Enjoy! This one was also revised!

Kagome peered into her mirror. Her skin had is glow back, and her eyes no longer were swollen or discolored. There was only a scratch across her cheek, and a small cotton bandage covering up her stitches. The gash wasn't even an inch long anymore, thank Kami. The doctors were assuring her that there would be no scarring and she knew that she had her miko blood to thank.

 

For that she was glad.

 

“Just a little cover up!” She chirped aloud, almost in a sing song voice. Kagome had gotten over the worse part of all the shock, though she was pretty sure Shippo would be out for blood for a long time. I guess that was just in his nature. Even though the boy could be a little cowardly, he still had his moments. He was demon after all. Aside from his anger and complaining, he barely had a scratch on him. Lucky boy!

 

The mirror reflected a still chipper Kagome, with that same gleam in her eyes. She might have had a huge scare, but she wasn't defeated. The miko was stronger than that!

 

“Kagome, you're going to be late!” Mrs. Higurashi called from down the stairs.

 

“I'm coming!” Kagome called back, turning to take one final glance in the mirror. When she was pleased with her appearance, she left the bathroom. Her bare feet padded through the hall and down the stairs before she grabbed a pair of white flip flops from the shoe basket. She snatched up her yellow bag, and headed out the door with peck on the cheek from her mother.

 

“Shippo are you leaving with Souta?” the girl called, paused in the front doorway.

 

“YEAH!” he shouted back, hastily. Kagome sweat dropped. He was always like that now! It wasn't like the accident was her fault, but the kitsune sure acted that way. She just shrugged and headed out the door. Her car was still in the shop, so Kag was stuck driving her mothers Bravada. It was horrible on gas; therefore her wallet was going to be a little less full for about 2 months.

 

Well, it wouldn't have to be. The Taisho family had offered to pay for anything and everything, which included the gas money, car repairs, and hospital bills. They wanted to pay for other things to, like if Shippo or Kagome would need counseling. Hell, even the mention of buying her and her mother a new came in question. She had quickly, but politely turned them down. She wasn't that kind of person.

 

Over the past 2 weeks, Kagome was able to learn a lot more about the accident. She had old talked to the boy, InuYasha, once since then. It was very brief. But she could tell her felt awful, even though he still hadn't sent her any flowers. He angered her, but not as much as he used to. Especially after she had discovered why he was driving the way he was…

 

Kagome shook her head, pushing the thoughts of the accident to the back of her mind. The Taisho family gave her family many generous offers, and it wasn't to bribe them. It was because they were actually very concerned; which surprised everyone. Not much was known about the family, other than they were big shot rich people.

 

InuYasha's brother had even said to her mother and grandfather that if they wished to sue them, then they may. He would understand completely.

 

Kagome did not like the Taisho brother, Sesshoumaru. He seemed very cold, and very distant. And if he hadn't been so mentally and physically destructive to his younger sibling, the whole accident wouldn't have even happened…so that look he gave InuYasha, full of a hate and accusation was not justified.

 

Kagome growled at herself, and shook her head again to relieve herself of the thoughts. Boy, did she ever get side tracked easily…

 

After a safe and peaceful ride to school, she was almost certain she was ready to face her classmates again. She prepared herself for the questions, and the answers that she would give. Not that any of it was really anyone's business, but Sango had warned her that tons of rumors were flying around. So the best thing to do was to shrug them off and/or tell them the story. It would be no problem for Kagome, but the idea of coming face to face with InuYasha Taisho again was a little scary. She wasn't really ready for it…

 

“KAGOME!”

 

Ayumi was speeding towards her, and practically leaped into her arms. “OH MY GOD! I can't believe you're back! I was so worried…” The short girl squeezed tight as they hugged, still speaking a mile a minute. Kagome was taken back a little, and smiled exasperatedly as her friend went rambling on.

 

“You would not believe what people have been saying. I can't believe InuYasha is such an asshole. You know he hasn't said a word about that accident?—” Ayumi paused, took a deep breath and continued on. Kagome thought that if she heard another word she might run away screaming.

