Oh My Gods! 22
Kagome blankly stared at her laptop's screen for what seemed like an eternity. She was supposed to be paying attention in class and taking notes as a good student should, but she just couldn't focus. What prevented her from concentrating on an exiciting subject like Anatomy?
Her birthday.
It was in exactly five days, and truthfully, she couldn't wait to be eighteen. However, turning eighteen meant she was ready to marry Inuyasha...which was the point of him living and going to school with her. She had come to terms with what her mother had kindly 'asked' of her, but still...she was going to get married.
Married.
The others probably didn't know about her birthday, not that she took the time to tell them or anything. Besides, Rin had yet to turn eighteen, too! Though, she had one day mentioned she was most likely one of the youngest in their grade; she had been born in late December. She still had a month to go, but Kagome had five days.
Excitement and apprehension danced through her veins.
The miko also feared the attachment to the word wedded--it happened to rhyme with it, as well.
Wedded and bedded.
Bedded.
She knew her duties as a wife. At some point, she was going to have to complete them. Frankly, however, it was hard to tell if Inuyasha was thinking along the same lines. He was just so...innocent for the lack of a better word.
Kagome never knew young men could be virgins until she met the abrasive yet shy hanyou. Of course, after their little adventure in the kitchen a few weeks ago, he had become a tad bit more brazen, but imagining them sharing the same bed doing anything but peaceful sleeping was extremely difficult.
Perhaps Inuyasha wouldn't demand anything of her. She wasn't ready for sex--not yet. Her mind was prepared for wearing a bridal gown, reciting vows, and accepting a husband, but definitely not what came afterwards. Furthermore, what else best complemented sexual intercourse than the children bound to happen one time or the other?
Kagome wasn't even going to progress to the topic of being pregnant...at eighteen.
No...she was going to wait. She had an attraction to Inuyasha, both physically and emotionally, a connection allowing her to trust and accept him, but she wasn't ready to go all the way and actually give herself to him entirely. And without voicing his thoughts on the matter, she knew he wasn't ready either.
Infact, she would even say he was scared of yielding himself to her or any woman.
Why was unknown to her, however.
Kagome sighed and supported her head with her right hand, staring lazily at her Anatomy teacher scribbling insanely small words on the chalkboard, expecting his class to be able to read and copy them down. What chapter were they on, again? Heck, she didn't even know what they were studying.
It did come as a shock to her, though, when a window suddenly popped up among the white background of her blank word document. After a few moments of processing the chat invitation sent by her fiancé, she clicked on accept and read his message.
'Inuyasha says: Yo, wench, what's up with you? You haven't typed up a single word Oboro-sensei was saying. Keh, are you finally doing what I told you to do?'
She smiled at his concern masked with his usual gruff attitude. He sat right behind her and could tell if she was working assiduously or not. Apparently, he noticed the latter.
'Kagome says: It's nothing, just tired. Get back to work because I'll be copying your notes later.'
'Inuyasha says: Hmph, what am I, your personal note-taking service? I better get paid for this. And hey, you slept like a rock last night so don't lie to me!'
The miko shook her head and her smile broadened. Trust Inuyasha of all people to brighten her mood.
'Kagome says: Is it so wrong for me to want to think? Sheesh, I might as well tell you the kind of underwear I'm wearing. Demon gods always want to know everything...'
She tried so hard to not start laughing because she knew from the growl she heard behind her that he would get defensive about her statement. A cute blush probably adorned his cheeks, too...heheheh!
Come on, she hardly minded that he was for once showing concern for her!
'Inuyasha says: That's it! I'm never going to care about your mental state again! And you can forget about copying my notes! It's not my fault you're bitchy today!'
'Kagome says: Lighten up! I was joking.' The raven-haired teen cast a grin over her shoulder, all the while receiving a heated glare along with an uncanny blush. So he was innocent as well as gullible!
'Inuyasha says: Ha ha, very funny wench. Anyway, remember that date thing we wanted to try three weeks ago? At the dance?'
