Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year

Me + U

"INUYASHA!" Rin squealed loudly, jumping on her best friend. Her loud voice and sudden action earned a few sideways glances from fellow students in the hallway.

But, that was your typical Rin. Loud and insane. Unpredictable, basically crazy.

Inuyasha gave an odd yelp, but that went unnoticed, because Rin had begun one of her rambling spells.

"O.M.G., I cannot believe that we're Sophomores already! Only three more years in this hellhole we call a school, and then we're gonna be in COLLEGE! I can't even start to believe this crap. I am in awe right now." she began to spin around slowly, as if taking in the building's essence. Inuyasha found this comical, seeing as she'd gone to the exact same school the year before.

"Yeah… righto then Rinny." he said happily and ruffled her hair.

"Damn it Inuyasha, don't call me that stupid name!" she exclaimed running her fingers through her long brunette tresses, trying to fix the hairs Inuyasha had upset.

He cocked an eyebrow and smirked, "Oh? So you prefer 'Rinny-Bear'? Or how about 'Sweet Pea'?" he laughed as Rin started to turn a light pink color.

"Only my mother refers to me that way, and I hope to keep it that way, loser. Now, let's get to homeroom." Rin managed to grind out her reply without cursing. That was only because a teacher was standing in earshot, and detention wasn't her favorite thing in the whole wide world.

She marched in front of him and Inuyasha unconsciously checked her out. She was wearing a faded Hollister mini skirt and a turquoise Abercrombie polo shirt. She had no idea how enticing those two articles of clothing were to the male species of their high school. Especially on her.

Inuyasha had no intentions of going out with her, or even starting to crush on her, but it was hard not to with her long and perfectly styled brown hair, clear blue pools that you could drown in, and a perfectly slim body, with just the right curves in all the right places…

"Jesus Inuyasha." he muttered to himself. He had gotten into too much detail about her there. About the girl he referred to as his little sister. His best friend. And nothing more.

Rin stopped so suddenly, Inuyasha walked right into her. She gasped slightly and turned right around to look at Inuyasha, an unreadable expression on her face.

"What's with you?" he asked nonchalantly, figuring it was some weird women thing.

She smiled at him slightly. "Your lover is coming towards us."

"Huh?" came his intelligent response.

"INUYASHA!" a loud shriek to rival Rin's 'INUYASHA' reverberated throughout the halls.

"Miss. Higurashi! If you cannot control yourself, I will have to put you into detention on your first day back." an educator that resembled a bird scolded the black-haired girl.

"Yes ma'am." Kagome replied with forced respect. She turned away and ran right at Inuyasha, arms outstretched.

"Hi." she said excitedly once she was in Inuyasha's arms.

"Hey," he replied happily, "what's your next class?" he asked.

"Biology honors. You?" she asked, paying no attention to Rin at all.

"Me too." he grinned and Kagome smiled happily. She looked at Rin, as though just seeing her there.

"Hey Rin, have a good summer?" she asked, still in Inuyasha's tight embrace.

"It was okay, kinda quiet. Yours?" Rin figured she might as well be polite, but she never got to hear about Kagome's summer because the bell rang and the lovely couple headed off to their smart-person class and Rin went off to Modern Algebra II.

She sat through the class half-asleep. As the teacher droned on about variables and the importance of numbers, Rin found her concentration slipping away. 'Maybe that's why I'm not good at math, she thought, 'I can't even begin to concentrate on it… way too boring.' she stifled a yawn and took a few notes that the professor had scribbled on the board.

"Miss. Hamiyama?" he asked suddenly.

"Yeah?" she asked in a dazed stupor.

"Please answer the question." he said, suddenly stern.

The truth was, Rin didn't even know what the question was. Let alone the solution. So, she decided to take a wild guess, "Uh, seven?" she asked, you can't go wrong with lucky number seven.

He glared at Rin through bespectacled eyes and turned to the class, "Does someone who was paying attention have the solution?" he asked irately.

A boy from the back answered correctly, and the answer was something way off of 'seven'.

XOXO

"So, how was your first few classes as a Sophomore?" Inuyasha asked as trudged to their lunch. It turned out that the dynamic duo only had a couple classes together, but, on the bright side, one of those classes was lunch. (AN: I dunno if lunch is a class at all high schools, it is at mine.)

"Pretty okay, I got told off in math, but over all, it wasn't the worst experience of my life. How about you?" she asked as she stuffed her mouth with French fries.

"Mine, so far, have been good. I liked them anyways. I have quite a few with Kagome, so it makes things okay." he smiled in a far away sort of way, as though he was reminiscing on the earlier classes with Kagome.

"Yes, yes, we mustn't forget about 'Darling Kagome'." Rin fought the urge to roll her eyes with great difficulty.

"Yeah, 'Darling Kagome' is right. You need a ride home today, don't you?" he asked in a careful way. He knew Rin didn't like to speak of her home life.

A shadow of distain flickered across her features for a moment and then she grinned. "Yeah, if you could. Is your mom or your dad picking you up today?" she asked him. She liked both of his parents but, loved his dad's car, he drove a black Porsche convertible, while his mother drove a midnight blue Escalade. Both cool, but you have to love a Porsche.