 

Oh God, Sango where are you? She thought, trying to pull away from the girl. “Ah, Ayumi… I…can't…I can't…AYUMMI I CAN'T BREATHE!” The raven-haired girl shouted, desperately trying to free herself from Ayumi's hug-of-doom.

 

The girl blinked, releasing her and laughed nervously. “Eh, sorry Kag!” She stepped back, smiling as she turned to leave. “Just be careful, okay?”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes halfheartedly, and turned to be on her way. `Please don't let everyone be like this!' She thought, keeping her head down as she walked through the hallways. She could practically feel the stares on her, so she just grinned and bared it as best she could. The girl even managed to give few fake smiles in the direction of some of her classmates.

 

Finally, after what seemed like forever, she was finally able to meet up with Sango and Miroku.

 

“Kagome!” Sango cheered, catching the girl in a tight embrace. “I'm so glad you're back, this loser was driving me insane!” she said, glaring off to the side at the Monk. Miroku just grinned innocently and waved happily at her.

 

“Hi Kagome, I'm so pleased that you're finally back!”

 

Kagome smiled back at him (and this time it was sincere), and the three continued on their way down the hall. Sango and Kag chatted for a bit, pausing only when Miroku's hand slipped a quick touch on Sango's bottom. She immediately backhanded him, and then eventually helped him on his feet.

 

Kagome smiled at the two. No matter how much they drove each other crazy, she was pretty sure there were deeper feelings there. Those two would always have each other, and Kagome would have… well, no one. She of course had Sango and Miroku… Shippo, Souta, Momma and Grandpa, even Buyo; But did she really have that `someone'?

 

“Hello? Earth to Kagome?”

 

She blinked her eyes suddenly; awaken from her train of thoughts. “Oh ha-ha, `sorry Sango! Guess I kind of drifted off there.” Kagome smiled at her friend nervously. “So uh, what were you saying again?”

 

Sango rolled her eyes again, repeating her last comment. “I said, `Hey Kagome, Miroku and I were wondering if you would want to post-pone practice till tomorrow?' Would that be okay?” She asked, shifting her weight.

 

Kagome paused, considering her plans for the next day. “Yeah I think that would be fine. I don't have to pick up Souta for anything, and I'm pretty sure Shippo wouldn't care at all.”

 

“Thank God, I am so tired of being beaten up all day.” Miroku sighed, scratching the back of his head. Sango glowered at him.

 

“Maybe you wouldn't be hit all the time if you WEREN'T SUCH A PERVERT!”

 

“…I… I'm sorry Sango! You're just so beautiful, it's hard to resist!”

 

Kagome knocked Miroku over the head this time. “Geez, I don't know what it is with you! No matter how much Sango—”

 

“Ah, Kagome…” Miroku interrupted, raising his hand to point. The raven haired girl sighed exasperated, sticking her nose into the air as she walked. Sometimes she just could not believe this the Lech! All he ever did was either act like a con artist or a totally perv, and frankly she was so tired of it.

 

“Miroku, maybe Sango wouldn't get so angry if you—”

 

“-Kagome…!”

 

And just as the girl turned to give the monk a piece of her mind for interrupting her, she found out quickly what he was trying to warn her about. In a split second, she connected with possibly the most stone solid body on the planet.

 

“Eep!”

 

Kagome was knocked on to knees, and taken quite by surprise. Oh my God, I'm such a klutz! She thought to herself. “Wow, that didn't hurt as much as I thought it would…” the girl mumbled as she slowly began to raise her head, even if she was too embarrassed to look up at the person she ran into.

 

Kagome gulped down her nervousness anyway and started to make her apology, but quickly realized she was straddling the poor guy she landed on. “Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going and I…!”

 

As the girl looked up, her eyes widened in shock.

 

“Damn right you weren't watching where you were going, yet again!” Spat the silver haired hanyou, glaring up at her. Kagome seethed with anger and shock. It was him!

 

“Its you, InuYasha Taisho!” she growled, pointing an accusing finger in his face (despite their close distance). He scowled and pushed her hand out of her face.

