A/N: Well, I wasn't able to update soon was I? Damn my life. XX

So sorry. :/ Almost a year. How time flies.

LAST CHAPTER

"Hey genius, are you going to help or not?" I nodded, and grinned back at her. Kagome got a rather interesting look on her as she stared back at me. She seemed to realize that she was heaven forbid, grinning, and she immediately turned away.

I smiled at her tactics. The girl really was strange. I grabbed a nearby towel and began to help her.

Looking around, I could only imagine how long this was going to take. The kitchen looked more like a warzone (which is basically what it was) then anything else.

I waited for the opportune moment to speak, but it never came.

Looking back at it now, I only wish that I had said something then. To question even though I knew I shouldn't.

But the fact is that I remained silent, and am now left to reminisce on this moment. This particular day was the start of our adventure, as one might call it. The last time that things would ever be this way between the two of us.

Chapter 6

Stay Together for the Egg

"I'm gonna getcha, while I gotcha in sight
I'm gonna getcha, if it takes all night
You can betcha, by the time I say go
You'll never say no
I'm gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact

Just like I should,I'll getcha good(yeah)"

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

What the fuck was that? My alarm?

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Oh well. Where was I? Oh yes.

So soft. "Yeah, that feels good. MMMMMMM"

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

"Oh yah baby." I moaned, my hands wandering to her breasts.

I heard the distant protestant yells of a man, but figured it was her boyfriend or something.

"Little brother I don't know who you think your talking to. But if you don't stop, I will have your head."

"You want my head baby?"

… wait a minute… 'Little…brother'

Was I just having…fun with my…!?

My eyes snapped open. What I saw was enough to scar me for a lifetime. To this day I just… dear Lord.

It would seem that my dream girl would be..my brother.

For one, there was something sticking up and making a tent inside my boxers (A/N: There's an image for you xX) Somewhere in my dream I found that I had pulled him onto my bed, and my hands were now clenched tightly on his chest…

"WAAAAAAAAAAAATHAAAAAAHELLLLLLLLLLLLL!?" My scream was that of a young boy going through that awkward stage of puberty. You know when their voice is changing and it sounds like a half boy and half girl? Well, that's pretty much what I sounded like.

"Yo man. What's wrong with you!?" I heard Miroku asking me. But was I devastated.

Devastated.

Oh how wrong this morning was…

Just so wrong.

My eyes were still as wide as they were this morning, and from the way I felt, I imagine I was quite a sight to see that morning. No, I don't mean that in a good way.

"Dude. Kikyo and Kagura just walked past you in those short skirts of theirs. How can you stand to have no reaction!?" Miroku asked me. I think that's his way of knowing that something's wrong. It's good to know our friendship is so strong.

What was I supposed to tell him "Nah man, Im fine, I was just fondling my brother this morning."? Honestly, how could I tell him that?

"You were what!?" Miroku yelled, jumping a few feet away from me.

I looked at him a bit strangely for a moment before realizing that I had just said that out loud. Oh, so that's how I tell him that? Great.

He looked horrified for a few awkward seconds before doubling over-laughing-at me.

Me.

I glared at him. How could he laugh at me? Without me, he'd be a social nothing. Nothing. Zero. Well, he'd still be a letch.

Feh.

Oh and look who decides to show up now? It's the wolf lover, Kouga. Seriously though, the guy's room is like a National Geographic magazine, Wolf edition.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked, staring curiously at Miroku who was know, out of his own kindness and consideration towards me, rolling on the floor punching the lockers as he did so.

Ohhh if Miroku told Kouga. That would be it.

Thankfully, Miroku was unable to speak between his laughter. I glared at him for a moment before returning my attention to Kouga. He sneered at me. "And what about you dog boy?"

What was he on about now?

"Is your new wife any better? Oh look, here she comes now." Oh Kagome. Wow I had forgotten about her until then. The day before had been rather strange. Still, I felt the need to apologize to her after, well, that thing about her dad.

Hadn't she said he was a bastard? The two of them looked so happy in the picture. . . There was a story here, and me, being well, me needed to know what it was. Normally, in any other case, I would have that girl pinned against the wall demanding to know what was going on. But there was something about it this time. It was as if there was a barrier around the subject. I took heed of it.

My thought were cut short however, as Kagome became closer.

I should apologize. It took hours to clean that kitchen up, and when I had to leave, it was still a mess.

"Hey Kagome." I waved, mindful of the fact that Kouga was observing closely, literally breathing on my neck. I had to make this girl prom queen, meaning that she would have to be popular, meaning that she would have to look popular, meaning that she would have to be with us, meaning that she would have to be with me. All that meant that she would have to at least say hi to me, and be caught with me saying hi to her. Oh, the logic of high school.

She looked at me for a second, gave me a look that said "Who the hell are you?", and continued to walk away with her books.

Behind me, I heard Kouga snickering, "Good job man." He said, patting my shoulder before strolling away.

