I don't know about you people, but I had an AWESOME Christmas! I got like
everything I wanted. YES!
Inuyasha'sDreamGRL: Thanks so much! This story is so fun to write, I read it over and over and over.. you get the point. Your story is really good, too! I'm really glad that you asked me to read it!
Freak of All: LOL, nice review. I'm glad that you like it, and thank you SO much for the review.
Super-Kitsune: It's been GREAT getting to know you! I still don't get how you type with only your index fingers, I've been practicing, really! My other fingers start feeling neglected after a while... As a matter of fact, THIS is being typed with my index fingers. Think I'll stop now.. glad you like the story!!
Naanaami: I know, doesn't it? I had fun making him seem like this super- perverted jock, MWAHAHAHAHA!
Dragon-Priestess: Yeah, well your description fits an angel really well, LOL. Merry Christmas to you too! About the "doll" thing, you'll see in the chapter...
Cricket-chan: Oh good, you still like this story! I thought you deserted me! Hehehehe.. I know, my friend was telling me about how her little sister kept pressing the New Blank Document button on the tool-bar, and I thought it would be cute if Shippo did that. I know, Kouga is soooo perverted!! Ice cream? None for ME? How dare you! J/K glad you like the fic.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inu-yasha. But the sad part is that I don't. The upside of THAT is that you all can't sue me. So I guess it all evens out.
Also! Rei Takahashi is NOT mine. She's a character of Dragon-Priestess's.
Now let's get to the fic. It's Rei's point of view
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
DOLL?! I know, it's 6:30, right after dinner, and I can't get over a word I heard in FIRST PERIOD, but DOLL?! Doesn't he know a dark elf when he sees one? I refuse to accept the fact that I LIKE him! This is not right! Emotions make you weak. I can't afford to be weak. "Everyone is your enemy". That's the saying with which I've been brought up my whole life. If someone sees a weakness, they'll start hammering at it, like a gem-cutter cuts at a jewel's flaws. No gem-cutter will find a flaw in ME.
Once I told a human friend about the "Everyone is your enemy" quote. I actually trusted someone, can you believe that? I think her name was Rin. It seems like it happened ages ago, I think it was in 6th grade. I had just said "I can't afford to have someone KNOW me, Rin."
She just looked at me with this sad expression on her face. I didn't like it. I didn't WANT it. I can't deal with pity. She just said, "And yet, if everyone is your enemy, then the someone must be a friend."
We moved the next day. I didn't get to say good-bye. I still remember her really well. She is perhaps the only person outside of family that I have trusted. I hope she knows that, wherever she is. She was the "someone".
What would Rin say if I told her I liked someone? She would probably start talking about learning to trust, and all that. Is it possible to have two "someones"?
That idiot Kouga. Here's what happened after the frickin' DOLL incident.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rei just stared at him. You could have burned something on her cheeks, they felt so much like flames.
"I-I," she stuttered helplessly. "S-sorry.."
Kouga smirked and sat down cockily. All at once, Rei's anger returned. "Damn you, " she muttered under her breath.
Kouga's ears twitched. "You, too," he muttered back. Rei pinched herself hard. He was a youkai. She KNEW that!
A certain silver haired hanyou overheard their words, and snickered to himself. He stretched his arms above his head and yawned. Kouga glared at him. HE was the most popular guy in the school. Not some jerk who just sauntered in one day with a saucy smile on his face. "So teach," the boy said lazily. "Should we like, introduce ourselves or what?"
"R-right," the young teacher blushed. "Go ahead, right.. please state your name---"
"Former school, age, and a few random things about you," another boy cut her off. He flashed the teacher a charming smile and hear blush went from pink to rose.
Rei recognized these two as Inu-yasha and Miroku, two of the three people she had met on the train. Her eyes surreptitiously swept the room and landed on Sango, who was currently burying her face in her hands, muttering something incomprehensible even to Rei's elven ears.
Inu-yasha stood up first. "Hey," he grinned. Half the girls in the room fainted. His golden eyes were smug. "My name is Inu-yasha, I used to go to Sakura High, I'm 16, and I love girls" he winked, and the ones that had fainted started to drool. "And practicing with my sword. I think that's about all." He sat down. "Oh yeah, and I'm half demon," he called out as an afterthought.
Sango stood up before Miroku had a chance.
"My name's Sango," she started off. The boy sitting next to Rei gulped audibly. She rolled her eyes. "I also came from Sakura High, I'm 15 and a half, and I'm a youkai exterminator. I know plenty of tricks. But it doesn't stop me from having fun," she smiled. Rei smiled inwardly. Sango was a wonderful person. She had chatted with her a bit on the train.
Miroku stood up after Sango slipped back into her seat. He frowned at the drooling boys. Kouga was not among them, Rei noted, her heart giving a little lurch. She glared at the wall, not being able to glare at her heart.
"The lovely Lady Sango forgot to mention I was her boyfriend," Miroku deadpanned. A girl began to sob. A flurry of whispers followed.
"He's TAKEN?! But, I WANTED him!"
"This isn't fair! He's so cute!"
"Oh well, at least the Inu-yasha guy is still single, I'm hitting on him right after school."
Rei's mouth twisted in disgust. The boy beside her was whimpering pitifully. After about 30 seconds, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Shut UP, pathetic mortal! It's not the end of the world!" she hissed.
He glared at her, but his sobs subsided.
Through all of this, Miroku stood and smiled placidly. As the talk died down, he continued.
"My name is Miroku, and I come from Sakura High with Inu-yasha and Sango. I'm 16, a few months younger than Inu-yasha, and I'm in training to be a monk. That doesn't keep me from the ladies though," he grinned. The sobbing girl from before got tiny little stars of hope in her eyes.
Rei stood silently. It took a while for the non-youkai's to see her. Half of her was covered in shadow from the wall.
"My name is Rei Takahashi," she said. Her voice was soft, but everyone could hear it perfectly. All of a sudden, the room was perfectly quiet. When she spoke again, her voice cut through the silence like a dull knife.
"Unlike Sango, Miroku, and Inu-yasha, I do not come from Sakura High. I came from somewhere that is none of your concern." Rei never HAD liked telling strangers things about herself. She didn't see the point. They might turn it into a weakness. I am 16 next week, and I am a dark elf. That will be all."
She smiled, showing straight, white teeth, and sat down noiselessly.
The rest of the class commenced without incident. Rei almost fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I am still seething over that DOLL comment! I think I'll go meditate now, imagining that I am a flower, turning towards the sun. Petals opening one by one. Fare you well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok, how was that? It was a little more serious than what I usually do, but I think it was ok. Thank you, everyone, for all the reviews. I LOVE you!
