10 Things You Hate About Me

Chapter 2: …Loathe Thee?

"Why not?" Inuyasha asked Miroku stubbornly.

"One, she probably has no idea of your existence and two, she can't date because of those sisters of hers," Miroku explained.

Inuyasha thought for a second. "So, if we found someone to date them, I could date Kagome?" he asked slowly.

"Yeah. But here we've got some good news, and some bad news. Bad news; it won't be easy. Good news; now I have an idea," his friend said, rubbing his chin with his index finger and thumb in a devious way.

"Would any of you be interested in dating…the Higurashi sisters?" Miroku asked the group, clapping his hands together cheerfully.

All six of them shook their heads and walked off. Miroku gave Inuyasha a knowing look. "Told you!"

Inuyasha sighed and they walked off to class. "You just don't get it do you?" he asked Miroku. "I just want to…know her," he said, sighing dejectedly.

"Well, she needs a tutor in Geometry," he pointed out.

"I…could do that," he said, sounding unsure.

"You good at math?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha shook his head. "No, but my brother is."

Miroku snorted back some laughter. "So your brother is going to tutor you in…tutoring Kagome?" he asked.

"Not really. I'm just going to see if he'll let me borrow his old math notes from highschool and use those to help her," Inuyasha reasoned.

Miroku made an 'oh' sound as they took their seats in their first class.

During Study Hall, Inuyasha took a seat beside Kagome.

"Hi, I'm…your tutor," he said nervously, adding, "But I don't have my book with me today, so we can't do much…."

Kagome smiled. "Oh, that's okay, I'm supposed to meet Yuka and Eri on the quad in like, five minutes anyway. So, what's your name again? Inushu?"

He sighed. "It's Inuyasha…. And hey, I was wondering if maybe you'd wanna go get like, something to eat and stuff one day. I know you can't date or anything but…since it wouldn't really be like…a date…" he mumbled, cheeks tinged a light pink.

"Aww, you're asking me out! That's so cute…I would like to, but I can't go anywhere with a guy- not unless my sisters get boyfriends, and that isn't happening," she told him reluctantly.

"Yeah, I heard they're a bit…violent," he said, trying not to say anything that might offend the girl beside him.

"Just a little," she laughed.

"If I found someone to date your sisters…we could like, hang out, right?" he asked.

Kagome looked shocked. "You would do that for me?" she asked incredulously.

He nodded. "Sure, I mean, I could try, I bet there's somebody out there who enjoys a challenge," he said with an indifferent shrug.

Kagome reached over the table and hugged him tightly. "That would be great!" she cheered, then pulled back and smiled. "I mean, it would be nice if you could."

He nodded. "I think you're supposed to meet your friends now. Besides, I promised to meet Miroku after we finished."

She thanked him as she got up and walked away quickly, her grin nearly spreading from ear to ear.

Inuyasha left the room soon thereafter to find Miroku, and then they made a beeline for the cafeteria.

"Okay, now I need to find two guys to date them, I told Kagome I would," Inuyasha persisted.

Miroku smirked. "A man of your word, eh? I like that…hmm…. But no one will date them. Can't you get that through your head?"

Inuyasha scanned the cafeteria impatiently, his golden eyes falling on two figures that looked slightly familiar. "What about them?" he asked.

"No, no, don't stare at them," Miroku shooed his eyes from the two in the back of the cafeteria. "The taller one, well, you hear tons of shit about him, so I don't know what to believe. I've heard he's an Opium dealer, some crap like that. He smokes, doesn't drink though, I dunno why that is. But apparently, he deals drugs, and drinks hot sauce for breakfast…"

"You're babbling like a fangirl, Miroku, what about the other one?" he asked.

"Nice enough guy, except the fact he's supposedly clinically insane, and is living in a Group Home until he graduates. I dunno what it is that makes him so insane, but he can be dangerous. Those are all just rumors though, so they're probably lies," he noted. "But they're trouble!"

"They're perfect is what they are," Inuyasha argued. "I mean, if I can convince them…for even one date, I'd have a chance," he reasoned. "Right?"

"What we'd need…is a backer," Miroku replied. "That's what would make it work."

"A what?" Inuyasha asked naïvely, confused.

"Someone with money…who's stupid," he muttered looking around. "Okay, I have a wonderful idea. I'll be back in a moment," he said getting up and walking to another part of the cafeteria, sitting down at a table where Naraku and his friends were.

"What are you doing here?" Naraku asked coolly. "Are you lost or something?"

Miroku smirked a little. "You want Kagome Higurashi, don't you?" he asked drumming his fingers against the table.

Naraku nodded. "What of it?"

"And you can't date her because her sisters are…well, evil, prudish, man-hating psychos, right?" he asked again, still calm.

"Right," Naraku agreed.

"My theory is, we find someone to date those two so you can have your way with Kagome…or whatever. How's that?"

"So…convince two guys to distract the two scary ones, and I get Kagome?" Naraku asked slowly, putting together the plan himself. "But how?"

"Pay them," Miroku suggested.

Naraku nodded, growing suspicious. "Okay, but…what's in it for you?"

Miroku thought for a moment, then smirked dangerously, firmly stating; "You have to leave me and my friends alone from now on. No more harassing us."

"Fine," Naraku retorted. "That works for me. So…who'd ya have in mind?"

Miroku looked around then pointed across the cafeteria.

"Them? I heard they ate two whole ducks once," the jock remarked, looking at them nervously.

"All but the beak, and feet," Miroku agreed. "Relax, they wont be to hard to negotiate with, and good luck," he said, patting Naraku on the shoulder and walking away.

Renkotsu looked from Suikotsu back to Naraku. "So, you're telling us you want to pay us to take out some chicks?" he asked.

Naraku nodded.

"How much?" Renkotsu intoned.

"50 bucks each?"

Renkotsu shook his head. He knew the rich-boy was completely relaxed, but didn't know what he was getting into. "Hmm…75 bucks, a date, and you have to pay for everything…" he reasoned. "Seems fair, right Suikotsu?"

Suikotsu looked a little conflicted at the notion, but nodded.

Naraku pulled his wallet out and laid some money in each of their hands. "Get to work then," he said hurriedly, walking away.

Renkotsu looked over at the girls Naraku had indicated, playing soccer, and watched one pretty much tackle another.

As the game finished the pair grabbed some towels, and he formulated his 'attack plan'. "Suikotsu, here's what we do," he said, whispering the rest in his partner's ear.

Suikotsu's eyes widened a little and he nodded.
