(A/N: I never mentioned before but everyone appears human but those who are demons are. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have their usually sliver hair and gold eyes but they look human in general.)

It was the week after Inuyasha's birthday party and Rin still hasn't seen Sesshomaru again. Rin leaned from Kagome a few days ago that Sesshomaru was the most popular guy at Shikon High, especially with the girls. She was curious as to why she never saw him around school but decided to brush off thoughts about him.

'Another Monday morning. Great.' Rin thought getting out of bed and turning off her alarm clock.

Rin jumped into the shower and got ready for another school day. When was done she grabbed her bag, said bye to her mom and left the house. Rin was more than tired this morning due to the fact she stayed up late watching a marathon of her new favorite show, even though her mom tolled her not to. As she was walking she accidentally ran into someone and fell backwards.

"Oh I am sooo sorry. I wasn't paying attention" Rin said apologetically to the man she ran into.

"You should watch where you are going girlie." Said a deep, angry voice.

Rin looked up to see a man with jet black hair and deep purple eyes. Along with him there were a few other guys and they didn't look to friendly.

"Maybe you should teach her a lesson in paying attention while walking." Said one of the guys in the group.

The others started laughing and Rin knew she had to get out of there, and fast. Just as Rin was about to turn and leave the man she bumped into too took hold of her arm.

"Where you going so fast girlie" The man said in a sinister voice.

"Let me go" Rin said trying to get loose from the man's grasp.

" And what if I don't?" He said in that same sinister voice.

"Then you will deal with me." Said a voice not belonging to one of group's guys.

'Sesshomaru' Rin thought as she turned around and saw him standing there.

"Let her go Naraku ." Sesshomaru said in a threatening tone.

"Well if it isn't Sesshomaru, coming to save the day have you?" Naraku said not loosening his grip on Rin.

"I said let her go." Sesshomaru said getting even more irritated with Naraku.

"Hmph. We were just having a little bit of fun with her." Naraku said as he pushed Rin away.

Once Naraku let go of Rin she went over to Sesshomaru's side as quickly as she could.

" If I were you and I'm glad I'm not, I would leave." Sesshomaru said to the group in general giving them a death glare.

"Whatever." Was all Naraku said as he and his gang left.

Rin looked up at Sesshomaru then and noticed him leaving as well.

"Wait!" Rin called to him trying to catch up

Sesshomaru didn't even glance her way as she came up and started walking beside him.

"Hey, um thanks for helping me Sesshomaru I really appreciated it ." Rin said to him smiling.

"Hn" Was Sesshomaru's only reply to her.

"Your new to town, right?" Sesshomaru asked a few moments later and stopping to face her.

"Um, Yeah." She said looking down to avoid his gaze.

"Then you should know that Naraku isn't someone you want to be hanging around with. He's nothing but trouble and you'll probably get hurt being around him." Sesshomaru said to her.

"Yah, I'll remember that." Rin replied.

With that Sesshomaru began walking to school again with Rin walking beside him.

"Hey, so why did you help me out? I mean you barley know me." Rin asked curious.

"I simply do not like Naraku. He's nothing but a coward." Sesshomaru replied.

"Oh" Rin said to mostly herself.

"So how old are you? What grade are you in? Are you in any clubs?" Rin asked him hoping to start a conversation and get to know him better.

Sesshomaru looked at her curiously wondering why she was asking these questions but answered them for her.

" I'm seventeen, a junior and no right now I'm not in any clubs." He answered.

" Oh, well I'm 15 and a freshmen. I just moved here from America cause my mom's a history professor." Rin said .

Sesshomaru didn't reply to her and they walked together in silence for a few more minutes, until she decided to ask more about him.

"So do you have any favorite sorts?" She asked him

"No, Not really" He replied

"What kind of career do you plan to have?"

"I was planning on taking over my father's company after collage. Might I ask why you are asking so many questions about me?" Sesshomaru asked as he stopped walking facing her with a brow raised.

" Oh, I .. I was curious that's all. I can stop if you want me to. My friends back home say I talk to much sometimes." Rin said looking sheepishly to the ground, a blush rising to her cheeks.

Sesshomaru didn't miss the blush rising to her cheeks. Seeing her embarrassed, he couldn't help but give a very small smile, which she didn't notice since she was looking at her feet.

"No, I don't mind much." He said continuing their walk to school.

For the next few minutes as they walked they talked a little more about themselves until they reached the school halls.

Just as Sesshomaru was beginning to walk to his first period, Rin called to him.

" Hey will I be able to see you again?" Rin asked hoping she will.

" Perhaps" Was all Sesshomaru said as he turned around and headed to first period.

With a smile Rin decided to head to her first period as well.

Sesshomaru turned around once more to watch Rin disappear through the school halls.

'I do believe we will meet again. Rin.' He thought as he made his way through the halls.

The day was long and boring and Rin had a math test tomorrow she would have to study for later. On her way back home Rin talked and walked with Kagome until they had to go their separate ways. Once Rin had made it home she went to her room and plopped down onto her bed with the book she was reading. A few minutes later she got a call from Crystal.

"Hello." Rin answered.

"Rinnn! Hi! Why haven't I heard from you in a while? You didn't forget us did you?" Crystal said glad to hear from Rin again.

"No I haven't forgotten about you guys, well not yet at least. Na I've been busy with school work." Rin said happy to be able to talk to her long time friend again.

"Soooo, What's been up with you. How's school so far? Have you made some new friends yet?" Crystal asked excitedly.

"School is fine, ya know, I mean schools school no matter what country your in. And yes I did make some new friends, actually their Kagome's friends but I'm pretty much part of the group now." Rin replied

"I'm happy for you Rinny I hope things continue to go well for you." Crystal said happily.

"Thanks, so how about you guys, anything new." Rin asked curious of her friends' lives.

"Actually yes, Joy met this cute guy in her band class and she is going out with him Friday night." Crystal replied.

"That's awesome, tell Joy I'm happy for her." Rin said happily

"Will do. ….. Sooooo" Crystal asked

"Soooo what" Rin asked wanting to know what she meant.

"Sooo have you met a guy yet?" Crystal asked eagerly.

Rin thought for a moment then remembered Sesshomaru and how he helped her today. Rin blushed a little as the thought came to her.

"Well, not really." Rin replied.

"Not really. Alright spill, your holding out on something." Crystal said determined to know what happened.

"Well I kind of meant this a guy at a party and he helped me out when I got into some trouble earlier today." Rin said unsure of what to say. It's not like she liked Sesshomaru or anything but..

"Trouble? What happened" Crystal asked worriedly.

Rin told Crystal everything that happened on her way to school, about Sesshomaru and Naraku.

"Well I'm glad your alright. Good thing he appeared when he did. Hey who knows this could be your dream guy. I can't wait till I tell Joy tomorrow morning." Joy said laughing a bit.

"Crystal, your such a gossip." Rin said laughing.

"Alright well I got to go, I talk to you later." Crystal said.

"K, bye." Rin replied

"Bye bye" and with that Crystal and Rin hung up.

After Rin hung she decided she should study before dinner. And before she went to bed that night she looked up at the moon from her window and hoped that she will get to see Sesshomaru again since she was still so curious about him.