I left Miroku, who was still laughing his ego off on the floor, and rushed after Kagome. It didn't take very long, seeing as though she was walking, and I was running like a maniac. I strode next to her, "Listen."

She continued walking. I had to give this girl credit. With my amazing charm, how could any one ignore me? Yes, this girl had talent.

I growled inwardly and stepped in front of her. She stopped abruptly, glaring at me. "May I help you?" She asked in a monotone voice.

"Uh. Yah. I just wanted to apologize for leaving you like that last night. My dad needed me. And Im sorry if I said something last night that hurt you." Was this me? Was I really apologizing for something?

"I don't know what your talking about." She said before sidestepping, and continuing to walk away.

I stood there, mindful that I would be late for my first class if I continued to follow. I turned around and walked back to Miroku, who seemed to have regained his composure.

"Yo man, hurry up. You can fondle Mr. Takashi now in homeroom lesssgo." I laughed, mindful that it was a joke. We high fived and play-wrestled to homeroom.

The day was a blur to me. One big, stupid blur.

Our schedule today didn't consist of 3rd period, Home Ec until after lunch.

It was strange today at lunch. One strange, strange lunch. Sango, yes, SANGO was sitting at our table. Well, that wasn't the weird part.

Miroku, yes MIROKU had his arm around her, Sango, yes, SANGO.

What in the hell was going on!? I wanted to go bang my head on something. Sure the other elements of the day had been rather tiring but this, this was just so…wrong.

I'm not saying Sango wasn't a good girl for him. She was hot, and, for Miroku's taste, a female. But she was just so… Sango.

She had hated Miroku for years.

An yet here she was talking with him, laughing with him, and was that…yes it was… feeding him!? Ohhh this was too much irony for one already head throbbing Inuyasha Sakata.

Surely she was planning something. Yes, that had to be it. I had to keep thinking that before my mind exploded. This was a conspiracy. Sango and Miroku.. no, just..no. It was wrong, so very wrong.

She smiled as I set my tray down on the table. "Good afternoon Sakata." I looked at her, thinking of what to say to a civil Sango.

"Eh." Was the intelligent thing that I finally came up with. I sat down across from the…couple.

She shrugged and returned her attention to Miroku with a loving expression. He simply smiled, looked across the room and whispered something in her ear. Sango nodded. Her gaze seemed to follow Miroku's as she stuck her arm up, waving. "OI! KAGOME! OVER HERE!" she called out.

Kagome?

I turned around on my chair. What I saw was just priceless. The look on Kagome's face was just hilarious. I'd imagine she was thinking the same thing I had when I had saw the pair.

I turned around to see Sango and Miroku winking at me.

I couldn't help but smirk. She was hooked now. With Sango here, Kagome had no where else to sit but, well, here. Suddenly it all made sense. Sango and Miroku were helping me. It was all so clear, and not Twilight Zone like at all.

"Miroku you big, strong, hunk a man, your muscles are so big and hee hee… hard."

Or…maybe not. See that was just creepy.

Kagome sat next to me quietly, her eyes fixated on the couple. I looked at her, in awe that she had sit next to me, and smiled. But wait, why was I smiling. Oh yah the bet. I was happy because I knew I was making a bit of progress. That's it. Well, that and the look on Kouga's face when he saw Kagome and me sitting together.

Luckily, she had never seen me smiling dumbly at her. Her attention was still attached to Sango and Miroku.

It wasn't long before she finally got over the shock. Her expression soon turned from surprise to annoyance as our table carried on another one of our conversations.

"This is ridiculous dudes. We should talk about something we can all relate to."

"Oh, and what is that?" Miroku asked, holding Sango closer to him as she smiled looking up at him.

"Okay, so um.. what's the biggest bubble you've ever blown?" Kagome looked at Hiten in awe.

"Whoa man! It was huge!"

Thankfully, the lunch bell rang, and the cafeteria emptied slowly as usual. There was only one door out of that stuffy room, and the door, unfortunately was a bit small for the amount of students that would end up piling at the exit.

Home Ec, the one class, that somehow, we were all in. Kikyo, Kagura, Kouga, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and myself. Sango and Miroku had already taken off ahead of us, hand in hand.

I smirked, seeing this as yet another opportunity. I walked over to Kagome, who was making her way out of the cafeteria. She looked at me for a second before rolling her eyes. "What?" I asked, leaning down a bit. "Are you afraid to be seen with me?" She didn't answer, choosing to walk to class silently. I laughed inwardly before grabbing her hand casually as if it were normal to hold the hand of, or touch the class leper.

She stopped in mid step, glaring at me, then at our hands, then me again. She then turned away abruptly, suddenly finding an interest in the lockers to the left.

Her hair, being in braids, didn't shield her face however, and this time I was quite sure that I had seen traces of pink on her face.

I smirked.

