Chapter 2
 
This couldn't be happening. The gods couldn't love her this much.
 
Wait . . . the rest of the school year with him? Two months and she would have to spend time with him? This wasn't happening; this couldn't be happening! Breathe in. Breathe out.
 
Kagome stole a look at him and breathed in. She was going to spend the rest of the school year with him; she had hope. She forgot why she had to spend time with him; she just recognized that she might have a chance.
 
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
 
Great. Kikyo was not going to be his partner. Plain girl was going to be it instead. Fucking fantastic, a boring next two months.
 
As class ended he rushed out of the classroom with Miroku trailing behind him. Inuyasha quickly turned around, making Miroku run into him. “Fuck! How could this happen, this can't be happening. This year was supposed to be end with a bang, not a quiet boom.”
 
Miroku wondered how to say this without getting hurt, “Maybe she's more fun than you know.”
 
Inuyasha shot him a glare. Miroku quickly looked away, “Dude, Kikyo was never going to happen, you didn't talk to her.”
 
“Keh.”
 
“Anyway, when are you going to meet with Kagome?”
 
“How the hell should I know? She said something about this afternoon to meet in front of school, but hell, I don't want to.” Inuyasha walked into his next class and took out his books and looked towards Miroku. “Why do I have to be stuck with plain girl? You should have gotten her; at least you would've appreciated her.”
 
“Yeah right, I was lucky enough to get lovely Sango as my partner. The gods were on my side.”
 
“Yeah, the gods seemed to be on everyone's side except mine.”
 
The teacher looked around as the two boys sat down, “Okay class let us get started on today's lesson.”
 
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
 
That afternoon Kagome quickly headed towards the front of the school to wait for Inuyasha. She waited, and waited, and she waited. Thirty minutes later he finally arrived. She was angry, but decided that she would let it pass- he was worth it.
 
“Okay, let's do this.”
 
“Well, sure, um. . .”
 
“Come on wench, it's not that hard, spit it out!”
 
Kagome glared at him, “Do not call me a wench. My name is Kagome!”
 
“Whatever.”
 
“Anyway,” Kagome gave him another look, “I thought we could head over to my house. I live at the Higurashi shrine.” She hoped he was just shy and rough on the surface and that his attitude wouldn't last forever.
 
“Why do we need to go over to your house? We don't even have the fuckin' sack of flour yet.”
 
“Fine. We won't go over to my house.”
 
“Keh. Told ya so.” He crossed his arms and glanced around. “Are we done now? Jesus, I need to go do some things, not waste my time with you.”
 
She sighed, “Yeah, we're done. I guess I'll see you tomorrow.” Without another word, Inuyasha turned around and headed down the street.
 
As she watched him walk away she knew she didn't have a chance in hell. Then again, she thought to herself, maybe she didn't want that chance. What an asshole . . .
 
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
 
Inuyasha smirked. He knew she was watching him walk down the street. He turned the corner and stopped. Looking around, he wondered what to do; he had a whole afternoon to waste. At least he got out of that, he thought to himself. He was right from the beginning, she was plain. Well, she showed a little fire at the beginning, he thought. But for some reason, she went straight back to being plain.
 
 
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
 
The next day at school kids hurried to class and two people could be seen slowly walking. Inuyasha and Miroku had their backpacks on and were headed towards school, but they did not rush- they really didn't feel homeroom was that important.
 
“So, Inuyasha, what's the plan for you and Kagome?” Miroku fiddled with his purple shirt and glanced at Inuyasha.
 
Inuyasha scowled, “Stop asking me that! Nothing is the plan. I don't like her- she's plain.”
 
Miroku turned towards Inuyasha, “How many times do I have to teach you the ways of the men? Appreciate women, no matter what they look like, or what their personality is -you always have a chance for some action.” Inuyasha hit him over the head, and Miroku winced. It always hurt.
 
“I am not a lech!”
 
“Fine, Inuyasha, miss out on the glory. You can't get a girl anyway- you are either too shy or an ass.”
 
“Keh.”
 
“Yes, Inuyasha. Keh back at you.”
 
