My blabbering is now ceased!

:D






The rest of the day was rather sluggish. InuYasha casually drummed his fingers on his desk, his eyes currently gazing out of the nearby window. The sky was an amazing blue grayish color, many white clouds blocking the sun. His ears twinged, the teacher's words going in and out of them. He sighed, realizing his thoughts were defiantely elsewhere.

'That stupid girl actually slapped me.'

He couldn't believe it; she actually worked up the nerve to hit him! He scowled.

'That wrethced wench. How dare she slap me for telling the truth? She's probably just salty because I caught on to her little game.'

The sound of the bell broke his thoughts. 6th period was dismissed. He stood, along with all of the other students, and momentarily stretched. He grabbed his backpack after shoving his materials inside, and headed out of the room. As always, the halls were crowded. He managed to get by, and soon entered his 7th period classroom. Too enthralled in his thoughts, he didn't see the collision that was about to occur. Another student had accidentally bumped into him, sending their papers flying across the floor. Huffing, he gazed up to see who it was. His mouth formed a twisted grin. The oh so familiar girl looked up at him while retrieving her papers, glaring at him menacingly.

"Well, Well, Well, if it isn't Kagome," he cooed, taking full advantage of this precious opportunity. He was going to make her life a living hell for toying with him. She sneered, and slowly stood, papers now in hand. "What is it, InuYasha?" she asked nonchalanty. He held a smug look.

"What's wrong princess? You seem a little distraught. Is it because I figured out your little game?"

Oh, he was enjoying this.

She squinted at him, her fingers curling into the palm of her hand. "I feel sorry for you." She had said those words so coldy, surprising him. "You feel sorry for me? Hell, you should feel sorry for yourself, since I figured out that you-"

"Shut up."

He raised a brow, his anger growing. "Who the hell do you think you are?" he spat out.

"You're so achingly oblivious. Someone tries to help you, and -"

He snarled.

"You wanted something from me, you idiot! How the hell is that helping me?"

She inhaled, clinching and unclinching her fists.

"InuYasha, I was going to make you promise to always come to me when you needed help. That was the favor I was asking of you. You're so ready to stereotype me with everyone else, and for that reason, I feel sorry for you."

She spun on her heel and stormed toward her seat, the desk scraping loudly across the floor as she did so. His mouth dropped slightly at her reaction.

'That's what she wanted? For me to promise her that? No way, she's lying.'

The feeling that twisted in his gut told him otherwise. He cursed.

'Damnit, the wench wasn't lying.'

He slowly took his seat, still pondering over the situation. So, if she was telling the truth, should he apologize?

'Pfft, to hell with that. Wench ain't that important.'

"Ahem, I've got some important news, class!" Announced the teacher, who happened to be a raccoon dog. The chatter ceased, and all eyes landed on him. "There will be a field trip next week to the Saiyagushi Biochemistry Museum! It will be a free trip. If you are under the age of eighteen then you must have a Parent/Guardian permission slip signature to be allowed, if you are eighteen, however, it is totally up to you!" The students began chatting among themselves. The red headed fox demon raised her hand.

"Yes, Ayame?"

"How long will we be gone?" She asked, wearing a sly smile.

"The trip is from 8:30 until the end of school." Some of the students cheered. InuYasha sat back in his chair, weighing his options.

'I aint no fan of Biochem, so I sure as hell don't want to go on this trip.'

"What if we don't want to go?" asked Kagome softly. All eyes were on her, eyeing her suspiciously. "Why wouldn't you want to go?" one of the students asked. Kagome chuckled. InuYasha raised a brow.

' I wonder why she wouldn't want to go.'

"I didn't say that. I was just curious," she quickly explained. Mr. Hotchi cleared his throat. "Well, Kagome, if a student does not desire to attend this trip, then they will stay behind doing paperwork." 'Oh, the hell with that. I'm going,' The hanyou thought, grateful Kagome asked that question. The class progressed, and eventually, after multiple equations, the bell rang. The students rushed out of the room in a hurry. As they went into the hallway ,two friends greeted Kagome. "Kagome!" Sango yelled, fighting her way through the incredible crowds. The girl looked up, seeing her friend struggle.
InuYasha exited behind the girl, seeing this lady named Sango approach her. Not too far from Sango was the familiar boy he had encountered the day before. "Hi Sango!" Kagome greeted brightly. Miroku followed behind Sango, wearing a grin.

"Hi Kagome! You look as beautiful as ever!"

His eyes drifted to the hanyou not too far behind her.

"InuYasha? I didn't know you had a class with Kagome!"

