Chapter 7: Awkward Moments Are For Losers

The following morning, Rin washed up, got dressed, ate breakfast and began heading out the door, earlier than Kagome as usual. She walked past the kitchen table where Kagome was nodding off in her bowl of cereal, still clad in her pajamas and shook her head. She proceeded to walk out the door, when Shippo opened it from the other side.

"Morning." She said, smiling.

"G'morning." Shippo greeted. He rolled his at the sight of his best friend's nose in her Frosted Flakes and laughed.

"Can you...?" Rin asked, motioning to her cousin.

"Way ahead of you." He answered, moving towards the sleeping girl.

"See you at school!" Rin called, already making her way to her car. She walked down the driveway when a sleek limousine pulled up behind her car. The back window rolled down, revealing Izayoi's refreshing smile.

"Good morning, Rin!"

Rin smiled back. "Good morning, Mrs. Takahashi."

"Hop in love, I'll take you to school."

"Um, okay." The chauffeur opened the door and Rin climbed into the back seat. She sat down across from Izayoi and was offered an omelette.

"No thank you, I ate." She said.

"Are you sure?" Izayoi asked, "At least some fresh fruit. You need your vitamins."

"Alright..." Rin said, picking up an apple.

"So Rin, I've been meaning to talk to you."

"About what?" Rin asked with a mouthful of apple.

"About Sesshomaru."

Rin choked. "Um, sorry. What?" She asked.

Izayoi smiled. "Is it just me, or has my stepson taken a liking to you?"

"Um... Uh... Liking?" She blushed as the past nights events flashed through her mind, lingering particularly on its conclusion.

"Yes. A rather serious one, if you ask me. Sesshomaru has developed an attraction to you."

Rin cleared her throat loudly. "I think 'attraction' is a strong word..."

"Well, I have something to tell you about yourself, Ms. Higurashi."

Rin huffed. This crap again? "Is it about that aura you sensed or whatever? Because I already know. And I figured it out already. Sesshomaru only hangs around me because of it. Please don't remind me."

"I'm sorry?" Izayoi asked, confused.

"My aunt already told me about these stupid hidden powers that I have and how Sesshomaru likes being around me because of them." She said, frowning. To her surprise, Izayoi began to laugh. "What's so funny?"

"Is that what your aunt told you?" She said, still laughing.

"Well, not really, but that's what it is!" Rin said, sincerely trying not to get confused.

"No, no silly girl. You always make me laugh." She said, patting Rin's arm. "Sesshomaru likes you because he has chosen you as his intended mate, not for your abilities."

Rin coughed. "What?"

"I believe I spoke a language you understand." Izayoi stated simply. "Sesshomaru has chosen you to be his companion for life."

Rin's jaw dropped. "That's not true! It can't be! Last night he-"

Izayoi's eyebrows flew up under her bangs. "Last night ?"

Rin gave her an innocent look. "Nothing. Forget I said anything."

Izayoi returned her look with a knowing one. She'd find out sooner or later.

"Alright well.. Hey look! We're here! Okaaaay, thank you SO much for the ride, Mrs. Takahashi. Buh-bye now!" She got out of the car with a wave and ran into the school building.

This was just plain weird. Sesshomaru? Attracted to her? Mates? She didn't think so. She headed into the main office and stopped in her tracks at the sight of a mane of silvery-white hair in front of her. But something wasn't right; it couldn't be Sesshomaru. His stance was slouched, incredibly casual and his left foot was crooked behind his right in a childish manner. There was no way this was Sesshomaru.

"Yeah, thanks ma'am. And might I had that turquois blouse really brings out your lovely complexion. You look absolutely amazing. Are you sure you're not a student here?"

The secretary giggled and Rin inwardly nodded her confirmation. This was definitely not Sesshomaru. The boy turned around and Rin stared. This HAD to be Sesshomaru's brother. He had the amber eyes, but there was no cold attitude at all. He also had a pair of white dog ears plainly visible in his mass of hair.

He grinned. "Sup?" He winked at the secretary who giggled again and walked past her, out of the room.

Rin went to the secretary. "Who was that boy?" The secretary looked at her papers.

"Takahashi-"

"I knew it!" Rin exclaimed. "Thank you!" She said, sprinting out of the office.

"No running in the hall ways!" The secretary called after her, shaking her head.

Rin had to find him. There were things she had to ask Sesshomaru's younger brother.

Sesshomaru got out of his car and glanced around the parking lot. Rin's car wasn't there. Did last night's events scare her away? He frowned at the thought and the frown grew deeper as he eyed his brother's Ferrari parked haphazardly in a corner, two of its wheels on the curb. His morning gradually got worse, it seemed. He walked through the front doors of the school building. It was time to start his second day of hell.

Rin ran through the hallways on every floor, yet she still saw no sign of him. Where could he possibly go?

"Rin! Where are you going?" She heard Kagome's voice call. She jogged up to Rin, slightly out of breath.

"I'm looking for someone." She said impatiently.

"I'll go with you!" Kagome said, inviting herself.

Rin rolled her eyes. There was no stopping Kagome anyway. They hurried back down to the first floor, and at the sight of silver hair, Rin went down the steps faster, not aware of the project a student had put on the steps.

"Rin! Watch out for the-" Kagome tried to warn, but her cousin had already tripped over it and was falling to the floor. There was a flash of silver and in an instant, Rin was in the arms of the handsome boy she had been trying to find.

"You should really be more careful when you go down the steps." Inuyasha said, chuckling.

"Yeah, thanks." Rin said, looking up at him. "Holy- ITS YOU!"

"IT IS?" Inuyasha mocked. "Now...who am I?"

"You're... Sesshomaru's brother."

"Sesshomaru's brother also has a name." He said, eyes twinkling.

Kagome giggled at his remark. His amber eyes flickered to her, and he grinned widely, his fangs glinting.

"Which is?" Rin asked, rolling her eyes.

"Inuyasha Takahashi. The best Takahashi in history." He bowed gracefully. "And you are?"

"Rin." She said, stiffly.

"And this must be your older sister, with the way she wisely looks over you."

Rin's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. Was that a height joke?

"Kagome." Kagome answered, stepping down the stairs and shaking his hand. She flashed on of her signature smiles. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it.

"And might I add what a pleasure it is to be in the company in such a beautiful woman."

Kagome giggled. "Actually, I'm Rin's younger cousin."

Inuyasha feigned perfect shock. "Impossible." Rin just about puked.

"Oh quit it, I'm going to class." Rin said, stalking off.

"Would the lady let me walk her to class?" He inquired to Kagome.

"Shouldn't I be walking you to class?"

Inuyasha thought for a moment. "Good point. Let's go." He opened the door for her, but someone pushed on the other side harshly. Inuyasha slid out of the way effortlessly. Hojo walked through it with Naraku, who laughed and winked at Inuyasha.

"Hojo..." Kagome said, exasperated.

Hojo looked Inuyasha up and down, who tried not to smirk.

"Who's the mutt?" He asked rudely. Naraku giggled.

"The mutt's name is Inuyasha." Inuyasha replied smoothly. "Nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand.

Hojo looked at it like he was offering a pile of dung. "Another silver haired loser. Just what the school needs." He walked off with Naraku close behind him.

"Catch ya later, cutie." Naraku said, wiggling his fingers.

Inuyasha held out his elbow to Kagome. "Shall we, madame?"

Kagome smiled, taking his arm. "We shall."
