Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter Three
(Inuyasha prov)
Kagome was still yelling at me for abandoning Rin.
"I can't believe you could do such a thing! Honestly, Inuyasha, your brother around just because you asked him to. She probably got lost dozens of times."
I tuned the rest out the rest and looked around the noisy lunch room. Sango and Koga were coming in the east doorway, Ayame was paying for her food, and Miroku was walking toward Kagome and me.
Kagome smacked my shoulder so I looked over at her. If looks could kill I would have died right then.
"Look Kagome I'm sure she's fine."
Miroku sat across from me. A sly look crossed his face. "If you two are talking about Rin, then yes she is fine. In more ways then one." When Kagome turned her glare on him he smiled innocently, and shifted his violet eyes to look past her. They widened slightly and he said in a weird tone, "As a matter of fact there she is now." We turned to look and what we saw was so hard to believe it took me a moment to understand. Walking over to the lunch line was Rin and Sesshomaru, side by side.
I glanced over at Kagome knowing my face had the same shocked look. Her eyes were huge and her mouth was hanging open. I snapped mine shut.
"S-see I told you she was fine." I said looking back at the two. All across the cafeteria people were stealing glances; it would be funny if it wasn't so shocking. Koga, Sango, and Ayame reached us then and sat down. "Are you three seeing what I'm seeing?" Koga asked.
"From the look on Kagome's face I'd say yes they are." Sango answered glancing over her shoulder her eyes still wide. It was very shocking to see that Sesshomaru had shown someone around. Sure I had asked him to, but I really didn't think he would. "I wonder what she did to get him to agree." Miroku said, without any hidden meaning for once. The rest of us nodded in agreement.
"I don't know you'll just have to ask later right now we need to act normal, here they come." Sango said quickly, turning back to her tray. We all turned to are trays and started eating. Rin reached us first and sat down on the other side of Kagome, Sesshomaru sat down next to Miroku. (So it goes Inuyasha, Kagome, Rin, Koga, Ayame, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Sango, Inu.) Kagome turned to Rin.
"I am soooo sorry Rin, I didn't think Inuyasha would just ditch you like that."
"I didn't ditch her you asked me to show her to her next class and I did. You didn't say anything about after that." I defended myself. I admit it was a weak defense but it was something. Kagome turned on me her light brown eyes blazing and stabbed her finger at my face. "You had no idea if he would show her around and you knew it was more likely he wouldn't. You told me that you had taken care of it that she was fine!"
"She's right, I never even answered you." Sesshomaru said clearly enjoying my pain. I shot him a glare, but it was too late Kagome had heard what he said.
"You didn't even get an answer before you left her!" she yelled.
I flinched, couldn't really help it with her so close. Koga and Ayame also flinched. Sesshomaru's face remained as blank as always. Before I could say anything Rin placed her hand on Kagome's arm. Kagome turned to her and I don't know how she did it, but she calmed Kagome down within moments. Kagome turned back to her lunch and acted as if I wasn't there.
I held back a sigh of relief. Miroku snickered. "Good thing Rin decided to forgive you Inu or you'd be in series trouble." He said in a stage whisper. I sent him a glare and threw a chip at him. He just laughed. Kagome refused to talk to me so I decided to watch Rin to see if I could figure out what had caught my brother's attention. From what I saw she was nothing special, but that didn't matter. When she stole a fry from Koga's tray I decided that I liked her.
"So Rin how many classes do you have with Sesshomaru?" Ayame asked curiously. Rin shrugged her small shoulders and looked at Sesshomaru. He said nothing but raised an eyebrow. Rin seemed to understand because she took out her schedule and handed it to him. He looked it hover and then silently handed it back. Still he said nothing and the silence stretched on. "So how many classes does she have with you?" Sango demanded in exasperation.
Sesshomaru looked at her with one brow raised then turned back to his tray. "From third hour on she's in my class." He finally replied. Miroku choked on his soda. "No way! How did that happen?" he asked once he was finished coughing.
"Well obviously she tested high enough to be placed in those classes." Koga said rolling his eyes at him.
