Author note: This story is dedicated to my best friend Onik21. She's waiting for this story since last spring. I was such a bad friend but finally I could decide on the plot – my previous two attempts ended up being brutally erased.

Like I have promised, Onik this is the bonus for your birthday present– I hope you would like it.

The beginning of this story in my opinion is kind of heavy but please bear with me – everything would make sense in the end.

I do not know when I would post chapter two since my beta is busy, and we have an agreement to finish my other story first. But while my beta would do her job on the other story I would write at this one.

However when my other story would end I would have a steady pace.

Chapter One

She always hated the first day of the new school year. Students were forced to attend an assembly, listening to some old man director about their hopes – the teachers' hopes - for a better year than the last one and the lot of prizes brought to the school by their former eminent students. The director expressed his wish to have part of the same success in this new school year, too.

It was a pain. So after the assembly took its end, she hurried to the place where she thought she could find some quiet time: the bathroom.

Her solitude was interrupted by familiar voices. In the past, she would have hurried to speak with them, but now, since for months now, they have been former friends of hers, she stayed quiet where she was and let their voices disturb the silence she sought for.

"We had a date yesterday." She could recognize whom the voice belonged to: her former friend, Kagome. "We met in Shibuya Station, and from there we left to go see a movie. We watched a comedy movie."

"Tell me more." This new voice belonged to her former friend, Sango.

"After the movie, we went to dinner. We took a beautiful walk in the park while holding hands. His hand was strong, like he didn't want me to separate from him, not even for a moment." Rin did not see her face but from what she could tell from listening to the tone of her voice, her former friend's cheeks were probably crimson red. She was so predictable.

"That's all? You just had dinner and went home?"

"Of course not. We kissed." Her cheeks couldn't have gotten any redder than they already were. "Before saying good night, in front of my house, he kissed me."

"Tell me about it! Is he a good kisser? Come on! How does he kiss?"

"How? What do you mean? Don't all guys kiss the same?"

"Of course not. Different guys have different kissing techniques. That is what I've heard. I've kissed only one man, and I haven't explored any other mouth in my entire life."

"Sango, since when do you have such a vulgar vocabulary? It seems like you spending time with Miroku has been affecting you, and your speech has fallen as a victim."

"My speech isn't the problem here. So tell me…did he use his tongue when he kissed you?"

Kagome blush a crimson red. "Yes," was her only answer. She was too embarrassed to go into the details, but her friend couldn't control her curiosity. She wanted more than a single-word reply.

"And how was it? Were you surprised when you felt his tongue? Did you respond to him?"

"Well," she buried her face onto her hands – she was way too embarrassed to let someone see her flushed face. "I had been surprised at first, but then I mimicked his tongue motions. In my entire life, I've never felt something so strong, so hot within me. It was like I wasn't me when he kissed me."

"I understand you. I felt the same when Miroku kissed me like that for the first time. But I guessed you would change your mind when you passed the kissing phase. New and stronger sensations will go through your body, you will feel your body weaken, numb, and his skillful hands will bring pleasure to every part of you."

When Rin heard her friend talk her mouth opened wide in surprise. She was surprised to hear her former friend talking with so much ease about her first night. At least she could have this conversation in the privacy of her room, not in the school restroom.

"Wait! Did you have…" Kagome couldn't say the word. "Were you intimate with Miroku?" she whispered the questions.

A rouge color formed on her pale cheeks. "Yes, Miroku and I made love last weekend. It happened to be alone in his room. We didn't plan to do it. It was just the heated kiss that led us to do more than we were, and it felt great."

The huge hole that was Rin's mouth closed. She surprised herself for being able to keep silent while she 'secretly' heard that intimate confession.

"I want to hear more about your first time, but not now. Later, in your room. By the way, have you heard that Tanaka-san took a leave? I had heard she's on maternity leave – it's surprising who would have slept with that bitter woman and fathered her a child. But anyway, I had heard she's replaced by some man named Taishou Sesshomaru."

Rin sighed in relief when she heard the news – she disliked that woman as well.

"I never liked Tanaka-san. She was such a bitter woman. I can't imagine her being with a man – holding hands, not saying having sexual intercourse."

"Yeah, me neither. It's so strange."

"Who did you hear it from?"

"From Inuyasha while we were eating dinner. He said he's sure of it. However he didn't sound pleased with our new math teacher, maybe because he's his older brother."

"I heard about Inuyasha's brother from Miroku. They're half-brothers. I heard that he dislikes Inuyasha because he's a hanyou. They never were on good terms. Also, I've heard he's very handsome. Miroku told me every woman turns her head when he passes by."

"I don't know about that. No one is more handsome than Inuyasha. Maybe Sesshomaru is a full inu-youkai and Inuyasha's a hanyou, but Sesshomaru will never have Inuyasha's candid heart. I am glad Inuyasha isn't a full inu-youkai."

"I've also heard that he dislike humans. He thinks of them as low-life beings. I doubt he's pleased teaching math in a place where half of the students are human. I hope he can stand the stench, since his nose is sensitive. Maybe Tanaka-san would have been better."

For centuries, humans and youkais fought between each other - youkais for power, and humans to protect their own lives. After centuries of continued battle, they tried to reach an agreement – they had signed a peace treaty.

To change each other's point of view, and head the young ones into a nice co-existence, they created co-ed schools for humans and youkais.

Rin, Sango and Kagome were enrolled into that kind of school, Shikon-no-Tama Academy. Their classmates were humans and youkais, as well as the teachers.

