A Boy or Girl?

Rin walked down the deserted hallways. She was a transfer student here and now she was looking for her class. She looked down at her piece of paper then back to the number on the door. This was it. She gave a sigh and slowly entered the room.

Heads turned to look at her. All accept one head. It was a beautiful girl with long silver flowing hair. She didn't even look at her with her beautiful amber ears. The strips on the sides of her face indicated that she was a demon.

"Hello you must be Rin Takahashi the new transfer student." The teacher smiled big. "Why don't you tell the class a little something about yourself?"

Rin looked at all the faces and just stood there and cast her eyes to the floor. "There's no need to be shy Rin. Everybody this here is Rin Takahashi who just transferred to this school. She is 15 and happens to be the schools youngest student senior." The teacher beamed at her and all the kids in the class just stared. Rin looked back up with a slight blush on her face. She looked over the kids and saw very few humans in the class.

"Why don't you take a seat next to Mr. Tetisaga there?" The teacher said motioning Rin to sit down next to the girl with long silver hair. Rin did as she was told but wondered if she had hears wrong. Did the teacher just call the silver haired girl a Mr.?

"Well everyone I hope you all help Ms Takahashi feel welcome. Now on with the lesson." And with that everyone went back to listening to the teacher ramble on. Rin tried her best to listen but it was hard o ignore the side-glances she was receiving. All she wanted at the moment was to shrivel up into a ball and die. The bell signaling that it was lunch rang saving her.

She quietly got up and started to leave the room along with everyone else. She watched as people made there way to the cafeteria. She was in no mood to eat so she decided to have a look around the school. She was amazed at how the classrooms where situated so everything could be found easily. She sighed as she realized she had been carrying her books around needlessly and she needed to find her locker anyway. So she made her way and she found it easy enough.

She was just opening it when a girl was slammed into the locker next to her. Then a boy with black hair and blue eyes pinned the girl to the locker.

"Get off of me Kouga!" The girl yelled at him.

"I wont let that mutt Inuyasha have you!" Kouga screamed at the girl.

Rin couldn't let this continue. She did the unthinkable and shoved this boy named Kouga and he amazingly fell to the floor. Rin stared down at him with fear in her eyes as he stared back up at her. She couldn't believe what she had done and to a demon at that.

"You bitch!" He snarled and shot forward but he was hit back by a silver haired boy with dog-ears.

"Inuyasha!" The girl screamed.

"Are you all right Kagome? Did this bastard touch you?" Inuyasha asked as he and Kouga had a star down. Then the bell signaling that lunch was over rang saving Rin from the group of three. She grabbed the books she needed and closed her locker making her way to class.

When she arrived to her class she looked around. By the looks of it in this class you where aloud to choose your seats. She walked up to her teacher introducing herself. She then proceeded to a seat in the back of the class where hopefully know one would notice her. She sat there and watched as faces she had seen earlier and new faces come into the class talking and taking their seats.

The boy she had seen earlier, Kouga walked into the room not spotting her and took a seat up in the front. He had a red mark on his face like someone had punched him. 'So he must be a senior' Rin thought to herself.

The beautiful girl with a silver mane walked in. Her eyes settled on Rin. Rin looked away with a slight blush on her face. The girl walked straight back in the room and sat right next to Rin.

Rin looked up and around. Had the girl sat with her because she wanted to? But Rin saw no more people entering the room and that the seat next to her had been to only one left as the bell rang. She let her head sink down.

The teacher stood and began to talk. Rin listened to the teacher talk about history and a group project coming up on making a billboard to present to the class. "Now I want you all to get in groups of four and you have the remainder of the period." The teacher said as he went and sat down at his desk. "This assignment will be due this Friday giving you all plenty of time to research. Also I expect this presentation to have some relation to today's time. I expect it to be ready on Friday. That's five days. Is that clear or do I have to repeat myself one more time?"

"No." The student grumbled.

"Good then get to work." The teacher said beginning to shuffle through papers.

Rin just sat there. So did the beautiful silver haired girl next to her. A demon girl with red hair started to make her way towards the back. At first Rin thought she was headed over to talk to her but she was wrong.

"Hay Sesshoumaru how about being in our group we need one more." The girl asked sweetly.

"Fine." Sesshsoumaru spoke as he stood up and walked to the front of the room where he sat with the girl, Kouga and some other boy with black long hair. But Rin knew that they where all demons.

Rin sat in the back until a human boy approached her. "Hello I'm Hojo your names Rin the new transfer student?" The boy asked her.

"Yes." Rin replied shyly.

"We need one more in our group would you like to join us?" Hojo asked with a big smile.

"Sure." Rin said nodding her head, as she was lead to another table. She looked at a cute human girl with long black hair and Pink eyeliner.

"Hi I'm Sango." Sango said giving a smile.

"I'm Jeff." A nerdy looking boy said smiling at her.

"I'm Rin it's nice to meet you." Rin said smiling at them all.

"Well do we have any Idea about what we are going to do?" Sango asked looked at the small group.

"Well we could de something about ancient medical herbs of healing." Hojo suggested.

"Yea and me being demon we could say something about demons." Jeff said beaming widely.

"No more of that you too. If you make something sound just educational all you'll get everyone asleep." Sango groaned out.

"Sango wait. Jeff what kind of Demon are you?" Rin asked looked at them all.

"I'm an herbal demon called empophelia." Jeff said looked confused.

