AN: EHHHH! *does an impression of the guy from "The Scream"* Thank you for all the reviews! :D Ureshii desu~ ureshii desu~ (happy~ happy~) And I didn't think anyone would review at all *sparkles* They really got me hyped up, so here's a new chapter! Oh yeah, I made Kagome give Fluffy nicknames because it's boring to use just his regular name. I have to find some way to get "Fluffy" in there....

Genre: Romance, Humor, Drama

And again, please review! I'll love you forever!

Disclaimer: You don't have to rub it in, ya know!?


Chapter Two: Fine, If I Have To.


Kagome's movers came and went. They left yet another huge pile of stuff to unpack. Too bad it wasn't getting done. The inhabitants of the apartment were a bit too busy arguing

"This picture sucks, take it down," Kagome ordered.

"It's called classic art. Of course you wouldn't understand it," Sesshoumaru scoffed.

"It's a picture of squares for God's sake. My furniture doesn't go with it. And I think it's upside down anyway."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Not."

"Too...This is so pathetic. I'm unpacking stuff in my room." Sesshoumaru stalked off.

Grrrrrr, that guy is so annoying! How the heck am I supposed to spend the rest of high with this gaki? Kagome seethed. She looked around quickly, then snatched the picture off the wall, sticking it in the closet. She hung up a favorite of hers, a Hello Kitty clock, and looked up to study her handiwork. Great!

+ + +

After nearly everything had been unpacked and the Hello Kitty clock had been fought over, they were pretty hungry.

"So who's gonna fix dinner?" Kagome asked.

"You are," Sesshoumaru answered without hesitation.

Kagome glared at him, but sighed in resignation and started going through the cabinets. Well, if he's not gonna make this whole stupid situation anymore pleasant, I guess I'll have to.

"So what do you want?" she inquired happily.

Her "project" shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I don't care, but make it snappy, I'm kind of hungry here."

Kagome rolled her eyes and got two packages of ramen out of the cupboard, and put them on the stove to cook. Looking out of the corner of her eye, she noticed "his highness" had turned the other direction, so she quickly grabbed an apple and threw it at his head. As if he had seen it, he caught the apple, turning back Kagome's way.

"Well, there goes my revenge for all the slave work," Kagome sighed dramatically. Sesshoumaru just smiled slyly at her over the apple.

"Ramen's ready!" she turned back to the stove and split the ramen into two bowls and sat down at the table, passing a bowl to the guy across from her.

"Itadakimasu!"

They dug into their bowls, the room quiet save for their slurping. Kagome cleared her throat and started, "Makino-san..."

"Nani?" He looked up, ramen hanging from his mouth.

Trying not to laugh, she continued, "Do you go to Kojima High?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I was wondering if you could show me around, cuz I'm transferring there and--"

"No, sorry."

"Ehh! Why not? I'll get lost," Kagome whined.

"Don't you think it'd be a bit strange if we just started hanging around, you being the new girl and all? We don't people knowing about this. And I already get enough of you here," Sesshoumaru added.

"Hey, you've only known me for a day, you can't say that!"

"Actually I just did. Quit yelling, I'm getting a headache." His Highness got up and put his bowl in the dishwasher. "I'm going to bed. Oyasumi nasai."

Kagome looked out after him, pouting. Geez, I see the sense in his little speech, but why did he have to be so mean about it?

Pulling a tiny notebook out of her pocket, Kagome jotted down, 'Plan A failed. Kid is totally kakkowarui. Plan B tomorrow.'

"This is worse than when we had to potty train Souta," Kagome sighed, then got up and went to bed herself.

+ + +


"I'm going to be sooooo late!" Kagome shrieked, grabbing her lunch and stuffing her feet in her shoes as she scrambled out the door. That baka could have at least woken me up if he was gonna leave early! She ran out of the apartment complex as fast as she could, knocking over poor, unsuspecting, sleep-ridden civilians as she desperately tried to make it to school on time.

The bell rang as soon as she made it into the door, the bell rang. She bowed apologetically to the teacher who just nodded and introduced her to her new homeroom.

"This our new student, Higurashi Kagome and she has just moved to the area. Please show her respect and help her get used to our school." she turned to Kagome. "I'm Fujita-sensei. Yoroshiku ne. You may sit behind Nishihara Sango-san."

Sango smiled and waved, and Kagome grinned and walked down the aisle to sit in the seat behind her. Sango turned and whispered as Fujita-sensei turned towards the board, "Oh boy, you're gonna have fun today."

AN: Arg! I really hate that ending! It suuucks. And it wasn't as funny as I'd hoped it would be, but I guess I shouldn't stress out about it and just start working on a new chapter -_-
