Hello again! We lost our game yesterday by 2. I've got another playoff today, and if we lose we're eliminated. Damn. Well, anyways, hope you like this chapter! Review peoples! Oh yeh, and gotta do some review responses as well.
Izzie: Nah, you don't sound like a teacher, you just sound like a fan. ^^
Wicchick: ok, you can have one. I'm giving them away at the end of the chapter, so you can be the one of the first to have one! Oh, and Faita means fighter, Sango means coral, I think.
Cristina: I probably won't add Ayame in here, because I've only gotten to episode 36, so I don't really know much about her other than she likes Kouga. Sorry.
EvilBunnies: Hmm, interesting suggestions. *rubs chin thoughtfully* I'll see what I can do with them. And your cough speaks the truth!
Shimotsuki: I know it's not very original, but I'm glad it got you hooked! I like hooking people!
Jazzy: Um, sure, but I'm not going to put you in for very long. I don't think I can make you Kagome's roommate, so I think I'll have to put you with Kikyou! Don't worry I'll make sure you bash her. ;p
Inu91: Glad you like it! Your right, it is fanfiction, so I can right whatever it want! Well, not really, but I can right a lot of things!
Shisou: I don't read the manga, so I wouldn't know, but I'm glad the personalities are close!
Inuyddam: Yeh, I see a lot of stories with just Inu/Kag and Mir/San without the Sess/Rin, and that's my favorite pairing! I love to entertain readers, especially if it makes me a popular writer! ^^
Silver Eyes Bright: yeh, I know it's my job. *looks sad* but it's really hard to see the ball coming when, a) you're the person it's coming at. B) you have 15 year olds nailing it. So anyway, I hope you get to be catcher!
Rachel: *watches as Rachel runs around the room* Yeh, I'm sad that the arrow didn't kill her as well. *sees Kikyou going after readers with a knife and pushes her off a cliff* I'm mad that Inuyasha was taken off as well, but I heard that it's coming back on in August with new episodes! ^^ Have fun shopping!
Loozer-09: yeh, those did hurt. Well, Mr. Miller is a real teacher, but I didn't have him. I heard that he was a really fun guy, though. I just took my social studies teacher's love of games and put it with Mr. Miller. That jeopardy game that I wrote about, well, we used to play that, only with social study questions. And I think they do have some sort of P.E. in college. Bye!
Well, that's about it. Enjoy!
College is Life & College is Hell
Kagome stepped out of the shower the next morning fresh and ready for a new day at college. Rin and Sango stood up and followed her out the door. They were met by the guys, who had also just exited their dorm. They said their good mornings and headed down to breakfast. Nothing much happened (Kikyou didn't show up for breakfast) so they all just talked about what they hoped their day was going to be like. Suddenly, Sango brought up something that Kagome hadn't heard about before.
"So, are you going to the start-of-term dance this weekend?" Sango asked Kagome. "Rin said that she was going, but I haven't gotten your response yet." Kagome blinked in surprise.
"I didn't know there was going to be one," Kagome said. "No one told me about it."
"Well, it's going to be taking place in the dance hall on Saturday," Rin explained. "It'll be held from 7 p.m. 'til midnight. There's going to be a DJ and a snack bar there. So, will you go?"
"Sure," Kagome said, shrugging. "What about you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha also shrugged.
"I'll go, as long as there's a snack bar," he replied. Everyone rolled their eyes.
Instead of having gym, Rin was going to band while Kagome and Inuyasha were headed to choir. Inuyasha stated that he never really liked to sing, but he had never wanted to play an instrument so choir was his only option. Sesshoumaru wouldn't mention where he was going, and Rin didn't ask him. He left before them to collect his things, and the rest of the group followed about 5 minutes after he left. Rin went and grabbed her flute while Kagome and Inuyasha went straight to the choir room.
Rin's POV:
Once Rin had collected her flute from the room, she went to the band room, which happened to be right across from the choir room. Once Rin entered, she looked around. Students were standing around the room talking to one another, some holding instruments and some not. Looking over to the corner of the room, she spotted…
"Sesshoumaru!" Rin jogged over to him. "I didn't know you played an instrument! What do you play?"
"Cello," he replied. "How about you?"
