Note: Rin has never seen Sesshomaru before. Although she's heard of him from Inuyasha... in curses though... lol -.-;;;;;;

Also for something that concerns Kagura: I didn't really want to make Kagura a bad person since, in many fanfics I've seen, she's evil... so I decided to try something um... 'new' :) Same goes for Kikyo... :) (Yeah I know, it sounds innocent and dull xD Can't help it though :-/ I felt kinda sorry for em... Eh-heh... o.o;;)

There's not much in this chapter - it's kinda short, but expect a cliffie at the end! Hehe... Please R&R!


.: Torn Inside :.

Chapter 2: Meeting Part 1

"Inuyasha!" Rin shouted at him, getting up. "Watch where you're going!"

(A/N: Ahahahaha...! Thought it was Sesshomaru, eh? Hehe... I got ya! Okay, okay I'll shut up... On with the story!)

"The hell!" The half-breed growled. "You're the one who bumped into me!"

Rin ignored him as she hurried to pick up her things and rushed to class. Inuyasha ran after her, they had the same class, yelling something. She was going to get glares... like before.

She rushed into her classroom and was on time. Inuyasha, on the other hand, was late, he arrived a bit before the bell rung - when Rin stepped into the classroom. He glared at her and she gave a low, nervous giggle and looked in the opposite direction while he headed out to the office.

-- - --

Rin sighed in relief when the bell rung for the class to be over. She had felt Inuyasha glare at her back for the whole period, while Kagome said something to him but he ignored her - for once which was rare. Rin rushed out to her next class. A few more classes to endure and she was out!

'Oh... Wait...' They were going shopping... and he would be there... She sighed. Her freedom was trapped in a cage for the moment.

After School:

"Um... I'll see you later over there okay?" Rin said hurriedly. She wanted to get away from Inuyasha as soon as possible, he was on her back like a hawk who hunted a persistant prey. He was glaring at her at the moment. Kagome gave a warning glare to him. He shrunk down a bit.

Sango nodded. "Alright, meet at the usual place at the park?"

They all nodded and agreed. "Alright then, 3:24PM we'll meet."

"Got it! Let's go Kagura!" She grabbed her cousin's arm before she or anyone else could say anything and rushed off.

"... What an energetic woman..." Miroku said looking at their fading figures.

"When it comes from you, Miroku," Inuyasha said glaring at him, "it reeks of something illegal."

"I'm hurt Inuyasha!" He said looking offended. "I wouldn't do such a thing like that!"

"... But it's true, though..." Ayame said.

"Remember that incident with Koharu?" Kagome said looking him down.

"... Er... That was a misunderstanding..." He said shrinking down. Sango was glaring at him, an aura to kill was around her. He sweatdropped. "Um... I didn't mean it!" He recived a hard slap on the face, it seemed like it was going to stay for half a day.

"Ow!"

-----------

"Kanna!" Rin called when they opened the door to Kagura's house. "Kanna! Where are you?"

"Yes...?" A soft voice said from the left. A girl that looked about 7 or so stood. She had pale skin, her hair was white too. She wore a white kimono whenever she came home or went out, it was her favorite. Two white lilies, on different sides - one was on the left, the other was on the right, were pinned into her hair.

"Ah, Kanna!" Rin smiled. "Let's go to the park and meet the others okay?"

"..." The little girl looked at them for a moment.

"Please?" Rin said putting on a puppy face, begging. "It'll be fun!"

"... Okay..." Kanna answered, giving in. "I will go..."

Rin grinned. "Alright!" Kagura sighed, "Well let's get going!"

Rin sweatdropped, "Um... Kagura... Let's put our things away first and bring some (pocket) money?"

"... Oh yeah..."

----------

Park:

"There you are!" Sango said to them. Kagura, Kanna, and Rin arrived a few minutes late, then again, they didn't see Inuyasha and Kagome yet. Kikyo waved hello, reading a book. Ayame was yelling at Koga about something and Miroku rubbed his injury inflected earlier.

"Where are Kagome, Shippo, and Inuyasha?" Kagura asked them.

"Well... Seemed like someone got sat a few times... and then they said they were going to arrive a bit late." Sango said looking to the side.

Kikyo looked up from her book. "Ah. They're they are now." She pointed to three walking figures.

Koga looked, "Finally you three arrived! Took you forever!"

He recived a growl, "Shut up you stinkin' wolf!"

Koga glared, "I dare you to say that again, stupid mutt!"

They had a glaring contest. Kagome sighed. Shippo looked at them and gave a hopeless look. "Man... Those two are so stupid..."

"I agree with you there Shippo..." Miroku said looking.

"Same for me..." Ayame said holding back the urge to giggle.

Rin sighed. "Well, I'll be right back okay you guys? I want to buy a drink. Do any of you want some?"

"Okay how about y--" Miroku recived a glare from Sango. "Um... Nothing for me."

"I... want juice..." Kanna said looking up at Rin. "Please...?"

Rin smiled. "Okay, anyone else?"

"Water for us, Rin!" Kagome and Kikyo said.

She nodded and looked at the others.

"No thanks." The rest said in a voice.

Rin sighed. "Alright... I'll just get Kanna her juice, Kagome's and Kikyo's water, and myself something." She walked off quickly.

Kagome's foot came down hard on Inuyasha's foot making him break eye contact with Koga, the half demon yelped. "Hey, go with her! You can't let a girl go by herself no matter what!"

"Kagura can go with Inuyasha..." Kanna said in a soft voice. "You might be able to... hold him back..."

"As in, keep him out of trouble..." Shippo said. "Like a girl taking care of a reluctant puppy... heh, heh..."

He glared in Shippo's direction. Shippo looked away. Ayame and the others held back laughter, Kikyo was busy reading her book.

"... Hm... Maybe I should..." Kagura said looking up.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome warned. "Go. NOW."

The half-breed looked reluctant and didn't move, glaring at the corner of his eye. Kagome stared him down.

"..." He shrunk a litte, muttering curses, he seemed to be thinking it over. Kagura let out small laugh. Maybe she should go with the "reluctant puppy"...

-- - --

Rin rushed off to the nearest store about a few blocks away. She paid for the drinks and left the store. She sighed and slowed down when she was a few steps away from it. She needed a break. Inuyasha glaring at her, for what wasn't her fault, exusted her completely; he was like a puppy who incriminates someone else in place of what he did. Though she felt better when she was informed he got sat. She giggled a bit and walked a bit faster and was lost in her thoughts. She didn't look where she was going and crashed into someone.

"Oof!" She said backing a few feet away from the person she crashed into, recovering a bit from the stun, holding her head when doing so, the bag swung back and forth on her other arm.

'Ugh... Why do I crash into people so many times?' She wondered silently.

"Um... I'm sorry, I wasn't paying atten-" She looked up, her hand falling to the side. "-tion..."

"Inu--..." She started. "No..." She shook her head a bit.

That was not him. She was sure. She looked at the person again. This person looked a bit older, maybe a year or two. He looked a bit more feminime to her and he had a cool and impassive gaze. His hair was longer than Inuyasha's, same color though.

"Er... Um... I'm sorry." She said bowing realizing she was staring, also apoligizing again for crashing into him.

He glared at her and narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking of something else yet answered her, "... Watch where you are walking..."

Rin shivered a bit, that voice was cold, emotionless - no feeling at all, not to mention he had some nerve, acting all high and superior... That ticked her off a bit. "Uh... I apologize... Um... Sir..."

"..." He was quiet, seemingly thinking. "You... You have the scent of Ka--"

He was interrupted by a voice behind Rin.

"Sesshomaru!"
