Chapter 1: School Spirit

Inuyasha Hayou pressed against the locker door with one hand, squeezing Ayame into her locker.

"Ow!" she squealed in protest. "Let me out Inuyasha!"

He grinned at her, the devilish grin he had practice in the mirror. The grin made the girls melt. "Got you trapped."

"Let me out!" Ayame tried to break free. But she was a little girl, slender and short. Not strong enough to budge him.

Still grinning, he leaned forward and kissed her.

She returned the kiss, he knew she would.

Then she shoved him away, pushing both fist against the broad front of his red Tokyo High T-shirt.

He laughed and stepped back, allowing her to go free.

"You're terrible." she scolded playfully, tossing a red curl off her forehead.

"You love it." Inuyasha replied.

She straighten the bottom of her green T-shirt. "I had fun last night." she murmured shyly, lowering her eyes, the freckled cheeks reddened.

"Of course." Inuyasha said, gazing over her shoulder to study in her locker door mirror. "You're not bad yourself, babe."

"Don't call me babe." Ayame told him. "I really hate it. It's so dumb."

"Okay, babe." He leaned forward to kiss her again, but she ducked to the side.

"People are watching!" Ayame whispered.

"So?" Inuyasha shrugged his broad shoulder. "Let them be jealous." He glanced into her mirror again and pushed back his long white silver hair to show off the dog ears that drove the girls wild around him. "I've got to run."

Ayame slipped her backpack onto one shoulder. "Where are you going?"

"Places." Inuyasha grin at her. He pulled a piece of lint off the shoulder of her T-shirt. Then he places it on her little freckled nose.

Ayame sighed and blew it away. "I'm going to cheerleading practice now." she said, glancing at the clock over their heads. Three-twenty. "Want to meet me after?"

Inuyasha shook his head. "Unh-unh." He turned away from her and gazed down the nearly empty hall. "I've got to practice too. Catch you later, okay?"

He walked toward the music room at the end of the hall, Inuyasha moved with a confident grin on his face. He knew Ayame's eyes were on him, he was sure she was admiring him.

"Call me tonight?" Ayame called after him. There was a pleading tone in her voice.

"Maybe." Inuyasha muttered. He kept walking.

He liked Ayame. She wasn't the prettiest girl he had dated. With her tiny figure, red hair, and freckles, she looked about twelve. But she was okay. Kind of fun.

Why had he asked her out? Because she was the only Raven cheerleader he hadn't gone out with. He had a perfect record. He had to check Ayame off his list.

I've gone out with all eight cheerleaders. Inuyasha grinned to himself. Who says I don't have school spirit?

His private joke made him laugh out loud. "I really crack myself up."

All eight girls were nuts about me to. Inuyasha decided.

Maybe I'll call Ayame again sometime. He thought. Maybe I'll give the kid a break.

Just outside the music room, he stopped to talk to two guys. Souta Neechan slapped him a high-five.

"What's up?" Shippo Kitsu asked Inuyasha.

"Where are you guys going? Detention?" Inuyasha joked.

Souta made a face. "My dad made me get a job. I'm working at WacDonald's. Making French Fries."

Inuyasha snickered. "Starting at the top, huh?"

"We don't all have rich parents." Souta muttered.

"Too bad." Inuyasha replied smugly.

Shippo shifted his backpack to his other shoulder. "You still going with Kanna?" He asked Inuyasha.

"Nope, I dumped her." Inuyasha replied, a wide grin spreading across his face.

Both Shippo and Souta reacted with surprise. "You dumped Kanna?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah. She spilled Coke in my car. So I dumped her." He chuckled. "Made her walk home too."

"Wow." Shippo shook his head.

"Hey, man, can I have your rejects?" Souta asked.

"Sure. Be my guest." Inuyasha offered. He gazed distractedly at the music room. "Hey, later. I'm late for practice."

His two friends headed off. Inuyasha started into the music room.

But two strong hands grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.

"Inuyasha, I'm going to kill you!" A shrill voice cried. "I really am!"

To Be Continued

I know, I changed Souta and Shippo a bit. Hoped you liked the evil cliff hanger and don't forget to review. I would also like to thank Mr. Evil for helping me with the evil ideas.
