Chapter 25: Maybe, Just Maybe

"I cannot believe I have four classes with this egoistical, chauvinistic pig," Kagome groaned, burring her head in her arms.

Miroku, sitting next to her, soothed her by rubbing her back. "It's alright, Kags," he soothed.

Kagome slightly lifted her head and glared at Miroku. "Miroku," she growled, "you better raise your hand up before I smack you and tell your girlfriend that you were about to molest me."

Miroku laughed nervously and brought his rubbing hand up since it was slowly going down to Kagome's lower back.

"Hey guys," they heard and looked up, seeing Sango walking toward the table with her lunch tray.

"Hey, Sango," Kagome muttered.

As Sango sat down, in front of Kagome and Miroku, she smiled at her friend.

"Hey, babe." Miroku grinned and leaned over to plant a soft kiss on his girlfriend's lips.

Sango gave him a loving smile.

Kagome groaned again and buried her head once again in her arms.

"What's with her?" Sango asked, drinking her milk.

Miroku shrugged. "Kouga," he simply said.

"Oh." Sango nodded understanding. "So the guy has a crush on you, so what? Not the first time," she said casually to Kagome.

Kagome lifted her head. "I know but he sits next to me in all those classes and he his pathetic attempt to flirt with me are so annoying," she whined.

Sango shrugged. "Deal with it."

"Geese! Thanks for the support," Kagome said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Then she felt Miroku nudge her. She looked at him. "Yes?"

"Um . . ." he hesitated. "What will you do if Kouga was coming in the lunch room and walking towards us?"

Kagome narrowed her eyes and looked at the entrance and DID find Kouga walking over to them and he had that stupid smirk on his face. It reminded her of someone . . .

"Bloody hell," Kagome whispered and turned away. She saw Sango looking at her with smiley eyes. Kagome mouthed 'Fuck You.' Sango couldn't help but chuckle.

"Kagome!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and mentally groaned. She turned around with a straight face and raised a brow at Kouga who sat next to her.

"How are you, beautiful?" he asked sweetly.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, not even bothering to answer his question.

Kouga smiled just smiled at her and shrugged. "Thought since I didn't have lunch until next period I would come and see you," he said in his smooth tone.

Kagome look at him up and down and looked away. "I don't associate with people who cut classes and not take school seriously," she said in her soft voice.

Kouga chuckled. "Well sorry to burst your bubble but I was not cutting class."

Kagome looked at him with a side glance. "Really?" not sounding convinced.

"I'm actually here to give a message to one of the teachers who I do not know who he is and thought you could tell me where he is," Kouga said to her.

Kagome slowly turned her head to face him. "Who is he?"

"Mr. Mark."

"He's the man who sits next to the garbage can and wears rectangular glasses," she muttered, looking away.

"Thanks." He started to get up and was ready to leave. However, he didn't leave without saying one last thing to her. He leaned down to her ear. "Just so you know," he whispered into her ear seductively, "you may be hot, Kagome, but you don't intimidate me at all. And from what I know your friend have cut last period." With that he left.

"Oh my god," Sango said slowly, looking at Kagome.

"What?" Kagome asked, wondering why her friend is looking at her in pure shock.

Then she felt Miroku wrap his arm around her shoulders and sighed.

"Sweetie," he said, "you're blushing."

Kagome's eyes widen.

"Okay class," the History teacher began to say, "I decided to have everyone do a project on the Feudal Era.'

Everyone in the class groaned.

"Now, now," she said. "We are going to do it in pair."

Everyone sighed in relief.

"But I get to pick the partners." the teacher grinned.

Everyone groaned.

She looked around the class and shrugged. "I'll make it simple ," she said, walking over the first two rows. "Since there are six rows, everyone in each two rows are partners. For example, Kouga and Kagome."

Kouga looked at Kagome with a smile. "Lucky I guess," he said.

Kagome rolled her eyes and looked over to Sango. 'Help Me,' she mouthed.

Sango furrowed her brows and mouthed, 'Help Me!' with more meaning since she was stuck with a creepy guy sitting next to her.

"Kouga, I see that you are not really following the lessons as everyone else," Ms. Hana, the Calculus teacher said, sitting at her desk and staring at the small quiz the class took and Kouga failed it.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hana, but at my last school my original teacher retired and we kept having substitutes that didn't even know the material," Kouga pouted.

Ms. Hana placed a hand on her cheek and gasped. "Oh dear, how sad," she said in her soft, inaudible tone of voice.

Kagome rolled her eyes at the teacher. 'She's so stupid,' she thought.

"Well I believe that if you have someone to tutor you it will help you greatly," she said. "What do you think of that?"

Kouga smiled softly. "If it'll help me I will do my best to do better with the help of someone who is willing to help me."

Ms. Hana smiled and blushed when Kouga sent her a small wink. "Uh, okay . . ."

Kagome felt like she was going to gag. Seriously, how can someone fall for something so stupid like that!

"Kagome would tutor you," Ms. Hana said with a sweet smile, looking at both of them.

Kagome's eyes bulged out. "E-excuse me?" Was this really happening?

Ms. Hana nodded. "It'll look good on your college application and you are one of my brightest students, Kagome, so since Kouga needs the help I choose you."

Kagome groaned mentally while Kouga just smirked.

'This is really getting interesting.'

It's a Friday and everyone was somewhat relieved that the first week of school is over.

"Well this is it," Kouga said, coming through the door.

Kagome raised a brow as she looked around the place. She and Kouga came to his apartment since he doesn't live with his parents to help him with Calculus and do the history project. This place isn't so bad. It was simple and clean.

