The last period of the day went excruciatingly slow. Every second seemed like a minute, every minute an hour, every hour a lifetime. As you can see, it was a no win situation. Rin couldn't decide whether she was excited or nervous about later today. Everything was so confusing. Finally, she decided she was more nervous then anything. Well whaddya know, time seemed to cast Haste on itself.
*RING*
"Ahh.. What?" Rin stuttered, looking frantically around the room. There -had- to be a mistake, class just started.
"See you tomorrow Rin."
"Bye Rin."
Nope, class was over.
"Bye." Rin sighed halfheartedly, gathering up her books.
"Rin!"
"Oh... Kisho!"
"Hey..." He said, running up to her. "Where were you yesterday? I thought we were gonna go catch a movie..."
"Sorry." Rin apologized, walking down the hall with him, "I had a fainting spell. Nurse sent me home."
"Oh, you okay?"
"Yeah, all better."
"Well how about now? We'll go see a movie and maybe get some ice cream later..."
Rin sighed. She didn't want to hurt his feelings, and the offer -was- tempting, but she had to talk with Rosuto....
"Sorry Kisho, but I can't."
"Why not?" He asked, obviously disappointed.
"Hiyayaka-san wants me to stop by after class."
Kisho frowned, showing his dislike, "What do you girls find so amazing about him anyway?" He asked as they approached the room.
Rin sighed, leaning against a locker. "I have no idea. I guess it's 'cause he's young. We don't have too many young guy teachers."
"Well.... I don't like him." Kisho decided, crossing his arms. Rin laughed, he looked like a two-year-old and she told him so.
"So does that mean I'm cute?" He asked hopefully. Rin shook her head.
"No, not yet."
"Dammit...." He sighed, making Rin laugh again.
"Higurashi."
Rin and Kisho stopped their giggle fit at the voice. Rin secretly prayed to the gods that it wasn't who she thought it was as she turned around. Damn, why does that never work?
"Higurashi, I thought I told you to see me after school."
"You did Hiyayaka-san, I was just-"
"Mingling in the halls?"
"It's my fault." Kisho interrupted, "I stopped her on her way here."
"Well then, I suppose it's you I should punish. Your language isn't appropriate for school."
"But sir-"
"I should give you a detention for -" Rosuto paused. He could almost feel the anger, astonishment, embarrassment, and hurt radiating off of Rin. No, not feel. Sense. "-that but I won't. Just make sure I don't hear it again."
"Yes sir..." Kisho mumbled, glaring at the teacher.
"I'll talk to you later." Rin muttered, walking past the two of them and into the room.
"Yeah, later." Kisho sighed, turned and stomped away. Rosuto had the urge to do either one of two things. Either a) stick out his tongue and blow raspberries, or b) rip the kid's throat out with his bare hands. How dare he make his Rin laugh!
Woah... Possessive.
Rin. Just Rin, not -his- Rin.
There we go, all better now.
"What is it Hiyayaka-sama?"
"School is over Rin, Rosuto will be fine."
Rin nodded and watched his movements as he paced the room. She silently made a check of how his shoulder blades moved beneath his shirt, of his long strides and secretly wondered if he had a six-pack under that shirt....
'Argh! I'm supposed to be mad at him!'
"Where do you get off acting like this?!" Rin yelled, jumping off of the desk she sat on, "You're all nice to me one day, then cold and detached the next! Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I was hoping you could tell me."
Rosuto's voice was too quiet, much too calm. "What?" Rin asked, not quite sure she heard him right.
"Why is it that every time I'm around you, I feel different?" Rosuto asked. One might normally find something like that romantic and flattering, but Rin didn't see it that way. He sounded... Angry.
"I don't know Rosuto, I wasn't aware of that." She said quietly, sitting back on the desk top.
"Fair enough... Why are my senses better?"
Rin bit her lip and looked to her lap. She had an idea, but she wasn't about to tell him that her long lost demon love was inside him. "I don't know."
"You always did suck at lying. Don't even try."
"Excuse me?" Rin's head snapped up.
"What?" Rosuto asked, snapping out of a daze.
~*~
"Why is Jaken crying?" Sesshomaru asked coldly, staring down at the human girl sitting under a tree.
"Umm.... I don't know." Rin fidgeted, twisting a vine in her hands. "He just started to cry. I asked him what was wrong, but he was sobbing too hard, so Rin couldn't understand."
"Rin." He sighed, disappointed. "You are horrible at lying. Do not even try."
~*~
"You said I've always sucked at lying... You've only known me for two days." She whispered, hoping off the desk and walking to him
"I-"
"And you knew Inuyasha and Kagome's full names. I never told you them. How did you know?"
"A memory...?"
"What memory? I've only been here three years and you, two days."
Rosuto didn't answer, just closed his eyes. "Rin, I think it's time for you to go home. This meeting is over."
Rin took a step closer, "But-"
"Go Home."
Rin froze, her eyes widening. Without another word, she fled, her eyes already swelling up. No chance would she let this man see her cry. He sounded just like him. The same words, same phrases, same voice. Rin wanted to just fall down in cry. So, she did. She ran just down the hall and collapsed, hugging her knees to her chest.
Rosuto could smell her tears.
------------------------------
Rosuto sat at his desk long after dark. With his head in his hands, he tried to sort his head into some kind of order. Good luck.
'What's wrong with me?' He asked himself, not understanding what was happening to him. He had been... Mean. Nrmally he was very good at keeping his temper in check, but hearing Rin with that guy sent him off the edge. He became angry. Rin was his, no one else could touch her. But since when did he feel like that?
'I shouldn't feel so strongly about her. I've known her for two days.'
'No, we've known her longer
Really?
Yes, much longer, since she was nothing more to us then an annoying human girl. A test of a swords power
You-
No, we... I did not kill her. Quite the opposite
But howis that-
Are you so blind?
No...
Now hurry and remember everything. I am getting restless in here. I am not accostumed to being kept waiting.
Who are you?
I am you. Or better yet, you are me.... In some form or another' The voice said, sounding disgusted.
I don't -
Of course you don't understand, you are merely human
Then what are-
I am a greater form. Hence the hightened senses.
A.... A god?
No... Quite the opposite
Why-
Enough dalleying. Rin is probably upset, we have to go to her
What are you talking about? She left hours ago...
...so?
So she probably doesn't want to see me right now
...so?
-So-, I shouldn't bother her.
...?
Fine! Where is she?
The Ice cream parolor on 5th and Main.
What are you? Her stalker?
Close
How pleasant
Indeed.'
Rosuto rolled his eyes. He'd heard all about these 'internal-conflicts', you know, the devil/angel thing. He'd never thought he'dhave to actually deal with it though.
'Get used to it.' A voice whispered in his head. Rosuto grumbled, grabbing his coat and heading out the door. This was going to be one of those days.
