Chapter 1: Introduction And The Proposition
Kagome awoke early so she would be able to reach her classes early. She ran towards her bathroom for a quick shower. After she had showered and got dressed in a light pink sweater and a dark wash pair of overalls and white sneakers, she ran downstairs and finished her breakfast as quickly as she could, now running out the door.
"Wait Kagome! you forgot your lunch." her mom said yelling at Kagome to come back and get her lunch.
"thanks mom" Kagome said as she gave her mom a hug and kiss, and hurriedly rushed out the door.
!!!BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!
Was the constant annoying sound of his alarm clock. "ugh, damn it all" he muttered under his breath as he pressed the snooze button, groggily rising from his bed. He rushed towards the shower clearly realizing he was late.
She arrived at her locker to obtain her things for her new classes.
"Hey Kagome!" Kagome turned, a girl wearing a simple green ankle length skirt and a bright magenta-red hued tank top approached her. Kagome smiled warmly.
"Hi Sango, Any news on the new test yet? " Kagome asked her friend.
"Nope, not yet" she replied to Kagome as they continued to walk down the hallway together.
This is a new school for both Kagome and Sango, there old school was burnt down almost a week ago and now they were transferred to Allview High School, which was surprisingly close to both of their homes, the hallways were big and spacious but was still pretty crowded during the day. Kagome and Sango both completely lost in their conversation Kagome bumped into someone.
"Hey wench! watch where your going!" A boy yelled at her.
Kagome was infuriated by this boy calling her a wench. She looked up at him. A boy with silky silver hair, bright amber eyes, He was wearing a big black leather coat with metal chains and metal buttons decorated all over his coat, a black wife beater with a big skull decorated on it, and dark wash Levi jeans. You could clearly tell the jacket was a little too big for him and hung off of his body really loosely.
"Who do you think you are! Calling me a wench!" Kagome yelled at the boy, infuriated looking directly into his bright amber eyes.
His brow rose slightly. He chuckled, allowing one fang to show.
"well apparently you didn't look at where you were going, therefore you bumped into me." He said in a cocky smugging manner, leaning his arm against the wall allowing his wife-beater to reveal his muscular figure.
Kagome was getting ready to say something but before she could he then shoved her out of his way and said
"hurry or you'll be late for class, dorks." Continuing down the rest of the hallway, the metal chains and whatnot clinking against his jacket.
"Who is that guy? I can't stand him whoever he is!" Kagome said to Sango.
"Well I don't blame you, he is popular you know" Sango said simply.
"This is gonna be a rough year isn't it?" Kagome asked.
"I guess so" Sango said, confirming Kagome's question.
"Alright everyone, now I expect all of you to be on your best behavior" the teacher said to everyone.
Kagome looked around the room and saw that boy that called her a wench earlier in the hallway. He was leaning back in his chair, looking as if he was going to fall back but held the chair with grace, and talking to his friend as he then began whispering really closely in one girls ear that was sitting next to him, almost biting the lobe of her ear sensually . She giggled.
"Inuyasha, your so bad." she whispered back at him.
He eyed her up and down licking his lips, like a beast in heat. It was disgusting!
"Kagome!!" the teacher yelled. she jumped in her chair not realizing how long she had been staring at him.
"Do you know the answer?" the teacher said eying Kagome.
Inuyasha laughed at her. Kagome just simply looked down at her desk, completely embarrassed by the whole situation. (What a great first day of school) she thought to herself.
The teacher shook her head and asked another student the answer. The day proceeded rather horribly, though it didn't stop with just the taunting and teasing from the silver haired boy, oh no. Inuyasha constantly kept throwing spit balls at her throughout the entire class and during another class they had together he kept copying her answers and seemed to get away with all of it! This left Kagome really irritated the rest of the day.
They finally got to lunch, relieved, Kagome sat down with her friends and continued talking about the infuriating and rather annoying Inuyasha. In the middle of her conversation another boy with brown hair and light brown eyes comes over to their table.
"Excuse me, are you Kagome?" the boy asked her.
"Yes?" she replied rather puzzled.
"Come with me, He wishes to see you." The boy simply said rather with a serious expression on his face, as he motioned her to follow him.
Moments later she had found herself willingly walking to the lair of the very man (rephrase) BOY that she loathes. He sat in between the cafeteria tables with his legs spread wide open and his hands behind his head. Kagome still completely bedazzled as to why he had summoned her to his lair. He eyed her up and down.
"ah the wench...I heard you were with your so called friends talking about me...care to share Kagome?" He said as that cocky smug attitude returned in his voice and face as well, smirking as his brow went up.
(Who does he think he is!! Thinks he's so hott!) she thought completely infuriated by his invasion of her conversation with her friends, He had no right dictating to her. She chose her words carefully. "Gladly" she said simply allowing her fury to get the better of her.
