Disclaimer: Nope, don't own him. Ok, Dragon Man 180 asked if Kirara, Shippo and Sesshomaru were going to be in this story. They might be...I honestly don't know yet. If so, they will be showing up soon. And, if I do, Shippo will be in high school with everyone else, and their height. I know, it kinda takes away from Shippo, but hey, it's my story!! Now, the title I got from a review sent by VG Terra. I think you all should check out her stories! (Free plug for you!)

"A Hanyou In The Heart" by Inu Faceness

Chapter Five: Not All Peaches and Ice Cream

Inu Yasha looked at Kagome. "Yeah, that's me. And you are...Higurashi, right? Higurashi Kagome?" He would recognize her even if he had no eyes to see her. Through out his entire time away from her with all his pain and suffering, he had only thought of her and what she could be.

Kagome smiled and nodded. 'So he does remember me,' she thought. They both took a few steps toward each other. An evil smirk played on his lips.

"Hey, wench. You didn't change a bit. Still the ugly kid I remember." He only said it to make it like old times when she wasn't the beautiful 17 year old in front of him. This remark, however, didn't give him the reaction he wanted. He wanted a smile, like she used to give him.

Kagome's temper grew. 'Ugly?' Her fists balled at her sides. She had changed for him! She wanted him to like her, like she loved him, but no! He was making fun of her. A scowl painted her face. "You baka! Seven years I waited!" She grunted in frustration, anger, and annoyance. She walked across the gym floor and to her spot in roll call.

Sango and Rin stared at Inu Yasha. Kagome wasn't kidding. His t-shirt showed off his fine chiseled chest and muscular arms. His long silver hair was, at present, in a low ponytail for gym. His triangular ears were perked and alert, listening and pointed in Kagome's direction. And best of all, his auburn eyes, seeing right into your soul. He was a hot guy! But, their friend was hurt, so they pried themselves from his presence and went to their respected places as people piled out of the locker rooms.

Miroku stood with Inu Yasha. Both of them had confused expressions on their faces, but each shrugged and, when the final bell rang, went to their own seats.

"Kagome! Look out!" Miroku ran toward her, waving at her to move out of the way. Kagome didn't react, and, right before the kickball came into contact with her head, she was thrown off her balance as two strong arms wrapped around and flipped her. Her eyes clenched shut, preparing for contact. She landed on the ground with a thud on top of her 'savior'. Slowly, she opened her eyes and lifted her head. Her heartbeat sped up as she looked at two beautiful auburn eyes.

"You need to be more careful, wench." Inu Yasha smiled as Kagome stared at him. A pink flush painted her cheeks. "You almost died."

Kagome gulped and blinked. She was lying across his hard toned chest. The thought made her blush deepen. She couldn't break her eye contact; his gaze was just too powerful.

"Um, are we gonna finish the game, Inu Yasha?" Miroku said, wiggling his eyebrows at the two. Her blush died down when Miroku spoke. This knocked Kagome from her fantasies, and she slowly stood up off of him. He sat up, smiling at her. She whispered thanks and smiled too, revealing perfectly straight teeth. His smile still melted her, making her blush all over again. 'I swear,' she thought, 'I should just had a blush permanently painted on my face.'

He stood, brushing his shorts off as she did a similar action to her bare legs. He ran off toward Miroku to kick as a red headed boy with pointed ears and fangs tossed the ball to the pitcher. Kagome, Rin, and Sango stood by the wire fence and watched as Inu Yasha kicked a home run, successfully emptying each of the three bases. Hoots and hollers were sent his way while he nonchalantly jogged around the field. Inu Yasha made his way to the back of the kicking line.

"Way to go, Songiya!" The red head said. Inu Yasha smiled slightly and ruffled his hair.

"Eh, it was nothing, Kit," Inu Yasha sat where he was as Koga went to kick. The red head sat next to him.

"So, how's Sesshomaru?"

"Feh, don't get me started on him. He put me through hell and more, Shippo, so I have no desire to talk about or even see him till I get home," he sighed as he looked at Shippo.

Kitsune Shippo was about a head shorter than Inu Yasha, making him Kagome's height. His red hair was cut on the sides and of medium length on the top. Freckles dotted his cheeks oh so lightly and his full youkai blood was evident through his sharp teeth and nails and his pointed ears. His thin frame showed through him tight shirt, accenting what muscles he had. (A/N: sorry if I make him sound kinda little and weak...I am just comparing him to Inu Yasha.)

Miroku stood beside them, watching as Koga slid onto second base. When the next boy was about to send the ball flying, the five-minute bell rang. Each student went into the locker rooms to change into their school uniforms.

~*~

Miroku walked with Sango, Rin, and Kagome down the street after school. Topic of conversation? Why, the meanest teacher of course!

"Gosh, I swear it has to be my FST teacher. She is the biggest bitch in the world! Two assignments a day, if you're lucky!" Sango said, throwing her arms in the air for added drama. Kagome laughed at her best friend.

"I dunno, my computer teacher..." Rin said, placing her hand to her chin, "She makes up make, design and analyze web pages!"

Kagome looked down the street. On the other side walk, going in the same direction, was Songiya Inu Yasha talking with Kitsune Shippo.

"Hey, guys, I'll talk to ya'll later, right? I'll call you, Sango! Bye guys!" She waved at them and trotted over to the two men.

~*~END CHAPTER~*~

HELLO! THERE YOU HAVE IT! Shippo and Sesshomaru will be in this story. I don't wanna make Sesshy the bad guy, so don't expect him to be it, or at least the main one. I really don't have a grudge against him. But, they will be in the story, and as for Kirara, she may show up. Well, today is Easter Sunday, so I had better go. We are having ham today ^_^

Thank you for the reviews every one!! Ja Ne!