 

“Mind getting off of me, wench?” he sneered, emphasizing her position. Kagome blushed wildly, and practically leaped to her feet. Why does it seem like this day will only get worse?! Once she was completely standing, she waited for her assailant. Then, in an instant Kagome began a verbal attack.

 

“You jerk!” She spat, “I can't believe you!” The girl quickly gathered her courage, enough to almost get directly into the guy's face. “What the heck is wrong with you!”

 

The guy scoffed, crossing his long arms over his chest. Kagome couldn't help but notice (yet again) how handsome he was, with his black shirt and loose jeans. Her admiration was not, even for a moment, shown on her face. Her dark ocean eyes glared deep into his, daring him to challenge her.

 

“What's wrong with me? What the fuck is wrong with you! You were straddling me!”

 

“Oh shut up, you act like an animal.”

 

“Keh and you act like a stupid wench!”

 

“Don't talk to me like that, Dog-Breath!”

 

“Dog demon, thank you very much bitch!”

 

Kagome's temper was rising a mile a minute. She would LOVE to tear the boy before her into tiny pieces, but decided against it. Instead she stepped even closer to him, pushing the limits of his comfort zone. “What are you, heartless or something?!

 

The boy growled, trying to shove past Kagome. But the girl was not that easily dismissed and stepped right back into his path. “Whoa wait a minute there, dog boy! I'm not done with you!” She hissed; her eyes completely focused on his amber ones.

 

“Listen woman, you're going to make me late for my next class…and unless you want to personally escort me, you just better let this go!” he warned, eyes twitching in irritation. What the hell is wrong with this woman, she obviously is so dense she can't get anything through that head! The demon thought, growling stubbornly at the girl before him.

 

“AH! Like I said! Heartless!”

 

“Will you just shut up and let me pass you already?!”

 

“Well maybe if you had an ounce of decency, you would have at least sent me flowers!”

 

“Wha-what?” InuYasha stumbled, taken back. His eyes immediately darkened. “Oh, just fuck it. I'm done!”

 

Kagome stood, shell-shocked. A sense of vertigo passed over her at the expression that had crossed her `enemies' face. He almost looked… disgusted? As if he was disgusted with her? The blood rushed to her cheeks at thought, she didn't even notice Miroku and Sango find their place at her side. Was there something I missed here, she thought to herself, watching the boys angry figure stomp down the hall.

 

“There it was again!” Sango pointed out, also watching the boy walk away. “That look I was telling you about!” She scratched her head in thought. Miroku could only shrug, and turned to a dumbfounded Kagome.

 

“Hey Kagome?” he asked, nudging her slightly. Kagome blinked, numbly turning to face him.

 

“…Y-yeah Miroku?” She asked, blinking again.

 

“Isn't that guy going into your next class?”

 

The girl's ocean eyes widened. “…shit.”

 

***

 

Kagome sat at her desk, nervously chewing on her pencil.

 

Her skin was tingling with irritation, and her miko senses were running wild. She could practically feel the boy's eyes on her back, and was it was taking all her effort to try and ignore him. It was making her very uneasy, being in the same room with him. Ugh, why doesn't he just drop dead?! The girl thought, her nerves urging her to tap her foot repeatedly.

 

The teacher stood before the class, preaching about the causes of World War 2. She couldn't pay attention, even if she wanted. All the poor girl could think about was the stupid boy and the argument. Minutes seemed to take hours to pass, and she felt as though she would burst from the tension.

 

Should I look back? She considered, nibbling on her eraser. Of course I can look back! It's not like he a do anything about it! Kagome ground her teeth together when a piece of paper connected with the back of her head. She stood very still, and pretended as if nothing happened for a moment, since the teachers eyes were currently in her direction. After a few minutes, she finally was able to turn her head back and send the hanyou a furious glare.

 

To her surprise, InuYasha was staring off into space… almost as if he had no idea what was going on. Kagome growled in annoyance, bending over the side of the desk and picking up the piece of paper. She rolled her eyes at the wad. What a moron…She thought, as she unraveled the `secret message'.

