(Author's Notes)

Hello again everybody! So, here's the dish-in-the-dirt: my laptop was an old one my Mom had before. She's a teacher so she was on it constantly before she gave it to me. Finally, one day, something got fried in my computer and the screen completely blackout out on me! Power was on and everything it was just…the SCREEN! Anyway, I just decided that I would get a new computer rather than spend the money to get this one fixed. But, when you're a teenager worried about gas and school supplies for your upcoming first year of college, it's kinda hard to save up money for a reeeeaaaallty good laptop! But, I DID IT! I got a brand-spanking new laptop and I am ready to roll again! By the way, only 10 more days and then I'm a freshman in COLLEGE! YAAAY! XD 10 days to catch up on my work! ^/^

Anyway, time to rock-n-roll

(Story)

"This is so exciting! I've never been surrounded by so many wonderful dresses!" Rin exclaimed in excitement as she and Kagome walked through the store together.

"Oh Rin, you're gonna love it! I remember how excited I was when Mom took me dress shopping for my first Homecoming Dress! Oh God I feel so old just thinking about it!" Kagome exclaimed. Rin just giggled a bit as she glanced over at some of the dresses.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better Kagome, you look really good for your age!" Rin playfully replied. Kagome then turned to a nearby mirror and showed off a flirtatious pose.

"Yes I do, don't I?" Kagome replied as both of the girls giggled. Kagome then turned to Rin.

"So, is it safe to say that you and Kohaku are officially done?" Kagome asked.

"Yes! I'm done with that jerk!" Rin replied.

"I'm glad that you made a good decision for yourself. But I have to say, you're taking your first break up really well!" Kagome explained. Rin gave an embarrassing chuckle after hearing Kagome say that.

"Oh no, I already took care of the tearful and messy part of to all." Rin replied.

"Really? When? You certainly weren't shutting yourself in your room." Kagome replied with a sense of curiosity in her voice.

"Well actually, I-I had that yesterday afterschool." Rin murmured.

"Wait, when you were in your writing lesson with Sesshomaru? You didn't cry in front of him, did you?" Kagome sternly asked. Rin just turned away with a blush as she distracted herself with more dresses. Kagome heaved a small gasp as she pieced together Rin's reaction.

"Oh my God, you did! Did he do anything? Say anything?" Kagome asked. Rin kept her face turned away to hide her blush.

"…He hugged me."

"He what?"

"He hugged me…and told me not to worry about this mess." Rin replied to Kagome.

"Oh…God! Sesshomaru did that!" Kagome said in disbelief.

"You know Kagome, I don't why everybody thinks that he's so cold and heartless! He's sweet and gentle! He's nothing like his reputation!" Rin exclaimed to Kagome. Rin then widened her eyes and covered her mouth as she realized what she just said. At first Kagome was in shock and what her sister just said. But then that face disappeared as it turned into a sly smile. Rin quickly walked away as Kagome followed her.

"Rin…I think you like Sesshomaru, don't you?" Kagome playfully replied. Too shy to say anything, Rin just continued to walk away to inspect more dresses with Kagome following close behind her.

"Rin, tell me, do you really have a crush on the 'Prince'?" Kagome asked with a smile. Rin paused for a moment before she gave away a small smile.

"Ha ha! You do! I can see the expression on your face Rin!" Kagome playfully exclaimed.

"Kagome please stop embarrassing me! I came here to buy a dress, not be bombarded with questions about a guy right after my first break-up!" Rin said while laughing. Kagome just smiled and nodded her head in understanding.

"Ok ok, no more boy questions for today. Besides, it I keep on making you blush like that, I'll have trouble finding a good dress to go with your great ivory tone while there's red in the way!" Kagome giggled along with her sister.

"Ah yes, a dress to help me celebrate an American Tradition now here in Japan!" Rin exclaimed as she pulled out her homecoming ticket.

Yes…a tradition that we took from America and made it our own…I wonder what it would be like to actually go there, and travel.

Rin then shook her head and focused her thoughts back at the task at hand.

"Ok, well the theme for this year is 'Moonlit Serenade'…hmm." Rin thought for a moment.

"Any thoughts on what you want?" Kagome asked.

"Well, how about I wear something that's blue to represent the night?" Rin thought aloud. Kagome rolled her eyes up in thought for a few moments.

"I think…I saw something earlier that would be perfect for you! Come on!" Kagome said as she grabbed her sister's arms and led her through the store, giggling as the two sisters forger about they're troubles.