What date thing...? She took a moment to recall the events of the dance, pushing aside the more devastating ones, and finally remembered her truce with the hanyou. He had suggested dating and she conceded...but they never set up a date...
'Kagome says: Yeah, I remember. What of it?'
'Inuyasha says: You feel like going somewhere tonight?'
"Whoah," the teen couldn't help mumbling, gazinng at her laptop's screen as though she lost her brain to probing aliens. He was asking her out! Again! Inuyasha, the proud, arrogant, defensive, and extremely shy hanyou was asking her on a date!
By instant messaging. How romantic...not.
But she didn't mind because this was her volatile fiancé she was referring to!
'Kagome says: Where to?'
'Inuyasha says: Keh! I ain't tellin' ya! Just say yes or no.'
From where did he get all this information about dates? Yeah, how was he supposed to know it should be a surprise?! He could've given her a hint... And who even told him dates existed?! Sesshoumaru, perhaps? No, he doesn't seem like he cares when it comes to dating.
'Kagome says: Sure, why not? As long as you're paying and I get free food somewhere in there...'
'Inuyasha says: Have I ever told you that you're a gold digger? Damn sneaky wenches...'
'Kagome says: Whatever. Ok, we should stop--Oboro-sensei is walking around to check our notes. Crap, I don't have any!!!'
'Inuyasha says: Calm down wench, I'll send them to ya.'
She breathed a sigh of relief. Having him in her class was actually very handy! Especially when she decided to not pay attention when her Anatomy teacher could be the next future dictator of Japan...
'Kagome says: Thanks, I owe you one.'
'Inuyasha says: All you owe me is ramen at lunch next period.'
'Kagome says: I'm the one who's supposed to be getting free food!'
'Inuyasha says: A deal is a deal, wench. See ya at lunch!'
And he ended their chat, though not before sending her a file of the notes he took on today's boring lesson, which she greedily accepted. Somehow, he took amazing notes...it was like he memorized the lesson...oh well!
Kagome turned her head only to see his smirking face. Inuyasha really expected her to buy him ramen, now did he? I'm not sneaky for just any reason...muahaha!
Seriously, she should be on Japan's most wanted list...
"GRR!! Fine! Do whatever you want, Sesshoumaru!"
The moment Inuyasha and Kagome reached their lunch table was the same one Rin practically fled from it. It was lost on them why she was so frustrated--heck, she was near tears--but they did know that her fiancé aloof as ever. Was it possible for him to dismiss Rin's outburst as a mere tantrum?
Yes, sadly.
"What the hell happened?" Inuyasha asked once he took a seat beside his brother, not even noticing his fiancée taking the unoccupied one to his left.
Over the time the hanyou had spent living in the same apartment as Rin, he had grown fond of her as a big brother would to his little sister. If she was hurt in any way, someone was going to pay! Hmph, it was the least he could do after she consoled him during his altercation with Kagome...
Sesshoumaru refused to answer, however; he instead immersed himself in his plate of beef yakitoki. Fortunately, Sango and Miroku, who were enrolled as first year college students, shared their lunch period and were witnesses to the recent events. They were entertaining additions to their growing circle of friends, since Sango painfully showed Miroku why she took control of their relationship everyday.
The sole thing either of the four friends complained about the new couple was that, as a way to relieve them of their stress for at least a while, Miroku and Sango had neglected to inform anyone of exact details pertaining to their mission.
Well, no one cared at this point.
Sango sighed and sipped her cup of green tea before responding to the hanyou's hasty inquiry in Sesshoumaru's stead. "It all began with...um...a senior high school student, the one wearing the bright yellow headband. I don't know her name."
Inuyasha and Kagome searched for the aforementioned student, and the miko paled when she noticed the mess involved Eri. A few months ago, Eri had been infatuated with Sesshoumaru--she believed her 'feelings' for him had died down! No wonder Rin was pissed!
What has she done now? She could only guess. "Her name is Eri, she's a friend of mine." Not that she talked to her former friends anymore...they should be pissed with her right about now...
