Wow, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who reviewed! You guys have no idea how much those reviews brighten my days. Let me answer a couple questions (if I don't get your's, I either missed it, or it'll be addressed in future chapters ;)).

Many people – Yes, she bleached his hair. I'm evil, I know, but I wanted a white-haired Inuyasha. I play more with that and explain a bit later.

Foxxyfox1 – I'm a girl, 19 years old. (even if my writing doesn't seem like it)

Meow-chan – First, thanks for reviewing each chapter, I loved it. Second, no, molesters weren't common at my school, thankfully. And I'm not telling who it was. p

And now, on with the story! I had three days off of work, and couldn't NOT update during that ridiculous amount of time off, so I wrote like crazy. And then my motherboard fried. Not even kidding. So I had to wait for it to get back from the shop, and then I got major writer's block. But here it is, finally. I'm going to start leaving little updates in my userinfo, so if it's been awhile, check there. Now, on we go!

Chapter SIX

Truce?

Kagome happily tossed her bag in a corner, her mood the complete opposite of what it had been a day earlier.

"Someone's in a good mood today," Sango observed as she came over to Kagome's side and leaned in the doorway.

"You better believe it." Kagome hopped onto her bed and made herself comfortable, quite the picture of satisfied smugness. "And have I got a story for you."

"I thought you might, seeing as you managed to slip away from me during class."

Kagome grinned, "Well, you know Inuyasha and I have Health and Fitness together, right? Well, Monday, Wednesday, Friday is the fitness part, where we do some sort of physical activity. Tuesdays and Thursdays are lectures. The class is kind of small, so it was pretty much impossible to not run into him." Thus began her story…

ooooo

Health and Fitness was actually her first class of the day, at 8:00. The lucky freshmen always got stuck with the painfully early classes. The theory behind this particularly early class was that you could go to class, do the whole exercise thing, and still have time to go back and shower in order to be presentable for classes afterwards. The free time on lecture days would be set aside for "study time." Needless to say, the time was rarely used for studying, and on exercise days, the girls claimed they didn't have enough time, and the boys just doused themselves in cologne.

Anyway, when Kagome entered the lecture hall, she made sure to pick a seat far away enough from the door so Inuyasha couldn't attack her, but close enough that she still had a clear view of her handiwork. She ended up situating herself right smack in the middle, hoping others would sit in her row, thus blocking any path to her.

The professor walked in right as the digital clock on the side wall switch to 8:00, and hushed the class. "Good morning, everyone! You all look bright and cheery this morning."

…Right. Nearly everyone looked like they had just fallen out of bed, thrown on some jeans, and ran to class. Some students were still in pajama pants, and stared at him, bleary-eyed and yawning.

"This is Health and Fitness 101, or Hefi, as my former students have taken to call it. My name is Professor Ginki. I hope you are in the right class; if not, feel free to leave now, or go back to sleep." He smiled at the few scattered chuckles and a couple students made good on the go back to sleep offer, whether they were in the right class or not.

"Alright, now to get started, this semester we'll be covering Nutrition, Basic Exer-"

"WHERE IS SHE!"

Inuyasha burst through the door, in all his silver-crowned glory, not at all ashamed of the scene he was about to cause. He scanned the rows of seats until his angry dark eyes fell on his prey.

Kagome didn't know whether to try to run or hide. Sinking through the floor and disappearing forever didn't seem to be an option. Whispers broke out all around her, some recognized her from her tv debut, some waking up and wondering what on earth was going on – but mostly girls wondering who was that hottie?

She decided to face the inevitable and met her defiant brown eyes to his flashing black ones. (The fact that people had sat on only one side – the side opposite Inuyasha – and effectively blocked any escape route may have contributed to her decision).

"You..." he quite literally growled and stomped up the aisle to meet her. "How dare you…"

She stood her ground. "I'm in class!" She hissed.

"Does it look like I care if you're in class!" A vein was dangerously close to exploding.

She shot an apologetic look at the professor, gathered her things, grabbed Inuyasha's arm roughly, and marched out the doors. As the doors swung shut behind her, she vaguely heard the professor say, "Well, now that you're all awake," and continue where he'd left off, as if scenes like this happened every day.

