A/N Author's notes are boring, just read the story and ignore me.

Chapter 2
Out For Lunch
"Sorry, can't." Smiling apologetically at him, she pushed him toward an empty seat in the front row. Kagome looked around at the class. Students pushing and shoving each other, laughing, chatting, sleeping, and other random things were happening.
Inuyasha was a little disappointed that Kagome wouldn't sit with him. Maybe she already had a boyfriend in the class that she was going to sit by.
Kagome clapped her hands together loudly, getting everyone's attention. "I apologize for starting class late, I was…distracted." She glanced for a brief moment at Inuyasha in the front row. "Normally class will start on time and I'll expect you all in here and seated at noon." Groans from a few of the students were heard from further back in the class. "Now, to get started…as you already know, my name is Professor Higurashi. I will be teaching you about ancient myths and legends that have formulated due to superstitions and or manipulated truths."
The professor looked across at all of the students flooding the lecture room. It was a class of about seventy-five students. "I will warn you from the beginning. This class is a privilege that will be taken away if you are failing your other classes. The school board will not hesitate to pull you from here if your grades fall." She licked her lips and looked at how many guys there were compared to girls, 2/3 of the mass was male. Great. "To start us out, I would like everyone to take out a sheet of paper and a pencil. We will be taking a little pre-quiz so I can get an idea of what you already know. This isn't graded, so don't worry…"
And so the class continued for an hour and a half. When it ended, many of the students were bummed that it was time to go. Higurashi was an especially exciting and invigorating teacher. Without really noticing, several had ended up with several pages of notes; Inuyasha included.
Inuyasha remained in his chair after everyone else had filed out of the class. He felt a bit betrayed that she hadn't told him that she was the TEACHER. Of all people that had to see him in a towel, it had to be one of his professors.
"Inuyasha, is there any reason why you haven't left with everyone else?" She looked up at him from her desk where she was entering the attendance into the computer. Kagome had taught the entire time while wearing her miko outfit. That was something that probably spiked a lot of people's interests, a legends and myths class with a teacher that dressed old fashioned.
"Why didn't you tell me you were the teacher?"
"You didn't ask. Besides, I think it worked to your advantage, you weren't counted tardy for your first day." Kagome smiled at him warmly. Her stomach growled suddenly, and she realized that she hadn't eaten yet. She looked up again at the white haired boy still sitting there. "Inuyasha, have you eaten lunch yet?"
He looked up at her quizzically, but answered nonetheless. "No, why?"
"I'm hungry. I was just wondering if you wanted to come with me to get a bite to eat, since I can't leave you here alone in my classroom." Kagome stood up and pushed in her desk chair.
"Isn't that illegal?"
"What's illegal?"
"Us going on a date?"
She looked at him funny. "Well, if you want to consider it such, be my guest, but it was just a friendly invite. If it were a girl sitting in my class I would have asked her, but from what I saw earlier, you're no girl."
He flushed and looked away from her, slumping down further in his chair. "Will you not bring that up?"
"Sure, whatever, but you did that to yourself." She smiled playfully at him as she walked by, preparing to leave the room. "You coming or what?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Inuyasha got up and followed after her. "Professor…"
"The name is Kagome. When we're not in class, just call me Kagome."
"How old are you?"
She turned around and looked up into his golden eyes. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to ask a woman her age? We always lie, you know."
"How old are you?" He looked at her intently, no hint of amusement in his eyes.
"20."
"How old are you really?"
"If it would make you feel better, I'll say I'm in my 30s."
"You don't look it." He was satisfied though. She was indeed older than him, just like Kikyou had been. She was probably ten years or so his elder.
"Thank you." Kagome locked the door to her classroom and walked away toward the school parking lot. Inuyasha followed at her heels like an obedient dog. She stopped next to a Ferrari, causing Inuyasha to run into her from behind.
"Nice wheels."
"Thank you again. I do hope your hair doesn't get too tangled in the wind." Inuyasha was about to get in when Kagome doubled over laughing. "You fell for it! You are so gullible! You actually thought I owned this!"
He turned red and gaped at her, a prankster, how typical. "Well I don't know what kind of car you drive. I just met you today."
"Still, it's too funny. Here, my car is over here." She pressed the unlock button on her keys and Inuyasha watched the lights of a dark blue Jeep flash. Kagome was still giggling as she climbed into the driver's seat.
Inuyasha merely slumped into the passenger chair and crossed his arms. His face covered by a big frown. The priestess had a large smile plastered to her face in contrast as she drove him to a local restaurant.
They stopped at a small café and both got out quickly. Kagome locked the doors of the car with the press of a button and they were on their way inside.
Lunch was ordered and the two just stared at each other.
"Wench."
"Name calling, now, are we? Shame, shame, didn't your mother teach you any manners?"
"Stop talking like that about my mother, hag."
"Or maybe she taught, but you failed to listen?" She stuck her tongue out as she dodged his swinging arm.
"Stop insulting me, witch." Inuyasha scowled at her. Now why had he agreed to go out to eat with her? Oh yeah, free food.
"Fine. Our food is here."
Indeed it was. A waitress came and set down the food delicately. "Is there anything else I can get for the two of you? Maybe a Lover's Pie, or a French Kiss Sundae?"
"Thanks for the offer…" Kagome smiled up at the waitress sweetly.
"We'll take that sundae." Inuyasha smirked at his teacher. He had his revenge in mind. "After we finish the rest of this that is."
"Will that be for here or to go?"
"To go."
The waitress left and Kagome leaned over the table towards him. "What ever evil scheme you have in mind, forget it. I'm taking you home as soon as we're done."
"Perfect."
"Ahehehe." She leaned back again and picked up her cheeseburger.
The rest of the meal was eaten in silence and when they were finished, the waitress picked up their plates and brought back out the bill and a medium sized package that looked like it would preserve something cold inside.
Kagome paid and they left. As soon as they were in the car, Inuyasha opened the box.
"Hey, wait till you get home to eat that, I don't want a mess in my car!"
"Fine." He closed the box again and looked out the window. Licking his lips, he plotted his sweet, sweet revenge. The expression he imagined on his professors face made him almost laugh.
As they neared the apartments that college students housed themselves in, Kagome glanced over at Inuyasha. "Now which building are you in?"
"The Shack."
"I'm not really familiar with the buildings, so that doesn't really help me."
"That one." He pointed to a brick building to the front and left of them. Kagome drove up in front of it and parked in one of the spaces available.
"Well, are you getting out?"
"Not until you do, wench."
"Ugh, honestly." She unbuckled and turned off the car. Kagome climbed out and closed the door behind her.
Inuyasha got out and pushed her up the flight of stairs to his apartment door. Holding the box in one hand, he took out his key and unlocked the door.
"Now can I go?" She tapped her foot impatiently. Inuyasha wanted his revenge, so she might as well let him. No point trying to avoid it, but this was getting dull.
"No." He poked his head inside and confirmed that Miroku wasn't there. Then he pushed the door open and shoved Kagome in. The door was closed behind them and Inuyasha locked it without Kagome noticing. "Now we eat."
"I don't care for sundaes, all the junk put on the ice cream is so disgusting." She looked around the apartment. So this is where Inuyasha lived. It was slightly disorderly, but also not entirely messy.
"This really does taste like a French kiss!"
Kagome turned to where Inuyasha was eating the dessert. She cocked one eyebrow. "You obviously don't know what a kiss tastes like if you think that tastes like one."
"Are you sure you're not the one that doesn't know?"

A/N The question you're probably asking now is, where is Inutori going with this? I have a few ideas as to what I can do, but if you have suggestions, just review and tell me. I may consider them.