The ring of the school bell stopped the two girl's conversation. When Rin felt she was alone again, she left her place of refuge and the restroom as well. On her way to class, she wondered about the new math teacher.

She knew Inuyasha very well. He wasn't a bad person – he just had a bad mouth and he didn't know when to shut up. Rin found him silly – he never learned his lesson. And this was the reason why she wanted to meet the new teacher – how different could two siblings be?

She sat quietly in her seat, waiting for the new teacher to come in. When he entered the classroom, her breath stopped in her throat.

He was tall. His hair was long and silver. On his forehead he had a blue crescent moon, and two magenta stripes on each of his cheeks. His eyes were an amber-pure color, but at the same time she could feel the coldness within them.

She strangely felt attracted to him. She didn't know why.

"My name is Sesshomaru Taishou." His voice was low, grave and cold; there was too much ice in his voice. "And I am your new math teacher. Before starting our class, I must inform you about this Sesshomaru's rules. You'll do well to respect them. One. You will speak when you're asked. Two. You do not come in late to this Sesshomaru's class. If you're, late it's better to not come in at all – This Sesshomaru does not tolerate tardiness. Three. When the class begins, your cell phones should be on silent or turned off. Four. You will always do your homework – this Sesshomaru does not tolerate stupidity. That's all. Do you have any questions?"

A raven-haired girl lifted her hand. "Sensei, how old are you? Do you have a girlfriend?" Her name was Kaze Kagura. The moment she spotted him on academy's grounds she wanted to know more about the man.

Sesshomaru turned his cold look towards the girl. The rest of the students froze in their seats.

"This Sesshomaru is not interested in low-class demons such as yourself. I have no intention of chatting about age or personal life with a low-class demon such as yourself. Do you have any questions related to math?"

"No." his students answered. The last thing they wanted to do was to anger this full-ino-youkai demon.

Even if his eyes and words were cold, Rin Takahashi couldn't keep her eyes away from him. The more she stayed in the same room with him the more she felt dozen of wires keeping her eyes on this person.

It was a feeling she never felt before. If she told someone that she was attracted to him, she would be labeled as a masochist.

Maybe she was one. What woman would keep staring at him during classes, and never feel frightened by him when all he did was scare the hell out of people; being them humans or youkais?

"Where am I?" moments ago Rin was in her bed struggling to fall asleep. She felt her eyes getting heavy and she thought she was about to fall asleep, but suddenly she was floating above an odd building. Her body descended from the sky, passing through the roof.

In a way, she was excited; she always wished for the power to fly, and passing through walls…she felt like she could do magic and could do anything at all. She felt like she could spy, finding out more secrets.

She was passing through the walls, running to find out the secrets that this house kept. She heard voices coming from somewhere beneath. Rin let her body fall to the ground passing through the floor.

Seven men with black hoods stayed in circle around a wooden, white table. In the middle of it with each of their words passing through their lips different images played. Rin's body descended closer to hear their words.

"Born from dark."

A man with a scythe played on the background.

"And born from light"

A woman with priestess clothes played in the background joining the tall, black-haired man.

"The blessing child

Will come to life."

The man and the woman Rin was looking at kissed; what she saw next forced her to cover her eyes with her hands. The next thing she heard was the cry of a child. Unconsciously she stepped closer to those mysterious men to get a better view of the table they watched with so much concern.

"Light and dark will reunite."

The man and woman she previously saw were replaced by another couple. A man with long, silver hair held tightly in his arms a petite, dark haired woman. He was kissing her passionately. Rin wanted to turn her eyes; she changed her mind when she saw the woman and man's face.

"As one under the moonlight."

It was her; she was held by the arms of her new math teacher. His soft mouth held captive hers. His hands found their ways under her clothes giving her pleasure. That woman's face, her face, was slightly crimson; her eyes were hazy, lustful, filled with desire. Her arms snaked around his neck keeping his strong body closer to her petite one.

"And the pace they sought

…."

She couldn't hear them anymore. Her vision blurred, and those men disappeared into the fog which covered her brown eyes. She found herself being alone into a deserted place. She wasn't in the house anymore, and the place she was currently staying was voided of life.

Rin was scared. She was alone in a deserted, frightening place. Her life was empty too; no friends she could go and talk to, or have fun with them; no loving parents who would watch over her when she was sick. Her life was voided; a replica of the place she was currently in.

Tears flooded from her eyes down on her cheeks. Her mouth opened slightly whispering the only word she wanted to say since a long time ago: "HELP".

Her eyes hurt; the bright light of the sun was too strong this morning. Slowly, she opened her eyes. Rin turned her head to the side looking at the watch; it was 7AM.

She felt her body getting heavy, like she couldn't rest last night. She looked in the small mirror near her and saw the dark circles around her eyes.

"Another restless night." She sighed in defeat. It wasn't the first time she couldn't rest during the night. "I guess I'll just chug a lot of coffee today as well."

Rin sat up from her bed heading straight to the shower. While she carefully washed her body, images of her new teacher flooded her mind. Thinking about him, a warm feeling filled her empty being.

Images of her dream came back into her mind. Their bodies were locked together as one, his bare skin touched hers, his soft lips held her captive. Her limbs were snaked around his torso and neck. Remembering only these dreams made her body feel hot, desiring him.

His pure, amber eyes drew her closer to him. When she thought about him, she couldn't think straight anymore. His cold voice… she found it seductive. His cold eyes… she found them lustful.

A small smile formed on her lips. She had fallen for him at first sight.
