composed and quiet. His attitude towards others was kind of cold but he could be nice sometimes. Inuyasha was a half demon and Sesshomaru was a full blooded demon. Inuyasha had puppy dog ears. Sesshomaru had two purple almost red marks donning each cheek, pointed ears, and a blue crescent moon on his forehead.

Sesshomaru looked up at me and I walked towards him. I gave him a hug wrapping my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist it felt so good to be hugged by him.

I pulled away first knowing I wouldn't want to let go if I hugged him any longer. "Hey Sesshomaru. It's good to see you. I feel like I never see you anymore."

Sesshomaru looked me up and down, "You look nice."

I smiled knowing he was trying to avoid the subject of him coming home more often. His dad and Izayoi always bugged him about it. Sesshomaru lived at home until he was eighteen and then when he got into college he lived at the dorms. Now Sesshomaru worked for his father at Takhashi Corporation. He was twenty two now and I was only eighteen sometimes I felt like we were so far apart.

"Thanks," I replied

When we walked into the kitchen everybody was sitting down at the table in the attached dining room.

Taisho looked up at us relieved. "Finally we can eat!"

I shook my head. Sesshomaru looked more like his dad then Inuyasha did but Inuyasha acted a lot more like Taisho then Sesshomaru.

I went and sat by my dad and Sesshomaru sat next to Izayoi. We all ate in silence.

Well until Izayoi got fed up with the quiet and smiled over at me, "So Rin I heard from Inuyasha that Kohaku asked you out again and you turned him down again."

I looked from her to my dad and back again my eyes wide, "Izayoi!"

Izayoi looked at my dad who seemed to be in shock and then at me. "Your not a little girl anymore Rin I'm sure your dad realizes that."

My dad gave me a stern look, "You've never told me about this boy Rin."

I leaned my head back and sighed loudly, "Yeah dad because I never accepted any of his offers so I didn't think it was that important to tell you about it."

I looked up at Sesshomaru to see him staring straight back at me and he didn't look to happy.

I looked away from his gaze, "Can we please change topics?"

"Not so fast Rin I want to know more about this boy." I looked over at my dad like he was crazy. It's not like Kohaku was anyone important.

I stood up from the table, "I don't feel so hungry anymore. Thank you for dinner Izayoi. Excuse me." I walked out the back door and went up the tree house that had been there since me and Inuyasha were little.


I laid down on the floor of the tree house and closed my eyes. It wasn't too long before I heard someone climbing up. I opened my eyes to see Sesshomaru. Not who I was expecting but I wasn't complaining either.

He came and sat next to me, "So who's Kohaku?"

I groaned loudly and laid back down on the floor. "Why do you even care?"

Sesshomaru looked at me so seriously that I started to get nervous. He leaned over me. His face was so close to mine. He brought his lips to mine and kissed me gently and then suddenly bit my bottom lip hard. I opened my eyes to see him giving me such an intense look.

Sesshomaru got back up and went down the tree.

All I could think was what the hell was that?


Should I continue?