"Oh, I play the flute," she said happily, showing him her case. Just then, someone at the front of the room clapped and everyone turned around. A woman with blonde hair pulled up into a messy bun and light blue eyes was looking around the room.
"Hello, my name is Ms. Bansou. Now, I want you all to sit down according to what instrument you play. The percussions will sit in the back rows, the strings will sit in front of them on the far left, the woodwinds will sit in the front middle section, and the bass' will sit in the far right seats." Everyone moved around to their specific sections. Sesshoumaru sat in the back-right corner of the strings section while Rin sat close to him in the woodwinds section. *sorry if this isn't how they do it, but I've never been in band before, only choir.* "Ok, now to refresh your playing skills, we're going to do a simple warm-up. I will have each of the section play a scale, and then you will all practice the scale together. We'll start with the percussionists." They all got through the warm-ups quickly enough. Sesshoumaru was surprised at how well Rin played, even if they were just warming up. She practiced as though she were playing an actually song. Once the last instrument had stopped playing, Ms. Bansou spoke up again. "Very nice. Now I want all of you to come up and right down some information for me on this sheet of paper. You will right you name, age, what instrument you play, and how many years you have been playing it. After that, you may talk until class is dismissed." The class all set down their instruments and lined up. Sesshoumaru was in front of Rin. Once Sesshoumaru was done writing him information, he stepped away and Rin picked up the pencil. She saw that Sesshoumaru was 21 and he had been playing the cello for 9 years. Rin looked down at the empty space under his and wrote down; Koji Rin, 19, flute, 11 years. She sat the pencil down and walked over to Sesshoumaru.
"So you've been playing the cello since junior high," Rin said once she reached him. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at her.
"When did I say you could read the information?" Sesshoumaru asked her. Rin shrugged.
"You didn't, but even if you had said that I couldn't, I wouldn't have listened to you."
"So you wouldn't listen to me if I told you to go away?" Rin stuck out her bottom lip.
"You hurt me with your cruel words, but no, I wouldn't to go away until I wanted to, and right now I don't want to." She looked at Sesshoumaru out of the corner of her eye. "Do you want me to leave you alone?" Sesshoumaru let out a small smile.
"No, I don't mind if you stay," he replied. He faced her and saw that she was smiling widely at him. "What?"
"It's just," Rin said, "I've never seen you truly smile before. You look good when you do."
"Do I look better when I smile by myself, or when you force my mouth up?" Sesshoumaru asked in a slightly teasing voice.
"When you smile by yourself, of course. I don't want to do all the work for you!" Still smiling slightly, Sesshoumaru changed the subject.
"So are you going to that dance on Saturday?" he asked.
"Yeh, are you going?" Sesshoumaru shrugged and nodded. "Cool." Just then, the bell rang for the end of class.
"You may leave your instruments in one of the cubbies if you want!" Ms. Bansou told them, before disappearing into her office. Rin took her flute with her, saying that it was a present from her dad and that she didn't want it stolen, while Sesshoumaru set his cello in a corner at the back of the room. They both then headed up to their dorms together to gather their things for history.
Inu and Kag's POV, choir:
Inuyasha and Kagome watched as Mrs. Aishou went around to all of them and asked them what their singing pitch was. When she reached Kagome, Kagome replied "Soprano," and was told to stand in the third row on the far left of the room next to a girl with red hair and brilliant green eyes. The girl introduced herself as Jessie. Inuyasha announced that he was bass singer and was told to stand in the back row of the section to the right of the sopranos. He went and stood next to a boy with not very much hair and a pointed face. Inuyasha later found out that his name was Monten, and he was the younger brother of Hiten from Inuyasha's chemistry class. Just as Mrs. Aishou assigned the last student to their spot, who should burst into the room but Kikyou. Looking at Mrs. Aishou with worried eyes, Kikyou burst out, "I'm sorry I'm late Mrs. Aishou, but I was talking to the headma…"
"I know Ms. Seitai, your friend Yura told me that you were talking to him. What pitch do you usually sing?"
Looking relieved, Kikyou replied, "Oh, I sing Soprano most of the time."
