Chapter 4 · Cheeky

Next morning, Kagome woke up, yawned, and found herself wrapped around Inuyasha's arms. 'So that was where all that warmth was coming from..'

He pulled her closer, not knowing she was awake. Her head fit snugly and perfectly under his chin, it was actually comfortable.

He opened one eye, but closed it shut. He was nearly blinded by the morning sun. He opened his eyes and yawned.

"Wakey wakey, sleepy head." He heard Kagome's voice.

"Gahh, bitch woke me up.." He mumbled.
"What? Stop mumbling."
"Leave me alone."
"Ok.."

.............

"Why are you still here?" Inuyasha grumbled.
"Can you let go of me now please? .." Kagome glanced at the clock. It read 7:05! She was going to be late for school!! "Oh fuck, Oh fuck.." she chanted, not waiting for Inuyasha to let go, but she nearly fell because of Inuyasha's grasp.

"What the fuck are you 'oh fucking' about?" He asked her. He watched as she struggled to get out of his grasp. He laughed.

"You stupid shit! Instead of laughing at me, get up off yo lazy ass and drive me back to school, damnit! I'm going to be LATE!"

"'Oh fuck, oh fuck'. So what if I'm late? Like the teachers care. Pff, you make me laugh." Inuyasha teased.

"Not YOU! MEEEEE!!!!" Inuyasha nearly fell off the bed.

"Alright, alright. Lemme take a shower first."

He stepped out moments later, wearing baggy jeans, white t-shirt. He told Kagome to hurry up and get in the car.

She ran to the car, hopped in, and fastened her seatbelt. "Drive."

He started up the car, turned up the stereo, and drove towards the school. As they pulled up in the parking, Kagome rushed to her room, said hello to a sleeping Sango, and stepped in the shower. She stepped out a minute later, with a towel wrapped around her, her hair still dripping wet. She turned around to her bed, only to find-

"INUYASHA?! What the hell are you doin' on my bed? In my room??" she shrieked, careful not to wake up Sango.
"Hey, I let you in my room, i just thought you just return the favor." Inuyasha smirked.
"BULLSHiT!!" and with that, she gathered her clothes and changed in the bathroom.

After what seemed like an eternity, Kagome finally stepped out of the bathroom, and found Inuyasha reading a magazine. She almost had to stifle back a laugh. She caught Inuyasha's shocked expression when he looked up from the magazine.
Kagome wore a jean miniskirt, and a matching jean jacket covering a black halter top. She had on those big hoop earrings, and black sandals.

'Whoa..' he thought as he looked at her carefully from head to toe.

"C'mon, don't wanna be late, ya know!" She pulled him off her bed. She can see that Sango had already left.

(Half-chapter )

Miroku waited patiently for Sango to arrive. It was taking her a long time to get ready..

Finally, her door opened, but he was disappointed at who came out.

Kagome was telling Inuyasha to hurry up as she pushed him out the door. Miroku had a chance to ask Kagome if Sango had already left.

"Hey, Sango still in there?" Miroku questioned.
"Nope, she left while Kagome took ages to get ready. She went out." Inuyasha answered.
"Yeah, she probably went to go catch a munch or two." said Kagome.
"Yeah.. maybe." As if she were on cue, Sango waltzed in, carrying a few muffins and some orange juice.
"Hey! I thought you guys were hungry, so i decided to get you guys something." Sango was happy to see everyone took a muffin and a carton of juice.

Kagome looked at the empty tray Sango was now holding.

"Aren't you hungry?" Kagome asked.
"Nah, I had some already. Hee hee. Thanks anyway," Sango laughed.

Miroku finished quickly."Shall we go?"
"Go where?" Sango asked.
"To class! Don't want to be late." He winked at Inuyasha and Kagome, who was just finished their muffins.

"Yeah, sure, let's go," Sango answered.
"Score.." Miroku whispered under his breath.
"What was that?" Sango thought she heard something.
"Nothing, nothing, dear."

FLASHBACK

"You lucky bastard. What else did she say?" Inuyasha shot the ball in the hole. They were playing pool at their favorite pub.
"Nothin' much.. Heh, I got her to let me drive her home." Miroku laughed. "How are things with you and Kagome? I see a connection here.." He smirked.
"..."
"I see.. You're not doing anything huh? I thought so."
"I'll tell you what, bastard, let's play a little game, hmm?" Inuyasha had something in mind..
"What is this game you speak?"
"If I score before you do, you have to date a guy. And if you score before me, I have to date Kikyou."
"A GUY?!? What the fuck?!"
"It's better than Kikyou."
"I see.."
"Good, because I intend to win."
"Not if I score first."
"You only score if you get the chance to.. you know."
"Heh. I'll have been scored."
"Over my- dead- body."
And the two shaked hands.

END FLASHBACK

"C'mon Kagome, let's go to class.. Kagome??" Inuyasha was so caught up in his little thoughts Kagome had already left him. "HEY! Wait up!"
