Chapter 4Friendships in the Making

Rin stepped out of her next class with Sesshomaru at her side. As they walked down the hallway, Rin couldn't help but occasionally glance at him. It looked like Sesshomaru didn't even notice.

'Wow. He is really cute and I think I like him. Still, he probably won't even notice.' Rin thought sadly.

The day had gone by really fast and before Rin knew it school was over. Now, Sess and her were walking down the sidewalk. Sess was talking about something but Rin didn't seem to care.

Sess noticed that she wasn't paying attention and she proved it by running into a tree. He looked at her in confusion. Rin looked up at him from her new found place. The ground. Sess helped her up and gave her a look.

"You know, as much as the tree likes you. I think you two should stay apart for a while. Anyway why did you decide to run into a tree?" Sess asked.

Rin stood there blushing a little. She looked up at him and said "Well I didn't plan on face planting myself into a tree, you know. It was an accident. I was thinking about our homework for Geometry."

Sess shook his head in disbelief and gave her a grin that made Rin melt. "Well, if you two want some time alone then you should've asked. You and the tree make a great couple. Both of you are brainless."

Rin turned red and started to yell. "SESSHOMARU YOU BAKA." She started to chase him across the grounds.

Hiding behind a couple of bushes, Kagura stood there watching them. She mainly had her focus on Rin. 'How could that witch even think about going after my man?' Kagura thought with anger rising in her heart. This girl would pay. She would make sure of that. Kagura slipped into a building with one last glare at Rin and headed off for cheer practice.

Rin chased Sess half way around the building until he fell over. Rin couldn't stop in time and landed right on him. Sess looked up to see Rin right on top of him. They both quickly stood up blushing. Rin noticed that the sun was starting to go down.

"Well, um I better get going. You know, with all the homework. Well, see you later Sess." Rin called while running off.

Sesshomaru watched her go. He felt a little shocked. 'What just happened here?' He thought while he was trying to do his homework. Koga decide to stop by and do or copy Sesshomaru's homework. He had a cd-player on his head and was listening to what seemed like Linkin Park. Sesshomaru shrugged his shoulders and continued on his homework for the day.

Rin ran up to her room. She was just about to start her homework when the phone rang. Rin picked up the phone and put it next to her ear only to her someone screaming on the other end. "Hello? Who is this?

"Its Kagome from school and you are in so much trouble." Kagome yelled.

Rin's eyes widened and she shook her head. She had given Kagome her number so if Rin needed anything like homework help, Kagome could call her. "Kagome please stop yelling. I can hear you loud and clear. What did I do?" Rin asked nervously.

Kagome paused for a moment before speaking again."It's about you and The Ice Prince. Why are you hanging out with him? He is such a jerk." Kagome had started to yell again.

Rin shook her head while trying to understand everything that Kagome was saying. "Who the heck is the Ice Prince?" Rin asked.

Kagome screamed at her. "Well, HE IS THE BIGGEST JERK YOU WILL EVER MEET. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE DATING HIM!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs.

Rin stood there in shock. There was a rumor about her and Sess? 'Wow. Its like I am dating him.' Rin thought but shook her head at this.

"Calm down Kagome. Three things. One, I am not dating Sess. Two, he is not a jerk. He is quite nice. Three, where on earth did you hear that crazy story?" Rin asked.

Kagome let out a huge sigh and started to talk more calmly. "My boyfriend is his younger brother and he heard it from some girl named Kagura."

Rin felt anger rise in her throat. She was starting to get ticked off. 'How could someone say such a thing? What did I ever do to her?' Rin thought madly. She rushed out of the room so fast; Kagome couldn't get a word in. Rin ran as fast as she could to the suburbs. Sess had said that was where he lived. 'I have to talk to him right now.'

Sesshomaru was sitting at his computer trying hard to concentrate. Koga was no help at all. For, it was because of him that Sess couldn't concentrate. Koga had been talking for about 30 minutes. Finally, Sesshomaru couldn't take it anymore. He turned a round to Koga and raised his fist to hit him but instead got the wind knocked out of him.

"So, Sess you have to tell me who this Rin girl is and why you didn't tell me you had a new girlfriend. I mean come on. I thought I was your best friend." Koga screeched out which made Sesshomaru refrain from hitting him in the face.

Sesshomaru gave him a stern look. And said in a calm tone. "I do not have a girlfriend and Rin is just my friend. Where did you here such a ridicules story to begin with?"

Koga smiled at him. "You can't lie to me Sess. I know you like her. You always turn a little red each time a mention her name. So, are you going to ask her out or what?" Koga asked. He was sure getting a kick out of this.

"I am just friends with Rin and if she were here I would make sure to tell her. She doesn't like me that way anyhow. So, it really doesn't matter if I like her our not. It's none of your business any way Koga." Yelled Sesshomaru.

Koga had already started laughing but closed his mouth when he looked out the window. He looked back at Sess and gave him a grin. "Would you really say that or are you just pulling my leg?" he questioned.

Sesshomaru stood up and proudly said "Of course I would. I would tell her exactly that and nothing else."

Koga tried to hide a grin. But he was failing miserable. He got up and opened the door and yelled back "Well, here comes your chance. She is headed up your drive way. See you later."

Sesshomaru jumped up and ran for the door. He ran down the stairs and opened his front door only to run right into her. Rin looked up at him in confusion and blushed. Sess was already blushing like crazy. They both stood up and Sess invited her in.

Rin looked around and giggled. 'Sess' house is huge. I can't believe he lives here.' Rin thought. Sesshomaru stood by the door until he motioned her to follow him up the stairs. He opened a door and Rin stepped in. The room was so clean it shocked her. On side there was a desk with a computer and a book shelf right next to it. On the other side was a bed. (Just like my room. I wish.) Sesshomaru sat down on his bed and they didn't talk for a little while. Rin breathed in a big gulp of air and said "Sess, something weird just happened."

Sesshomaru was just about to answer him when a young girl ran into the room and gave him a hug. Kagura looked up at him and smiled a big smile before looking at Rin. That smile quickly turned into a frown.

"Hi Sess. I let myself in. I hope you don't mind. Who may I ask are you and what are you doing with Sess?" Kagura asked waiting for an answer.

Rin stood there and glared at Kagura. "I am Rin and I am Sesshomaru's friend. My question is Who the heck are you?" Rin had to stop for a breath.

Kagura smiled and wrapped her arms around Sess. "I am his girlfriend." Kagura grinned at the girl.

Rin felt like she had just been shattered into pieces.

(A/N: Hi everyone. It's me again. So I hope you are all enjoying my story. I got a review from one of the readers that they don't think this is how college goes. That is why I have switched this to a college fan fic. I'm sorry if it confused you. I'm not in college. So I would like to thank everyone who sent me some reviews on it. Thanks.
