Win Me Over

Chapter Two: Day One

"So? That's no reason to have an assembly," Kagome muttered, brushing some loose strands of hair from her dark eyes.

Sango gave her a shocked look. "What are you talking about?! Of course it is! Do you expect them to announce the winners over the loudspeaker?"

"Well, why not? It's not such a big deal. This stupid new reality TV show will be boring anyways. I mean, who's gonna watch it?"

Her best friend choked back a laugh. "Um, let's see, only everyone in the entire country! You're probably the only person who doesn't find this idea for a show hilarious."

"It's not hilarious, it's downright boring! How exciting is it to watch two teens trapped in a room together for an entire month? What are they supposed to do? Talk about? How do they dress?"

Finding their seats in the bleachers, the girls sat down and shoved their book bags beside them to save a place for both Rin and Ayame. Sango looked thoughtful and shook her head slowly.

"I swear Kags," she whispered, "You need to learn to enjoy life."

Before Kagome could retort, someone stepped heavily on her toe. Screeching in pain, she glared up only to come face to face with InuYasha. He snickered and shrugged, mumbling, "My bad."

I swear someday I'm gonna murder that jerk, Kagome thought to herself, pulling off her boot and massaging her injured toe.

"Was that really necessary?" Miroku sighed tiredly, giving Kagome a pitying look. "She didn't even do anything today."

"Yet," InuYasha frowned, plopping down beside Koga, who crossed his arms.

"Well, yeah, now she's probably gonna do something to you, after you nearly broke her toe for no reason!"

"Whatever," InuYasha snorted, sticking his gum under the bleacher and ignoring the girl a couple seats down, who was looking disgusted.

Meanwhile, Rin and Ayame managed to get seats beside their two friends and the conversation slowly died down as the principal approached the podium. Clearing his throat, he tapped the microphone and smiled.

"Good morning students," he boomed, adjusting his square glasses. "We have called this assembly today to announce the winners of the STUCK WITH YOU reality show, who will be the first to ever appear on the show. To those of you who didn't hear about this, I'll explain."

After going through the show for a couple minutes, his smile broadened. "And now we have the producers here with us today to pull the winning names from the special boxes!" He indicated two big boxes to the side of the stage, one marked Girls and the other marked Boys. Kagome yawned.

As two well-built men clambered onto the stage, shook hands with the principal and lifted the microphone to their height, Rin squeaked in excitement. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Students of Shikon High School," the taller one said, hands clasped behind his back. "We are proud to have such fine young ladies and gentlemen such as yourselves participating in this fine contest. No matter who wins the spot on our show, just remember, you're all winners."

A few people snorted throughout the crowd but it remained quiet.

"And without further ado," the other producer smiled, blinking a couple times. "We'll have the lovely Michiko draw the winning names."

A beautiful woman dressed in a sparkling dark blue dress appeared with the boxes. She set them on a stool and waved her hands around them. The audience clapped.

"Now," the taller producer beamed, "Michiko, draw the first name from the Boys box."

Several boys in the bleachers were too busy drooling over her to really pay attention. But as soon as she opened the lid and gingerly reached inside, they were all ears. Bringing out a small piece of folded paper, she opened it and smiled.

"Our first participant," she said in a smooth, silky voice, "is InuYasha Takahashi."

Everyone erupted into loud cheers and whistles. InuYasha nearly fell over backwards in his seat, but with the help of Miroku, he was able to stand.

"Dude!" he yelled, grinning from ear to ear. "You signed me up, didn't you?!"

"Yeah!" Miroku smirked. "Thought it'd be funny!" Then his look changed to one of surprise. "But I never actually thought you'd win!"

"Well, neither did I!"

The shorter producer was clapping merrily, and he called, "Get down here, InuYasha Takahashi!"

Obeying, InuYasha stumbled down the bleachers and onto the stage, where he was greeted by handshakes and a kiss on the cheek from Michiko. Kagome was howling with laughter while her friends gave her interesting looks and shrugged.

"Congratulations InuYasha," the first producer grinned, gripping his shoulder. "Is there anything you'd like to say?"

He thought for a moment, than leaned into the microphone. "Yeah, I'd like to thank my bud Miroku for signing me up! And well, of course, myself, for being the awesome guy that I am."

The students burst into laughter and clapped even harder. Both producers chuckled and showed InuYasha to his seat beside the podium. On their other side was an empty chair.

"Michiko, the next name please!"

The gorgeous woman nodded, her golden curls falling around her angel-like face. Repeating the same process as before, her hand emerged with a new piece of paper, which she unfolded slowly.

