Heya! I didn't like chappy five that much, so I fixed it. I decided to get rid of the Tetsuaiga plot that I had going on. Now I'm introducing Yuki. This will be fun. Heheheh…

Chapter 5: Here kitty, kitty!

"YESS!!" Kagome shot her fist into the air. "You are a mutt! I win!" She started to dance around happily. "Go Kagome… it's ya birthday! Who's the mutt? Not me!!"

Inuyasha's ears drooped down. "Feh." He growled, looking away. "Beginners luck." Kagome stopped cheering

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha." The girl said softly. "I didn't mean to…" Kagome was at a loss for words, so she finished the sentence by crouching down and rubbing the demon's ears gently. Inuyasha didn't stop her this time. "You're not a mutt." She concluded, releasing his soft doggy ears, which twitched at her comment. Kagome glanced over at a photo of them when they were kids.

"You miss those times too, huh?" Inuyasha asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I really do too. I mean… we never really got to grow up together…" His voice trailed off into silence.

"Yeah…" Kagome smiled weakly. "I'm glad to be back together with you… but…" She looked down at the floor. "…it doesn't feel the same to be next to you…" She looked back at the picture. "I feel different… but it's a good feeling at least…"

"…" Inuyasha just looked at the picture, wanting to say what he felt. 'I feel it too, Kagome…'

The two sat in silence for a few moments, not looking speaking to each other.

"Well… I'd better go home." Kagome finally said, standing up. She walked to the front door, reached for the doorknob and paused. "I'll leave the window open for you, ok?" Inuyasha nodded in reply, a slight smile spreading to his face. With that, Kagome smiled in reply and walked through the door, leaving Inuyasha in silence.

& & & & &

"If (A) and (B) are equal, and (C) was the difference between the two, what would (C) be?"

Kagome tapped her pencil on the desk as she pondered over the question. "(C)… (C)… what is (C)?"

"Zero."

Kagome looked up to her right to see Inuyasha standing beside her, leaning over her work. "Zero." He repeated. "If (A) and (B) are equal, and (C) is the difference, that means you have to subtract (A) from (B). Since (A) and (B) are the same, you end up with nothing for (C). Get it?"

Kagome paused, trying to understand what Inuyasha said. After everything clicked, Kagome nodded, which made Inuyasha smirk.

"Betcha a mutt couldn't to that, could they?" He teased, poking her in the arm. Kagome giggled lightly.

"No… I guess they couldn't." Kagome replied with a grin. Inuyasha bent over her work again.

"Hm… seven questions to go, huh?" he muttered. "Finish them later and come with me." The demon took Kagome's wrist, but Kagome pulled back. "Come on!" he whined childishly. "I can give you the answers later!" Kagome still wouldn't budge. Inuyasha let out a sigh. He was going to have to use the… secret weapon.

Inuyasha made his eyes as innocent and puppy-doggish as he could to persuade Kagome, who let out a cry.

"NO!" She moaned. "not the… eyes!" His plan was working perfectly. "Alright." She said, giving in. "I'll come."

With one quick sweep, Inuyasha picked Kagome up, leapt onto the window and flew onto the rooftop beside them.

"Well, here we are!" Inuyasha said triumphantly as he placed Kagome down on the roof. Kagome looked out into the west to see the sun starting to hide behind the horizon.

"It's beautiful…!" Kagome said in awe. "How did you find this?"

"I saw it just a few minutes ago." He replied with a grin. "I knew you would like it… you've always liked things like these."

Kagome smiled warmly at Inuyasha, then turned back to the sunset.

"Alright… now it's you have to help me." Kagome said, tugging the hem of his jeans. "You know the answers to the seven questions?

"Yep." He replied, grinning. "The answers are… in order…9, 35, 64, 14, 748, 5860 and nineteen twenty four!" Kagome giggled at this.

"So…" Inuyasha sat down beside Kagome in a dog-like position. "Whaddya want for your birthday?" Kagome blinked for a couple of seconds, then smiled.

"I…" She looked at the roof tiles. "…don't really know…"

"Oh!" Inuyasha said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "That really helps!" The demon crossed his arms in frustration as he sat down normally, which made Kagome laugh.

"Well, Inuyasha… thanks for showing me this… that was really sweet of you…" Kagome leaned over to Inuyasha and kissed him lightly on the cheek. The demon's face went deep red as she did so.

"Er… you're welcome…" He mumbled, avoiding her gaze. "Well… you'd better get back inside before your mother finds out you're up here. I can hear her coming up the stairs. Kagome nodded and climbed on Inuyasha's back.