As soon as Kagome reached a hallway corner, she shoved a rather startled and still fuming Inuyasha into a corner. She jabbed a finger in his face, "How dare you, interrupting class for everyone! And embarrassing me like that! AGAIN!"

Inuyasha shrank back for a moment. He wasn't used to fighting with a girl who fought back. And then his anger rekindled and he stared at the finger in front of his eyes. He grabbed it, "Don't you point fingers at me! You're hardly one to talk about embarrassment – look what you did to my hair!" He grabbed a lock with his free hand and waved it at her for emphasis.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Oh please. I did you a favor. Hardly my intention, but go figure." At Inuyasha's confused expression, she elaborated, "Don't you use your ears? Or are you completely deaf? Nearly every girl in that room was more interested in a boy with the "movie-star hair" (their words, I assure you) than in a crazed maniac that dragged a girl out of class. By the end of the day, every girl on campus will know who you are."

Inuyasha chose not to point out that she had dragged him out, as he paused for a moment to process what she said before releasing Kagome's hand.

"Wait…so…the chicks dig this?" All the anger seemed to be fading away.

Kagome snorted, "Apparently. Though I can't see why." She sighed and then said, "Look, I'm tired of making this a game to see who can do the most damage. As much as I hate to admit this, we have something in common: we're both very competitive. And who knows how far this would escalate before some serious damage was done."

Inuyasha had to agree there, albeit reluctantly. The crazy woman bleached his hair on the second day! It'd be a miracle if he was still alive at the end of two weeks!

"So I propose a truce," she continued. "No more tricks that can't be remedied within an hour or so. No more campus-wide embarrassment. Nothing that would be pushing those limits either," her eyes flashed as though daring him to try and just see what she would do to his sorry soul.

He hated to admit it, but this girl wasn't the pushover he thought she'd be. A truce would be in his best interest really. And what a challenge it would be, too. Let's see how far I can push those limits without actually pushing them…"Deal." He smirked and almost hoped she didn't think she was off the hook yet. She was still in for a crazy ride. And he was going to enjoy it.

oooooo

Sango's eyes were wide, "You mean you really dragged him out of the classroom and got him to make a truce?" She shook her head in disbelief as Kagome nodded, grinning like the Cheshire cat. "What did you do after that?"

"Well, I couldn't really go back to my class after that mess, so I just slipped into a class next door. No one stared at me or anything, since the whole fiasco only took a few minutes, and the class was the same one, just a different professor. I don't know where Inuyasha slinked off to." She shrugged.

"Well, you were right about one thing," Sango said, "All of campus is talking about you two: the girls about his hair (and the rest of him, truth be told), and the guys about the girl who did it to him."

"Fabulous." She leaned against the wall, "I've decided I don't really care anymore. People will talk, and it'll be old news in a week or so. Campus is big enough, something else will happen and I'll be out of the limelight with that idiot."

"Do you think he'll keep the bargain?"

"There's only one way to see. We'll find out in the morning, then, won't we?"

ooooooooo

"Wait, so, you're telling me that that girl not only dragged you out of the room, but had you pinned to a wall?" Trust Miroku to pervert it somehow.

"No, you idiot, she did not have me pinned to a wall-"

"But she dragged you out of class," he interjected. Inuyasha ignored him.

"-we simply came to a mutual agreement so neither of us end up dead next Friday."

"You gave in to her?"

"Keh." No further response was fitting for such a dumb comment, in Inuyasha's opinion.

"Amazing," Miroku mused, "We finally found a girl that could subdue you."

"Oh shove it. Why do I bother talking to you? I'm going to get some food." Inuyasha muttered and trudged out the door.

oooooooo

AN: FINALLY! This chapter did NOT want to be written. I think I spent more time staring at my computer screen than actually typing. I didn't plan on stopping here, but it's been awhile since my last update, and I'm moving in three days and still need to pack. Sorry that not a whole lot happened. I hope you enjoyed it anyway, please REVIEW for me! Thank you!
