(A/N: Hello again. Haha. I have made it to Chapter Six. Yeah! Go Me. So this part deals with conflict, friendship, and evil teacher. You see the teacher…. I best stop myself. Don't want to ruin it. Well, here you go.)
Chapter 6 Afternoon Detention
Rin sat in Feudal Era History silently. She had never gotten on a teachers bad side. Never. But somehow she had gotten on Mr. Yamasaki's really fast. Every other minute he would look at her and shake his head. 'Man, I hate this guy.' Rin thought.
Sesshomaru was less interested in the teacher than Rin. He saw the looks he was giving her and sometimes Sess would clear his throat to get his attention. To Sess that signified that he better get his eyes of Rin before he ended up losing them.
Rin was drawing a small sketch of a horse when Mr. Yamasaki called her name.
"Ms. Higashi, why don't you tell us how women were treated back in the Feudal Era? Unless you need Mr.Taisho to help you?" called Mr. Yamasaki. He knew he had embarrassed her.
The class giggled as Rin turned red. She stood up and cleared her throat. She opened her mouth but nothing came out.
"What's wrong Ms. Higashi, cat got your tongue?" Mr. Yamasaki watched as Rin looked down at the floor.
That sent the class into a giggle fit. Sesshomaru was about to stand up when he saw Rin clench her fists together. 'This will get interesting.' He thought with a smile. Rin wasn't going to back down because of a few giggles.
"Women in the Feudal Era weren't allowed to do much of anything. They were treated like dirt. They had to cook, clean, and keep their husbands happy. They married for appearances or for love. The man of the house could slave his woman or treat her with respect. There are few men who would do that. Now, if the women didn't do as they were told they would have to be punished by the men that didn't love their wives. In such they would find a sick sort of happiness each time they embarrassed or harassed their women. There are still pigs like that still alive today. Even in this room." Rin had to stop to catch her breath.
The class broke out in cheers and applause. Mr. Yamasaki frowned and looked three steps away from blowing up. He cleared his throat and the class stopped clapping.
"Well, that was a very spirited speech. As for the last part I think you can join me for detention this afternoon." Mr. Yamasaki smiled.
When he did smile it made Sesshomaru want to puke. The bell rang and the class broke out into the hallway.
"I thought that your speech was good. Mr. Yamasaki is a jerk. He just can't give out detention to people just for not liking their speech. Man he ticks me off." Sess yelled as they walked to Geometry.
Rin was too depressed to care. Her parents were going to freak. She had detention today and on Saturday. Could this day get any worse?
Sess was talking to her and could tell she wasn't listening. "So, what do you say?"
Rin snapped out of her trance and looked at him in confusion. "What did you say?"
Sess sighed and shook his head. "I asked if you wanted a ride home after your detention and on Saturday."
Rin perked up immediately. "That would be great. Thank you. You are always coming to my rescue."
Sesshomaru blushed a little and walked a bit faster. Rin caught up quick and continued to smile.
The day past pretty quickly and soon it was time for Rin's detention. She walked into the classroom and saw Mr. Yamasaki grading papers. When he saw her he grinned.
"Welcome Ms. Higashi. It is wonderful to have you with me today. You can start by cleaning off the desks. This will be something like what you are going to do on Saturday." Rin nodded and got to work.
After she had cleaned of the desks she had to pick up paper off the floor and clean the board. Finally it was 4:00. Rin stood up to leave but was stopped by Mr. Yamasaki.
"Well Rin, I can see you are finished and that it is time to go. You know you shouldn't talk about a teacher like that. I expect for you to respect me or bad things could happen understand?" he asked while stroking her upper arm.
Rin panicked and froze. 'What is he doing? I know teachers aren't allowed to touch students like this. Where is Sesshomaru?' As if he could hear her thoughts Sess started to walk down the hall.
Rin opened the door and ran out. Sess was caught a little of guard at her running but ignored it.
Sesshomaru walked her to his car and drove off. Rin remained silent the whole ride. When they finally pulled up her driveway Rin was still silent.
"Hey Rin, did something happen at detention? You seem awfully quiet." Sess asked concerned.
Rin looked at him and put on a fake smile. "Everything is fine Sess. Thanks for the ride. I will see you tomorrow." She made a move to get out of the car but stopped when his hand grabbed hers.
He looked at her with a concerned look. Rin smiled and moved her hand away. "Don't worry. I am okay. Nothing bad is going to happen. Goodnight." With that she walked away and opened her front door and walked in.
Sess pulled out and looked back at the house. 'Somehow I doubt that.'
(A/N: Well that's it for today. Please review.)
