Chapter 20

Dares and Crushes

Winter was now upon the city, and that meant two things for the students of the first ever all youkai and human school, the winter dance and final exams. Kagome had been studying like crazy, but that wasn't so simple when her mother was harassing her about something one minute, and she put her pencil to daydream about Inuyasha the next. Why was she turning into such a mess anyways? Inuyasha was just using her to meet Ayame's bluff, nothing more.

"Hey wench get over here," Inuyasha called out to her from one of the tables in the courtyard.

"Inuyasha less talking and more eating," Amethyst sighed looking down at the lunch she had made especially for him, "we have first period finals today and breakfast is the best way to have your mind focused."

"Whatever," he grumbled watching as his date for the winter dance sat down, "ready for pull ups in gym today?"

"You know I'm not the most athletic girl there Inuyasha," she noted taking out her notebooks to look over her algebra notes even though it would be a breeze since they had hardly been taught anything, "even with a bit of your power."

"I hate sharing my demonic power," the purple haired hanyou noted, "the humans never even know how to use it and I'm always paying the price. Inuyasha eat!"

"I'm not hungry!"

Kagome examined the scene in front of her. Who was this girl, she'd only seen her a few times in the hallway. Of course she stuck out like a swore thumb, because like today she made the decision not to wear her school uniform and a pair of jeans and t-shirt instead, but what did she have to do with Inuyasha? She then noticed the dog-ears on top of her head, they shade of purple they took were close to red. Kind of like Embers, she must have been Inuyasha's cousin or something.

"You two are related?" she asked with a smile.

Amethyst shook her head, "Not really. I'm Ember's daughter, and Sesshoumaru's mom is my grandma. Inuyasha has a different mother so we have no blood in common at all. You don't think of me as a relative, do you Inuyasha?"

"Not when your cramming food down my throat that's not pop tarts, now go somewhere else Aimee. Don't you have a boyfriend or something?"

"No because I'm not a whore like you!" she declared standing up.

Kagome noticed that the female hanyou looked a bit saddened. That look on her face, it was so obvious. Amethyst had a crush on Inuyasha. Inuyasha was such an idiot! How did he not notice this stuff? Maybe after the dance Kagome could work on trying to get these two together. They would make such a lovely couple.

"And you're Kagome right?" Amethyst knew that she must of come off as a bossy snob on their first encounter and she quickly wanted to change that, she wasn't like all the other girls who took an interest in Inuyasha, "it was nice meeting you."

"You too," Kagome smiled, "but can I ask you a question. Why is it that you don't have to wear a uniform?"

"Oh that. Don't worry about it. Like our principal or any of the teachers, care about policy or anything. I dare you to wear your normal clothes tomorrow and see what I mean. No one will do anything."

That was kind of a relief to Kagome. She hated her uniform, and always had. Honestly, girls running around in skirts this short, wasn't that just asking for trouble? Coming to school just laid back in a comfortable pair of sweats would be great and help her relax for her final.

"Leaving Aimee?" Inuyasha smirked, "don't forget your pencil."

"Inuyasha quit being a jerk," Kagome said, "your friend made this lovely lunch for you, and you're going to eat it. Maybe if you ate more healthy food and got some breakfast in you wouldn't have to fill up on all that greasy stuff later."

His ears twitched uncomfortably, "Don't act like you know me and can give me lectures."

Kagome's hands went to her side, "I'm not lecturing you, I'm just saying, JUST EAT THE FOOD AND SHUT UP!"

At first that scared the hell out of Inuyasha to the point that he was eating some sushi from the lunch box. Kagome, a mere human girl, had power over him? Well, he was a demon, but that wasn't a foe he wanted to cross while angry.

While noticing that the food was pretty good he also thought about how cute Kagome could look when she was angry.

Wait a minute, cute?

Words like that didn't belong anywhere in his head, but Kagome- she was- good looking. She had been on his thoughts constantly ever since that day at the mall. He liked her, he'd made up his mind about that. Too bad she was only going to the dance with him to make a statement to that bitch Ayame.

"Good food Kagome," he noted as he finished feeling a lot better, this breakfast thing really did work.

"I didn't make it," Kagome felt awkward having to remind him.

"Yeah well," Aimee's head hung low, she'd been defeated, "at least he liked it."

She turned around ready to leave, "See yeah at basketball practice Inuyasha."

"I'm not going."

"Oh, okay."

Inuyasha threw away the container now that he was finished and turned his attention to Kagome. He may have mentioned a few things about the dance and gym class but Kagome wasn't paying attention. That was the worst kind of rejection anyone could receive. Inuyasha had acted like he didn't acknowledge Amethyst at all.

"You're such a jerk Inuyasha!" Kagome declared angrily gathering up all her stuff.

His eyes widened, "Wait Kagome, where are you going? Did I say something wrong?'

"That's the worst part of it! You don't even know what you did! I'll see you in gym."

"Kagome wait!" he watched as she disappeared back into the school building.

What in the hell did he do? All he did was tell her that they could do the whole limo thing for the dance and he wouldn't be able to stay the whole five hours because Sesshoumaru's mother wanted him home before 11.

"Feh, women," he grabbed all of his stuff not even remember what would be on his exam for this class period.

(End of Chapter 20)

AN: Short as hell, but sue me. This was just to say 'hey Amethyst isn't related to Inuyasha and she has a crush on him'. Seems kind of like a waste of space, but keep it all in mind. A soap opera this fic is.

Next time on Not Another High School Fic

Narrated by: Kouga

I like Kagome, sure she's not the hottest girl in school, but she is much more innocent and fun then all those other bitches. It doesn't matter what I want her for Inuyasha. I claimed her as mine, oh you want a fight? Fine, it's your funeral.
