"Ugh today couldn't have gone by any slower!"

"Feh…ya still haven't answered my question wench."

"Inuyasha how many times have I told you not to call me that!"

Rin watched her two best friends argue and found herself giggling at the scene. The two of them ignored Rin as they walked down the hall.

"I already told you Inuyasha yes! You would expect with those cute ears of yours you would be able to hear me."

Inuyasha growled at Kagome as he shot her a look.

"Feh…"

Kagome looked behind her and Inuyasha to glance back at Rin. She was reading a book and slowly falling behind the two of them.

"I hope that your Mom makes her chocolate pie tonight. I love that thing."

"Yea she can cook. Apparently my asshole of a brother is coming to dinner too. He just invited himself over like he lives there."

"Considering my future mate lives there Inuyasha I consider it my home as well."

Inuyasha and Kagome stop and turn around to see that Rin was a few feet behind them and in her place was standing Sesshomaru.

"Well it ain't and don't even think about moving in either!"

Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha and was about to say something back when he felt someone bump into him.

"Oof!"

Rin fell backwards and landed on the hard floor. When she looked up she saw who she had bumped into and wished she was able to disappear. She heard Inuyasha laughing at her.

When she got up her face was as red as a tomato and her eyes looked everywhere except at Sesshomaru.

"I suggest you watch where you are walking Rrrrin."

The way he purred out her name gave Rin goose bumps.

"I shall see you all tonight. Try not to bump into anyone else until then Rin."

Rin was the first to open her mouth out of pure shock. Then Inuyasha and Kagome followed her expression. Sesshomaru just made a joke…or was he being sarcastic.

Rin watched as a smirk appeared on his face as he walked away.

The three of them walked silently down the hall to the student parking lot. As Kagome was saying goodbye to Inuyasha it dawned on Rin that Sesshomaru was coming over to dinner.

When Inuyasha heard Rin's heartbeat become faster he looked at her. She had a confused look on her face that made him want to laugh. If he wasn't so in love with Kagome he would have thought she was cute.

"Awe Rinny what's wrong?"

Kagome walked away from Inuyasha and stood in front of Rin.

"He is coming over to dinner…tonight…" Her face trailed off.

Kagome smiled at her "So am I Rinny. So don't worry ok?"

Rin looked at her and couldn't help but smile back. Kagome was one of the few people able to do that.

"C'mon Rin my Mom just said she wants us home."

Rin nodded and waved bye to Kagome.

The whole ride home Inuyasha was complaining about the test Sesshomaru had given. He was convinced that Sesshomaru had made that test hard to make everyone fail. Rin kept her opinion about the test being easy to herself and just allowed Inuyasha to vent.

"Hey Rin are ya going to stay in the car the whole night?"

Rin blinked a few times and realized we were back…back…home…

Rin felt her heart sink around the word.

Home…

This was her home now.

She smiled as she got out of the car and walked into the kitchen following Inuyasha the whole way.

"How was school today you two?"

"Feh that asshole gave a hard test."

"I thought it was easy Inuyasha."

Inuyasha smirked as he walked to the island and leaned on it facing Rin.

"He probably gave you a special test to make sure you find a way to make it up to him somehow."

Izayoi pressed her lips together as she grabbed one of Inuyasha's fuzzy ears and pulled on it.

"OUCH MOM GEEZ!"

"You watch what you say son. That is no way to speak to your sister."

Rin smiled as Izayoi called her sister. She was happy that Izayoi came to her defense.

"Yea Inuyasha or Kagome will personally see to it that the next month is miserable for you."

"Feh what will that wench do?"

Izayoi walked out of the room and Rin took this opportunity to step closer to him.

"I wouldn't worry about what she would do Inuyasha…it is what she isn't going to do that I would worry about."

Inuyasha growled at her as he tried to hide the shutter that ran through his body at the thought of Kagome not kissing him or doing anything for that matter for a whole month. Knowing Rin she would convince Kagome to do just that too.

"Feh come on SIS I'll walk ya to your room. Knowing you you'd get lost if I let you go on your own."

Rin nodded as she followed Inuyasha.

