Chapter 2 - Determination

Kagome tried so hard to concentrate in her Math class, but she couldn't. She didn't want to accept that she couldn't concentrate, but she knew deep down why she couldn't. InuYasha was assigned the seat next to her. Every time he wrote, she found herself watching him, mentally noting what his handwriting looks like. Each time she caught herself, she mentally slapped herself.

Sango, Kagome's best friend, noticed Kagome watching InuYasha, Sango giggled. Miroku, who has a major crush on Sango and doesn't hide it, looked at her funny. He leaned closer to Sango, "What's so funny, darling?"

Sango glared at him for a moment then pointed to Kagome. "Seems like she has a crush." Miroku watched Kagome watching InuYasha. (an: Heh, if that made any sense) Miroku smirked.

"Indeed, it seems." Miroku laid his hand on Sango's knee and she quickly shoved it away.

'Kagome, get a hold of yourself, girl! The guy's been making fun of you, and giving you a hard time all day! He has no attraction to you what-so- ever, and yet, here you are, staring at him like a dope!' Kagome silently yelled at herself. It was now lunch, and Kagome hadn't said a word to her friends.

Eri was the first one to speak up. "Kagome? Why are you so quiet today?"

Yumi nodded in agreement, "Yeah, you're usually the one talking and bringing up new conversations."

"Maybe she's thinking about her boyfriend." Sango added and smirked.

"Boyfriend?! Oh! What's his name? What's he like? Is he cute?!" Kagome's friends rambled on with the routine 20 questions about boyfriends.

Kagome got aggravated and screamed, "He's not my boyfriend! InuYasha is a stupid, selfish jerk!" The whole lunchroom became quiet and looked at Kagome, then InuYasha. InuYasha, who was at a different table, sunk in his seat to avoid the stares. Kagome ran out of the cafeteria.

Sango got up and ran after her. "Kagome! Wait!"

After everyone started talking again, InuYasha got up and went out to find Kagome. He was walking down a corridor when he heard Kagome talking, then he hid so he could hear what she was saying.

"Sango, you have no idea! Sure, he's cute and new, but I had to show him around the school! Every time I try to talk to him he blows me off by calling me 'bitch' or 'wench'. I hate it! No one has ever been that rude to me. But I just can't seem to get him off of my mind. I barely know him, and I'm already forming a crush on him! In Math, I kept watching him! I don't want to like him, but I do, and I don't know why!" Kagome, during her speech, started crying. InuYasha suddenly felt bad about the way he treated her, but he wasn't comfortable enough with Kagome to actually show it.

A couple of minutes later Sango and Kagome came out from around the corner. Kagome jumped as she saw InuYasha there. "Tell me you DID NOT hear what I said!" Kagome nearly shouted.

InuYasha smirked. "So what if I did?"

Kagome almost had a breakdown, something in her snapped, and it took all of what was in Sango to hold her back from beating InuYasha up. "You're such a jerk! I can't believe you would listen in on a conversation like that!"

InuYasha kept his smirk, "A conversation that confessed your feelings about me? Yeah right, like I would ever fall for a bitch like you." And with that he walked back to the cafeteria.

Kagome just wanted to disappear. She felt tears coming but she was determined not to cry anymore over him. Someone that she hasn't even known for more than 4 hours. Sango got worried, "Are you ok, Kagome?"

Kagome, feeling a second wind come to her, stood up straight and nodded. "Yes. Come on, let's go back to lunch." Kagome took Sango's hand and led her to the cafeteria. 'Ok, Mr. Shikon. Two can play at this game.'

So, what did you think? ^.^