"Anyway," Sango nodded, adding the name of the teen in her mind for future reference, "she came over here at the beginning of the period--"
"When Rin wasn't around, mind you," Miroku interrupted, shaking his head at the scandal that had unfolded in front of his very own eyes.
"--and asked Sesshoumaru on a date."
The hanyou and miko blanked, though shifted their eyes to stare at the impassive dog demon ignoring the world around him. "Tell me you said no, bastard..." Inuyasha wasn't surprised that he was ignored. "Fuck! You idiot!"
"Yup, he accepted right when Rin came. Naturally, she flipped and told him to refuse, but Sesshoumaru said, and I quote, 'I don't feel like it'," the dark-haired first year college student sighed. "Now she's upset."
"With good reason!" Kagome exlcaimed, turning to Sesshoumaru. "What the heck were you thinking?! You're engaged to Rin--you're not supposed to be dating anyone else!"
Finally, the silver-haired immortal showed some kind of reaction, but it wasn't one that the furious raven-haired teen had expected, like guilt or remorse. Instead, he narrowed his threatening honey eyes, darkened a shade by his silent ire. His brother instantly recognized the darkening of his eyes as a bad omen...
But Kagome was as stubborn as any dog demon...
"Rin specifically told me to be polite and curteous to you mortals." He spat the word 'mortals' as though poison coated his lips. "She specifically told me to accept whatever they demand of me. Is my accepting Eri's offer of a friendly dinner not included?"
"I'm sure Rin just meant to listen to your proffessors! And what friendly dinner--when it comes to Eri, nothing is as innocent!" Kagome knew what she was talking about! She had been Eri's friend for years; when the girl set her eyes on a guy she liked, she knew exactly how to trap them!
"Besides, you goddamn asshole, you know Rin hates that headband bitch," Inuyasha interjected.
His eyebrows furrowed, however, as he analyzed the situation further. The hanyou felt like there was something else happening that he wasn't being enlightened on... Better yet, Sesshoumaru's true intent on accepting Eri's 'date' was not for a friendly get together.
But what is it then? What the hell will he gain from going out with an annoying bitch like the headband girl? He never even gave her a second glance before. Inuyasha attempted to read his brother's expression, yet it was damn near impossible! His face was carved from ice; no emotion flickered in his viscous honey eyes.
"Do you truly suspect I have a sort of interest in someone like Eri? I told the girl as such, but I decided to grant her wish and dine with her, anyway." Sesshoumaru suddenly stood up with his tray in hand, having finished his lunch and no longer desiring to remain seated among these vexing morons. "Rin would do well to understand that."
"She's your fiancée! She can't help but get angry when the demon she's supposed to marry is parading around with another woman! Tell me, how would you feel if she was dating another guy behind your back? A human guy!" His scoff declared his disgust at the thought.
Yet, what was he thinking?! There was no way the silver-haired demon god deemed he was doing the right thing by going on a stupid date with Eri, the one person who irked Rin beyond belief! Kagome couldn't even begin to comprehend his thought process.
Gods, just who the hell did he think he was?!
Sesshoumaru smirked in response to her incredulousness. It was a cruel smirk, sadistic in every way, revealing his indifference to the pain of others and his ignorance of mercy. "You are completely right, miko."
She blinked, surprised at his sudden concession. "Ok...does this mean you're going to refuse Eri's offer now?" Hope glittered in her chocolate eyes.
"No. You know why?" He paused to let his inquiry sink in. "Rin would not be so upset if she truly trusted me."
And then Sesshoumaru left without another word or even caring about the baffled states of the two couples he left behind at his lunch table. Inuyasha checked his ears to see if he had heard his brother correctly while Kagome banged her head on the table.
"Well, this isn't anything new, right Sango?" Heck, Miroku actually seemed chipper, as though he wasn't affected by Sesshoumaru and Rin's predicament! "Ah, I love a little drama now and then..."
"Can you even classify this as drama? They'll get back together in five minutes," Sango responded, sounding quite sure of herself. She was so confident, she returned to her neglected lunch and contentedly consumed it in three bites. "Mmm, mortal food is good!"
