Hey guys. First and foremost, I would like to apologize for my lack of updates on this story. I had to finish my other fic, 'To Sing A Song, To Paint A Masterpiece'. Which is now finished, feel free to read it. This story and 'The Love Never Dies' were both on hold until then. But, there not now, so please continue to enjoy 'Can You Help Me?'
Getting To Know You Better Part I
Inuyasha strutted down the hallways of the school with Kikyou almost glued to his arm. It's not as if he minded anyway. Some people thought he was an ass for dating a whore like Kikyou, but he really didn't care. He was rich, they weren't. Tough luck.
"Inu-poo, can you buy me a diamond necklace for my birthday?"
Inuyasha sighed. This was the only downside to dating Kikyou. She was a complete gold-digger. But with those looks, he didn't pay attention half the time.
"Sure, whatever Kikyou." Inuyasha said as they came to the point where they had to spilt up and Inuyasha had to go to Goth Hall.
"See ya." He said, walking away from her without looking back. Kikyou waved at him like a hyper active fan girl.

In Goth Hall, Inuyasha wanted to get in and out. Quick. One, because he wasn't too far away from giving that goth Kouga a bloody nose. Two, that goth chick Rin was creepy. Her locker was right next to his.
Inuyasha threw his crap in his locker and started to pull out stuff he would actually need.
"Hi there."
Inuyasha whipped around to see Kagome standing there. She was dressed in black leggings with a nice black shirt. Her hair was down as usual, and she wore no makeup.
"Oh, hey. You're Kagome, right?" He asked, slamming his locker closed and leaning against it.
Kagome nodded. "Im not sure how you know my name though, newbie." She said in the most cheerful voice.
Inuyasha snorted. "Uh, Im hardly a newbie. Just about everybody knows me."
Kagome quirked a brow. "And? You're still a newbie in my eyes, Inuyasha. No matter how popular you are, or how popular you get. And no matter how much of prep you are."
Inuyasha shrugged. "Who cares what some emo goth thinks. In my eyes you're still some unpopular, not to mention, not rich, chick who's a wannabe."
Kagome scowled. "What are you saying? You think I wanna be like your little preppy bitch, Kikyou? Get real, prep."
Kouga suddenly decided to pop up out of nowhere and slip his arm around Kagome's shoulders.
"You got a problem, mutt?"
Inuyasha scowled. "No, but you will if you don't stop calling me that ya scrawny emo wolf!"
Kagome laughed. "Boys, boys, calm down. Kouga, let's get going to English, huh?" She said, giving Kouga a peck on the cheek.
He didn't know why, but that somehow disturbed Inuyasha. Like he suddenly felt a sudden possessiveness towards her.
But on the outside, he only growled.
"Emo wolf and wench. Im going to hang out with normal people. See ya." He said, walking down the hallway.
Kagome laughed from behind him. "See ya in Physics, hon!" She said, walking another way with Kouga.

Inuyasha sat in his Spanish class. He was sitting with the regulars, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and now Kikyou.
"Hey Inuyasha, what took you so long to get here? You';re twelve minutes late." Miroku said.
Inuyasha sighed. "I know. I ran into that emo wench Kagome. Kouga was with her, too."
Sango smirked. "Do I sense a hint of jealousy at Kagome being with Kouga?"
Inuyasha laughed. "Get real. Why would I go for some weird goth chick?"
Shippo nodded. "I guess he's right, I mean, come on, going out with a goth is social suicide." He said, taking a bite out of a chocolate bar.
Miroku, Kikyou, and Sango all nodded. "So, Inu-poo what did that lame emo say to you?" Kikyou asked.
Inuyasha scowled. "Called me a newbie, then she called me a prep."
Kikyou gasped with disbelief. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all had bored expressions. All three of them hated Kikyou.
"How dare she! Im gonna shove my maid's stiletto so far up her-
"Kikyou! Shut the hell up for five minutes!" Sango yelled. Kikyou turned red with bitchy anger.
"Who are you to talk, Sango? You cant tell me what to do!"
"But I can, so do what she said and shut the hell up." Myoga said, walking in and sitting in his desk.
Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo burst into laughter. Kikyou frowned and lifted her head up in a bitchy matter.
This was gonna be a terrible Spanish class for her.

