Disclaimer: No, in the name of the goddess, I do not own Inuyasha. I may think I do, but I don't.

Previously, On Punk And Demonic Preps: "Kagome? Kagome, it's alright. He'll be fine. C'mon, don't blame yourself, you didn't know. It'll be alright." Sango comforted. She hugged Kagome and rubbed her back, soothing her. Kagome stopped crying and closed her eyes, seeming to return to herself.

"Thanks, Sango. And don't be mad at Miroku. He was scared." Kagome detached herself from Sango and went to change.

Chapter 6

Let Me Tell You I'm Sorry

Kagome was lying on her bed, holding her cat. She felt awful. The worst part was that she had meant what she had said to Inuyasha, at the time she said it. Right after, she wished will all her heart she hadn't, but it only took that one moment.

She had come home from school with her eyes still slightly empty. Her mother had been curious but backed off with the questioning after Kagome growled at her. She knew that it was better to just leave Kagome alone when she got like that.

After the incident, Sango had escorted Kagome to their next class. Eve had wanted to know everything, but neither of them was in the mood to tell the hyperactive redhead. Eve had calmed down and allowed them their space, understanding that they'd tell her when they were ready.

After school, Kagome had seen Inuyasha. He was being helped away by another man with long silver hair. He was different from Inuyasha. His hair was longer and his features were more effeminate. He had a cool elegance about him, and at first, Kagome thought he was a girl.

Sango told her that that was only Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's older brother. She also added that he was the most wanted guy in the school. Too bad he was in college.

Sango and Eve had walked her home because she hadn't ridden to school that day, no one talking until Eve started quoting this website comic thing, Homestar Runner. It was really funny and Kagome was laughing so hard she forgot what had happened. Then she remembered and had sobered up. Eve had stopped quoting and the two girls left her at her house.

Kagome had gone straight to her bed. She blamed herself. She should never had insulted him like that. It was all her fault. What if someone had gotten seriously hurt? She could never have lived with herself if that had happened. She groaned into her pillow. Life had been so good that morning. Then she had to go open her big mouth, Still thinking along these lines, Kagome fell asleep.

The next day at school, Kagome was walking into every class with her head bowed, hair covering her face, hoping she didn't have Inuyasha in that subject. Not that it helped, her uniform was quite recognizable.

By lunchtime, Kagome hadn't seen hide nor hair of Inuyasha. Which was perfectly fine with her. He probably had a different schedule than her on Wednesdays. She would be fine with it if she never saw him again. Ok, so that wasn't true. Her heart grew heavy at the thought of never seeing the silver haired prep again. She started off towards her next class. She really did want to see him again. Him and his silver hair, intense amber colored orbs and claws. She must have a sort of obsession with his hair, she thought. As she was thinking, she ran right into a wall of solid muscled chest.

"Oops, sor-" She looked up. It was Inuyasha. She gulped and looked down, ready for him to start yelling or something. But he didn't. She looked back up at him. He was studying her with his amazing eyes.

"Didn't think you were one for saying sorry." He said, a hint of frost in his voice.

"Yeah, well, me neither. Look, Inuyasha, I-" She was cut off by Miroku running up to them and telling them to get their tushes moving before they were late, pausing only to look at Kagome a bit mistrustfully. They booked it to class. Miroku was incredibly lucky. He sat down before the bell, while Inuyasha and Kagome barely made it in the door.

"Ahhhh, Inuyasha and Kagome," said their teacher, Saito-sensei. "You are late. Detention for both of you." They groaned, but nodded and sat down.

After school, Kagome went to Saito-sensei's office. She saw Inuyasha waiting in a chair and sat down next to him.

"Alright, now that you are both here, I want you to each right an essay about the consequences of being late. Three pages." said Saito-sensei in a vindictive voice.

"Aww, but, Saito-sensei-"

"No buts, Inui-san." Inuyasha growled, then got out a notebook, along with Kagome. They both began to write, each sending death glares to Saito every once in a while. After about 15 minutes, Saito stood.

"I have business to do. I will be back in an hour, at which time you may leave." The two teens nodded mutely. Saito-sensei strode out.

Kagome was restless. She had finished her essay, as had Inuyasha. Writing fast seemed to be another talent they had in common. So now Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting in silence. Kagome was fidgeting, and Inuyasha looked about to fall asleep. They had another half an hour before Saito-sensei came back. Finally Kagome couldn't take it anymore.

"Inuyasha." The hanyou sat up with a jolt. Kagome suppressed a smile.

"What?"

"I, well, I wanted to, um, say"

"Yes?" Said Inuyasha, raising his eyebrows expectantly.

"I'm sorry." Kagome blurted. If it was possible, Inuyasha's eyebrows rose even more.

"As I mentioned before, didn't think you were the type to apologize."

""

Inuyasha grinned.

"Accepted. But that doesn't make up for you calling me a half breed." Kagome colored and a new wave of guilt washed over her.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know, I didn't mean" Inuyasha looked alarmed.

"Wait, it's okay! No biggie! Just, calm down, okay?" His eyes were as big as saucers and he looked around helplessly. Kagome took a deep breath and smiled.

"Thanks." She said.

"Yeah. No problem. What are you thanking me for?

"Forgiving me.

"Ah. Well, you see, I actually give out forgivance quite often, but no one ever asks.

Kagome smiled brilliantly at him.

"Truce?

"Truce.

At half past 5 Saito-sensei came back. He let them go and Inuyasha and Kagome walked out together. Walking down the school's front steps, Kagome tripped and went flying backward. She steeled herself for the hard cement. But instead of gray rock, she fell against a warm body. Inuyasha had caught her.

"Thanks." She said sheepishly. To her surprise her responded with "You're welcome." Then it started raining.

"Great." said Kagome, "That's all we need. I'm going to get soaked."

"Don't you have a car?" Inuyasha asked innocently. "No, you have a bike." He answered his own question. "Hmm. Well, I live way out on the edge in town, so

"Well, how about we go to my house till the rain stops? It's closer." Inuyasha nodded, and before she could protest, he had scooped her onto his back and had taken off in the general direction of her house.

Once Kagome had gotten used to riding on Inuyasha's back, (It didn't really take that long), she realized she didn't have to tell him where her house was. When they landed in front of the shrine, Kagome turned to Inuyasha.

"How did you know where my house was?" Inuyasha shrugged.

"I used to come to this shrine when I was little. I could smell your scent coming from this direction and I followed it. I remembered you saying something about a shrine on class and so I knew where to go."

"Oh. Cool." Kagome opened the door and led him inside.