"What the heck, you guys?!" Kagome gaped at her two new friends, who cocked their heads and mumbled a 'what'. "Sesshoumaru is going on a date with Eri because of some trust issue with Rin! Is this information not important to their guardians?"
"Keh! They're both a bunch of idiots, that's what." Inuyasha decided not to waste any more time trying to solve mysterious cases also known as his brother's brain and Rin's uncharacteristic jealousy. "All they need is to get laid."
"Alas you know the answer to all of our worldly problems, my friend!" Miroku grinned and high fived the hanyou from across the table. Kagome and Sango shook their heads at the immature buffoons in pity. "But seriously, Kagome, trust is a key aspect of Sesshoumaru and Rin's relationship. If I were you, I'd be throwing a party because he's finally bringing it up!"
"Very true. After the issue gets settled, those two will never be the same again. I even bet their wedding will be right around the corner..." And it was Sango who winked mischeivously at her boyfriend!
Inuyasha smirked after he finished his hefty bowl of ramen, which had not been the courtesy of Kagome, dammit! "I'll take you up on your bet. Five-hundred yen says they'll be married in June." He fished for the money in his pocket and then slammed it on the pristine white surface of the lunch table.
Miroku placed a hand under his chin in deep thought. "Weeell...normally I would abstain from these kind of activities..."
"Yeah right," Sango snorted, also searching for money to bet in her tote bag. "Ok, I found five-hundred yen! I got dibbs on April--it's Rin's favorite month."
"You people are crazy!" Kagome couldn't believe her friends were actually betting on the wedding date of a couple currently in dire need of solving personal problems! What if they never clarify this trust issue and it scars them for life?!
"Then join us, wench. Gods know you'll fit right in with the crazy people." Inuyasha's vibrant golden amber eyes were permanently fixed on the growing pile of money about to become his in the center of the table...
"No way!"
"Oh, what the heck! I'm betting five-hundred for March 20th." The others stared at Miroku oddly since he actually chose a specific day in a month, and he shrugged. "What? It's Spring Equinox Day..."
Ahem. Right.
Everyone shifted their attention to the sole person who had yet to call for any bets. Kagome glowered at them for amounting peer pressure on her, but she sighed and caved in anyway. "Alright, alright! I'll bet five-hundred yen for May. Happy now?"
Her excited fiancé nodded. "Yup, 'cause all that cash is gonna buy me a shit-load of ramen."
"Dream on, dog boy. I need a new pair of boots."
"--and then I was like, that's totally unfair! I mean, come on, I only had a day to write the script! Of course it's gonna suck! I definitely had reason to be pissed off, right?"
"Mhm."
"And then Ayumi had the nerve to schedule her chorus concert on the same day of my play! People are gonna choose music over drama! Well, maybe except the girls, right?"
"Hn."
"So, Yuka has been acting weird lately, and I personally don't know why. Who knows if she's planning to go to Ayumi's concert instead of my play? Geez, talk about best friends. I thought Kagome was my friend but she hangs out with your brother now. Oh well!"
"..."
"Hey, are you gonna finish your steak? It looks really good..."
"Hmph."
"Can I have it?"
"...hn."
"Yay! Thank you sooo much, Sesshy-kun!"
"...?"
Sesshoumaru stared at Eri as she happily munched on his left over steak--yeah, he actually didn't feel like eating his favorite human food--and had to wonder why he was here. What had possessed him to accept this friendly dinner and endure endless torture?
Grr!
She talked so much nonsense! Her brain must be the size of a dust particle... No, even smaller! All she thought about were boys, her stupid play, and a bunch of gossip having no importance to him!
Obviously, she also failed to note that he had ceased speaking to her obnoxious self the moment their 'date' commenced...
The dog demon sighed and sipped his glass of water, absentmindedly glancing around the small local resturaunt Eri had led him to. His golden honey eyes looked for one specific person admist the people around him...but found no one. He was hoping for the impossible, he supposed.
Then again, he shouldn't be disappointed.
