Chapter 14- Why I fail at History

The next few minutes of my life were a blur. It consisted of Sesshomaru dragging me downstairs and standing in front of my family with our hands intertwined. Mom and Dad seemed confused by our actions, but the best thing was Mika expression. It was priceless.

I was still in a daze when my Mom asked what was going on.

My mouth opened but nothing came out. I was a sitting duck in the middle of the foyer. Thank god for Sesshomaru. "We thought we would tell you that I'm the father of the child." He said that so easily. It took so much effort for me to even ask Mom if she could make me a sandwich, but he was so quick to take action. His velvet voice just spilled the beans so perfectly. Hold on…spilled the beans? Crap.

"Pardon?" she asked. She was looking at me, wasn't she? Oh, Canada here I come. "Rin? Mind explaining what he means?"

She just asked the impossible from me. There was no way I could speak under this pressure. So Sesshomaru ended up speaking on my behalf. "Rin and I are mates. She's-"

"I'm sorry, are you my daughter? No." She snapped. "I'm speaking to Rin." Damn, it didn't work.

I couldn't do it. I couldn't just say, "I'm pregnant with Sesshomaru Takahashi's child, and me and him are mates." Now could I? Oh wait; did I just say that out loud?

A sound of glass shattering echoed from the kitchen, followed by my Dad's angry voice. "What!?" Yup, I did say that out loud. Great job, Rin. And along came my Dad the giant, stomping into the hallway. He was like the BFG, big friendly giant, minus the friendly part. He was more like the BAG, big angry giant. "You…you had sex with my daughter!?" Oh good, he wasn't talking to me. "You…monster! Get the hell away from her!"

Dad grabbed my arm, trying to pull me away from Sesshomaru. Bad move. Never, ever, take away a demon's mate. My Dad had to let go of me before…a low warning growl sound came from Sesshomaru. "Dad," I whispered. "Please you have let me go."

Just before he did, a loud snarl came from Sesshomaru, his fangs were bared and eyes blood red. My Dad let me go immediately after that. I didn't want my parents to get hurt which were one of my other fears when we told them the truth. Sesshomaru had become very possessive of me and if something were to happen, there would be serious consequences. My parents would have no choice. They either had to accept what is, and leave me be or let Sesshomaru take me away forever. That meant I no longer had to go to Canada! Hooray! Either way, though, my parents would have to let Sesshomaru take care of me.

"I'm going to make things perfectly clear. Rin and I are mates and while she is caring my offspring, I'll be keeping an eye on her," Sesshomaru said with a cold, hard tone that could make anyone cringed in fear, including me. "Understand?"

Both my parents were not happy, and why would they? Their daughter was pregnant with her history teacher. If it was my child, I wouldn't be happy too. But tough cookies, they would have to deal with it. "Fine, but she remains here under our care," my Father answered.

"Very well."

My Mom didn't speak. She wouldn't even look at me. I felt like our relationship had officially been ruined. She would never trust me again. But at least they knew the truth….and that made me happy. Just kidding, it didn't. My Dad was disappointed in me, my Mom wouldn't talk to me, Mika probably wanted to kill me, Jun was freaking me out with his stare, and the twins, well their five so there wasn't a lot they can do. Except annoy me to death with their train whistles.

Soon Sesshomaru announced he was leaving. This made me nervous because a) I would be alone with my parents and b) I would be alone with Mika. Either way, I would be alone with somebody or it would be with somebody that didn't like me.

I saw him out and before he left, he whispered, "Rin, I'll see you tonight."

Tonight? I wasn't going anywhere tonight…what was he talking about… Oh, I get it. All I did was nod to him and close the front door. When I turned back to my parents, I wasn't surprised to see them gone. Mika was still standing at the entry way of the dining room, glaring at me with force. She now hated me more. Her eyes reminded me of a serial killer's. If her eyes could kill, I would be dead.

I moved around her slowly and sat down back at the dining table. I was still hungry, and at this time, would eat anything. While I was figuring out what to fill my stomach and my babies, the twins were playing with their whistles and their desert. Huh, pudding sounded really good.

"Hey!" Jiro cried, "You got pudding in my whistle!"

"And you got whistle in my pudding!" Ichiro cried out too.

Then Jiro decided to try and get the pudding out of his whistle by blowing it out. This ended in chocolate pudding being splattered all over my face. For some reason, I wasn't hungry anymore, so I went to my bedroom without a word.