 

Kagome held the paper beneath the shadow of her desk, out of the teacher's view. When her eyes met with the text on the page, they narrowed. The very first line was entitled, “Wench”.

 

Why that arrogant little son of a- Wha? What's this? Her eyes widened slightly, continuing down the page.

 

 

 

Wench,

 

I don't know what your Goddamn problem is, but I DID send you flowersand all that mushy bullshit! So stop being a bitch about this! I said I was sorry, and there ain't anything else I can do…

 

 

InuYasha

 

Kagome's jaw dropped at his boldness. He was basically calling her a liar! Her? A LIAR? If she said she didn't get any flowers from him that said he was sorry, she meant it! How dare him! The nerve!

 

The girls' brow began to twitch. Her foot had started that irritated tap she tried so hard to avoid, and her pulse was pounding in her wrists. Oh the things she wished to do with this note… perhaps she would MAKE HIM SWALLOW IT ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES! Yes, that sounded like a grand idea. She could see it now… his cute little puppy ears flat against his head as he bowed down to her, pleading for her to shove the note down his throat.

 

“Oh, please do!” He would say, smiling graciously as Kagome used some sort of smell that hurled him in the ground over and over. `InuYasha' would be so pleased when his face was planted in the ground, and ask for more each time.

 

And there Kagome would stand, her left foot dominating the small of his back and she stood. Her hands would be at her hips, laughing triumphantly as the hanyou boy saw birdies and stars before his eyes. She would be like a super woman, the wind blowing through her hair and a wicked cool smile across her face

 

“Ahahahaha!”

 

“MISS HIGURASHI!”

 

Kagome practically jumped out of her skin at the sound of her name. The teacher stood before, tapping the stick pointer a few times, rather loudly, on her desk. “Ha-hai Sensei?” she stuttered, a red glow illuminating her cheeks. Kami, I'm toast! The girl thought, bowing her head in embarrassment.

 

“Miss Higurashi, when you attend my class you are expected to participate. I already instructed you who your partner was, why haven't you moved?!” Her sensei hissed, pointing an accusing finger at her. Kagome blinked and slowly looked around the room. She had been so lost in her daydream she hadn't even realized what was going on in the class.

 

Everyone was already partnered up. Kagome swallowed dryly and began searching for someone who didn't have a partner. Kiki was with Yaosuke, Kimiko with Hashi, Tomoe with Sanosuke, Uri and Naiko were also paired. Finally, she peeked over her shoulder… and there lied the only single person in the whole class.

 

“Inu-InuYasha Taisho…?” Kagome stammered; eyes wide. Her teacher rolled his eyes, and nodded with annoyance. You've got to be freaking' kidding me! The girl could practically feel her face as it was inflamed, and she felt as though all eyes in the planet were on her. “HAI!” she fumbled quickly, gathering her things from under her desk and moving to sit next to the hanyou.

 

“And SO-” the teacher commented, glaring at Kagome to emphasize what he was saying. “This is a very important project. I'm giving you two weeks to work on it…”

 

Kagome felt very shaken sitting next to InuYasha. If felt like everything in her body was on fire, but didn't look like InuYasha was bothered at all. He just remained in his seat, reclined casually with his arms behind his head and a pencil balancing on his nose.

 

“How'd you like my note, wench?” the hanyou said, `matter-of-factly'. Kagome's brow began to twitch, and she snapped her gaze to him.

 

“First of all, my name is not wench, it is Kagome! KA-GO-ME! Got it?”

 

“Keh, okay wench.”

 

“BAKA!” she hissed in a loud whisper, earning a sharp look from the teacher. Kagome bowed her head immediately, practically seething. The raven-haired girl could hear InuYasha as he snickered and quickly decided class with him would be utter hell. “What did I ever do to deserve this…-?”

 

“HIGURASHI KAGOME!”

 

“Eep! Gomen nasai Sensei!”

 

“You will remain silent for the rest of this period, or receive a detention! Wakarimasu ka (Do you understand)?!”