Soon enough, it was lunchtime and Inuyasha was walking back to his table with his lunch. He paid no mind to the world around him as he daydreamed and somehow seemed to be making it back to his table without tripping. He was currently wondering about Kagome. She seemed peppy, sometimes, and others she seemed like that average goth. Then every now and again, she would be a kind but sarcastic girl. He knew this because, no less than a week ago, he had been transferred into Physics class. Which was one of the most boring subjects.
He couldn't deny it, though. Kagome was a beautiful girl, and he might've considered her if she wasn't a goth and didn't think he was a prep. Not to mention, the problem of Kouga. Damn, he hated that wolf.
Inuyasha continued to let his thoughts wander until he bumped into something. Or rather, someone.
"Ah! Watch it prep!" Kagome yelled, as she wiped yogurt off of her shirt.
Inuyasha snapped back to reality. "You watch it ya emo wench!" He yelled.
Kagome scowled. "Im not the one daydreaming while walking! You bumped into me!"
Inuyasha growled. "You walked where I was likely to bump into you!"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Im gone." She said, walking away.
Inuyasha snorted. "Good." He said, walking to his table. He sat down next to Miroku and started to converse with his friends who were all popular.
He talked until he felt something hit the back of his head, and he turned around. Kagome and Kouga were snickering.
Inuyasha growled, which caused Miroku to turn around. "What's the matter?"
Inuyasha only signaled for him to look ahead at the Goth Table. (hehe.)
Miroku nodded and grabbed a random milk container off of the table and flung it at Kouga's head.
Kouga quickly whipped around. Inuyasha and Miroku snickered and waved innocently.
They could see Kagome laughing a bit too. "That's how you want it, eh? FOOD FIGHT!!!" She yelled.
Everyone suddenly started throwing food at that one outburst. Inuyasha got hit with tapioca pudding. Sango started fighting food off. And Kikyou screamed and tackled one of the lunch ladies for her hair net. Miroku and Inuyasha were the main one's throwing stuff from their side, though.
"Take that!" Miroku yelled, as he threw a muffin at one of the Goth's.
"And that!" Inuyasha yelled, practically propelling broccoli at the Goth table.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!????" Principal Kaede yelled as she entered the lunchroom.
Everyone froze. Then, Inuyasha and Kagome came to their senses.
"He/she started it!" They both yelled, pointing at one another.
Kaede sighed. "Fine then! Both of you will clean up this mess and get to class! Everybody else, go to class! NOW!!" She yelled.
Everyone screamed and ran out of the lunchroom except for Inuyasha and Kagome.
Kagome frowned. "This is all you're fault ya know." She said, picking up a mop.
Inuyasha growled. "My fault?! You were the one that flung food at my head!"
Kagome got in Inuyasha's face. "You shouldnt've bumped into me!!!" She yelled.
Inuyasha turned red at how close she was. "Feh. Stupid wench. Just start cleaning." He said, picking up a push broom.
Kagome sighed and started to mop. "Stupid prep, trying to order me around..."
"Stupid emo, getting me in trouble..." Inuyasha mumbled.
Despite his words, Inuyasha took the time to admire Kagome while they cleaned. Her face had a tint of red from her being angry and her lips were formed in a put. He had to admit, even when angry, she looked cute. Her hair covered the side of her face now as she bent down to rinse the mop out in the bucket.
Inuyasha blushed at his thoughts and continued to sweep.
"What are you so red for?" Kagome asked in a snappy way. Even though, you could hear the worry shining through her voice.
Inuyasha blushed harder. "Uh,um, no reason. I think it's just really hot in here." He said.
Kagome quirked a brow. "Inuyasha, its 75 degrees outside. You couldn't possibly be hot, especially with short sleeves on."
Inuyasha only turned redder at that statement. "Uh, eh, shut the hell up wench!" He yelled. Anger was the way to go.
Kagome scowled. "Have it you're way prep!" She yelled, picking her mop up again.
Inuyasha gave her one more look and sighed. This was going to be along lunch hour.

Inuyasha walked into his last class for the day, Physics. He and Kagome had spent so much time cleaning, that they had missed two classes for the afternoon and only had this one left. This was the only class he didn't have with Miroku and the guys.
