Title: From Ice to Sunshine

Chapter 2: Wondering Thoughts and Fear

By InuShemeeko

Sesshomaru sped down the road toward Shard Jr. High. He had other things that he could be doing then picking his little half brother and his friend up from school. Today however he didn't have a choice, Izayoi his stepmother and Inuyasha's mother was in the hospital due to problems related to her pregnancy. She had become pregnant even after the doctors had warned her not too.

The thought of having another brat of a half sibling did not sit well with him. However he had no choice in the matter, it wasn't that he didn't like Izayoi in fact he never blamed her at all, she had never tried to act as Sesshomaru's mother and had always treated him kindly. It was his father whom Sesshomaru hated. He believed that his father could have done something to stop his mother from leaving them. As it was he had not, his father had just moved on and never looked back.

Sesshomaru slowed down as he pulled his silver Metallic Pontiac Grand Am into the parent parking. If anyone of those little Jr. High brats touched his car they were going to be sorry.

*************************************************************** ******

Inuyasha frowned as he saw his older brother leaning against his car. He was confused at first usually his mom came to picked him and Kagome up.

"Oh great. Come on Kagome his Iciness is here to get us. If he didn't think he was better then everybody else he could have come in to let us know he was here."

Sesshomaru's eyes remained cold as Inuyasha and Kagome approached the silver car. Inuyasha opened the door to let Kagome get in first.

"Be careful of the leather seats Kagome. His Iciness would get angry and start to melt if anything happened to them," Inuyasha smirked.

Something sparked inside of Sesshomaru's cold honey brown eyes as he looked at Kagome and then Inuyasha.

"Perhaps little brother you would rather that I leave your little wench friend here?"

Kagome gasped as she saw the anger jump into Inuyasha's eyes. She could have sworn she had heard Inuyasha growl as he turned to face his brother.

"What did you just call Kagome?"

Sesshomaru's face remained stoic as he looked at Inuyasha.

"I called her a wench little brother does that bother you?"

Sesshomaru almost laughed when Inuyasha jumped him from behind wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Take it back Sesshomaru or I'll ring your neck and then no one will want you," Inuyasha snared at his brother.

Kagome was surprised as Sesshomaru nodded toward her.

"I am sorry if I offend you in anyway. I did not know my little brother saw you in such a way."

Inuyasha looked dumbfounded as he let go of Sesshomaru as dropped to the ground.

"Saw her in what way? What the hell are you talking about?"

Sesshomaru opened his car door and climbed in.

"If you don't know little brother I'm not going to tell you. Now get in before I leave you."

*************************************************************** *****

Inuyasha winced at the classical music that was coming from Sesshomaru's CD player. He wasn't sure but he thought the song that was being played now was Greensleeves.

"Come on Sesshomaru, I know you have some other CD's in here. I know you have a Creed."

"I would think you were accustom to listening to this music Inuyasha. However yes I do."

Inuyasha was shocked at for once Sesshomaru was being at least a little nice something must being going on. He figured it was best to ask once Kagome was home.

Sesshomaru pulled out his Creed: human clay CD.

`For once little brother I myself could do with something different.'

He slid the CD in and flipped it to track five.

*What makes you touch?

What makes you feel?

What makes you stop and smell the roses in an open field?

What makes you unclean?

Yeah, Yeah*

Sesshomaru knew that Inuyasha was staring at him. He however did not care; he would talk to Inuyasha later about his mother.

Both Inuyasha and Kagome turned to look at each other. Sesshomaru was always quiet when he had to pick them up. What had gotten their attention was the fact that Sesshomaru was listening to Creed. He never did that unless something was bothering him big time. The two 8th graders remained silent as the car drove on to Kagome's house.

*What makes you laugh?

What makes you cry?

What makes our youth run

From the thought that we might die?

What makes you bleed?*

Sesshomaru's cold eyes glanced up into the rear view mirror and watch as his little brother and his friend whispered to each other. He knew the reason for their whispers was because that they were talking about him. Right now Sesshomaru couldn't have cared less. His mind kept drifting to the beautiful young girl in the hallway. He had never felt like this before.

He found himself wondering how he had ever not noticed her before.

`Why is it that girl, Rin is now on my thoughts. It disturbs me that I suddenly felt something toward her. I was almost a feeling of need, almost as if I……'

Sesshomaru shook his last thought from his head, as he focused on the last verse of the song coming out of the player.

*Somebody told me the wrong way

What if I died?

