A/N: Teenage Kurama always had a funny charm to him in my eyes. Or maybe I am a sucker for high school themes. I hope you like. Remember feedback always helps and motivates the plot bunnies.

Summary: Everyone has a moment, but it appears that it is now Shuuichi Minamino's moment to shinel KuramaxKagome.
There was a school girl named Kagome Higurashi that lived at the local shrine.
Kurama often saw her running about with a giant, yellow backpack while he walked to his high school. He did not care much for human females. Girls in his age group—correction, "Shuuichi's age group"—did not spark an interest all that much as they often are too immature in behavior and mind. Hence, why he did not bother with the lot.
Unfortunately for Kurama, in order for him to find a suitable partner in the human realm, he has to wait until he, Shuuichi, is of legal age to date an older woman on the grounds that it would be seen as socially unacceptable for a minor to court and engage in sexual relations with a person twice his age.
Although, in this case, he found himself a bit drawn to this Kagome girl.
There was nothing far too unique about her. Yes, she's pretty and perhaps her long legs were nice to look at. And, yet, there wasn't anything different or special that set her apart from most of the girls he seen in Japan. Kagome is but a mere typical, attractive Japanese girl and nothing else.
Sometimes Kurama dwelled on the possibility all this "piqued intrigue" simply came down to his human body's hormones surfacing as per nature intended. To be more technical; He is a teenager, after all.
Whatever the reason was, Kurama did not heed to his human body's little whims despite the mounting urge to release some tension.
The kitsune's human host, Shuuichi, is a virgin, but Kurama happened to be a seasoned lover. It felt strange, in a way, to feel all these raw urges all over again for the first time. Kurama was basically over it. Waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, all hot and bothered is far from ideal—not to mention a nuisance. He woke up to sticky bedsheets too frequent for his taste. Shiori, his human mother, did his laundry and the very thought of what she might inquire regarding the stains on the sheets really unsettled Kurama to an uncomfortable degree.
Going back to the subject at hand, the first time Kurama encountered Kagome Higurashi, he felt a strange spark that pulled him toward her like a magnet. He hadn't the faintest clue at first as to why this was, but upon further inspection it had a lot to do with her affinity toward youkai.
This wasn't any assumption.
She confirmed it the day he met her.
He smelled it off her (kind of how a beast can smell fear, as ridiculous as it sounds) when she passed him at the book store. The odd reaction she responded with affirmed his suspicions she also was aware of his youkai nature existing. She grazed his arm, trying to squeeze past him to the other side of the store, and the barest of contact was enough to make her jump at the heavy interaction of ki. Their eyes locked into an intense stare.
She blushed a bit, maybe from the surprise with a sprinkle of embarrassment, before rushing out.
And, just like that, Kurama's interest in this school girl veered into a different direction and that was that. Contemplating his choice whether to pursue this girl as a potential love interest wasn't up for debate anymore, instead, an incontestable fact.
Correction on that last remark—love interest is a poor choice of words, according to Kurama, more along the lines of a conquest.
Unbeknownst to Kurama, he has his work cut out for him. Kagome Higurashi happened to be stubborn as a mule and hotheaded beyond a reasonable doubt.
The End.
