Chapter 3

Rin POV

Another day of college, to think I actually liked school before this. Damn it! I have to deal with those stupid Populars again today. Ugh, it's too much effort to try and ignore them because all four of those idiots were always bothering Kagome, Sango, Ayame and I.

Kags and I were currently eating our breakfast right now, our usual sandwich with milk. I was glad that at least our breakfast remained uninterrupted. The doorbell rang…well I guess I spoke too soon.

Kagome and I glanced at each other and shrugged, neither of us know who the visitor was, I mean who would come visit us at 7:30 in the morning. I stood up and opened the door, saw who the visitor was, and then proceeded to slam the door in their face before walking back to our small dining room and continuing to eat my sandwich. I ignored the doorbell and the annoying pounding on the door.

"Who was it, Rin?" Kags asked me, lifting up her plate and going to the kitchen to wash it. I did the same and followed her into the kitchen.

"Suikotsu," I replied, casually washing my plate.

"Really, what is he doing here?" Kags asked in disbelief.

"Who knows?" I replied shortly, didn't feel like talking about it and I knew Kagome would understand and drop it.

Kagome was the only person that knew about my past, we have been best friends since we were still in middle school. We know a lot about each other and it was easy to see how close we are, sometimes it shows so much that some people even mistake us for being sisters.

When I was still a junior on our high school, that bastard — Suikotsu — confessed to me and I said yes to him. I thought he was the one I would fall in love with, and we had great relationship that most girls were actually jealous of.

Suikotsu was a popular guy in high school; he and his six other brothers had been the schools most popular and most attractive boys. Girls were always drooling over them, and back then I was one of those stupid fan girls.

~~Flashback~~

It was Suikotsu and my three month anniversary, I was so happy today. He asked me out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants to celebrate our anniversary and I was more than happy to. I headed to my house and began the preparation for the date.

I decided to come over to his house and hang out with him a little before our date, but when I got there he was with another girl in the living room, I could see him clearly being romantic with the girl. I was shocked; he was actually kissing the girl so I knew she couldn't be a friend.

I calmed down and grabbed my phone and dialed his number. He looked pretty annoyed that his kisses with that girl were interrupted. I tried not to sound as disgusted and upset as I felt when he answered the phone.

"Where are you?" I asked him once he received it.

"Me? I'm at my house, preparing for our date tonight." He replied me casually like nothing had happened.

'Damn liar!" I yelled inwardly before disconnecting the call. I decided to wait until we were at the restaurant to confront him. I took a picture of Suikotsu and the girl and got to the restaurant in time for our date.

Once I arrived at the table I grabbed the cup of water that was sitting in front of him before dumping it on top of his head.

"What the hell Rin!" I took my phone out of my pocket and shoved my phone in his face, with the picture of him and that girl. Suikotsu looked shocked, to say the least.

"We are over, you asshole!" I shouted and walked away with confidence. I decided that it would be the first and last time I would ever get my heart broken. I didn't want to be in a relationship ever again. I couldn't trust boys ever again, they only brought you sadness and heartbreak.

~~End flashback~~

Since then I despised all popular boys I ever met. All of them were idiotic play boys that had no respect for women. I didn't drool over them anymore and I was never one of those stupid fan girls ever again. Those people that said high school was the best part of your life were complete idiots.

Normal POV

Takahashi Sesshomaru woke up and immediately got up and headed to the bathroom, he needed to take a relaxing shower and think about what he would do to make the petite raven girl fall for him. Should he become her friend? No, he couldn't allow himself to get close to her as well. Anyways Rin would definitely suspect something if he suddenly wanted to become her friend.

The Inuyoukai dressed into his usual casual attire once he finished his shower and headed to the dining room to eat the breakfast that had been prepared by the cooks. It was bacon with eggs with a mug of hot cappuccino. Across from him sat his younger brother, who was eating his breakfast like he hadn't eaten in days.

Their parents were on a business trip once again, which left Sesshomaru with the task of making sure Inuyasha didn't do anything stupid. They left this morning before both of the young masters woke up. One week alone with his little brother, god knows what would happen. He finished his breakfast and grabbed his car keys before leaving for school, abandoning his brother at home…Well it's just another annoying day with those idiotic fan girls.

