In this chappie, I skipped way ahead because; I have to do a lot of catching up with the relationships between seven people. I'm also catching up on two events that I've mentioned in an earlier chapter or chapters. Oh yeah, sorry for the long, long, long wait for this chappie.

Chapter 17

Prom Night

In the Gym

Rin and Sesshomaru are dancing to a slow song. The chaperones are walking around every five minutes to make sure everyone (the students) is behaving themselves. Rin looked to her left and saw Kohaku dancing with a girl. They looked happy dancing together. "They make such a cute couple. I'm happy that I told him that we could see other people, and that we could take whoever we want to the prom." She thought.

"Rin are you okay?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm okay." She said as she looked at him. "Why do you ask?"

"You keep looking over there to your left. It's like you're keeping an eye on your ex."

"Oh it's just that he and his date make such a cute couple and they look so happy together."

"How can you tell just by them dancing?"

"I don't know. It's like a sixth sense of mine you know. It's hard for me to explain it though, but it's like something I can sense. Are you mad?"

"No. I understand your reason."

"Mmm…that's good." And then she laid her head down on his shoulder.

"You know what Rin?"

"What?"

"You look really stunning and beautiful in that white strapless dress."

She blushed as she looked around with her eyes trying not to smile. "Thank you," She said as she lifted her head off his shoulder slowly to look at him. "And do you know what Sesshomaru?"

"What?" He said as he looked down at her and looked into her big beautiful brown eyes.

"You look mighty handsome and stunning in your white tux." She said as she blushed again. Then she put her head back down on his shoulder. "You know I hate this strapless dress because, it feels like I'm naked and that it's going to fall down any moment now. I wish there was some kind of strap on this dress, put hey, I like trying something new on special occasions."

"Don't worry this prom will be over soon and that dress will be off you before you know it." He said looking down at her. She looked up at him and looked into his big beautiful black eyes.

He has such beautiful eyes." Rin thought. Then she felt Sesshomaru's left hand trail down her back towards her ass and grabbed it. Her eyes were a little big as she jumped in surprise. Then they started French kissing while Sesshomaru was squeezing Rin's ass gently, but soft.

Five Days Later

Graduation Day

Outside on the Track Field

Rin was so nervous sitting there waiting for her name to be called. She looked at everybody sitting around and everybody on the stage. Her hands were shaking a little so she opened and closed them (like in a fist) for a few seconds, and then she clamped them together like she got through clapping. Then her heart started beating fast as she thought, "Man I can't believe that I graduated and that I'm about to get my diploma." Then she felt the girl sitting beside her on her right, nudge her a little with her elbow. She looked at the girl and said, "What?"

"He's calling your name." She said leaning to her left a little and with her head still facing in front of her, and she looked at Rin with her eyes.

"Rin Higurashi." Mr. Kitada said.

"Oh, my bad." She thought as she got up fast. As she was walking towards the stage, it's like her heart is beating in her throat and ears, and her hands are no longer shaking. She started breathing through her nose hard, but low, so that her voice wouldn't be shaky if she had to say something to Mr. Kitada. When she got to Mr. Kitada, he has her diploma in his right hand and he held out his left hand.

"What do you plan on doing after high school?" He asked Rin as he shook her hand and gave her, her diploma.

She sucks in some air a little through her nose and said, "Going to college so that I can be a veterinarian."

"That's good and I wish you luck with that." He said as he got through shaking hands with Rin. He smiled at Rin and she smiled back. As she headed back to her seat, the beat of her heart started to an ease and her nerviness stopped. She made her way to her seat and sat down. She started looking at her diploma all over. It's a white paper rolled up and tied with a gold ribbon. She's so caught up in her thinking that she zoomed in and out of the other kids' names being called by Mr. Kitada.

Meanwhile on the Bleachers

"Awww, baby look at our daughters. They're so cute in their blue and gold gowns. They're so smart that they were in the same grade and graduated together." Mrs. Higurashi said to her husband as she looked at her daughters.

"Yes honey I know that, and who knew that Rin would be that smart and be put in the same grade as her older sisters.

"Are you catching everything on that thing?" She said as she looked at her husband with a quick glance from the corner of her eyes.

"Yes I am and more. It's a good thing I bought this kind of cam corder. It let me zoom in on things and more. It's like I'm making a movie."

"Yes, yes I know and make sure you get our daughters." She said as she looked at her husband.

"Don't worry I'm way ahead of you."

