A/N: Judar is a brat, but he is super hot and his personality reminds me soooooo much of this potentially-sociopathic dip I dated back in high school. This was a lot easier to write than it should have been *upside down smile emoji*

Pairing: Kagome Higurashi x Judar

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Magi, or the characters from either franchise.


Skin

Kagome was sitting out in the courtyard, arms crossed as she glared petulantly at nothing in particluar. Class had let out early after the fiasco her significant other had caused and she was not happy about it. It was hard enough being to be dating one of the most popular boys in school, but now she had to worry about her ex, the resident problem-child, creating more chaos for her. It all started with Sinbad answering a question when the teacher called on him, then Judar not only pointed out that he was wrong, but that he was so wrong that "he would make a great village idiot instead of a class rep." Desks were shoved, voices were raised, and through it all, Judar just watched her with those calculating ruby eyes and she found that she couldn't take it anymore. It was stupid. She was stupid. She knew that trying to make him jealous by dating Sinbad would backfire, but dammit she wanted to get under his skin just once the way he did to her!

"I should just transfer schools," she growled to herself. "Stupid boys."

"That won't work, kitten," she heard from her shoulder, just as she felt the heat of his body before it pressed against her. "I'll just follow you."

"Stalker," she ground out, inwardly pleased that he had come looking for her after she had stormed out of the building.

"You love it," he said, nuzzling his nose into her neck as he braced his hands on the back of the bench she was sitting on. "Now get up. You've got some making-up to do."

"Excuse me?" Kagome snapped, whirling her head around to glare up at the red-eyed idiot she was hopelessly in love with.

He smirked down at her, all sharp canines and glittering eyes and she felt her stomach fill with butterflies. His pale skin was practically glowing in the sunlight, contrasting sharply with his onyx hair that was twisted into a long, thick braid down his back. He was tall, with slender muscles made for speed rather than power, but she knew what he lacked in physical prowess, he made up for with his wit and sharp tongue. It was their banter that had drawn her to him in the first place. She hated herself for it, but she knew she would be going along with him. She just couldn't stay away from him. He was like a drug. And she was an addict that had been going through withdrawals for the last two weeks because she thought she could make him jealous.

"You dangled that neanderthal in front of me like a chew toy and expected me not to tear him to shreds, kitten?" He said darkly, lowering his head so that it was beside hers, their eyes level with each others, and she was instantly trapped in his gaze. "You're smarter than that."

"You didn't have to do a thing," Kagome pointed out, her voice soft as she stared at him, her heart aching at the realization that this was just a game to him. And if there was one thing she knew about Judar, it was that he hated losing.

"That's where you're wrong, kitten," he said, and his eyes flashed dangerously before he was using the hand he had behind her to hold her in place as he smashed his lips against hers roughly before pulling away. "I had to put that deluded prom king in his place for thinking he even had a chance at taking you from me."

Kagome's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing darkly at the fact that he had just kissed her in public when he hated open displays of affection, when his words finally reached her brain. He was staring at her intently, and she noticed then that his body was shaking with anger and he was breathing heavily. Her heart skipped a beat and she reached up a hand to brush her fingertips across his cheek.

"You left me," Kagome pointed out, eyes locked on his parted lips to keep herself from getting trapped in his eyes again. "You... you said you didn't want someone weak..."

She watched his lips quirk in a rueful smirk and he leaned forward to press his forhead to hers. Kagome closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of having him so close after avoiding him for as long as she had, her hand still resting softly on his face.

"You dated that meat-head on purpose to get back at me," Judar said with dark humor in his voice. "You ignored my very existence to the point I had felt these last few months had never happened."

Kagome winced at that. She knew it was awful, but Judar was so good at making her angry- and she had never seen him disgruntled once. She had lost count of the amount of times he had frustrated her to the point of tears. It was the reason he had broken up with her, after all. Because she couldn't handle his scathing attitude and tendency for pettiness when he felt she had slighted him in any way at all. He had broken off their relationship with a smile, and a wave as though she hadn't meant a thing to him.

"You turned out to be a vengeful little hellcat, kitten," he said after a moment. "And I will be damned if I let anyone think you can just get over me by throwing yourself into the arms of that pretty boy."

Kagome opened her eyes to glare at him, even as she moved her hand to cup the back of his head and pull his face to hers for an angry kiss.

"You're childish," she spat, her lips moving against his as she spoke.

"You're a crybaby," he returned, hand tightening in her hair and making her hiss.

"You're petty," she said through clenched teeth as her breath quickened in perverse excitement at his rough-handling of her.

"You're naive," he said with a crooked grin.

"You-you-you-" she stammered before she let out a weak whimper and pressed her lips to his again, this time desperately, and she was so happy when his mouth parted to deepen the kiss and he let out a groan of his own. She didn't even care that they were still at school, and that students were starting to walk out of classrooms for period change. She was just happy that he was here with her, and she never wanted him to let her go again. He pulled away from her after another moment and she whined when did so with a sharp bite of her bottom lip.

"I'm the exact opposite of you, Kagome," he said, and she felt her skin catch fire at sound of her actual name on his lips for once. "And you know that's why you can't get enough of me."

"I could say the same about you," Kagome said, one eyebrow raised as she stared at him.

He blinked at her, then his lips pulled back in a devilish grin and he chuckled. He was straightening up, hands shoved into his pockets, and she turned her body so that she could look at him. He was silent for a moment, just staring at her as though seeing her for the first time and he shook his head in wonder before reaching up to brush a thumb along his lips.

"Touche."

And that might be the only argument she had ever won, or would ever win, but she would hold that triumph close to her heart because it was the only one that mattered to her anymore. The boy before her was her opposite, but they complimented each other in some twisted way that had both of them coming back for more. Maybe they weren't good for each other, but neither of them was willing to admit defeat.

Turned out they were both addicted.


A/N: Many flashbacks were had during the writing of this chapter. It was both nostalgic and nauseating. Makes for a fun read, though *shrugs* I didn't proofread this chapter, even if I've had PLENTY of time to do that. Hope it's okay!