The girls diverted their attention to him. InuYasha rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"I don't see how that's anything to brag about."

Sango and Miroku's eyes widened, while Kagome's cheeks turned red from anger. "I wouldn't exactly call you something to brag about either," she snapped. He glared at her. "I swear you're a bitch," he grumbled, his index finger and thumb pressing against the very top of his nose in frustration. She gasped. She had never been called something so derogatory. Sango frowned. "How dare you call her that?" she spat out, her fists clinched. Miroku sighed. "I'm sure InuYasha didn't mean it," he said softly. The hanyou glared at him.

"Says who? The hell I meant it!"

Kagome felt tears forming in her eyes again. "I don't understand you," she whispered, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. He felt a gnawing feeling in his stomach, seeing tears on her pretty face once again. His ears flattened defeatedly against his head. "I didn't do a thing to you, InuYasha." She sniffed and continued. "Just because you aren't used to people being kind, you verbally cripple someone who is. I didn't do anything for you to talk to me that way." Her words tore through him. He gulped.

'She's right.. she didn't do anything to me..'

"Listen," he began, scratching the back of his head. She put a finger to his lips, and hiccuped. "Save it. I won't bother you ever again, I swear." She pulled Sango by the hand and led her friend toward the exit of the school. InuYasha sighed, his eyes never leaving her figure. "What happened between you two?" Miroku asked softly. "I've never seen her so upset."
"She's..an idiot," InuYasha mumbled.

"But I'm an even bigger one. Damn girl made me feel.."

"Like an asshole?"

The hanyou glared at Miroku evilly. He quickly shoved his hands in front of his face, shaking them. "Just giving suggestions! But seriously, Kagome is..really fragile, warm hearted." The hanyou huffed.

"I figured that much out."

His feet grounded against the pavement continuously. He had decided that he would walk home in the afternoons, not passing up the chance to get some decent excercise. That damn thing called a conscience was beating him up.

'Damn that foolish girl. Damn her sensitivity. Why couldn't she just leave me alone like everyone else?'

"You're a waste of space. Why would the Kamis curse me with a son such as yourself?" InuTashio shouted, his eyes blazing. InuYasha's ears flattened against his head. Before he could reply, Sesshomaru entered the kitchen. "Do not waste your breath on him, Father. Surely you realize that a mutt isn't worth it." InuYasha growled.

"What gives you the right-"

"Silence!"

InuTaisho interrupted, slamming his fist down on the countertop. He rubbed his temples afterwards, as if they would rid him of such a curse.

"The Gods are not answering my prayers, I swear. The only reason your still here is because of that wretched mortal."

InuYasha scowled, bawling his fists.

"Don't you talk about my mother!"

The demon grimaced.

"You don't deserve to live, I hope you realize that."

Something inside of the hanyou boiled at his father's words. He felt something in his brain snap. "Scurry off, InuYasha. Stop wasting space down here. Father and I are about to have a talk," Sesshomaru said coldly. InuTaisho smiled, welcoming his words. "Yes, my only true son and I are about to spend some quality time. Leave." The Gods gave InuYasha the strength to bite his tongue and stomp upstairs, shutting his door as he did so.

As the days passed, the hanyou noticed Kagome had kept to her promise; she ignored him completely. Didn't even spare him a glance. Every now and then in the hallway, the girl named Sango sneered at him.

'Oh great, another one is after my sanity.'

As much as he hated to admit it, Kagome was bothering him. Her ignoring him made his conscience eat him alive.

It was final.

'I'll have to apologize to that damned girl.'

It was the day of the field trip, and the students began to board the buses. InuYasha slowly walked down the aisle, his eyes scanning for a vacant seat. They rested on Kagome. She was sitting alone. This could be his chance. Gulping, he slowly approached her seat. Like always her eyes found the window to be the most interesting thing in the world, for she didn't notice him. She felt a sudden weight collide with her's on the seat, and her eyes shot up, looking straight at him. He cleared his throat. "Um..Hi." He managed, hoping she'd be forgive him instantly.

She didn't.

Instead, her head turned back toward the window, ignoring him completely. He ran his hand over his face, sighing.

'Of course this wench has to be as stubborn as me.'

"Listen wen-er, Kagome. I wanted to.."

'Damnit, just say it!'

Her eyes were fixed on him now, and for a moment, she watched him struggle, then sighed. "You don't have to apologize, InuYasha. I shouldn't have-" "Shush, you stupid girl!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry, ok? You didn't really do anything bad to me..."

She smiled. He mentally winced at how that small smile gave him butterflies.

"I forgive you, InuYasha." She was wearing that grin like it was the latest style.

He groaned.
