Kagome cringed.. Inuyasha was the most difficult person to be paired up with in a project. He never pulled his own weight or so she heard. But what she knew for sure was that he was rude as hell. She felt him tap gently on her shoulder.

" We should start working on this project right away. I'm REALLY eager to get to know you intimately." Inuyasha said in a suave voice smirking at Kagome making her very uncomfortable. Kagome raised an eyebrow in confusion at his choice of words.

" Yeeaaa.." 'Great now you sound like an imbecile.' Kagome thought to herself.

" I would love to take you out to lunch today. That is if you care to join me." Kagome bit her lip thinking. He was smiling a very toothy white smile at her and his bright amber eyes were filled with hope. She had to admit he was extremely gorgeous and his offer was very tempting. But that look in his eyes that hope had something dark mixed in, like he had ulterior motives.

" Umm.. I can't sorry!" She said just as the bell rang and she rushed out the door pulling Sango out with her. Inuyasha stood up slowly. He'd never been turned down like that before, no girl EVER ran from him like that. He thought she would've been so easy to get. Damn. He'd have to pull out the big guns for this girl.

" And you turned him down?!?!" Eri screeched at Kagome during lunch. "But..What..Why..You turned him DOWN?!"

" Yea..." Her friends shook their heads at Kagome's apparent stupidity.

" You can't turn down a man like Inuyasha Takahashi.. He's.. He's." Yuka just sighed and smiled to Kagome.

" He's rude, arrogant, self centered and a complete baka. Sure he's not visually displeasing to the eyes but his looks make up for the lack of brains." Kagome said taking a sip from her water bottle.

" Don't you think you're being a bit harsh Kagome?" Ayumi asked Kagome who shook her head. "He could be worse!"

" Yea Kagome what's so bad about him? That he's interested in you? That he's an absolutely beautiful specimen of man? That he's rich and has a nice car?" Eri said counting his qualities on her fingers.

" If you do ever go out with him would you tell us?" Sango asked. Kagome just laughed uncontrollably and wiped her eyes.

" Yea.. but me ever date him?! NEVER! You've seen the girls he's associated with! They never have the best reputation and I'll be damned if I become a notch in his bedpost!" With that the lunch bell rang for afternoon classes to begin.

After school Kagome waved at her friends goodbye as she left to walk home. Suddenly a BMW pulled up in front of her as she tried to cross the street. 'My God! That car almost killed me!!!' The dark tinted passenger window rolled down.

" Are you trying to kill somebody?!?!" Kagome screamed and stooped down to look into the window. She eeped when she saw it was Inuyasha sitting in the drivers seat. He smiled at her and she gulped audibly.

" Here." He said handing her flowers. " For almost running you down." Kagome blushed and shook her head no.

" That's okay. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to woo me. When did you even have time to get flowers? School just got out." Inuyasha chuckled.

" I never go to my afternoon classes."

"Tsk tsk. That's a good way not to graduate." Kagome said sticking her tongue out at the handsome hanyou.

" Feh I go enough to at least pass with a D… Did you need a ride home?" Kagome shrugged.

" Not really, I always walk home." Kagome adjusted her heavy yellow backpack on her back.

" Someone as pretty as you shouldn't be walking home all alone. I'm giving you a lift." Kagome couldn't help but laugh in her head. It didn't sound so much like an offer as it did sound like an order.

" You know you're not winning any points for trying to butter me up. But I will accept that ride. I live at the Higurashi shrine." Kagome said opening up the door to get into the car.

" Why didn't you want to go to lunch with me?" Inuyasha asked as they pulled out of the school parking lot. He lit up a cigarette and opened his window.

" I've seen the girls you've hung out with Inuyasha.. " Kagome said her mind thinking of one in particular.. Kikyou.

" But what if I want to change? What if I want a girl who's like you beautiful, smart, generous, genuine, and amazing. A girl who's really special!" 'That's gotta be the best on the spot bullshitting I've ever done.' Thought Inuyasha with pride or at least until Kagome began to laugh.

" I'm sure in your head that bullshit was grade A but I'm a little smarter than that." Inuyasha's ears flattened and so did his ego. He drove on almost silently trying to plot, trying to think of a way to sweep her off her feet or at least make it so she lets her guard down. He pulled up to the shrine. Kagome was a little worried, he'd been quiet for the past 5 minutes. “Well I've gotta go out to dinner with my family. Thanks for the ride.”

" Mmhmm." Inuyasha said leaning towards her. He could smell her uneasiness it was obscuring her wonderful scent of flowers in spring. "Why do you hate me so much?" He was close now, too close for her.

" I-I don't hate you!" She stuttered turning her face from him. He leaned closer, closer still, way too close dammit. This guy was going to try and kiss her! Kagome slapped him. " I don't hate you. I just refuse to be one of your conquests. If we're going to have to do this project together I suggest you keep your hands to yourself." Inuyasha sat there in amazement. This girl just slapped him. " If you can't do that then I think I'd rather take the F... I can afford one F.. but can you?" Her voice was filled with a kind of venom that frightened him.

" Uhh." Was the only thing he could think off. He couldn't think of anything to say to her. She just slapped him when he tried to kiss her. Conquering her is going to take SERIOUS work. Maybe the puppy dog look will work. He lowered his head, " I'm-I'm sorry Kagome. I took advantage of your kindness."

" Don't give me that crap Inuyasha. The fake puppy dog look, trying to make me feel bad so I'll kiss you. Go to hell Inuyasha." With that Kagome got out of the car, slammed the door and stomped up the many many stairs back up to her house.