"Very well then, you may go and stand next to Ms. Higurashi," Mrs. Aishou said. Eyes hardening, Kikyou turned to Kagome and smirked evilly. Kagome swallowed hard at the look Kikyou was giving her. Inuyasha saw this and had the urge to growl at her. 'Wait a minute,' Inuyasha thought, shaking his head slightly. 'Why am I feeling so protective of her all of a sudden? It's not like I care for her or anything. And besides, she can take care of herself. Great, now I'm talking to myself. Get back to real life Inuyasha!' He focused his gaze back on the teacher, but it soon drifted over to Kagome's direction again. Kikyou now stood next to her, and Kagome was edging away from her. Mrs. Aishou was now giving them the numbers of the music folders. Inuyasha and Monten shared folder 21 and Kagome and Kikyou shared folder 14. Fortunately, Kikyou didn't do anything for the whole class, since everyone was carefully watched by Mrs. Aishou. However, once the bell rang to signal the end of class, she turned her back to them. Inuyasha looked over and his eyes narrowed. Kikyou had leaned over and whispered something to Kagome. Even though he had better hearing than most people, he still couldn't hear the words that made Kagome's eyes widen in fear. Kikyou walked off as Inuyasha rushed over to her.
"What did she say Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, sounding concerned. "What did she tell you?"
"It's nothing," Kagome muttered. Inuyasha kept on asking her, but she refused to tell him, so he finally just gave up. Kagome just stared at the ground as they walked towards history, Kikyou's words still ringing clearly in her ears. "You'll get yours bitch," Kikyou had whispered threateningly into her ear. "I'll make sure of it."
The week flew by quicker than anyone could have imagined. Kikyou hadn't even gone near Kagome, even during Phy Ed, where she had perfect access to all sorts of things than could harm her. Inuyasha stayed close by, now slightly grateful that he had all of his classes with Kagome. Biology didn't go so well on the second day of classes. Mrs. Nakaguri had spent the whole class talking about things they had known since grade school. At the end of class, she had asked them, "So, who do you think is a better teacher; Mr. Miller or myself?"
"Mr. Miller!" the class had shouted, causing Mrs. Nakaguri to give them all a very ugly look. "Get out of here before I give you all detentions," she snapped before turning and walking briskly into her office. Everyone had just rolled their eyes and walked out the door. Their teacher for World Cultures was still kind of scary, but when she wasn't in a bad mood she was actually quite nice. She let them listen to music while they were working, she didn't give them much work, and she talked about the field trip a little more. They now knew that they could choose their own group, as long as it had an equal number of boys and girls in it, but the teachers would be deciding where each group should go. Mrs. Myers in math kept on giving them lots of homework and detentions, even thought some students didn't have a clue as to why they had earned them. Chemistry was definitely everyone's favorite class, next to gym and World Cultures. The homework he gave out was almost fun to do, and they were never too hard. Whatever work they did in class he somehow made into an activity. All in all, it was a great class, and Kagome and Inuyasha were glad they had it to rap up their day.
Saturday morning finally arrived, and Kagome was sleeping peacefully in her bed. Well, she was sleeping peacefully in her bed, until…
"Kagome get up!"
"Rise and shine Kagome! It's Saturday!" Kagome just groaned and rolled over. Why the heck where they telling her to wake up on a Saturday morning? Those girls really had to get their brains examined, 'cause something was definitely wrong with them.
"Why are you waking me up on a Saturday morning?" Kagome asked sleepily, still not opening her eyes.
"You know that dance that's gonna be held today?" Rin said. Kagome nodded, opening her eyes slightly. "Well, we decided to go shopping and get something nice for it!"
"Going shopping where?" Kagome asked, sitting up.
"Well, we found out that there's a mall on campus!" Sango exclaimed happily. Now Kagome was awake.
"There is! Cool!" Kagome said. Sango grinned at her. She already had on a purple skirt with a green blouse. Rin, who was wearing flares and a blue shirt with loose, long sleeves, was tying her hair up into a messy braid. Kagome hopped out of bed and threw on some clothes. "When are we going?" Kagome asked, putting on some sandals.
