Yawning and rubbing her eyes Kagome woke up and got out of bed realizing that she had yet another school day to go through. Getting a shower and dressed she quickly had breakfast. She decided that she would distract herself by really buckling down and working hard in her classes. Sitting down in her first class Rin walked in right after her making her way to the desk next to her.

"Hey Kagome are you alright? You seem kinda tired and it seems like your thoughts have been elsewhere recently?"

"Oh, yea I'm tired but that's just because I was studying last night for a big test I have in history" she lied "And I've also just been really nervous about my classes and doing well and stuff. But I'm fine though, thanks for asking" she finished with a smile.

"Oh ok Kagome, it's kind of a weird thing and I know it doesn't relate to you at all but my dad has been really withdrawn lately. He's always in his room and he always looks really tired and depressed" Rin said "But anyways....OH! Have you talked to that guy that you like recently? Made any more progress with him?"

Still dumbfounded at what Rin had said about Sesshomaru and her also ironically asking about the guy she likes when it was Sesshomaru Kagome was talking about at the start she couldn't form the words she wanted to say.

"Uhh...guy?"

"Yea you know that guy you were talking about that was in your class that you liked and thought that he might like you back?" Rin questioned.

"Ooh, oh yea right, that guy! Well um I don't know I kind of got to know him better and realized we had nothing in common and he wasn't what I thought he was so it just wouldn't work."

"Oh I'm sorry Kagome, well there's plenty of other fish in the sea huh?" Rin countered with a giggle.

"Yes you are right there are" Kagome replied putting a smile on her face.

Thankfully at that moment the teacher walked in and class started so Kagome wouldn't have to make up anymore lies. She really felt bad about lieing to Rin about all of this but what choice did she have, she couldn't tell her that the guy she "liked" was Sesshomaru, her dad, all along and that she was tired because of her dad. No, Rin can't ever find out about any of this, EVER! Concentrating on the lesson she did her best to push all other thoughts out of her head other than math and equations. As bad as that sounded she had to do it in order to keep her sanity if it was the last thing she did.

Breathing a sigh of relief the class was over and she made her way out the door. But was stopped as Rin yelled out to her.

"Kagome, wait up!" Rin exclaimed as she ran to catch up to her. "I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to come to my dad's beach house this weekend cuz I'm gonna have a sleepover and a buncha girls are gonna be there. It'll be so much fun, you have to be there. It'll make ya feel better, I promise!!! Pleeeassee!!" Rin whined.

Unable to think of an excuse fast enough and turning a slight pink at the memory of what had happened last time she was in that beach house she answered "Ok Rin I'll go."

"Yay" Rin squealed in delight "You can come over Friday night around 7 pm and...Oh yea here's the address" she says while handing her a piece of paper.

"Oh that's ok I...." Kagome started without thinking then realizing that Rin didn't know about her and Sesshomaru of course she quickly recovers with "Oh yea thanks" while taking the paper.

"Well Rin I gotta class to go to so I'll cya tomorrow in class. Bye!"

"Bye Kagome, I just can't wait for this weekend."

"Yea me neither" Kagome muttered to herself sarcastically.

She just prayed to herself that Sesshomaru wouldn't be there or she didn't know what she would do or what he would do either for that matter. Oh well, I don't want to think about it or I'll make myself a nervous wreck by the time Friday night rolls around.

"Dammit" Sesshomaru growls as he slams his fist down on his desk. Running his hand through his hair he sighed as he tried once again to come up with something to get the girl back.

"Kagome" he sighed with a melancholy tone.

If only I could have just never met her, now I can't be without her. I miss her smiles and laughter so much. I can't sleep at night, I can't do my work, all I do is think about her. And I just don't know what I could ever do to get her back and forgive me, to make her realize that I truly do have feelings for her and that I love.....No. I do not love her, I just care for her.

His thoughts, however, were interrupted as Rin bounced into the room all smiles.

"What is it Rin?" Sesshomaru asked trying to be somewhat pleasant to her. "Well I was just wondering if maybe ya know, I could, if it would be alright..."

"Out with it Rin, just ask."

"Ok, I wanted to have a sleepover with a bunch of friends this weekend and I was just wondering if it could be at the beach house cuz that would be so kool. Please dad, Pleeassee?" Rin pleaded.

Sighing Sesshomaru knew that he could never say no to her "Oh alright Rin, just make sure that nothing gets broken."

"YES! Thanks dad you're the best" she said while giving him a hug.

"You're welcome Rin, who will be going to this?" he casually asked. "Um, well not everyone has said yet but Eri, Yumi, Keiko, and oh yea Kagome of course."

Slipping his composure briefly he stammered out "Kagome?"

"Yea dad Kagome, you remember her right? She came over a couple times and stayed the night once."

"Yes of course I remember her. Well that sounds fine Rin, now if you could leave me please I have some paperwork to do."

"Ok daddy, thanks again!!" she replied while walking out the door.

Hmm I just might have to pay a visit to Rin's slumber party this Friday night. Hopefully I can grab Kagome aside so we can be alone for enough time that I can win her back. Now all I have to do is plan what I have to say and exactly what I will do.

Inuyasha sighed for what seemed like the millionth time this day as he laid back on his couch watching a tv show, well he wasn't really watching anything his thought were elsewhere. He just couldn't get Kagome out of his mind. She was everything he ever wanted in a girl but he knew that she didn't have as strong of feelings for him as she did for Sesshomaru. He needed to get over her and fast but came up with no answer to this problem. Oh well, maybe time will heal this pain.

The rest of the week passed quickly much to Kagome's dismay and it was now Friday after school. Coming home she dreaded having to pack up stuff getting ready to go to her house. Quickly running down a list of reasons why she couldn't go so she could call Rin and make something up she decided against it thinking that this might be good for her. Afterall who said that Sesshomaru would be there anyway, there would be no reason for him to be there. It would just be a bunch of high school girls doing girly stuff so he wouldn't want to be there. And this could be good for her. It would be a good distraction and she just might have a little fun.

Little did she know just what kind of a night she had ahead of her...
