Ed: To that fat and ugly thing? No way in ooooooooooooowwwwwwww!

Nicole: (foot crushing Ed's head) Well why don't we get on with the story. Shall we?

Chapter 9 Jealousy Plus Cheerleader Equals Blank

Rin tried her best to pay attention in class but for some reason she couldn't. Ever since Sess had kissed her on the forehead all she could think about was him. She looked over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of him. He was taking down notes. That was exactly what she was supposed to be doing. She couldn't help but notice how cute he looked. Almost as cute as a puppy.

"Ms. Higashi. Please tell us the answer for number 12." Asked Mrs. Kamaguro.

Rin looked up and gulped. 'I guess this is what you call bad karma or bad luck' she thought grumpily. "Um, puppy?"

The class started to giggle while Mrs. Kamaguro shook her head. Rin was happy that Mr. Yamasaki quit but Mrs. Kamaguro was much worse. She would stare at you and make your spine freeze up. She also wasn't a patient woman.

"Ms. Higashi, may I remind you that you are in class. Now, I know that you love to go visit your dreamland that as you have just confirmed with me and the rest of the class is filled with puppies, you still haven't answered my question. Now, what is the answer?" she questioned.

Rin looked at her paper and said "The 12th Dynasty". The teacher nodded and went back up to the board and wrote down their assignment. The bell rang and everyone slowly left the classroom. Rin walked over to her locker and started to bang her head against it.

Sess walked over after a few minutes and watched her bang her head. After awhile he placed his hand in between her head and the locker. She looked over and started to blush which he found quite amusing.

"You do realize that banging your head against your locker does give you a huge bruise. And by the looks of that one you should think about buying cover up. So what was with the whole puppy thing?"

"Nothing really. I was just thinking of how fun it would be to get a cute, fluffy, and white puppy." Rin could feel herself blushing as they walked. Sesshomaru seemed to notice this as well and started to laugh.

As they walked across the school yard, Rin could feel someone watching her. She wasn't sure who but she could feel eyes settling on her.

Kagura stared as she tries to get Yura to stand up straight on the top of the pyramid. It was a little later till she heard Sesshomaru's laughter when she noticed them.

'That skank! What does she think she is doing? Sesshomaru isn't hers and yet they walk around like they are dating. GGGGGGGRRRRRR' She thought angrily as Yura caused the entire pyramid to fall over. Her attention was drawn back to its original state.

"YURA! What do you think you are doing? If you hadn't noticed, you are supposed to stay on top of the pyramid. Maybe if you lost a couple of pounds, gravity wouldn't be against you and you wouldn't fall on your lazy butt. And Kikyo. You call that a cartwheel? I have seen babies do better cartwheels then you. You are all pathetic. PRACTICE IS OVER!" Kagura stormed off leaving the others in total shock.

When Sess dropped Rin off at her house she ran upstairs to her room to start her homework. She sort of dazed off until her mother knocked on the door and told her to go to bed. She yawned and looked down at her paper and gasped. In each blank spot she had put the name "Sesshomaru". The only spot that had her name was… well actually it wasn't exactly her name.

Rin picked up the paper and almost fell over. It read "Rin Taisho". She started to shake her head and tear up the paper. She started to redo her correct assignment. It was midnight when she finished.

She got into her pajamas which wasn't much. Just a white tang top and pink Happy Bunny pants. Right before she was in bed her phone rang. Stunned, she went over and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

A calm but cruel voice talked back. "Hello Rin. Sorry for the late call but I felt like a chat. You looked like you had a nice day today. You and Sess seem to be getting closer. That isn't very good for his health if you get my meaning."

Rin listened silently but took in every word. If Kagura wanted to play games then she would play. "What do you mean 'bad for his health'? What are you plotting Kagura?"

A small laugh came from the other side of the phone. "Its good that you know who this is. I am also surprised with the tone in your voice. Here, I will make it simple. Stay away from Sesshomaru and he won't be harmed. I may be in love with him but, oh…what was that saying? You hurt the ones you love." Kagura knew the tone in her voice would be gone.

Rin gulped silently and studied her options. 1. She could never talk to Sess again which would silently kill her. 2. Ignore Kagura and watch Sess get hurt. Either way Kagura would win. But she had to protect him. He had done so much for her before and it was time for her to pay him back the favor.

"Fine. You win. I will stay away from Sesshomaru if you promise that he won't be harmed. Even though I can't trust a word you say." Rin slowly answered.

Kagura smiled at her victory. "You have made the right choice." With that she hung up the phone.

Rin put the phone back on the receiver. She slowly got into bed and cried. She would lose the best friend she had ever had. She didn't now how to go one day without talking to him. She at least got an hour of sleep that night.

Nicole: Wow. Now that was difficult. But I got it done.

Ed: What do you mean you got it done? That is so short it isn't even funny.

Nicole: The next one will be the longest I have ever written. By the way, were is Duo? He is usually bugging me.

Al: He is asleep on the couch. He passed out about an hour ago.

Nicole: (grabs a bucket of cold water and dumps it on his head.)

Duo: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nicole: Okay well that's all for now folks. See ya soon.
