=========================================================== ==========================

‘How can it be that the one time that you want something to go right, it just doesn’t’

Kagome made her way to the cafeteria fuming the whole time. She just couldn’t believe it, how is it that she comes prepared the first day of class with everything set for the new school year and then in one millisecond everything takes a turn for the worst. And all because of one guy that has made your life a living hell since the day that you set your eyes on him.

‘I thought that this year it was going to be different. I thought that if I looked totally different; he would have just looked me over and dismissed me. Why can’t he just pick on a freshman or something?’It was her junior year at Shikon High. Her best friend missed the first day thinking that Kagome would be alright. If she found out what that bastard did to her, he would lose interest in her quickly. She knew that it was her own fault that everything was happening to her but she just couldn’t do anything remotely mean. She didn’t have it in her but if that boy kept pushing her than she was going to snap. A person could only be nice for so long.

She had just walked to school feeling great, thinking that nothing could possibly go wrong. She had decided to wear a denim skirt that came to her mid thigh, a white blouse over her black tank top, and to pull the outfit together she wore her black ballet slippers. All in all she thought she looked wonderful and she must have been right because the first person to see her was Kouga and that memory still made her giggle.
“Wow Kagome talk about change, you look absolutely ravishing today. Mind if I escort you to class, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you in this big bad school.”

Kagome could never keep a straight face around Kouga he always made her laugh no matter how bad she felt.

“Of course” she replied, giving him her hand in the process.

They walked with linked arms through the halls, not that it was a big deal. Everyone at the school knew that there was nothing serious between them. Don’t be mistaken at one point he had tried to woo Kagome but he knew that for all intensive purposes there was nothing there and he decided that it be best to stay by her side and defend her honor.

Kouga had taken that vow seriously; if any one was rude to her in any way, shape or form they would pay the consequences dearly. Every one had taken to that new occurrence well. No one at the school really had a problem with Kagome, after all she was a sweetheart and helped everyone out whenever the need arose.

However there was always Inuyasha, no one could really explain why he hated Kagome so much only that he did. So ever since anyone could remember Kouga and Inuyasha had been mortal enemies and would be until the day that Inuyasha could behave properly around Kagome. Since everyone in the school knew that it would never happen, their fights were legendary among the students. Any time Inuyasha picked on Kagome and Kouga wasn’t there it resulted in a huge fight at lunch the very same day.

“So why is my woman so blue?”

“It’s nothing”

Kouga stopped in the middle of the hallway and lifted his hand toward her face. ”Are you going to start lying to me now after all this time that I have known you?”

“Okay but its stupid.”

“Did that mutt say something to you; if he did I swear to you that I will hurt him.”

“No Kouga that’s not it. I had done my hair really nice for school today and it got all messed up on my way to school that’s all.”

Kouga seemed to stop and think about her answer. Even though he might seem stupid that isn’t always the case.

“Oh well maybe next time you should put more hairspray in it, that always does the trick for me.”

Again with jokes, see what I mean he always puts a smile on my face no matter what is going on.

“Well this is my stop, see you later.”

“And later I will see you and be careful with the jack ass in that class. If he does anything to you or even looks at you wrong I will gladly kick his ass.”

As I turned around I could clearly see who it was that my knight in shining armor was referring to. Right at end of the row was King Inuyasha himself. Like I said why couldn’t I just have one good day, am I really that unlucky.

“Well well well if it isn’t the ugly duckling herself. So you decided to show yourself, damn you must be asking for it.”

Why the hell can’t he leave me alone, I mean when have I ever done anything to him. I have been nothing but nice to him and here he is being an ass like always. Forget about this and about the way that it has always been, I said that this year I was turning a new chapter in the book called Kagome and that is what I plan to do. So here goes nothing.

“Why don’t you just shut up?”

Inuyahsa could not believe his ears, and apparently neither could the class judging by the whispers all over the room. Did she go crazy or something?

“Are you okay, I mean you must have a fever or some other illness to be talking as if you meant something to any one around here? Oh no maybe you finally did crack, are you losing it as we speak. Do you think I need to call 911?”

The class was quiet all around, everyone was flabbergasted. Ever since she transferred last year Inuyasha had always made her life a living hell, yet here she was finally steeping up to him.

That little mutt who does he think he is talking to me like that. He should be happy that I only said that to him, but he has pushed it too far.

“What did a cat bite your tongue? Let’s hope not because your breath probably killed it.”

Kagome saw him laughing but noticed that everyone was quiet around them. No one in the school appreciated how mean Inuyasha was to her. The only reason that they didn’t say anything was because he wasn’t always mean. He was actually decent to everyone but her. The only difference between this instance and all the times that it happened last year was that now she wasn’t the ‘ugly duckling’ anymore she had finally grown out of her baby fat and looked nothing like she had last year.

Kagome took her sweet time making her way to stand directly in front of Inuyasha but when she did she looked him straight in the eye and said “You only wish that you were the cat that got my tongue”

With that she made her way toward her seat that just happened to be right in front of Inuyahsa and acted as if nothing had transpired between the two. She could feel Inuyasha staring at her the entire time in class. I cannot believe that I said that to him, Oh my lord jesus. How could I say that to him? Well at least I know that no one heard me. With that thought she forgot about everything that was happening and decided to spend the rest of the time in class concentrating on her work. After all it was math which was her worst subject. So like it or not she had to pay attention or else she would fail.

