Inuyasha's the first demon to get a job as a teacher. The job is perfect, he's far away from his brother, and he gets to teach kids his favorite subject, history. What's more, the job led him to his mate. Too bad she's one of his students.

don't need to think it over.

Making History

Chapter 1


"The last thing you need to know about on the test this Friday is the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and when it happened. It was only the biggest even that's happened to this country in the last 100 years, so if you don't know it, you might as well give up now and go work at Wacdonalds, cause your too stupid to graduate by the end of this year."

Silver ears twitched on top of his head as his students laughed. They swiveled in the direction of one voice in particular. It was heavenly, and it was soft and melodic.

"The rest of class is yours, do whatever the hell you want, just don't maim each other."

It was like a bomb exploded. Instantly the class was filled with a million different conversations, as if they had been talking to each other for hours.

Unable to help himself he called out, "Miss Higurashi, I'm need to see you for a moment after class, if you please."

Stormy grey eyes snapped up to meet amber.

"What? But I have to get to the bus! It'll leave without me!"

He inwardly smirked at her anger. She looked so beautiful when her face flushed red like that.

"You can come now for five minutes, or you can stay after on Friday in detention. Your pick, Miss Higurashi." Secretly, he wished she would pick the latter. But he'd most likely find a way to give her detention before then, he always did.

Several students 'ooohed' as Kagome blushed, embarrassed for getting in trouble…again.

"Yes, Mr. Takahashi, sir," she spat at him with venom a rattlesnake would have been jealous of. They way she had drawled out his name sent shivers down his spine.

The bell began to ring, signaling the end of the day, and students began to get to their feet, collecting their bags.

"Study hard, or don't, just don't come whining to me when you fail."

The last few straggling students left the classroom, leaving him alone with the girl. She walked to the front of the room and crossed her arms on her chest.

He sat on his desk and just admired her. Her long black hair almost looked blue in the florescent lights of the classroom, and it went to her mid back in natural waves. The green of the school uniforms was a good look for her, but he would have preferred seeing her in something red.

"Well?" she said, rudely snapping him out of his daydreams.

"Well what?" he said stupidly.

"Dear lord, please tell me you had a better reason for making me miss the bus than just ogling me." She said, smacking a hand to her forehead.

He flashed her his signature smirk.

"I swear! Your going to get yourself fired, Inuyasha!" she said exasperatingly. "Not to mention all the trouble it would cause me if anyone found out what we were doing!"

"What are you talking about, wench? We're not doing anything illegal or anything!"

"Yeah, a 500 year old teacher chasing after a 17 year old student. There's nothing illegal about that, you pedophile!"

He pushed himself off the desk and was right in front of her in the blink of an eye. "That's not fair," he said, whining a bit. "You know I'm only 473. You gave me a birthday card last year." He began to run his deadly claws gently through her silky hair. "I told you I could wait 'till your of age…and I will," he growled softly, taking a hand in hers. "Unless you want to skip ahead a bit. I certainly wouldn't mind, mate…" he trailed off as he busied his mouth with more important things than talking. Like sucking on her neck, for example.

"If I get a hickey my mom will have my ass," she said through the moans he was making her make. She pushed him off her a bit. "Besides, I don't ever remember agreeing to do…that…with you, much less be your mate!"

"Think about 'Gome," he said softly, trying to reclaim his spot on her sensitive skin. "You mate with me, and you'll look twenty one and young for the rest of time. You'll get to live, forever."

"Forever is a long time to live," she whispered.

"Not when you live it with someone you love." He growled back, seductively.

His low voice sent shocks through her body and she shivered with the tension he was creating in her, and she felt herself get all gooey inside at his words.

His mouth traveled north from the spot on her neck, trailing closer and closer to her pink lips. Finally, he captured them in his, and he marveled in the taste that was Kagome.

Kagome, the firey, passionate woman with a temper to rival his own. Kagome, the most intelligent and beautiful woman he had ever met. Kagome, his one and only; his demon's chosen one and his life and his soul mate.

Kagome…

The girl who was seventeen and who was a student in his seventh period History class.

This was where the problem was. Teacher-student relationships were taboo and forbidden. It just wasn't

right. There had been a teacher about 20 years back that had gotten caught in an affair with a student.

Inuyasha remembered being disgusted with him. How could a man take such advantage of a kid?

But this was different. That man had been human; he had a choice. He could have chosen to wait until he got home to his wife, but he chose to go into a storage closet with a junior girl during lunch break.

