A/N: HI! Shortened.
Oh My Gods! 11
...Recap...
Inuyasha droned out the rest of what his teacher was saying, leaving the information to be digested by his furiously twitching ears--it was the perks of being a hanyou; he didn't have to pay attention, but he still memorized every single word related to him. He only began typing notes on his laptop when other students did, mainly because he didn't want to feel more left out than he already was. Either way, he wasn't really paying attention.
Forty-minutes of nonstop talk about pointless literature blab later...
...a small window popped up on the hanyou's screen, interrupting his speedy typing.
...End Recap...
He slowly blinked in confusion and cocked his head to one side as he stared at the window; the title of it was 'Imei Academy Chat'. It was only a few seconds later that he noticed he had just received a chat invite from someone--Kagome had told him about the chat system the academy provided for all registered laptops; of course, they had planned to chat once in a while. However, it was who the message was from that caused him to deeply growl.
Morimotto Yuka.
Inuyasha didn't bother glancing at the human culprit; instead, he accepted the chat invite, if only to see what the hell she wanted.
'Yuka says: So, it turns out that the moron is even more stupid than I thought.' Inuyasha furrowed his eye brows and bit his lip--he couldn't afford to lose control of himself in a heavily populated area, unless he wanted Sesshoumaru to kill him. Seriously, his brother hadn't been joking when he threatened him earlier...
'Inuyasha says: What the hell do you want, bitch?'
'Yuka says: You know what I want. After your little escapade today, I'm sure Kagome won't be able to stand even being near you.'
The hanyou halted at that. What was she talking about?! Why wouldn't his fiancée want to be near him? What had he done?! All he had said the whole entire class period was his name, who his fiancée was, and what he liked the most. That's it. Was that illegal in the mortal realm? Or rather...social suicide? Not that he knew what it meant.
'Inuyasha says: Keh! Don't talk shit! What do you know about Kagome?'
'Yuka says: Unlike you, asshole, I've known her since Kindergarten! You just embarrassed her in front of our entire class! If I were her, I'd dump your ass in a second!' Inuyasha blinked. Embarrassed her? I didn't embarrass her...
'Inuyasha says: Fuck you! I didn't embarrass her! So what, now I cant say she's my fiancée, which is true by the way?'
'Yuka says: You goddamn idiot! No one in the school knows about you two miraculously being together, until now that is. News is gonna spread like wild fire and she'll never hear the end of it. Seriously, if I were her, I'd dump your ass.'
Kagome wouldn't do that to him right? No, she couldn't--their marriage was arranged. Her mother was adamant about her getting married to him; she couldn't use such a stupid excuse to not go through with it. Even so...what if she spent the rest of her life holding a grudge against him? Was he really...a walking humiliation to her? Fuck it all! I won't listen to what this bitch says! Though, his fiancée was still pissed off at him...was that the reason why?
'Inuyasha says: Fuck off already! I know you hate me for whatever reason, but you don't have to be in mine and Kagome's business all the time!'
'Yuka says: But I do because she's my friend, and I only want what's best for her--oh, and incase you're too stupid to figure it out, that doesn't mean you. Just what are you going to offer her, anyway? Humiliation? No wait, let me guess--tons of ramen!'
That one really hit home. What was he going to offer her? Sure, she was his intended mate, but did that mean he automatically loved her and vice versa? No. He had all the riches in the world, he had a title, but in a realm that wasn't his home, it all meant nothing. All he was here was a hanyou, a 'stupid' hanyou. An imbecile. What did an imbecile have to offer someone like Kagome?
'Inuyasha says: Listen, I could care less what you have to say because in the end, I'm still gonna marry Kagome.'
'Yuka says: I figured as much. It's sad that you're taking her away from all the good guys out there, like Houjo. Did you know he's going to become a doctor? They get paid a lot of money. AND, he comes from a wealthy family. How about you, mechanic boy?'
Mechanic?! Inuyasha knew what that was and there was no way he was anything like that! He hated those four-legged demons or cars whatever they were! And who the hell is Hobo?!
'Inuyasha says: You don't even know the slightest thing about me, bitch, so don't assume you're a fucking genius. As if I care about that Hobo whimp--I can beat his ass any day!'