As Eri voiced her satisfaction with his steak, Sesshoumru's mind drifted to how he became involved in this predicament in the first place. He recalled his motive for his current actions...the experiment he was carrying out in order to test his theory.
Rin didn't trust him.
Of course, she heatedly denied his suspicions, but she could hide nothing from him. Sure, the beginning of their engagement had been a bit turbulent, yet it was proceeding quite nicely now. Though, before they recited their vows, he first needed to bury the past.
Working together in the fight against Meimori had enlightened him. He was now able to view Rin in a new light--one of a determined, strong-willed woman bravely fighting by his side. He imagined her going to high lengths to protect what was hers, even if it took her life; hell, he imagined them ruling the Western Lands together.
The silver-haired immortal couldn't deny the thought of Rin being his equal on whole new levels was very appealing...
Furthermore, she belonged to him now and he wasn't about to let go. For her sake, he had performed a Shurikan, had given her his gift--his own life energy. It wasn't a matter easily disregarded and it definitely wasn't something of no importance to him.
He hadn't told her this, yet she was technically his mate in all but body.
They shared a newly arisen bond that he felt every single day of his life; it was known as a bond of mates. He was certain Inuyasha was aware of the bond he had involuntarily established with his miko--it was the only way she could have ever sensed him in danger a few months prior.
Originally, the thought of marrying a human mortal, especially mating one, appalled him. When Rin was first attacked by Meimori and lost a lot of blood, Inuyasha nearly suggested mating her--it would have prevented her from dying.
Though, the silver-haired immortal had been quick to refuse.
Humans were worthless creatures who submitted facily to the demands of others. Most of them did not regard themselves highly enough to defend them and theirs. Why would he waste his time with a feeble mortal who was not able to handle matters as his queen if he were ever impaired?
Sesshoumaru detested that common quality in human mortals.
But then he met Rin, the one human who would have given her life had it meant saving his.
She was a threat to his beliefs--no doubt about it. Yet, he wasn't about to let her slip by--she was going to be his despite his alleged hatred for humans. Before finalizing things between them, however, Sesshoumaru wished to see if she trusted him. If she did, then life with her would be ok.
He had no desire to live knowing his mate believed he cherished another woman.
Specifically a demoness.
If Rin truly trusted him--his actions and words--then she would know he belonged only to her, and no one else could even dream of taking him away from her.
Ever.
Sesshoumaru had shared his beliefs with her...had tried to make her listen...yet...
...Flashback...
"Let go of me!"
"Not until you listen to me."
Rin glared at him defiantly, inwardly cursing his stubborn streak, and wretched her wrist free from his grasp. But she stayed firmly in place, crossing her arms and waiting for him to speak. He would be lying if he said he didn't want to kiss her right now...
"Fine, dammit! What? What do you have to say to me that would justify you going out with Eri?" She pat the words and especially drawled the headband girl's name as though she was referring to the devil himself.
Sesshoumaru was not intimidated by her anger, however. "It's only a friendly dinner, Rin. I have no interest in her whatsoever."
"I know you don't, but I still don't like her."
"Why?"
"Because she's a mindless idiot!" Rin yelled, taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the apartment listening to their argument. "She gawks at you like you're some divine creature from heaven! How do you feel when Meimori flirts with me, huh?"
"At least I make my dislike known to him."
"Oh, so you want me to stand up to Eri? You want me to tell her how she shouldn't be taking my fiancé on pointless dates?"
"Is it asking for too much?" Sesshoumaru stared down at the human teen, challenging her, waiting for her to accept his bait. "We wouldn't be having this argument if you trusted me in the first place."
"I do trust you, for goodness sake!" Rin was growing exasperated with this fool! "Stop repeating the same thing over and over again! If I didn't trust you, Sesshoumaru, I wouldn't have given my life to you!"
"What are you? My slave?" He smirked in spite. "Would you rather be my slave than my wife? How ambitious of you."
"Shut up! You know damn well that the day we get married is the day we get divorced!"
"And why should that be?"
"You're the one who's been saying it since day one!"
