Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

I'm thankful that people reviewed, but when you review, can you please leave out the part that it's so done already. I know it's done already, but like I said. I just want to write this kind of fanfic. So please, if you are going to review, don't mention anything about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

High School Love Ch.2: Partners

"So...how was first period, Kagome?" Sango asked.

Kagome and Sango were having their lunch period now and were discussing the classes they went through already.

"It was the worst. Guess who I have to sit next to?"

"Who? Inuyasha?"

"Yeah...how did you know?"

"Lucky guess."

"How about you? What about your first period?" Kagome asked.

"Instead of getting to sit next to a decent guy, I end up sitting next to a pervert."

Kagome laughed slightly. "Well, you wanna switch places?"

"Yeah, but too bad we can't."

Then suddenly a tray landed in front of Kagome. She looked up to see Inuyasha and his friends. "What do you want Inuyasha?" Kagome said.

"Nothing. Just want to sit here. Don't mind do you?"

"Of course not Inuyasha." Kagome said and looked at Sango. She gave Sango a stare that said: When he sits down, we move.

Inuyasha sat down, but Kagome and Sango stood up with their trays. "Of course we don't mind because we were leaving anyways." Kagome said and she and Sango left for their next class.

"Hey Inuyasha!" said Miroku, who was one of Inuyasha's friends.

"What?"

"You like Kagome, don't you?"

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

"No, but it seems like you do."

"...I-I'm just messing with her."

"...Whatever you say." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What's our next class?" Sango asked.

"...Um...I think its History. We have Mrs. Mara."

"Thanks goodness. Mrs. Mara is the nicest teacher I know. We're lucky." Sango said.

"I don't know where the class is though."

"Don't worry. I know where it is. She used to teach me mathematics." Sango said.

"Okay then." Kagome said and followed Sango to the class.

When they arrived they were greeted with some familiar faces.

"Kagome!" Someone shouted.

"Oh. Hi Rin." Kagome said.

"I'm glad we're in the same class." Rin said.

"Yeah. It would have been hell if I had to sit next to the pervert Miroku again." Sango said.

Kagome scanned the class to see anyone else she knew.

"Hey! Kagome!"

"Hi Shippou! I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?"

"Great. You?" Shippou asked.

"Okay...I guess." Kagome said.

"Where's Mrs. Mara?" Sango asked.

"She went to the office for a phone call." Rin said. "Why don't you sit next to me and Shippou?"

"Okay." Sango and Kagome said at the same time.

They took their seats and were prepared for a new lesson, but Mrs. Mara never came. The students started to get wild. They were doing everything they weren't supposed to do. Kagome started to tap her fingers on her desk. "I wander where Mrs. Mara is..." Kagome said out loud.

Sango looked at her watched. "Only 10 minutes left for this class. Why don't we just go?"

"That sounds like a plan to me." Kagome said and stood up with Sango.

"We'll see you guys later." Sango said to Rin and Shippou. She and Kagome waved a goodbye and left for their lockers.

"That was totally pointless." Kagome said.

"I know. Hey Kagome. Look over there." Sango said.

Kagome looked where Sango was staring and saw a bunch of girls surrounding someone.

"Isn't that Inuyasha?" Sango asked.

"I guess, but anyway don't we have Mr. Raka next?"

"No. We have...Mrs. Hana next. World studies." Sango said. "Inuyasha's pretty popular with the girls, isn't he?"

"Oh no." Kagome said.

"What is it?"

"I think Inuyasha's in that class."

Sango laughed.

"Sango! It's not funny."

"Sorry. I just can't help it." Sango said. "Ok. Let's go."

The girls got their books and headed for their next class. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay class. For the next two weeks, you will all be working on a project with a partner. I will be arranging the partners so do not expect me to arrange you with your best friend."

The class groaned and started to protest. "If you do not behave, there will be another project."

The class went silent.

"Now...for the parings. Sango...with Miroku."

Sango hit her head on her desk several times.

"Naraku and Kouga. Kikyo...and Hojo. Kagome and.... Kagome...and Inuyasha."

Kagome looked across from her and saw a smirking Inuyasha. Oh how she hated this day.

"You and your partner must have to pick a subject that happened in history. You will write a 2 page report and make a model. I will hand out a sheet that has instructions when you are about to leave. Is that clear?"

"Yes." Was the students reply.