A grim facial expression washed over Inuyasha's handsome features. "Neither. My dear brother is going to be taking me home."

"You have a brother?" she asked him, purely shocked and kind of hurt that Inuyasha didn't tell her that he did have one.

"Yeah, he used to live with his mother in LA, but my dad demanded parental rights, so now he's living here. Lucky me." he rolled his eyes and Rin laughed.

"So… he's your half brother? Does he go to school here? Is he nice? What kind of car does he have? Does he have a girlfriend? And if he doesn't, is he hot?" Rin's questions gushed out a mile a minute.

Inuyasha heaved a great sigh and began to answer them, "Umm, yup, and don't refer to me as his full brother, we don't exactly see eye-to-eye all the time. Yeah, he's a Junior. Hell no, he is the stupidest, most arrogant, fathead dick-hole you will ever meet. He drives a silver Lambo, my dad's 'Welcome Home' present, talk about favorite child. I don't think he has a girlfriend, I don't mess with his private life and he does the same. And, because I am straight and his half brother, I think he is the ugliest thing since sliced bread."

"Hmmm… who would have known that bread was ugly." Rin smiled at him and he rolled his eyes and gave her a smirk back.

"Only you could come up with a comeback like that 'Rinny-Poo."

"Yeah, you like to think you're funny don't cha Inucakes?" she asked coyly as they left the lunchroom.

"Pretty much Rinnikins, pretty much."

"Ha, ha." she laughed dryly.

XOXO

"Ready to go?" Inuyasha asked and smiled at Rin, who was dabbing on lip gloss while looking into the mirror fastened in her locker door, surrounded by a few pictures of sexy rocker heartthrobs and a picture of her and Inuyasha.

She rubbed her lips together, dropped the lip gloss into her bag and beamed at him. "Yeah, let us go."

"Okay then…" his voice trailed off as he saw his brother standing around waiting for him and wearing a baseball cap tilted to the side and dark sunglasses, giving him the look of a guy rebelling against something.

"Are you finally ready to go?" he asked slowly. Rin gasped in awe. How Inuyasha had referred him as ugly was unfathomable. He was beyond hot, he was gorgeous, but, Rin was a little disappointed because she couldn't really see his face. He looked so familiar, but she couldn't remember where she'd seen him before.

"Yeah, and your taking Rin home too, so let's go."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean? It's my car, I can choose whomever I want to drive around and I'm not going to become a shuttle run for all of your stupid little boyfriends." his voice was still quiet, but it had a lethal tone to it so that sent chills down Rin's spine, good chills though, good chills.

"Incase you didn't notice, because you're too obsessed with yourself to, RIN IS A GIRL!" he glared at his older relative and he did seem to notice Rin for the first time.

"So she is… fine, let's go then." he led the way to his car.

Once they reached it, Inuyasha dumped himself into the passenger's side, so Rin slid into the backseat carefully. "So, where does your little girlfriend live?" he put an emphasis on the word 'girl'.

"For one, she is not my girlfriend-" he began to tell the older boy off, but he was interrupted.

"Whatever then, your friend girl. Where does Rin live?" he asked.

"4501 Medowcreek Drive." Rin chimed out and he looked at her in the rearview mirror through sunglass-covered eyes.

"Thank you." the rest of their drive was silent except for the giving of directions from Inuyasha and the occasional yelling of lyrics from the radio.

The silver car pulled into Rin's driveway and turned around to look at her. "Well, is this your house or was my darling brother too incompetent to give directions?" he asked smoothly as Rin smiled gently.

"Yeah. Thank you so much for the ride home. I'll see you," she turned to his sulking brother, "bye Inucakes." she winked and got out.

XOXO

"'Thank you so much for the ride home. I'll see you.' What the hell was that about Rin? You were so sucking up to him, just like all of the other girls today." Inuyasha feigned Rin's voice over the phone.

Rin slumped into her computer chair and signed onto AIM to see if any of her other friends were online. "I don't know Inuyasha, I was just trying to be polite because he was nice enough to give me a ride home. Speaking of which, I'll need another one tomorrow. And, what do you mean by sucking up to him?"

"Nothing! And, well, maybe I won't give you a ride home. Especially if you're going to keep flirting with my brother!" Inuyasha exclaimed savagely.

"That's fine, I'll just ask your brother for one, seeing as you don't have a car." she said and smiled to herself.

"I'll tell him not to give you one then!"

"Right, because he listens to you and then does every little thing you tell him to." she replied sarcastically.

"Look, this is stupid, I don't see why we have to fight about my brother." he said angrily.

"Inuyasha, you asshole, you're the one who started this whole damn argument! Your acting as though I created this whole stupid thing and I so did not." Rin retorted hotly.

"Technically, you did start it because if it wasn't for you flirting-"

"JESUS CHRIST! I am not going to talk about this, it isn't even a big deal, I can talk to whomever I want to, and you can't tell me not to. You shouldn't even care, you're turning into a control freak, Inuyasha, and I'm not even your fucking girlfriend!" Rin cut him off and his end of the phone was silent, "Plus, I wasn't even flirting with him. All I did was thank him."

