1: Meeting Mr. Rudeness
Sesshoumaru Tenaka walked down the halls of his newest school wondering when it would all end. He had six months left of high school and then he would be free. He was eighteen and still in this prison; he had been held back when he was young because his mother had been murdered so his father thought he needed a year to grieve, which had been a source of his embarrassment for years.
He could've skipped it all but decided he liked getting away from Inutaisho, his father and Inoko, his father's fourth wife, even if it was only for a few hours a day.
He kept his eyes forward as his mind wandered to the numerous women he had bedded in the last year, then he thought about the dangers of leaving his newly detailed motorcycle in the school parking lot. The first bell rang as he stalked toward the classroom when out of nowhere a short figure bumped into his back.
He turned to see a red haired sophomore on her knees, gathering her books off the floor. He stooped down to help her like the gentleman his mother taught him to be. Grabbing what ever books were left as she rose, the first title he saw was "Tithe: a modern fairytale". He looked at her pale, freckled, blushing face and noticed she didn't have a stitch of make-up on. She had unruly blood red hair and torn, faded jeans and a green t-shirt that said "monkey see monkey do" and a nicely sized chest, if a little big for her short stature, she had to have been about 5'1 maybe 5'3 with her shoes on, which was perfectly okay with him.
"Watch where you're going next time." Came out of his mouth before he thought about it. "I said I was sorry. I guess you were to busy staring at my chest to notice." She said as she grabbed her books and walked away. He clenched his fist and was about to go after her when the teacher called him into the classroom.

Tora Jen Toshi or Tj had just met the rudest man ever. Yes, he was gorgeous, but in a tall, dark and annoying sort of way. She walked swiftly to her class room while trying to shake the thoughts of that rude senior in the hall.
She met her friends at the door and proceeded in telling them of her incident with the hallway guy.
"He stared at my chest longer than necessary. And he was all like 'watch where you're going next time'. And he was gorgeous in a rude kind of way." She said as she sat at her desks and watched her friends; Kagome, Sango and Ayame sit in their desks around her. "Wow. What did he look like?" asked Ayame, who couldn't keep herself away from the older school boys.
"I don't know I didn't pay…well he had long silvery hair and he was very tall considering."
"Considering?" Kagome raised an eyebrow at her.
"Considering how short I am, he was I guess about 6' or taller. And his eyes, holy crap his eyes…" she trailed off as the teacher walked in. She had always been a straight A student and kind of a suck up.
Her friends sat back knowing she wouldn't talk until after class.

She sat at the lunch table waiting for her friends to break away from their boyfriends, and come join her. She pulled out her sketchbook and started to draw without thinking. Her hand moved steadily and swiftly as the hallway guy started to form on the page.
"Why are you drawing my asshole brother." Said a voice from behind her. She whirled around and saw Kagome holding hands with a boy that looked similar to her drawing. He was gruffer, younger looking, more rough around the edges. "I was just drawing some guy I bumped into earlier. He's you're brother?" she asked as she noticed all her friends had brought their boyfriends over to the table.
"Half-brother, but yeah, that's him. He just transferred here." He said as he sat down and pushed her book bag aside. She decided it was best for her not to be a seventh wheel. So she gathered her stuff and headed to the bleachers on the football field.

I lit my cigarette and inhaled deeply as I tried to rid my thoughts of that spitfire from the hallway. My "friends" coughed and choked as they inhaled, I rolled my eyes as I shrugged off my hot topic jacket. It was a straight jacket except you could fold the sleeves up and wear the zipper in the front so it looked like a regular jacket. I leaned back and scanned the flied; then I saw her, the spitfire from the hall. She walked across the field with headphones on, probably listening to something like Britney spears or something.
I got up and left my burn-out friends, Kenshen and Hiten, to choke. I walked after her as she reached the other side of the field. She sat down and I flicked my cigarette butt at her feet. She put it out with her tattered and worn black tennis shoes and looked up at me yet avoided my eyes like she had done earlier. "Smoking is bad for you, you know. You're probably going to die." She said as she pulled out a Zippo lighter and a pack of Marlboro lights. I chuckled and sat next to her and took the headphones off her head and put them on mine, ignoring her protests.
Chevelle's "the red" filled my ears at an extremely loud volume. I took them off and looked at her as if she had grown another head. "You listen to Chevelle? I didn't expect someone like you to like this kind of music." I said as I handed them back to her.

"'Someone like me'? What's that supposed to mean?" I had never talked back to anyone like this before but he got on my nerves so much I couldn't help it.
"I just wasn't expecting that. So what else don't I know about you, besides the fact that you're a teacher's pet, you're still a virgin and you don't care what you look like." He chuckled at my awed expression as he took the cigarette out my hand and put it to his lips and took a drag.
"Why do you assume that I'm still a virgin? And yes I don't care what I look like, but only because my sister has made me realize that I'm not that great. So why should I care, better yet why should I tell you anything about me?" I had started to gather my things while giving my little speech.
He held up one finger and replied "One, I don't assume, I know." He held up another.
"Two, how can you believe what your sister says when I say otherwise?" he smirked a bit when I blushed then he held up a third finger.
"Three, you should tell me because if I know more about you, then I'll be able to make you stay out of my way."
I had wanted him to leave from the first time I heard him talk to me. But now I wanted to punch his handsome, smug face. I wanted to hurt something so bad that I took the cigarette out of his mouth, turned and put it out on my arm. I could hear him ask what I was doing, and then finally I was calm enough to talk to him instead of hit him. I turned back and threw the butt to the ground.
"Look I'll stay away from you if you stay away from me. Okay?" I started to walk away when he grabbed my arm and examined the self inflicted burn on my arm. "Hey…" I tried to protest until I felt the soft touch of his finger tips and his cold breath as he blew on it to cool the burning sensation. I looked into his eyes and noted his gasp as he looked into mine.