Inuyasha in the mean time had no idea where she found the nerve to say that to him. She must have grown courage with all the bodily structures that she had grew during the summer. Yes he had to admit it to himself at least, Kagome was looking good. But he new that train of thought only led to disaster. That was something that his gut instinct told him. After all there was something funny about her ever since he met her last year. He wasn’t an asshole to any one, but she was different. Something about her just made him tick and no matter what he did and how many times he tried to stop he just could not say something nice to her because it was like a total blackout. He would be thinking of saying something nice to her and then he would space out and come to when she was either running away from him or crying, there was of course those times when that mangy wolf intervened and he would come to with a black eye and a sore jaw. That was always fun, he always knew that it was her fault that he ended up the way that he did.

So now that he had his mind set on what he was going to do next he lifted his hand and did the unthinkable.

Kagome was sitting at her desk trying to decipher the words coming out of her teacher’s mouth but all she heard was Blah Blah Blah. The next thing she knew she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked down to find Inuyasha handing her a note. She looked at it indifferently, instead she focused on his hand, this must be a dream king Inuyasha was touching her and not screaming.

“Take it and read it, that is what you do with a note,”

Giving him the evil eye, she turned back toward the front of the classroom with the note in her hand.

She opened up the note and could not believe her eyes. There was no way that the note said what she thought it said. She read it over and over again but came back to the same conclusion. There it was written in black ink, what are you doing after school? She looked over her shoulder and sure enough there was Inuyasha staring at her as if waiting for an answer. What should she do, she could throw the letter in his face or she could answer him politely. He had always treated her badly but then again maybe he was also deciding to change things in his life. So she answered him and passed the note back to him.

Inuyasha grabbed the letter and could hardly wait to see what she wrote back. She must think that he is some kind of bipolar freak; after all he was her version of a sworn enemy. Well there was no reason to live in the past she was paying attention to him now, in his book that meant that he had a clear slate to do with what he may. He didn’t know how it happened but it was as if he got hit by a sledgehammer. Now it didn’t bother him when Kagome walked into a room; he didn’t get angry instead he got nervous. It was strange the way he felt when she was around him. So having these thoughts he opened the note and saw her response.

‘Nothing special why do you ask? ’ He wrote back without a second thought, tapping her shoulder he handed her the note.

‘Meet me at the beach by the pier at seven o’clock?’

Whoa, he’s asking me out this must be some sort of dream. Well there is nothing wrong with fantasizing, here goes nothing. She reached over her shoulder to give him the letter just as the teacher reached out at the same time and took the letter from her.

“Well what do we have here? You know Higurashi this calls for a detention and if I may be as bold as to ask, who may this letter be for?”

Kagome could not believe her luck, this was supposed to be her fantasy and it was turning out into her nightmare. She decided to let herself be humiliated, putting her head down she surrendered to her fate.

“Well what do we have here, I believe that it is my duty as an educator of the young to share with the class what it is that you and someone else in this class find so interesting.”

Perfect he doesn’t know who else was writing on the note. This means that there won’t be any rumors because people would never suspect that I have something going on with my arch enemy.

“Well are any of our young scholarly men willing to confess to writing this note to our beloved Higurashi?”

As the teacher looked around, Kagome sneaked a glance at her secret partner. Once eye contact was established they looked at each other. They looked away at the same time but they were both thinking the same thing, it was so funny that two people that thought they were worlds apart were in all actuality more alike than they ever thought was possible.

“Well I guess that the fact that no one is manning up and taking the blame for committing the crime, I hope that this shows Higurashi that this boy is not as mighty as you think he is. I mean it is obvious that he is a coward but I guess you won’t really listen to what I have to say about this will you? The youth of today really is shallow, vain and dimwitted, oh the shame.”

“I really am sorry Mr.Hakamumu I can promise that this will never happen in your class ever ever again.” And at the end of this rather pathetic apology I couldn’t help but bat my eyelashes at him. If you really think about it I am the teachers pet and the teacher was expecting this behavior from a student of my level. Even if that little display earned more than a few giggles around me, I still got away with a slap on the wrist when most students would have ended up with a weeks worth of detention. So I just sat back and relaxed while the teacher forgave and forgot all about that little accident.

Inuyasha could not believe what he was seeing; she was totally manipulating the teacher. How the hell could one little girl reduce a man to so little just by blinking a few times, who cares if it was sexy as hell. That little trick of hers would have never worked on me; I am a man of caliber and with that title come a few responsibilities. Among those being the ability to look passed the alluring sexy feminine wiles of one of, or maybe even the hottest girl I have ever seen. Since I know that I am protected I might as well make a move right?

Kagome could feel his breath tickling her ear, she couldn’t help that pulse of warmth that coursed up her spine neither could she resist the sigh that fell from her lips. She leaned her head a little so that he could do whatever it was that he wanted to do. Wait that wasn’t right, that’s not what I meant by that comment. I leaned back so that I could hear him better. I mean it was kind of obvious that he wanted to say something to me and the fact that we couldn’t pass notes to each other only left one option right?

“So are we on for tonight”

With a nod of her head the deal was sweetly sealed and tonight was going to be the beginning of a long series of sweetly everlasting yet torturous events. With that final note the bell rung and everyone one was on their way to their next class.
