Wanna Bet?

Title: Wanna Bet?

Summary: In high school, Kikyou wanted a challenge. So she set her sights on Sesshomaru Taisho- total ice prince of the school. The bet was simple; get him to say, "I love you." Of course, no one said that this was going to be that easy, and what happens when she becomes the one that starts developing feelings for him?

Kathy: Yeah, yeah, back with another story. Lol. This is going to take a lonnngg time to update, only because I'm trying to keep up with my other story: Summer of Fear, this, and school at the same time. Believe it or not, this is actually based on a true event that happened to my friend, although I did add a few more drama here and there. Enjoy!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kikyou Yamato. Your normal average girl in your normal average life. She's intelligent, attractive, and has a great personality. She knew how to deal with almost any situation. Okay, maybe not any situation. Kikyou lacked one thing that almost everyone else had: A relationship.

Most people in her school had already been going steady, or at least interested in someone. Kikyou? Well, let's just say she's completely oblivious to the world of dating; something that her friends constantly bug her about. With long silky locks of dark hair, deep chocolate eyes and a body that most girls would die for, it's pretty hard to believe. Whenever asked about her dating life, Kikyou would just shrug it off and say she wasn't interested. She wasn't a loner or anything, but things just mattered more to her than looks, or boys.

Like grades, for example. Being one of the top students in her class and making honor role wasn't that hard for this chick. She would smile proudly at her tests while other students would swallow hard, thinking of a possible way to tell their parents without being yelled at. So, you could say life was pretty easy for Kikyou…well, at least until this year…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

First day of Shikon High School. 8:30 am:

The raven-haired beauty walked confidently down the hallways of her school. Sighing, she glanced at her sides before continuing on her way. Most people were hanging out around their lockers. Lots of chatting was going on, and occasionally laughter. Kikyou covered her ears when she heard a loud shriek followed by a slap. She knew only two people who could be in that situation.

Frowning slightly, she wondered why people were still hanging around outside. Don't they know they're supposed to be early for the first day? Kikyou skimmed through the books in her hands one last time, checking incase she had forgotten anything. Deep in thought, she hadn't noticed that she was about to run into another person.

Before anyone could yell 'watch out!' the two teenagers had already smacked against one another. A loud shriek could be heard before everything fell silent.

Kikyou fell backwards before realizing what had happened. Opening her eyes, she saw that it was another girl about her age. She had dark wavy curls and sea blue eyes. At the same time, Kagome had recovered as well. She straightened her jean skirt while getting up. Smiling, she held out her hand to the other female.

Kikyou winced. She knew exactly who this was. Kagome Higurashi: one of the most popular students at their school. There were lots of rumors that spread about this girl. She was one of the most sociable students, but at the same time, you wouldn't want to get on her bad side. Great, what a way to start the first day of school. She hesitated before grasping the other teen in the hand and pulling herself up.

"Listen, I'm really sorry. I…"

"Hey, don't worry about it. I wasn't looking where I was going…" Kagome explained while retrieving some of the books from the ground.

"You see, I've been trying to catch the eye of a certain someone. So far, it's not working very well. It…must've gotten to my head a little bit…" She smiled and handed Kikyou her books.

"Am I boring you? Excuse me if I am. My friends always said I had the tendency to talk a little too much…"

Kikyou smiled while the other girl continued on. She was glad that the accident didn't draw too much attention and the staring from others had been over.

"By the way, I'm Kagome." The raven-haired teen introduced.

"Oh, I already know that. I'm…Kikyou." She smiled. The two girls shook hands while patiently waiting for the other to say something.

"Well Kikyou, it's nice to meet you. Maybe we can hang out sometime…AHH!" Kagome gawked at the sight of the clock. She quickly grabbed the rest of her books before turning around and running down the hall.

"Oh snap! One minute until gym?! I won't even have time to change…! Can't talk anymore, sorry Kikyou! Maybe we'll bump into each other another time!" The teen called over her shoulder before disappearing down the hallway.

Kikyou just laughed before getting to her class.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

First period. 9:15 am:

Inuyasha disliked math. No, he despised it. Most of the time, he would be chatting with his friends in the back of the classroom. He had tried doing these problems before, and they always made his head hurt. So, during these years, he had given up trying altogether.

Snickering, Inuyasha crumpled a piece of paper and threw it at an unfortunate student's head who happened to be sitting right in front of him. His friends grinned before high-fiving each other.

The hanyou usually had a bad record in class, having been sent to detention at least once each week. He was definitely not up to the expectations of his whole family. His father, the great Inu no Taisho was the head of many successful weapon companies. Even his half-brother had managed to make honor role and represent their school in varies activities. Inuyasha didn't care though. He was laid back, and as long as he had his social status, it was fine.

Yawning, Inuyasha stretched before laying his head on top of the desk. The teacher noticed his rude behavior and decided to call on him.

"Mr. Taisho, would you care to tell me what X is?" Myoga, the flea-like demon asked.

Inuyasha yawned again before leaning back on his chair. He looked at the equation on the whiteboard.

"Aaahh…is it…zero?" He chuckled, not caring if it was the right answer or not.

Myoga looked sternly at him. "No, Mr. Taisho. Someone had already said that, and it was incorrect."

He looked towards the rest of his students before picking a quiet girl sitting in the front row.

