Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters.
I've just finished writing the fourth chapter and now it is time for me to write the fifth! I left it on quite a cliff-hanger last time (I am evil).
And it took a while to convince my mother to let me go online. This is how it went:
Me: Mother, I need the Internet.
Mother: No, you don't.
Me: Yes I do!
Mother: Why?
Me: (shifty look) Because my fans will kill me if I don't update.
Mother: You have fans?
Me: YES! (Veinpop)
Mother: No. I'm using it.
Me: (veinpop, veinpop, veinpop) Mother...
Mother: Go to bed
Me: Grrrrrrrrrrr...

Chapter Five – "My name is Sesshoumaru"
Rin opened her eyes, Izayoi was pulling open the curtains and the bright light poured into Rin's room.
"Morning, Rin!" she said happily "I thought I'd wake you, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have already left for school"
Rin shot up and grabbed the bedside clock.
'I'm late!' she signed to Izayoi, who laughed kindly.
"You're not going to school today, with that ankle" she picked up Rin's crutches and handed them to her. "We're going shopping!" she said gleefully, as if it was the best thing in the world, she clapped her hands together "I love picking out clothes"
Rin nodded, she'd had to use Izayoi's pyjamas that were too big for her and wear her school uniform.
"I'll be making breakfast!" piped up Izayoi, leaving the room. (AN: I've made Izayoi a bit like myself, she gets really happy over small things, like REVIEWS :hint hint: )
Rin pulled on her uniform, leaning on her crutches which was a relief because lately she'd been forgetting them and just dealing with the pain. She reached the stairs and sweatdropped.
'Now what?' she thought uselessly, and a little light bulb came on in her head.
(AN: Any ideas what she's thinking?)

Izayoi was squeezing the juice out of an orange when Rin entered the kitchen.
"Hello, Rin dear. Breakfast is on the table"
Rin looked extremely pleased with herself and sat down, beginning to eat when it hit Izayoi.
"Rin, how did you get down the stairs?"
'I slid down the banister'
"You slid down a 2 floor spiral banister?"
'Yeah, it was fun. But it hurt my butt'
Izayoi placed the orange juice in front of Rin and sat down to her own breakfast.
---
Inuyasha looked sideways at Sesshoumaru, who'd been acting unusually irritated all day.
"Oi, Sesshoumaru, what's up with you?" he said, quickening his pace to catch up with him.
'Nothing'
"Liar, its about Rin isn't it?" he said slyly
'No'
"It is! I can tell, I know by the look on your face!" Inuyasha punched the air victoriously.
'You don't know anything'
"What could've been worse than the peeping situation to put you in such a mood, I wonder?"
'Shut up'
"Kagome's coming round today"
'Kagome?'
"Yeah, Kikyou's cousin, she's my mmmf..." Inuyasha's voice trailed off.
'She's your what?'
"She's my tutor, ok?"
Inuyasha's mind went off of why his brother was acting so weird and onto the fact that he had 'that damn wench' coming to his house.
---
Izayoi pulled Rin into yet another shop, dragging her by the hand. They'd visited so many shops Rin was wondering what clothes she didn't have by now. They'd been in town for hours.
"Swimwear!" exclaimed Izayoi excitedly, pulling Rin into a changing room and walking out to go get some clothes.
Izayoi's face was a picture of pure glee as she came in with about 20 beachwear outfits.
'I don't think I'm going to need....'
But Izayoi waved her hand impatiently and thrust a bikini at her.
"Nonsense, Rin! Of course you will, there's a pool in the back garden and summer's coming up!" she said, exiting the changing room "I'll be back with more!"
Rin's mouth dropped open 'M-more? Ok...'
Rin put on the bikini and looked at herself in the mirror, her mind soon wandered as she compared herself to other people.
'Izayoi-san would look much better in this than I do. So would Kagura and Kikyou... she allowed herself to wander more 'Hmm, Inuyasha in a bikini' the image popped up into her mind and she found herself in a fit of silent giggles 'Inutaisho-san in a bikini...Naraku in a bikini! Sesshoumaru in a bikini!' the last one did it and when Izayoi came back Rin was in pearls of silent laughter (AN: I do this, I open my mouth to laugh and I can feel the laugh coming out but I make no noise)
--2 hours and 20 swimsuits later—
Izayoi was chatting to Rin, they were in the car and rapidly approaching the house, Rin was still smiling from the bikini incident. The car parked and they got out, looking up at the house Rin realised she really needed to explore more of it for it was huge. Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and a black haired girl (who Rin assumed to be Kikyou) were walking up to it.
"Inuyasha! Who's this?" Izayoi asked, walking towards him. Inuyasha smacked himself in his forehead.
"Mom, this is...Kagome, she's my math tutor" Inuyasha stated flatly.
"Nice to meet you, Inuyasha's mother" Kagome said, shaking hands with Mrs. Tessiaga.
Rin left the bags for that creepy little Jaken guy and decided to tackle the stairs. Leaning partly on her crutches and partly on the banister. She was nearly on the twenty fourth step when she lost balance, she stifled a scream as she fell back and she was about to fall backwards onto the stairs below when someone grabbed her shoulders and prevented her from falling. She already had her eyes closed for the impact and didn't need to open them to know that Sesshoumaru's patronising face would be staring back at her. She was a bit alarmed when he slung her over his shoulder and continued up the stairs. When they reached her room he ignored it and carried her into his room. He shut the door and put her down.
