Disclaimer: I asked for sesshoumaru for Christmas and got a lump of coal so I still don't own this series.

I am sooo sorry projects and school caught up with me so without further ado I give you chapter four (And Sessy).

Chapter 4

Back to worse…

Rin trudged slowly to the principal's office dreading what she would find there. She dragged her feet took detours and put it off for as long as she could but eventually she stood outside the door of the principal's office. And she knocked softly on the door.

"Come in." said a deep monotone voice that caused Rin to shiver then straighten her spine as she walked into the room.

"You called for me sir?"

"Yes, nearly ten minutes ago. If you had responded promptly we could have skipped your least favorite class, as it is you will have to explain it to your teacher tomorrow." Rin found herself meeting the golden eyes of the tallest and most beautiful man she had ever seen. His hair was long and almost white but he looked young he couldn't be more than twenty-two,unless he was a demon, his stance was passive but as Rin studied his eyes he seemed impatient almost as if he was waiting for something… oh right I need to reply.

"Hai" She replied slightly dazzled by his beauty and wondering what this was all about.

"Now as I understand this is yours?" He his voice implied that he was asking but his movements were sure and face was blank as he held Rin's math exam out to her. "Yes" Rin replied confused as to why it mattered.

"Hn," the man glanced at some papers in his hands.

"This is a calculus test and you are in algebra 2."

"Hai," Rin was starting to get annoyed with all of these pointless questions.

Sesshoumaru handed her the newly corrected paper. Rin's eyes widened as she looked at the new grade, a 90%! Her brown eyes widened and the look of confusion on her face almost made Sesshoumaru smirk but her next question wiped the thought from his mind.

"You didn't show this to Jaken did you? Ohh, he'll hate me even more now! Please, don't show it to him, I don't want any more trouble forget that you saw this please!" She tried to rip the offending paper to bits. Sesshoumaru snatched the paper from her trembling hands. Though his face remained cold he was stunned that the girl wasn't happy with this turn of events. It was no secret that her teacher, Mr. Jaken, hated Rin with a passion and did everything he could to make her life miserable but what could he have done to cause this reaction?

"Calm yourself Rrrin, what has been done to you to cause this kind of reaction to a mere change in test score?" The young girl stiffened and all trace of panic was carefully wiped from her face. Her mask rivaled his own in blankness but he could smell that she was on the verge of tears. Sesshomaru found himself impressed, it was rare that a human could copy his blank mask quite so well especially such a young girl, they were after all such emotional creatures.

"Nothing sir I am sorry for my overreaction, it was indecent of me to behave that way." Her was down and her voice quiet and monotone. Sesshomaru didn't believe her for a second. But was now intrigued this girl seemed to get more interesting by the second. She could blank herself so well that if it hadn't been for her previous panic and her faint scent of tears he might have believed her.

"Hn. You look pale gather your things and remain in the infirmary for the rest of the day." Rin's mask shattered her eyes widened in fear and she began to tremble again.

"N-n-n-no! I am fine, really!"

Sesshoumaru allowed one eyebrow to raise but he didn't ask any questions. He found that he liked that he could shattered her mask so easily but wanted to growl at the note of fear in her tone.

"You are barely standing go straight there another student will bring you your things do not argue with this Sesshoumaru Rrrin. Go." He turned from her indicating that the conversation was over. He heard the door open,

"And Rin if I find you're not there in ten minutes I shall be forced to suspend you." When he heard the door's quiet click(Rin was too shocked to slam the door) he finally let himself relax enough to sigh. Something was bothering his cute… that student and he needed to find out what. What better way to do that than to watch her while she was in the infirmary, for research purposes of course. Something terrified his…. that student and he needed to find out why… for the sake of the school of course.

That arrogant teacher doesn't even know that he's sending me to my doom… I guess no one knows but still why do I have to I have to go there.

Rin thought of the reason for her fear and shivered as each of her slow trembling steps led her closer and closer to her nightmare, and the true reason why Jaken bullies her.

-Flashback-

There is no official nurse for this school so when Rin and Jaken were both injured during the fall and Jaken was the teacher on duty so they had to take care of themselves. Rin turned away from Jaken as she opened her blouse to assess the damage. She found a small wound bleeding slightly and winced reaching for an alcohol wipe and a band-aid. However when she looked up she found Jaken staring at her with a lewd look on his face. "For a human you're not so bad. I may forgive you for your grave insult if..." He shifted slightly trying to look up her skirt. Frightened Rin kicked Jaken in the face and ran to the girls bathroom where she locked herself in a stall till she stopped shivering and could fix her uniform. Rin would never forget the next day when she found herself trapped by Jaken once again. His glare had said it all he would take his time but at the right moment he would take his revenge. His chuckle as he walked away from her caused a cold shiver to crawl down her spine.

-Flashback End-

Undoubtedly he was hoping the stress of his class would either make her give in or send her to he infirmary where he could trap her once again. Rin shook her head as the door to the infirmary came in sight. Off duty teachers served as nurses there was no reason to think that Jaken would be there. Rin shook off her fear as she yanked the infirmary door open and looked around No sign of Jaken. Rin sighed in relief and made her way to a bed and collapsed on top of it instantly asleep. Rin was so deeply asleep that she didn't hear the squeak of the door as it reopened or the pad of footsteps making their way towards her bed…

Not much changed in this chapter but what do you think? Also more Cliffys, you know you wanted one.
