A/N: I think I have some big plans for this story. I'll try to keep this as original as possible. I'd like to thank Fireyredfairy and Rabid Nozomi for reviewing!
Rabid: I know their both out of character. That's how I may keep them for awhile, or for the whole story. Hard to say.
Fireyredfairy: I'll update as much as I can! And because I have no life, that will be often. :)
Summery: Inuyasha a total nerd, Kagome the most popular girl in school. When they get asigned as a marriege couple, how far will Kagome go to make Inuyasha worthy of her time? How much will Inuyasha take?
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. Rumiko Takahashi does.
Chapter: You what?

Kagome let out a sigh she had been surpressing. 'I can't believe I got him! Out of everyone! When Kouga finds out he's going to freak.' Kagome walked back to her desk and pulled her back pack over her shoulder.
"Serene, don't forget who your with hmm?" Kagome nodded. "Yeah, sure." She pushed past Inuyasha who allowed it. His eyes were downcast, his bangs covering them.
"Inuyasha hon, are you okay?" Mrs.Philli asked as Kagome walked out. Inuyasha looked up and nodded. "Yeah, sure." He replied like Kagome had. "But at first I thought you were joking. You're kidding, right?" Mrs. Philli shook her head. "You and Kagome will work great together, just you wait and see." Inuyasha put on a fake smile and grabbed his bag. He walked out of the room, feeling terrible. Any other guy would have loved to be with Kagome, well guys with more self esteem then what Inuyasha had.
This had to be the worst day Inuyasha ever had. He was going to be in trouble with Kagome and her friends, not to mention Ayame. How would she deal with this? He knew pain would be the least of his problems with Ayame. There were much more things to worry about now.

Kagome was leaning against her locker, avoiding her boyfriend's gaze. Ever since she had told him (Ten minutes ago) about the project with Inuyasha, he just kept on giving her this look that read 'I can't believe this' and 'I'm gonna kill him.' Flattering to most girls, but deadly to people who knew what Kouga could do.
"So you just said sure alright, and that's it? You didn't even argue!" Kouga sure wasn't trying to keep his voice down. In a matter of minutes, if he kept this up, he would have the whole school listening for today's drama.
"Well what could I say Kouga? 'I don't want to be with some geeky nerd because I'm too popular for him?' Yeah, that would go over good." Kagome was about to go over the top. Why was this such a big deal? 'Maybe because Kouga's the most jealous guy in this whole school?' A voice in Kagome's head whispered.
"Well you could have said something!" Kouga yelled loudly. His crystal blue eyes were burning up with fire.
"Would you keep it down! Kami Kouga!" Kagome pulled open her locker. She pulled her science book out, while pushing her back pack in.
"No Kagome I wont! I don't want my girlfriend to be having a 'marriage' with some geek that loves to study for fun!" Kouga was beyond pissed now.
"Kouga, I can't be seen with you now. I have to get to class." Kagome pushed past her inraged boyfriend and walked down the hall to her science class, leaving Kouga alone.
Kouga narrowed his eyes and punched the locker closet to him. Which turned out to be Kagome's. All the studants around him stopped walking. They glanced over at Kouga without a sound being made. Kouga gritted his teeth together. Slowly he pulled his fist back and turned around to everyone that was watching him. "What the hell are you looking at! Get the hell away from me!" Everyone scurried away not wanting to make the king of the school any angrier.
'Fuck this.' Kouga thought to himself. 'If Kagome wont do something about the nerd problem, I will.' Kouga looked around the now completely empty hallway. 'Now if I was a dork, where would I be? Ah yes, with dear Ayame.' Kouga sniffed the air for the wolf demon ex, and quickly began to walk after it.

