Chapter 3: Project Disaster?

Many students rushed out of school quickly to go home or other places with their friends. Somewhere outside the school building, loud noises could be heard.

"INUYASHA! We have to work together for our project! The sooner we finish the sooner it'll be done and the sooner we won't have to see each other anymore!" Kagome shouted while following Inuyasha. "Then stop stalking me like and IDIOT!" Inuyasha shouted back at her, while picking up his pace to get away from her.

*BAM* Kagome had just dropped a rock on him from out of nowhere. Everyone around them flinched back and wondered where she got the rock from. "Who's an idiot now, stupid!"

Getting up, Inuyasha shouted at her while having a big bump on his head. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR WENCH!? YOU COULD'VE KILLED ME!" Kagome glared at him and slowly said "Never . . . call ME a WENCH!"

Everyone inched away slowly to get as far away as possible from Kagome. *BAM!*

~*~*~*~

"Mom, I'm home!" Kagome yelled to indicate she's home. She took off her shoes and put down her book bag. She walked into the living room and her mom greeted her. "Hello Kagome. How was school?"

Hearing a low growl, Kagome's mom turned to see a guest. "Oh hello, I'm Kagome's mom and you are?" Inuyasha snorted and said "Inuyasha." "Oh my, what happened to your cheek?" Kagome's mom said as she noticed the slight bruise on his left cheek.

Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something but Kagome was faster than him and said "He tripped and crashed onto a wall." Trusting her daughter's words, she told Inuyasha to be careful next time. Inuyasha growled at Kagome since he wanted to tell her mom cause of Kagome, he got THIS bruise on his left cheek. Kagome shot him a glare that says 'If-you-say-it-then-you'll-be-seeing-a-black-eye-tomorrow.

"Mom, we're gonna do our project." Kagome said and went up to her room, followed by an angry Inuyasha. "Okay, I'll bring some ointment for Inuyasha's cheek and snacks for you." Kagome's mom said and went to go get the stuff.

Kagome closed the door in her room and turned to see Inuyasha sitting on her bed. "Off the bed, pal." Kagome gave him a warning tone. "Feh! Why should I? You're the cause of the bruise on my left cheek." Inuyasha pointed to his bruised cheek. "You wouldn't have the bruise if you didn't call me a 'wench'." Kagome glared at him.

"It's a free country. I could say whatever I want." Inuyasha crossed his arms. "I'm warning you. . ." Kagome gave him a menacing look. "Feh! Like I care. I could always tell your mom what happened." Inuyasha smirked while seeing Kagome's horrifying look. "You wouldn't dare." "Watch me."

Just as thing were about to get worse, there was a knock on the door. Inuyasha and Kagome quickly went into the position as if they were doing a project. "Come in." Kagome said kindly.

Kagome's mom came in with a tray full of snacks and a bottle of ointment for Inuyasha. "Hello. Here's your snacks and Inuyasha, put the ointment on before your cheek would get worse. Have fun with the project." Kagome mom said as she left the room and closed the door. "We will." Kagome said before she closed the door completely.

Kagome and Inuyasha went as far away as each other as they can. Kagome is on one side and Inuyasha is on the other side of the room. Breaking the silence, Kagome said "Let's finish this project so then I won't have to see your face anymore." Inuyasha growled and started on the project.

"Okay, we have to write a story and draw pictures on an oak tag to see how the characters look like and what the story is like." Kagome read the instructions. "Hm . . . seem easy for me." Inuyasha said while peeking over her shoulder.

Kagome flinched and quickly turn to face Inuyasha. Seeing how close both of them were, they both blushed. The doorknob clicked and the door opened to reveal Souta. Seeing the scene, Souta shouted "Mommy! Mommy! Kagome and this white-haired boy are kissing!" Souta ran down the stairs while shouting that they were kissing.

Kagome and Inuyasha sweat dropped at the little boy's outburst. Realizing their position, they flinched away from each other. "Never go near me, wench." Inuyasha said. "Me!? You were the one who was peeking over my shoulder!" Kagome shouted. "Feh!" was all Inuyasha could say.