The two boys finally reached their destination and walked into class to sit down. Inuyasha looked around and spotted Kagome. Damn, she was in this class, too? How many classes of his was she in? He made sure to sit across the room from her. He didn't want to give her any ideas.
 
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
 
Kagome spotted Inuyasha the same moment he had spotted her. Great. She really liked him, but he was too arrogant. She thought to herself that she just have to make the best of it!
 
She saw him sit across the room from her and she put her head down. Oh well. It was probably for the best; anyway, she did have to sit next to him during biology class.
 
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
 
The day went on and biology class came too quickly for both Inuyasha and Kagome.
Ms. Kaede stood at the front of the class as students slowly came into class. She all knew that they dreaded this assignment. Reluctantly, each student sat next to their partner and shyly looked at them. Except for Inuyasha, not only did he scoot his desk away from hers, he glared at her. In retaliation, Kagome looked at him and stuck her tongue out.
 
Ms. Kaede gave her a reprimanding look and turned to the class, “Okay, kids, today is the first assignment. I will be handing out a five pound sack of flour for each set of `parents.' This assignment will last for two months and each Wednesday, such as today, you will receive a specific goal for the week that you have to accomplish by the next Wednesday.” She looked around the class to make sure each student was paying attention.
 
“Now, to make sure no cheating has occurred, I have marked each bag.”
 
One of the kids raised their hand, “Ms. Kaede, where is that mark?”
“Nice try. Each bag has a different mark. There is no way you can figure it out and try to copy it on another bag. I have done this for a very important reason- the main goal of the two months is not to break the bag!”
 
A groan went across the classroom and Inuyasha leaned towards Kagome, “Yeah, right. Like that is going to happen. Fat chance.” Kagome breathed in and nodded her head- she couldn't think when he was that close.
 
Kagome took the chance to raise her hand. “Yes, Kagome?”
 
“Ms. Kaede, what is our first assignment for the week?”
 
“Oh, thank you. I had completely forgotten about the weekly assignment.” She walked to her desk and picked up a stack of papers. “For this week, you not only have to fill out some paperwork about your new child, but you also have to create a plan on how you are going to raise you child.
 
“Things such as diet, education, play toys, and things one would need their first year of life.”
 
She started walking around the classroom, passing out packets for the paperwork and criteria for that week's assignment. “I have another requirement for this assignment.” She paused. “Each set of parents has to fill out a blog of time they have spent together with their child. Remember, you are not divorced, you are a family. So, I am requiring at least ten hours a week- this includes weekends! You can do it anyway you like. Five hours a day on the weekend, an hour each week day and a few hours on the weekend, or even all in one day. You will need to explain what you did- if you took your baby to the park, mall, amusement park, et cetera.”
 
The class gave out a larger groan and many seemed disappointed. Miroku was thrilled and Inuyasha was pissed. Kagome, on the other hand, was apprehensive. What would this mean? How would she explain his behavior to her parents?
 
“Okay, class. Make sure you fill out these papers and spend time with your new family. We will continue discussing the textbook except on Wednesday, so make sure you work on this project. One more thing- school time does not count as family time!”
 
The bell rang and the class filed out. Kagome ran to catch up with Inuyasha who was quickly walking out the door.
 
“Inuyasha, where do you want to meet?” She pulled his arm to make him stop. He turned around and scowled.
 
“I don't care. Just do whatever.”
 
“I can't `do whatever!'” She handed him the sack of flour. “This is our new kid! Plus, I need a good grade in this class. So, where do you want to meet?”
 
“Keh. Fine. How about the shrine you were talking about?” He leaned on one foot and sighed. This wasn't how he wanted to finish his year.
 
“That sounds great!” Kagome knelt to get paper and pen out of her backpack and wrote something. “Here are the directions. Is four okay? I thought we could just spend an hour for today. You know, filling out the paper work. We have to give our kid a name.”
 
“Keh. I'll see you then.” He turned and abruptly left. Kagome got up to her feet, “Sure, okay. See you then,” she whispered to herself. These next two months were going to be hell- so much for her dream guy.
 
Author's Note: So sorry about the wait. I wanted to plan exactly how I wanted to write this story. I think I have most of the idea, so it won't be as long as wait. If you guys can give me ideas for names, that would be great! Hope you enjoyed, and please review!
