"When Love and Hate Combine"
Chapter 2
Normal POV
The Populars were sitting in their usual spot in the cafeteria. Most of the girls were drooling over them, as usual, but they didn't really care. Fan girls were only toys for them; they used them then tossed them. It wasn't a big deal either, because the fan girls seemed okay with it.
Then, they saw the girls who despised them so much walked into the cafeteria, talking and laughing with each other. Hm, what prank should they pull on the girls today? Inuyasha, being the sly one always came up with a good idea. He looked at the petite raven haired girl with a smirk and then glanced over to his brother with the smirk still planted on his face.
"Why the hell are you looking at me like that?" Sesshomaru asked his half-brother in annoyance.
"Sessh…I have a bet for you." Inuyasha said to the Inuyoukai.
"I'm not interested in any of your bets nor your pranks." Sesshomaru replied with a sigh.
"Chicken, huh?" Koga teased the dog demon.
"No, state the bet!" Sesshomaru growled. He wasn't a wimp; he would show that to his brother and the rest of members of the gang.
"If you can make Rin fall in love with you within a month, without falling for her, I'll get my grade in business class up to an A." Inuyasha stated the bet.
"Deal," Sessh said to his brother with a slight shrug before they shook their hands. Even if he had no interest in pranking the girl it was a great opportunity to make Inuyasha get his grades up, and Sesshomaru couldn't pass that up. Inuyasha hated his business class so much. Sesshomaru and his father tried to convince him to try harder but it always failed to register in Inuyasha's mind.
Soon it was time to the next class; Rin had gym along with Sango. At first they enjoyed this class so much but then two members of the Populars, Sesshomaru and Miroku, joined the class.. They walked to the girls locker room and changed into their gym uniforms before walking into the gym.
"Okay, attention guys!" The gym teacher yelled loudly to get the attention of the students. "Thank you." The gym teacher said when the students stopped talking and turned to him.
"Today we're going to have a three legged race." The teacher said as some of the students groaned. It was one of the stupidest things to do in gym class. You have to run along the track with one of your feet tied to your partner's. Thus the name, three legged race.
"I'll call the pairs!" The teacher spoke with amusement on his face, ignoring the protest from the students.
"Miroku - Sango." Miroku walked over to Sango and threw his arm over her shoulder in joy while Sango groaned in annoyance, prepared to hit the pervert.
"Aoi - Maya." The teacher called the pair names until it was only four people left.
"Sesshomaru - Rin." The teacher called. Rin froze and just turned to Sesshomaru. Rin finally snapped out of her trance.
"Last, Jo - Yuki."
"Mr. Kaguya, can't I be with Jo instead?" Rin asked her gym teacher immediately, not wanting to be paired with the inuyoukai.
"Nope, my pairings are always final." Mr. Kaguya replied.
"But... But..." Rin couldn't protest any longer because the teacher had gone and waited on the start line. Rin turned to Sesshomaru and groaned before walking over to him. He glanced at her and kneeled down suddenly to tie their feet together. Great, now she has to run with an Inuyoukai who was god knows how much faster than she is.
"Ready, set, go!" The teacher yelled and Rin could feel that she was being dragged by the demon, she was going to end up falling.
"Argh, slowly, you're going to make me fall you asshole!" Rin screamed while running.
"Shut up, human!" The demon growled back while dragging the human girl faster than before.
They arrived at the finish line first, a second faster than Miroku and Sango. Rin panted hard, trying to catch her breath. 'Damn you, Sesshomaru!' Rin yelled inside her brain. Sango approached her best friend and giggled, she knew that the Inuyoukai's pride wouldn't allow him to lose on any match and she pitied her friend because of it.
After racing a few more times and resting for a while, Rin and Sango left the gym and headed to the girls locker room0\. They needed to change for the next class, thanks god. Both of the girls took a quick shower and dried themselves before putting on their casual clothes again. Rin said goodbye to her best friend and they both went their separate ways. Rin had business class while Sango had chemistry.
Once she stepped inside the classroom, she spotted her usual chair beside the windows and sat down; waiting for the bell to ring. She saw Sesshomaru and his gang walk into the classroom and she sent him a deathly glare. The demon raised his eyebrow when he saw the glare and completely underestimated the petite girl.
Higurashi Kagome ran to the classroom and sighed. Nice job, she thought she would come late again. She walked in and groaned, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were sitting in the seats behind Rin and hers. The rest of the 'popular' gang was with them too. Great, this is just so great. She hated him with passion, just because they were popular and rich they thought they could do anything! They didn't know about a thing called morals, did they?
She walked into her spot silently and glanced at Rin, who looked uncomfortable too. Should they move? No, if they moved, it would the populars feel superior. If they didn't move, god knows what would they do to them today? They cut Kagome's hair last week and she got a detention for yelling at them.
Rin got the detention as well because she defended her friend, life could be so unfair! Rin saw her best friend and greeted her before brought out her notes and gave it to the taller raven girl.
"What is this?" Kagome asked her best friend when she received the notes.
"The information for our art project idea, remember?" Rin said.
"Ah, yes, sorry I forget about that." Kagome said when she remembered the project.
The art project due in a week, they still had a long times but Rin, being the intelligent one, finished her part already and she only needed to wait for Kags part to made it complete. The project was to paint on a blank puzzle and made it become a full color puzzle.
Inuyasha saw Rin gave Kagome a note, he quickly grabbed it from Kagome's hand before she could put it into her bag pack.
"Give it back!" Kags yelled out in frustration.