"After we eat," said Rin. "We'll be spending the entire day shopping." *just to let you guys know, I've been to my sister's college, and that thing is about 5 miles long, so it's very possible to have a mall there.*
"Fun," Kagome replied. Once the girls were ready, they headed down to the cafeteria to grab a quick breakfast. They all bought milk and a cereal bar. Looking at a map of the entire campus, the girls found that the mall was at the other side, about 2 miles away. Sango led them all outside to her car. It was a red corvette, and the top was currently down.
"Wow Sango," said Rin, looking at the car in awe. "I didn't know you could afford a car like this." Sango smiled at her.
"My dad bought it for me," Sango stated, unlocking the doors and hopping into the driver's seat. "He's a high-ranking police officer and he makes a lot of money. He bought me this for my 16th birthday." The girls nodded and got in as well. Rin sat behind them while Kagome got in next to Sango. Sango had put on some sunglasses, making her look very cool. Sango then started the ignition and soon they were cruising down the road. They got to the mall in no time at all. *hey, that rhymes! Laugh laugh* The mall there wasn't as big as most malls Kagome had been to, but it was pretty nice. It had 2 floors filled with shops and restaurants.
They didn't get to the clothes as quickly as they wanted to, because Rin's eyes had gone all wide when she spotted a Claire's. She had stopped them for 15 minutes to look at jewelry before they could go. They found a JC Penny's at the end of the mall and located the dresses. Once they found them, Kagome spotted the perfect one. It was sparkly and black, reached down to her knees. There was only one sleeve to hold the dress up. Kagome snatched it off the rack and tried it on. It fit her like a glove, showing all the right curves yet not revealing too much skin. Kagome modeled it in front of her friends, and they complimented her on how great she looked.
"Are you just trying to impress Inuyasha?" Sango asked, winking. Kagome just rolled her eyes and ignored her friend. Looking down at the price tag, she frowned slightly. The dress was expensive, but she'd buy it anyway. Who had ever heard of a perfect dress that came cheap? Rin and Sango found their dresses right after her. Rin's dress was blue and lavender blended together, was also covered in sparkles, and had a single slit coming up to her center thigh. Sango's dress was a deep magenta color, had a hole in the center to show off her stomach, and had two slits coming up just below her thigh. Both of their outfits were just as expensive as Kagome's, but they all bought theirs anyway. Sango treated them all to pizza, and they basically just wondered around the mall after that. Rin bought them all ice cream at around 3 o'clock, and at 5 Kagome paid them all back by taking them to an Applebees. The girls all headed back an hour before the dance started to get ready. Sango put on some eye shadow that matched the color of her dress. She took her hair down out of its usual ponytail so that her dark brown waves framed her face. Kagome put her hair up into a messy yet stylish bun and applied a light coat of lip gloss to her lips. Rin redid her braid and wound that up into a stylish design. She applied eye shadow, blush, and lip gloss to her skin. They walked outside, and, as usual, the boys came out at the exact same time. The girls had to keep their jaws from dropping, as did the guys. Inuyasha had dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. Miroku had on a purple, button up, tight shirt with the top three buttons open and loose black pants. Sesshoumaru wore a muscle-showing white shirt with red patterns on the shoulders and stomach and baggy gray pants. All in all, they all looked extremely hot. They boys were probably thinking the same way about the girls. Inuyasha was the first to break the silence.
"Well, you girls look, uh, nice."
"Nice?" Miroku exclaimed. "I couldn't picture any lovelier creatures at the moment." He was looking at Sango when he said this, causing her to flush a color that rivaled her dress. Miroku stepped closer to her and bowed. "Lovely Sango, will you please accompany me to the dance?"
"Um, well," Sango said, looking around at everyone. Kagome and Rin were giving her encouraging looking, Inuyasha was snickering behind his hand, and Sesshoumaru was looking amused. Sango sighed. "Just promised me one thing Hitori-sama."
"Please call me Miroku," Miroku asked her, looking hopefully at her.
"Well Miroku, promise me that you will not put your ed little hands where they don't belong," Sango said. Miroku sighed.
