Art and Love? Chapter 1

"Rin, it s time to get up or you ll be late for school!" Her mother yelled from the kitchen, it was her first day back to school and she wasn t looking forward to it.

"RIN!" Her mother yelled again. "Alright, Alright I m getting up sheesh! "she said as she reluctantly crawled out of her bed. Rin is normally a happy fun person; when she didn t have to wake up at 5am because of band She mumbled something under her breath as she tiredly picked out her clothes and walked out of her room to go take a quick shower. She washed her hair with her peach scented shampoo and conditioner then washed her body with the same scented body soap. After rinsing her body off she stepped out of the shower and dried herself off, she put her clothes on and wrapped a dry towel on her head to dry her hair. She then applied a little makeup to her face and walked out of the bathroom.

Rin walked into the kitchen with her towel still wrapped around her head smiling when she saw her mom cooking she sat down at the dining room table.

"Hi mom" she said now fully awake.

"Good morning Rin," She said with a smile. Her mom, unlike Rin, was a morning person.

"Come get your food from the counter; so are you excited about starting school again?"

"Yea it would be nice to have another subject other than band for 8 hours." She replied taking a bite out of her omelet.

"Well that s nice hon" Her mother said sitting next to Rin with her own plate of food. They ate in a comfortable silence until Rin finished her food and excused herself from the table so she could finish getting ready for school.

Rin walked into the band hall like any other morning, as she began to pull out her flute from its case her friends Miroku and InuYasha walked up to her with their instruments (Miroku plays Trumpet and InuYasha plays the French Horn) Hey Rin Miroku greeted giving her a hug, reaching down to grope her until Sango walked by smacking him in the back of the head with her flute. InuYasha only sighed having known Miroku sense middle school her was used to the guys perverted actions.

"Alright everyone start heading out to the field!" the director yelled. InuYasha s ears twitched as he turned heading for the door. The school was mixed between humans, hanyous, and yoke so it wasn t uncommon for people or demons to make friends with each other. Though most yokai never liked to make friends with humans of hanyous, it was very rare if they did because most of the time it had meant they found their mate.

"Hey guys," Kagome said running up to the group a little out of breath.

"Kagome you could have told us to wait for you so you didn t have to run!" InuYasha said with a scowl. Kagome just gave her mate-to-be an irritated glare before walking up to Sango and Rin.

"Hey Rin, did ya hear?"

"Hear what Kagome? You have to be a little more specific she said with a laugh," Kagome could be so vague in the mornings.

"We got a new art teacher, he's replacing Hakaeda sempai."

"What happened to Hakaeda Sempai?" Rin asked a little worried.

"She's supposedly getting married to some guy from America!"

"Oh really? That s nice; so who's the new teacher" Rin asked now a little curious.

"His name is-"

"Hurry up and get set up in the block!" the director yelled interrupting Kagomes sentence.

"I'll tell you later Rin" Kagome yelled running over to the podium so she could conduct.

"Alright, come on Sango let's get to our spots so we won't get in trouble"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After band was over Rin still didn t have the opportunity to finish her conversation with Kagome, because she had to take the podium inside; Rin also couldn t stay and wait for her because Sango and InuYasha dragged her off to their next class.

"Sango do you know who the new art teacher is?"

"Rin are you still thinking about that?"

"Feh, Rin you might as well drop the subject." InuYasha commented.

"Why is that InuYasha?" Rin asked

"He's an ass" He said with his normal scowl.

"You know him?" Sango asked as they finally walked into their class, sitting down in the back of the class before anyone else had the chance to take it.

"Yea, and trust me Rin you don't want to."

"Really?" Rin asked.

"Oh InuYasha stop that, he can't be that bad."

"Feh, you'll see" He said before the bell rang, meaning that class had started.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was finally time Rin's last class for the day luckily it was her favorite class Art; it was also the class that she was a little nervous about entering, no thanks to InuYasha. She sighed and walked into the familiar classroom, walking over to the seat closest to the two computers, the printer and the teacher s desk. It was the seat she had last year and that wasn t going to changed she liked that spot. Rin reached into her bag and started digging through everything for her sketch pad when she looked up she saw Kagome walk into the room along with a few other students.

"Kagome, I didn t know we had art together!" she said with a small smile.

"I guess we do Rin" Kagome said sitting next to Rin.

"What do you think out first project is going to be?"

"I don t know Rin I hope we start out with water color!"

The girls continued their conversation not noticing the rest of the class slowly starting to fill out the room. The bell rang and the class room was still filled with talking until the teacher walked in, that s when the room fell silent. Rin looked up from her sketch she started to work on earlier when her and Kagome were talking; she was surprised their walking towards her was a handsome man no a demon with a fluffy thing draping over his shoulder, two magenta marks under each of his beautiful golden eyes, he had a blue-ish crescent moon on his forehead between his split silver bangs, and long silver hair, she finally caught herself staring and looked down back at her sketch. He swiftly walked past her saying one word low enough for only her to hear

"Mate..."

...that one word would turn out to change her life... forever...
