Chapter 12: Complications of a Twin Part I

"I was just kidding!" she exclaimed as I feel all the color that was drain come back to my face. I crossed my arms and pretended to feel down. Pouting, I said:

"Aw, I thought you really meant it," she laughed.

"Okay! I know the perfect boy!" I uncrossed my arms and looked at her in shock.

"I was only kidding Rin!" I said as she just laughed more evilly if possible.

"Nope, I saw that pout girl!" she remarked as I groaned.

"It was fake!" she shook her head.

"Nope, I saw it, it was real, therefore," she smiled. "You're meeting my current boyfriend's brother."

"RIN!" I yelled as she stopped at a red light.

"Geez, are all Japanese in Japan like this?" she asked.

"Geez, are all Japanese in America like this?" I mirrored and she laughed, I followed laughing. "So, even if I didn't want to meet the guy you were going to have me meet him anyways right?"

"Yep! So there was no way getting out of it!" she smiled and look my way for a couple seconds. I slapped my head with my left hand.

"Note to mental self, NEVER go out with Rin again," yet she laughed when I said that. She pressed a button on her cellphone as she happily plugged in the earphone. I watched her in anticipation at this.

"Hey babe? Yeah it's Rinaka! Fine fine, Rinny. I'm fine, hey! I'm going to the Cinemas, come meet me there, oh and bring your brother k? Alrighty then! Love you too!" and she hung up. I looked at her in shock.

"Why did you do that?! I thought you already invited them?" I asked as she threw a smile my way.

"Just be happy okay? I really like his younger brother, I think he's hot, you will too!" I looked at her like she was crazy. "What? I'm not crazy okay?"

"Well you seem so at the moment, say when was the last time you were at the psycho ward?" I asked smirking.

"Never!" she laughed like a maniac.

"Mm hm," I confirmed but of course I knew she went to no psycho ward. "So who's your boyfriend and who's his brother?"

"My current boyfriend is Kohaku and he has a little brother named Shippou!" Kohaku? Shippo? Those name sounded so familiar but I wasn't sure why. Say, weren't they some feudal friends of Kagome? I think it was...was it? The rest of the trip was quiet until we reached the Cinemas, which wasn't long, only two minutes. Remember this was a small town? Rin got out and hugged a tall man with dark hair and some freckles on his face. I think his brother was the red head standing behind him blushing.

"Hey Shippou!" yep, confirmed. Rin looked over to me. "Rin! Get out here!" I jumped out of my mental thinking and unbuckled my seatbeat as I got out.

"Um...hi?"

"Shippou, Kohaku, this is my friend from Japan, Rin, Rin, this is my boyfriend Kohaku, and his brother, Shippou," she said as I looked at them with an, obvious, fake smile.

"Hi," I said. Words left my brain and I only know that word.

"Nice to meet you Rin," Kohaku said as I smiled.

"Um, nice to meet you too," I said as I looked at Shippou. "And a pleasure to meet you," I said looking at Shippou and he blushed.

"Pl-pleasure to m-meet y-you too," he said looking down. I smiled. There was an awkward silence.

"Hey! Let's go in and play games! I'm up for DDR!" Rin yelled as she took Kohaku and went inside.

"Hey! Let's go too Shippou!" I suggested as I pulled him in. I think he was blushing all the way. The both of us watched as Kohaku got his ass kicked at DDR by Rin.

"Weeee!" she yelled as she finished her round of DDR. "You're turn Rin!" she said as I backed away.

"Uh, no thanks! I'm gonna go play um...something!" I said making a dash for it.

"Hey wait! That something is playing DDR with Shippou!" she said pulling me to the DDR machine. I swore tears were coming out endlessly. I didn't like playing DDR. I put it to Standard as Shippou went Expert.

"You're an Expert?" I asked and he blushed nodding.

"Y-yeah," he replied. I smiled, well that's something he's good at at least. He IS good! I got a B and C for both songs and he got Double A's for both of them!

"Wow you're good! Now it makes me wonder if Rin is better than you or you than her, I think it's you and I'd make a bet on it!" I said as he blushed.

"Th-thanks," his face was also seen as a tomatoe now.

