Author's Notes: well, happy late new year everyone, I just totally forgot to mention this in the previous chapter. Any way, on wit the story!

The Mission

"Aww crap. Why today of all days?" I commented looking at the wet getting-wetter path I had to take.

Now, of all the days the angels decided to cry. I almost wanted to cry myself, since I didn't want to ruin my new lime green converses, that I bought a couple of days ago, in another one of my shopping trips. I looked around and quickly moved back as I avoided the worse of the mud-splashing going on. I waited until most everyone had past the slushy, muddy path. I slowly arched one foot over a dangerous looking puddle of rain, and almost landed in it if Inuyasha hadn't caught me.

Weird how he always seems to be there when I'm about to make a huge fool of myself? The force of impact made me slightly bounce up and down on his arm, since his arm just happened to be in the way when I was about to fall.

"Thanks." I blushed, brushing away the little droplets of rain on my maroon skinny jeans. He chuckled and I found myself once again staring into his amber eyes. Damn, they're so beautiful. I mentally slapped myself, finally figuring out what I had done to make him chuckle. I'm such a dumb ass, everyone knows that you can't brush off rain, it will just spread the rain droplet and make your pants even wetter than it already was. I'm so dumb. Arrgh.

"Kagome you okay? You seem more out of it than usual." He stated, trying to hide his concern with a little tease.
"Yeah, and thanks again." I whispered.

"Come on I'll take you to your next class." He offered.

"Uhm, I think I'll skip. I don't want my new shoes to get dirty." I smiled.

"Baby. Fine, you don't have to walk, I'll carry you there." He whined.

"Uh, I'll wait for the rain to let up a little...then I'll go." I lied.

"No, Missy. Your going to class, if your parents knew that your not going to class because of a silly reason, it'll be my head." He whispered the last part, probably thinking I couldn't hear him.

"Fine, but how do I get to building 3 without touching the ground, huh? Tell me smarty pants? " I mocked.

"I told you I'll carry you."

"Fine." I huffed. I couldn't protest anyways since he was already grabbing my legs, carrying me bridal style.

His left hand is supporting my arms and up, and his other leg is right in the crease between my thigh and my calf. I blush, we definitely don't look like were going to class anytime soon, but I push the disturbing yet sexy thoughts away from my mind, as I think of how sexy he looks. Dammit, no dirty thoughts. Do you think Hanyous can smell your arousal? That single question reels me back to concentrating on a lie I would have to form to get away from detention, since I did skip at least thirty minutes of Kagura-san's class.

But even as I try to focus on that, I still can't forget the fact that Inuyasha is carrying me. The boy I am in love with is carrying me to class. And is still can't tear my eyes away from his God-like face, and his golden eyes, and his defined jaw, and his kissable lips...oh how his lips made me quiver with satisfaction. And that's just looking at them...I can just imagine how they would feel against my own.

But the thought that haunted me last night interrupted my little fantasy. Am I in love with Inuyasha enough that I'd take on the challenge to dismiss him of his player stature, and replace it with a title that doesn't have anything to do with whores? I ponder on that question the whole rest of the walk, though I notice the slow blush that's spreading on Inuyasha's face. I giggle and he looks at me.

"What are you laughing at?" He asks me.

"Why are you blushing?" I ask him, mockingly.

"Keh! Why do you care?" He smartly returns the question back to me.

"You still didn't answer my question though." I grinned.

Nothing would ever replace the feeling of fear as I did the moment he dropped me into the mud. Well, maybe not exactly fear, but something close to that. I screamed the whole a second and a half I was airborne, awaiting, knowing my faith once the falling stops.

Slurp! Splash! Splat!

The moment I have been dreading came all to quickly, and so did my tears apparently. I think Inuyasha smelt them before he saw them because when I looked up he was already walking away, and then all of a sudden he stops in his tracks.

"Kagome, why are you crying?" He whispered.

"I don't know. Maybe, its because of the fact that you dropped me in the mud and walked away, without asking me if I'm okay, or anything." I snapped.

"I'm sorry, Kagome, I didn't mean to...scratch that I did mean to drop you in the mud. But I didn't think you would make such a big deal out of it." He said, his back still facing me.

"It's okay, don't mind me. I've already kept you from your class long enough." I stated.

"No, I can't just leave you here like this, plus the bells gonna ring in like five seconds." He nodded, walking back to me.

Okay, that was the melodramatic version. It actually went a lot simpler than that, bet I like that version better. We ended up skipping the rest of the day, and crashed in my pad.

I took a shower while he played one of the game consoles I have, for when the guys come over, or my little brother Souta. I decided to dress in some comfortable jogging pants with a matching hoodie, in the hue of yellow. The total opposite of the gray colored sky.

"Oi Kagome, I'm hungry." Inuyasha yelled towards the kitchen where I was cooking us a large serving of ramen noodles.

"God, Inuyasha, wait just a second, I'm almost done here, goodness gracious." I yelled back, spilling the noodles into two separate bowls, one for me and one for him.

For him...

Once again, I was consumed with the question I was pondering on earlier. Maybe...that was the answer, I haven't really thought out how I would change him, or if I can change him at all. But I guess what they say is really true, love does make you do crazy things.

"Kagggoooommeeee!" Inuyasha called out in a sing-song voice.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." I answered, breaking away from my previous thoughts.

"Kagome? I have a question." He asked me shyly.

"Shoot."

"What kind of guys do you like?"

That question made me stop brushing my hair, and my heart. Why would he ask such a question? I can never understand him, one day he drops me in mud, and the next he asks me what kinda guys I like?! Maybe Inuyasha's bipolar? I sat there, eying him, my mouth still agape.

"Uh...never mind, forget that I ever asked that question." He quickly said, after two minutes of me starring at him in confusion.

"Okay." I whispered and got up.

Later that night I decided to call Sango, and tell her about what happened, and what was bothering me oh, so dearly.

"Sango, he asked me what kind of guy I like?! What does that mean?"

"Maybe he likes you..."

"No, I don't know. But if he did, I don't wanna go out with the player."

"Well, change him then."

"That's what I was planning. But how?"

"Uhm...oh I know, we should give him like little lessons or something."

"That's a good idea, but how are we gonna present this to him?"

"We'll say that it'll help him find a mate, since he is nearing his "mating age.""

"Okay, but your gonna give him the lessons, but I'll think them?"
"No way, we'll alternate, therefore giving you some alone time with him."

"Oh, that's a great idea!"

"We'll code name this mission, well call it...How to Change a Player's Heart!"

"Okay."

"We'll keep a notebook about it, so we don't repeat lessons and everything like that!"
"Yup."

"Okay, see ya tomorrow!"

I sighed and hung up. Sleep laying its claim on me.

Author's Notes: So I'm not entirely proud of this chapter. But if you guys have any idea on how I can do dome fluff on Inuyasha and Kagome, I'll gladly take some. I tried to add some fluff here, but I don't think it worked very well here.

Well, flame or review!

I'll accept both! Adios.