"I'll try my best lady Sango," Miroku said, grinning charmingly at her and offering her his arm. Hesitating slightly, Sango caught Kagome and Rin's eye and took it. The two girls applauded her silently. The couple led the group down to the dance hall. The music and chattered got louder and louder as they approached. They looked around in awe as they entered. The room was dark with multi-colored lights moving around. Streamers and confetti were floating around in the air. A fog machine was going off somewhere and the entire floor was covered by the fake white mist. Music was blasting out of the large speakers at the opposite end of the room. Chairs and small tables were placed near the walls, out of the way of the dancers. Snack bars lined the walls and a DJ with black sunglasses finished it off. It was a pretty amazing sight. Suddenly, a new song came on and Rin gave an excited squeal. She literally leapt onto the dance floor. Sango also seemed to like the song, because she suddenly grabbed Miroku by the arm and dragged him onto the dance floor as well.
"Do you think they like each other?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, grinning. Inuyasha smirked.
"Most definitely," he said. He and Kagome walked over to the snack bar and stood there, watching the dancing students and making occasional comments.
"Hey Inuyasha, want some punch," Kagome asked, grabbing a cup for herself and filling it with fruit punch. Inuyasha shook his head.
"Nah, I'm not really a punch person." Kagome giggled.
"Are you sure, because it sure looked like you wanted to punch Kouga on the first day of classes," Kagome stated, smiling innocently at Inuyasha. He rolled his eyes.
"You know what I mean."
"Of course I do." Kagome took a sip of her punch. "Are you sure you don't want some of this? It tastes really good." Inuyasha shook his head.
"I think I'll just take some coke," he said, taking a can of Diet Coke and opening it. Kagome just shrugged and took another sip of her drink.
Rin's body twisted and turned with the music, moving gracefully as the words rang in her ears. She loved a lot of things, but she loved dancing the most. The song finished all too soon for her, and she stopped dancing. She spotted Sango and Miroku mixed in with the crowd and smiled. She had to admit that they made a very cute couple. Another song that she liked started up as her eyes landed on Sesshoumaru. He was standing off to the side, alone and looking at the moving bodies with no emotion in his eyes. Rin walked over to him.
"Hi!" she said cheerfully, catching his attention. "Are you having a good time?" Sesshoumaru didn't say anything, and she took that as a 'not really.' "Do you want to dance?"
"No thank you," Sesshoumaru said. "I'm not the type of person who dances, especially with fast songs such as this."
"Do you know how to dance?" Rin asked him. Sesshoumaru snorted indignantly.
"Of course I know how to dance, but this Sesshoumaru doesn't feel like it." Rin gave a silent laugh on how he addressed himself.
"Well this Rin wants Sesshoumaru to dance with her, and this Rin doesn't care if Sesshoumaru doesn't dance during fast songs." He glared at her as she mocked him.
"I refuse to dance and nothing you say will get me to dance," Sesshoumaru told her. By then, the song had ended and a slow song had come on. Rin pouted.
"I won't leave you alone until you dance. Please?" Rin begged, putting on the oh-so famous puppy-dog eyes. Sesshoumaru groaned inwardly when he saw those eyes. The look she was giving him now was the downfall for any man. Sesshoumaru finally sighed.
"Fine, I'll dance with you, but only if it means that you'll leave me alone and not make me dance anymore." Rin grinned widely at him, the look fading from her eyes.
"Deal," she said, grabbing his hand and dragging him out into the crowd of dancing couples. Sesshoumaru gave a disgusted look at a couple who were making out in the middle of the large group of people. Sesshoumaru's attention was drawn from them as he felt his hands being placed around Rin's thin waist. She laid her hands lightly on his shoulders and started moving to the beat of the softly playing music. Sesshoumaru moved with her gracefully, and the music and people began to fade away as they looked into each other's eyes. Sesshoumaru felt his eyes and heart soften as the warmth of Rin's chocolate colored eyes melted the coldness away. Rin found herself almost not blinking as his golden eyes drew her into a trance. They felt like they were dancing for hours instead of the few minutes that the song really lasted. They slowly danced to a stop as the song ended. Sesshoumaru drew his hands away from Rin's waist as he stepped slowly away from her. He bowed slightly before turning away from her, breaking eyes contact. Sesshoumaru had not wanted to look away, but he knew that he had to at some point. Rin sighed contently, yet she was slightly disappointed that the song had ended so soon. Wanting to take a break for a while, Rin headed over to one of the snack bars, stilling thinking about Sesshoumaru's beautiful, golden eyes.
