Hey everyone, Ella here! Sorry I didn't greet you guys earlier. I've been enjoying the reviews you left. I'll make the future chapters longer than this and the previous ones, although if you'd like me to keep them short like this, just tell me in the reviews. I'll also try to upload chapters as often as I could, at least 2 chapters per week so don't forget to follow this story to get notified when it gets updated!
Also I forgot to put disclaimers on the prologue and the first chapter, so here it is. I don't own Inuyasha nor any any of the characters. This story's plot is a product of my imagination, any similarities with previous works by other authors were not intentional.
Happy reading!
Chapter 2
The first half of the day went by so quickly, before Rin could notice, it was already time for lunch. Feeling like the assertive girl that she is, she took out her bento and took a deep breath before tapping Kagome on the shoulder. A smiling Kagome turned to her seat and immediately noticed the bento on top of her desk.
"Ah! Tachibana-san, do you want to eat lunch with us?" Kagome asked her before she could speak.
"Ano, would that be okay? Also, you don't have to be so formal with me. You can just call me Rin."
"Hai hai, Rin-chi. Ikimashou, Sango-chi, Miroku-kun, Inuyusha-nobaka." Kagome said before taking out her own lunch and started heading for the door while ignoring Inuyasha's yapping about Kagome still being mad about not going Sakura viewing before the new semester started.
Rin followed them out of the room, a bit confused as to where they were going to eat their lunch. They first stopped by the room next to theirs and picked up two Okami before heading for the stairs. The rooms of the first years are located on the 4th floor of the 6-storey high school department building. They were already on the 6th floor when she realized they might be going to the rooftop for lunch.
They were just a few steps away from the stairs to the rooftop when a girl came running out of the hallway leading to the Janitor's closet that's next to the stairs. She was clearly crying and frustrated as her face was tinged red and there were visible tracks of fresh tears on her cheeks. Just a few moments after the girl ran out, a guy which happens to be the student council president came out of the same hallway, same nonchalant expression on his face from their encounter in the morning as if he didn't just come out of the same hallway as the crying girl.
He slowly walked towards their group, facial expression still unchanging except for the slight narrowing of his eyes that Rin realizes is directed at her. She slightly feels panic as he nears her spot and stopped in front of her. She looked at him with eyes full of questions, he also looked at her with a confused look.
"Girl, what do you think you are staring at? You're in my way, move." He commanded, breaking Rin out of her mind's own questions.
She moved to the side and for the second time that day, watched the president's retreating back. When he got a few feet of distance from where their group was, Inuyasha spoke in a very annoyed tone.
"Oi Sesshomaru. Do you make it your life's mission to scare every single girl in the world?"
Upon hearing Inuyasha speak, Sesshomaru stopped on his tracks and turned around to face them, expression still unchanging.
"Inuyasha, this is none of your concern. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. She was in my way, I just simply told her to get out of it."
Inuyasha slightly growled at him and said, "You ass. Couldn't you just walk somewhere else? And that crying girl, was she on your way too?"
Sesshomaru remained unfazed by Inuyasha's words, turned his back on the group then spoke.
"Don't go sniffing around my personal affairs. That girl was crying because of herself and I had no hand in it whatsoever. If a person expresses their disinterest and the other party cries, it certainly isn't the person's fault, is it. Now, I don't owe you nor your group of unwanted spectators any explanation towards my unquestionable behavior. If I may, I would like to continue on with my day and take my leave.
With that, he continued walking and Rin just quietly stared at his back yet again, feeling lost at how quickly the heated exchange between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru transpired.
"Che. Sesshomaru that arrogant bastard." Inuyasha said with disgust evident in his tone.
"He probably rejected that girl too. I can't believe someone's confessed to him already, and it's just the first day. It's amazing how girls keep on confessing to him despite the rumors about how he rejects girls. Girls who confessed to him before said that he can be really degrading when he rejects a girl. It's not enough that he says no, he even tells you all the reasons why he would never even consider you or give you a second glance. Rumor has it that there was even this one girl who had to undergo therapy after having been brutally rejected by him." Kagome said, speaking to no one in particular, as she gently stroked Inuyasha's arms that were entwined with hers, as if calming him, her previous mood towards him completely forgotten.
"Inuyasha, you still don't get along very well with your oniisan."
Rin stared wide-eyed at the male okami named Koga who spoke, and let out a louder than the normal volume and surprised "EH?". It was their turn to stare at her, as if asking her for an explanation to how that wasn't obvious in the first place.
"Ano, Inuyasha-san, is Takahashi-sempai really your oniisan? I mean, you did look alike a bit but…" she trailed off mid-sentence.
"Che. We have different mothers, but he really is my aniki. I can't stand him even more at school than at home. At least at home, he usually just keeps his arrogance to himself in order to not anger otousan." Inuyasha explained.
After a short period of silence, Kagome clapped her hands once to clear the air of awkwardness and said, "Now why don't we just forget about what happened here and eat our lunch at the rooftop, ne? Let's not waste this nice and sunny spring day."
With that, the seven of them continued their journey to the rooftop to have their lunch.
