Crystal: Okay, I don't have much to say right now, so I'll just respond to the reviews.
Addanc-TSC: Thank you for the compliment. :) Yes, this will be a YusukexKagome pairing, with a bit of InuyashaxKagome mixed in. I think YusxKag is a pretty cool pairing too, which is why I decided to write this fic.
Itsuko-chan: O.O I get your point.
Spellsattwilight: Twilight, shut up. -- Shut up or I'll stop updating! Mwahahaha! I can do that, you know. O.o But I wouldn't...so whatever...
L-O-O-K-I-N-G
Glimpse n. A brief, incomplete view or look.
A-T
The bell rang, signaling the end of school, and Yusuke was definitely ready to go home. He had only been in school for about a week and he was already fed up. He only wished he could go back to the good old days of only showing up once every two weeks, but Keiko would never allow that. (Stupid Keiko, she's controlling my whole life!)
In the meantime, relaxing for the rest of the day was good enough. To just hang out and...
"Yusuke!"
He winced as he heard Kagome calling out his name. She found me.
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Yusuke waited for Kagome to catch up in a rather annoyed manner, but Kagome didn't seem to notice. "I found some pretty good books in Study Hall," she said, shifting the books she held in her arms to show they were the ones she was talking about.
"How nice for you," Yusuke said with an eye roll.
"If you keep having an attitude like that, we'll never be able to work together!" Kagome protested. "Can't you just cooperate for this once?"
"Let's just get this over with. Where are you going to drag me to, Study Hall?"
Kagome nodded, and so they went.
Y-O-U
Yusuke looked reluctantly at the pile of books on the table before him. "We have to go through all of these?" he asked in disbelief.
"Well, yeah, that is what we're here for," Kagome replied, grabbing a book of the top of the pile and flipping it open. "We don't need to read them all today, okay? Let's just get through a few," she added as she began to read.
Yusuke shrugged, took a book, and flipped it open, his eyes skimming the page but not really picking up any of the content.
A couple minutes later, Kagome poked her head over to look at Yusuke's working area. "Aren't you going to take any notes?" she questioned, slightly irritated.
The boy looked up at her and blinked, a genuinely clueless expression on his face. "I'm supposed to be taking notes?"
Kagome sweat dropped, then rested her forehead in her palm. "Now I see why you're failing," she muttered.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Yusuke objected, picking up her remark.
She shook her head. "Nothing. Just take notes this time, okay?"
"Yeah, whatever," he mumbled glaring at Kagome slightly, but didn't protest.
The next hour-and-a-half went by silently, save for the rapid scribbling of Kagome's pen, and the occasional sound of Yusuke's pencil in motion. It was obvious Kagome was getting more done than her partner, especially after he excused himself to go who-knows-where for about 30 minutes, but it was a major improvement on Yusuke's part that he was actually working at all. Kagome didn't realize this then, but she still didn't know exactly how bad his reputation was.
The girl sighed, quietly closing her book as she finished the last page. She already had a slight headache from reading all that content (it was a rather large book.) She focused her brown eyes on Yusuke, who was tapping his pencil against the table and had a frustrated look on his face. If studying the books was slightly difficult for her, it must've been torture from him. "Hey, Yusuke?"
"Yeah?" He dropped his pencil and turned to look at Kagome, and their eyes met. Kagome's eyes widened as she stared at Yusuke...yet saw someone else in her mind.
His hair had changed to a silver color and grown out considerably, reaching to his waist, and it was no longer slicked back; thick bangs dangled in front of golden eyes, in need of a trim. He was clad in a red haori that seemed very similar somehow... But his face had not changed. It was still Yusuke's face.
"Would you quit staring at me like that!" Kagome blinked and the image disappeared, replaced by the boy sitting in front of her. "Geez, you were creeping me out."
"Sorry," she said, a light blush rising in her cheeks. "Um...I was just going to suggest that now might be a good time to go home."
"About time," Yusuke muttered, standing up and stretching a bit, before heading towards the door. "Ja."
Kagome nodded, still a bit flustered and confused by what she had just seen. "Yeah. Ja ne."
