Reflections in Water

Chapter 2

Rule 2: Be Organized and Wear Clothes (at all times)

Next morning

"Rin, Where is my backpack?" Yelled Inuyasha from his room. He received no answer so he stepped out and looked at in the hall way. "Rin, where's my backpack?"

"It's next to the door and Inuyasha" Rin covered her eyes in embarrassment. "Your clothes are on your desk, so please go put them on."

Rin started to walk around the house, her eyes covered and hand outstretched, when she bumped into something. Her eyes still closed tight, she started to feel it with her hands. "Hello? Sesshomaru?"

"Rin, What are you doing?" Inquired Sesshomaru, raisin an eyebrow in question.

"Sesshomaru, Please tell me you found your clothes…" He laughed and shook his head in amusement. "I'm faster and smarter than Inuyasha, and besides. My rooms not a pig pen, so I know where my clothes are."

Rin peeked cautiously through her hand and gave a sigh of relief. "At least you have manners."

"So what wench!" yelled Inuyasha from his room. "I can walk around naked in my own house when I want to!"

Rin giggled and then looked at Sesshomaru, who looked like he was embarrassed to know he had Inuyasha for a brother. "Sesshomaru?"

He broke out of his trance. "Huh?"

"Is it okay if I go shopping after school for new shoes?" She asked hopefully. "These ones barely fit me anymore."

He nodded. "Take someone with you though." He said, then began to walk away but paused. "That ISN'T a shoe fanatic."

Rin smiled wryly. "Can I take Kouga just for fun?" She asked.

"Don't take him; he'll harass me about it later." Muttered Sesshomaru in annoyance. "Take Kagome or someone that won't bother me about it later today."

Rin sighed sadly and walked back to her room. "Well, I guess I might as ask Kagome, even though she'll get dragged away by either Kouga, Inuyasha, or her trio.

Life isn't always fair. Said a little voice in the back of her head, making her sigh as she combed her hair with her favorite hairbrush. "Great, I say anything about this little voice; they'll probably think I've gone mental…Unless they already haven't. Hmm, that's a thought."

"Rin, why do you always take so long?" Snapped Inuyasha angrily, to hide his blush.

Rin giggled. Inuyasha had fallen asleep in the shower and ran outside in towel. He was halfway to school when he realized what had happened and returned home for his clothes. His face was still extremely red.

"Don't blame Rin," said Sesshomaru with a humorous glance. "At least she remembers to wear her clothes."

Inuyasha scowled and looked away as Rin laughed. "Fine…S…Sorry Rin."

"Its alright." Said Rin and he smiled gently.

"So what's you story, you don't usually smile in the mornings." Teased Kagome, jumping down the last few steps of the Higurashi shrine and running behind them until she caught up.

"Feh, wench, that's only when you're around." Growled Inuyasha ruefully. Kagome frowned and was about to tell him off when Kouga leapt down from his front yard, leapt off of Inuyasha's head, and landed in front of Kagome. "Hey Kagome!" he said cheerfully and wrapped his arm around her waist. "How ya doing?"

Kagome smiled nervously. "H-Hey kouga!" she answered. Inuyasha glared at Kouga from the ground. He rose to his feet and was going to say something when he hit the ground again.

"Kouga, Good Morning!" said Ayame brightly, her hair swaying in the wind. Inuyasha groaned underneath her weight.

(AAAAAHHHH! INUYASHA CHARACTERS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY!)

"Ayame, what are you carrying today, a dictionary? Are you wearing cleats!" Yelled Inuyasha, struggling to throw Ayame off of him.

"Sorry Inuyasha, I didn't see you. And Actually, I-"

"Never mind, I don't want to know."

Kagome and Rin covered their mouths, trying not to laugh. Rin went to the back of the group while Kagome, Ayame, Inuyasha, and Kouga had a rather interesting conversation when suddenly…

"ARGH!" Kagome skidded to a stop, making Kouga run into her. They flipped around. Ayame was cracking up and Inuyasha was glaring at Rin while she held up her hands nervously. She'd braided his hair. "What'd you do that for!"

"I thought it'd look nice." Said Rin with guilty grin.

Inuyasha's hanyou twitched in annoyance. "But I didn't ask for it stupid!"

There was a distant bell in the back round. "Oh, we're late." Said Rin, slowly inching away. She grasped Ayame and Kagome's wrists in each of her hands. "Well, I'm sure we'd all love to stay and chat but-"She ran off towards the school, dragging along ayame and kagome. "Bye!"

Kouga and Sesshomaru blinked. Inuyasha trembled with rage. "RIIINNN!"