Someone had to tell him to his face, and hell why not. She gently shoved his friends that were cowering around him like he IS the king of the school. She plopped herself right next to him, only being a few feet away from each other to clearly let him know that she was not afraid of him. He rose abruptly, listening intently on what she was about to say, not that it mattered to him, though he did find her interesting somewhat.
"I was just telling my friends how much of an ego-maniacle, self absorbed, jackass you really are. Who the hell died and made you king? or better yet an Evil dictator? And how DARE you call me a wench you asshole!" She said clearly, eying him directly to let him know that she wasn't kidding.
All his friends gasped and began whispering amongst themselves. This slightly irritated him, but he wasn't going to let it show. He smirked allowing one fang to show. He got real close to her face and replied,
"Well, Mrs. Higurashi...thats your name right? I AM king of this school, and if I don't like what I hear I can get rid of you jus' like that, and I hope you'll forgive me I just assumed ALL girls like to be called a bitch. turns them on ya know? works for me." he stated to her flatly, then a near smile of enjoyment began to play upon his lips.
Her eyes were practically popping out of her eye sockets. She could not believe him, he really does enjoying tormenting other souls!
"Get her outta my face!" he stated blankly, and continued to flirt with the girls around his cafeteria table. She was forced back to her table in only a matter of minutes.
She was pissed, she felt the need to go and punch something, really hard. But for now she would swallow on her tongue. She hated him, and she would never be caught DEAD anywhere near him, or around him. Never.
Later that afternoon they had assembly in the cafeteria to discuss about the behavioral problems they had for the past week or so. Too bad Kagome had no idea on what they were talking about but irregardless she listened intently. Something strange caught her eye at Inuyasha's table.
"Hell no! I just ain't doin it, why the hell would I do something stupid like that?" Inuyasha replied practically yelling at him.
"Think about it Inuyasha, she's new and plus I overheard the girls talking in the locker room-" Miroku began to say until another man projected as he approached the table.
"Bet you were probably spying on them ya creep!" Kouga exclaimed hitting Miroku's back rather hardly causing Miroku to clear his throat.
"Anyway what ya guys talkin about?" Kouga asked sitting himself down at the table.
"Who invited you?" Inuyasha said standing up attempting to start a fight with Kouga.
Miroku rose to attempt to calm down his friend.
"Inuyasha calm down...it just makes what I was talking about more interesting." Miroku said his brow raising.
"Well, gentleman as i was saying before I was abruptly interrupted. All the other girls around this school shall I say NOT virgins. And besides we all could use a good fuck, especially that of a virgin." Miroku said smirking almost too gleefully.
Inuyasha blankly stared at him.
"I'm sorry Miroku I'm not a loser like you, I get laid when I damn well feel like it. And plus you know better than anyone that I don't have a problem with getting a girl to sleep with me." Inuyasha stated leaning back against the cafeteria table across from them.
Miroku fought back Inuyasha's claim.
"Yeah every other girl EXCEPT Kagome. You clearly remember how she told you off earlier at lunch." Miroku said to Inuyasha.
"Yeah well the bitch was annoying me." He replied slightly irritated by Miroku's insinuation.
Kouga interjected.
"You mean that new girl Kagome? She's a babe!" Now staring at Kagome sitting at the cafeteria table a 3 tables away from their table.
"I think I'm gonna puke" Inuyasha stated blankly and flatly, following a imitation of fake puking. Miroku continued talking about his idea.
"Hey Inuyasha, Kouga, Miroku what are ya'll talking about?" Shippo asked joining himself at the table, he was Inuyasha's friend after all, which is why Inuyasha allowed him to join their conversation.
"Shippo your such a sap, your fuckin' 17 years old, and you still haven't got a girlfriend yet have you?!" Inuyasha jokingly asked him nudging him in his arm.
"So gentleman, what do you think?" Miroku asked all of them at once.
"Well whats in it if we win?" Kouga asked.
"First we need at least one more person, to make the competition worth-while". Miroku stated rather firmly. They sat and thought for awhile.
"Hey! I know I'll ask Hojo if he can join us, be right back." Shippo said as he left the table to fetch his friend. Hojo and Shippo returned to the table, briefly discussing about Miroku's interesting proposition.
"So are you all in?" Miroku asked to confirm if everyone was in on this idea or not.
"Well hell I get to be with that new babe! Count me in, just don't come crying to me when I win the girls heart". Kouga professed confidently.
"Hardly gentleman, I think I'm the best bachelor to win Kagome's heart." Hojo stated hoping to cut down Kouga's confidence. Miroku glanced at Shippo.
"I'm not really sure guys, doesn't this feel a bit...well...wrong?" Shippo said, in a uncertain and caring way.
"Damn Shippo, you are such a virgin, are you in or out?!" Kouga asked him in a jokingly manner. Shippo shrugged his shoulders in response.
"Well, at least its not like she's ugly, yeah sure. Count me in." Shippo replied.
"Alright Shippo, don't worry I'll break ya in" Inuyasha said, rising from the cafeteria table that he was leaning on behind him. Shippo smirked.
