Ever since Rin's first day at the academy things had been going fantastic. During her time in the eighth grade Rin joined the art club, the creative writing club, and the drama club. She also took a liking to sports thanks to Inuyasha and Sango, a girl who she had met through Kenzi. She was co – captain of the softball team, basketball team, soccer team, tennis team, and even the volleyball team. Sango was always captain, and no one dared to challenge her for that spot. There was one team that Rin was the captain of and that was the dance team. She had always loved dancing, she was even put into dancing classes when she was a little girl, but after her the death of her family she never attended again. Rin was also at the top of her class….well close to the top. She placed second in her class while Sesshomaru held first place. Apparently, no one had ever been able to beat him when it came to the class rankings….or anything for that matter.
Not only was Sesshomaru at the top of his class, but he was also quarterback of the football team, captain of the boys basketball, the boys soccer team, the golf team, every academic team, and even the captain of the chess team. Which honestly no one even knew that there could be a captain of a chess team. There were only three things that he wasn't the captain of the dance team, cheerleading squad, and the tennis team. Him and Sango had a very challenging competition to see who would become captain. No one ever really knew the end result of the competition. Some say that Sesshomaru lost and some say that he just let her have it because he got bored but hey who knows right?
Rin was watching her favorite show when he phone started playing "It's Good to be Alive" by Adam Grammer. She picked up the phone and answered it not even bothering to look and see who it was.
"Moshi moshi." She said while continuing to watch her show.
"Rin, no one says that anymore." A deep monotone voice said.
"Well I do Fluffy, if you don't like it then don't call my phone."
"I told you stop calling me that ridiculous name."
"And I told you to stop having a stick up your ass all the damn time."
There were a few short second of silence on the other end of the phone.
"I'm on my way to pick you. I'll be there in 20 minutes."
"But Fluffy! I'm watching Lost Girl and it's a really good episode!" She whined into the phone much like a child.
"Do you have a DVR?"
"Yes."
"Then record the episode. It will be there when we get back."
"Ugh fine."
"Be ready in 20."
"Yeah yeah."
Both parties hung up the phone.
Rin sighed as she saved her favorite show to the DVR and got up to head to her room and change out of her pajamas. It was a Saturday and she didn't feel like going anywhere, but if she didn't want Sesshomaru to come bargaining in and fussing at her out about punctuality she would have to be dressed with in 20 minutes. She walked in to her closet and was suddenly having a hard time picking out what she wanted to wear.
"Well it is pretty hot outside so I guess some shorts would do nicely." She said as she pulled out her favorite pair of white shorts. She decided on a plain blue crop top and finished her look off with a pair of all black high top converse. Realizing she was running out of time she rushed in to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup. Rin didn't like makeup all that much so she only put on a bit of mascara. For her hair she decided to out half of her midnight black hair into a high ponytail and leave the rest of it out making sure to curl the ends of her hair. Satisfied with her look she grabbed her phone and headed downstairs. Right in time too. Sesshomaru had just pulled up and beeped the horn. She walked out locking the door behind her and got in the passenger seat.
"Hey Fluffy!" she said with a bright smile and laughed as she heard him growl in response.
"What have I told you about calling me that name, human?" Sesshomaru growled out as he gripped the steering wheel.
Rin put one hand under he chin thoughtfully
"I don't recall you every telling me that you don't like that name Sesshy, but if you don't like that one then I have plenty more than I can call you by."
Sesshomaru had to resist the urge to roll his eyes as Rin called out all of the nicknames that she had thought of to call him. They had been friends for a while now, best friends even. Which is kind of crazy considering how much they hated each other when they first met.
There was tension in the room as one pair of amber colored eyes stared into hazelnut colored eyes and another pair of amber colored eyes.
"When will you two stop this madness? This is the tenth time you have both been called to my office for fighting."
Rin and Sesshomaru since the day they met had been at each other's throats. It wouldn't be that way if Sesshomaru hadn't insulted her the first day that he met her. Rin tried to keep her anger at bay, but for some reason that idiotic dog kept on doing things to make her lose control so they were constantly fighting pretty much everyday. Of course their fights weren't physical, Sesshomaru would never let it get that far. Besides even if such a weak and pitiful human such as herself were to try to fight him she would with out a doubt in anyone's mind lose that fight before anyone could even blink. They fought every single day and it didn't help that they had almost every single class together. Both of them tried to get their classes changed, but to no avail. Inutaisho refused their request each and every time, which made no sense since everyone was sure that he was just about as tired of them arguing as everyone else.
"Sesshomaru, has heir to the Western lands and the company, I expect more from you. You are supposed to be a prime example for all of the students here. How am I supposed to teach demons and humans to interact with peace when my own son won't cease his excessive arguments with a human student. I will tolerate this no longer! Today you will stay after school and clean the classrooms. I want everything sparkling and shining." Inutaisho stated looking into his sons eyes.
Rin snickered. She loved seeing Sesshomaru get in trouble. It was one of the best parts of her day.
