Hello! I'm back after a really long time... anyways, there's stuff to do, bands to see... eh heh, I don't really have an excuse, I'm just lazy. :( But anyways, now, I am MAKING time, and I noticed my writing is like really rushed, so I seriously have to work on that. My humble-est apologies. Cookies and cheesecake to all of my readers. thank you for bearing with me.

I don't own Inuyasha, if I did, Naraku wold have died after the first few times. GRRRRRR!

The next few periods passed by quickly enough, Rin making light conversation, and me, to my own surprise was actually responding. Before I knew it, lunch had come, and I was about to be pestered by my brother and his annoying friends. At least Rin was here today, that fact alone lifted my spirits.

Wait, why should that fact lift my spirits? It shouldn't! I squished down the happy feeling before it could grow. Damn it! What the hell is wrong with me lately?

"Sesshomaru!" Rin's heavenly voice called out for me from down the hall, as she hurried, slipping easily through the crowd. Her black skirt was short, but not so much it was indecent, with an orange halter top and black ankle boots with three inch heels. Black hair hung around her in gentle waves, falling freely to her waist, and paired with her too innocent, doe-like brown eyes, It was hard to believe she could be dangerous.

"Rin. Are you all set?" We had split up to go to our lockers, but had agreed to meet up in front of the cafeteria.

"Yup! They have a salad bar here, right?" Rin inquired as we entered the cafeteria and got in line.

"Yes, why?"

"Well, I can converse with some animals, so it's kind wierd to eat things you can talk to, like cows and pigs... though I guess it's the same with plants, huh? Ah well. I like salads better anyways."

"You don't eat meat?" I was shocked. I've heard of vegitarians, and knew there were some of them at the school, but I didn't know any personally. I, as a dog demon, couldn't imagine a life without meat... Ugh, it was just horrible!

"Oh, I do, but only serpent."

"Like, snakes?" Okay, that was wierder...

"No, like sea serpents. They multiply like crazy and grow like crazy too, so we normally eat them. They aren't animals, per se, so us wood elves, don't have to worry. The meat tastes just like pork, or maybe beef, so I've heard. Depending on how you cook it, it can be a steak or a hamburger." RIn gave me one of her wide toothy smiles, that I loved to see. Wait, what? I don't love anything, damn it!

"Hmm." In the end Rin got a huge salad, and I got a burger... okay two, so sue me, I'm a dog demon!

"Oy, Sesshomaru, do you finally have a girlfriend?" My eye twitched as I sat down across from my obnoxious brother, Rin right behind me.

"Inuyasha. It seems you haven't found your brain yet. Joy."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, then looked to Rin. "Hey there, I'm Inuyasha. This here is Kagome. Miroku and Sango are over there, the idiot wolf sitting here is Kouga, and his mate, Ayame. Shippo and Kohaku should be coming soon, and that just about sums up the gang. Now tell me, what are you doing hanging around my brother?"

"Oh, I just transfered here, and he's showing me around."

"What for? Isn't that what the welcoming committee is here for?"

"Inuyasha, believe it or not, I have been assigned to be Rin's guide, now leave it be."

Rin nodded. "Yup! He's been very nice!"

"Sesshomaru? Nice? Ha!" Inuyasha laughed loudly, before Kagome hit him over the back of the head to shut him up.

"I don't see what your problem is! You two can't spend five minutes around each other, or there's a danger of a fight!" Kagome sighed. "Dog demons. What can you do with them?"

Rin laughed then smiled at Kagome. "You can always death glare them into submission. That's what mom does when dealing with people in general. It's pretty effective!"

Kagome laughed and the two got into a conversation. I couldn't help but smile as Rin slipped right into the group, laughing and chatting like she'd been here from day one. Yeah, lunch was definately better with Rin around.

So, what do ya think? I know, I know, short, but I felt like I needed to introduce the gang, no matter how short it might be. Besides, it's getting late, and I need to get up early tommorow to straighten my hair(damn curls), and I really want to update this today, so! Fear not, the next chapter shall be up within a few days, and on it will be the response to reviews! So review now, and you'll be included in the response! :D