"We'll I happen to know allot of interesting things about the herb empophelia and its uses in history. If you would allow me Sango I could give you an interesting speech about it." Rin said smiling at Sango as she nodded and her group leaned closer. "Well empophelia was a drug used many times to put neighboring villages or camps to sleep. Usually this was done using the actual demon to give off the aura. It traveled through the air having no smell to it so you wouldn't know it was there. Then often an enemy would come in and slaughter whomever it was that they used it against. This is used in assassinations to put guards to sleep. But very rarely these days."

"But wouldn't the people coming in and killing them fall asleep as well." Sango asked trying to pin Rin in a corner.

"No. Mixing empophelia with a common wild flower called the purple careens and then eaten you would not be affected by the empophelia for a period of 48 hours as its odder was released into the air. This is how many villages where over come back in the late 1700's during the time of 'Grend the human bandit'." Rin finished with a big grin.

"Well is that all it was used for?" Jeff asked looked at Rin.

"Actually no. It was also mixed into a liquid root from cherry blossom trees and given to maidens in unwanted marriages. It would prevent the male seed from taking root for up to six months after the maiden's intake of it. If you read the 'Princess of Melenia', which is a true story, she used these methods when she was forced into a marriage with a toad demon to keep him from bothering to town's people. Some woman still use it these days but it has serious side effects." Rin said in a rush with a blush on her face. She looked to Sango who was blushing as well.

"Well how empophelia hell then?" Hojo asked staring at Rin expectantly.

"Well when the root liquid it put directly into the blood stream it slows down the flow of blood tremendously. It was never really meant as a healing herb but it was often used on the wounded to keep them from bleeding to death. But taken in large amount's its also deadly weather it is air born or put directly into the blood stream or mixed with other plants." Rin stated as she took a deep breath.

Sango smirked. "Good job Rin. You passed my test and amazed me all the same. Not only did you explain a way to make us all happy you tied it in with history as well." Sango gave Rin an encouraging smile.

"Not only that but she practically gave us all the information we need for our project." Hojo said happily.

"This lady is a genius! Pure genius!" Jeff shouted out loud and all the heads in the classroom turned to stare at him. Except Sesshoumaru who still had his back to the group.

"He's just excited about a new herb Hojo told him about." Sango said laughing giddy through her teeth. In the end they where all saved by the final bell.

Rin let out a sigh grabbing her stuff and making her way to her locker. She opened it and began to take and put away the books she needed for homework tonight. Although she was sure she wouldn't need them. She was always looking into books with information for high-level colleges and other things. She had a 4.0 grade and a gift for memorizing everything she had every seen even if it had only been once. But the one thing that her memory kept bringing to mind was the girl. Sesshoumaru. Or was she a boy in girls clothing. Everything about her shouted female but everyone referred to her as a man. This confused Rin the most.

"You look confused." A familiar female voice sounded behind her.

Rin turned around to stare at the girl she had seen earlier. The girls name was Kagome and she had been attacked in the hallway by a boy named Kouga. When Kouga had turned on Rin a Boy named Inuyasha came and saved her. But Rin new Inuyasha was a hanyou. It was like she had little sensors for these things.

"Hello earth to..." Kagome trailed off not knowing the Rin's name.

"Oh I'm sorry my name is Rin." Rin said looking at the floor with a slight blush.

"Hi my names Kagome. I just wanted to say thanks for earlier." Kagome said smiling down at Rin who was a good foot shorter then she. "Are you new here?" Kagome asked looked down at Rin.

"Yes." Rin said smiling back.

"I'm a junior you must be a freshman." Kagome smiled but was startled when Rin's face went a dark shade of red.

"Kagome she a senior." Sango said coming up to the girls.

"She's a senior!" Kagome said in complete surprise.

"Not only that but she's a genius." Sango said smiling at the furiously blushing Rin.

"Who's a genius?" A new voice but familiar to Rin's ears was heard.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said happily turning around and hugging the hanyou. She pulled away from Him and looked to Rin. "Inuyasha this is Rin. She's the one who pushed Kouga off of me earlier." Kagome said smiling back at him.

"She what?" Sango asked in surprise.

"Kouga attacked me in the hallway and had me pinned against the wall. She pushed him off of me and then just when Kouga was about to hurt her, my Inuyasha came." Kagome said turning back and giving him another hug. Inuyasha beamed with pride until they all looked at Sango who had screamed out loud.

"Miroku you hentia!" Sango screamed turning around and punching the boy who had grouped her in the face.

"Well I really should be getting home." Rin said waving goodbye to the group. But each couple looked far too busy with each other. Kagome and Inuyasha where kissing and Sango yelled at the Miroku boy. She didn't see where she was going and bumped into a hard figure. She yelped as she fell to the floor, books and papers scattering everywhere. "I'm so sorry!" Rin said frantically as she bent down on her knees picking up her books and papers.

She felt a smooth cool hand touch hers and she looked up only to meet a pair of golden amber eyes boring into her brown ones. "You should watch where you're going. You might bump into someone who wont be as nice."

The smooth voice used and Rin New instantly that this Sesshoumaru was a man. He stood straitening his skirt and continued on his way. A deep blush covered Rin's face, as she was able to get home. She closed the door behind her going straight to her room. There she put her books in the corner as she began to unpack and set up her bookshelves.

When she was finished she was able to throw herself down on her now set up bed. "I need a shower." She said to herself as she got up and headed for the bathroom. When she was finished she was quick to do her homework. Turning off the light and crawling into bed she drifted off to sleep.
