Last Time:

"Damn him and his stupid promises," Kagome said throwing her history book. It hit the wall and almost hit her cat, Buyo. (sp?) "Oh my God are you ok Buyo?" Kagome said rushing over to her cat and petting him. She started to rub his ears and he started to purr. It reminded her so much of Inuyasha that she burst into tears, burying her face in Buyo's fur.

"Oh Buyo, what did I do?" she sobbed. "Why me?"

Chapter 4: Group Project Part II

Kagome woke up after crying herself to sleep the night before. She was still tired, but she dragged herself out of bed and got ready for school. The school day went well, if you didn't count the fact that Inuyasha would look evilly at her if she talked to another guy or the fact that all her friends kept asking if she was ok.

"Jeeze can't they just leave me alone for a minute, I won't break, I promise," Kagome said to Sango as they walked home.

"Kagome!" a voice yelled from behind her. Kagome turned around to see Sara waving her arm.

"Oh crap, I forgot about that stupid project we have to do in chemistry," Kagome said sighing and waving back to show she understood.

"Oh, that, yea I have Miroku, Chelsea and some other guy coming over tonight to work on it. Where are you going?"

"Inuyasha's," Kagome said with a curled lip, but still a little sad.

"Do I detect sadness Kags?" Sango said putting an arm around her shoulder.

"Of course not, I'm fine," Kagome said giving Sango a hug and walking towards Inuyasha's house. "It's only for a week," she said waving to Sango. When she caught up with Sara they started to walk. Sara was talking about her boyfriend and Kagome was nodding in the right spots, but she wasn't really listening. When they arrived at Inuyasha's house they found Amanda already there, waiting outside for Inuyasha and the rest of the group.

"Hey guys," Amanda said waving at them. "Do you know where Inuyasha is?"

"No, isn't he here?" Sara asked.

"No, wait there's his car," Amanda said pointing at Inuyasha's car.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late, I had to drive a friend home," Inuyasha said getting out of his car.

"Was it a girl friend?" Sara said winking and nudging Inuyasha playfully. Kagome winced, but stayed quiet.

"Well, actually it was a girl friend of mine," Inuyasha said smiling, "But just a friend." Sara and Inuyasha walked into the house joking about his relationship with his mystery passenger. Amanda went in after taking a long look at Kagome. Kagome followed all of them. He can replace me after such a short time? Kagome thought as she went towards Inuyasha's room.

The group was working on their project, with few interruptions or snide comments until Amanda asked Inuyasha for help on researching her topic. He got up to help her and Kagome thought he got a little to close, he was practically holding her hand and sitting on her chair.

This was too much for Kagome, who looked at her watch and saw that their hour was almost up. Thank god, I can leave now, Kagome thought. She slammed her books shut and put them on Inuyasha's bookshelf. Picking up her backpack she slung it over her shoulder and started to leave the room.

"I'm leaving, see you guys later," Kagome said over her shoulder as she left.

"What's up with her?" Inuyasha asked, confused.

"Maybe the fact that your relationship with her didn't seem important enough for you to actually stay single for a month. I mean you're flirting with Sara and me and you drove one of your girl friends home today. That wouldn't make me happy. Put yourself in her shoes, see what you would do," Amanda said getting up. She put her things in her backpack and leaving. "You might want to rethink the way you act towards her."

"Me? I have to rethink?!" Inuyasha spluttered as he sat on the chair that Amanda had just left, confused.

"Well, she is right. You don't like it when she talks to other guys, how do you think she feels when you flirt with other girls in front of her?" Sara said.

"You have a point, but I think I'm just confused."

"Well-" Sara started when her cell-phone rang. She answered it and made a face. "I have to go, my mom is here. We'll talk later?"

"Uh, sure?" Inuyasha said as she left. "Man, could today get any weirder?" he asked himself. Inuyasha got up and walked over to his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hey Kikyo, how are you?...good...did you get in your house ok?..." Inuyasha talked to Kikyo for hours. He was wondering why Kagome had been acting weird lately, and asked Kikyo for her thoughts.

"She's probably just jealous of me Inu-darling," she said. Inuyasha just scoffed at the idea and changed the subject.

At Kagome's House:

"Kagome? I was just about to call and see if you needed a ride home. You ok?" Kagome's mom asked as she walked through the door.

"I'm fine mom," Kagome gasped out. She was flushed and sweaty.

"What did you do, run home?"

"Something like that," Kagome nodded.

"But it's two miles away!" Kagome's mom said surprised. Kagome just shrugged it off and went to her room. She dropped her stuff on the floor and took a quick shower. She then started to do her homework, but only put half her thought into it.

Who did he drive home? Does he have feelings for her? What should I do? Kagome thought all these thoughts and more in an endless cycle.

"Man I need sleep," Kagome said shutting her books. She got ready for bed and crawled under the covers.

The Next Morning:

Inuyasha rolled out of bed and shut off his alarm.

"I so wish today was a Saturday...heck even a Friday would work," Inuyasha mumbled to himself as he got out of bed.

"Talking to yourself again brother?" Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's half brother, said as he walked by the door.

"Oh, shut up Sesshomaru. I don't bug you," Inuyasha said as he threw a shoe at the door. "Not normally anyway," he added. He got up and got ready for school. When he got there he saw Kagome standing with a group of guys. She was laughing and flirting with many of them. One of the guys around her smelled familiar and his hair looked like that wolf's.

"Oh damn. Not that stupid mutt again. Damn won't he get a hint? Wait...aww crap...she's single. How could I forget that?" Inuyasha mused as he walked by. He gave all the guys evil looks and refused to look at Kagome. She pretended not to notice, but she saw him and that made her want to give one of the guys a hug to make him good and jealous. Not looking at who she grabbed she took a hold of one of the guys nearby.

"Hey, can I get a hug?" she asked, looking up. She saw Kouga and his wonderful blue eyes. She blushed and gave him a quick hug.

"See Kagome, I knew you would be my woman someday," Kouga joked. Kagome just smiled weakly and tried to think of a way out of this.

"Hey, do you hear that. Sounds like the bell. Guess I gotta go now!" Kagome said waving at the guys and walking off.

"Come on Kagome, I'll help you get there," Kouga said putting his arm around her shoulders.

"I think I can get there myself, but thanks anyway Kouga," Kagome said with a smile. Man I can't believe I would do that. But I think I do like him...at least a little.

Ok...I know...kinda short...but thats all i had at the time...