"Oh yeah?! That's on then! Come on Shippou!" Rin came over and inserted the coins.

"Free game for you Shippou!" she said as she went Expert. When they both finished off, they both got Double A's, except Shippou got a Triple A on one of the songs. My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

"You two are maniacs!"

--------

I got to know more about Shippou and he started to talk regularly after the arcade. We went to the beach and it felt good to know Shippou can talk regularly around me. I almost thought he was afraid of me! We played volleyball with the equipment Kohaku and Shippou brought in their car. Since Shippou was going against Rin last time, this time they were paired together as I was with Kohaku. Kohaku was a pretty good player, and I was too. That way, we both won Shippou and Rin big time! I found out Rin wasn't so good at playing volleyball. We watched the sunset as Shippou was able to let his arms wonder around my waist. I smiled as I set my head on his shoulder.

...Back in the Feudal Era...

--------

He looked at the wicked well that wasn't able to transcend him to the other time. Not being able to admit it, he knew very well himself that he missed Rin dearly. There was nothing he could do at the moment though. This was low, what he was about to do but he had to, he'd do it for Rin. He flew over to the village and went inside Kaede's hut.

"Sesshoumaru," InuYasha whispered. Even he wasn't able to argue with Sesshoumaru at a time like this.

"InuYasha, I want to know of your secret, how do you get past the well's barriers?" All the little emotion at InuYasha once had in eyes earlier disappeared.

"Truth is..." he breathed. "You can't." Sesshoumaru's eyes turned crimson.

"What?!" Sesshoumaru growled his hand grasped around InuYasha's neck and he didn't even fret.

"You can't," he let out. "I can never see Kagome again." Sesshoumaru dropped InuYasha as InuYasha looked down. He saw drops of tears fall to the ground.

"So weak," Sesshoumaru let out. "You're so weak InuYasha." he finished leaving the hut.

Back In The Modern Era

--------

I...hate...school...no...matter...where...it...is...

"RIN! WAKE UP NOW OR WE'LL BE LATE!!!!" I covered my ears with the pillows. She was getting offly impatient as she dragged me up from the bed and practically threw me into the bathroom. I groaned as I got my toothbrush and started brushing.

Nothing much did I eat for breakfast. Two fried eggs sunny side up, and three slices of bacon was good enough for me that morning. Rin then handed a bag of...candy? I don't know what it was but the bag labeled Pop Tart.

"Um Rin? What's this?" I asked as she laughed.

"Pop tart!" she answered. "It's like crackers! Try them!" I tried them and they tasted pretty good, I liked how there was a jelly-like filling in the middle.

"Good?" she asked as I finished eating the first one in the car.

"Very," I replied munching on my second one.

"Oh good! They come in all sorts of flavors!" I smiled. More for me to try.

"So what's this school called? And what will my classes be called?"

"Well, we go to Del Norte High, and since you're one year younger than me you'll be a Junior!" she replied happy.

"Junior?" I asked.

"Well, it's eleventh grade!"

"Oh, I see," I replied, kinda understanding.

"They'll get your transcript from Japan, say, how did you do in school there?" Bad. I replied in my head. Of course, it got to worse after I fell in the well, great, I'm going to get stuck in all the easy classes. I was hoping for challenging ones. We got to school in four minutes and Rin took me to the Counciling Office.

"Hey Ms. Janet, my friend Rin here moved from Japan we need to get her schedule," Rin explained as she nodded.

"Well, Rin's not on my computer yet because her transcript is being figured out at her old school, it'll get transfered here and then I can stick her in her classes," Ms. Janet explained.

"What does she do for the rest of the day then?" Rin asked.

"Well, she can go with you to your classes if that's-"

"YAY!" Rin jumped. "Thanks Ms. Janet!"

"No problem, and Rin?"

"Yes?" I asked.

"I'll have to make an appointment for you and your councilor so you two can figure out your classes, is it okay if you come here at eight fifteen tomorrow?" she asked and I nodded.

"No problem," I replied and she typed in words into her computer.

"Alright, you two ladies have a nice day," she said smiling at us.

"Alright thanks, you have a nice day too!" Rin replied for the both of us as she dragged me out.