But as she turned around, I concluded that it must have been from anger. She released her hand from mine, and brought it up to slap me across the face before hurrying off to class with a pace quicker then that of a wild horse's.

I stood there nursing a bruised ego before smirking again and continuing on my trek to 3rd period.

"Sit next to your spouses everyone." Ms. Kaori, our ever perky teacher sang, oblivious to the unappreciative moans from the class. Honestly, we could al throw tomatoes at her and she'd thank us for giving her ketchup ingredients.

"Now, I want you all to take out your eggs." She said happily. I still believe it to be amazing that the whole class had their eggs. Then again, Kagome and I had gone through.. how many eggs?

"Where's Inuyasha Jr., Kagome?" She shot me an annoyed look, and I shot her my award winning smile. Unfortunately, she didn't find my smile worthy of even an Honorable Mention award.

"Inuyasha Sakata. There is no way in hell I'm going to name my child Inuyasha Jr."

"It's an egg, love."

"Sakata, if you call m-"

"Kagome and Inuyasha you two make such a lovely couple. Now let me have a look at your child."

Kagome had no choice but to put on a pleasant face as she handed Inuyasha Jr. to Ms. Kaori.

The ever pleasant teacher examined the egg, and marked something on her check board. What was she doing? Grading an egg? Oh, yah, it's whiteness, whoa we get an A now, huh?

Ms. Kaori gasped, causing the girl next to me to jump a little. The teacher leaned over so that her face was inches away from ours, her beady eyes bulging behind her oversized glasses. "You.. haven't been feeding you baby well have you? Do you want your child to die of starvation? You should think about that." She said sharply, before moving on to Sango and Miroku.

Kagome and I sat there, with "Eh?!" looks on our faces.

Feed…the…egg. Well alllrighty then. We'll just do that then.

"What… was that?" I asked, blinking.

Ms. Kaori was soon at the front of the class, by then, all the students were blinking, probably in awe of Ms. Kaori's…compassion.

"All of you, except for Sango and Miroku, of course, as in danger of failing this assignment. You should all think about that." Ms. Kaori said, almost sobbing before storming out of the classroom, leaving the class to…more blinking.

Honestly, we were in our last year of high school, and we might not graduate because we didn't feed an egg? This was one messed up day.

The rest of the day was normal… well, as normal as Tokyo High school gets anyway. Miroku met me outside of the school's main building finally absent of the extra appendage that was Sango. He slapped my hand, as we performed our famous handshake.

It was then that Kagome made her way out of the school doors, braids flying in back of her, the loose strands of hair flying this way and that in front of her face. Oh who am I kidding, examining her like that. But then I saw Kagura and Kikyo, following her closely, whispering to each other.

"Kag." I called, as she passed me, but she continued on as if she hadn't heard anything. I was about to follow her before she fell out of my vision, and Kikyo fell into it.

"Hey Inu-baby." She purred, laying her hand on my shoulder as she brought her body closer to me. I looked away.

"You broke up with me Kikyo."

"Yes, I did. But I was so wrong baby.."

I looked at her, removing her hand from my shoulder. Ignoring the murmurs of "Are Inuyasha and Kikyo together again?" emitting from the other students, I exited the school grounds. By now, only seconds after, the rumors were most likely flying, it was tough being popular.

"Kagome!" I called after her. She was about 20 yards in front of me. I jogged after her.

She stopped. Wow, she was finally acting as if she did hear me. Interesting.

"What?" She asked coldly, spinning around.

I was a bit taken aback by her tactics, but managed to fill the hole in my ego just the same. What can I say? I had a lot of ego to patch it up back then.

"Don't get too exited but you can hang with me and Miroku. Sango will probably be there too. It is a Friday you know, and if you don't have to go sleep in your coffin to early, you could come along." I offered. Come now, it's not like I, Inuyasha Sakata went around asking rejects to spend time with me on a Friday night. How could she possibly say no to such an offer? How?

"No."

Oh…that's how. Well that was a blast to my obviously fragile ego. "Are you turning me down?"

"Yes."

Ouch.

"Sakata you act like it's such a privilege to be around you."

Well duh.

"But guess what? I don't feel privileged. In fact, I couldn't care less. The only reason we have to spend time together is for the project. I don't need much less want the 'honor' of wasting any more time with you then I have to. And right now, I don't have to." She said calmly, before spinning on heel and continuing home.

"Looks like your doing well." I turned to see the perfect person. Kouga. "Looks like I'm gonna be rich." He said smirking, putting his arm around Kagura, who gave him an 'ew' look before flipping her hair and floating away.

I remained quiet for once. I was so sure that I had made progress yesterday. This was all a game, a cruel, stupid game. And, from the looks of it, I was back at square one. I watched as Kagome's form became to miniscule to see. 'Okay Kagome. You want to play?'

Inuyasha Sakata had never and wasn't planning to lose a game. This was no different.

A/N: I doubt people are even reading this story anymore. XD