"Good. Now you may get up and discuss your project. Each of you are to do the project at home, not just at school. You may get started now."

The students got up and went to talk with their partners. Inuyasha decided to move closer to Kagome since she wasn't getting up.

"Isn't it great that we're partners?" Inuyasha said.

"Look Inuyasha. I'm gonna cooperate with you this time only so you better do the same."

"Why? Never made a bad grade before?"

"No and I'm not planning to." Kagome said. "And I was thinking our project would be about the Shikon No Tama."

"Whatever."

"You never care about anything, do you?" Kagome said.

"Maybe. Maybe not."

Kagome sighed. (a/n: too much sighing isn't good for you.^_^) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't stand this!" Kagome yelled. "He makes me do all the work and all he does is sit around and watch."

"Well at least he doesn't grope you ever single minute." Sango said.

School was finally over after a couple more classes and Sango and Kagome were now walking home.

"This was the worst day ever." Kagome said.

"I thought for sure that Miroku wasn't in that class, but he is. Just my luck."

"..."

"What's wrong Kagome?"

"...nothing. I just feel a bit..."

"A bit what?"

"Nothing. Just forget what I said." Kagome said. "I'll see you tomorrow." With that, Kagome ran towards her house while leaving Sango confused.

"...I wander what's wrong with Kagome..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome ran up to her room and flung herself onto her bed. She didn't feel happy anymore. She felt lonely, sad, depressed, and neglected. 'I hate my life.' Kagome thought. She was about to take a nap, but then the phone rang. She went to pick it up.

"Hello?" Kagome said.

"Hey. It's me. Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha? How did you get my phone number?"

"I have my ways. Anyways. About the project. Is it okay if I come over? You know, to work on the project."

"...Well...fine. Do you need my address or do you have it already?"

"I have it. I'll see you soon."

Inuyasha hung up. Kagome did the same and went to sit on her bed. She closed her eyes tightly. "..I have a bad headache. I better take some medicine." Kagome changed her clothes into a pair of tight blue jeans and a blue tang top. She went downstairs and into the kitchen. She took some pills and walked out the kitchen. She heard the doorbell rang a couple seconds later and went to answer it.

"Come on in." Kagome said tiredly.

"You sound terrible."

"Thanks a lot. Go ahead and sit in the living room. I need to go upstairs to get my stuff."

Kagome came back down stairs and saw Inuyasha staring at pictures of her family on the walls.

"Are you home alone?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah." Was all Kagome could say.

"Who do you live with anyway?"

"My mom, little brother, and my grandfather, but he passed away a few weeks ago."

"What about your dad?"

"Don't you think you're getting into my business a little too much?" Kagome asked in an annoyed tone.

"I was just curious. You don't have to get an attitude." Inuyasha said.

"...fine. Let's get started." Kagome said and went to sit down on the couch.

The two worked quietly on their project.

"Let's take a quick break. I'll go get some drinks." Kagome said. "What do you want?"

"Do you have coke?"

"I think so. I'll be right back."

Kagome came back with 2 cans of coke in her hands. She gave one to Inuyasha. He opened it and drank it. Kagome did the same.

"I'm quite surprised." Kagome said after she had finished her coke.

"About...?"

"...I'm quite surprised that you're acting nice."

"...What does that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing."

Inuyasha looked at the clock on the wall. 'It's getting pretty late.'

"What times does your family come home?" Inuyasha asked.

"...I don't see them. I mean I don't seem them often. My mom is always busy with work and my brother likes to stay with his friends."

"...so you're all alone."

"Here we go again. If I just said that I don't see them often, doesn't that mean I'm alone most of the time?" Kagome said.

Kagome waited for a reply, but Inuyasha never said anything.

"...Well...um...I think that's good for today. We'll work on it tomorrow." Kagome said and stood up from the couch. Inuyasha stood up next and gathered his things.

"See you tomorrow, my Kagome." Inuyasha said when he was about to leave out the door.

'...my...Kagome?! What...in the world has gotten into him?!' Kagome thought. She was red as a tomato.

"It's a joke! I don't believe you fell for it." Inuyasha said and laughed.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said and hit him playfully.

Inuyasha left out the door and left Kagome to stand there in wonder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day was a very short day. Kagome thought it wasn't that bad like yesterday, but she did hate one period that day, lunch.

Kagome and Sango were eating their lunch peacefully, until.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