"You what!" Inuyasha winced at the high pitch Ayame had made with her voice. He put on a small smile hoping she would take pity on him, and not kill him. "I'm in a project with Kagome."
"Not just a project Inuyasha, a marriage one! Don't you know the difference? Inuyasha, you are married to Kagome Higurashi! Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!" It seemed Ayame wasn't trying to keep her voice level under control either.
Inuyasha winced again. "Yes I understand. But it's not such a big deal. I'll probably be stuck with doing all the work, and I'll probably never see Kagome once at all. So there's no problem."
"The hell there isn't!"
"Ayame, can you please keep it down?" Inuyasha sighed as he began leading her to their lockers.
"No I can't Inuyasha! Sure, you may think it's fine, but what about Kagome's friends? What about Kouga?" Ayame threw her hands in the air. "He could kill you!"
"Yeah I know but.."
"Could is the key word don't you think Aya-chan?" Ayame spun around. Just what Inuyasha needed, she thought as she watched her former lover walking calmly up to them. Kouga was smirking, something Ayame was sure she shouldn't like. "What do you want now Kouga?"
"I just wanted to talk to my good pal Inuyasha. Alone." Kouga grinned, walking up to Inuyasha and puting an arm around Inuyasha's shoulders.
"If you want to talk to Inuyasha, you wont mind talking infront of the both of us." It was more of a depend coming out of Ayame's mouth. She crossed her arms over her chest, leaning in closer to emphasize her point.
"No Ayame, it's okay." Inuyasha could hear the nervoness in his voice. He didn't want to look like a wimp infront of Kouga, the most popular kid in school. If Ayame stayed with the two of them, Inuyasha would surely look like he needed Ayame, a girl, for support.
"But Inuyasha I.."
"You heard Inu. He said he would be fine. Now run along red head, and we'll see you around later." Kouga waved Ayame off with his free hand, signally her to leave now. Ayame looked over at Inuyasha who nodded for her to leave also. "Fine I'll go," Ayame said. "but if you so much as punch Inuyasha I'll.."
"Bye Aya-chan, see you when I see you." Ayame grunted something neither male demons could understand. The red head stomped off loudly off to her next class, without any text books.
Bring! Bring!
Inuyasha looked up, realising that he was late, and now his perfect attendance was ruined. "S'ok little buddy. I promise to not take up too much of your time. Just shut up and let me talk okay? Sound's good." Inuyasha nodded, feeling uncomfortable now. 'Maybe I shouldn't have sent Ayame away.. no. Then Kouga would think I need her to protect me.. Maybe I do?'
"You obviously know that your marriage partner, Kagome, is my girlfriend no? And you see, it kind of ticks me off that you, of all people, are going to be her 'husband.'" Kouga had to stop himself from shivering when he said the word 'husband.' Inuyasha felt his ears shrink down in his silver white hair. This wasn't bringing any good feeling in Inuyasha to feel proud about.
"And I don't think Kagome's happy your her partner, do you?" Inuyasha shook his head alittle. "Thought so. So you and I are on the same path hey? That's good." Kouga paused thinking over his next choice of words. "So because your a geek, and Kagome is the queen of this school, I figure she just can't be seen with you. So how about, you do the whole project on your own, put Kagome's name on it, and that will be that. What do you think of that?" Inuyasha only nodded, taking in deep breaths. "Great! You've been a great hanyou. So remember, no going near Kagome, and doing the whole project on your own okay?" Inuyasha nodded. "Good. Well I better get to class, so should you. See you Inu freak." Kouga pulled away from Inuyasha and walked smoothly down the hall, chuckling under his breath.
Inuyasha ran his hand through his hair. He opened his locker and pulled out his history text book. 'It wont be so bad. It doesn't bother me if I do the whole project anymore. But... I think I kind of wanted to be near Kagome? That's crazy. Like Kouga said, I'm a geek, she's the queen of the school. It could never happen.' Inuyasha felt what left of his self esteem going down to nothing. Inuyasha sighed and began walking to his next class, his eyes clouded over with thought.

