Welcome to the second chapter of "A Tale of Twisted Love"!

In the other chapter, Alyssa and me already checked for all mistakes, but as soon as we published the chapter, we noticed a ton of mistakes (Thanks to RingoNeko for telling us). We think that it was automatically changed when we published it, or something similar to that.

Please forgive us for those mistakes!

Thanks to Secret Angel Forever21 and RingoNeko for their reviews!

Once again, we DO NOT own Inuyasha.

Now on with the story!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

: Flashback :

Sakura blossoms were falling gently to the ground as Inuyasha and Kikyou walked through the park.

The sun was setting but there were still rays of orange left in the sky.

"Oh Inuyasha! Thank you so much for the dinner, it was really great." Kikyou whispered in Inuyasha's ear.

Inuyasha held Kikyou in his arms.

"Anything for you Kikyou."

"Well, we should be getting home now…" Kikyou trailed off.

"I'll drive you back to your place." Inuyasha suggested.

"It's alright. My parents will worry if I don't bring back their car." Earlier in the day, Kikyou drove to the date since her parents suggested it would be better for them.

"Alright." Inuyasha sighed in disappointment, lessening his grip on Kikyou.

"But you know I love you." Kikyou smiled lovingly, glancing into Inuyasha's eyes.

"I love you too. But are you sure you don't want me to drive you back home?" Inuyasha worried. He usually never showed his caring side around others besides his mom and Kikyou.

"Don't worry! It's not like anything bad is going to happen in the ten minutes it takes me to drive to my house."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

That night Inuyasha drove back home and went to sleep, still thinking about Kikyou.

But the next day things took a turn for the worse.

Inuyasha found out that Kikyou had been in a car accident while driving back home. A drunk driver hit her, but she didn't make it. She was dead.

: End Flashback :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The auditorium was loud and noisy, and Inuyasha's sensitive ears were really starting to hurt.

He was becoming really annoyed with the fact that his teacher forced him to do this stupid student exchange program, and it was only because he was failing history.

He sure learned his lesson about evil history teachers.

Inuyasha glanced around the gym and was disgusted by the fan girls who were screaming about him and his older brother, Sesshomaru.

His breath was suddenly knocked out when he glanced at a girl behind the fan girls. She looked just like Kikyou, with the exception of some minor details.

His eyes showed confusion as he stared right into the eyes of the girl. 'Is that…Kikyou?'

The girl blushed and looked down. 'Nah, she can't be Kikyou. Kikyou is way more mature and of course more beautiful.' Inuyasha tried to convince himself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, do you want to meet the new kids?" Rin asked the group.

"Why? You have a crush on one of them?" Sango joked.

Rin accidentally blushed as Sango and Miroku laughed. None of them noticed Kagome and Kirara blushing when they mentioned about crushes on the new students.

"So who's the lucky man who will fall for your beauty?" Miroku asked. That earned him a whack from Sango.

"But of course, my darling Sango, you are the most beautiful of them all." Miroku grinned, rubbing his head.

"Honestly, I don't have a crush! Okay? So, let's just forget that I ever mentioned meeting the new student." Rin's cheeks still had a tingle of pink in them.

"Alright Rin, if you say so. Well, we need to get to class. Bye Rin! Bye Kirara!" Sango waved. Miroku and Kagome did the same. They headed toward the junior hallway. (AN: Okay, I don't know much about high school, but just to keep things simple, each grade level has their own hall way.)

"I'm going to head to the bathrooms, so just go on without me." Kirara said.

"Okay Kira (AN: My own little nickname for her;) ). Well, I'll meet you in algebra." Rin replied.

Rin wasn't watching were she was walking about bumped into someone. She landed right on her butt.

"Oh my Kami, I'm so sor-" Rin stopped midway into her sentence when she saw who she bumped into.

It was Sesshomaru Takahashi.

Rin's eyes went wide at the site of him. She quickly got up and apologized.

"Oh my Kami! I'm really, really sorry that I bumped into you! I wasn't looking at where I was walking and-"

"Be more careful next time." Sesshomaru interrupted.

"Uh, okay." Replied Rin awkwardly.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Rin Shinohara."

"Hello Rin. Well, I have to get to my next class. Maybe next time we can talk." Sesshomaru walked away, towards the senior hall.

'Wow, I can't believe I got to talk to Sesshomaru on the first day he's here. Maybe I'll be lucky and we'll meet again.' Rin thought.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bell rang as Kirara took a seat beside Rin in the algebra room.

The teacher came in with one of the exchange students, Shippo.

"Hello class. Today one of the exchange students will be joining our class. I guess you already know his name from the assembly we had earlier in the day. But incase you forgot, this is Shippo Kanzaki." The teacher introduced.

"Now, why don't you take a seat beside Miss Ushimado?"

Kirara blushed as Shippo sat next to her.

"Now class, can someone explain the formula of the Pythagorean theorem?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as the bell rang, Rin ran out of the class.

School was finally over for the day.

As Rin waited near the entrance of the school for her friends, Naraku came up to her.

"Come on Rin? Are you sure you don't want to be my girlfriend?" Naraku asked.

Rin tensed up. "Yes Naraku. I'm sure there's someone better for you." Rin tried to be polite.

Suddenly, Rin saw Sesshomaru behind Naraku.

"Why don't you leave Rin alone Naraku," Sesshomaru stated, rather than asked, "…If you know what's good for you."

Bet you hate us for this cliffhanger (grins evily) oh well. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Sorry if Inuyasha was a bit OOC. But if you watch the anime you can tell that he's always gentle and shows his affection to Kikyou a lot.

Sorry if it was short! But I felt that I had to add a cliffhanger.

Stay tuned for the third installment of "A Tale of Twisted Love"!
