Chapter 15: Changes...
( This starts off from the last chapter! I'd say it starts from when Rin was running to her dorm...)
Rin ran to her dorm, tears falling freely from her eyes that were closed shut. She almost tripped a few times while running but she didnt feel any pain. She just got back up quickly and continued to run.
' I hate him!' Rin came to her door but didnt go in. She rested her head on the door and cried freely. ' I hate him...' She could sence her friends coming.
So she quickly opened her door and slammed it shut behind her, making sure to lock both of the locks so her friends couldnt get in with thier spare keys. ( Her friends only have keys for one lock) She looked around her room and smiled sadly. But she started to cry freely but silently, as she slumped down against the door and brought her knees up to her chest as she hugged herself. ' Why did I even ask him if he loved me?...'
Kagome, Sango, and Aya ran to Rin's dorm, as Kagome stopped in front of it Sango crashed into her causing Aya to crash into them. All three girls looked at the door and listened.
Nothing.
Thats what they herd. They looked at one another then knocked on the door gently.
"Rin...are you ok?" Kagome asked. There wasnt an answer. Kagome looked over to Sango with a sad look on her face. Sango nodded and walked up to the door and knocked.
"Rin...dont worry. Sesshomaru's a ice prince. You diserve better then him anyways. So dont worry...everythings gona be ok." Sango assured but there was still no answer.
"Maybe we should open the door just to see if shes ok..." Aya suggested looking sadly at the door. Kagome nodded and took out a key. She put it in the hole and turned it. But when she turned the doorknob the door still wouldnt open. Kagome's jaw practically dropped to the ground.
"Whats wrong Kagome?" Sango asked looking quite confused because the door didnt open.
"She locked both locks! And we never got the other key from her..." Kagome said sadly. They were about to start talking to Rin to ask if they could come in but they herd a whisper.
"Go away..."
Kagome, Sango and Aya looked over at the door quite surprised.
"Rin? Rin, come on. Open the door. Please? How about we just talk about it...?" Aya asked. But Rin just repeated those soft words that sounded so sad.
"Please...just go away..."
"But Rin-" Kagome started but was cut off.
" I SAID GO AWAY!" Rin shouted from the other side of the door, tightening the grip she had around herself. The girls were shocked at the sudden outburst. "Please...just...go away..." Kagome and the other girls were able to hear Rin start to cry again. It was obvious in her voice that she was already crying. They nodded thier heads sadly and turned to go to thier own dorms looking back at Rin's door sadly just before they entered thier rooms.
The next day...
"Inuyasha I dont think we should..." Kouga reminded. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Him, Kouga, and Miroku were walking down the corridors (or dorm hallways..) to Rin's dorm.
"Yeah, Inuyasha. If Kagome, Sango, and Aya werent able to get her to come out of her room...how are we going to?" Miroku added. Inuyasha turned around and glared at them.
"Because she's our friend. Even if she wont come out, we should at least try. And besides...ITS BORING AROUND HERE NOW! I mean come on! Sesshomaru's acting colder and more quieter then usual! Kagome, Sango, and Aya left to go home for the holidays! Rin wont come out of her dorm! And Sess and Rin are the only two left...and now that they dont even want to have fun...it is sooooo boring!" Inuyasha whined turning and stomping towards Rin's dorm. Kouga and Miroku looked at oneanother.
"Well...we did promise the girls that we would at least try to get Rin to come out of her dorm..." Miroku said sadly. Kouga sighed.
"Yeah, I guess your right..." And with that they both followed Inuyasha.
Miroku came up to Rin's dorm and looked back at Inuyasha and Kouga. They nodded towards him and he nodded back. Then gently he said in a soft gentle voice. "Rin...are you okay sweety?" Inuyasha and Kouga glared at Miroku.
"SHES NOT 5 YEARS OLD YOU IDOT!" Inuyasha growled while stomping on Miroku. Kouga punched him out of the way and cleared his throat.
"Um...what I'm sure Miroku ment to say was, if you were alright... we know it's none of our buisinness, Rin...but we are your friends...we just want to see if your ok." Kouga said shyly...he hated showing his good side...he always felt like a weakling when he did.
Rin was still sitting by the door, silently crying into her knees that were brought to her face. She herd them but didnt want to answer. She looked up and looked at the door but quickly started crying silently again.