"No, why should I?" The hanyou said and opened the notes, he thought it was a diary or something like that but froze when he saw the sketch. It was a gorgeous scene of sunset.
Kagome tried to reach back the notes but ripped it in the process because Inuyasha refused to give it and pulled the notes harder but stopped when he heard ripped voice. Ooh...
Kagome and Rin frown at the scene, their school project was ripped in front of their eyes. Rin froze. All that hard work completely wasted, ruined. Hot tears ran down her beautiful face. Kagome couldn't hold her anger any longer as she snapped at the hanyou.
"You! This is the final straw. You can prank me all you want, just don't interfere with my school work. Thanks to you now we have to redo everything!" Kagome screamed as she grabbed the other piece of the paper from Inuyasha's hand and stormed out from the class, grabbing Rin and dragging her along.
Both of the young women were frustrated, it wasn't easy to make that project yet it was so easy for that insufferable half demon to ruin it in less than a second. They walked through the hallway that led them to the library, the Populars wouldn't be caught dead in the library, so they were safe from the. The women sat down at a table and looked at the damage Inuyasha made to the sketch. It was ripped into two pieces and you could barely recognize the image anymore because Inuyasha smudged it. Rin sighed, she would need to redo everything.
"I'm sorry, Rin." Kagome spoke up.
"It's okay…it's not your fault." Rin said, trying to ease Kagome's guilt.
"Let's skip the rest of our classes and do the project. Is that okay with you?" Kagome asked the petite girl beside her. It wasn't like they didn't do at home, but both of them had to work to pay their rent and school fees. Their life was different from the Populars who could hang out with friends at all times.
Rin nodded her head in approval, they couldn't waste a minute. She took out another blank paper and drew the scenery again. Two hours later, Rin and Kagome had both finished their sketches and then they combined them and Rin began to sketch the scene on the puzzle. Kagome prepared the paint and began to paint it slowly.
After another long hour, they had finished half of the puzzle pieces. They were both satisfied with what they accomplished in the past few hours. Kagome and Rin gathered their things before the school bell rang, and then went to their lockers to get all their stuff and go home. Rin waited for the paint to dry before putting it carefully into her bag.
"Kags, Rin!" Sango yelled as both of the women stopped and turned around.
"Sup?" Kagome asked when Sango approached her.
"Where were you, you weren't there during last period!" Sango exclaimed, she hated her last period, Miroku and Koga were there and both of them were so annoying during the whole class. Miroku just kept trying to flirt with her!
"Inuyasha ripped our art project so Rin and I had to redo everything at the library." Kagome replied to her best friend with a scowl on her face. The next time she saw that goddamn hanyou again she would rip his dog ears off!
"Rin," A cold, deep voice spoke suddenly from behind of them and made the three women jump. Rin turned her body and turned to meet the gaze of Sesshomaru, the idiot who tortured her in gym class this morning.
"What do you want, Takahashi?" Rin asked in slight annoyance, she didn't need another popular destroying her mood and ruining her life.
"I want to apologize for the imbecile I call my half-brother. He's always an idiot." Sesshomaru said, not letting any emotions show on his face. Rin rolled her eyes.
"Just forget it. You don't need to apologize for him." Rin said as she grabbed both of her best friends hand and walked away from the Inuyoukai.
Sesshomaru sighed and walked towards the three friends before throwing Rin over his shoulder and kidnapping her away from her friends. Kagome and Sango froze in their spot and looked at the now running demon, the two girls were too slow and lost sight of him soon enough. Rin struggled in his strong grip but she ended up hurting herself more than him. She pouted and crossed her arms.
He carried her upstairs to the rooftop and Sesshomaru finally let her down. Rin glared at the demon and Sesshomaru just started at her with his usual emotionless stare. Rin wanted nothing more than to hurt him right now, although Sesshomaru would definitely win if they were to fight.
"What do you want?" Rin asked, finally letting her curiosity get the best of her.
"I want to apologize." Sesshomaru replied.
"I told you to forget it, didn't I?" Rin snapped and continued to glare at the strong demon standing in front of her.
"I meant it, I apologize for his behavior. Inuyasha can be a complete idiot at times, and he doesn't realize how annoying he is." Sesshomaru spoke calmly, completely hiding his annoyance of the girl.
"Okay, I accept your apology, are you happy now?" Rin said to the Inuyoukai, rolling her eyes.
"Yes." Sesshomaru replied before jumping off the side of the rooftop leaving Rin alone. Rin gasped and without thinking, ran to see if he was okay. She saw Sesshomaru walking to his car with his hands in his pockets.
Rin groaned and went back downstairs, Kagome seemed to be gone. At least she wasn't too worried about Rin. She started rushing to the apartment and called Kagome on her way there..
"Hello." Kags greeted.
"Kags, it's Rin." Rin said.
"Oh god, Rin where are you? Did that perverted bastard do anything to you?" Kags asked worriedly.
"No, I'm okay. I'm on my way to the apartment right now." Rin replied. Kagome said goodbye before Rin disconnected.
Rin definitely needed a fresh shower to cool down her angry and tensed body. Screw the Populars and their annoying superior attitude!
Sesshomaru arrived at his home later and saw his half brother laid on the couch, watching TV. He walked past him and was headed to his room when Inuyasha turned to him.
"Remember about our bet, one month starts tomorrow!" The half-breed said with a smirk from where he was sitting on the couch, his attention went back to the show he was watching. Sesshomaru chuckled and glanced at his half-brother before going upstairs. This was going to be unbelievably easy; Rin wouldn't know what hit her.