He arrived at the school quickly and inwardly groaned when he saw all those fan girls screaming after they saw him. Sesshomaru ignored them and walked straight to his locker, continuing to ignore the girls screaming his name. Within seconds a girl from his business class walked past him and shoved a letter into his hand. Oh great, another confession that he would reject.

He shoved the letter into his locker and closed the door before he spotted Rin. She was alone without her friends but a boy was following her like a lost puppy. He couldn't possibly be a boyfriend because she seemed intent on ignoring him. Sesshomaru quickly decided to follow the girl silently, making sure she didn't notice him.

Rin wanted to scream, Suikotsu had been following her wherever she went, she was really trying to ignore the boy. Kagome had gone to the school office to take care of some paperwork and left her alone with this idiot. Couldn't he get the idea that she didn't want to talk to him. She couldn't take it anymore and she finally snapped at the boy.

"Can you stop following me?" Rin asked in annoyance once they were on a more private area of the college.

"No." Suikotsu replied with his hands casually in his pockets. Rin wanted to smack that smirk off his face. Stupid popular boys, they seemed to flock to Rin like a moth to a flame.

"What the hell is your problem?!" Rin shouted. Suikotsu shocked when he heard his ex-girlfriend curse, the Rin he knew was a shy little girl who couldn't say anything bad about anyone.

"I want to apologize for cheating on you two years ago. I've regretted it ever since and I know what I did was wrong, but I want you become my girlfriend again, will you?" Suikotsu confessed. He caught the girl off guard, who the hell did he think he was, waltzing in here and asking her to date him again after cheating on her.

"No." Rin answered the boy and walked past him when she was yanked over the wall by the man as he pressed his lips to hers harshly. His hands were tightly clenching Rin's waist and she was sure he was going to give her bruises. Rin tried to fight him but she couldn't do anything, he was stronger than her. She closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks.

A few moments passed and she no longer felt Suikotsu's lips on hers. She cautiously opened her eyes and saw the silver haired Inuyoukai push Suikotsu against the wall and nearly strangle the boy. Rin gasped in surprise as she ran to Sesshomaru, trying to stop him.

"Sesshomaru, stop it!" Rin finally just yelled. The demon stopped strangling her ex-boyfriend. Rin noticed that his eyes were tinted red. She sighed and thought Sesshomaru would just calmly walk away but what he did surprised her immensely. He pulled her close to his body and kissed her passionately on the lips. It was completely different than the kiss she just received from her ex, Sesshomaru's kiss really felt right, Rin melted into the kiss and moaned softly.

Sesshomaru reluctantly parted their lips before looking down at the weak boy on the ground. He was about to stand up and Sesshomaru glared at him. Suikotsu huffed and stood up, brushing himself off.

"Touch her again and you will pay!" Sesshomaru threatened the boy before he dragged the raven haired girl away from the boy and down the corridor.

Rin could feel the envious glares from the fan girls when they walked into her classroom, hand in hand. Though they didn't have first period together, Sesshomaru followed her until she arrived at her class before walking away, completely ignoring her. Well, she hadn't thanked him yet and he was gone already.

She sighed and walked to her usual seat beside her brown haired best friend, Ayame. Though when she walked to her seat she could feel many glares directed to her. Rin glanced around the room and saw that all the girls were sending her death glares.

She completely blamed Suikotsu for kissing her and the popular Sesshomaru for helping her. Although she was thankful about it, she really hated being the center of attention! Kagura, one of Sesshomaru's more obsessed fan girls approached her with a bottle of water. Kagura looked furious, maybe because the Inuyoukai completely ignored her?

Kagura opened the water bottle and dunked the contents on Rin's head and she was splashed by cold water. It didn't only make her clothes wet but also her books. She looked at Kagura in disbelief and ran outside with Ayame following her. Damn, nothing good comes from hanging around the Populars. Couldn't she have a peaceful life for once? Yesterday her school work was ripped by Inuyasha and now she's on Kagura's 'hit list'.