Inuyasha's nose twitched...' Tears...' His nose twitched again...'Rin's tears...' He looked over at Kouga and Miroku. "She's crying." He informed them. Thier eyes filled with worry and sadness.
"Come on Rin...wont you please just talk to us..." Miroku asked.
No answer.
"Rin...we just want to help..." Kouga said gently.
No answer.
Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched with annoyance.
"DAMN IT, RIN! OPEN THIS FUCKIN DOOR OR I'LL BREAK IT OPEN!" Inuyasha groweled and started kicking the door. Rin burst out in tears and started crying loudly. Inuyasha sweatdropped and quickly backed away from the door, practically jumping at the sound of her crying. Kouga and Miroku glared at him.
"Way to go Inuyasha! You made her cry more!" (Kouga)
"What the hell are you talking about! She was already crying!" (Inuyasha)
"But not like that!" (Miroku)
"Yeah! Apologize to her! Or we'll tell Kagome!" (Kouga)
Inuyasha huffed then turned to the door stared at it. Then he sighed. "Look Rin...I'm sorry. I didnt mean to make you cry...er...more."
Rin kept crying but she suddenly cryed silently. Inuyasha didnt get an answer for his apology (whitch is very rare, for him to apologize) and his eyes turned to sadness and concern.
"Rin...your not going to talk to us are you?" He asked.
No answer...
Inuyasha sighed then turned around to walk out of the building. Miroku and Kouga next to him. '...will things ever be the same...' Was the thought that ran through thier minds.
A week later... on the first day they come back to school...
Sesshomaru walked down the hall thinking about everything that happened over the break...
nothing...
Thats all that happened. Nothing. Everyone stayed in thier dorms. Kagome, Sango and Aya came back 3 days after they left only to hear that Rin didnt come out of her room. They would occasionally go by to try and get her to talk to them, but she never did. Sesshomaru tried a few times, but Kagome or one of the other girls would stop him from going a step further when he was only about 10 feet from her door, after they said, " You could only cause pain and sadness Sesshomaru! Thats all you could ever do..." He stopped trying.
Sesshomaru started to walk faster to his class. ' Maybe today i'll get to explain to her why I said all those things...' Sesshomaru walked into his english classroom and looked around. He was the first person to get to class. 'Odd...Rin is usually the first one to get to class...' Sesshomaru thought. He decided he would wait until she came to class talk to her, but as the people came into the class room and took thier seats his hope that she would actually come to class grew smaller and smaller.
"Alright, Alright. Settle down. Now today we will-" The teacher began, but Sesshomaru didnt listen. He looked around the room...everyone was there; Miroku sat next to Kouga, Sango next to Aya, Inuyasha sat next to him...but Kagome was sitting by herself...no Rin...and she was looking sad.
Sesshomaru turned to his brother while the teacher starting to pass around papers. "Inuyasha, where is Rin? Dont tell me that she has decided not to even come to class..." Sesshomaru asked, seriously worried but he didnt dare show it. ( DAMN HIS PRIDE!)
Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru like he was the stupidest person on earth. "Didnt you hear?" He asked still giving him the 'what are you, stupid?' look. Sesshomaru raised a brow.
"Didnt I hear what?" Sesshomaru asked, eager to know, but didnt show it. Inuyasha kept staring at him in amazment. "Stop looking at like that." Sesshomaru snapped, Inuyasha did as told.
"Well, Rin changed her schedule around...she's not in any of our classes anymore...well...except science, but thats it." Inuyasha said with a sigh. Sesshomaru's eyes went wide. Rin changed classes? Just because of him!
"Mr. Tetsusaiga, please at leastpretend yourpaying attention to the lessons." Sesshomaru snapped out of his thoughts and looked to see the teachers looking at him with his crystal blue demon eyes. ( Yes, the teacher is a demon). But Sesshomaru didnt pay attention at all. He kept watching the clock, desperate for this class to end so he could get to science.
An hour later, when the bell finally rang, Sesshomaru was first one out of the room and the first one to get to science class. (It was sort of easy for him, being a demon and using his demon speed.) He quickly took his seat and waited for everyone else to come to class, inclouding Rin, and to his great relief, she did.
