Wrong Side
Disclaimer: Inuyasha and company belongs to Rumiko Takashi who is a goddess.
lostdreams: Okay Neko-Chan.here it is, now just let Inuyasha go! I worked long and hard to get this chapter ready so just..let him go okay? (Confused? Check the reviews..It'll make sense, I promise) ^_^
Side note: Now don't get mad at me. I gave Hojo a backbone, and he's not necessarily a good guy. He's better than others, but for the sake of this fic he is Inuyasha's rival for Kagome's attention..

Kagome stood in front of her mirror in yet another outfit. A knock at her door, pulled her momentarily away from her reflection.
"Come in!" she called as she grunted in frustration and pulled the shirt over her head and began rummaging through the closet again.
"Kagome?" Sango peeked her head into her best friend's room. It seriously looked like a tornado had ripped it's way through the unsuspecting room. "What are you doing?" Sango shoved the door open with all her might, pushing a mountain of clothes out of the way.
"How does this look?" Kagome asked suddenly. She was wearing jeans and a tight black tank top. Sango just stared at her. Mistaking her silence for dislike, Kagome tore the shirt of and went rummaging for another.
"What is going on?" Sango asked again. She was looking around the room. Ooo.I'll have to borrow that sometime. Caught up in her own thoughts, she almost missed Kagome's answer.
"I'm going over to Inuyasha's in twenty minutes and I don't have anything to wear!" Kagome sounded panicky.
"I thought you didn't like him?" Sango said casually.
"Oh shut up!" Kagome muttered as she flung clothes aside.
Wow, she needs some serious help. Girly talents don't fail me now! Sango thought as she approached Kagome. Grabbing the anxious girl by the shoulders, Sango sat her down.
"Calm down," she said soothingly. Kagome obediently took a deep breath. "Now leave everything to me." Sango began picking through the remnants of Kagome's wardrobe. Fifteen minutes later, Kagome stood in front of her mirror finally satisfied with her appearance. Sango had done a great job. Her hair was half up with a few tendrils left down to frame her face. She was wearing dark blue jeans that complemented the light blue, bandana design tank top. To top it off, she had white, shimmery eye shadow and sliver eyeliner. It really brought out her features.
"Wow Sango!" Kagome gasped at her appearance. "Thanks so much!" She turned around and hugged her friend, her eyes catching on the clock. "Shoot! I've gotta go! Later!" Kagome turned and practically sprinted from the room. Sango just shook her head and sat down on Kagome's bed.
"3-2-1.." Sango counted down, when Kagome suddenly came back in the room with a sheepish grin on her face. Sango held out her Statistics book, notebook, calculator, and pencil.
"Thanks." Kagome grinned again and left in an even bigger hurry than the first time. Sango laughed to herself and began picking clothes up off the floor. Hmm.I'll have to borrow this, and this, ooo, and that, and this, and this..

