I do not own any characters

Rin sighed, today was her first day as a Junior in high school. She was excited to see Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha again, but she was not excited about meeting her teachers. She was always scared of who was going to be in her new classes, or if she was going to like the teacher or not. She hasn't had the best history with her teachers in the past.

Rin smiled in the mirror and honored the uniform that fitted perfectly on her body. She was wearing a skirt that went to mid thigh, socks that went up just above her knees, and a white button up shirt that was rolled up to her elbows and was layered on top of a light tan vest. Her hair was done and done neatly, and she had her shoes down stairs, waiting patiently to be placed on.

"Rin, get down here please!" She heard her cousin, Jaken, yell from downstairs. Rin let out a nervous, shaky breath and grabbed her bag. Waltzing down the stairs, holding onto the railing with a deadly grip, she was nervous.

When she erupted in the kitchen, she quickly grabbed a piece of toast and an apple for the run, she didn't want to be late for school.

"Hold up, Rin, you almost forgot your lunch." Jaken stopped her. She smiled and grabbed her bento, gently placing it in her bag carful not to crush her papers.

Jaken was a man in his 30s with the height of 5'10 and short brown hair, died a light green on the tips, and had the brightest green eyes Rin had ever seen in her life. He was Rin's cousin and legal guardian since her parents died from being mauled by a bear on a hunting trip.

"Thanks, Jaken." She said with a kind smile.

He looked like he was going to cry, "My baby cousin is going to a junior!" He gushed. She rolled her eyes and chuckled lightly.

"Yeah, and soon, I'm going to be headed to college soon after." She spoke with excitement. Rin was always excited to head for college, yet, she was always nervous about what college she was going to try and apply for, and also nervous if she was going to stay with Jaken, or take a dorm at the college.

Jaken covered his mouth, "Stop it, Rin. You're going to make me cry more." He said pushing Rin to her shoes.

She laughed and placed her shoes on, giving Jaken a hug and a kiss. She then started walking towards Kagome's house. Ready to say good morning and hello to her.

The walk to Kagome's was very short, but pleasing. It was around a 5 minute walk, but it wa pleasing to see the trees shed their dead leaves to the ground.

Rin knocked on Kagome's door, having it swung open to reveal Sota.

She beamed, "Hey, Sota!" She said with happiness. Sota was about her age, but younger. He was around 13.

"Hey, Rin. You here for Kagome?" He asked with a smile. Rin nodded, as Sota invited her in. He said he'll go get Kagome.

She walked into the kitchen and saw her grandpa, "Ah, Rin. Always a pleasure to see you." He said giving her a hug, along with her mom.

"Same to you guys." She sat down next to Kagome's grandfather as he was unboxing some kind of keychains with a circular different colored jewels handing from them. She smiled at the beauty of the jewels.

A few minutes later, Rin heard footsteps coming towards her and she grinned when she saw Kagome standing there with the same grin.

"Hey, Kagome!" Rin beamed standing up, she gave her a hug that Kagome gladly took. "How was your morning?" She asked as Kagome took her own breakfast and placed her bento in her lunch.

Kagome groaned happily, "It wasn't so bad as it was a last year, but it definitely wasn't my best mornings."

Rin smirked, "Did Inuyasha wake you up?" She wiggles her eyebrows suggesting something. Inuyasha has started waking Kagome ever since he got her number, always calling her at 6:00AM so that she could get ready.

Kagome blushed, "Uh-yes." She mumbled.

Rin squealed quietly, "You guys are so cute, why don't you two just get together already?" She asks nudging her shoulder.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Bye mom! I'm off!" She announces slipping on her shoes. The two ladies then started walking towards Sango's house.

Rin didn't push Kagome about Inuyasha. Wince she knows exactly why they aren't together, it's because Inuyasha is being a stupid idiot and is having a difficult time choosing between Kikyo and Kagome.

Inuyasha does love Kagome, but, the fun times he had Kikyo makes him love Kikyo too. Even if she doesn't love him back. Rin always feels furious about him, and is always yelling at Sesshomaru to try and make him choose, but he always never cares.

Kagome is also always heartbroken when Inuyasha chooses Kikyo over Kagome. He's done it so many times she wonders why she still has feelings for him. She doesn't want to abandon him though, I guess she's way more attached to him than she thought.

Kagome knocked on the door and Rin realized that the two girls were at Sango's house. Sango opened up the door and yelled a goodbye to her mom and Kohaku, and walked with us.

The three girls then started talking about the fun things they did over the summer, and Kagome and Sango gushed about the times they spent with the boys, Miroku and Inuyasha, Kagome even says that she spent time with Koga this summer too. She says it was fun and eventful, she got to meet his dogs and his family.

Rin was slightly jealous how Kagome and Sango has guys to actually spend time with, the only guys Rin ever communicates with is Inuyasha, Miroku, and Jaken. She would count Sesshomaru, but he hardly counts since he doesn't communicate with her, it's more of Rin gushing about something and then yelling at Sesshomaru for not listening.

Rin's smile drops when she saw the entrance of the school. "Oh boy." She muttered, and reached for Sango's and Kagome's hand. They gladly took it, the two both feeling as nervous as Rin was.

Rin gulped down her nerves and walked towards building, practically getting dragged by Sango and Kagome, as Rin didn't want to go. Regretting not lying to Jaken about being sick.

She only stopped fighting Kagome and Sango when she stepped foot in the building.

"Gods save me." She mumbled to her in fear. She knew she had home room with Kagome, so she walked with her. Trailing behind her like a lost puppy, giving Sango a hug and a good luck before they departured.

The crowd was overwhelming. Yes, she was a little early. So, there shouldn't be such a huge crowd, but, since it's the first day of school, everyone wants to be early, and everyone wants to have a good first impression.

All for except Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

Rin sighed and closed her eyes, still walking and never stopping. She regretted closing her eyes because, she immediately bumped into a hard wall-chest more likely.

Rin tumbled to the ground with an "Oof!" And landed on her bag, wincing when she felt her bento dig into her back.

"Ow..." she groaned rubbing her back.

"Watch where you're going." She heard a deep, intimidating voice say. Rin opened her eyes and narrowed them at the white haired boy in front of her.

"Watch where you're going." She shot back.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and crouched next to the small girl on the ground, "I wasn't the one walking with their eyes closed." He glared at Rin and stood up, "Keep your eyes and ears open, girl."

Sesshomaru then walked away, "My name is Rin!" She shouted at his figure. She let out a huff when he disappeared in the crowd.