& & & & &

"Kagome? Kagome are you there?"

Nagano walked slowly up to Kagome's room. She had noticed that she could not hear Kagome's muttering as she finished her homework, which confused her.

"Kagome…" She said again. Kagome didn't answer. Was she asleep? "Kagome… I'm coming in…"

Inuyasha quickly leapt inside Kagome's room. After Kagome climbed down, she muttered a thank-you to the demon before he vanished from view. The door creaked open just as Kagome dove under the covers.

"Kagome…" Nakano entered the room and smiled. There was Kagome… resting in her bed, eyes closed. She then looked over to her desk and noticed that her homework wasn't there. "Hm…" She murmured to herself, placing a finger on her chin. "How peculiar…" Ms. Higurashi finally shrugged it off and left the room.

& & & & &

"Inuyasha!!"

Kagome waited outside Inuyasha's window. "Inuyasha! Are you ready yet?!"

"Give it a rest, Kagome!" The demon shot back, sticking his head out of the window. "Maybe I should yell at you one morning!"

"Kitty!! I'm HO-OME"

Inuyasha froze on the spot. His ears flattened against his skull and his face became pale.

"Uh oh…" He whispered. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Kitty!" the voice called again. "Where are you?!" The demon swore under his breath.

"Who is that?" Kagome said, smiling.

"Rin." He replied, the look of fear hadn't left his face. Inuyasha turned around and went inside his room. Kagome listened as Inuyasha ran around his room, finding his homework and school uniform.

"Who's Rin?" Inuyasha was starting to get frustrated.

"I'll tell you later! Just… wait a minute!" There were several more thumps before Inuyasha appeared again, this time, dressed in his school uniform, although Kagome could see his white shirt near the collar. The demon leapt down in front of Kagome.

"Anyway…" He started, throwing his bag over his shoulder. "Rin is my little sister… well, actually, she was adopted by my parents-" Inuyasha was silenced by another "KITTY" call. "Oh, crap!" He said, taking her wrist. "Time to go!"

As if by instinct, Kagome leapt onto Inuyasha's back just as he took flight. They flew a couple blocks, leaping from building to building. Kagome looked down and noticed a familiar shape on the ground.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome took one of her arms and pointed down at the figure. "Look! It's Miroku and Sango! Let's go walk with them!"

"As you wish." Inuyasha growled, rolling his eyes. Kagome whacked him on the back of the head.

"Don't be such a jerk!" She snapped. Inuyasha muttered something, but Kagome didn't hear it, so she whacked him on the head again.

"HEY!" He yelled. "Give it a rest already!" Kagome was about to retort, but was stopped when she heard a couple of familiar voices.

"Hey! Kagome!"

"Inuyasha!"

The two looked down at Sango and Miroku, who had stopped on their walk to school.

"Come down here!" Miroku called up to them. Inuyasha did so and landed gracefully in front of the two.

"God, you two are loud!" Sango laughed.

"I could hear the yelling when I stepped out of my house." Miroku added with a smile.

"Er… Miroku…" Kagome muttered, sweat dropping. "We're in front of your house.

"So?!" He protested. "It was still loud!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"And I thought you were smart." He growled, thinking back to the cafeteria the day before. Miroku grinned.

"Hey Inuyasha." Kagome nudged her friend in the arm. "You never told me who Rin is yet!"

"Rin?" Sango looked at Inuyasha in question. "Who's that?"

"…Rin… is my little sister…" He replied glumly. Inuyasha watched in fear as the girls' eyes lit up. "Well… sort of my sister… we adopted her. Ugh! She drives me INSANE!!" The demon pulled his hair in frustration.

"I don't see what's so bad about her." Kagome said. "She sounds adorable!"

"Yeah… if you're a girl!" He retorted. "She won't leave me and my ears alone!"

"Ears… kitty…" Kagome pondered over the nickname for a while. Then it hit her. "Hey! I get it now! Kitty!" She closed her case by giving Inuyasha's ear a quick tweak. "I can't believe I didn't think of it before!" Inuyasha growled under his breath as Kagome started to laugh.

"It's not funny!" He yelled, which made Kagome laugh harder. "That's it!" The demon lunged for Kagome, who jumped out of the way.

"Nyah, nyah!" Kagome teased, sticking her tongue out. "Here kitty, kitty!" Inuyasha lunged again. Kagome merely stepped out of the way. "Come on… you can do better than that!"