'Yuka: And you think Kagome wants a guy who would willingly beat someone's ass? Don't think too hard about this.'
Would...she? The hanyou recalled the events of this morning, what had happened with Kouga...he had lost himself. He hardly remembered what he had done until he was soaked with water! Only then did he find out that he had been strangling the wolf! But...Kagome had witnessed that fight...she had seen his darker self...he had almost gone into a killing field. Did she...was disgusted with him now?
He sighed and placed left his hand over his right forearm...over a burn that was still sore. Where had he gotten that burn? It was fairly fresh... Heck, he didn't remember anything that had occured earlier. And the burn...the red burn that marred his sun-kissed skin...was in the shape of a hand--no, two hands. It couldn't have been Kouga, his hands are bigger than that. Then the only one left is...Kagome? Possibly...she was a miko. Did she have to use her powers to stop me? Gods...she must think I'm a monster...
'Inuyasha says: Go eat shit and leave me the hell alone! Nothing you say will change my mind!' Not like my opinion could change anything, in the first place...
'Yuka says: Whatever. Just remember that Kagome is nothing like you and she deserves someone who shares her ideals. Someone who doesn't humiliate her like you did. Someone she'd be proud to tell everyone, "Hey, that's my fiancé!" Tell me, has she told anyone about you? Do you think she would've told me, Ayumi, and Eri about you if we hadn't seen you before hand?'
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The bell marked the end of the first period, and Inuyasha was the first one to slam his laptop shut before bolting out of the classroom. He didn't even glance back at Yuka, or waited for Kagome--hell, he didn't know where he was going! But one thing he did know. One thing he at last realized.
His heart, mind, and soul cried in unison. They released pent up tears that he just couldn't muster physically. They howled in response to the agony threatening to consume him at the moment. Why?
Because he realized...that everything that Yuka bitch said was true.
"Why would you say something like that in front of our class?!"
"I already told you why, wench! I didn't know what he wanted me to say!"
"Certainly not that I'm your fiancée! What were you thinking?!"
"What's so wrong about that?! Why shouldn't I say that you're my fiancée?"
"Because...argh! You're such an idiot!!"
"Oh yeah, blame it all on the fucking hanyou! Gods know that I'm too stupid for you!"
"Now what in the world are you talking about?!"
"Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"
Kagome and Inuyasha were once again arguing, but luckily they found a secluded area where no one would intrude on them. Well...maybe not so secluded. It was currently the third period of the day, and after a whole period of doing nothing except for playing with his laptop's mouse, the hanyou was just about to explode with pent up energy. So it was only godsent that when he arrived at his History class, the wench he was engaged to suddenly rounded on him about earlier. No one was in the room, yet what did they care?
The miko glared at her fiancé, trying to figure out what had him so pissy. She was supposed to be the angry one--she was the one who had been embarrassed! He was the new student, no one cared much about him yet, but she was well-known because of her grades as well as her community work, and now everyone thought she was a common slut who was getting married for the same reason why all seventeen-year olds had to marry: she got pregnant.
Did she look pregnant to anyone?!?!
However, Inuyasha was being the biggest asshole in the world! Hell, she had done nothing to him! They hadn't even talked to each other during study hall last period! So when she demanded an explanation, he immediately went into defensive mode as if she was trying to steal his money or something!
Sheesh--she had a right to be mad; walking down the hall without a student she's never seen before gossiping about her would be a sheer miracle! It won't take much longer for a rumor to develop...next thing she knew, she was going to be pregnant with triplets, working at a local bar as a stripper, and living on a farm in the middle of nowhere! Was that a good way to spend her senior year of high school?
NO!!!
Then why couldn't he understand that?
"Look, Inuyasha, I just want you to know that telling people we're engaged is not good! You can't just go prancing around narrating our personal lives to students you don't even know!" Why couldn't he understand something so simple? Why did he want to complicate their lives more than it already was? Wasn't it enough that she had to get married at eighteen?!