"I don't see why you are laughing Rin because you will be helping him clean as well."
"What?!" The expression on Rin's face was enough to make Inutaisho laugh, but he had to resist the urge.
"Father, I am perfectly fine with cleaning the classrooms alone but I refuse to do anything with that sad excuse for a girl."
"You're one to talk! You are a pititful excuse for a demon! Mr. Takahashi -"
"Oh please Rin, call me Inutaisho." he said with a vibrant smile.
Rin resisted the urge to laugh."Inutaisho, please do not make me work with him. I will clean the classrooms by myself for my punishment if I have to, but please do not make me work with the Ice Prince."
Rin and Seshsomaru began to argue again when Sesshomaru heard the ridiculous name that she had called him. He didn't appreciate being called such a childish name by such a lowly human. Inutaisho was started to get agitated, so much to the point that his eyes were no longer their usual amber color. He had had enough of their childish bickering.
"SILENCE! You will clean each of these classrooms together whether you like it or not! I have made my decision and it is finally!"
Both Rin and Sesshomaru, after seeing Inutaisho's glowing red eyes, took their seat and said nothing else. After seeing that both of them were done, Inutaisho's eyes turned back to their normal amber hue and he smiled.
"Well then, you too may return to class. I do not wish to hear any more bad reports coming from any of your teachers for the rest of the day or any day here after. You are dismissed."
With that they left the office and started to return to class, not speaking a word or even sparing a glance to each other. Rin had never seen Inutaisho like that before and she had actually felt bad for arguing with Sesshomaru. Inutaisho was one of her favorite people in her new family, and the last thing that she would want to do is make him angry or disappointed. She told her self that she wouldn't ever do that again, even if she really couldn't stand Sesshomaru.
School had been out for two hours now and Sesshomaru and Rin were busily cleaning, still not having said a word to each other. Rin had decided that she was going to start cleaning a different room just to get things moving along. She didn't bother telling Sesshomaru, she just left. While she was cleaning the teachers desk, her hand slipped and she received a huge cut from the metal edge.
She hissed in pain. "Why the heck does a desk have such a sharp metal piece on it?!"
She began to look for a rag to stop the bleeding when a flash of silver was suddenly in front of her. It was Sesshomaru. He had the same emotionless expression on his face like he always does as he grabbed her wrist and began to examine her hand.
"I'm fine . There's no need for you to be in here. " That was her attempt to get Sesshomaru away from her, but Sesshomaru wasn't budging.
She tried to pull her hand from him, but his grip only got tighter. He lifted her hand to his mouth.
"Wh-what the hell are you d-doing?!"
"Shut up and stop moving." His voice was stern and demanding and usually Rin would say something along the lines of "you don't tell me what to do" but seeing as how he was serious she decided against it.
Sesshomaru began to lick her hand where the wound was making sure to get every drop of blood.
'Oh God! He's a monster!' Rin thought in horror.
While Rin was internally freaking she didn't realize that her wound was slowly closing up because of Sesshomaru.
"What happened to the cut?" She asked in shock and disbelief.
"I healed it." He said simply as he stood.
"So that explains like you were licking me like the cute little doggy you are." She had said that last part in a baby voice hoping to irritate him.
He smirked. "Did you just call me cute?"
Rin turned bright red. "N-no!"
"My ears hear everything Rin or did you forget that this Sesshomaru is a full fledged demon?"
Sesshomaru began walking towards her causing her to back up into the dry erase board. Little did Rin know, that this was against his own will. His demon was the one who was in control.
'Maaate'
His demon had awaken due to tasting Rin's blood. A demon knows when he has found his mate either by the smell of their blood or the taste of it. Even if Sesshomaru didn't want a human as his mate his demon did and he was ready to claim her at that very moment. Before Sesshomaru knew what he was doing he was leaning over Rin with his hands on either side of her head and his nose was in the crook of her neck.
Rin was panicking at this point. She had never been this close to a boy before! Not only that Sesshomaru was...sniffing her? Within a flash Sesshomaru was gone.
"Well that was...awkward."
Ever since then Rin and Sesshomaru had started acting oddly towards each other. There was even a time where he had saved her from falling out of the sixth floor window of the school. As time moved on the became the best friends that they are now.
"So where are we going Fluffy?" Rin asked, for what had to have been the tenth time since they had started driving.
Sesshomaru growled low. His little human could at times be very annoying when he wouldn't tell her where he was taking her. Yes, he called her his little human. It was during their sophmore year when he had saw some pig kiss her. Literally a pig! Well he was a pig demon, but you get the point. He had told her after he had punched the boy that he wouldn't have his best friend have any interactions with a creature like him, but what he was really saying was " I will be the only one that my mate kisses". Rin still had no idea that she was his mate, but today was the day that he planned on telling her that he was her life mate. He figured that the best place to take her was a carnival. Rin loved the carnival and what better place to propose to your future than at a carnival.
