Desk - manga inspired

"In order to get the value of X, you have to transpose the numerical value on the left side of the equation to the right side or vice versa, so long as X stands alone." The teacher stood in front of the class, his hands on both side of the table while he hovered over the book. Once he was done stating the first step, he went to the board and demonstrated it.

"And remember to change the positive to negative and vice versa of the numerical value you transposed."

Young Rin Ieiri who was writing down her notes suddenly felt bored. Moving her notebook a bit to the side, she wrote on her table.

HELLO

She sighed, looking at the clock, noting that there was still an hour to go before class ended. Going back to her work, a new writing on the desk caught her attention.

WHO ARE YOU?

She slighty jolted from her chair, causing a few weird glances from her classmates. She shook her head to ward off the embarrassment.

"Ieiri-san, is there a problem?" Her teacher asked, his hand were on the board, in the middle of writing down the problem.

"N-nothing sensei!" She squeaked.

Sensei said nothing and eventually went back to writing on the board. Rin was relieved, turning back her attention to the desk, she immediately wrote back.

RIN IEIRI

YOU?

As soon as she wrote her piece, letters were appearing on the desk by itself. She couldn't believe her eyes!

SESSHOMARU

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Looking to the side, Rin made sure that no one was actually playing a prank on her. Seeing that everyone was too focused on the problem, she concluded that it wasn't a prank.

TOKYO

JINSEI HIGH

YOU?

SAME AS YOU, BUT I DONT KNOW ANYONE WITH THE NAME RIN IEIRI HERE.

"Well there isn't anyone named Sesshomaru here in this school either." She thought to herself. They then exchanged messages on how their school and classroom looked like. After few minutes went by when she didn't reply, a new writing appeared.

WHAT DATE IS IT THERE?

MARCH 1 2017.

HOW ABOUT YOURS?

YOURE FROM THE FUTURE?

ITS ONLY JULY 24, 2010 HERE.

Rin huffed, clearly not getting amused anymore. From the past? What a joke! She wrote a reply back.

I DONT BELIEVE YOU

PROVE IT OR YOURE LYING

That will show Sesshomaru! Or whoever he really was. She passed her paper to the front, finishing the task that sensei had given out.

I WROTE SOMETHING ON LOCKER 28. CHECK IT OUT.

She glanced back to the small lockers behind her classroom. Her locker was number 28! She would have to check it out later.

After the class was dismissed, she declined to go and eat with her friends, mentioning that she had something else to do. She immediately ran towards her locker number.

When she peeked inside, she didn't see anything. Putting her hands inside the locker, she tried to cope a feel, she felt some carvings on the top of the small space and used her cellphone to light the dark space.

RIN IEIRI 7/24/2010

She gasped, pulling back from the shock that coursed through her body, she ran back to her desk and wrote.

I SAW WHAT YOU WROTE!

YOURE REAL! HOW CAN I SEE YOU? HOW CAN WE MEET?

I DONT KNOW!

Rin pouted, trying to find a way to meet this mysterious person.

A DATE.

He wrote back.

WHEN? WHERE?

HERE IN THIS CLASSROOM. MARCH 1, 2022. WE'LL MEET HERE.

BUT THAT'S TOO LONG!

JUST TRUST ME OKAY?

WILL WE STILL BE ABLE TO TALK HERE?

She wrote back, but even after 20 minutes had pass, no reply came. The next day came by quickly and she tried to initiate the conversation with her mystery friend.

HEY

She pouted, several face expression happening in her face every 5 minutes or so. Some of her friends have been teasing her that she was in love, which she denied immediately. The small ruckus takes the attention of sensei.

"Ieiri-san and company. Is there a problem?"

"No-nothing sensei! I'm sorry."

"Get back to your work. Another noise will not be tolerated."

"H-hai sensei..." She blushed, mortified that sensei had scolded her.

She looked down on her desk, and still no reply came.

Five years came by very quickly, Rin had graduated with a degree in secondary education majoring in mathematics. She came back to her old school and had applied for a teaching position there.

She smiled to herself as she walked by the empty after class hallway. It was March 1, 2022. She had kept the date burned in her memories in hopes of meeting her mystery friend.