The hanyou's frown remained in place as he literally glared acid at the wall he didn't remove his eyes from. Evidently, he couldn't even look at Kagome without feeling the urge to claw at his chest in a fruitless attempt to relieve the damn...damn ache! Didn't she know that this conversation was killing him from the inside out? Hmph, of course not.
"Then, please, Queen Kagome, Mistress of All Intelligent Souls, why don't you tell this poor and stupid, incompetent half-breed what he should say? Hmm? That he was raised in a cornfield? That he had to struggle to pay for a little grain of rice that would be his breakfast, lunch, and dinner?"
She incredulously stared at him with her mouth agape in shock. "W-What's wrong with you...?" She couldn't believe that this was her pompous fiancé speaking right now. Her anger soon spiked again. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Oh nothing much, excluding the fucking fact that my fiancée is acting like a damn Bitch From Hell!"
"Are you trying to get back at me or something?" Kagome was trying to grasp the hanyou's reasoning; she wanted to know what he was thinking, but of course, she didn't have that ability. "You enjoy it, don't you? That's the only reason I can think of for your current ass-ness! You enjoy it when I get laughed at by our entire class!"
"Like hell I do!"
"Not only do people think I'm pregnant now--no thanks to you--but supposedly, my future husband is a ramen-loving garbage man! Gods know you don't need an education to be a garbage man! How do you think that makes me feel?!"
Did he believe that people gossiping about him made her happy? That hearing people call him an idiotic loser was amusing? No! It hurt because they didn't even know him to talk like that. Why, for the love of gods, couldn't he comprehend that?! Why was he jumping to insane conlusions?! What the hell was with the sudden pity talk?!
Hmph, so she is ashamed of me. That thought actually...bothered him. And as always, Inuyasha covered up his sentiments with anger. "What? Miss Pretty Princess doesn't like to get made fun of? Dear lord! It's the horror! Lady Kagome is getting laughed at! Guess what, Kagome--it's something called life! You think being a hanyou is a piece of cake? That just because I'm a prince, everything for me is easy? Well, dammit--IT'S FUCKING NOT!! I used to get bea--"
Silence ensued as one of the two didn't know what to say as the other realized that he had said too much. Soon enough, Kagome sighed, finally putting a reign on her fury. She wanted to understand Inuyasha, she really did. But how could she when he shut himself off? Why had he even interrupted his own sentence before he got to his point? "You used to get what, Inuyasha?"
If he decides to recluse himself, then it proves it. But it proves what?
The hanyou narrowed his eyes, still not directly looking at his fiancée. "It's none of your business, wench. Fuck. Off." There was no way in hell that he was going to relive those past memories. Why couldn't he forget them? Why the hell could he forget Kagome, but not his most painful experiences?! The ones that he would...would carry to his grave, at least. Why?
"AAARGH!!! This is why we argue so much! Here I am trying to comprehend your 'ingenious' mind, and you throw it all in my face with 'it's none of your business'!" She was going to kill someone at this rate! All this anger, all these negative feelings--where did they come from? "I have had it with you and your damn attitude! I wish I never--"
"You wish you never what?" His voice was deadly calm, but it wasn't evilly calm, at least.
Kagome's blazing chocolate eyes at last met vibrant gold in a battle of wills. "I wish I never kissed you. I wish I never remotely cared about you. Furthermore," the miko stepped closer towards the hanyou, twistedly satisfied by the expression of pure shock and hurt that crossed his face for a split second, "I wish I never met you, Inuyasha."
"Higurashi! Is it true that you're pregnant with quintuplets and your fiancé's a hobo who lost all his money gambling for ramen?" The miko and hanyou glared at the obnoxious male teen, who had interrupted their heated argument by randomly entering the classroom without warning. Inuyasha kehed, moving to the other side of the room, far away from his fiancée, and wasted no time to pull out his laptop.
Kagome just kept on glaring at her classmate until he got the hint and fled for his life.
It was lunch time.
Hurray.
Inuyasha blankly stared at the numerous round tables covering the large expanse of grassy land belonging to the academy, which also sat in between the high school and the college buildings. His eyes then shifted to the lunch tray he held in his hands, taking in the sight--as well as the pleasant scent--of ramen; yes, the cafeteria had ramen! But...his ears drooped when he looked up again, and he searched for somewhere to sit.