When I was alone, I slid down my door, completely melancholy. Or at least I thought I was alone. It wasn't until I found Sesshomaru sitting beside me that I knew I was not alone in this. I had him and would always have him.

He pulled me closer to him, letting me cry into his chest. And that is where I fell asleep for the night.

xXx

If I could show a picture of what my head felt like, it would be a picture of a nuclear bomb going off. My brain was internally damaged from all the dates, names, and definitions I had to remember for the history final. What was wrong with Sesshomaru? Was he trying to kill me? Making me brain dead? Because if I kept studying any longer…well let's just say I wouldn't be able to do the test.

I had been a four weeks since the truth had been spoken. My parents were still not content about Sesshomaru being my mate and grounded me until the birth of my child. My Mom never spoke to me again and my Dad would only speak to me when dinner was ready. It was very quiet at the dinner table.

Mika also had become stranger by the day. Her cold, hard glare now became the most evil look ever. I didn't trusted her and felt like maybe she was planning something. She did have a lot of time on her hands since her community service was over, so I didn't blame her. But it was still creepy.

Sesshomaru came into my room three times a week to check up on me and appeared during the weekends when my parents were out for the day. He would pick me up for school and drop me off. I saw a lot of him, and every day he became more and more possessive. I even saw him sit at an empty table in the cafeteria. Inuyasha was not happy.

Ami's glares had become less and less, and soon she gave up. Our detention ended a few weeks back but whatever she was doing before, she was no longer doing it. For some reason her eyes had turned sad and she had become quiet, like someone had stolen her sunshine and replaced it with sheer darkness. I haven't even heard one single rumor or gossip for over two weeks. It was so quiet in the school; I could hear crickets.

During my years in school with Ami, her gossip had been my only source of entertainment. It was one of the things I looked forward to when I went to school, only if it wasn't about me.

What could've happened to her that made her so sad?

Whatever it was, I hope she was at least ready for the test because hell…I was far from ready.

When Sesshomaru picked me up that morning, I literally looked like a zombie. And why? Because I was up all night killing my brain and ended up coming out in what I call my clown suit. And what is my clown suit? It consisted of purple with lime green poke-a-dot leggings and a very large, black hoodie that made me look like the grim reaper. I wish I was the grim reaper then I would kill this test I was about to take.

"Rin, what are those?" Sesshomaru asked, pointing to my pants.

I didn't say anything but stare at him with zombie like eyes. He better leave me alone or I would eat his brains. Hey, maybe eating his brains will help me pass this test. And when he dropped me off at my corner, I was too zoned out to even move.

He shook me lightly. "Rin."

"Eh?" I managed to say.

"You need to leave the car. You'll be late."

I stared at him for a second. Then a second became a minute, and a minute became two minutes, and well…I think Sesshomaru gave up and decided to just drive the rest of the way to the school. He even had to open my door and pull me out. Wow was I ever out of it. And since I couldn't have any caffeine, I was living off any energy I had. Which happened to be none.

I was so out of it; I walked right into the door, earning a small chuckle from Sesshomaru. "Shut up," I slurred.

"Oh, she speaks."

"This is your fault," and that is all I said to him as we went our separate ways.

On the way to my locker, the floor was beginning to look very comfortable. I was so tired that I didn't notice Ayame standing by my locker speaking to me rapidly. Looks like I wasn't the only one who didn't get any sleep.

When Ayame doesn't sleep, she ends up talking. A lot. And never shuts up. "God, Ayame! Don't you ever shut up?" I snapped.

"No, not when I'm awake," she answered proudly, looking out into the distance.

"I can see…er…hear that."

She blinked and looked back at me with bright eyes. Made me sick. "Anyways, are you ready for our History final?"

I looked at my locker, way too lazy to open it. "Define ready."

"Well I can say that everyone knows how I feel," she smiled. Her words sounded like low moos of cows. Loud and annoying. I sighed, not even commenting on her words. But apparently she wasn't done. "Do you want to know why?"

"No, not really," I mumbled.

"Well, I'll tell you why. Everyone at school knows I did my hair at 7:30 and ate breakfast at 8:00. How did we live before social media?"

"I truly don't know," I answered in a monotone voice. See this is what Ayame is like when she's living off of no sleep.

"I would've died if Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, or Instagram didn't exist."