What did I give?

I hope it was an answer so you might live

I hope I helped you live

I hope I helped you live*

*Somebody told me the wrong way

Somebody told me the wrong way

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah*

Inuyasha waved good-bye to Kagome as he walked her to her door.

"I'll see you tomorrow Kagome."

Kagome smiled back at him.

"Yep see you tomorrow Inuyasha."

Inuyasha then made his way back to Sesshomaru's silver Pontiac GrandAm, and climb in beside of Sesshomaru. He then just came to the point as his missed matched eyes looked over at his half brother.

"It's mother isn't it? She and the baby are sick again aren't they?"

Not a bit of emotion showed in Sesshomaru's face, as he spoke to Inuyasha. His voice remained cold and uncaring.

"Yes it is. However I do not know what is exactly wrong. I'm sure father will let us know soon enough."

When they reached their home Sesshomaru saw that their father's black Saturn was in the driveway. Which meant that Inuyasha's mother and their father were home. Inuyasha held grabbed his book bag and was gone, slamming the door behind. Sesshomaru winced at the force Inuyasha had used to slam the door closed.

Sesshomaru himself gently closed his door and went to his trunk to get his books out. He then realized that he had left his chemistry book in his locker. I would have to go back and get it. Sesshomaru then wrote at note to their father and placed it under the wiper on his father's car.

He then slid into his car, started it, backup and head back out of the driveway.

*************************************************************** ********

Rin's breathing was labored as she ran toward the school parking lot. Her brown cinnamon eyes were wide with fright. When suddenly a pair of strong arms came up behind her and wrapped around her waist causing her to scream out in surprise.

Sesshomaru's honey brown eyes whipped up at the sound of some one screaming. It didn't sound like a playful scream, but one fill with terror, his backpack forgotten on the pavement beside his car. Normally Sesshomaru wouldn't have worried about the scream and would have just gone home. Today there was just something about the scream that pulled at the strings of his heart.

*************************************************************** *****

Rin had never cowered away from anything before in her life. Now she just wanted to disappear, her small frame was thrown hard against one of the trees that grew to the side of the parking lot.

"Who is he Rin, tell me NOW!"

Rin bit her lip willing the tears that were forming in her eyes to keep from falling.

"There is no one Bradley."

Bradley's ice blue eyes seemed to see right through Rin.

"You lying little bitch!"

After that Rin wasn't sure what had happened. The right side of her face stung Rin then realized that Bradley had just slapped her. Rin stood her ground as Bradley towered over her.

"How can there be anyone else Bradley? I'm lucky I have the friends I have. Why? Because you tell me if they are good enough or not."

Rin's response earned her another slap across the face. The force of his hand that time almost knocked her to the ground.

"I don't like the tone you just used. Maybe I need to remind you of your place."

Bradley was about to slap Rin across the face once more when someone firmly gripped his wrist.

"I believe you have already put her in her PLACE, as you so call it already."

Bradley ripped out of Sesshomaru's grip.

"You stay out of this, rich boy. This is none of your business."

Sesshomaru's face remained stoic and his eyes cold as he stared down at the boy.

"Normally I would. However, it is the way that you are putting her in her place that bothers me."

Bradley's eyes looked at Rin and then at Sesshomaru.

"It's he the one? Is he the one that you been cheating on me with?"

Rin remain silent as Bradley yelled at her, her body was starting to feel numb as Bradley started to yell at her. He then grabbed her roughly by the arm. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at Bradley.

"I believe you have had long enough to say goodbye to her. Now go home and cool off, before you do something that you will regret."

Bradley started to storm away from Rin and Sesshomaru.

"Just you wait Rin. There will be a day that no one will save you and then you will be sorry that you ever chose to leave me."

Once Bradley was gone Sesshomaru turned to face Rin.

"Are you ok?"

Sesshomaru's eyes registered the blood in the corner of her mouth as well as the huge bruise that was now marring the right side of her face. Rin slowly nodded her head at Sesshomaru to let him know that she was ok. He how ever knew that she wasn't.

"You should get home and get some ice on that bruise on your face."

Sesshomaru started to walk away from her when he heard her soft voice speck from behind him.

"I can't he was my ride home and you seemed to have scared him away."

Sesshomaru sighed as he turned back to her.

"Then I suppose I could give you a ride. If that is what you wish."

Rin smiled shyly at Sesshomaru and then looked down at her feet.

"I would like that. If it's not to much trouble."
