AN- Guys I'm back and boy has it been a long road! Thank you so much for the reviews and I don't own Inuyasha. Thanks for hanging in there with me and I'll get to the story as soon as I finish a few announcements: I've got two new stories up, and since it's summer, I'll be writing in all of them regularly.

All In Time is about Kagome recovering from a bad car accident that put her mother beneath ground. That being her only family member, she goes into depression until……can't tell you everything or you wouldn't read, just know, it's a bit of a romance.

Mind, Body, and Soul, is about a girl raised in the wild by wolves. About eleven years later, a young lord comes to look for the settlements and what does he find? A girl who doesn't seem to know English and can move like a shadow. This is an Au in a time of kings, queens, and unsteady peace between nations.

Please read them and tell me what you think. Anyway here's the story.

Chapter 9-

Miroku and Sesshomaru walked back to the cafeteria to meet up with their friends. They sat down at the table with their lunches, chat was random and they mostly sat in a companionable silence. That's when Rin decided to speak and everyone looked at the girl astounded. "So Sesshomaru, what brings you and Inuyasha to the school?"

"Father's business." was his short reply. He still wasn't too happy about the move but was coming to like the idea now that he had met some people.

Rin then asked, "And how do you like the classes?"

"So far so good." was Sesshomaru's reply wondering if the questioning was going anywhere. "Actually, I seem to be ahead in at least some of them, I have covered the material in Math and in English and stuff. It's working out. Can I ask you a question?"

Rin gave a small smile, "Depends, what do you want to know?"

Sesshomaru responded, "What is it about you that makes everyone regard you with such surprise when you speak. I mean, not always when you speak but like when you said he'll do, or just when you started questioning me? Everyone here looked startled."

Inuyasha had been wondering the same thing so sat up since he had been almost asleep, and the others wondered if she would answer him at all.

"Well," Rin started slowly, once again fixing him with that deep, almost soul gazing, stare, "you could say that I get Feelings and I See things, usually about people and their intentions, that others don't pick up on. That's a bit vague but it answers your question and that is all I will say for now." And with that she got up to dump her trash and left the cafeteria.

"What exactly did that mean?" Inuyasha asked. The others just looked after Rin and said nothing. Soon after the bell rang and they separated, heading in the directions of their classes.

Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha headed to the science lab. There Kagome left the brothers in the front of the class so she could take her seat. Sesshomaru noted in his head that Kagome had no one sharing her lab station with her, and that there were three to a table at the others.

"Class, we have two new students joining us today, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Now I have arranged for you two to sit with Kagome since she is showing you around today. You all should get used to the new assigned seating chart because it's saying this way. You have all been with me long enough now for me to know who talks to who so this should work. Now, if you two would like to say something about yourselves, I'll go and run off the worksheets for the lab you're doing today, changing Copper as a solid into a dissolved solution and back again through the addition of different chemicals. Boys, go ahead." And with that he left the classroom.

The brothers gave their speech, now quite perfected, and sat down just as the teacher returned. "Alright class," he said as he handed out the worksheets, "you know the drill, long hair pulled back, goggles on, we will be working with acids, aprons on, and no horse play, come to me and I will give you the required ingredients and you can begin. Don't forget to make a log of what happens when what is added, you will be able to use it on the quiz that will cover this lab on Thursday. You may begin."

Throughout the class time, the trio worked efficiently, well actually the duo since Inuyasha had gone to sleep. "Doesn't your brother do anything but sleep?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru after light snores were being hears from Inuyasha.

"Not really, no. But we're lucky for it, if he was awake and interested in what we were doing, the experiment would have failed about fifty times already. I think it's ready to sit over night." He added the last as he finished stirring the beaker, and placed it under the small fume hood at the corner of the table.

"Ok, so now what? We have ten minutes before the bell rings. Then we go to French class. I think we are the only ones done. You're one of the best partners I've ever had, usually I just have to do it all by myself." Kagome stated, removing the goggles and apron.

"Thank you, and the same goes for you. At my old school, everything just went wrong if anyone helped so they decided they would let me do the work." Sesshomaru was quite glad that he hadn't had to do all of this by himself though, they never would have finished in time.

"You know, you're not as bad as I thought. I kind of took you for a stuck up rich kid who always thought he was right and would never hear different." Kagome smiled, "You're actually nice."

"Thanks, I think. I'm glad I could prove you wrong." Sesshomaru privately thought this girl had nerve, no one he knew before would ever had said that, though he was sure many had felt similar, he respected her for that.

"What are you doing after school?" Kagome asked suddenly.

"Ah, nothing really, I don't have any homework as of yet.

"My friends and I go swimming every Monday after school if you want to come. We trade off going to my house, Sango's, and Rin's. Sometimes we go to the lake too, now that I think about it, since it's so close to Miroku's. We actually do something everyday after school, tomorrow we will probably go to the movies, Wednesdays we jog through the trails behind the school mostly, Thursdays we play some sport or other, and Fridays we stay at someone's house. It is Miroku's turn to host, we always take turns."

"You and Sango and Rin stay at a guys house over night?"

"Yeah, we've all been friends for ever, and so have our parents. It works out pretty well. So what do you say want to come swimming with us?" Kagome asked again.

"Sure, whose house is it at today?"

"Actually, I think we're going to the lake, I believe we decided we wanted to skip the chlorine this time round."

"Alright, the lake it is. I'll don't live far from it, if you're talking about Lake Shikon. I just need to know where to meet you guys."

"Ok, you can just follow us if you want, it's easier than giving direction because we meet in so many different places."

"That'll work, and you can all change at my house since we have to get our suits."

"Great, it's a plan, we can tell everyone in gym. We all have it together." Kagome smiled brightly.

At just about that time the bell rang, loudly. "WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled. Those still in the room looked at him like he was crazy and some laughed when they realized he was asleep.

"Geeze Inuyasha, chill out." Kagome laughed again and walked out of the classroom, heading towards the French room. "Oh and your Spanish class is right across the hall from French.

"Feh." was his response, and they went on there way.

AN- Ok, once again I want to say sorry about the late update. I've gotten over my writers block and will be updating once a week. I'll try to get the next chapter up by the 20th. I wanted to keep on but I really want to get this up, so till next time keep safe and remember to review. They inspire me to type more for longer amounts of time and you'll get to read more often. Review, review, review. Thanks, your author….lol