Rin walked into the science room with quite an attitude, she was in a good mood, dispite everything that happened over the break, but she just didnt want to be in any classes with it.
She quickly took a seat by herself away from all of her friends and it. The gang saw this and they're hearts grew sad. They were all hoping that they could talk to Rin now, since they couldnt even talk to her during the break...not to mention that this was actually the first time they have seen her after what happened between her and Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru looked over at Rin who was just watching the black board and teacher. She didnt look at him nor any of her friends. Sesshomaru then looked over at Inuyasha, Miroku and Kouga they each looked sad...and to his confusion, they seemed to be feeling pity for him. Kouga then pointed over to Kagome, Sango, and Aya. And when Sesshomaru looked over to them they were giving him cold glares that wanted to burn him alive.(But of course they didnt.) Sesshomaru sweat dropped and turned back to the front of the room.
"Ok class! Today we're going to do a lab! You will have to figure out how to make a bar of soap, float in water." (I got that from a t.v. show, so dont start thinking that I'm crazy!) The teacher said as he held up a bar of soap and a bucket of water. Kagura shot her hand up in the air and started to wave it around trying to get the teachers attention. The teacher just sighed and rolled his eyes. "No Kagura, your not going to be paired up with Sesshomaru." Kagura frowned and lowered her hand down and rested her head on it.
"Ok, now that thats over...here are the pairings...Kagura, Kanna. " The teacher went through his list one at a time. Rin crossed her fingers and closed her eyes. ' Please dont pair me up with Sesshomaru, please, oh please, oh please!' "Sango, Aya. Inuyasha, Kagome. Miroku, Kouga. And Sesshomaru, Rin." Rin slammed her head on her desk. ' Fuck...'
Sesshomaru looked over at her with a smirk. ' Try getting away from me now, Rin.' Sesshomaru started thinking of things he would say to her when Rin's hand shot in the air.
"Rin if you have something to say or a question you could come up to my desk and tell me." The teacher commented. Rin nodded then walked over to the teachers desk. Sesshomaru watched with interest as Rin spoke to the teacher and the teacher just nodded. Sesshomaru cursed under his breath because he couldnt hear then because there were too many noises in the room. The teacher then stood up and walked to the front of the class.
"Ok, theres a slight change in plans...I'm going to change Rin's partner for Rin feels that she wont be able to consintrate on her work if shes paired up with the partner she has now. So, Kagome, please work with Rin on the lab, and Sesshomaru you can work with Inuyasha." Sesshomaru jaw dropped. He was NOT expecting that.
Rin quietly walked over to her desk, sat down, and started her work without Kagome. Sesshomaru growled and stomped over to Inuyasha desk, Inuyasha looked up and almost jumped at seeing his brothers eyes turning crimson red. Kagome glared at Sesshomaru. "Why are you mad. Your the one who caused this." She snapped then walked over to Rin. Sesshomaru growled a threatening growl at her and was about to throw himself at her to rip her to bits but Miroku, Kouga and Inuyasha held him back.
When Kagome got to Rin she tried to talk to her but Rin wouldnt talk back. She just sat there and did her work. After 20 minutes of trying to make conversation Kagome gave up. For the rest of class Rin just did work, she didnt look at anyone nor talk to anyone. Her friends just watched her hoping she was going to talk to them, and that she and Sesshomaru would make up or else nothing will ever be the same.
Two days later during lunch...
Sesshomaru sat down at the usual table that he and his friends sat at.
"Hey Sess...you ok?" Kouga asked coming up and sitting with him. Inuyasha and Miroku came next. Sesshomaru glared at Kouga and growled. Oh course he wasnt ok! none of the girls (Kagome, Sango, and Aya, and thier friends...) will talk to him! Not to mention the fact that he hasnt seen OR has talked to Rin for two days!
Sesshomaru growled again...
FLASHBACK...
Sesshomaru came into science and looked around the class... Rin wasnt there? He leaned over to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha. Where is Rin? I thought she had science with us." Inuyasha again looked at Sesshomaru like he was the stupidest person in the world.
"You didnt hear?" Inuyasha said with disbelief. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. Inuyasha sighed. " She doesnt have science with us anymore Sess. She went to the consulers office and they changed it to another period." Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru who's eyes were turning red...
End FLASHBACK...