 

Kagome nodded her head, all together wishing she were dead or could just disappear. She hated the hanyou already. NEVER had she gotten in so much trouble, or even yelled at by a teacher! She was an honor roll student who normally had perfect attendance and ALWAYS adored by her teachers! Oh, how I would love the send this stupid inu into the ground!

 

The girl tried on her best smile for the teacher, bowing her head to apologize (my, she was doing that a lot lately) and tried very hard as well not to scream at the baka who was chuckling next to her. Kagome even tried so hard as to ignore him, that she scooted her chair further away from the demon and started taking notes.

 

 

“Oi, wench!” He attempted in a whisper.

 

But smart, beautiful Kagome just kept her head down and continued writing. She would not let him get to her, not even when his mindless pestering was becoming more frequent. And when the Inu Hanyou decided to growl at her, like he was some sort of alpha male, the patient miko only snorted and scrunched up her nose.

 

“Feh, fine be a bitch.” InuYasha snickered.

 

That my friends, is when our ever so lovely Kagome Higurashi lost all patience. No longer could she be called wench or bitch, dealing with the boys stupid obsessive pencil balancing, his crude names for females, his smart mouth or the way he clicked his tongue! No my friends, she was very tired of her unwanted companion. So it was in that moment that she decided to raise the heel of her boot (hidden well beneath bell-bottom of her jeans) and bring it down on his sandaled foot. And Miss Kagome did it with such amazing force, and never once flinched with regret at what she did. She remained quiet and calm the whole time.

 

Even when then hanyou hissed out a slue of curses and cried out in pain.

 

This, of course, caused a fateful chain of reaction; remember that pencil he balanced on the bridge of his nose, with oh-so much talent? Well Kagome watched as it fell into his eye…but she did nothing. Even when the chain of events cause InuYasha to loose his balance and fall backwards, Kagome only kept a slight smile on her face as she calmly finished writing her notes on the project.

 

As the bell rang ending Kagome's torture, she happily gathered her things and stepped over the hanyou (who was currently sprawled out on the floor, seeing stars).

 

Kagome placed one of her heeled boots on InuYasha's chest, putting most of her weight into that one leg. Grinning ear to ear, she stepped over him.

 

“Who's the bitch now?”

 

***

 

The girl was practically skipping with happiness through out the rest of the day.

 

Even though she was stuck with the Inu jerk for two weeks straight, she couldn't help but care less about it. She had been triumphant today, which of course, was all that mattered. The girl had been rewarded with laughter from the class as InuYasha's body went crashing to the ground, and the blush that had heated up his face like a tomato were prizes in themselves.

 

Yep, she was on cloud nine. Hearing the laughter that shot out from Sango's lips made it that much better.

 

“Yeah, go Kagome!” she cheered, high-fiving her friend. Miroku couldn't help but smirk. He always admired the two girls for their spunk. The three of them continued down the hall, laughing and teasing each other the whole way.

 

“Okay so, for practice tomorrow… are we going to drive out to Screwie Louie's and get a sign up sheet?” Miroku asked, raising his brow curiously at Kagome. The girl paused in thought, pressing her index finger to her lips. Sango folded her arms behind her head as she listened intently.

 

“I think we should Kagome, we haven't played a real good gig in forever. We need to get our name out there.” She added, glancing at her friend from the corner of her eye. Kagome smiled. She's right; we really haven't played a good one in a long time…

 

“Alright! Let's do it!” She cheered, feeling butterflies fluttering in her stomach already. The fire kindling inside of her was ready to explode, from her excitement with the defeat of InuYasha and the idea of playing in front of a large crowd again. It was their time to shine, and she wouldn't be sweet, shy, and innocent Kagome when they did. After they played at Screwie Louie's, things would definitely change for them!

 

Kagome could see it already! She would be on the stage, singing her heart to over a hundred people, of the real hard-core fans. She could feel the excitement boiling in her belly. What songs would they sing? Should she play guitar, the acoustic or her axe? What would she WEAR?! Should she leave her hair down, or pull something really awesome off?