He was pretty much abandoned. Yup. He felt like a true orphan with no home, no friends, and no loving parents that would console him. After their 'fight', Kagome had done her best to avoid him. Sure, he helped her with that because he didn't really want to deal with annoying wenches at the moment. Though...now what? He spotted her laughing at something her dense friend--Ayumi, right?--had said in a far table to his left. She was surrounded by her trio of friends, the very image of an inseparable chain.
A chain he wasn't welcomed in.
The hanyou soon sighed and started walking to any random yet empty table, just so that he wouldn't seem like a total outcast on display for all to ridicule. After five periods of back to back classes, he had to say that he was tired of it. He hated this school. All he wanted to do was go back to the immortal realm, the place where he could release his energy in his usual volatile manner without it being wrong. But no, he was forced to stay here. Why? Because he was engaged to a woman who wished she never even met him.
Gods, my life is depressing. He raked a hand through his unruly silver bangs, staring into his overly large bowl of beef-flavored ramen. Hell, I don't even have the will to eat ramen. Something must be definitely wrong with him.
"Inuyasha!" The half-immortal immediately perked up at his name being called and looked to his right to see that a much more jovial--and most importantly, sane--Rin was jogging towards his table. He offered her a sort of relieved smirk and moved his bag away so that she could take a seat beside him.
However...he first scrutinized the gaudy neon pink polka-dotted scarf wrapped tightly around her neck...which did not match her navy uniform whatsoever. "Hey, Rin. What's up with the scarf? It's...colorful."
The teen blushed profusely. "Yeah, well...it was my last resort. I needed something to cover 'it' up." At the confused look she was given, she sighed as her hands began to abashedly fiddle with the hem of her short pleated skirt. "You know, the...the hickey that was, well is, on my neck..."
"What the hell is a hickey?"
"You mean to tell me that you read an entire dictionary and you still don't know what a hickey is?!" Rin shook her head and tsked. "It's a lovebite, my friend."
Inuyasha's eyes widened when he at long last realized just what his brother had been doing with his fiancée in the morning. All he could think was...damn! "That's one hideous lovebite, or 'hickey' whatever! Why would my bastard of a brother do something like that? It's not part of his usual necking routine."
"Because it's his claim on me and he's an asshole, that's why! Argh!! He gets all possessive and crap just because I was talking lovey dovey about Meimori! It's not like I'm really going to run off with him! Sorry, but I don't go for weird vampire guys that suck my blood!"
The hanyou consented that the idea was a little far-fetched. "Keh! Anyway, aren't you supposed to be at the apartment instead of at school?" He eyed her knowingly when she gulped, and he smirked in triumph. He knew that his overprotective brother wouldn't let her run around in her 'condition'...
"Yeah...but I just couldn't let Sesshoumaru win! I know he gave me a hickey because I would be too embarrassed to go out in public, yet I showed him, alright! Ugh, I wish I had another scarf, though..." Rin frowned at the appalling garment. It was the first thing people saw when she walked down the halls... Now I'm more of a misfit than I already was. She sighed in dismay. Oh well, still better than showing off a huge hickey. I don't need whore to be added to people's lists of insults for me.
It took her a while to notice that a certain miko was nowhere in sight... "Hm, where's Kagome? I thought she'd be sitting with you--it is your first day after all." Rin cocked her head at the solemn expression that took over Inuyasha's face, and she blinked.
Did I say something wrong? She looked around the outdoor cafeteria in search of the raven-haired teen, and spotted her among her friends. She left Inuyasha all by himself knowing that he's new? No way...she can't be that cruel! Something must've happened between them...
"Let me guess, you guys got into a fight?" The hanyou only nodded as he twirled a fork in his untouched ramen. The teen beside him mentally noted that it must have been a really bad fight. "Do you want to tell me about it?"
And so, Inuyasha told Rin all about the fight, including his introduction first period to what she said to him third period. He bore his soul to her, strangely not feeling any need to hold back information--hell, he even told her about Yuka's meddling. In simple terms, he trusted her in ways he didn't trust any one else, and they've known each other for only a short period of time! It comforted him how closely she listened without interrupting him, like a true friend who wanted to help him with his problems; now he could truly say that she was like a younger sister to him.