'Rin, I need to talk to you' he signed with a serious face on.
'I didn't do it' she signed, her fingers flying
'I don't doubt that you did, but you just didn't know' Sesshoumaru signed back, the colour drained from Rin's face 'Wait' she thought 'What's he accusing me of?'
She trailed off in thought. Sesshoumaru, however, breathed in deeply and seemed to be bracing himself for something.
"Rin"
Rin nearly jumped out of her skin, looked at Sesshoumaru as if he'd just grown an extra head. 'Did he- He did! He said my name! But- just like last night-'
'You said my name!' she signed, her mouth still open from the shock
'I did' he seemed to be waiting for an explanation, or something, as if it were her fault
'But- how?'
'I had a dream' he signed vaguely
'You had a dream...about me?' she signed slowly, as though she didn't quite understand the concept.
'You got a problem with that?' he signed back sharply, with a hint of a blush.
Rin shook her head 'Did you tell Izayoi-san or Inutaisho-san?' she asked
'No, and you're not going to either.'
Rin raised a brow in question and Sesshoumaru sighed.
'If they know they'll send me and most likely you to a speech therapist, which only makes things worse.'
Rin considered this 'Have you told anybody else?'
Sesshoumaru shook his head.
Rin nodded and left the room by way of the main door. She bumped into the Kikyou-looking girl and they both fell over, Rin's crutches going flying.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said hurriedly, Rin noticed that her eyes were puffy, she'd been crying.
Rin opened her mouth; the Kikyou-look alike pulled her to her feet and quickly handed her the crutches.
"Are you Inuyasha's sister or something?" she asked kindly.
Rin shook her head, not sure what to do.
"Oh..." the Kikyou girl said, with a look of knowing "You're Sesshoumaru's girlfriend?"
Rin shook her head sharply, with a slight blush and made a throwing-up face.
"Kagome! I didn't mean to upset you I just- oh, Rin...err, hi" Inuyasha came tearing out of his room and running lamely up to the Kikyou girl.
"So you're Rin, huh?" the Kikyou girl said, outstretching her hand, Rin shook it. "My name's Kagome, not much of a talker are you?"
"Rin's a mute, same as Sesshoumaru" Inuyasha explained, looking at Rin instead of Kagome.
Kagome took in breath "Sorry."
'No need to be sorry' Rin signed.
"She said you don't have to be sorry" Inuyasha interpreted
'Why have you been crying, Kagome-chan?'
Inuyasha repeated the message with a slight cringe.
"Because of this jerk, Rin, who is a total prick and I never want to see him again" Kagome replied, pointing to Inuyasha.
'Inuyasha, you meanie, what did you do?' Rin asked Inuyasha with a look of warning.
"Nothing, Rin, I didn't do-"
Kagome burst into tears. Rin hugged the crying girl and led her into her room, shutting the door firmly in Inuyasha's face. Rin grabbed a notepad and pen (that Izayoi had brought specially for her)
What's the matter, Kagome? She wrote and showed it to Kagome
"That- that Inuyasha! He" she hiccuped and then continued "He..."
---Flashback---
"And that's how you do question four" Kagome said gleefully, pointing at his textbook.
"Kagome...your cousin Kikyou" Inuyasha said slowly.
"What about her?" Kagome asked snappishly, she was forever being asked about her slutty cousin, who in her opinion was a waste of space.
"People say you look a lot like her..."
"What of it?" Kagome asked in a sour voice, she was tired of this conversation
"I don't really think so...I really like your cousin, has she got a boyfriend?"
Kagome paused, she knew where this was going, and he was going to ask her to play matchmaker or something. Well, the truth hurts.
"Yes, sometimes she's got more than one and she cheats on them, but at the moment she's going out with a slimeball called Naraku" Kagome snapped.
"Oh fair enough...have you got a boyfriend then?" Inuyasha said, this hurt Kagome, she turned back to him with tears in her eyes.
"So, I'm what? Second best to Kikyou?" Kagome wondered aloud
"Well –uh- you could put it like that but-"
: SMACK:
Kagome slapped Inuyasha as hard as she could and fled the room.
---End of flashback---
Wow, Kagome, I would have slapped him too. Rin wrote.
"He's so mean!" Kagome cried, "I actually thought he liked me!"
Rin could think of nothing more to do than hug the girl and remind herself to hurt Inuyasha later.
---
Sesshoumaru breathed in deeply and opened his mouth and for about the millionth time that day slowly said "Rin".
It wasn't the ideal word to start off, he noted, but it would have to do. He glared at his reflection; this was all Rin's fault! He'd been fine not speaking!
"My name is Sesshoumaru," he said slowly and carefully, his unused voicebox flinched painfully and the words came out nearly all wrong.
"My name is Sesshoumaru," he said once again. This time correctly, he sighed, part of relief and part of annoyance, yep, it was all Rin's fault. His eyes studied the mirror and to his horror his reflection was not the only one in the mirror.
Ohhhh, who is it? Don't know? Haha, I do! I've given my friends my pen-name now, so I'm gonna be spending a little more time on the chapters because I'm very conscience of my friends reading my work (not that you're all not my friends; because you are!) And here are some of the reviews I got. If you're not in here and you've reviewed, you'll get a belated thank you next chapter!