"Hey Inuyasha, this is a competition ya know. You can kiss my sorry ass if you think I'm gonna willingly loose to you!" Shippo said confidently to all the guys crowding around the table.
"OOOOOHHH!!!" Everyone did, tugging on Inuyasha's jacket in response to what Shippo said. They settled down shortly waiting with anticipation on what Miroku was going to say.
"Of course you all know I'm in." He stated proudly. Miroku glanced at Hojo, awaiting a response. Hojo smiled.
"Of course I'm in, everyone know's that a lady loves a gentleman, so her heart is as good as mine." Hojo said. Everyone turned their attention to Inuyasha, Miroku awaiting his response. Inuyasha knew it.
"What?? I already told you NO! and plus she's a damn bitch." He said crossing his arms intending to let everyone know that he was serious. Miroku breathed a sighed.
"I didn't want to have to do this Inuyasha but you left me no choice, and seeing as I am the one who picks the top notch popular guy a.k.a Inuyasha if you win this bet. You will win Inuyasha's spot for THE REST OF THE YEAR." Miroku stated simply knowing it would reel them all in like fish.
"WHAT!!!" everyone exclaimed including Inuyasha.
"Miroku you can't do that! its mutiny!" Inuyasha yelled at Miroku.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, thats the rules." He said. Inuyasha eyed him,
"tch! fine, count me in. The title is mine to keep ya hear!?" Inuyasha said angrily leaning once again.
"Alright, the bet codename is: New year, meaning the new years eve dance we have at the school every year. If you get her to profess to you that she loves you, you win the title for the rest of the year and the $100.00 from each of us, which is $500.00 total. Now, if you get her to sleep with you you get $100.00 from each of us still, no profess, no title. Now to make this a bonus if you sleep with her ON the night of the new years eve dance party AND she professes that she loves you, you'll get $200.00 from each of us AND the title for 2 WHOLE YEARS. Remember this title follows you even when you go to college, so this is pretty serious. Just make sure you bring proof." Miroku said laying down the rules of his proposition.
"Alright! when do we start?" Kouga asked anxiously.
"Tonight, and I get to choose who's to make the first move on the girl." Miroku said smiling.
Kagome swung the door open slinging her backpack against the door. She looked around for her mother so she could tell her how her first day was at school. But apparently she wasn't home. She went to the kitchen to grab a snack from the fridge and found a note posted.
"Kagome I went to go get some groceries from the market. Souta will be home shortly, make sure you help him with his homework if he needs it. I'll see you when I get back. Love you -Mom". She placed the note on the kitchen table and proceeded upstairs to get started on her homework so she could catch her favorite T,V show that came on 5:00, usually right before dinner. She looked at the clock. "4:15pm". Good thing, because she was almost done her homework. While she was placing her completed work back into her folder the phone rang. She answered it.
"Hello Higurashi residence who am I speaking to?" Kagome said clearly waiting for a response.
"Shit!- Oh um, is Kagome there?" A boy asked.
"this is she?" Kagome said slightly confused.
"Oh uh, hey how ya doin wench? remember me?" Inuyasha said over the telephone.
She instantly became infuriated with him, just hearing his voice after all the torture he did to her during classes made her sick to her stomach. Her face slightly contorted.
"Oh its you- What do you want? did you call to find out the answers to your homework because your too stupid to figure it out yourself. Or maybe you just called me so you can vent out your frustrations and call me a whole bunch of names, cause if you did then you don't know what the heck you got coming to yo-" He cut her off.
"Wait Kagome! Just hear me out." He said hoping she would shut her mouth and let him talk. She stopped.
"I'm listening" She said trying to sound as calm as she possibly could. He breathed a deep sigh.
"Look, I'm sorry. You were right, we started off on the wrong foot. I wouldn't mind starting over if you don't mind starting over too." He said attempting to sound as sympathetic as possible.
"Whats the catch? Because clearly someone forced you to do this." Kagome replied, mildly shocked but would still never believe his apology. Not in a million years. Though it was different hearing it from him.
("Damn she's good") Inuyasha thought to himself, but played it off.
"So do you forgive me or what? if you don't believe me I'll uh-" He began to say.
"mhm?"
"Carry your books for you! whaddya say?" he said quickly trying to come up with something to say but failed, still hoping she would take the bait. There was a moments pause before she spoke again. She breathed a heavy sigh.
"Fine, so you'll carry my books for me tomorrow right?" Kagome said.
"Yeah" He replied simply. she breathed again and spoke.
"Well I gotta go, finish the rest of my homework" she was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled over the phone. "What?" She replied. There was a pause.
"What color underwear you have on?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome feeling completely invaded in privacy hung up the phone without even coming up with a smart insult to say to him. She was too pissed.
Inuyasha looked down at the floor of his room and smiled as he chuckled underneath his breath.
"Stupid girl" he said as he then laid back against his bed to turn on the television.
