Winning Her Heart–By SSCereriEnjeru

Chapter three:

So This is School?

Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own Inuyasha... 'Course, I never will, but I'm okay with that now...(don't sue, because I am not willing to part with my non-existent possessions!!)

After taking attendance, Kagome's homeroom teacher got up from his desk to address the class. "Today we are getting a new student. Let's be welcoming to our new peer, who should be arriving shortly."

'I wonder if he's cute,' pondered Kagome. 'I need to get my mind off that baka hanyou. Not only that, Hojo is driving me nuts!' The last bit was added on, when Kagome noticed that Hojo was trying to get her attention.

"Hey Kagome!" Hojo whispered. "I have some therapeutic back pads in my locker. My mom said they would work wonders for your aching back. Just meet me after class to pick them up."

Kagome groaned. 'I swear, I'm gonna strangle Grandpa.' She smiled weakly, "Yeah, that sounds great..." Kagome laid her head on her desk. 'Hurry up new kid!!!'

After much anticipation, the door finally swung open. Kagome's head jerked up, and imagine her surprise, when standing in the doorway was, not some random exchange student, but...

"INUYASHA??!!" Kagome exclaimed in shock.

"Oh great! You two know each other? Then Kagome, it will be your job to be— what is your name?"

"Inuyasha," said Inuyasha.

"Yes, well, you'll be Inuyasha's companion. You'll need to show him around, and introduce him to people."

"Yes sensei..." Kagome said, glowering at Inuyasha.

"And Inuyasha, you can take Hojo's seat, next to Kagome. Hojo, please move to the back of the row. Wonderful," the sensei said as Hojo reluctantly moved, "Welcome to Shikkon High."


"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Kagome demanded, confronting him at lunch.

"I...well...let's go somewhere else to talk..." Inuyasha said, eying the crowd.

Kagome sighed, "alright, fine. But make it quick."

"Okay," he said, leading Kagome into a less populated area. He stopped underneath a tree, and sat down.

"I'm surprised you didn't jump up there," Kagome commented.

"Yes, but in case you didn't notice, I'm not exactly a hanyou right now...so I kinda can't" Inuyasha replied. "But anyway, I just wanted to, well, apologize for the other day. It's just...I-I get..." Inuyasha growled, "I get upset when you leave me!!!" He yelled. Seeing tears running down Kagome's face, he quickly softened back up. "Oh Kagome, I'm sorry! I just...I have a hard time expressing my emotions...I didn't mean to upset you!"

"God Inuyasha, you can be such a jerk!" Kagome yelled. "There are times when I want to hug you, but this is definitely one of those times that I would love to kick you to America!"

Inuyasha panicked, "Please Kagome, don't be mad...I didn't mean to upset you...that's why I came here in the first place; because I totally screwed up, and wanted to set things straight. I couldn't just let you go...I...I need you Kagome..."

"I...leave me alone Inuyasha...Just leave me alone." Kagome said quietly.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha frowned.

"I'm sorry, I just need time to think." Kagome walked off.

'I really need to work on my social skills,' Inuyasha thought, sighing in dismay.

A/N: Well, there's chapter three...Wow, I am really whipping out these chapters!!! I may not post them right away, but today (as I type this) it is the 1st of July, and I started this story on the 29th of June, so I've put out three chapters in three days...I'm sooo proud of myself. Usually I'll write a couple sentances, and lose focus...well, I've noticed that a lot of authors take a while to write another chapter, so I'm doin pretty well...(go me!!!) R&R s'il vous plait!!!( That's please, in french, in case ya didn't know) Same rules as before...
