Disclaimer: sigh I would so much like to own Inu-Yasha but I can't tear

A/N: I don't really have inspiration to write this or idea what to write. sigh I just hope that this chapter will be even a bearable one. Well, it has to be. I can tell you that here does the real idea of this story begin :) (I know that my way of writing seems to change in every chapter I make, but I haven't really found the one for me yet. I hope that doesn't bother you too much. Please tell me if it does. Then I'll try to start use only one way of writing.)

P.S. Now has passed two weeks from the previous chapter (from Kikyo's birthday) in this fiction.

The Bet And Faith (by Jedith)

Chapter seven:

The Bet and shocking call

Morning sun carefully shone on the sky. Its rays hit a white haired boy's eyes. Yellow orange, like amber, now, under sun's rays, they were like gold. The glimmer in them and together brought eyebrows were enough scary to make people switch the side of the pavement. Inuyasha was angry. "That son of a---" He cursed under his breath. To others, it sounded like he was growling. Well, he did that too but they didn't hear the words between the growls. "Who the hell does he think he is doing like that."

Once again Sesshomaru had said on breakfast that he couldn't take his little brother to school in his car. Too bad for Inuyasha that their father had loaned Inuyasha's car and now it was in garage to be repaired after that joyride. All Inuyasha could do was sigh and accept the fact that his father liked his car and not Sesshomaru's.

The school's gate was open, as always. Inuyasha couldn't remember seeing it shut. No student was that stupid to come near the school on free time. It was a big pain in the ass to go there to study almost every morning. It was near the time for school bells ring, so the school's yard was full of people. Inuyasha just walked straight to the school's entrance stairs and as he guessed, his gang was there waiting for him.

"Morning Inuyasha! Was it hard for you to get off of your bed today?" Kouga shouted to Inuyasha as he came to them. Inuyasha glared at him. He wasn't on a happy mood. Nothing was more troubling than walk to school in the morning. Kouga just smiled more widely. Still, he made room for Inuyasha when he sat down beside him.

"Nothing new, eh?" Inuyasha questioned. He placed his school back between his legs and leaned on his hand as he gazed at his friends. Not like he would say that aloud.

"Nope." Ginta shook his head a little and lifted his shoulders.

"Like anything would happen here…" Hakkaku added. Inuyasha knew that was true and had known the answer before hearing it. This place called school was the most boring place in the world. Nothing happened there and everyday was almost the same. Inuyasha clenched his other hand to a fist. This morning had really been frustrating. He could only hope that even one little happy thing would happen. Otherwise he would explode!

"IIIIIK! PERVERT!" A girl's shriek was heard. The gang just got sour looks on them and Kouga shook his head. "I just can't understand that guy's mind."

"Like no one could."

It took only few minutes when a boy came to the gang with a big red mark on his cheek. He had a smile on his face. He's smile grew as he saw that Inu- Yasha had joined them. "So, you decided to join us after all."

"Sesshomaru didn't, again, give me a lift and my car's tank was empty. Father had borrowed it a little." Miroku nodded to Inu-Yasha's explanation.

"That sure does explain you being late. After all, you're so lazy." Inu- Yasha stood up with intention to strangle Miroku. To Miroku's luck, the school bells rang as the sign of the first class to start.

Lunchtime

Inu-Yasha and his gang were sitting around a table. There were empty trails before them.

"I told you, Miroku, that we aren't like that anymore!" Kouga shouted to Miroku's face. Even as the table was between them.

"Take it easy, Kouga." Ginta tried to calm his friend. Miroku had once again made Kouga mad by speaking like Ayame would still be his girlfriend.

Inu-Yasha watched from the corner of his eye at Miroku, who was sitting beside him, as always (left side). "Why don't you two just shut up."

Kouga sat down but still glared at Miroku. Miroku just smiled to Kouga. Hakkaku sighed of relief. He sat on the end of the table, 'between' Kouga and Miroku.

"Hey Inu-Yasha. What about you and Megumi?" Miroku turned to the questioned one and had that dirty smile on his face. He has that always when it was about girls. Inu-Yasha looked lazily back at Miroku.

"We broke up."

Miroku flicked his tongue. "Did you get dumped?" He asked with amusement in his voice.

"Of course not. I dumped her. She was too religious for my taste."

"I think I heard something else brother dear."

Inu-Yasha could recognize that cold and emotionless voice from anywhere. "Sesshomaru" He growled turning to face him.

Sesshomaru and Kikyo had entered the canteen and walked to the gang. "I only heard her screaming to you something about leaving and an arrogant monkey."

