The girls walked into school, Rin chattering away about a talent show coming up that she thought they should try out for. "We can do a sing and dance thing." She suggested. "Maybe we could each do one separately and do one together." She said, already thinking of a song she felt strongly about.

The other girls nodded. "Sounds great." They both agreed.

"Talent show?" a voice asked from behind them. They turned around and Miroku and Inuyasha were behind them. Inuyasha looked at Kagome for a long moment. "There's a girl outside that kinds of looks like you. Kikya or something?" he said, not remembering Kikyo's name correctly.

Kagome beamed and hugged him. "You got her name wrong!" she squealed happily, and Inuyasha looked stunned and slightly uncomfortable. "W-well yeah, she was kind of creepy…" he mumbled, and the girls burst into laughter after Kagome let go.

Miroku grinned and took Sango's hand in his own. "Dearest woman, will you do me the honor of being my bed partner?" he asked innocently.

Sango looked horrified for a moment, then angry; she drew back her arm, made a fist and punched him square in the jaw, making him fall on his ass. "Damned pervert!" she yelled, her face turning beet red.

Rin laughed and shook her head. "I'll see you guys later, I'm gonna go study in the library for a bit." She told them, waving goodbye as she walked off to the library. She sighed softly, running her fingers through her hair as she sat at an empty table in the back. "Make a total fool out of myself in front of the greatest fighter in the universe, check. Humiliate myself, check. Fail math test, maybe." She muttered to herself, taking out her binder which had a magazine article of Sesshomaru's last fight. Her binder was filled with the articles and pictures from the fights and tournaments, interviews, everything. She ignored the noise around her as she started studying.

"Is anyone sitting here?" a calm, cool voice asked.

"Nope, go ahead." She muttered, then stiffened and looked up to see Sesshomaru. "Oh...it's you." She murmured, looking back down at her notes.

"Is there a problem with it being me?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Because I thought you were a fan of mine. I have read all the fan mail, I do background checks on many to make sure I won't be stalked, and you are one of few who came up clean. Your letters were actually decent." He murmured, sitting in front of her and fixing his golden eyed gaze on her. "I appreciate that."

She blinked in surprise, choosing her words carefully. "No problem…you confuse me though." She murmured, shaking her head. "I am a fan though, I've seen all your fights and have pictures, articles, newspapers clippings, everything." She said shyly, ducking her head to continue looking at her notes.

He took her binder, ignoring her protests. "Interesting." He murmured, looking through them. "In order, in paper protectors, neat, and not even wrinkled a bit. Very nice." He said approvingly. He slid it back to her. "I have another tournament coming up soon. " he told her.

"I know." She said simply, making a few more notes in her binder for math. "I have the schedule, it's the first thing in the binder." She said, though she knew he would have seen it. "And I'm going to try to go see it, but if I don't pass math, I can't go anywhere." She said, sighing softly.

"Aren't eighteen year olds supposed to be allowed to go wherever, whenever?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm seventeen." She told him, making a few more notes. "Not eighteen years old yet." She said, though she wished that she was.

"I wouldn't have guessed, though you are rather short." Sesshomaru pointed out, making said short girl glare at him.

""I hate to cut this short but I have a test to study for." She growled, standing up and gathering her things, walking away from him.

Sesshomaru was stunned. He was not used to seeing people just simply walk away from him. He regained his composure quickly, going back to calm and collected. "Interesting." He murmured once more. He got up and followed behind her, amused that she went straight outside, sat down beneath the beautiful cherry blossom tree, and started to work on math again. "Hmm…she does what she says." He murmured. He called his manager to make arrangements. "Jaken, do this or you're fired."