However, he had this class with Kagome and Kouga. Oh joy.
He sat down across from Kagome and stared straight ahead. His teacher this hour, was Miroku's foster father, Mushin Houshi. The class just called him Mushin, though.
"Hey dog-turd, lemme sit there." Kouga said, suddenly standing over Inuyasha's desk.
Inuyasha growled. "Go find another seat, ya emo scrawny wolf. My ass is currently occupying it." He said, rubbing his butt into the seat for emphasis.
Kouga growled. "You wanna get your ass kicked you little-
"Kouga! Sit down!" Mushin said, walking in the room and standing in the front of the class.
Kouga mumbled something and sat down two rows across from Kagome. Inuyasha snickered.
Mushin started talking, and Kagome turned her head and stuck her tongue out at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha smirked and flipped her off. Kagome cocked a brow, while she threw a small ball of paper at his head. Surprisingly, it hit his ears.
She's done it now. Inuyasha growled and threw a ruler at Kagome. It hit her on the side of the head, and she frowned. She was reaching for her shoe to throw it at him when...
"Kagome! Inuyasha! Since you two are so intrigued by each other, you will be partners for our year long project!" Mushin yelled.
Kagome and Inuyasha's jaws dropped open. "WHAT?! HE/SHE STARTED IT!!!" They both yelled.
Mushin frowned. "For that outburst, you both will stay behind and clean my classroom at the end of the day. Understood?" He said, turning around.
Inuyasha scowled and started mumble stuff under his breath. Kagome turned away from looking at him and sighed.
Great, more cleaning.
33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
It was after school and Kagome and Inuyasha were washing the chalkboard. Inuyasha was grumbling stuff under his breath while Kagome took the occasional glance at him.
Inuyasha has some REALLY nice muscles. Wonder how he looks with a shirt off... Ah! Bad thoughts Kagome! What about Kouga?! Kagome thought as she scrubbed the chalkboard furiously as if she were scrubbing away the growing blush on her face.
Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow. "Hey wench, why are you scrubbing the board so hard? Mad at it or something?" He joked.
Kagome frowned at him, but she was still blushing. "Oh shut up. I just wanna get this job finished quick. That's all. Nothing more!" She shouted nervously.
Inuyasha eyed her with suspicion, then he turned back to his side of the board.
"Weird wench."
"Stupid prep."
"Emo wench."
"Rude, stupid prep."
They both growled at each other. "SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" They both yelled.
Kagome let out an agitated scream. "Why did I have to get stuck doing this with you?!" She yelled.
Inuyasha growled. "What?! You're prefer you're scrawny wolf?!" He yelled, with a growing blush on his face.
Kagome turned redder. "Maybe I do! So what!" She yelled, throwing a sponge at him.
Inuyasha smirked and retaliated furiously. He threw sponge after sponge at her.
"Ah! Stop! Damn you!" Kagome threw a roll of paper towel in his direction.
Inuyasha ducked it and it hit the board. He squirted her with water from the spray bottle thingy. Kagome screamed and laughed as she picked up the whole bucket of water and threw it in his direction. But, it missed and hit the board. Leaving it spotless.
Kagome panted. "Well, we cleaned the board. I guess we can go now."
Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah. My dad's picking me up. Want a ride?"
Kagome was quiet for a moment before she smiled at him. "No, that's okay. Maybe some other time when we're working on that project."
Inuyasha nodded. Then, Kagome gasped. "Oh! I almost forgot! Here, this is the address to the shrine I live at. Come by tomorrow and we'll get started on this project thingy." She said, handing him a sheet of paper.
Inuyasha quirked a brow. "Shrine?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Got a problem with shrines preppy hanyou?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "Not really. See ya." He said, walking out of he door.
Kagome looked after him and smiled. That Inuyasha, maybe hanging out with him would work after all. Kagome picked up her backpack and walked out the door.
I can only hope.
Done! Hope you guys liked it. Well, review. Also, keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' Entitled: Getting To Know You Better Part II. Hey if you think about it, this had almost nothing to do with getting to no one another, except for the last scene of the story where they are cleaning the classroom. Oh well. The next chapter will have that though.
Question of the day: Would you work with practically your arch enemy to get a good grade? Or would you just take the F?
With that said, Sayonara!