"Rin's always been like that. She gets it from her dad." Kagome said smiling at Rin. Rin gave her a small smile in return. Miroku stood, catching my eye. When I looked over I saw Sesshomaru looking at Rin, but he looked away a so fast I wondered if I had imagined it. "Anyone who is finished eating had better hand over their tray now or take it themselves." Miroku said looking at everyone. It had become a habit to give one person all of the trays so that we could escape the crowed more easily by the trash cans. It was a good strategy as we were always among the first to leave since we didn't get caught. Ayame, Koga, Kagome, and I all slid our trays over to him. Once those were stacked Sesshomaru put his on the pile. Miroku looked over to Rin; she smiled and handed over her tray. When Miroku came back the bell rang, we all stood up to leave talking among ourselves. I heard a sharp intake of breath and turned to see Rin's face turn a bright cherry red. She turned and slapped Miroku across his face.
The sound echoed around the room. "Miroku you pervert." Koga said shaking his head and scowling at him. Miroku shrugged looking sheepish. The red hand print stood out vividly against his pale skin. Rin glared at him and then stormed out of the cafeteria. Everyone was glaring at Miroku who was standing there with an innocent look on his face.
"You're an idiot you know that right?" I said. He just grinned like the idiot he was.
"Should we go find Rin?" Ayame asked looking in the direction she had gone. Before anyone could answer the warning bell rang. We looked at each other and then slowly started to head in the opposite direction. "She'll be fine." I said to Kagome as we walked to class. She glanced up at me her brown eyes worried. "How do you know? This place is huge and some of the students are well…..you know." I had no real answer for her so I simply shrugged. She looked around a small frown on her face. "Hey were did Sesshomaru go?"
I snorted, "Who knows he's good at disappearing." She nodded.
(Rin's prov)
I stormed out of the cafeteria with no idea where I was going. With a sigh I leaned against one of the steel gray lockers that lined the walls. For a moment I studied the land scape outside the window. It was open to the court yard. Tables were set out in seemingly random places for the students to eat outside on nice days. Five huge shade trees were spaced evenly around the space with flowerbeds in the more open spaces. The whole affect was very beautiful. I closed my eyes wandering how I was going to find my next class.
Maybe I could go back and see if Kagome or one of the others could show me. Right then the bell rang and I sighed again. Going to find Kagome was no good they were all probably on their way to class now.
"Rin."
The voice was quiet and cold. My eyes snapped open. Standing in front of me was Sesshomaru. I couldn't believe it, he was the last person I had expected to see, but I was not about to question this turn in my luck. I gave him a smile. He looked at me a moment more then turned and started down the hall, I quickly followed after him.
The rest of the day went quickly. I had two other teachers that were demons, but they didn't give me any problems and I really liked them. My last hour was a gym class that every one of my friends shared. I found it funny that there was a rule that forbid Inuyasha and Sesshomaru from fighting each other. They could be put against each other for normal things like basketball or dodge ball, but under no circumstance were they to be paired against each other for combat training. Apparently the coach had them fight Inuyasha's freshman year; the result was a destroyed gym. It had taken a year to rebuild it!
Call me weird but I find that funny. Today was a boring day for gym, since the coach was only explaining the rules of dodge ball. I'm pretty sure we all know the rules of this game by now. When the bell rang I followed the rest of the girls into the locker room to change back into our street clothes.
"Man that was so boring!" Ayame wined as she pulled her blue t-shirt on.
"Yeah, as if we don't know the rules of dodge ball." Sango replied, "We've been playing dodge ball since third grade."
"True but Mrs. Kyada has to go over the rules so that no one can claim they didn't know." Kagome said reasonably, snapping her jeans.
"Yeah, but it's still boring." Ayame said tying her sneaker.
"You know what? We should do something this weekend to welcome Rin to the gang." Sango said grabbing her black bag and heading to the door. The rest of us followed.