"Wait Rin! Isn't Kagome coming to school also?" I asked and she shook her head.

"She told your grandpa that she was going to just take homeschool since they offered it it here," she said and I nodded. Maybe I should have went homeschool too.

"Say, what classes are you taking?" I asked her and she looked thoughful for a minute.

"Well let's see, Adv. English 4, US Government and Economics, Pre-Cal, Chemistry, Japanese for Japanese Speakers, and Art 3," she finished as I blinked.

"Okay," I said as she smiled at me.

"What?" she asked and I shook my head.

"Nothing," I replied as she started the dragging again.

"Come on! My locker is in D-hall!" she said as we broke in a slight jog. Kohaku was waiting there for Rin.

"Hey Kohaku!" she said as she kissed him on the cheek and gave him a hug. They both showed me around the school and I just nodded here and there. I went with Rin to her first class which was Adv. English 4 while Kohaku went to his Algebra 2 class.

"Hello Rinaka!" Guys called out and she just rolled her eyes. I see, she was popular.

"So who's the chick with you today?"

"Are you going bi?"

"Shut up!" Rin yelled and we went to talk to the teacher.

"Hello Mrs. Jordan, my friend Rin here just moved from Japan and she doesn't have her schedule yet so she's coming to my classes today!" Rin said happily and Mrs. Jordan nodded.

"Alright, nice to meet you Rin, hopefully I'll get you in my class..." she stopped.

"Next year," I answered and she smiled.

"-next year. You may have the seat next to Rinaka, I'll just ask the person sitting there to move up a seat," she finished and I nodded. We went to sit at the desks. The bell rung.

"Alright class, for this book's project, I want you to create a creative poster with a class partner," she explained. "Now the poster is to show an arguement between a problem. For example, since we just finished reading, Of Mice and Men, I want you to name an arguement like: 'George was not mean to Lenny because...' and finish the thought. You can choose any arguement you want at least it's appropriate. I've got you partnered up and the poster's due in two weeks." She started saying unfamiliar names and I didn't pay much attention as I scribbled on the piece of paper Rin gave me.

"Somehow, by damn fate, we got stuck together," he said as he looked over at Rin. "You can come over to my house to work on it. We'll do the planning today after school, at six?" he asked as she nodded.

"Sure why not?" she answered and he looked at her annoyed. I see he doesn't like her that much.

"Okay then, see you then," they then did something in their English books and I just sat there following along.

------

5:30 PM

------

"Kohaku! No really! It's a project! No no! I love you only and you know so!" Rin yelled as I layed stomach on the bed as I drew random things. "What?! I can't do that! You know I'm faithful! Okay okay, fine. I'll think of something. Right. Okay, love you too." And she hung up as she sighed. I looked up to her.

"You alright?" I asked as she sighed again and looked over at me.

"No, Kohaku won't let me go over to his house to work on the project and he told me he'll come get me to hang out and just so I won't go, now I have to make up some stupid excuse so I wouldn't have to go," she said face falling first on the bed.

"Hey! I was drawing!" I said as I looked at the line I messed up on because she fell on the bed. She looked up to me and then her eyes glowed with excitement as she jumped up.

"Rin! I know!" she exclaimed. I looked at her in horror.

"What?" I asked.

"You'll go and pretend you're me!"

"WHAT?!"

--------

So here I am, at the gates of the huge mansion. I pressed the doorbell as the intercom came on.

"Taishou residence, who may this be?"

"I'm Rinaka, I'm here to work on an English project," I replied. The gates opened and I walked in. The pathway seemed like it went on forever until it reached the house. When I did reach it in two minutes a butler showed me in.

"The young master will be here shortly, please have a seat, if you need anything just ask," he said as I nodded, wait, I had to at least try acting like Rinaka.

"Alright!" I said smiling. "Say, what's that over there?" I asked walking closer to it.

"Ms. Rinaka! Please have a seat!" I clicked one of my eyes shut as I sat on the luxorious couch. It seemed like forever until the butler greeted:

"Young Master," he said as I got up. My eyes trailed on the ground and I was dead shock to find my eyes glued to gold eyes. This couldn't be...It just couldn't...