"Good and keep it that way."

"Excuse me miss, but how many daughters do you have graduation." An unknown female voice said coming from Mrs. Higurashi's left.

Mrs. Higurashi looked at the lady and said, "I have three and you?"

"I have a son and what are your daughters' names?"

"Sango, Kagome, and Rin. And yours?"

"Sesshomaru and my good friend here sitting here beside me to my left have two sons graduating and their names are: Miroku and Inuyasha."

"Yes I know because she's a good friend of mine as well." Mrs. Higurashi said with a smile on her face.

"Oh I didn't know."

"Same here and you know what? My daughter Rin is dating a young fellow by the name of your son."

"What? Really? My son is as well. Well..."

"Don't worry I know what you mean." Mrs. Higurashi said as she put her hand on the lady's arm while interrupting her.

"Shhh...be quit ladies. Ya'll are starting to talk over the cam corder and I can't here." Mr. Higurashi said. His wife and the other lady looked at him when he said that and then looked back at one another after he got through.

"We'll talk later." Mrs. Higurashi whispered to the other lady and she nod her head as she smiled at her, and Mrs. Higurashi did the same. Then she looked at her husband and whispered, "Happy now."

"Yes I am."

Meanwhile...

Back To Rin

When Mr. Kitada got through calling the other kids names and was seated, he looked at all of them and all of the people on the bleachers as he said with a loud voice, "Everybody, this is the class of '07." Then all of the kids stood up, as they threw their caps in the air and cheered.

After the Graduation Ceremony

Rin was on her way to find Sesshomaru, when she had spotted Kohaku. She decided to go and congratulate him since she spotted him. She took a few steps forward and then stopped. She inhaled deeply but slowly. "Oh man Sesshomaru." She thought as she licked her lips and looked to her right, and then back in front of her with her eyes. "Damn why did he have to be there? He just should've kept his back facing me." She mouthed. Then she smiled as she waved at Sesshomaru and Kohaku. They saw her and motioned her with their right hands for her to come to where they are. "Shoot man they want me to come to where they are." She thought. She started walking fast towards their direction. When she got to where they are, she said, "Hi guys."

"Hi." They said in unison.

"What are you guys plan on doing after graduation?" Rin asked as she looked to and from Shippo and Sesshomaru.

"I don't know about Kohaku, but I'm having a graduation after party at my house with my family." He said as he took a quick glance at Kohaku before looking at Rin with his eyes.

"Well I'm doing the same thing, but it's going to be with family and friends at my favorite restaurant."

"Cool and I'm doing the same thing as Sesshomaru."

"We all have something planned after graduation." Kohaku said as he nodding his head while looking at Sesshomaru from the corner of his eyes and then he looked at Rin.

"Yeah, and can I see both of your diplomas?" She asked looking at Kohaku.

"Sure, here." They said in unison.

She put diploma under her left arm before taking their diplomas and looked at them one at a time. When Sesshomaru started talking to some girl behind him, Kohaku stepped forward towards Rin and whispered, "Don't worry. I haven't told him anything." Rin just nod her head while still looking at their diplomas.

"Haven't told me what?" Sesshomaru said as he looked at them when he got through talking to the girl behind him.

Rin looked up at him and then at Kohaku. When she was about to answer, she heard someone called her name. Sesshomaru, Kohaku, and Rin looked in the direction to where Rin's name was being called from. It was Kagome, with Sango and Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi following behind her. She was telling Rin to let's go. Rin looked at Sesshomaru and Kohaku as they looked back at her. "Sorry you guys I gotta go. I'll get back to you on that Sesshomaru." Then she handed them their diplomas and took hers from under her arm. As she took off running towards her family, she thought, "Saved by my sister." When she got to where her family was, she asked, "What do ya'll want?"

"We have to hurry on up and get back to the house, because grandma and grandpa have to be somewhere tomorrow." Kagome said

"So they had time to stop by for our graduation after party." Rin said with a smile on her face.

"Yes they did, but they're not staying long now let's go." Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Yes ma'am." Kagome and Rin said in unison. As they all were on their way to the car, Rin and her sisters talked to some of the kids.

This chappie was shorter than this, but I made it longer by adding more stuff to it. I'm so sorry for this long wait in between chapters, but I've been busy with work (I'm so happy I got one now and it took like a year or two), catching up on my emails, and other stuff. I'm so happy that I finally got a computer of my own. That took like five years (give or take a year or two). I just don't have internet yet though.