Kagome stood outside of Inuyasha's door poised to knock, but she couldn't make her hand complete the motion. As if on cue, the door opened and Inuyasha stood in the doorway with a smile on his face. It was all Kagome could do to keep from drooling. He was wearing jeans and a button up top without a single button buttoned.
Oh My Gods! How am I supposed to study when he looks like that! Kagome's mind reeled.
Inuyasha recovered first. He had been a bit taken by her appearance as well. The tank top brought out the blue in her eyes, while the makeup enhanced the gray, making her eyes intoxicating pools of color.
"Are you just going to stand there, or are we going to study?" he asked in a teasing voice. Kagome snapped her head to look at him, but only playful fun was in his eyes. She smiled.
"Move.." she said good-naturedly and pushed past him. Inuyasha moved and then shut the door behind her. Kagome looked around the room for a moment. It was surprisingly clean, for a boy's dorm.
"Shall we?" he asked as he motioned towards his large desk. It was big enough to seat them both comfortably, along with their books and what not. "You want to compare quizzes and then work on the self tests?" Kagome nodded and pulled out her quizzes and they traded. As soon as she began shuffling through Inuyasha's quizzes she began to notice something.
"You've aced every single one of these!" she exclaimed in disbelief. Inuyasha's cheeks went a little red.
"Not ever single one.." he muttered softly.
"Oh sorry, you got a ninety-eight on this one.." Kagome was shell-shocked. He acted like such a rebel, but here he was pulling off better grades than she was.
"What can I say? I understand math.." he said with a boyish grin that made Kagome's knees go so weak that if she wouldn't have been sitting she would have fallen over.
"That's an understatement," Kagome muttered as she checked over his work. "I can barely add straight," she finished glumly. Inuyasha's felt a tug on his heart. He couldn't stand seeing her upset over anything.
"Well, I can see where you're having most of your trouble," he mentioned. He then proceeded to show her how to fix the problem. Surprisingly Kagome picked it up with ease. They continued working for over an hour, so long that the numbers were beginning to swirl and her neck was beginning to cramp.
"Hmm," Kagome gave a small distressed grunt, so low that human ears wouldn't have heard, but Inuyasha's sensitive demon ears picked it up quite easily. Glancing up he saw Kagome unconsciously rubbing her neck pouring over her book. Smiling a little at the idea that had popped in his head, he snapped his book closed with a bang. Kagome, who had been so engrossed in her work, jumped and then stared at Inuyasha with a puzzled expression.
"Break time," he announced with a smile. Kagome grinned gratefully at him and closed her book as well.
"I hate math.." she muttered as she flopped back against her chair. Then, much to her surprise Inuyasha moved his chair directly besides her. "What are you doing?" she asked him incredulously.
"Turn around.." he whispered as his strong arms pushed her until she was facing away from him. Kagome shuddered at the chills his touch was sending down her spine. Kagome was glad she was facing away from him because her face was slowly turned a deep shade of red. Unconsciously she tensed her shoulders. Inuyasha noticed and frowned.
"Relax," he commanded as the pulled her hair into a ponytail and placed it over her shoulder. Slowly and gently he began massaging her neck with his thumbs. Kagome felt her muscles relax and give under his steady touch. After he worked through all the knots he could find, he stopped. "Better?" he asked gently. Kagome nodded. It was all she could do to stay sitting up straight. "Good," he said with a smile. "Now lets see how you did." He picked up her paper and began checking it.
"Well?" Kagome grew impatient. She just had to do well on this test.
"I think you've got it Kagome!" he said as he went over the last problem. "Not a single mistake. You'll do fine tomorrow."
"Seriously? I didn't make any mistakes?" she pressed again.
"Not a one," he confirmed.
"YEA!" Kagome yelled and impulsively hugged Inuyasha. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she repeated as she squeezed him tighter. Inuyasha was dumbfounded for a moment, before he returned her hug. Kagome's mind cleared from her original happiness and she realized just what position she was in. Her arms were wrapped tightly around Inuyasha's neck and his arms were snugly around her waist. Pulling back slightly, she could feel the reluctance in his arms to actually let her go. Raising her eyes to meet his, she got lost in his intense gaze. A knock at Inuyasha's door broke the enchanted moment. Both blushed and let go quickly. Inuyasha went to answer the door and Kagome gathered up her things.
"Who is it?" Inuyasha called through the closed door.
"Kenji," came the slightly muffled reply. Inuyasha opened the door to a tall, lanky boy with messy brown hair.
"What's up?"
"Well me and a couple of the guys were gonna go play some three on three and we need a sixth man. Interested?" Kenji looked at him hopefully. Inuyasha nodded then looked back at Kagome who was carrying all her books in her arms.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked quietly.
"Go ahead Inuyasha. You said yourself that I'm all ready. Go on." Kagome urged with a smile. Secretly she was glad that he was debating on whether or not to stay her with her.
"Are you sure?" he asked again.
"Positive. Thanks for everything. I'll see you in class tomorrow!" she called over her shoulder as she headed back toward her own room. Once she was out of sight, Kenji let out a little whistle.
"So that's Kagome Higurashi right?" he asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha nodded. He could still her the faint taps of her feet as she made her way up the stairs. "Thought so. Man, Hojo wasn't kidding when he said she was hot! I sure wouldn't mind to tap that ass..mmm. Damn!" Inuyasha looked down at Kenji.
"What did you say?" he asked, a low growl escaping from his throat. Kenji's eyes grew wide with surprise and fear.
"N-nothing man," he spluttered. "I didn't say anything.." Inuyasha continued to glare at him.
"That's what I thought." Inuyasha took the basketball from Kenji's arms and began dribbling it down the hallway. "So are gonna play ball or not?"
"Yea, coming." Kenji trotted after Inuyasha. Whoa, he thought apprehensively. Mental note to self..Do Not piss off Inuyasha.

Kagome barely made it back to her room; she was in such a daze. He's so amazing, and handsome, and considerate, and helpful.. Kagome stopped. This was the same guy she had been calling a prick and a jerk just days before. Why the sudden change? Because I've always like him and have just been waiting for something like this to happen.. Kagome sighed. Upon entering her room she noticed that it was clean. What the? Then she noticed the note scribbled on her marker board.
~Hey Kagome...I cleaned your room for you, so you owe me big time! Anyways, call me later with details. ^_^~
Kagome laughed to herself. She threw her books on the floor and grabbed her phone dialing Sango's number. She had so much to tell her!
-@--@-
"So, Kenji tells me you had Higurashi in your room Kaiyou. What's that all about?" Hojo asked as he defended against Inuyasha.
"What's it to ya?" Inuyasha asked with a grin as Kenji passed him the ball. "It's not like you're dating her or anything." Inuyasha spun easily, making a three point shot.
"What if I was interested?" Hojo pressed as he dribbled the ball, trying to block Inuyasha.
"I'd tell you she's not your type, asshole." Inuyasha was getting a little steamed. This Hojo kid bugged the shit out of him.
"Oh really? Well I don't think that's your decision to make, now is it?" Hojo matched Inuyasha glare for glare. Hojo was taller, but Inuyasha, even without his demon strength, was a lot stronger.
"I'm telling you to lay off bastard. Leave Kagome alone. She's too good for the likes of you!" Inuyasha fought to control at least a little of his temper. The last thing he needed now was to blow his cover.
"Hmm, I'll let her decide that. You may find that I can please her far better than say, yourself." Hojo gave Inuyasha heinous glare. Inuyasha snapped. Faster than a blink of an eye, Inuyasha had Hojo by the throat. Holding him about 3 inches off the ground, it was Inuyasha's time to smirk.
"Um..hey..Inuyasha?" Kenji tried to step in. "Let him go man. The dude's not worth it." Inuyasha gave a low growl, but put Hojo back on the ground. When Hojo's feet were firmly on the ground Inuyasha gave him a hard shove, sending him flying backwards.
"He's right, you aren't worth it, and I suggest you keep my warning and leave Kagome alone. Bastard." With that Inuyasha left the gym and 5 terrified guys. Once Inuyasha was gone, two of the boys helped Hojo to his feet.
"That fucking moron has no idea what he's done. I'll make Kagome mine, mark my words!" With that Hojo left the gym as well. The other four guys just sweat dropped.
"Obviously he's dumber than he looks," Kenji said wisely to the others. What the hell was Hojo thinking? Inuyasha could kick his ass from here to Bangkok and he was still considering taking the guy one. Mental note to self: number two. If Hojo ever approaches you with a 'bright' idea, run away!