For the first time I noticed her eyes, they were breathtaking. Her right eye was a sapphire blue while her left one was an emerald green. I noticed that she quickly took her arm from me and looked away. "You're eyes… there odd." I said as I saw hurt flood her features. "It's a birth defect." She simply replied as she stalked off.
I stood there speechless; no one had ever made me feel like this. I felt like the biggest asshole in the world. I looked toward her retreating form and swore to myself that I would never be in that position again; I would stay away like she wanted me to and wouldn't talk to her again.
'Her eyes were amazing though.'
'Shut up.'
'Look at her and tell me that you don't feel any attraction at all.'
'I don't.'
'You don't what?'
'Go away.'
'Fine I'll go for now.'
I walked back, grabbed my jacket and went to my last class of the day, hoping to rid myself of that stupid wench.

I walked to my senior history class while tears streaked down my face; my eyes and my arm were burning by the time I reached the door. I wiped away the remainder of the salty streams and walked into the classroom, but as I entered the room I stopped in my tracks as I spotted him. The jerk was staring right at me and smirking, and then I realized the only seat that was open was the seat next to him.
"Please take a seat miss Toshi." Said the teacher, as he started to tap the chalk on the chalkboard, signaling the beginning of today's lesson.
I took my seat next to Him and opened my book to the assigned page and looked toward the teacher, while trying not to look at Him. It was going to be a long year.

After class the teacher called to me and then to a guy named Sesshoumaru Tenaka. I froze when I realized that it was the hallway guy he had called on. I stiffly walked to Mr. Ruroni's desk. He was one of my favorite teachers despite the fact that his son had teased me in junior high and was hitting on me in high school; I still thought he was a nice teacher.
"Yes, Mr. Ruroni?" I said as I acted like the dutiful student I was. I noted hallway guy's name in my head and thought that the name was nice even though he was an ass. 'His name means killing perfection.'
'Yes, I know but it's still kind of cool.'
'No, it's not. He's an ass, why are you complimenting him?'
'I don't know.'
"Miss Toshi, are you listening." The teacher's voice brought me out of my thoughts. "I'm sorry. What did you say, sir." I said while finally looking up from my tattered shoes.
"I said I would like you to start helping mister Tenaka study. I know you're the youngest student in the class by a couple years but you are the best by far." I opened my mouth to protest then shut it when he gave me a look that said he didn't want to argue about this.
"Yes sir." I picked up my book bag and my text book then started toward the door when he spoke once more.
"I'd like for you two to study every day after school, you can meet in the library and then go to someone's house or something but I expect you to study. Starting today." After he destroys the rest of my day, the teacher got up and started to erase the writings from the chalkboard.
It was going to be a VERY long year.

His plans of going to shoot some pool with some friends were crushed when the teacher told him that every day after school he would have to sit in a quiet room with the queen of weird. This would probably lead to the loss of his sanity, his self control, and his reputation. After he got out of the classroom he went to tell his friends that he'd have to hang out with them later.
He walked down the steps and stopped in front of Kouga, Miroku, Inuyasha and Toni. He told them who he was studying with and they started talking about how she was a prude and that not even he could get her into bed. "I bet you fifty bucks he can't get her into bed before he graduates." Said Inuyasha as he threw a fifty on the table. "I'll take that bet." Kouga threw down a fifty of his own.
"I'll bet both of you a hundred bucks I can make her fall madly in love with me and get her into bed before I graduate." Sesshoumaru put down five tens and a fifty from his wallet. They voted Miroku would be handling the money since they knew he was honest, about money anyway, and was good with numbers.
"I don't think you guys should incur the wrath of a woman. They can be scary and sneaky, and I don't want to see a girl like Tj get hurt over some stupid bet." Toni lectured them as he stood from his seat. "What do you mean 'a girl like her'? What is she like some nut straight from the squirrel's paw?" Miroku said as he gathered the money and put it in a plastic bag then shoved it into his book bag.
"I'm just saying she's been threw a lot of shit and right now she doesn't need you guys toying with her." He said as anger started to seep into his glare. "Look Toni your one of my closest friends but you have to swear on your own pussy whipped balls that you will not speak a word of this to her." Sesshoumaru said as he stood in front of his friend with his hand on Toni's shoulder. Toni sighed, looked away and complied. Toni noted that Sesshoumaru never said anything about telling one of her friends all about it.
"Now we have business to attend to at the pool hall. Sesshoumaru, have fun and don't take to long." Inuyasha teased as he picked up his black, monogrammed messenger bag. "Count on it." Sesshoumaru replied as he glared at his little half-brother. They walked off as Sesshoumaru headed toward the library.
It was going to be a very interesting semester.