"But now I'm telling you to disregard the past and you refuse to acknowledge my words." The dog demon shook his head in pity, igniting Rin's ire once more. "I do not understand what it is you want from me."
"I want you as a whole," she replied, seeming all of a sudden weak and powerless. Her tone of voice admitted her defeat in aspiring to be something more than his ticket to the throne.
He hated her human weakness. "You want me, yet you are not willing to fight for me. You fight along side of me, you share my enemies, you cry for me, you kiss me--but you fail at fighting for me when it involves another woman."
"I fought Kagura, didn't I?" Rin huffed, rolling her cinnamon eyes. "She was pretty gaga over you, not that you cared to tell her to fuck off." Oh, she was already resorting to cuss words.
Very amusing.
"Yet you won," Sesshoumaru's pride of her victory was apparent as he spoke, "but you are not finished. Once a battle is over, a new one commences--with yourself."
"I don't need to listen to this and I especially don't need you, if that's what you're alluding to."
Rin turned to leave, but gasped when he hauled her back and slammed her against the wall. It wasn't enough to hurt her, though it did grab her attention, and her wide cinnamon eyes were forced to gaze into his smoldering honey irises. He entire body was tense with fury--he was serious about this.
Hell, she was pinned to the wall with no escape! Apparently, he wanted to ingrain his beliefs into her brain.
"Listen and listen carefully for I will only say this once." Sesshouamru struggled to keep the growl out of his voice, and Rin swore his eyes flashed red once or twice. "I am not so vain that I will leave you for a demoness like Kagura the second you turn your head."
"And that means what to me?"
"Damn you and your insolence!" He viciously swore and leaned his head in close to emphasize his point. "How the hell do you still think I will only use you to attain my throne after I performed a Shurikan?!"
"News flash, Sesshy-kun--you're the one who said it in the first place. I'm just following your orders."
"I gave you my gift, Rin! The highest honor a mortal can receive from an immortal!" His outburst shocked the cinnamon-eyed teen into submission. "I gave you half of my life energy! My goddamn life! Do you think that means nothing to me?!"
"It was out of duty. What kind of person would you be if you left your fiancée to die by the hands of your ex-lover? Besides, how will you get your throne with me dead?" Rin was skeptical of his words, and it angered her fiancé.
"I chose to do it for you! I chose to, dammit! I would have left you to die had I truly no care in the world--and I would have gotten my throne because it is my birthright regardless of my father's wishes! If I still desired Kagura, I would have let her kill you, but I didn't. Why? Because you belong to me as much as I belong to you."
Rin smirked and shook her head. "Ha! You expect me to believe that? I suppose you also had an epiphany and thought this through, huh? I don't know what you're trying to gain, Sesshoumaru, but forget it. Hurry now, or you'll be late for your date."
"This is what I'm saying--you don't trust me. Here I am swearing my fealty to you and you brush me off like a pesky fly." And he knew how annoying those shits were. "Yet, I am willing to forget this feud if you prove me wrong and assert just how much you despise Eri. Relieve me of my torture and I will surely follow you."
"What the hell--is this some kind of game to you?!" Rin pushed away from him with all her might and succeeded in securing an escape route. She moved as far from her fiancé as she could in order to avoid being pinned again. "I don't know what you want from me, but like hell I'm gonna go along with it! Do you think I'm an idiot?!"
"I am not--"
"You're going on a fucking date with the headband girl so that you can prove a stupid point! Well, go ahead! Prove how much I don't trust you! I. Don't. CARE!!!"
...End Flashback...
Sesshoumaru sighed. Afterwards, Rin locked herself in their room and had not shown herself since. He had no choice but leave her be. His attempts to reason with her probably ended in her loathing him--it was far from what he wished.
"Hey, you guys! Mind if I join you? I swear I won't be staying long."
His body completely froze. A sweet scent infiltrated his nostrils and was processed by his brain as being vanilla and lilies--it was familiar. The owner of the tantalizing scent had an equally compelling voice that was currently sugar-coated in false civility, a voice he knew to hold a secret talent for singing.
He then instantly recognized this woman.
Rin.