Miroku started to laugh, Kouga too. Ginta and Hakkaku tried their hardest to keep the laugh inside, but without success. As he heard the laughing, Inu-Yasha's face received little fade of red.

"And in fact, I can tell that you have never dumped anyone. They all have dumped you." Louder laugh was heard as Sesshomaru had continued.

Inu-Yasha's redness just grew little deeper. "Like you would have any proofs!" He shouted to his brother and stood up to look into his eyes. Amber one's, like his own. Just a way colder.

"Not all of them, but most of them."

"Ha-ha! Then yo--"

"But we can always make you prove that you can dump a girl. Let's make a bet little brother." Miroku, Kouga, Ginta and Hakkaku looked at Sesshomaru with surprised eyes. Inu-Yasha was first surprised too but soon his lips carved into an evil smirk.

"Anytime" Was the answer.

"Let's say, you have to make a girl from our school to fall in love with you before the summer holiday. And on the last school day, you dump her." Sesshomaru gazed at Inu-Yasha without any emotions. "That proves too, if you can even get a girl to be dumped."

"What about winner's prizes?" Inu-Yasha folded his arms.

"If I win, you admit that you can't dump a girl. If you win, I admit that you can. Deal?"

"Deal." Inu-Yasha shook hands with Sesshomaru before putting his hand on his hips. He had a self-confident smile. "You're just begging to loose, aren't you. So, who's the girl?"

Kikyo had been silent all the time but she had heard everything. When Sesshomaru told about the bet, she started to look around in the canteen when her eyes placed on a specific girl. "Kagome"

The whole gang turned their gazes to Kikyo because of the sudden speech. "What?" Inu-Yasha asked half of non-sureness of what she had said and half of the fact that he thought that she said.

"Kagome. She's perfect for it. Single and bad memories. My dear little sister." Kikyo still looked at Kagome who was sitting with Sango.

Inu-Yasha turned to look where Kikyo did. He saw Kagome too. "With that ditz?"

"You agreed before knowing the girl. Stupid as always. So, do you take it or are you going to chicken from this?" Sesshomaru asked from his brother. Not giving even a little gaze to Kagome. He kept his eyes on Inu-Yasha.

First Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome with maybe little wide eyes and a terrified in them but his gaze switched to an angry and confident as Sesshomaru talked. He turned to face him again. "I take it."

'Bad memories, eh?'

In the evening

"I just hate math!" Kagome shouted to herself as she tried to solve the problem with 'x' and 'y'. 'Why does it have to be so damn hard?' She took a deep breath and looked out of her houses window. Rain. 'Tipps Tapps' could be heard as the raindrops hit the window. 'So tired.' Placing her arms on the table, she put her head on them and closed her eyes.

Suddenly phone started to ring. 'Not now. Someone else can answer that.' Kagome thought as the phone rang again. Third rang. 'Oh yeah, no one else is home.' The black haired girl opened her eyes and lifted her head so that she could use her other hand to answer.

"Higurashi"

"Kagome?"

Kagome almost dropped the phone of the shock. She wasn't sure but that voice sounded awfully familiar. "Yes?"

"Hey, it's Inu-Yasha."

Kagome's eyes widened of the new shock. It was him! She fell of her chair and lost her grip of the phone.

"What happened? You okay?" She heard from the phone.

Cured little of the shock, she took the phone and lifted it on her ear. "Nothing special. I'm fine."

"I just called you to tell that I'm sorry about that incident at school few weeks ago."

This time Kagome's heart skipped a beat because of the shock. One more shock and she'll get a heart attack. "Excuse me?" She asked with a totally surprised voice.

"At school, on the day of your sister's birthday. I had left my bag in the middle of the way and you tripped because of it. I apologize of that."

Kagome blinked her eyes few times. Was she dreaming or something? "Okay."

"Okay. Bye. See you tomorrow at school." With that he ended the phone call.

"Bye." Kagome answered as the beeps was heard. Her eyes were staring nothing. She placed the phone back to its place. Moving like a machine, staring all the time, she took her math book of the table and dropped it on her toe. She made a scream of pain and after that her body trembled few times. "Scaaaryyyy."

A/N: This didn't become as long as I thought it would but I still hope you liked it. I can understand if it's a bad one. After all, I don't have inspiration to write this. So, now you know where this story is mainly based on. The Bet. I'm sorry of the grammar mistakes. I think it's normal for me to make them, after all English isn't my mother tongue. I have learned it at school, mostly. I think all spelling mistakes are corrected, but I can't be 100 sure of that. If I wouldn't be this lazy, maybe I would read this once over but I just want to get rid of this. Hope this was worth of even writing it. The next chapter may be written after some time. I first try to find some inspiration to write this. Thanks!