"And joining InuYasha in the competition," she smiled, "Will be none other then Kagome Higurashi!"

Again, the crowd boomed with loud cheers and claps and whistles. Kagome stared blankly down at the stage, not really believing her ears. Her friends were just as shocked.

"K-Kags!" Ayame stuttered, grabbing her friend's arm. "You won! You're going to be on the show! Get down there!"

But Kagome didn't budge. She couldn't. Her feet would fail her. Rin and Sango were trying to make her stand as Ayame indicated to the producers that this was Kagome Higurashi sitting right here.

"Looks like she's in a state of shock!" the shorter producer laughed, watching Kagome. "It's alright, Miss Higurashi, don't be afraid! You're the winner!"

Thinking this was all a dream and she'd be awake any minute now, Kagome nodded solemnly and stood up. Her friends patting her on the back and pushed her towards the steps leading to the stage.

Once there, she found it hard to breathe. The producers shook her hand and Michiko hugged her, while the principal nodded his approval. "What would you like to say Kagome?" the taller producer asked.

She looked down at the microphone and gaped at it. The lights were blaring down on her and so many heads in the audience were swimming around, smiling encouragingly at her, waving and winking.

"I'd like to say that," she began, shaking her head, "my friend's are dead when I'm off of this show."

Everyone laughed like they had with InuYasha. Only three people didn't, knowing that she wasn't kidding. Not at all.

"What a delightful young woman," one of the producers smiled, making her sit in her chair. Kagome suddenly realized who was sitting in the other chair. Who was going to be on the show with her. Who she was stuck with for an entire month, the only face she'd see, the only voice she'd hear.

And that caused all of her senses to stop working, her heart to race, and her palms to sweat. InuYasha Takahashi, the one person who could make her so angry she'd want to jump off a bridge. She was stuck with him for the next month, whether she liked it or not.

-Win Me Over-

"But what about school?"

"Summer school."

"And friends?"

"They can wait."

"Food?"

"Three meals a day."

Kagome tried to think of other reasons why she shouldn't be on the show but the director, Miyu Hiwazaga, kept countering with perfect answers. It was almost impossible to weasel her way out of this.

InuYasha was leaning against a circular pillar snacking on complimentary rice cakes. He would snort whenever Kagome thought up a new reason. But for now, she was silent.

"Well, are you all set then?" Miyu asked, clapping her hands together and grinning. "This show is going to be an instant success! And if you both can bare it, the prize is 10,000 dollars!"

"We know, we know," InuYasha said through a mouth filled with rice cakes, wiping his hands on his jeans. "Let's just get this over with. Right Kags?"

Kagome shot him a look that read death. "Don't call me Kags." And turning on her heel, she marched into the room they'd be sharing for the next 31 days of their lives.

It was a fairly large room, accommodated with carpet and light blue paint on the walls, as well as a bathroom with a shower and sink and a window for fresh air. A couch was seated in the middle of the room with a coffee table in front of it, and a leather armchair across from the couch.

The only problem was…there was only one bed.

"Um," Kagome spoke up, looking over her shoulder to make sure InuYasha and Miyu had entered the room as well. "Excuse me, but there's only one bed."

"Yes, I know," Miyu replied casually, shrugging. "Is that a problem?"

InuYasha was just as dumbfounded as Kagome. "Well no shit it's a problem! Where's Kags gonna sleep? The couch?"

"Don't call me Kags!" Kagome screamed, fire in her eyes. "And if anyone's sleeping on the couch, it's you!"

"I don't think so! I'm the man in this room and I deserve the best!"

Miyu was smirking. "I'll let you two work this out. Have fun, because for the next month you won't be allowed to set foot outside this room. Dinner will be served shortly. Good luck."

And with a small bow she exited the room, the bronze door slamming tight behind her and clicking as it locked.

Kagome's mouth was moving but no words were coming out. She was stricken with so many emotions at once she didn't know what to do or say. Meanwhile, InuYasha merely jumped onto the couch and put his dirty feet on the table.

Getting a whiff of his feet, Kagome nearly gagged. "InuYasha! You need a shower, oh my god!"

He rolled his eyes and focused on a painting on the wall. "Where's the damn TV in here? I'm not gonna be able to survive without a TV!" He quickly began searching around for a remote.

Shaking her head, Kagome grabbed her suitcase and began to unpack, folding her clothes neatly and shoving them into drawers. One of us has to be responsible, she thought as she unpacked, folded and stored. Otherwise we're not gonna be able to stand each other for more then an hour.

Oh, how right she was.

Sorry it's not as long as the last chapter but I'm kinda in a hurry! Stay tuned and please review!

Till next time;