Inuyasha still remained stunned silent.

"Fine! I'll walk home tomorrow then, goodbye." Rin snapped her pink Motorola Razr shut and tossed it onto her bed. 'Men, they cannot get over their egos for one minute.' Rin thought to herself.

'Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?' Rin's cell phone rang and she rolled her eyes, knowing exactly who was calling.

And she wasn't going to answer.

XOXO

Rin woke up in a tired state and walked over to her closet to pick out her clothes for the day. She decided on a dark pink low-cut sweater, a black camisole, a pair of dark blue skinny straight jeans and black suede knee-high boots. She gathered the clothes in her arms and padded over to the bathroom to take a shower.

After five minutes, she was finished, so she dressed and combed out her hair. Afterwards, she took out her pink blow-drier and dried her hair, once it was dry, she swept her side bangs up into a pouf. She secured it with pins and took out her make-up bag. She poked diamond studded Chanel earrings into her ears and put on a matching necklace.

Rin dusted golden/pink shadow onto her lids and swept a dark brown/black mascara over her lashes, dabbed on a dusty pink gloss and applied foundation to parts of her face. She smiled at her reflection and walked downstairs.

She grabbed her bag and looked at her mom who was eating a piece of toast, "Can you take me to school today?" she asked hopefully.

Her mother frowned at her, "Ah, Rin, I'm so very sorry, but I can't, I'm working on my novel all day, and I don't really have the time." she bit into her toast loftily,

Rin threw her mom a pleading look, "Please mom, I don't have a ride, and it's too far to walk."

"Deadlines Rinny-Bear, deadlines. Plus, can't you have that nice little Inuyasha pick you up? He always does."

"Not today mom. I'm so pissed at him, it's not even-"

"Rin," her mother scolded sharply, "I've told you not to curse in front of me, have I not?"

"I'm sorry." Rin muttered and went out the back door.

"I'm sorry you're such a bitch." she huffed under her breath as she began to walk briskly in the direction of her high school.

XOXO

"OH MY GOD! NO WAY! ARE YOU SERIOUS?" a freshman with her eyes bugging out of her head shook her best friend with excitement.

"I am not lying! HE is in our school! HE GOES TO SCHOOL HERE!" the two began hugging and sobbing and squealing about some guy. Rin figured they were both being over emotional due to the fact that is was 'their time of the month' and that they were just flipping out about a friend's older brother they just discovered went to their school. She gave them a strange look and the scowled at her and continued their celebration.

Once Rin walked into her classroom, the room was abuzz. People were gathered in small groups discussing what appeared to be the same topic the two freshmen were. She heard bits of, "No fucking way…" and "Damn, now no girls will ever go out with us, with competition like that…"

She walked over to Ayame and Sango who were also talking in low voices. "Uh, guys… what's everybody talking about?" she asked, and they rounded on her with a look of utter shock. They exchanged worried glances.

"You mean you don't-" Sango started and then looked at Ayame.

"She can't be that far out of the loop." Ayame responded quickly and smiled at Rin.

"What are you-" Rin started, but the hushed her and Sango opened her mouth to speak quickly.

"Sesshomaru Tashio goes to school here! He is a Junior here, HE GOES TO SCHOOL HERE!" Sango all but yelled.

"Aww, come one Sango, you have no chance in hell, you're going out with Miroku, and plus, everyone knows he has a thing for redheads." Ayame said annoyed.

"Yeah right, everyone knows that brunettes have more fun Ayame." Kikyou called from across the room.

"Too bad she's a fake brunette." Sango muttered savagely from under her breath.

They smiled in agreement and then looked to Rin with puzzled looks. "What aren't you freaking out like the rest of us?" they asked together.

"Because I don't understand what the bug deal is about Inuyasha's older brother. He gave me a ride home from school yesterday, he seems as normal as the rest of us." she said with a quizzical expression. And then the bell rang.

XOXO

By the end of the school day, Rin had become public enemy number one. For starters, she had no idea why Sesshomaru was so special, which many girls thought was an insult. They were also all mad that she had actually got to ride in his car, and wasn't bragging about it. Rin became annoyed at hearing that, because she figured they'd all be mad at her for bragging about it. To make things even worse, Inuyasha still wasn't talking to her, or maybe it was the other way around. It was hard for her to keep track of those type of things.

So, when the last bell of the day rang, Rin was one of the last people out of the room. She didn't fancy people pelting her with questions about the 'Great Sesshomaru'. He just seemed like a normal person to her, yes, a super hot person, but a person nonetheless.

Rin walked down the nearly empty corridor and hummed to herself. She kind of liked being alone, there was no one to listen to, and no one to bother her either. All of a sudden, a strong arm grabbed her by the waist and another hand came over her mouth so she couldn't scream. The person, who she figured was a guy, dragged her into one of the janitors closets and flipped on the light switch.

He turned her around and muttered, "Please, don't scream, I promise I don't bite."

HA! Well, this chapter is over and done with. I thought it was pretty good for a beginning and I hope you guys like it to! Review please! I LOVE YOU!