"Was that supposed to get to me?" A voice said from behind her. Kagome darted around to see Inuyasha looming over her. She let out a small cry of surprise and lost her balance. Inuyasha watched as Kagome fell flat on her butt, then smirked.

"Dare to say that again?" He growled, his golden eyes flashing with anger. Kagome quickly shook her head. It was then that Inuyasha noticed the… eyes. Ugh! They were going to be the end of him! What was it with Kagome and looking innocent?! She was dangerous, and he knew it. His eyes softened slightly as he reached a hand out to her. "You okay?" Kagome nodded and took his hand. The demon quickly pulled her up and waited as she brushed herself off.

"Alright!" Miroku shouted. "Enough of the sappy stuff! We're going to be late for school!"

"Huh! You should talk!" Sango retorted. "You're the king of the lechers and perverts!"

"King of the lechers and perverts, huh?" Sango watched in fury as Miroku put a finger to his chin. "Hey! I like it! Dibs on that for my chat line!" The three sweat dropped at the strange boy in front of them.

"Hey!" Everyone turned to see Kouga yelling at them from across the street "Get your asses over here! We're gonna be late!"

& & & & &

"Alright, class!" Mrs. Sakuya yelled, silencing her group. The Study of Demons and Humans teacher was tall and willowy with her hair tied back loosely. She only seemed to be in her late twenties. Some of the older students had the hots for her, but unfortunately for them, she was married to a teacher from another school.

So anyway… "Get to your seats please! Class is starting!"

Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku, who were all in this one class, sat in a group in the back corner near the window. After chatting for several minutes, they were silenced by the young teacher.

"Alright class, today's lesson will be on the two famous swords, the Tetsuaiga and the Tensaiga." Kagome and Inuyasha looked up from their desks, suddenly more alert. When Kagome was little, Inuyasha had told her stories about the legendary swords and explained that they were family heirlooms… well, only one of them, for the other sword -the Tetsuaiga- had disappeared a long time ago and had yet to be found.

"…and it is believed to be held in the tomb of the great demon of the West. The portal is said to be sealed inside a black pearl, but to this day, this story is believed to be legend." Kagome turned to Inuyasha, who simply yawned. This was old news to both of them.

"Where do you think it is, Inuyasha." Kagome asked as she stretched. Inuyasha shrugged.

"I dunno." He turned and grinned. "My fathers old friend, Totosai thinks it's in my eye." Kagome giggled.

"Hey, guys!" Kouga stood at the doorway, waiting for the two teens. "Come on! Yuki's dumping her latest boyfriend!"

Kagome laughed. "This will be good!" She said. "Come on, Inuyasha! You have to see this!"

Before Inuyasha could reply, he was dragged out of the classroom into the hall.

"Come on, Yuki!" A fairly desperate boy looked at a young girl with pleading eyes.

"No!" She replied, glaring at him. Yuki's hair was cut to just above the nape of her neck. A small portion of it was pulled up in a little ponytail while a couple butterfly barrettes held her bangs out of her face. She wore quite a bit of make up, and made her uniform as revealing as possible. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Oh look." Inuyasha said, nudging Kagome. "A bimbo cheerleader." Kagome scowled, but then smiled.

"That's Yuki." She explained. "When she breaks up with a guy, it usually means that she has her eyes on a new guy." Sango, who stood beside Kagome, glanced at Inuyasha warily.

"Kagome…" Sango whispered. "What if she has her eyes set on Inuyasha?" Kagome gasped. She hadn't thought of that. Ayami soon caught on and whispered the news to Miroku.

"That is bad news…" Miroku whispered. The perverted teen had gone out with Yuki for a few weeks, but when a new boy entered the picture, she tossed him away like a piece of garbage. "I'll help Inuyasha with avoiding her." He said. Kagome smiled.

"Thanks a billion, Miroku." She said. Miroku grinned.

"Anytime, Kagome" He replied. Everybody then turned back to the show.

"Please! I swear! I didn't cheat on you!"

"Oh, please!" Yuki cried, wiping away invisible tears. "I've seen how you look at that girl! You're a liar! We're through!" She stormed through the crowd, bumping into Inuyasha as she passed. She stopped and looked up at him through 'teary' eyes.

"Sorry." She sniffed. Inuyasha gave her a disgusted look as she walked away. Kagome, who stood behind Inuyasha, scowled as the girl strutted away, swaying her hips as she did so.

"Stupid bitch…" Inuyasha growled, walking away. Yuki turned back, her eyes narrowing.

'This one's tougher than I thought…'

TBC…

Awright!! Next chappy has quite a bit of plot in it. Fluff, however, I am not so sure about.
