(Story)

"Noooo…waaaaaay!" Kagome stated as she leaned on the lunch table toward Rin. Rin was clenching her notebook with a grin on her face as she nodded her head.

"Yeah! I swear, Sesshomaru was the one who found my book!" Rin said excitedly.

"And he's seriously gonna let you stay after with him today?" Inuyahsa exclaimed with widened, shocked eyes. Rin nodded her head again. Inuyahsa then huffed and crossed his arms.

"He's freakin' brainwashed or somethin'! The Sesshomaru I know is never that nice to anybody!" Inuyahsa said. Kagome then elbowed him a bi tin the side.

"Inuyahsa, this is a big moment for Rin! Don't ruin it!" Kagome scolded. Sango and Miroku just chuckled at the bickering couple. Sango then reached out to Rin and held her hand in excitement.

"Well, from what it sounds like, you'll have no trouble getting into the club with approval from Sesshomaru! I hope things continue to go well for you after school today!" Sango excitedly said.

"Thanks a bunch Sango!" Rin replied.

'Hey Rin, how long after school do you think that you're going to be?" Kagome asked. Rin pondered for a moment before answering.

"You know what…I'm not sure! Sesshomaru didn't say how long I was going to have to stay after with him and the teacher." Rin said.

"All right then, I guess I'll just drive home after school. And when you're finished, send me a text or something." Kagome replied. Rin nodded her head in agreement.

"Before you leave us again Rinny, how 'bout that story that you were going to let me read?" Sango asked slyly. Rin then happily handed over her notebook. She sat patiently through the rest of lunch while Sango read her story.

"Excellent, as always! I loved how your use of detail made me feel like I was right beside the girl in the story. I'm glad you gave her a happy ending Rin!" Sango said as she handed Rin back her notebook.

For the rest of the day, Rin grew so excited for her meeting with Sesshomaru after school that she was constantly tapping her fingers on the desk or twitching her leg. When the bell finally rang for the end of the school day, she immediately left her Honors English 1 class and made her way toward the Main Office. She didn't walk too quickly toward the main office though. She didn't want to be stuck in a crammed hallway while waiting for Sesshomaru. She eventually made it and almost all of the students were clearing the hallway. After a few more moments, Rin felt a giant hand engulf her tiny shoulder. She looked up and saw Sesshomaru gently smiling down at her.

"Ready to go?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Yes!" Rin replied excitedly. She then skipped after Sesshomaru as he led her back to the English Department. Every once in a while, Sesshomaru would take a glance at the happy-go-lucky girl merrily following him. He still didn't know why, but he could never help but smile and chuckle at the girl, making her blush a little bit each time.