"Yamato, what'd you write?"

Kikyou looked up at the teacher before responding.

"The answer is negative four." She smiled while the teacher nodded in approval. "That, everyone is how you solve this problem."

The teacher began writing the steps on the board while the students copied them. Kikyou could hear the boy at the back laughing and calling her a nerd. She turned around and for a moment, golden-hazel orbs met deep brown. The world seemed oblivious to the two teens as they both looked at each other, neither one breaking the eye contact.

"Inuyasha. What the hell are you doing?" Miroku, one of his friends asked while shaking him on the arm.

At that moment, the gaze broke. Inuyasha looked away and started talking to his friend while Kikyou also snapped her attention somewhere else.

Shaking her head, Kikyou wondered what she was thinking. She was supposed to focus on her studies! Cursing under her breath, Kikyou returned to her work.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lunch. 11:45 am:

"I wish this day could be over!" One student complained.

"Yeah…did you see how much homework Kaede gave us?!" As usual, most students found lunch period the best time to complain about schoolwork. Kikyou rolled her eyes at this. What was wrong with everyone? It's just schoolwork, it's not that bad if you really think about it.

She took out a peanut butter sandwich from her lunch bag and looked over at her friends. Sango had always been her best friend. They had known each other for three years now. Rin was a cute little girl who had moved here just last year, and so did Ayame.

Kikyou turned her gaze to a new teen who was sitting at their lunch table. She had black locks of hair that was pinned up into a bun. Not much was known about Kagura. Just that this was her first year in Shikon High, and Sango had invited her over. Kikyou bit into her sandwich.

"Hey Kik, I heard about your little accident this morning…" Ayame laughed.

Kikyou turned red. Everyone knew about that? Oh joy.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. It wasn't my fault in the first place." Sango looked a little confused and decided to speak up.

"What happened?"

"Oh, Kikyou just bumped into that Kagome girl. I heard that both of them fell back with their books splattered everywhere." Rin smirked.

Sango's eyes widened. "Kagome? You mean Kagome Higurashi?!"

Kikyou nodded. "Yeah…that's her, why?"

Sango looked down at her lunch. "I thought that she would've been at least a little rude if you had bumped into her. In fact, shouldn't she been making a big deal of this and declaring war?"

Kikyou shook her head. Why did everyone think Kagome was like that? She seemed pretty nice this morning so she couldn't understand why people just made assumptions like that.

"Well, it was her fault in the first place. Kagome said she was trying to catch the eye of a guy, or something…"

"Oh, that's definitely her. That slut will never give up." Kagura spoke up.

Kikyou turned towards her newest friend. "You guys…how can you say that she's a slut? I mean…it's just a guy."

"You wouldn't understand, Kikyou." Ayame sighed while playing with her fork.

Her friend narrowed her eyes. She didn't understand? What did that mean?

"What Ayame means to say, Kikyou," Rin explained. "Is that since you've never been in a relationship before, you don't know how it works."

Kikyou arched an eyebrow. Oh, so she suddenly became the dumb one of the group, huh? "Are you guys saying I can't get a boyfriend?"

Sango's eyes widened. "Of course not! We're just saying that…that…"

"You guys think I'm a loner of something? Well, I'll prove you wrong. I'll prove you all wrong. I bet you one hundred dollars that I can get any guy here to fall in love with me!" Kikyou exclaimed. Okay, so maybe this was going a little out of control. But she still wanted to show her friends that they were wrong about her.

"Kikyou, we really didn't mean it…" Rin started to explain.

"No, it's fine. So…are any of you up for the bet?" She asked, smiling proudly. There was a long silence before someone spoke up again.

"Fine. I bet you one hundred dollars that you can't get a boyfriend." Kagura smirked.

"Same here" Rin and Ayame said at the same time. Everyone looked at Sango who was fidgeting with her food.

"…I'm not going to do the bet." She smiled weakly.

Kikyou nodded. She wasn't concerned about the bet; she had no problem with this. Sure she never really liked a guy before, but Kikyou watched romance movies just like everyone else.

"But…there's a catch." Kagura smirked while all her friends waited for her to explain.

"You have to make…him fall in love with you." She pointed to a student at another table.

Everyone turned to where her gaze was. A guy with long, platinum hair was currently sitting there. He had golden-hazel eyes and pale skin. Kikyou had seen him in some of her classes before. His name was Sesshomaru…or something like that. She never really paid much attention to him besides the fact that she knew he didn't talk very much, kept to himself, and received excellent grades like herself.

"Sesshomaru Taisho. Handsome, mysterious, and definitely a challenge. Are you up for it, Kikyou?" Kagura asked.

Sango winced. "Kik, I don't think you should do it. I mean, there are so many girls after him, are you sure you want to continue with it?"

It was true. That Taisho student basically had girls fawning over him. He never paid attention and just ignored them, which made his fan girls even crazier about him.

"Fine. The bet's on. Start getting your money ready girls, because I'm going to have him in love with me in no time." Kikyou proudly smirked. It's just a guy. So, how hard can it be?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kathy: Omg, I'm soo sorry I didn't have any Sesshomaru in this first chapter. But he's going to be making an appearance almost every other chapter though! I'm still not sure about the pairings yet, so I'll probably have you guys vote. I hope you enjoyed it, so R & R!