Rin ran to her locker and managed to find a set of clean clothes, thank god. Before she rushed to the girl restroom and changed, she saw the silver haired Inuyoukai and silently thanked him with a blush before continuing on her way to the bathroom.

Sesshomaru POV

I decided to skip my first period and walked to the library. It was always empty at this hour and I was glad of it, I spent most of my time here to avoid my fan girls. I bumped into the raven girl and she was wet! She mumbled a soft thank you before ran away, to the bathroom probably. I shrugged my shoulder and walked to the library, wanted to enjoy my alone time.

I arrived at the library, as I expected the library was empty. Yeah, because I skip my class while the others were in the middle of it so it was empty. I walked to the book shelf and found my favorite novel before pulled into and began to read it. I enjoyed reading books on my free time; it was more useful that pranking the girl wasn't it? I read it until the rest of my first period ended before put it back and walked out to my second class.

Rin POV

I had finished changing my clothes but decided to skip my class with Ayame. We went to our usual spot, the small picnic table under the Sakura tree on the school grounds. It was our favorite hangout on the entire campus. Kagome and I adored the beautiful pink flowers so much, even though they weren't my favorite. We sat on the chair and I took out my sketch book and began to draw while Ayame chatted on about something.

Inuyasha POV

My brother skipped the class, again. Seriously, when I skip class I get detention, but when he skips class he doesn't get in any trouble whatsoever because he has straight A's in this class. Screw him and his damn brain. I really hope he doesn't win this bet to make Rin fall in love with him; I don't want to get my grades up in stupid business class. Feh, what the hell was I saying, he would never be able to make her fall in love with him.

I was bored, the teacher lecturing about feudal era again. I inwardly asked myself why I took this class, until I remembered that Higurashi Kagome was in this class too. I just loved teasing her and getting her riled up. She sat two rows in front of me, ha! No fun!

I stared at board blankly, damn it, why is this class taking so long! I just can't wait till fourth period; I had business class with Kagome and her little friend, Rin. I had first, fourth, free period, lunch, and last period with Kags. Doesn't seem so fun because she hates me, right? But it was fun anyways, even though I hate her too I could prank her whenever I want. I wonder what prank I should pull today…

Normal POV

It was one of the craziest days of school life among Rin's life. Kags, Sango and Ayame were having a chat while Rin sat on the edge of the table, sulking. Blame Sesshomaru for being nice to her. Now all his stupid fan girls were being mean to her. Couldn't she have a normal college life without being disturbed by other people?

In the next time she saw the handsome silver haired dog demon she would ask him to never come around her in public again. She had already had enough with Kagura and the rest of those fanatic girls. What really bothered Rin was that Sesshomaru had been holding her hand, which is why the fan girls decided to torture her; the other thing was…she liked it, she liked holding his hand.

Rin had tried her best to defend herself by saying that she didn't like him at all, but the fan girls didn't believe her, actually, when she told them that she didn't like him they went to the extents of physically hurting her and making her get a cut. Thank you for that Sesshoumaru, go shove your sudden kindness up your ass! Rin sighed and decided to just skip the rest of the school day.

Kagome and her other friends weren't helping her very much either. They suspected that she had fallen in love with the 'ice prince', their nickname for Sesshomaru. She had completely denied it and shouted out loud that she hated the ice prince in the cafeteria, not aware that everyone, including Sesshomaru and the Populars, heard what she screamed.

"I hate him. I completely hate that idiotic Ice Prince, Takahashi Sesshoumaru you better look out!" Rin yelled loudly before storming out from the cafeteria, leaving a bunch of shocked people behind along with her three best friends. Inuyasha nudged his brother and grinned when they heard her outburst.

"Looks like she's a tough one, huh?" Miroku said, with a smile tugging on his lips.

"Yeah, but tough girls are so sexy." Kouga said.

"Well, is the best still on brother?" Inuyasha teased his half older brother with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Of course the bet is still on." Sesshoumaru replied, flashing them his infamous smirk before walking out of the cafeteria, following the girl's scent.

One month to make that girl fall in love with him, one month. 'This is going to be so easy' Sesshomaru said inwardly with his usual cold smirk back on his face.
