Disclaimer: this will be my only disclaimer for the story. I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters. I am also basing this story on my most favorite book ever" The wind Blows backwards" by Mary Downing Hahn. And my version will be very similar.
Warning: Sess is quite OC and Rin maybe a little. Also there will be some content that will be inappropriate for those who are under 16. So read at your own risk.
Summary: In eight grade Sesshomaru was Rin's friend, but when they entered highschool, he threw himself into sports and surrounded himself with new friends, the very people who made Rin's life miserable in middle school. Sr year, he walks back into her life with a deep dark secret involving his past. She is what is keeping him alive.
Chapter One
One February afternoon, I was leaning against a cart piled high with books and leafing through a book of poetry. Ah, my idea of paradise, giving me a job in the library was like giving an alcoholic a job a bar.
Feeling devious, I made sure that Ms. Kaede wasn't around, if she had caught me again I would be put on suspension. "Well, isn't it Mouse? " 'Mouse' had been the nickname I was given in high school, mostly because I was shy and the tips of my ears were pink. Where can I find Robert Frost?" I wanted to say buried 6 feet under somewhere in New England.
"Lay off Kagura." Oh my god, it was Sesshomaru. He was my best friend in Middle school. When I had stepped into class for the advanced people, I was immediately shunned. I wasn't pretty like Kagura, she was the popular one in school and the one that everyone wanted to be like.
Soon I had met Sesshomaru, and we had found out that we like reading, we read trilogy after trilogy and we'd discuss them. But in high school things changed, he grew taller, and he joined the track team. And slowly we had grown apart. I had faded into the background and it hurt to seen him, when he wouldn't even acknowledge my existence. I went through a lot of tissue boxes that year.
"So where is Robert Frost," Kagura sighed with impatience. I tiptoed to reach a book of his poetry when my hand brushed against Sesshomaru when he went to reach for the same book. I immediately pulled my hand back. Kagura shifted her weight from one hip to the other and made an annoyed sigh saying that she, Kagura, had better things to do than spend a Saturday in the library.
"I'll meet you at the front desk in ten minutes." She lifted her wrist to check the time leaving me alone with him. "So have you decided what you're going to do for Mr. Myoga's Poetry assignment?"
"I've decided to do "A certain slant of light." I said avoiding his eyes.
"I've decided to do "stopping by the woods on a snwy evening." He went on rambling on about the imagery and what he thought of it. Sensing that I wasn't paying much attention to him, he said somewhat sarcastically, "It was nice talking to you again." And he was off. As soon as he left I had thought of so many witty remarks that I should have said. I had missed my chance and he would begin to ignore me again.
Suddenly, Ms. Kaede came in saying, "haven't you already finished with those yet, I still have you to shelf the children's books and you need to clean up the mess there. I expect she thought that it was some sort of punishment, but I still enjoyed the adventures of Madeline and Little Bear. This was an added benefit.
