AN: Hey guys, sorry I haven't written in 2 months. It's just been really hard right now. One of my very close friends committed suicide and I'm just starting to move on. I guess the saying is true, "you really don't miss something until it's gone." Plus with school and cramming for school it can get kind of hectic. Anyways, I tried to make this chapter a little bit longer so i hope you like it.

Sesshoumaru's utter surprise at the bizarre statement the girl had said caused him to be off guard and his usual icy demeanor to drop. Before he could ask her what she meant, the sound of clicking heels was approaching them fast.

"SESSHOUMARU!" yelled a stout woman of 5'2, "Just what do you think you are doing! Put her down immediately. I will have none of this nonsense in my school, both of you in my office now!"

Sesshoumaru looked at the principle with pure hatred and dropped Kagome not to gently on to the cool hard marble floor.

Bending down he whispered into Kagome's ear, "You should be glad that our beloved principle was here to save you. However, next time you won't be so lucky."

Kagome sent him a death glare, "Bring it on."

Getting up as gracefully as she could, Kagome picked herself off the ground and turned to the principle. "Ms. Kaede, I believe there has been a misunderstanding. Obviously you meant Sesshoumaru in your office not me."

"Is your hearing that weak wench, she clearly stated the both of us. Might I suggest a hearing aid maybe then you'll be able to hear decently," sneered Sesshoumaru.

"Shut-up and go play with your chew toy, dog!" shouted Kagome.

They were both too distracted to notice a furious principle getting angrier by the second. "Enough! I have had it both of you report to my office before I expel you both from this school!" screamed Kaede as she marched into her office, followed closely by Kagome and Sesshoumaru.

Kaede sat down in her burgundy colored chair at her desk, and gestured for Sesshoumaru and Kagome to take the other two chairs across from her. Looking at Sesshoumaru she pulled out a police report and slid it across the table towards him.

"It says there in that police report that you were not only drinking on school property but vandalizing it as well. I warned you Sesshoumaru that if you continued on this path that there would be dire consequences. Being the gracious woman that I am, I decided not to press charges. However, this is where you come into play Kagome, as of now Sesshoumaru will work after school at your shrine until he learns his lesson.

"B.. that could take centuries," Kagome sputtered at the shocking news. "This isn't fair! I didn't do anything wrong so why am I being punished? My grandfather would never agree to this…this foolishness!"

"I'm afraid he already has," stated Kaede. She glanced at Sesshoumaru, "And what do you have to say, for one so opinionated I am surprised you are so quiet?"

Sesshoumaru's aura radiated rage. How dare this insolent bitch tell me, the great Sesshoumaru, what to do! I will not lower myself to work with human filth, let only be near one. How I would love to wring that old hag's neck as my poison slowly seeped through her body destroying her from the inside out. A small smirk adorned his face, "Yes that would be a very pleasing. "Maybe I should give it a try," as he flexed his claws poison gathering at the tips.

"I will have no part in this wench. Take your punishment to someone who deserves it," scoffed Sesshoumaru as he stood up to leave.

"Sit down, Sesshoumaru! If you fail to complete your punishment not only will I expel you, but I will press charges. I highly doubt you would get into any decent college with that on your record," smugly replied Kaede.

Sesshoumaru sent her a look of pure hatred but remained silent.

"Good, I take your silence as an agreement." Turning to Kagome, "Expect Sesshoumaru to be waiting for you after school so that you may show him where you live, now both of you off to class!"

Kagome and Sesshoumaru stood up and departed from her office. They glanced at each other once before turning their noses up at each other and going in the opposite directions.

Once she was a good distance away from Sesshoumaru she let out a soft sigh." Thinks are going to get interesting with him around. I just hope I don't purify his pompous. Sighing again, Kagome slowly made her way to her class. "I hate being late. All those kids staring at me it's so unnerving," she thought as she opened the door to her class room, forgetting all about what had transpired recently.

The shrill sound of the school bell rang, signaling the students that school was over, students were rushing and scrambling out of there seats, hastily grabbing their books and running out of the classroom. All the students had left but one black-haired girl who sported a thoughtful expression as she put her books in her book bag with care.

"What a relief. I thought this day would never end," she thought as she smiled to herself. Picking up her book bag, she walked out of the classroom and headed over to her locker where a lone figure with long silver hair was standing. "How could I have forgotten! Great! And here I thought I might be able to have a peaceful afternoon." Letting out a heavy sigh, she approached him.

Sesshoumaru was leaning regally against Kagome's locker. He knew Kagome was approaching him before he saw her. Her distinct scent of jasmine with a hint of something he couldn't quiet place filled his nose. "She has a nice scent," he thought absentmindedly. "Wait! Why would I be thinking such things about human filth? I must not have gotten enough sleep today." He was abruptly brought out of his thoughts when he sensed Kagome in front of him a small smile on her face.

"Hey, I know we didn't exactly get off on the right foot, but if you want this punishment to be easy we need to be on at least mutual grounds," said Kagome.

Sesshoumaru staring blankly at her, he replied with a simple "Hn."

"Fine don't say anything thing," huffed Kagome.

Turning on her heels, she began to walk out the entrance of the school. When she didn't hear Sesshoumaru, she turned around to see him still leaning against her locker.

"Hurry up will you, I don't have all day!" shouted Kagome.

Before she could even blink, Sesshoumaru was standing right in front of her.

"Don't presume you can order this Sesshoumaru around miko," he stated coldly.

Glaring at him she said, "You can hate me all you want, Sesshoumaru I don't give a damn what you think," and with that she began to head to entrance to the school again.