 

Kagome was awoken from her daze as she heard Sango growl out in annoyance. Confused, she looked at her companion's expression for an answer, since it didn't appear as though the monk had done anything perverse. “What?” she asked, only to be answered by the slayer's ominous pointing forward.

 

“That.”

 

`That' was a certain Hanyou grumpily stomping into the gym before them… they're next class. Kagome wanted to slam her head into the wall. “Great just great! ANOTHER CLASS WITH HIM!”

 

“Eh, sorry Kagome!” Miroku shrugged his shoulders, running ahead. “This is my favorite class, and who knows, maybe InuYasha won't bother you?”

 

 “How could you guys not know he was in here?” she growled, glaring at the two.

 

Sango shrugged, “We missed a lot of school, and so did he…”

 

***

 

 

Kagome suddenly wished she had played sick and stayed in the locker room. She stood dumbly, clutching a red ball within her hands. She clenched her teeth together and tightened her grip on her `weapon'.

 

Of all things for the teacher to choose to play, he chose dodge ball…DODGE BALL! Since when do high-school kids play dodge ball?! WHEN?! But no, it's not as if her day dealing with the stupid white haired, incredibly arrogant and handsome hanyou had been bad enough. It's not as though they drove each other crazy. No. The teacher just HAD to give the ONE GUY in the whole school that hated her, a nice big ball to HURTLE AT HER FOREHEAD!

 

Not only did this teacher decide to play the most violent game in gym class history, but he figured he'd put on some nice music; nice aggressive music. No matter how innocent he appeared, the look in that hanyou's eyes was menacing. He stood, several feet before her, gripping his own weapon-of-Kagome's-destruction in his hands. His muscles were tensed and ready for action (not that she was complaining at the sight), and were undoubtedly ready to fire as well.

 

Kagome knew he was going to pelt that damn thing her way. But if he dared, he would come face to face with Sango's attack, since the longhaired girl was watching him like a hawk. She had gotten him out once before, but that had only added to his anger. It didn't really seem to faze Sango; she just bounced her projectile on the floor and walked away casually. Sly gal…

  

Swallowing the lump in her throat, Kagome dodged a ball coming from the left. Her eyes flashed up to see who had send it her way, and narrowed immediately. Miroku, the jerk!

 

He was always trying to show off in front of Sango! The raven-haired girl growled and sent her ball flying at the monk's turned head. As he went to look forward again, he was met with a rather large hurtling ball to the forehead.

 

“That's what you get you traitor!” she yelled, waving her fist at him.

 

“Oi! Kagome!” Sango yelled; ducking as a ball came her way. Kagome turned to see InuYasha ready to throw a ball her way. She panicked and barely caught the ball Sango had thrown to assist her. She then too, began charging. I'll show that jerk, she thought.

 

But before she realized what was happening, Kagome some how lost the traction between the waxed floor and her cleats, loosing her balance. She saw the shocked look on her enemies' face and he tried desperately to stop, but at his speed it was next to impossible. He came crashing down on Kagome, ball long lost in the chaos.

 

The air in Kagome's lungs seemed to escape her as she lay completely still beneath the Hanyou boy. Her heart was beating loudly in her chest, and she felt like she wasn't breathing at all. Of all the things that were not working, the blood that was rushing to her cheeks sure was. InuYasha was straddling her.

 

Clearly the boy had not even realized it; he was shaking his head and looking around the gym for his lost weapon. It wasn't until they were receiving hoots and whistles that he noticed their current position. Kagome lay beneath his hips and groin, hands still clutching her ball desperately.

 

In an act of embarrassment and revenge she flung the object at his head, screaming “HENTAI!”.

 

Miroku and Sango looked on, both watching in slight interest. Sango was the one who was practically seething, but the lecher on the other hand was very calm. When the girl grew angrier and had wanted to go over to the dog demon and young miko, he had merely put his arm out to stop her.

 

“Those two…are meant for each other.” He said very casually, earning him a look from the slayer… and a slap.

 

“Monk, you get the dog, I'll get the girl. Got it?”

 

“Hai Sango, hai.”