The cinnamon-eyed teen kept nodding throughout his whole story, not even bothering to begin taking spoonfuls of her chicken noodle soup until he finished. "Keh! It's like she's freakin' ashamed of me, and she has the fucking nerve to complain about being made fun of! As if I enjoy her getting ridiculed--I'm not like that! Does she think I haven't gone through the same--hell, I've been through so much worse that Miss Pretty Princess would've died had she been in my place!"
"Wow, that was one pretty intense argument right there!" Inuyasha only folded his arms on the table, holding his head up with his hand as he blankly stared at his brother's fiancée. "I see your first day so far is pure hell."
"You can say that again."
Rin sighed. "Come on, do you really think that Kagome of all people would be ashamed of anyone, much less you? Do you really think that she could be so cruel?"
The hanyou pondered it since he was now able to think past anger to think rationally about his situation. He conceded that the wench was a bitch who liked to argue with him, stuck up for herself and others, and was just simply all around...nice. Would she truly be ashamed of him, or was he jumping to conclusions due to past experiences? Perhaps he really was being biased, making up her true feelings on the matter with what he expected her to feel. But she wasn't like others...deep down inside, he knew that.
"...I...I guess not." His ears drooped as the big bold word 'ASS' shot through his mind. "Ok, so I fucked things up...but still...she didn't have to be such a bitch about it! She didn't have to...she could've..."
"She should've understood you, is that what you're trying to say?" Rin smiled gently when her fiance's brother merely nodded. "But how could she have understood you, Inuyasha? How could she when she doesn't even know half the things you've been through?"
His silence prompted her to continue. "Kagome has it all--friends, a family that cares for her, students that admire her--and I don't think she's ever been made fun of before, or at least have someone close to her be mocked. She's not used to having rumors about her or her friends, she's not used to being thought lowly of--and obviously, she's not prepared for it. Right now, she only wants someone to blame, and that person is unfortunately you. I mean, you did start this whole mess..."
"But I did nothing wrong! I'm not a damn psychic! How the hell was I supposed to know that she didn't want anyone to know that I'm her fiancé? What the fuck am I to her, then?!" The hanyou hardly knew what to make of his ordeal and he couldn't comprehend what was so bad about people knowing that he was her fiancé. So what if people did get a laugh out of it--rumors fade and they could ignore what was said about them!
"I know you're innocent, Inuyasha, and of course you're still her fiancé--not even Kagome can change that. Though, like I said, she doesn't know how to handle this situation, so she's blaming you. I'm sure she didn't mean whatever she said; soon enough she'll regret her words, and so will you." Rin's tender smile had yet to vanish as she sipped her cup of peach tea. "Time is everything. Right now, she won't talk to you. Give her some time, and she'll come around."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but he found reason in her words and decided to trust Rin's judgment. Though, he found it remarkable that a bubbly person like her had so much insight and wisdom. Where did she get it from? "How do you know just what to say, Rin? How do you know what Kagome's thinking? How do you know what I'm thinking?"
She shrugged. "It's simple because I've known people like Kagome before, people who are nothing like me." The half-immortal just kept staring at her; evidently, he didn't believe her. "I'm serious--we're totally two different people with two different minds. Believe it or not, Inuyasha, but I've been through a lot of what you've been through."
"Don't joke around, Rin!" He chuckled, skeptical of her words. Heh, as if she, a carefree person would know the troubles of being someone like him. "If you even remotely know what I've been through, you wouldn't be so kind. Then again, you can be a psychotic bitch..."
She giggled in agreement, yet soon sobered. "No, really." Blank stare. "Alright, I'll tell you my 'heartbreaking' story. My parents were killed by house raiders along with my older twin brothers when I was six. After that, I was sent to an orphanage. I hated it, to put it simply." The teen sat back in her chair and glanced up at the azure blue sky, completely immersed in her childhood memories. They weren't good ones, either.
"What happened after that?" So, she's an orphan, huh? Inuyasha hadn't known such a thing about the lively teen. How can she still be so...so happy after losing her family at a young age? He definitely hadn't been able to.