"Yeah that would be cool. Don't you think Rin?" Ayame said excitedly bouncing up to my side. I smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, but what should we do?" Kagome asked dodging around a girl running in the opposite direction. We all thought about it as we headed to the school parking lot. Near the exit we ran into the boy's and we joined the rush of students heading to their cars.
"Hey, you guys we want to do something this weekend to welcome Rin, any ideas?" Kagome asked.
"Well we could-"Miroku started to say, but everyone cut him off.
"NO!"
Miroku sighed. "We could have a movie night at my place." Inuyasha said into the silence. We all looked at him, he shrugged. "You could come over Saturday and stay till Sunday." The others looked at me. I was thinking about the last movie night I had been at, but I managed to smile and nod. "Sweet, party at Inu's." Miroku said dancing around to the driver's side of his green jeep.
"You are weird, you know that right?" Koga said climbing into the back seat.
I followed Kagome to Sango's Mercedes, silently laughing at the argument she was having with Ayame over the front seat. Suddenly I felt eyes on me. Looking around I saw no one, but the feeling remained. I looked over my shoulder and met cold amber eyes. For a moment Sesshomaru and a stared into each other's eyes. My heart started to pound and I couldn't look away. Then Kagome grabbed my arm and the moment was lost. Sesshomaru turned away and I turned to Kagome. My heart was still pounding, but was slowly returning to normal.
"Rin who do you think should get the front?" She asked. I looked from Kagome to Ayame then at Sango. She had locked herself in the car and was waiting for the argument to be settled. I caught her I and she smiled. I walked over to the passenger door and climbed in. Kagome and Ayame looked at me then each other. They burst out laughing, shrugged then climbed into the back.
Sango dropped Kagome and me off first. "See you guys tomorrow." Kagome said as she climbed out, I smiled and waved. "See you." They called in unison, before Sango drove off. Walking through the front door we were met by the scent of fresh baked cookies. We shared a grin then ran straight for the kitchen.
"Not these ones, their hot!" Is what my aunt said when we came in. "Eat those they had time to cool." She smiled and pointed to another batch on the counter. Kagome took a big bit out of a chocolate cookie and I bit into a oatmeal raisin. Aunt Sara laughed, the sound like bells ringing. "So how was your first day Rin?" She asked taking a sugar cookie. I grinned.
"You won't believe who showed her around." Kagome said with a sly smile. Aunt Sara lifted an eyebrow glancing at me, then back to her daughter.
"Sesshomaru," was all Kagome said. Surprise was clear on her mother's face.
"Inuyasha's older brother?" She asked in disbelief. "The very same," Kagome said around another bit of cookie. The way my aunt looked at me made me blush.
"Now how did that happen?"
Kagome explained it, how she had asked Inuyasha to show me to my third hour and then how he ditched me. How, the next time she saw me was at lunch walking in with Sesshomaru. "Oh I was ready to kill Inu when I found out. Then to learn, that Sesshomaru hadn't even answered him!" Kagome shook her head her light brown eyes flashing.
"So how did it work out with Sesshomaru showing you around dear?" Aunt Sara asked curiously. "He's not the type to do things for another without a reason."
I shook my head, and then pulled out a notebook. Normally I wouldn't do this but I had to make them understand that I hadn't done anything.
'I don't know what made him decide to show me around honestly.'
"HMMMM, third hour is your first class with him right?" My aunt asked looking thoughtful. "What happened in third hour?"
I thought about it. Then wrote down what had happened with the teacher and then the note. Other than that nothing out of the ordinary happened.
"He stood up for you?" Kagome asked her eyes wide. I nodded completely confused by now.
"Sesshomaru doesn't stand up for any one Rin; he rarely stands up for his own brother, let alone someone he just met." Kagome explained. I really didn't get why it was such a big deal, but let it go. We sat in silence for a moment then aunt Sara got up to pull some more cookies out of the oven.
"I'm sure you'll find out soon enough what made him do what he did." She said as she placed them on a cooling rack, she glanced over a smile tugging up her lips and mischief in her dark eyes. "Be sure to tell all me about it when you find out."
AN: well that's it for now hope you liked it. Please tell me what you think and I'll up date as soon as I can