"Would you like something to drink?" he asked, walking to the kitchen.

Kagome shook her head. "I think we might as well start with the project and then tutor you with Calculus. I have to be home soon," she said.

Kouga nodded and walked over to one of his couch and signaled to her using his hand to come and sit. She did. She started pulling out the books and her notebook.

"Okay, so we decided to do about the Wolf tribe of the Feudal Era," she said.

Kouga nodded. "Yup."

Kagome looked at him with a bored expression. "Well I already done my part so I guess I can help you with yours," she said, showing him a folder with her part of the project.

Then she was surprised when Kouga smirked. He pulled out a folder of his own and placed it on her lap.

"I'm done with mines, too," he said smugly.

Furrowing her brows, Kagome picked up the folder and looked through the material. It was presented very good. Almost as good as hers.

"When did you do this?" she asked.

"I did it yesterday," Kouga shrugged. "Why?"

Kagome shook her head. "Just surprised."

"What? That I actually did my work?" Kouga rolled his eyes. "You know you shouldn't judge people so quickly before getting to know them."

Kagome frowned slightly. 'That's something . . .' She shook her head to clear her mind. "Well then let's begin with Calculus." She pulled out the books.

After a while of explaining and making sure he understands . . .

It hit Kagome.

"What?" Kouga asked as Kagome stared at him with hard eyes.

"You know Calculus," she said firmly.

Kouga furrowed his brows. "What are you talking about? I need help on this shit."

Kagome closed her book and placed it in her book bag. "You know it. I noticed that you do the problem right but get the wrong answer, but you know this. So I'm not going to waste my time just because you choose to get attention from people."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Kouga chuckled. "Calm down there. Okay, I do know this. I'm not stupid. I was top five at my school."

"So why do this?" Kagome demanded.

Kouga bit his lip. "Uh . . ."

Kagome sighed after waiting. "Look, I cannot waste my time like this. So tell me right now!"

Kouga sighed and grumbled something.

"I can't hear you Kouga," Kagome said. "Speak louder."

He grumbled again.

"Kouga!"

"I wanted to get to know you!" he yelled out.

Kagome raised a brow. "Get to know me?"

Kouga shrugged and blushed slightly. "I don't know, you avoid me and I thought if I acted like I didn't know Calculus I can spend some time with you," he said childishly.

Kagome just stared at him.

"That is . . ."

Kouga felt his ego boost.

" . . . the most pathetic thing ever."

And it was squashed.

Kagome stood up and Kouga stood as well.

"Wait, Kagome!"

Kagome shook her head. "Seriously, I'm not going to waste my time with you." She looked at him. "I'm not interested in dating you and what was with the whole ' You don't intimidate me' thing? Seriously, who do you think you are? Just cause girls throw themselves at you doesn't mean anything, Mr. Big Hot Shot!"

"And you think you're any different?" Kouga raised a brow.

Kagome crossed her arms. "What are you talking about," she narrowed her eyes.

"Heh, you having all the guys after you and getting good grades and being all popular? You're full of yourself and you think you're better than anyone. Psh, please! And I never said anything about dating you, I just wanted to get to know you as a friend but since you think you're 'Little Miss Perfect' you think every guy is after you!" Kouga rolled his eyes. "You're not that special, let me tell you that."

Kagome frowned deeply and glared at him.

Kouga sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I know that was kinda harsh but seriously I was just trying to get to know you."

Kagome didn't budge.

Kouga started to get worried and thought he upset her greatly. "Uh, Kagome? You okay? Look, I'm sorry and-"

"Fine."

Kouga looked at her confused. "Huh?"

Kagome bit her lip and sighed, relaxing her features. "I said fine." She looked at him. "We can be friends and I'm sorry for acting like a bitch," she muttered.

Kouga chuckled. "You weren't acting like a bitch, more like just rude." He chuckled again when Kagome grimaced. "Okay, uh, would you like to join me for dinner?"

Kagome raised a brow. "You cook?"

Kouga nodded. "I'm pretty good."

Kagome shook her head. "I should get going. I have to get home." She grabbed her book bag and threw it over her shoulder.

"Alright, maybe some other time," Kouga said. "Beside my roommate doesn't really like company."

"Roommate?"

Kouga nodded. "Yeah, you'll meet him if you want. He's pretty cool and right now he should be working."

"Oh."

"I'll walk you to the door," Kouga said, following Kagome as she walked to the door.

Kagome took a few steps out of the door before looking back at Kouga. "Look I'm not really good at these thing but tomorrow me, Sango, and Miroku are going to this national park and maybe you would like to come and hang with us," she said awkwardly.

Kouga rubbed his chin and looked serious for a second while thinking. "I . . . guess I could," he said slowly. "Should I meet you at your house?"

Kagome nodded. "You know where it is? It's the shrine that's over a few blocks down over there," she said , pointing at a street.

Kouga nodded. "Yeah, okay. Well I'll see you tomorrow then."

Kagome nodded and waved her hand slightly. "Bye," she said softly, leaving.

As she walked and heard the door closed, she sighed. Why did she invite him?

Probably because his word a while ago sounded just like something Inuyasha would say . . .

Then the thought of 'loosening up' crossed her mind and thought to give it a try.

'I hope this is good,' she thought to herself.

After he closed the door, he sighed deeply and rubbed his temples. He walked over to the kitchen and looked through his cabinets and pulled out a liquor bottle. He opened it and took a chug at it.

"Ah," he sighed as he felt the liquid burn his throat. He put the cap back on and placed the bottled back in the cabinet.

His mind played through everything that just happened a while ago and couldn't help but smirk.

'This is very interesting,' Kouga thought.