Once she was in her room she pulled out her books from her bag and plopped onto her bed. She studied her math book until she heard Kagome calling for her.

She stepped outside of her room and tried to remember where the staircase was. It took her a minute to remember but she finally did. She made it to the staircase and was greeted half way by a hug from Kagome.

"Good ya didn't get lost this time squirt."

"Can it fluffy ears!"

Rin laughed at Kagome's nickname as she watched her grab one making Inuyasha growl.

Her fingers twitched wanting to touch one too. In the six years she has known him she has always wanted to touch them but never got the nerve to ask. So she figured on not asking.

While the three of them were walking down the stairs Rin took the chance to touch one. It was warm and soft. It felt like the thing that wrapped around her last night.

"What tha hell do ya think you're doin' Rin?"

Inuyasha jumped away from her as she let go of his ear.

"I have always wanted to touch them Inuyasha and I promise that I won't do it again."

"Feh ya better not!" He growled at her as he watched her and Kagome walk the rest of the way down the stairs.

Rin followed behind Inuyasha and Kagome as he led them to the dining room.

"Hey Inuyasha…"

She watched his left ear twitch back at her as his silent way of asking what.

"Who carried me to my room last night?"

"Why?"

Rin sighed as she silently begged him to answer her question.

"I noticed that your ears felt the same as something that wrapped around my body last night…"

Inuyasha didn't bother answering instead he decided to laugh until he cried.

"Inuyasha!"

His ears pressed against his head trying to escape Rin's screeching his name.

"Feh I'm not telling ya unless ya tell me why it is so important to you?" He smirked at her and cocked an eyebrow. "Unless you felt something because of this…soft…warm thing touching ya."

Rin blushed as she looked at the ground.

"I suggest that you not tease her anymore Inuyasha."

He looked at the door and saw his brother standing there.

"Feh I won't once she answers my questions I will answer her question."

Sesshomaru walked over to the three of them and stood in between Inuyasha and Kagome in order to be face to face with Rin.

"Well…I just want to know because it was soft and warm and for some strange reason I felt…comfortable…."

"And what exactly are you speaking of Rin?"

"This thing that wrapped around my body last night."

Sesshomaru's eyebrows shot into his hairline as he let her answer sink in.

"Well Sesshomaru aren't you going to answer her?"

All four of them looked to the door and saw Tomatsu and Izayoi walking to the table.

"I will once dinner is finished."

Izayoi took her seat to the right of her mate who was sitting at the head of the table. Rin sat next to her and Inuyasha and Kagome sat across from them. Sesshomaru decided to sit next to Rin making her stiff and slightly nervous.

The first few minutes of the dinner was silent until Sesshomaru started to speak.

"I truly do not understand how you do so poorly on your tests Inuyasha? Do you not study at all?"

Tomatsu sighed at his elder son's choice of subject.

"I don't understand why the tests are so damn difficult."

"They are difficult because you don't study Inuyasha."

Everyone smirked at Rin's remark.

"Oh yea then how did Rin do Sessh?"

Sesshomaru looked at his brother and smirked. For some reason Sesshomaru's smirks always worried Inuyasha.

"She made and A. Almost perfect actually she missed one questions. Kagome missed three so she made an A as well. Perhaps you should get one of them to tutor you."

Inuyasha growled and closed his fists tight. When he unclenched them he looked down at his fork which was now distorted.

"Inuyasha do control your temper and try not to take it out on the silverware."

Rin smiled at Tomatsu who winked at her.

"Alright everyone I think that everyone should go to the library and I will bring in dessert and coffee."

Tomatsu was the first to stand. He walked behind Izayoi's chair and pulled her chair out for her to get up. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha followed his example.

"Wow who knew Inuyasha could be a gentleman." Rin smiled as she spoke her mind. For some reason being around this family she felt she was able to be calm and speak her mind.

She heard Sesshomaru and Tomatsu chuckle slightly as Inuyasha growled.

"Father send my regards to Izayoi however I believe that I need to speak to Rin alone."

Tomatsu nodded and smiled at Rin.

"Rin follow me…"

Rin looked at Kagome and Inuyasha then at Sesshomaru.

"O-OK..."