Inuyasha was demon…well, half demon. Demons have one mate, and one alone. A demon's main drive is to find their intended mate, and mark them as theirs. It wasn't up to him who his mate was, whether she was human or demon, eighty-three or four, but every fiber of his being told him to find her and make her his, forever.

He was always on the lookout for her, but he never expected to find her where he did. He could remember that day so clearly. She had walked into his second period studyhall class and plopped down in the chair in the front of the room. He was instantly attracted to her. She didn't have the body of a model, but she was still beautiful.

"You sure you're the teacher?" she had asked. "Because you still look like just a kid to me. Are you even qualified?"

"I'll have you know, I'm over four hundred and fifty years old. I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to teach." He had snapped back.

"Daaang…your old!"

He had given out his first detention after that. In 50 years of teaching at that school, he had never given out a detention. If a kid annoyed him in class, why would he willing spend more time with the kid? But he gave Kagome a detention. And though he wouldn't admit it to himself, he had done it because he wanted to spend more time around her.

She had sat in silence for an hour and a half in the otherwise empty classroom, and he couldn't keep his eyes off her. Every little movement she made called to him, and his demon was going haywire. It was frantically trying to make him take her, but he couldn't do that. She was as student and a minor. It was against human law. Humans didn't understand the fundamentals of demon mating; all they saw was a teenage girl and a man who looked around twenty one. If had gone after her like he wanted to, he would have lost his job as well. He just couldn't do that. So he tried to be content, just watching her from the corner of his eyes, watching the way her hand impatiently pushed back her raven locks out of her eyes. The way her eyes flashed with rage like lightning in a storm whenever she looked up at him. The red flush on her embarrassed and angry cheeks.

When the hour and a half ended, not a word had been spoken. He continued to pretend to work and she glanced at the clock impatiently every few seconds.

"So can I go now?" she had finally asked when it became apparent that he wasn't about to tell her to leave.

Sighing, he had stood from his desk and crossed to the door, holding it open for her to leave. She picked up her bag and with a huff, proceeded to strut out of the room. It would have been a very dramatic exit, had she not tripped on her own two feet about a foot from the door.

She squeezed her eyes shut as she prepared to hit the floor, but felt an arm snake around her waist. Inuyasha had acted with speed only a demon could posses, catching her just in the nick of time. She rolled in his arms to where her face was just inches from his.

His voice of reason was telling him to pick her the rest of the way up and let her go, but that voice was faint and distant in his head. His main focus was on her eyes. Eyes that were grey like rolling storm clouds. Eyes that were locked on his eyes. Eyes that were getting closer. Eyes that closed as he tasted something sweet on his lips.

That was the beginning of it all. It was the first time they kissed. The first time they hid together in his classroom, hours after school ended. And it wouldn't be the last. She had just turned sixteen.

During the school day, the students all came to know that, for some odd reason, Mr. Takahashi hated Kagome Higurashi. She was the only student that he ever gave detention to, and was the only one that seemed to be able to get under his skin. Mr. Takahashi would find some reason to give her a detention, it was a given. Whether it was not turning in an assignment, or for saying something snarky, almost every Friday, Kagome would be stuck in detention for an agonizing hour and a half, all alone.

Poor Kagome.

Inuyasha reminisced over the past year as he re-explored her mouth with his tongue. She'd always be angry at first, furious that he had embarrassed her in front of her friends, again. But she always cooled off when he made contact with her soft skin.

Pushing off the reluctant hanyou, Kagome looked down at her watch.

"Annnd I've missed the bus. Looks like I'm walking home today. Thanks, Inuyasha," she said giving him a slight glare, but the intensity of it was toned down considerably by the way her eyes seemed to sparkle, almost as if rain was drizzling from her stormy clouds.

"Keh! What makes you think I'd make you walk home? Come on, I'll give you a lift," he said, taking her hand and starting for the door.

"And be seen by all the other teachers and students that might still be here? No way!" she said, yanking her hand from his.

"You know, sometimes I think you're just ashamed to be seen with me."

Kagome stared at him in disbelief. "Ash-ashamed? I'm trying to protect you, ass hole!" She turned on her heal and started towards the door, but was stopped as two strong arms wrapped around her middle and a deep voice whispered in her ear.

"Now, now, Miss Higurashi. I should give you a detention for swearing in my classroom," he said, nipping slightly at her ear.

"You might as well!" she said, trying to keep her breathing steady. "You always find a way to give me a detention one way or another!"

"Hm, your right…" he mused. He straightened, placing his hands on her shoulders and spinning her around to face him. "Detention. This Friday. My classroom." He leaned in once again, silencing her outraged cry with his kiss. "Don't be late," he growled softly, before kissing her once more on her forehead.