Miroku and Sango had started dancing as soon as they stepped into the crowd. They both laughed at the ridiculous moves they were doing, as neither of them really had an experience in dancing, but none the less, they were having a great time. Once the slow song had come on, Miroku stopped dancing and bowed low to Sango.
"My dear Sango, will you please honor me with this dance?" Miroku asked politely. Sango flushed, but nodded. Miroku stepped closer to her and slid his arms around her waist, drawing her even closer to him, and causing Sango to blush furiously. She hesitantly put her hands on his shoulders as they started dancing. They spotted Rin and Sesshoumaru dancing a few feet away from them. Sango looked up at Miroku, and saw that he was staring at her.
"Miroku?" she said.
"Hmm?" Miroku replied, showing that he was listening to her.
"There's something I've been wondering," Sango began, wondering if she should ask him.
"And what would that be?"
"Well, um…" Sango hesitated, before blurting out, "How come I haven't seen you look at any other girl since we got here? I mean, I usually see you flirting with pretty girls, so why haven't you yet?" Sango lowered her head, embarrassed that at what she had said. She suddenly felt a hand on her chin, gently raising her head up to meet his gaze. He was looking at her kindly.
"I haven't looked at any other girl because your beauty is far greater than any other woman's," Miroku told her. Sango knew he wasn't lying; his eyes were telling her the exact same thing. Smiling gently at him, Sango lowered her head to rest on his well-toned chest. They stayed like that for the rest of the song, just enjoying each other's company.
Kagome and Inuyasha grinned widely when they spotted their friends dancing with each other.
"Miroku and Sango look so cute together," Kagome sighed. "Same with Rin and Sesshoumaru."
"Yeh," Inuyasha agreed. "I guess my brother is not so cold-hearted after all." Kagome got an idea in her head and blushed a little. Inuyasha noticed this. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing," Kagome said. "But, well, I was wondering if you wanted to dance." Inuyasha's eyes widened suddenly, causing him to go pink and Kagome to glow red.
"Uh, well," Inuyasha tried to decide what he should do. "I'm not really a good dancer."
"I don't mind," Kagome muttered. She suddenly spotted someone coming towards Inuyasha. "Unless you want to dance with Kikyou, 'cause I think she's going to ask you." Inuyasha whipped around and spotted Kikyou. She was wearing a red dress that showed a little more skin than Inuyasha liked, and she was wearing more make-up than most of the girls put together had on. She was trying to push her way through the crowd to get to them. Before Kagome knew it, Inuyasha was dragging her onto the center of the dancing floor and putting his arms around her waist. As they danced, Kagome said, "So I guess you really didn't want to dance with her." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"I'd rather dance with a frog," Inuyasha said. Kagome giggled at the comment. As they continued to dance, Kagome absentmindedly laid her head on Inuyasha's shoulder, not noticing him flushing. He cautiously placed his chin on her head, hoping her wouldn't pull away from him, but she didn't. Inuyasha's mind drifted off as they danced to the gentle music. As you might have guessed, his mind was now thinking about the girl in his arms. She wasn't like most girls. She didn't seem to pay attention to how he looked, with his unusual silver hair and his strange, golden eyes. She liked him for who he really was, she listened to what he had to say. Kagome didn't think he was a freak, and she didn't treat him any differently than she would with her other friends. That's what made her special in his eyes. Inuyasha breathed in her sent. She smelled like wild flowers and spring. He wondered if this was just the scent of her conditioner or if this was he actual smell. He didn't ask her though, just danced, never breaking the silence between them. When the song had ended, he had been reluctant to let her go. She drew away from him, smiling kindly up at him.
"Thank you Inuyasha. I really enjoyed that," Kagome said, before walking away. Inuyasha stared after her.
"So did I Kagome," he muttered to himself. "So did I."
The night was slowly coming to an end. People where heading to bed, although some still continued to dance. Sesshoumaru just stared into space, not thinking about anything in particular. He had been asked to dance a few more times by a group of girls who had been looking at him somewhat hungrily for the last few hours. Just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around, ready to refuse another offer to dance, but his gaze landed on Rin. She was grinning up at him as she usually, something seemed not quite right. Her eyes were slightly off and she was swaying a bit.
