Crystaltears: Yup, u're rite CRAZYPERSON!! The storyline's from a book in
the library. But we're changing stuff around to fit the story line and

this story. But don't give anything away!!

Chapter 6 - Into the Computer Store
'What did he just say? That he, the great and wanted Inuyasha, knows what it feels like to like someone that isn't interested in him? Yeah, right! Like maybe if he was crushing on Britney Spears!'
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, so don't feel bad, besides, I'm on your side now."
"Yeah...thanks." Kagome said reluctantly.
"Well, I'll pick you up at eight-thirty tomorrow. See you later." Inuyasha nodded at Kagome and walked down to his car.
"Yeah...see you...tomorrow."
---------------------
Kagome woke up the next morning to the loud and raucous ringing of her alarm clock. Now why had she set it to ring at seven in the morning? It was a day to sleep in. All nerds had to catch up on their rest sometime.
Oh yeah, Inuyasha had said that he was going to pick her up at eight- thirty. Kagome sighed and forced herself to sit up.
"Why so early? Why me of all people? Oh yeah...it's because Inuyasha wants me to go to the dance to show me a good time and I want to get a date with Abe. Ugh."
Kagome threw on a pair of Levi's with a cute belt and a red shirt with a white tank underneath and headed down to the bathroom to brush her teeth and comb her hair. Afterwards, she rushed downstairs just in time to hear the doorbell ring.
'Darn. I didn't even get a chance to eat breakfast.'
Kagome opened the door to see Inuyasha standing in the doorway. "Come on wench, you are SO slow!"
"No, I'm not, you just rang the doorbell."
"And you should've been waiting right at the door for me to ring."
"I have better things to do."
"Come on."
Kagome followed Inuyasha to the car. "Oh wait. Do we have to ride in your car?"
"What, are you scared again?"
"N-no. But you drive too fast. What would happen if you crashed?" Kagome eyed the Porsche with no seatbelts distastefully.
"That would never happen. I happen to be very experienced at driving. We didn't crash the last time did we?"
"No, but this time is not last time. Remember. I don't want to die young!"
"Sure, sure, whatever. I'll drive slowly this time. Ok? So get in."
"Never."
"Aw, come on! Why not?"
"Just one more thing."
"Go on."
"Define 'slow'."
"Damn, you ruin all the fun. They don't call you a smart for nothing."
"So drive to the speed limit, ok?"
"Yeah, whatever. Just get in already."
Kagome was still a little unsure about getting in, but then she put on a determined face and opened the car door and sat down on the cushioned seat. 'I hope this won't go too badly.'
------------------
Inuyasha and Kagome stepped out of the car and Kagome felt her heart beat quicken its pace. She was really nervous about this.
"Come on. Stop taking your time."
"I am not! If you weren't so self-indulgent all the time you'd know that. Am I wasting that much of your precious time? Am I just a bother to you? Because we don't have to do this if I'm such a nuisance to you and your ego! You can drive me back home if you want. I wasn't the one on insisting to come here in the first place!"
"I wasn't saying that!"
"Whatever." Kagome brushed past Inuyasha and was about to walk into the computer shop when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Wait. Don't go in yet."
"Now who's the one dawdling?"
"Just hold on a damn second would you?! You can't just walk in there like you were going to you know? You have to act uninterested."
"And how exactly am I going to do that?" Kagome snapped.
"Easy," Inuyasha slung an arm around Kagome's shoulders.
"W-wh-what do you think you're doing?!" Kagome tried to slide out from under his arms, but Inuyasha's wouldn't let go.
"It makes a guy notice a girl more if they see another guy has her, especially with such a cool guy like me."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. 'Ugh. Why this? To have him touching me or to get the outcome in the long run?' Kagome's face was tense for a moment, like she was having an inner battle, before Inuyasha saw that her will to go out with Abe had been stronger. It was funny how Kagome's form fit so perfectly against his side.
"Come on, let's go, if nerd boy-"
"Stop calling him that. He has a name, you know?"
Inuyasha stopped when she said that. He hated to admit it, but the way Kagome ordered him around intrigued him. Every girl at school would have been grateful if he focused his attention on them. They NEVER corrected him or told him what to do. And any girl would have fainted if he ever put his arm around them. He just didn't get her.
Inuyasha had to admit that she looked pretty cute in the clothes she was wearing; they weren't as baggy as the ones she wore to school and the top she was wearing left a quarter inch of her skin showing at her waist. 'I still can't believe she prefers that nerd to me! Weirdo. Kagome...hmmm. It seems that our time together is down to a week. She'll be out of my life at the end of Saturday. Maybe I'll give her an occasional greeting in the hall. And maybe, just MAYBE, I'll feel some satisfaction when I see her and Abe entangled in a lip lock in some corner. After all, he won't notice her at all if I don't help her. GOD! Why do I not want to feel like a third wheel? It's not like I like her or anything!' Wait! What was that smell? It was strange, but the fragrance was sweet and almost...exotic. It was coming from Kagome. But he hadn't smelled it yesterday, or any other time he had been with her.
"Hey, wench, did you spray on some special perfume just for nerd boy?"
"Um...no. I always wear it. It's jasmine and I love the way it smells. Is it too strong?" Kagome was bothered by Inuyasha always calling her a wench now, but she had something much more important to worry about right now. She didn't want to smell like some faux pus.
"Oh, no, it's just fine; I just don't want you to do stuff uncharacteristic of you to get his attention or anything."
"And you think walking somewhere with a guy-I-hardly-knows' arm draped across me is characteristic for me?"
"Just accept my judgment in this case, ok? Stop asking about everything I do and just play along for once!"
"Fine. Whatever."
"Then let's go in, shall we?"
"You should hold the door open for me."
"You're joking."
Kagome shook her head slowly. "It's proper etiquette to do so. Does your father not teach you manners?"
'God, this girl wants everything done for her. Talk about high maintenance.'
Inuyasha gritted his teeth together, "Whatever you say, Princess Kagome."
Inuyasha shoved open the door and guided Kagome through the computer shop door.
