Teenage Affections

Author's Note: This is my first A/U fic and third Inuyasha fic. Basically, they're all fifteen and in high school and Kagome is a new girl in the school. Due to the fact I DON'T like Kikyo, may not be in this fic! Sorry! Please read and review. and please don't give me any bad reviews.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 6

"ARGH!!!" Kagome groaned as she managed to catch herself on the wall from falling flat on her face. She had never been skating before in her old hometown really, so this wasn't going too well. Sango, Takara, Yura and Rina were already skating around and calling her out. "Yeah, I'm coming!" she called with a forced smile. She went wobbling out and when she managed to loose her footing, strong arms went around her waist to stop her from hitting the ground.

"Really Higurashi, you are hopeless." She blinked and looked up to see Inuyasha looking down at her expectantly. Kagome blushed and pushed herself up.

"Sorry 'bout that." she sai, but didn't get far before falling back into his arms, this time facing him. Inuyasha shook his head.

"You need some lessons." he said and took her hands, causing Kagome to blush as he pulled her up and made her stand straight. "Don't slouch." he ordered.

"Only if you promise not to make me fall." Kagome retorted. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"I won't. I know what I'm doing." Kagome couldn't help but feel a little more confident under Inuyasha's guidance. He could actually be quite nice when he wanted to be. He moved in front of her and began skating backwards, still holding her hands. "Quick learner aren't we?" he teased. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Hate to admit it, but you're actually a good teacher." Inuyasha smirked and Kagome smiled. He was actually pretty good looking- for a jerk anyway. She quickly shook the thought from her mind and noticed he had let go of her hands and was now skating at her side with his hands behind his head.

"Obviously I am a damn good teacher." he said. "I should start my own business." he said sarcastically. Kagome rolled her eyes at him.

"Hey sis, not too shabby!" called Souta. He, Kohaku, and Shippo had come along as well. Sango's father had to work late and she didn't want to burden Kagome's mother with her brother as well as Souta and Shippo. Basically, they just brought the kids along for the ride. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at Kagome as her brother went skating by.

"So you've NEVER skated, but your brother is nearly a pro?" he asked. Kagome huffed and the boy snorted and shook his head. "Maybe I shouldn't have asked." he said. and took her hand. "Let me teach you something different- like skating backwards." he said and got behind her. He placed a hand on her hip and spun her around so she was facing her.

"Are you insane?!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her.

"You're still standing aren't you?" he snapped back. She scowled as his arms went around her waist as they moved backwards.

"You had better not be getting any ideas." said Kagome in a threatening voice, though she was quite relaxed.

"Don't worry, I'm not Miroku." Kagome looked up at him.

"Hey, are you and Miroku related?" she asked. Inuyasha took his arms from around her and turned her around so they were skating forwards and side by side.

"We were raised together." he said.

"Sango told me you were best friends since second grade... I just thought you were related."

"We were friends ever since we were toddlers... Then I got older and things were different. We didn't exactly get along until some third graders tried to jump me and he watched my back." Inuyasha explained.

"That's sweet." said Kagome. Inuyasha just shrugged a shoulder. Suddenly, Kohaku came skating backwards up to Kagome. "Hey Kohaku." He smiled sheepishly, his face slowly getting pink.

"Hi Kagome-chan.... Listen, I was wondering if you'd skate with me when they do couples skating." he said shyly. Inuyasha let out a snort and Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.

"Sure Kohaku, I'd love to." she said. The boy grinned, his face still red. He nodded and went skating over to Shippo and Souta. Shippo was grinning and slapped him a high five.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Miroku and Inuyasha were standing to the side when the couples skating took place. Miroku was usually the one out there getting dates... if he hadn't been slapped unconcious. Miroku spotted Sango skating with some guy who was obviously older and Kagome skating with Kohaku as promised. He sighed and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms and frowning. "This isn't fun anymore." he muttered.

"I've got an idea on how you can get Sango to yourself." said Inuyasha with a smirk. Miroku looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but nodded, wanting to know what his friend had planned.

"Go on, spill it." he said as a slow song began to play.

"Just do this..." said Inuyasha, leaning over and whispering his plan into Miroku's ear. Miroku grinned and nodded. He quickly grabbed the first girl he could before he dragged her into the skating rink. Inuyasha watched with an entertained smirk as Miroku managed to slip by Sango unnoticed and pinched her butt. Sango screamed and slapped the boy, sending him flying. Many people stopped to see what had happened. Miroku had appeared back at Inuyasha's side, grinning, but the girl he had grabbed as a shield huffed by, very upset with him.

"She's never hit me as hard as she hit that guy." he said brightly. "That means she cares for me." Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his childhood friend.

"Whatever, Miroku." Inuyasha muttered. Miroku grinned and let out a laugh. Suddenly, Sango came up, glaring at someone over at someone over her shoulder. "Hey Taijiya, what's up?" Inuyasha asked innocently.

"That jerk had the nerve to pinch my butt and then he grinned at me as if it was nothing." she muttered. The boys looked at her in mock shock, but Sango didn't seem to notice.

"Sango-chan, if you don't mind, I'll skate with you through the remainder of the session." said Miroku. Sango looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but sighed.

"Fine, lets go." she said, grabbing his hand and pulling him off. Miroku looked at Inuyasha with a grin and gave a thumbs up. Inuyasha just waved.

"Why aren't you out there?" asked a voice and Inuyasha jumped and looked at the girl next to him- Kagome. He quickly looked away and forced a scowl.

"I don't want to."

"Ahhh, son't tell me no one wants to skate with the adorable Inuyasha Hanyou. I saw some girls checking you out." she laughed. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her.

"I rejected them." Kagome looked at him in shock and scowled.

"Why are you distant with everyone except Miroku?" she asked. Inuyasha just shrugged.

"Its just me... WHAT?!" Inuyasha yelled at her as she looked at him with her head tilted to the side. She laughed and shook her head.

"Nothing, i was just wondering if the reason you won't skate with anyone else is that you wanna skate with someone else."

"Like who?" Inuyasha asked with a raised eyebrow. Kagome shrugged, her arms behind her back trying to look innocent.

"Me I suppose-" Inuyasha let out a snort. "What, you can't say you don't want to skate out there with me like the others."

"Listen Higurashi, maybe I don't want to sk-" he didn't get to finish before she had grabbed his hand and dragged him out to the skating rink.

"C'mon Inuyasha! I'm gonna teach you how to have fun." she announced cheerfully. Inuyasha blushed lightly when he noticed Kagome hadn't let go of his hand.

"You're real presistent aren't you?" he asked. Kagome looked over her shoulder at him and grinned. Miroku and Sango could be seen together, Miroku with a goofy looking grin on his face.
