Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

I've seen too many badly written high school fanfictions, so I thought I'd try to write a better one. After writing it I'm not sure if it's so good.

Students shuffled onto the school grounds, each dressed in their school uniforms. Today was the first day of the new school year, and they were all eager to see which classes they have been put in. The line to get to the boards was rather long, so many of the students hung back hoping to eventually get the chance to see the board. Amongst those students was Rin. Her long black hair blew in the wind as she watched alone in curiosity.

Suddenly a red haired, pigtailed girl bound up to her full of energy. Her green eyes sparkled as she announced to Rin, "We're in the same class together!"

Rin smiled at her friend and signed to her, "Is Kouga in our class also?"

"Of course he is!" Ayame said with a big smile on her face. "My Kouga will have to finally keep his promise to date me now that he's going to see me nearly every day."

Ayame had been chasing after Kouga since they were young kids, and at one time when they were younger he had promised her that they would go on a date some day. But things changed their junior year of high school when the sophomores appeared. Amongst them was Kagome, and Kouga feel madly in love with her. But that would not stop Ayame from getting what she wanted.

Rin followed along as Ayame started towards the building. She only had one more year left before graduation, which meant that she could finally get out of her aunt's house. The current bruise on her arm was a reminder of why she she needed to get out of her aunt's house.

Slowly the students in Rin's class filed into the room taking note of everyone there. Amongst all of the students was Sesshomaru Arakida. By far the most handsome guy in the school, he easily won over the hearts and bodies of nearly every girl in the school with his long silver hair and golden eyes. He said little, but when it mattered he knew exactly what to say to strike fear in any man and get any woman into his bed.

But Rin was the exception to this rule. He had long since figured her to not be worth his time since he knew little sign language. Yet he seemed to be learning sign language more since he first gave up on her when they were only freshman. So instead he just passed off his lack of interest in her as her being too much of a geek to waste his time on.

Yet she was never afraid of him nor did she beg him to show her any attention. Most of the time it seemed that she was completely unaware of his existence, and in a way that irked Sesshomaru.

"Hey," Kouga greeted Sesshomaru, whose only acknowledgment was his eyes traveling from Rin to Kouga. "I guess you still can't get your way from her," he said pointing at Rin.

"She's not worth my time."

Kouga was joined by his two best friends, Ginta and Hikaku. They both had been quite interested in Rin for some time but didn't have the guts to say anything to her. "He's probably just as afraid of talking to her as we are," Ginta joked.

"Or doesn't have what it takes to convince her that he's worthy of her attention," Hikaku suggested.

Sesshomaru used his extraordinary strength to pick up the both of them as he bared his teeth asking, "What do you mean by that?"

Kouga just chuckled at the three of them before suggesting, "You do always go for the easy girls. I bet you don't even try to seduce her because she would be a challenge."

"I could just as easily say that I haven't tried Ayame yet," Sesshomaru said to him coldly knowing it would irk him.

Kouga waved his fists in Sesshomaru's face threatening, "Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" Sesshomaru finally dropped Ginta and Hikaku. Upon noticing that Ayame had been listening in on Koga's threats he quieted down and walked to another part of the room away from her. Sesshomaru eventually followed only to be bombarded with a suggestion from Kouga, "I propose a bet."

"What kind of bet?" Sesshomaru's cold voice asked him in a nonchalant way.

Kouga stroked his chin for a second before answering, "I bet you can't get Rin into bed by graduation. That gives you nine months."

Sesshomaru's eyes looked over Rin as she sat there listening to Ayame, and then he looked Kouga in the eye and said, "What will the terms be?"

"If I win," Kouga thought aloud. "You'll help me break up your brother and his girlfriend." He made a terrifying laugh at the thought of Kagome running away from Inuyasha and into his arms.

"And if I win, you will be my personal servant for a month."

The look of terror on Kouga's face caused the other two men to laugh. "What do you mean by that? What do you think you'll have me do?"

Hikaku whispered to Kouga, "Hey, you're going to win, so why are you worried?"

Kouga straightened his jacket of his uniform and looked as if nothing had phased him. "Alright. I'll take your bet because I'm confident that I'll win," he said as he held out his hand to shake. Sesshomaru shook his hand in a bargain. This would certainly be an interesting school year ahead.