"Hi Sesshie," Rin said. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at the name and Rin's odd behavior. "Would you like some punch?" she asked, thrusting her glass of punch at him. "I think I'll go to bed now. Good night." And with that, she closed her eyes and started falling over backwards. Sesshoumaru quickly caught her and pulled her back up. Holding Rin with one arm, Sesshoumaru took the glass of punch away from her and sniffed it. His eyes narrowed into slits. A strong smell of alcohol had reached his nose; someone had dumped a large quantity of it into the punch. Throwing the cup into the garbage can, he picked Rin up and headed out of the room. He carried her back up to the dorms, ignoring her soft snores. Once her reached her room, he searched her pockets until her found the card to open the door. He slid it in and out of the slot next to the door and opened it. He walked inside and set her gently on the bed he knew was hers, due to the pictures on the desk next to it. He stared at her for a few minutes, taking in how innocent and pretty she looked when she slept. He brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes.
"Good night Rin," he said softly. He got up and walked out of the room, closing the door silently behind him.
Inuyasha looked around the room, trying to locate Miroku. He had seen Sesshoumaru walking out the door with Rin in his arms, so he knew she had also been drinking the punch. He was now supporting a half conscious Kagome, her arm draped over his shoulder as he kept her from falling. He had found out a little too late that the punch had been spiked, but by then Kagome had drunken about five glasses of it and was now drunk. He needed to find Miroku and Sango so that they could leave. It was almost midnight, anyway. He found Miroku, who was over at one of the bars and about to drink some punch.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled at him, causing Miroku to look up. "Don't drink the punch, it's spiked!" Miroku, looking shocked, set his glass down. "Do you know where Sango is?" Inuyasha asked him. Miroku nodded and pointed at a group of girls. Sango was listening to something they were saying. The two of them walked over there, Inuyasha having to half drag, half carry Kagome. Sango spotted them and smiled, until she saw Kagome.
"What happened to her?" Sango asked, worried about the condition of her friend.
"The punch was spiked," Inuyasha said. "Kagome had too much of it. We need to get her to bed." Sango nodded and they all left the dance hall. They all made their way up to their dorms, Inuyasha finally having to carry Kagome when she lost consciousness completely. They didn't talk during their short trip. Once they had reached their rooms, Sango had told Inuyasha that she would put Kagome to bed. Inuyasha nodded and set Kagome down. Sango supported her friends while turning to Miroku.
"I'll see you tomorrow Miroku," Sango said, giving him a peck on the check before disappearing into the room and shutting the door behind her. Inuyasha turned to his friend, who was looking extremely happy.
"Seems you finally managed for find a girl for you, hey Miroku," Inuyasha teased him.
"Yeh, I guess it's the same thing for you as well," stated Miroku, not looking at all embarrassed about Inuyasha's comment. Inuyasha, however, went pink.
"I don't like her like that!" Inuyasha exclaimed while Miroku slid his card into the slot next to the door. Miroku just grinned knowingly at him.
"Inuyasha, I saw you dancing with her. Trust me, you've got it bad." Miroku stepped inside the room, Inuyasha following him. They saw Sesshoumaru already asleep in his bed. Inuyasha yawned widely.
"Look Miroku, I don't have it bad for her. Now if you excuse me, I'm tired and I want to go to bed." Inuyasha flopped down on his bed, not bothering to change out of his clothes, and was sleeping in a matter of seconds. Miroku slid out of his clothes and into some shorts. He laid down and was soon dreaming about Sango's smiling face.
Was that enough fluff for ya? I just had to put some romance between all of them, so sorry if you think I was going to fast. I'm now giving out free t-shirts that read 'Experimenting is fun, especially when it blows up' with a picture of Kikyou holding a broken vile and green liquid all over the place. I'm also selling sugar-high ferrets for $5 each. They're extremely cute and cuddly, and are very useful at chasing away evil siblings and Kikyou's. I would like to give the first two t-shirts to Wicchick and Dancing Barefoot in my Socks, because they are two of my good friends here on fanfiction.net. *gives them each a t-shirt* Ok, well, that's all for now. Ja ne!