Now she sounded like a snobby teenager. "Yes, how did we live before them?"

"I don't even know."

We arrived in class early for the exam and once my head hit my desk, I was fast asleep. Until I awoke a few minutes later by Sesshomaru and a classroom full of giggles. I realized that the few minutes was more like twenty. Why!?

Then right in front of me was the one thing I had been dreading to see for the last four months, my History final.

Alright history final, you were going down! Down to Chinatown!

But once I looked at the first question…I was dead. Goodbye graduation. Goodbye freedom. History final, one; Rin, zero. All I wanted to do was scream out, 'this is a DISASTER!' but I didn't. I've learned my lesson the first time.

During the final, I kept looking up at Sesshomaru, trying to see if I could get some answers hidden under those cold, hard, beautiful, sexy eyes of his. There was none. But I did get a wink from him.

This is why I fail at History because he's in the way. It's so easy to get an A, he said. All you have to do it pay attention in class, he said. Ha! How could I pay attention with you teaching?

In the last five minutes of the test I ended up winging it and blindly circling random answers. Thank goodness for multiple choice. And when the bell rang, I didn't even stay or speak to him. I was too embarrassed.

My Japan literature exam went fairly well and I was confident I passed, and if a pass was good enough for monkey, it's good enough for me. Wait, where did I get monkey from? I was still tired. It was the only explanation.

My mind had started to play tricks on me too because when I entered the cafeteria, I found Ami sitting away from her friend. Yeah, seriously. What was going on? I had to be hallucinating or something but when I walked over and tapped her on the shoulder, I knew it was no illusion. "What?" she snapped.

I ignored her little snapping turtle and smiled. "Hey, I saw you sitting over her and thought you would like to join us at our table."

She narrowed her eyes at me before saying, "Are you crazy? Why would I ever want to sit with losers like you? Go away."

Well at least she was still the same Ami in attitude. But even though she was still a bitch didn't mean I had to be. Here she was sitting by herself. That's why I came over to ask if she wanted some company. Even after all our fights and bad history, I still wanted to make peace. But it looked like she didn't want to.

So I left and started to walk to my table to catch some good z's.

"Wait," she called me back. "I'm sorry."

Whoa, did she just apologise? Now I knew something was not right. "Don't worry about it. You coming?"

She smiled at me softly before grabbing her stuff and following me to the table.

When we sat down, we're immediately caught by stares. "Jakostu, close your mouth or you'll catch flies," I commented.

Ayame pulled my arm towards her. "Rin, are you crazy? Why is she here?" she asked, low.

"I thought she could join us today." I replied in the same tone.

"Why?"

"Because she was sitting alone and I thought it would be a nice thing to do."

"Oh so now you're best of friends? May I remind you what she has done?"

"I know Ayame. Settle down."

"Um, I think I'll just sit back down at my own table," Ami grinned, preparing to leave.

"No!" I stopped her. "Sit! It's okay. Ayame is just…hard to convince."

"No, I just don't like her," Ayame corrected, taking a bit of her carrot stick.

"It's okay. I'll just leave. I can see I'm making you guys uncomfortable."

"No. Stay," I said. "Why are you sitting alone anyways? Why aren't you with…um…" Crap, I didn't remember the names.

Ami sighed sadly, "They aren't my friends anymore."

I was curious to know why but I felt like if I dug into the subject, Ami might lose it.

"Then forget about them," I smiled. "You can sit here any time you want."

"Why are you being so nice to me?" she asked.

"Yeah, Rin, why?" Ayame added.

"I don't know. Probably because I know how you feel. Too be alone."

"I made you feel that way didn't I," Ami asked, looking down. "I'm sorry. For everything."

"Oh no, it wasn't completely your fault. I've been having family issues. It happens."

It was a few minutes before one of us spoke again, and I must say it was the most awkward few mintues of my life.

Then she spoke. "It was Kikyo," she confessed. "She made a rumor about me being…pregnant."

I was shocked at a few things. First was that she came out and said why she was feeling so sad, and the second was the rumor about her being pregnant. I didn't remember any rumor going around school. Then again, I didn't remember much from the last few weeks on account of Sesshomaru's homework load, drama at home, and Sesshomaru drama.

"I see," I answered. I really didn't know what else to say. Everyone at the table however leaned in closer to hear more. "Why?"

She hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "It's because I am. I'm pregnant."