After much arguing, they finally decided what story they would write about. "Ok, you type the story while I draw the pictures." Kagome arranged so they won't be doing the same thing. "I type the story!? Why don't YOU write the story and I'll draw!?" Inuyasha shouted. "Because I draw good!" Kagome used her thumb and pointed to herself.

~*~*~*~

"Teenage arguments. I remember that your father and I used to argue a lot too when we were their age. This is what happened . . . all those arguments just brought us together." Kagome's mom put her hands on both sides of her cheek and smiled. While Souta sweat dropped at his mother.

~*~*~*~

Inuyasha was typing the story while Kagome was doing the poster.

Inuyasha was having a hard time writing the story. 'Grr . . . I hate writing! Stupid Kagome making me write the story, while she gets the easy part. Oh well, I'll just leave the grammar and spelling errors.' *type type type*

Kagome was having trouble with the glue. *sweat drops* 'I think I put too much glue. OH NO! Over here is smudged with glue!' *trying hard to wipe the glue off* 'Aww . . . the picture's all messed up and so is the oak tag.'

After a couple of hours, they finally finished the project separately. "Hey Inuyasha, let me read your story." "What? No way! Not unless you let me see what you did." Inuyasha held out his hand as if asking her to give him the oak tag. Kagome held on to the oak tag away from him, shaking her head. "Fine, then I won't let you read the story." Inuyasha crossed his arms and turned away.

After thinking about the situation, Kagome reluctantly gave him the poster while she read the story.

After a while of examining or reading, Kagome and Inuyasha both shouted. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" "Inuyasha! You have too much grammar and spelling errors! Have you ever learned how to write a perfect story!?" "Well for you information Kagome, what did you do with the glue!? Look at all the mess! Can't you handle glue properly!?"

"Well if you didn't make me write the story, this project won't be a disaster!" "WHAT!? You can't even draw!" Kagome said while poking a finger at his chest. "Says who?" Inuyasha took out a piece of paper and a pencil and began drawing. After he finished drawing, he showed the picture in front of her face. "What do you call this then, Miss. Smarty-pants!?"

Looking at the picture of a smiling stick figure, Kagome couldn't help it but burst into giggles and then into laughter. "What? What is wrong with you woman?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who's on the floor crutching her stomach to make her stop laughing so hard.

Kagome then stood up while wiping her tears and laughing a little, she said "You call that a picture? What's wrong with you? All I can say is that it looks like a stick figure." Boiling mad, Inuyasha crossed his arms and turned away, facing his back towards Kagome. "Fine, then I won't help you in that project. We'll just fail and get an 'F'."
Shocking Kagome, she quickly said, "Ok ok, I'm sorry. Let's just do the project together so there'll be no disaster."

~*~*~*~

After a couple of hours, they manage to finish the project. "Wow. This project looks amazing." And amazed Kagome said. "Yep." Inuyasha looked at the time and saw that it was already night. "I gotta go home now." Inuyasha picked up his books and started walking out the door. "Bye." Kagome said as she sent him to the door.

~*~*~*~

'Well, that's a first time I actually talked to her instead of arguing. She's friendly once you get to know her.' Inuyasha thought as he walked home in the night.

~*~*~*~

Kagome plopped herself on the bed. 'Inuyasha isn't that bad. Maybe we could become friends.' Kagome sighed.

The door opened and Souta came into her room. "Hey sis. Dinner's ready." Kagome nodded. "What happened to that boy? Did you scare him away or something?" Souta asked. Kagome quickly sat up and shot a glare at her little brother Souta. "What do you mean 'scare him away'!?" "Well, let's see. Both of you were arguing and there were loud commotions in your room . . ." Souta went on listing and why he thought Kagome scared him away.

"I'm giving to the count of three. One . . . Two . . ." Kagome counted giving Souta a warning to run. "MOM!!!!" Souta ran out of the bedroom. "Three!" Kagome chased Souta downstairs and when she caught him, she tickled him.
