Chapter 9: Touché my friend

"You know what?" Rin asked while hugging Sesshomaru's arm.

"What?"

"I don't feel like going to class. I think I'll skip."

"Why's that?"

"Because I don't like that class. It's boring."

"What class would that be?"

Rin and Sesshomaru stopped right in front of the classroom door. "Math. I've never been good at it."

"Well then I suggest you go to your class so that you CAN be good at it."

"Nah…not today. Now that I have you, let's go to the Stacks." Rin placed herself on Sesshomaru and started playing with his hair.

"The Stacks?"

"Oh yeah…that's right. You're new here. I'll show you where the Stacks are." Rin winked and grabbed Sesshomaru's hand.

"I know you're taking me there to the 'Stacks', but what is it exactly?"

"Have you ever heard of 'parking'?"

"Yeah."

"This is sorta like it, but it's a place. There are bookshelves in the top floor of the library that have really really old books that no one ever looks at. So everyone goes there just like they would for 'parking'. Get it?"

"Yeah…I get it." This wasn't part of the plan that Sesshomaru thought up. He didn't care just as long as InuYasha and Kagome were together.

"Good. Now let's go." Rin started walking while dragging Sesshomaru behind her.

"Y…you like her?" Kagome was so shocked that she could barely get the words out. She knew it shouldn't have been a surprise seeing by how they've been acting towards each other. It was just a surprise that he actually admitted it and had no remorse whatsoever.

"Yeah. I do. I'm actually starting to think that I love her." InuYasha said almost proudly.

Kagome's heart shattered. She felt as if someone took a huge knife, stabbed her heart, and twisted it around. "You son of a bitch." Kagome softly said with anger. She walked up to him and slapped him in the face. InuYasha seemed unaffected as Kagome was standing heartbroken and furious in front of him.

"I should be going now." InuYasha said in the same tone as before. Without a second glance or apology, he turned around and headed for the door.

As soon as InuYasha turned his back, Kagome fell to her knees and started sobbing. This has never happened before. She has never met a guy this heartless and cold. Why did she ever love him? Everything seemed to be going great until lately. Why was he acting like this?

Kagome was all alone in the courtyard. Nothing could be heard but the chirping of birds and rustling of the leaves in the wind. She felt so empty and cold inside. There was nothing in this world that could compare to the pain that she was going through.

Moments later the bell signaling that the next class was starting rang. Kagome didn't want to go anywhere. She just wanted to disappear from all existence. As if a prayer was answered, Sango and Miroku came running into the courtyard. Sango saw Kagome sitting on the grass sobbing and ran over to her.

"KAGOME! Are you ok! Please tell me what happened!" Sango ordered while sitting down next to Kagome. Without a single word, Kagome threw her arms around Sango's next and started to cry harder.

Miroku started to walk to the girls, but hung back a bit. "What happened kag-chan? We saw InuYasha walking down the hall with a smirk on his face." For once Miroku was very serious and sympathetic.

For several minutes no one talked and all you could hear where Kagome's cries for mercy. There was nothing at this point that Sango and Miroku could do. Once Kagome started to calm down a bit, she talked.

"In…InuYasha…is the lowliest creature…that ever walked…the planet." Kagome slowly said while still trying to calm down.

"Honey…I'm so sorry. Please tell us what happened." Sango stroked Kagome's hair to comfort her.

Kagome didn't saying anything for a few minutes only to let herself calm down. "Ok…" Kagome slowly started out. "I brought him here and I basically spilled myself onto him about how I feel. He didn't seem to care. I asked him what was going on. He didn't answer my question, but he did say that he had feelings for Rin now." Right after Kagome finished she dug her face into Sango's shoulder and started to cry again.

Sango looked at Miroku with a sympathetic eye. Miroku returned the gaze and finally sat down next to the girls.

"I am so sorry girl. Is there anything Miroku and I can do?" Sango asked.

"I…I don't know. I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!" Kagome shouted so loud that it echoed between the walls of the courtyard. "I just want to die right now. No one would miss me."

"Don't talk like that! You know Sango and I care for you! If it's one thing I know, it's that InuYasha is being a total dick right now and needs to be shot. I'm going to find that bastard and make him pay for hurting you." Miroku immediately got up and marched for the door.

"MIROKU! Don't you think that you're being a bit rash about this?" Sango yelled out, making Miroku stop in his tracks.

He slowly turned around and looked at Sango. "No. Not when a woman has been hurt by another man. I shall be back!" Miroku said his final words and ran back into the school.

Sango sat there stunned. Miroku has never been this serious, let alone mad, before. She was almost proud of Miroku's miraculous change. The only reason why she was almost proud was because once this situation is done and over with, Miroku will go back to his perverted self. But Sango prayed that it wouldn't happen.

"You should get to class Sango. I think I'm going to go home. I can't stay here." Kagome stated while moving out of Sango's arms.

"No. I am going to stay here with you. You are more important than class."

Kagome smiled and gave Sango a hug. "Let's go."

InuYasha walked through the doors and down the hallway. 'Now that that's taken care of…where's Rin?' He thought to himself while walking and looking around. His mind was made up and it wasn't going to change. His heart is on Rin now and only for Rin. With a smile on his face and a bounce in his step, InuYasha continued his search for Rin.

InuYasha turned down the hall and discovered Rin leaning against a wall. She looked up to see InuYasha walking towards her, and then looked back down. InuYasha ignored Rin's lack of interest and approached her. He placed his arms around her waist and kissed her lips. Rin took the kiss without a fight. When they pulled apart, InuYasha noticed something different in her eyes. He was about to ask Rin what was wrong but then heard footsteps down the hallway. InuYasha looked only to find out that it was Sesshomaru.

"What the hell are you doing here?" InuYasha growled.

"Visiting…and now I'm going to go somewhere with Rin." Sesshomaru answered back while trying to take Rin out of InuYasha's grasp.

"Back off!" InuYasha tried to punch Sesshomaru, but he moved too quickly and dodged the blow.

"I don't know what you want, InuYasha, but Rin is my woman now."

"If she's you're woman, then where were you just now?"

"In the bathroom."

"Yeah…whatever. But for your information, Rin is mine. I had her before you so get lost!"

Rin smirked as she watched the boys fight. "Hey! There's enough of me to go around you know!" Rin winked.

"SHUT UP!" InuYasha barked at Rin. "Now as for you Sesshomaru…" InuYasha clenched his fist and tried to hit Sesshomaru again, but sesshomaru was too quick again and punched InuYasha in the jaw. InuYasha fell to the floor and laid there.

"Let's go…" Sesshomaru placed his arm around Rin's waist and started walking.

When Rin and Sesshomaru turned the corner, InuYasha sat up and rubbed the side of his face. Everything was spinning around his head. What just happened? Rin was his girl before and now his brother comes along and takes her away. InuYasha got up and brushed the dirt off of his clothes. Out of anger he punched a nearby locker, putting a huge dent in it.

"Damnit…why does Sesshomaru always get what I have…"
