"Hey, I wonder what everyone is looking at over there." Kagome stated to her best friend as they were walking towards the entrance of the school building. Inuyasha just shrugged and ignored the people.

He hadn't been very close to any of his classmates other then Sango, Miroku and of course Kagome, and the main reason for that was because he was the only half demon currently attending Shikon High School. Majority of his school was filled with humans with a few demons sprinkled into the bunch and none of them seemed to care the he even existed and he liked it that way.

"Kagome, Hey over here I want to introduce you to somebody." Yelled one of Kagome's overly excited brunette friends. Kagome walked over to Yuri with Inuyasha not trailing to far behind. "Kogome this is my cousin wolf demon Kouga." Yuri said beginning the introduction "And Kouga this is one of my good friends Kagome."

Before Kagome could blink Kouga had grabbed her hand and was holding it between both of his and had kissed her cheek. "You smell beautiful Kagome, like peaches and cinnamon." Kagome couldn't help but blush at the forwardness of this guy in front of her.

"Umm thank you, it's nice to meet you too." Kagome offered giving Kouga a sweet smile, which she soon realized didn't go unnoticed by the group of people surrounding them and definitely not by Inuyasha who was growling just under his breathe.

Kagome pulled her hand away from Kouga and grabbed onto Inuyasha wrist in order to calm him and to stop him from making a scene. Her touch seemed to help because he stopped making any noise and just looked at her while her attention was still directed to Kouga.

"Well it was really nice to meet you but I have to get to class early today, I promised to help Mr. Chow set up for the history project in world studies today. See you around, bye." Kagome said backing away and pushing Inuyasha along with her. "Most defiantly." was Kouga's reply waving at her and turning his attention back to the group of students surrounding him.



Inuyasha took over the lead and dragged Kagome into the school and into a room no one ever used, the second floor math room. Pulling Kagome into the room he turned and shut the door. "What were you trying to do down there?" He asked with a slight raise in his voice. Inuyasha was now pacing back and forth in front of the door while Kagome was just leaning on one of the desks.

"Nothing, I was just saying hello. You saw me I didn't do anything wrong." Inuyasha stopped pacing and turned towards Kagome. "Like hell you were just saying hello, I saw the way you looked at him and let him kiss your cheek." He stated through gritted teeth

Kagome was use to Inuyasha's short temper and the fact that he was over protective of her. She slowly walked up to him and gave him a hug and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Inuyasha you have nothing to worry about I'm 16 I can take care of myself and whatever I can't take care of I know I'll always have you to take care of for me."

Inuyasha sighed and wrapped his arms around Kagome and buried his nose into her hair taking a deep breathe of his favorite smell in the world. "Good, you better remember that too." Kagome just shook her head and began to pull away from him.

Before she could get too far Inuyasha mouth was against hers in a kiss. Kagome quickly pulled away mostly because of surprise and looked at her best friend strangely. "What was that for?" She asked a little shocked.

Inuyasha looked away blushing then straight at Kagome. "I've been meaning to talk to you for a while about this but after how close I was to losing you to another guy this morning I'm tired of waiting. Kagome, would you mind if I asked you out?"

Kagome couldn't even speak, because she was taken aback by the question. Could she really go out with Inuyasha and turn their friendship into something more? What would happen if they broke up, could she actually kiss her best friend in a way that was a little more then friendly?



With her mind running on with questions and the doubts and concerns regarding them she leaned in, closed her eyes and kissed Inuyasha square on the lips. Inuyasha was surprised at first but soon let himself relax and began kissing her back.

Inuyasha opened his mouth slightly and ran his tongue along her bottom lip, Kagome opened her mouth and welcomed him inside. He quickly took advantage of the opportunity and gently swept his tongue along her mouth tasting everything he could, and then he started to twirl and rub his tongue gently against hers.

Kagome pulled away and hid her face in his neck holding onto him tight around the neck with his arms wrapped around her waist. Then she pulled away and looked straight into his eyes. "Of course I'll go out with you, if that's what you really want." Kagome said excited.

He couldn't help but smile, his best friend and the woman he had grown to love had actually accepted him as something more. Inuyasha grabbed onto Kagome and held her close in a tight hug. They stayed that way until they heard the morning bell chime indicating that they had a minute left before homeroom started and ran to class.

Author's Note: Okay…so that I don't have to go through and delete the previous chapters only because I want to give them titles now. I just want to say that this story is only 6 chapters long. Hence, the reason I said the Six Steps of Mating. I hope this chapter wasn't to confusing, and just so you know they are now 16 in the story, the next chapter they will be 18 so there is a time lapse going on. I hope that's not too confusing. Oh, and thanks for reading this and please review if you can. I really would love to know what everyone thinks so far. Palmerdreams.