"Why me?" she asked suddenly. "Out of the hundreds of girls you see everyday, why pick me?"

He cocked his head slightly to the side, as if in deep thought. He smirked down at her before looking into her eyes, allowing himself to get lost in the billowing clouds of grey.

"Not quite sure," he began still mesmerized by her eyes. "But I know one thing."

"Really? Pray tell."

"You an' me together," he rested his head against hers, so he could dwell even deeper in her gaze. "We'd make history."

"That was probably the cheesiest thing I've ever heard," she scoffed.

"Keh...deal with it. I thought it was pretty good."

"You really are hopeless," she sighed as she twisted from his grasp.

She picked up her bag and started for the door. He watched her leave, and as she reached the door, she turned back to him one last time, and gave him a small smile.

After she closed the door, Inuyasha turned to pack up his things, a new spring in his step.


"So Kagome, how'd it go?" Ayumi asked, ambushing Kagome the minute she was off school grounds.

"Do you even have to ask?" said Yuka before Kagome could answer. "He wanted to talk about her attitude…she said something rude…he gave her detention…that's what always seems to happen," she shot Kagome a knowing look.

"Geez Kagome…what you even say to him to piss 'im off?" Eri asked.

"Well…I called him an ass hole…" she trailed off, not wanting to go into any major detail.

Not a lie.

She just left out the parts where he kissed her senseless was all.

"Kagome! You moron! I thought you were smarter than that!" Eri said, smacking a hand to her head.

"Hey! I had good reason! He made me miss the bus for something stupid…and he would have found some way to give me detention one way or another by Friday anyway."

Not a lie.

"Kya…it's a shame he hates you so much Kagome…if there wasn't the rivalry between you two…he'd be my favorite teacher! He's so hot!" Yuka said, fanning herself with her hand.

"Him? HOT? Yuka…sometimes I wonder about your sanity. He's repulsive, gross, and downright unpleasant to look at!"

Lie.

Major lie.

"Aw get over it Kagome! Let me fantasize a bit! If only I could snag a guy with as good as him! He's funny in class, he's totally bad ass, and I'd bet he'd make any girl feel like the luckiest girl in the world!"

Kagome was starting to get annoyed. Couldn't Yuka just shut up? Her insides burned with anger, and she wanted to scream at Yuka to shut up about her Inuyasha!

'N-nani? What's wrong with me? Yuka's my best friend…and why am I even getting so worked up about this? The way he always come after me is annoying and makes everything difficult. I shouldn't even care. It'd be a relief to me if he'd decide to chase after Yuka instead of me…'

Her anger burned brighter, licking her insides like flame, and Kagome was overwhelmed with a strong desire to prove to the world that Inuyasha was hers and hers alone!

Kagome gave a small gasp and the intensity of the feelings inside her.

'Could it be…that I'm jealous? But jealous of what? Its not like they're secretly together or anything…Inuyasha doesn't have the time with school and the time he spends with me. So why did I feel the need to prove our relationship so strongly?'

Kagome put a clenched fist to her heart as she walked a step behind her friends.

'Have I really fallen that much in love with him?'

"You ought to be careful, Yuka," Ayumi's voice sounded, waking Kagome from her thoughts. "You don't want people to start spreading rumors about you and Mr. Takahashi. It'd be the end of you life socially, and the end of his career. He'd be fired without any chance to prove his innocence…especially because he's half demon!"

Her words shook Kagome…and they reminded her of the dangerous game she was playing.

If anyone found out…or even held suspicions about her and Inuyasha, she would be labeled as a freak and a whore. And Inuyasha would be fired, and forced to go back and live in the demonic community. He had told her about what it was like in the demonic communities, and she didn't want to be the one responsible for sending him back to that hell hole.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Yuka said, annoyed. "A girl can't dream anymore!"

"So I guess you'll be late for movie night, huh Kagome?" Eri said.

"Unfortunately," Kagome sighed. "Just don't start it without me, alright?"

"Wouldn't dream of it!" Ayumi said as they reached the point where their paths home split. "See you tomorrow!" she waved.

"Bye!"

"Catch ya later!"

Kagome raised a hand in farewell to her friends, and watched their retreating figures. She sighed, and began the mile long trek from this point to the shrine where she lived, alone with her thoughts.

'Inuyasha…' she thought worriedly. 'Please don't do anything reckless.'


That's chapter one! I'd love a review, it motivates me to write faster ^-^