"Hey theres the girls!" Miroku pointed to Kagome, Sango, and Aya who were walking with thier trays of lunch talking. "HEY KAGOME, SANGO, AYA! We saved you guys seats!" Miroku waved his arms frantiacally in the air. The girls smiled at him and started walking towards them but when they saw Sesshomaru their eyes darkened and they glared daggers at him before turning and walking to another table.
Miroku's face dropped. " I guess that's a no..."
"You dummy. They're still mad at Sess..." Kouga said. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes then looked around the cafeteria.
"Hey...where's Rin? Isnt she eating lunch?" Sesshomaru asked still looking around the cafeteria. Kouga, Inuyasha, and Miroku looked at Sesshomeru with wide eyes.
"DIDNT YOU HEAR?" They asked, more liked yelled. Sesshomaru growled. They smiled nervously.
"Kagome told me that Rin is doing stuff over lunch from now on...like helping out teachers...doing Student Service Learning Hours in the office and library...things like that..." Inuyasha said looking at his food and poking it with a fork.
Sesshomaru growled but then he looked down at the ground...
'Nothing will ever be the same...Rin...' He thought that's when Kouga looked up and his eyes widened.
"Hey look over there! It's Rin!" He yelled jumping up and down happily and pointing in her direction. ( None of them have seen her for like 2 days! So thats why hes all happy) Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku snapped thier heads in the direction he was pointing to and thier eyes widened as well...
There she was...Rin...
Rin peeked into the cafeteria before walking into it towards the vending machine, cursing at herself.
' I'm so stupid! How can I pack my lunch but forget to pack a drink?' Rin thought. She frowned at herself as she took out some money and put them into the machine. ' Maybe I could make this quick. I dont want to run into anyone...' Rin crossed her fingers in hope as she took out the drink. She opened it and took a big gulp before turning to walk out of the room...only to crash into something...
hard...
Rin practiacally spilled her drink but luckily it didnt spill on her. She cursed to herself, she lost some of her drink but still had some left, but when she looked up to see who she crashed into she cursed at herself again...'Sesshomaru...'
"Rin I-" Sesshomaru started but he was cut off.
"Sorry, I crashed into you. Well, bye..." Rin walked around him and walked towards the exit of the cafeteria but Sesshomaru grabbed her arm. Rin turned around glaring at him.
"What are you doing?" She said trying to yank her arm out of his grasp, but that only made him tighten his grip.
"Why wont you talk to me or any of us anymore?" Sesshomaru demanded. Rin glared daggers at him. She looked down at his hand that had a firm grip on her.
"Your hurting me." She said still trying to yank her arm out. Sesshomaru groweled.
"Tell Me!" He demanded. He glared at her. Rin looked away.
Sesshomaru waited for an answer. His eyes were getting red from anger and sadness. Rin could feel them radiating off from him...she could also feel the glare he was giving her.
Rin spun around and gave Sesshomaru a glare. Rin pulled her arm out of his grasp and looked at him...no longer was she glaring...
"Why do you care Sesshomaru?" Tears began to form in her eyes..." How could something like you ever care."Rin turned around and ran out of the room. Sesshomaru just stared...
"Arent you going to go after her Sess?" Kouga yelled coming up from behind him with Inuyasha and Miroku. That's when Kagome, Sango, and Aya came up to them too.
"What did you do? You made her cry again didnt you!" Kagome yelled and glared at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru glared back and ran after Rin.
Rin ran all the way to her dorm and when she got there she slamed the door shut and took out her cell phone to call Naraku.
Rin waited until she herd Naraku's voice.
"Rin-chan?" Naraku asked when he picked up the phone. He was in his study and didnt expect Rin to call him.
Rin burst out into tears causing Naraku to put on a serious face and stand up from his chair. ( He was working at his desk.)
"Rin, whats wrong." Naraku asked seriously but gently.
"Naraku-sama, I want out! I dont want to stay here anymore!" Rin yelled into the phone, crying her eyes out. ' I dont want to stay here anymore! I want out!...'
I think I'll end it there... Crap! I just relized that I just left a cliffy! I hate cliffys...but I'm not gona put to many in my story. Anyways, sorry if I take a few days to update...school just began and well I have to get things organized. But dont worry! I'll update!