"Nothing, really. I was never adopted, and all the other kids instantly hated me. I was different then them--you know why? Because I didn't want to be like them. They were all sad and pitiful, but me? No, I was always dancing and laughing and giggling." She silently consented that much hadn't changed about her. "And due to my 'frivolousness', they made fun of me. There wasn't one kid who didn't tell me in my face that I was weird and/or crazy."
"And you didn't do anything?" Inuyasha was sure he would've pounded their heads in!
Rin shook her head. "Not like I could have done something--I was mute until I hit eight. So, I only smiled at them. Nothing they said ever bothered me, and I think they hated that more than anything else about me. They just couldn't understand why I was so happy all the time when I had lost everything dear to me--they thought I was a disgrace to all orphans for not honoring my family's memory. So...instead of ridiculing me and playing various pranks on me...they beat me."
"WHAT?!" He couldn't believe this! She was beaten?! What the hell?!
"Yup. The women who worked in the orphanage didn't really care because I wasn't going to get adopted, anyway. When we'd all play outside, the older kids would come and kick me, hit me, punch me...anything to just get a reaction out of me. I still smiled at them."
Inuyasha was dumbfounded. "You must be a saint..."
The teen laughed. "It seems like it! But, in order not to think about all of that stuff, I spent my time studying, so much to the point that I was considered...well, smart. So then, a year before I would be released from the orphanage at eighteen, I applied to this academy and...you know the rest!"
The hanyou intently listening to her story felt, however, that she was leaving details out...some important details that she just couldn't bring herself to talk about, but he would leave it at that. He wasn't so brave as to talk about his past, anyway. "I guess we are alike, as you say."
"Hmm, to a point. Anyway...I know for certain that Kagome would break under this pressure. You know, she's not the only one with rumors about her, you're a prime target, too, and I think that's what has her so angry. I've already heard that you're part of the Yakuza smuggling in ramen from Mongolia."
His eye twitched at that...rumor. "Keh, I thought I was a garbage man."
Rin stifled a giggle--it was amazing how the hanyou disregarded people ridiculing him like that. Yeah, we are alike. She smiled at the irony of it and continued with her point. "Face it, Inuyasha, your fiancee is a people person, unlike us."
"Us? Don't you mean...me?"
"Nope! However nice I may be, I still prefer solitude over companionship. That's why I'm a misfit."
"We can be misfits together..." Inuyasha sighed, and at long last the world was not going to end because he stopped playing with his food and began to actually eat his ramen! Yes, he was shoveling it in his mouth like normal! Even though it was already cold...
"That's great! Oh, what did you think of the Calculus test?" Rin finished eating her chicken soup and put her attention on her friend once again. Gods, just thinking about that Calculus test...it was...the horror... Not to mention that attending her History class was all in vain since her teacher still took fifteen points off because she had been one minute late. One freakin' minute late.
"I didn't have to take it since I don't know what the hell's going on in that class."
"Huh?! Are you telling me that you didn't have to take it, but I did, even if I still skipped class! Even if I was ready to keel over! That old geezer made me--the girl who had a blood transfusion--take his hundred-question test, but not you?!" Rin wanted to take her plastic plate and kill herself with it! She would make killing herself that way possible, dammit! Oh, that test was so hard!! There goes my miraculous A in that class...
Inuyasha blinked as the teen randomly started twitching. "Uhh...yeah?" Forget the twitching; she was spasming.
It was thirty minutes into the lunch hour that the hanyou caught a familiar scent coming towards him in a swift speed. His golden amber eyes widened and he wasted no time to turn to Rin before it became too late--oh crap! It was already too late! He looked up and instantly felt bad for the groaning teen next to him...
...but she raised her head after cursing her senile teacher...and she saw...
...oh crap...it was...
...Sesshoumaru.
The dog demon swiftly made his way to his brother's lunch table and calmly took a seat next to his nervous fiancée, setting his briefcase right adjacent to hers prior to placing his lunch tray in front of him. He fixed her with a steady gaze--not once did his frigid honey eyes shift to the neon scarf around her neck. Soon enough, however...he smirked.
