Morning came too soon for Sango. Her alarm clock did not do its job, since she didn't set it the night before so consequently, she woke up half an hour later than she usually did. Groaning, she rolled out of her bed and grabbed her clock. It read 7:00AM.

"I'm gonna be late!" Sango screamed at herself, throwing on her uniform and brushing her teeth at the same time. Grabbing an apple and a few dollars for her lunch, she rushed out the door, throwing her backpack over her shoulders, running all the way.

After running a few blocks, she was finally at her school. Quite breathless, Sango followed the crowd entering the school orderly, until someone shoved her. Shoving back, she didn't realize that it was Kagome who she shoved. Unfortunately, Sango didn't realize it was her until she felt a hand clutch on to her arm.

"Bitch! What the hell are you doing?" Sango instantly stiffened. Anyone could tell her voice from a mile away. Turning around slowly, she took deep breaths.

'Don't anger her, don't do anything stupid, don't humiliate your self…' Thoughts ran through her head. After all, who was she to criticize Kagome?

"Answer me! What the hell do you think you were doing?" Sango looked at the ground, her cheeks burning like fire. Kagome's high pitched voice attracted lots of attention, as lots of people were sending stares her way.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching." Sango mumbled, thinking that it was over. But it wasn't.

"Well you should be. Why, I don't see why you should even be in this school. Don't you belong in the orphanage?" Kagome snarled. Sango immediately clenched her fists tightly, bringing her arms around herself, as if to wrap herself in a protective cocoon. "What? Did I strike a nerve?" Squeezing her eyes shut tightly, Sango turned around and stalked off, willing herself not to get angry nor cry. Or, she tried to. A manicured hand shot out and grasped on to her hair. "Don't walk away when I'm talking, you little bitch. Don't you have any manners?" By the end, Kagome was smirking. Suddenly, out of instinct, Sango whirled around, and yanked Kagome's hand out of her hair. This roused a few gasps from their audience.

"Fight! Fight!" They chanted, wanting something interesting to view. Kagome smirked at this.

"Bring it on, let's see what you've got!" Sango spun around once more, not wanting to be a part of this. Until she was yanked by Kagome on her long hair, and tugged violently towards her. "you little harpie! Respect your betters!" Sango tried to shake her head loose, only to hear the bell ring.

"Let go of me! I need to go to class!" Sango burst, unable to withstand Kagome's bitching anymore. 'Must be her time of the month...'

Suddenly, she was grasped by the shoulders and spun around. What happened next, she did not know. All she saw was Kagome's hand racing towards her, and extreme pain on her left cheek. The force of the slap left her cheek stinging and her body to be off balance, resulting in her falling down, paper scattering every where. Laughter and applause erupted from the crowd around them, causing Kagome to smirk triumphantly. Suddenly, something in Sango snapped. The pain, the humiliation…she couldn't bear it anymore. All the anger poured off her body in waves as she stood up, eyes narrowed.

"You think you're so great, don't you. Well let me tell you something, Kagome Higurashi, you're nothing but a slut!" The simple statement caused silence over everyone. No one dared to speak Kagome's full name like that, nor speak to her like that. Kagome's eyes narrowed in to a fully directed glare.

"Why you little slut." As she raised her hand for another hit, Sango braced herself for the pain that was surely going to hit her. Kagome's hand flew towards her, and Sango winced, sure that any minute now, she was going to get hit. And just when Kagome's hand was going to make contact with her face-

Inuyasha caught it in mid-air.

"Don't." A simple statement. However, it caused so much commotion among the students, especially Kagome. Everyone else started whispering, heading towards the class they were dangerously late for. This would be quite the gossip.

"What are you doing?" Kagome hissed at Inuyasha. Then, after having an extremely slow reaction, she realized it was Inuyasha she was talking to and switched her face to the sugar coated expression. "I mean, I wasn't gonna hit her." Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and went off to class. Kagome gave one last look to Sango. "Don't think this is over, bitch." Sneering, she stalked off, sticking her nose high in the air, leaving a bewildered Sango with paper strung around her.

Last period…

English class. He never hated it, but started to dislike it ever since last night. Apparently, Kouga had not forgotten about the dare, and reminded him every second of the day. Growling slightly at the memory, he slumped in his chair. Glancing at Sango, he noticed her rubbing her cheek slightly. That suddenly brought up the earlier events of the day. Inuyasha didn't know why he had interfered, but since he was supposed to seduce Sango, why not start early? A small tug at the bottom of his stomach reminded him of the guilt that started ever since the party. He couldn't help but feel horrible for doing this to the girl, after all, what did she ever do to him? He wanted to reject the dare, but he was never one to chicken out. Besides, what would it do for his reputation?

Finally, the teacher started the class, and soon they were free to work with their partner on their project. He slowly advanced to Sango's desk, which he could tell surprised her greatly. Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat, hating himself for doing the dare and trying to seduce her. 'Here goes nothing…'

"Hey." Letting a lazy and sexy smile stretch across his face, he dragged a chair over to where she was sitting and scooted closer so that they were tightly leaning on eachother. What am I doing? I feel like a fool…

"Um, hi…" Her expression was priceless.

"So do you want to start on the project?" Still keeping that seductive smile on his face, he bent down and whispered into her ear. She shuddered delicately. This is so wrong…

"Sure…" Blushing furiously, Sango replied. She did not miss the glares coming from all directions of the room.

"I want to do a romance story, you know, about a guy who falls head over heels in love with a girl way out of his league." Inuyasha told her, obviously referring to the situation they were in. Sango was not a dumb girl. She noticed this right away, and blushed more, if possible. This is making me feel horrible…

"Um, Okay…"

"So do you want to meet at my house or yours?" Please say no…

"Your house, I guess." Sango's answer was meek.

"Okay, it's settled then, my place after school, 'kay?" She nodded hesitantly in response. God no…

Stretching back, Inuyasha reached out an arm purposely around her shoulders, and let it rest there. Sango looked away, clearly uncomfortable, although she didn't do anything to remove his arm from her. However, she missed the guilty l look that passed through his face.

Why am I feeling this way?


Another chapter done! I'm feeling productive…