But worry was also in her heart, what if Sesshomaru had forgotten? Was she so childish that she really hoped she'd meet him someday? Well, there was nothing to lose now, if he doesn't show up then... then there was nothing to look forward to, she would have to move on after this childish event.

She stopped in front of the classroom where it began. Slowly sliding the door open, she was slightly disappointed to see no one inside. Still stepping inside, she moved to where she sat before.

She stood there for a while, taking in the scenery of the classroom. She had remembered that day, sensei had taken notice of her unusual behavior and called out on her. That was also the day when her conversation with her mystery friend began and ended.

She went to the locker but noticed that there was a lock on it. She wondered if the student had notice the writing inside. She was so lost in her thought and had not heard the door open.

"Rin Ieiri." An oh so familiar voice spoke.

Rin whipped her head to the sound of the voice.

"S-sensei? What brings you here?"

What was sensei doing here?! She looked at him stupidly. She last heard that sensei had left teaching after she had graduated, but why was he here? He was still the same, his white silky hair that she used to admire before and the markings on his face. His amber eyes that she used to dream about.

He went closer to the window and leaned on it. Still handsome as ever, Rin thought.

"You forget so quickly Ieiri-san?" He said, looking down to the students who were leaving the school gates.

"Ummm..." She looked down, feeling as if she was in another dreadful recitation class of Sensei. He may look dashing and handsome with a nice personality, but he was more of a terrifying teacher really.

"Sesshomaru."

"W-what?!" She stammered, looking at him wide eyed. "Se-sensei is Sesshomaru?!"

"Hn." He suddenly moved towards her. Rin was still frozen on her spot. Her eyes followed him as he moved closer and closer until he was standing too near her.

"You never replied back, I thought you forgot about it." Rin started, feeling a bit too conscious that Sesshomaru was too close. She leaned on the locker behind her.

"I can say that to you as well. You never replied when I told you to trust me. I had wondered if you would really show up today." His amber eyes shifted slightly as he placed his hand to the locker, cornering her.

"But I did. Y-you never replied since then." She blushed looking down to the floor.

"Hn. Look at me." He used a finger to lift her face to his. Her face reddened as her eyes came to contact with his.

"You were so intent on meeting me before, what happened now?"

"It just came as a surprise..." She weakly whispered then she suddenly realized, Sensei was there when it had happened!

"Sen-" Sesshomaru look to her and nodded. "Yes, I was looking at you the whole time that happened. It was really bothering me. Couldn't you have tamed your expressions a bit? I think they were a bit too exaggerated." He smirked, seeing Rin blush once more.

"No way..."

"You grown up quite well Rin. I'm proud of you." He moved closer to her face, he waited for her to push him away but she didn't.

His lips touched her briefly, but when she didn't respond he moved away quickly.

Rin was still shocked, barely noticing that Sesshomaru had already moved away from her. She still stood there, looking at him.

"It was nice meeting you, Rin." Sesshomaru said, he turned his back to her and was moving towards the exit.

"Sesshomaru!" She shouted. "W-when can I see you again?!"

"Anytime you wish to." He simply said.

"So can you stay a little bit longer?" She moved to him slowly.

"Why?"

"Because... because I want to be with you... I... I mean..." She was at lost for words, not knowing how to express her feelings. She fidgeted with her hands, refusing to look at her former teacher closing in on her.

"I see." He gave her his phone, a new contact form was on it. She looked at him questionably.

"Put your number here and we'll see from there." She nodded, taking the phone from him and typed in her number before returning it to him.

"How about I take you to dinner tonight?" He offered, hopeful that Rin would accept. He had waited for his day his entire life, meeting the mysterious future friend he had met through his desk.

"That would be great." Sesshomaru's mouth twitched slightly upwards, the most you can get as a smile.

"Shall we then?" He offered his hand to her which she accepted. Both of them walked out of the room hand in hand.

Hi, please don't forget to leave a review. I would really appreciate it.

Note: Rin was 16 that time as well as Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru with Rin (16) was at age 23.

5 years time: Rin (21) and Sesshomaru (28)

Did anyone guessed it was Sensei before they met?
