My eyes widen in shock as he grabbed me by my shoulders, he didn't even say anything after that. He just kept staring at me as if he was examining me. Did he really just say mate? There is no way I'm his mate! It was very rare for a demon to find a human mate, I've only heard of it happening a handful of times.

"Did you just say I'm your mate…?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah you heard me right, you're my mate. So deal with it!" He growled.

I glared back at him and slapped his hands away, "I'm not your mate, and you can't just claim me like I'm a pound of meat!" I yelled. A few people in the dining hall looked over at me. Great I was causing a scene but I don't really care. He needs to learn he can't treat me like that. His eyes were wide open in shock, not expecting my outburst. I glared at him one last time and then walked away from him. I left the dining hall, deciding to skip breakfast all together.

I walked around the school for a half hour and then I finally walked to my first class of the day; math. When I got into the room, most of the students were already seated so I went up the teachers' desk and he told me to sit in the second row from the back. I sat down and pulled out my books and waited for the class to start. I saw Rin come in the room and smile at me when she saw me, she came and sat down next to me.

"You have this class too? This is great!" She took out some paper and a colorful pencils.

"You like math?" I asked. I couldn't imagine anyone

She shook her head, "Well not exactly, but I've never had any classes with friends in them. And now I do!" Before I could say anything I saw the same guy from the dining room come in start walking towards me. Oh no…is he stalking me?

"Oh look its Inuyasha, I didn't know he had this class too!"

"You know that psychopath?" I asked.

"Yes, he's Sesshomaru's brother. They don't really get along too well." She said thoughtfully.

Inuyasha stopped at my desk but then got in the last row and sat behind me. I could feel him starring at the back of my head, it was driving me crazy. Finally after a few minutes into the lecture our teacher was giving us, I heard him say, "What's your name?"

I considered not telling him my name but I didn't want to take the chance of him pestering me anymore then he probably was going to. "It's Kagome." I said.

He was silent for a minute then he said, "That's a nice name."

A nice name? What was I supposed to say to that? "Thank you." I said politely. Maybe he was a good person and we just got off to the wrong start. Maybe this was his way of apologizing to me.

"You smell really good." He said bluntly. "Like a mixture of strawberries and peaches."

Well so much for that! I turned around and glared at him, "STOP SNIFFING ME! What is wrong with you demons thinking you can sniff me whenever you want!" I yelled.

He froze and then I froze when I realized that everyone in the class was now looking at me, including the teacher who was glaring at me.

"Kagome would you mind letting me have my class back? Or would you like to shout something else out for the class?" He asked. His dim green eyes glared into me. He was an older looking man with a thinning hair line, and grey hairs in his light brown hair. I felt my face flushed then I shook my head.

"I'm sorry." I said quietly. I turned back into my seat and Rin looked at me then giggled softly. I sighed and laid my head down on the desk. I felt completely humiliated, a few kids looked at me a snickered. This school is going to be the death of me.

When the bell rang, I quickly collected my books and headed for the door. I didn't need to have anymore encounters with Inuyasha then necessary. As I walked down the hall, I knew he was following me. When I turned to look at him I bumped into his chest. I nearly fell backwards but he grabbed my arms and steadied me.

"Why do you keep following me?" I said looking up at him angrily.

"I already told you that you're my mate, you need to accept it already. Your mine."

"I'm not anyone's property! You need to get that through that thick skull of yours."

He snarled, "You're the one with the thick skull! Finding a mate is supposed to be a good thing, and you're acting like I have some kind of disease! You'd be so lucky to find a mate like me!"

I sighed, this was getting me nowhere, "Look I don't even know you, maybe if we become friends first and I spend some time with you and then get to know you better; we can talk about that then."

He looked like he was considering it, "Spend time together? Yeah that could work. Look Kagome, were mates whether you like it or not. I don't want you to hate me, we do need to get to know each other. So we'll do it your way…for now."

I wonder what his way is. Not that I really want to find that out. "Good, now I need to get to my literature class. How about we meet up for lunch?" I asked.

He seemed relieved that I was asking him to have lunch with me. He nodded, "That sounds good, but I have literature too. Let's get a move on." He grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall. I had a sneaking suspicion that we had all our classes together. It's not going to be easy to shake him off.