Not good.
"Rin..." His voice betrayed nothing, and she suddenly wished that he could at least reveal whether or not he was angry or something! Inuyasha just ignored the couple in favor of finishing his bowl of ramen...
"Y-Yes?" Please don't murder me in my sleep...
And the million dollar question was... "Is there a reason why you're not in bed?"
"Um...no?"
"Hn."
Surprisingly, he said nor did nothing more than that. Inuyasha and Rin gaped at him in shock, but he paid no heed as he dipped a tender slice of chicken in delectable teriyaki sauce. Well, his fiancée wasn't going to argue against her luck--she wasn't even going to ask him if he was feeling ill. Though...he had smirked...that meant he was going to do something sinister, right? There's still a chance of him murdering me in my sleep...
Nah, he wouldn't get his throne then. That didn't mean, however, he couldn't torture her first... He might want revenge after throwing a skillet at him and slapping him... She gulped just pondering it.
"HI SESSHY-KUN!!!" Sesshoumaru ignored the obnoxious headband girl and took out his wooden chopsticks from the little plastic pouch thing he had been given at the lunch line. He didn't even notice that his fiancee was gritting her teeth as his younger brother tried to calm her down...yup, his teriyaki chicken smelled that good... It's something that mortals finally did right...
"Rin, you're not gonna go psychotic on us, right?" Inuyasha was ready to bolt away from the obsidian-haired teen since she was still seething. What had gotten her so mad? He hardly knew.
The teen fixed her cinnamon eyes on the hanyou, who gulped in return. "Don't call me Rin anymore. I'm known as the Headband Slasher now...hehehe..." The half-immortal was too freaked out to respond...
After her random psychoticness waned, and Rin was back to momentarily being sane, she faced the reticent immortal beside her. "Sooo...how was your first day of college, Sesshoumaru?"
The dog demon nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders in response. "Interesting." It was true--his classes today intrigued him in ways he thought were impossible. Perhaps some mortal concepts were worth his time...
Rin was at loss for what to say next. Wait--what's he studying, anyway? And what grade is he in? "I don't even know what you're taking classes about or what your year is...what are you studying while you're here and what's your grade?"
Sesshoumaru's smirk came back. "Business, and I'm a second year." He was curious about the career. It was the cryptic way of killing someone without any bloodshed; all he had to do was strike his opponent where it hurt the most: his pride. How would he accomplish that? Through business. He found that he was well-suited for the business world--of course, he was a sadist, what did he care about others?
"That's great...eheh..." Yeah, the last thing I need is for my fiancé to become a mass company murderer. Hopefully he doesn't plan on staying in the mortal realm for that to be a reality... She felt sorry for any of the dog demon's future rivals...
The silver-haired immortal finally remembered something he had to tell his inferior half-brother. "Inuyasha, we need to speak later." The hanyou furrowed his eye brows, wondering what would be so important that the bastard wanted to waste his time talking with him.
"Keh! It better be worth my time--I have a ton of homework tonight." There was an odd gleam in Sesshoumaru's eyes as he looked at him that had Inuyasha apprehensive for inexplicable reasons...a gleam that foretold the arrival of...danger... It's almost as if he's afraid of something...no way, that can't be it....right? "What do you want to 'speak' about, bastard?"
The gleam in Sesshoumaru's golden honey eyes never wavered. "Meimori."
A/N: WOW! I'm evil evil evil evil!!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! I ruin relationships all the time...well, not in real life of course! Heheh...anyway...
Next chapters: Inu and Sessh bond...um, while talking about Meimori, and we're skipping ahead a month! I wonder what's coming up soon that has the girls psyched...Should I have told you that? Probably not...
Sooo...What could Sesshoumaru want to say about Meimori that has him...afraid? Will Rin's first target be her fiance...or the headband girl? Will Inuyasha and Kagome get back together? Nope! ::looks innocent:: What, I can't spoil the story! Ahem, continuing. Is Kagome's memory coming back to her? When are Miroku and Sango showing up?! Soon...not now...but soon.
Stay tuned! I love all my readers and reviewers! Even if you think my story sucks! Meh, I know it does so whatever.
