A/N: And more revised fic

Disclaimer: No owning Ôim.

Previously, On Punk Mikos And Demonic Preps: The pictures were amazing, almost like photographs. Inuyasha had drawn Kagome with her look of concentration, a hand raised in sketch. Kagome had drawn Inuyasha looking out the window. It was so real. But the quality of the lines, though high, was not what held everyone captive. It was the motion, the feeling. A moment captured in time.

Suddenly, the bell rang. Everyone crowded out of the class, grabbing their art as they went.

Of Punk Mikos and Demonic Preps

Chapter Four

Give Me A Reason

Kagome walked out of the school doors, her headphones blaring, the portrait of Inuyasha tucked under her arm, happy to be free at last. Not that her school was terrible or anything, but she really didn't like to be cooped up in a classroom. She preferred being out in a large space, the freedom of a forest. As she sauntered down the school steps, she bumped into someone yet again. 'Gotta stop doing that' she thought. She turned. It was Inuyasha. Again. Ugh.

"Would you watch where you're going?!" she snapped. Inuyasha bared his fangs.

"Look, what's your problem with me?" Inuyasha growled.

"Me? My problem? Ha! You're the one who's been staring!" she said, her voice rising with every word.

"Kinda hard when you look like you do!!" Inuyasha yelled. The remaining students had stopped moving and were listening intently to the two teenagers face off.

"And what's that supposed to mean, Dog Boy?!"

"For someone to not notice you they'd have to be blind and deaf!!"

"Oh, yeah? I think it's got more to do with me looking like a certain Ex than me being loud!" By this time both Inuyasha and Kagome were red with fury.

"You look nothing like her! For one thing, she was pretty!" Kagome growled at Inuyasha. He just glared back.

"Oh, so I'm not pretty? You're not exactly easy on the eyes either, dog boy." Kagome stepped nearer to Inuyasha. She came as close as she could without having any contact, her face at his neck. She blew softly, the turned and walked away, leaving Inuyasha in a state of aroused shock.

Sango and Eve ran to catch up with Kagome.

"Kagome, wait up!" panted Eve.

"Yeah Kagome wait for us!" said Sango. Kagome stopped and waited.

"What was that?" asked Eve, her eyes wide.

"That, my friend, is an age old tactic. He thinks I'm pretty, and he knows it. So, when I got close, he wanted more. He is a guy in high school, you know.

"That is awesome," said Eve, "I'll have to use that.

"I dunno. I think I'll stick to beating the crap out of them." Sango cracked her knuckles. Kagome laughed.

"That works too. See you guys tomorrow!" Kagome got on her bike, slipped her helmet on and took off.

Later that night, after dinner and homework, Kagome fell into her bed. She was exhausted, but her mind was racing so fast she couldn't sleep. Her thoughts kept returning to Inuyasha. 'Baka! Why are you thinking about him? Just go to sleep!' Kagome rolled over and forced the youkai out of her head, letting blessed sleep wash over her.
