Rin- The boy next to me, his posture perfect, eyes tight, and fists clenched, appearance, absolutely beautiful. I mean he has golden eyes that are now slits right now, three purple stripes on his cheeks, a moon tattooed on his forehead and long silver hair that falls to down his back and overgrown bangs that are well kept, but skim the bridge of his nose… I want to know his name, I want to know, him…

He slides his golden eyes to the side, so he's staring at me. His eyes are full of hate, and it appears to me that he's plugging his nose? I take the ends of my hair, and smell it. It smells like rain… This makes sense because I was out in the rain. My clothes probably smell though… Oh no, I forgot to put on deodorant this morning! I chew my lip, that's probably why he thinks I smell so bad. I wonder if the nurse has any deodorant. I'm positive the teacher, Totosai sensei wouldn't let me go for it, maybe I can fake cramps… Just as I'm about to wrap my arms around my stomach and moan in pain, the bell rings. Has the entire hour gone by that fast?

I stand up and pick up my books. I glance at my class schedule and sigh.

I look to the side, I'm about to ask the boy beside me directions to Myoga's English class, but he's already gone. I sigh and walk to the front of the room, I glance around hopelessly. "Are you on your way to Myoga's"? A perky voice asks. I turn and see a girl with long raven black hair, and bright brown eyes. "Um yeah, could you show me please"? She nods "This way, your Rin right"? She asks. I nod "yes, my name is Rin". "I'm Kagome Higarashi, nice to meet you"! I nod and follow her down the hallway. She chatters about this school, but I don't pay attention. "You know, Seshomaru-kun looked extremely angry during first period, did you say something to upset him"? Kagome asks me. Seshomaru's his name, hmm? "Not that I know of, excuse me Kagome I realize this is an odd question, but do I stink"?

I slide into a seat beside Kagome in all my classes. So far she's introduced me to her best friends Miroku and Sango, and her secret love Inuyasha, and Inuyasha's girlfriend Kikyo. Kagome has a strong resentment towards Kikyo… I follow Kagome to lunch, clutching my lunchbox in my hand. She sits down at a round table and waves me over. "Kagome, why is this freshman following you around"? Inuyasha asked while pushing around spaghetti on a plate. "Inuyasha, she isn't a freshman! She's seventeen and in all our classes"! Snaps Kagome in my defense, I smile. "Yes, I may be small, but I kid you not I'm a black belt"! I say, Inuyasha rolls his golden eyes. It turns out; Inuyasha is Seshomaru's younger brother. Aside from the hair and eye coloring, I would've never guessed… "Rin-sama, after lunch our school gives us free period. If you wish to train you could use the school's gym". Sango says. I smile; at long last I would be able to do what I love.

Seshomaru strode into the gym. It was usually empty, so he could sit in silence… Not even the teacher, Takemaru was in here. "KI-YAH, down for the count"! Seshomaru's back stiffened. He had worked so hard to avoid that girl, but now… Seshomaru saw, in the back corner was the tiny girl, kicking a dummy with surprising force. Seshomaru's fangs once again ached. Why was this one girl, able to evoke such strong blood lust, but interest in him? "How long have you been watching me"? The girl suddenly asked while sitting down. She then lay on her back, her wide brown eyes studying him. He noticed something though; her eyes were missing something, life… Seshomaru hadn't realized an entire minute had passed before she cleared her throat "Well I guess you aren't going to talk to me, considering you're above me and all. Oh well, at least I got some training in. Goodbye, Seshomaru-kun"

Rin- As I walked out of the gym, I was positive he could see me trembling in fear. I had finally stood up for myself, and to a man who looked like he could kill someone with a butterfly eraser! I maneuver myself to the showers and strip. I wash off all the sweat and cleanse myself with soap from the soap dispenser. I make a mental note to get to the store for shampoo, conditioner, razors, deodorant and all that and a bag of chips…

I finish getting ready again, just as the bell rings. At least this time when I'm wet, I don't smell… I guess it's time to find Lady Izayoi's art class. This is one of the classes I belong in, because I'm actually a really talented painter. Too bad I don't have Kagome with me… "Rin, hey Rin"! A voice calls. I turn and breathe a sigh of relief, Inuyasha. Maybe he can show me where Lady Izayoi's is… "Listen, about that freshman comment earlier, Kagome told me to apologize, so yeah"… He drifts off. I smile, I guess this is as close to an apology as I'm going to get. "Its fine, you can make it up to me by showing me where Lady Izayoi's class is"! I say with some enthusiasm. "Ahh, that class I know all too well, come on follow me"! Inuyasha says while smiling. I notice his teeth are very white, and very sharp…

Inuyasha opens the door to a room way down the hallway. "Here we are, Mom I've got a new student"! Inuyasha calls and leads me inside. A pang of jealousy hit's my heart, he has a mother… He heads inside and I follow. In sits the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on… She has long jet black hair, and heavily lashed brown eyes. Her lips are full, red and smiling and she's incredibly pale. This is Inuyasha and Seshomaru's mother? I can see the resemblance skin tone wise and how beautiful all three are, but other than that nothing. "Welcome, Rin to my class. I'm afraid this hour I only have you and Inuyasha. Inuyasha isn't the greatest artist so all my hope relies on you. Are you talented"? Asks Lady Izayoi in a soft voice. I dig in my bag, and pull out my sketchbook that is nearly filled with sketches done and colored with water paint. She flips through "Oh my, Rin… These are beautiful" She says with wide eyes. I instantly decide, were I'll be spending my free periods…