"You what?" Kagome was standing outside infront of a cherry tree with all her friends around her. Kagome's azure eyes were sparking with fury, and her fists were clentched to her sides. Kouga grinned, leaning against a tree of his own. "I talked to the hanyou freak. He said he would do the whole project on his own, and you wouldn't have to be anywhere near him."
"I never asked you to handle this for me Kouga! I want to actually have a part in this project. Just because he's a nerd, doesn't mean you can control his every move!" Kagome hissed through clentched teeth.
"Hey K.S, I did you a favor. Did you actually want to be seen with him? It could ruin your whole appearance." Kouga said smugly. "Like I said, I did you a favor."
"Appearance isn't everything you know!" Kagome yelled back. Kouga had done many things to annoy or get her angry, but since their senior year had started, he had been practically controlling her every move. And she was not going to take it anymore.
"Kagome's right. Kouga, you don't have to do everything for Kagome." Miroku spoke up next to Sango.
"Yeah Kouga, Kagome is a big girl." Sango agreed also. "She's not a needy child."
"So what, you all sticking up for the loser?" Kouga asked heatly.
"No, we just think you need to give Kagome some space." Miroku walked up to Kouga and put a hand on his shoulder. "C'mon, let's go for a walk before you do something stupid." Miroku led the grumbling Kouga off, winking at Kagome who smiled gratefully in return.
"I just can't believe Kouga sometimes!" Kagome yelled once the wolf demon was out of hearing range. "When he actually starts to grow up, someone better catch in on camera because that will be the day!"
Kagura surpressed her laugh, puting her hand infront of her mouth. "So what are you going to do about it?"
"I'll wait until that day, then when he gets even older I'll black mail him.."
"No, No. Not about that. About the geek situation." Kagura interrupted.
"Oh, that. I'm not sure. I mean, I want to actually work on the project. It's cool, except the dork part. I actually want to deserve a mark. But then there's Kouga who's all about appearance." Kagome sighed, taking in a deep breath.
"Your appearance. Kouga doesn't want anyone knowing your partnered with a loser because of his appearance." Kagura said.
"Well if Kouga's afraid for your appearance infront of the school, then he wouldn't care much for Inuyasha's, would he?" Sango asked.
"What are you getting at Sango?" Kagura and Kagome both asked, peering at the brown haired teen suspiciously.
"Inuyasha's a geek. Your not. Your appearance is high class, his low class. So, what if we fix that? What if we fix Inuyasha's standards."
"Like, change the way he dresses?" Kagome asked.
"Not just that, but everything about him. Turn the geek into a cheek. Make him into a babe magnet, turn his whole view of life into something Kouga can respect. Do you get what I'm getting at?" Sango's magenta eye's were sparking up with idea's.
"You mean, a make over? For Inuyasha?" Kagura asked amused. That actually didn't sound like such a bad idea.
"Yes! That's excactly what I'm talking about! Turn Inuyasha into his excact opposite."
"But what if he doesn't like the idea?" Kagura asked.
"Were only doing it until the project is over." Kagome said. "If he doesn't like it, right after the project he can turn back into his normal dorky self. Sango, this is a perfect plan!"
"Yeah, but what if Kouga find's out? He'll kill us for even thinking about this option." Kagura's eyes glazed over with the thought's on how raged Kouga would be if he found out.
"Then we don't tell him." The three girls turned around to face Kanna who had been silent the entire time. Her black eyes held no emotion as she stood still. "Keep it a secret, until we can't."
Kagome nodded. "Great! Then it's all settled. We can not tell Kouga about the make over. Not until he finds out and it's too late. Is everyone in?" All three girls yelled a 'yeah.'
Bring! Bring!
"Let's go find Inuyasha. The faster, the better." Everyone nodded and headed off back into the school, in search of the dog eared man.

A/N: Chapter two is done! Chapter three will be the make-over and alittle more if you know what I mean. Anyway, remember that I made Inuyasha and Kagome OOC on purpose. The more reviews the faster the next chapter. Til then..
Yume-Chan!