Sesshoumaru glanced up from his glass of water and was met with a rather mischievous smile belonging to only one person: his fiancée. He stared at her in disbelief for what seemed like ages. What were the chances of hallucinating after eating steak?
Perhaps it had been drugged, because there was no way Rin could be the one standing before him right now... Not after she adamantly refused to see his point of view.
I must be going insane. He might as well fall into a coma right about now since he wasn't breathing properly...
Eri blinked in confusion and cocked her head at the newcomer. Why Osaka Rin was here, she had no clue. "Well...we're currently on a date, so..." Did it look like she wanted an intruder?
"Oh, forgive me for interrupting!" Rin seemed courteous and genuinely sorry for her mistake. Sesshoumaru marvelled at her acting skills. "But you see, I'm just here to pick up my fiancé."
"Fiancé? Where is he?" Eri asked. Of course, she only wanted to know in order to gossip about it later.
She cannot be so dense. Humans must all be talented actors. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at the terribly baffled and curious mortal sitting across from him. Or better yet, Eri is the special one who has a disease called moronitis. Doctors, beware.
"He's right in front of you. Eri, meet Maebashi Sesshoumaru, my fiancé." The accent on 'my' was very conspicuous. If she still ignored the possessive note after tonight, then Eri needed mental help.
Seriously.
Eri was severely confused, and rather incredulous. She looked towards the taciturn dog demon, who only nodded in agreement with Rin. "Ok...so why are you here again, Osaka?"
Rin's surgary smile didn't falter even though Sesshoumaru felt like swiping the headband girl's head off and calling it a day. Geez, what was wrong with her?! "Let me tell you a short story."
"Suuure..."
"There once was a girl named Rin who had a fiancé named Sesshoumaru. One day, another girl named Eri asked Sesshoumaru on a date, and he only accepted because he wanted to prove a point to Rin." She took the chance to glare at him, and he shrugged.
"These characters seem similar to us..." Eri responded. So she was finally taking note, huh? Not quite.
"Yes, Eri, because they are us." The girl wearing a bright yellow headband gulped at Rin's terrifyingly patient tone of voice. "Anyway, then Rin came to get her fiancé back from Eri. But Eri was too stupid and didn't want to understand that he belonged to her. So Rin did the only thing she could do."
The obsidian-haired teen, with an ever present smile on her attractive face, grabbed a nearby glass half-full with coca cola, and poured it onto Eri's lap. Her mahogany brown eyes widened drastically, but she was in too much shock to move a single muscle.
Sesshoumaru was now smirking in victory... Yes, this meant she trusted him!
Though, she wasn't even done yet.
"Oh, but Eri deserved much more than a cold soda and ice bath, or so Rin thought. She couldn't help it when a plate of food slipped from her hands--Eri just never knew when to back off from Rin's property." The teen then sighed in pity and dumped a plate of steak, rice, and vegetables ontop of Eri's head.
"Eri was panicking now, but she needed to be taught a lesson: Rin is a psychotic maniac. Stay away from Sesshoumaru or Rin will make life a living hell. The end!" To top her story off, Rin was even so kind as to take a small plate of ice cream and smear it on Eri's face. "Wow, Eri, did you get a new look or something? It's fabulous!"
"You...y-you...YOU BIIITCH!!!"
"Nah uh! I'm specialbecause I'm Sesshoumaru's psychotic bitch." Rin shot the disgruntled teen a smug smirk and faced her fiancé, whose victorious expression related to hers. "Let's go, Fluffy-kun! We have to get to our own date with a cheap romance movie and a sofa!"
Damn. He might as well stay with the headband girl. "I can't wait..." Yet, he wouldn't even attempt refusing a dangerous mortal like Rin.
Not one person in the local resturaunt made a move to stop Rin and Sesshoumaru from leaving, though everyone did clap at Rin's presentation. One teen, Emiko, even commented, "Damn, I wish I had done that when Masao cheated on me... I guess Eri can't gossip about me now, but I'll definitely take over for her!"
Poor Eri.
Not.
A/N: END!
