Introductory Author's Note:
Konnichi wa minna-san ^^ Thanks for showing interest in my fic. Here's a little bit about it before you continue reading. Stuff you might want to know...
This fic is strictly InuKag. There may be a few InuKik references, maybe others. But the pairing that you should all be expecting is InuKag, since I am a strong supporter of it.
Enough of my blabbing, and on with the fic!

Chapter Three # Seeing Him Again
Chapter rating: PG-13 for language
#...#...#...#
By the time Sango and Kagome had arrived, the parking lot to the hall their reunion was being held in was packed.
"Hard to believe this is just our old highschool class..." muttered Kagome. Sango nodded in agreement and awe.
Looking around, they saw many familiar faces, in addition to many unknown ones. Like them, their classmates seemed to have changed in many different ways during their five years of seperation from each other.
Kagome made her way through the parting crowd in silence, her eyes moving from face to face. Many males cast interested looks in her direction, but she regarded them as no more than a mere glance.
Sango, on the other hand, was hugging almost every passing person she saw.
"Eri! Eri it's Sango! We were in Algebra II together! Remember?"
Sango's latest "victim" nodded unsurely. "Yeah... yeah I remember you... Sango?..."
"Hey great! Give me a hug, girl! It's been ages!"
Kagome sweatdropped. "Hey Sango, let's go get something to drink."
"Alright, Kag. Hey Eri, I'll catch up with you later!"
Eri nodded slowly. "Whatever..."
Sango and Kagome made their way to the refreshments table.
"Hey Kag, this is a blast, eh? Isn't it great seeing all the old faces?"
"Yes... it's just... wonderful..." muttered Kagome. She was far from having fun. In fact, her heart was filled with anxiety and dread as she thought about him. As she thought about-
"Well, well, well."
Kagome looked up from her glass of soda and almost dropped it in shock.
Four handsome young men stood in front of her. The one that made the previous remark was devilishly handsome. He wore a slight grin with two fang-like teeth sticking out from the sides of his mouth. His hair was long and well-kept, and he had two small dog ears atop his head.
He was unmistakable, even from miles away.
Before Kagome stood the hanyou that had haunted her dreams since the first day they had met. Inuyasha.
She stared at him, her cheeks burning, when she suddenly noticed that he didn't return her gaze. He seemed to be looking towards her right. Turning in that same direction, she sweatdropped, realizing what he had come for.
"Fruit punch. And it looks like it's the good kind too! Hah, and I was thinking they would be two cheap to have anything other then water."
Two of Inuyasha's companions laughed with him. One had short black hair; Miroku. The other had long hair in a ponytail, and had a similar egotistic grin on his face; Kouga.
The fourth man seemed to show a lack of interest altogether. He resembled Inuyasha slightly. Kagome remembered him also; he was Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's brother.
Inuyasha sauntered to the punch bowl, followed closely by Miroku and Kouga, who seemed to regard him as their leader or of some similar position. Sesshoumaru, however, stood transfixed on the spot, his unearthly gaze diverting suddenly to Kagome.
She reddened once more, hoping that he didn't recognize her.
And he didn't. He instead rolled his eyes. "Hey Inuyasha, you have another female stalker, apparently."
Kagome could have kicked herself. She had been so surprised upon seeing her highschool enemy that she hadn't realized that she had been staring at him the whole time.
Inuyasha looked at her with mild interest. "And you are-?"
Kagome blinked. "You don't remember me?"
Inuyasha groaned. "What, do you look mildly attractive to me? No. So why the hell would I remember you."
Miroku gasped and enveloped Kagome's hands in his. "Inuyasha, you must not speak that way to such a fine lady. Beautiful women, please ignore my friend's rudeness. He is merely as taken by your beauty as I, he means no harm or hurt to you whatsoever. Will you bear my child?"
Kagome groaned, while Sango, who stood at her side, seemed to be overcome by giggles.
"Err, thanks... but I'm not interested... in that sort of... stuff..."
Miroku looked disappointed, and suddenly turned to face the laughing Sango.
"Fair lady, will you bear my child?"
Ten seconds later, Miroku clutching his left cheek. Sango 'hmph'ed and moved away from him.
Kouga, however, approached Kagome next. "Hey, I don't really remember you from highschool, what's your name again?"
Kagome frowned at him. "It's Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."
Kouga stared at her in surprise. "Oh, err, wow. I-I didn't recognize you... you've certainly chang-"
He was cut off by Inuyasha, who had marched up to Kagome.
"Kagome, eh? Well well well."
Kagome grimaced. "What's your problem?"
"I was just surprised. I mean, your outer appearance has approved a little."
"...?"
"If you try really hard, you may be able to qualify for a female toad!"
Kagome's eyes glinted with annoyance. "Oh is that so. Well that means a lot from someone who doesn't even have to try and he still manages to look like a toad."
Inuyasha growled at her. "Listen you bitch, I'm not in the mood for this. I've got better things to do."
"Why are you telling me? You are the one who approached me with your little insults first!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah?!"
"Ye-"
"These little hot dog things are pretty good!"
Everyone turned to Miroku, who had taken the opportunity to sample every appetizer he could find.
Inuyasha stared at his friend in disbelief, while Kagome gave an uncharacteristic smirk in his direction.
"M-Miroku. All you can think about is food?!" asked the hanyou.
Miroku thought for a moment. "Nah. I think about food and sex."
Sango slapped him once more.
"Oh come on now, I didn't direct it at you this time!"
Sango rolled her eyes. "Oh really?"
"I was talking about sex with women in general."
Sango slapped him once more. She grabbed Kagome by the arm.
"Come on Kag, we've got better things to do then hang around with these fools."
Kagome blinked and followed her friend. It wasn't often that Sango got angry.
Miroku and Inuyasha watched after the two girls.
"I think I'm in love," murmured Miroku, "my heart, it beats so fas-"
Kouga thwacked him over the head. "Suck it up, will ya?"
Miroku faked tears. "The abuse I get from my friends!"
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. "And where did you get the impression we were your friends?"
"Hey, no need to be so hostile!"
"Well you didn't need to act so freaking corny!"
Inuyasha didn't join in the verbal abuse of his friend this time. Instead his eyes followed Kagome through the hall and out onto the patio.
'You know... if we weren't enemies from highschool... I think I might actually... like... that girl... Kagome...'

Author's Note:
I'm alive. 0.o; Maybe I'm just bad at updating. Xx; But eh, what to talk about?
Oh yeah! I started a new InuKag fanfic! And I'm thinking it's going to be even better than this one! I recommend you all read it while your waiting for the next update. 0o; It's called Lessons of Love and it's another AU fic. xD But it's not like other fics as far as the plotline goes, so give it a try, eh?

Oh yeah, and check my author profile every once in a while; I'll be posting fic status' there every now and then; especially if updates are taking longer than I was expecting. xD
Now about the actual fanfic, as you can see Inuyasha's a sort-of-jerk. Fine maybe he's a total jerk. A hawt one tho. xD But from the last line, maybe... just maybe he's reconsidering his pathetic little grudge? Nawwww, I'm thinking it's gonna take him a while to get some brains into that self-obsessed little head of his. @@
And now for the infamous review responses!
