Here we go again.

I own nothing.

Chapter two:

"Well, well, well, look at this class we are blessed with the rarely seen appearance of Mr. Takahasi." Smartly stated the English teacher of class 11-0B as she and her classed watched him drag his feet into class.

"Yeah, yeah, I have to come once and awhile to save these poor students from the bore of this class." Inuyasha said as he slouched into his seat.

The class started to 'oh' and 'ah' at his quick insult towards the teacher. The students couldn't get enough of him, he was quick, funny and the biggest smartass you'd ever meet.

"That's enough, all of you." The teacher spoke strictly, "Get back to your workbooks!"

"Someone hasn't been getting any..." Mumbled Inuyasha,

"Excuse me young man, what 'haven't I been getting?'" said the teacher as she smacked a hand down on his desk looking down at the slouched Inuyasha.

"What I meant was; you need to get laid." He said dryly to her face.

"Are you asking for another suspension?"

"Threats and more threats, that's all they teach teachers how to do these days-" he was about to continue but stopped as he saw the schools principle walk in.

"Oh, have I disturbed something Mr. Inuyasha was saying?"

"Oh Sir, I was just asking our lovely English teacher what I missed last class, sadly my body was overpowered by a terrible weakness." Inuyasha said with a great deal of sarcasm.

"Of course, Inuyasha that's what happened, " started the principle, " I jut came to make sure Mr. Inuyasha here actually went to class after I caught him smoking out in the back again during class time, now that I know that he's here I have no purpose being here. Happy learning!" and with that he walked out.

"Well then Inuyasha if you desperately want to know what you missed out on last class well here it is, the acuminating assignment was handed out, it will be done in pairs and since you were away Ms. Kagome Higurashi has been made your partner."

"Who?" said Inuyasha with a confused look on his face, all there other students laughed as Inuyasha bluntly stated that he had no clue who this 'Kagome' was.

"That was terribly rude of you Inuyasha, apologize!"

"How can I apologize to someone I've never seen before!"

"Kagome stand up please." asked the teacher.

Timidly, a girl stood up from a row of desks in the back, her eyes looked down to her desk.

"Nope, never seen her before…"

"Inuyasha!"

"Oh, yeah, sorry."

"Alright, class get together a disuse your projects, remember though you are given a month to complete the project it's worth 30 of your final mark, use your time wisely."

Kagome didn't know what to do; she just sat at her desk staring at her sketches on rough paper.

'I don't like this boy.' She thought

"Hey, you, what is this project on anyways?" Inuyasha dragged a chair over to her desk and sat down, "Hello I'm talking to you…"

"World peace on modern earth." She whispered.

"Huh?"

"That's our topic, World peace on modern earth," she spoke a little louder. She handed a rubric over to Inuyasha, it explained the project.

The project will be done in co-ed pairs so the ideas and individual points will be from both a female and male perspective. You are both to have individual essays written from your perspective, which will be followed by the pair teaming up and assembling an hour and a half seminar which the pair will present to the class including some sort of visual presentation as well as a lecture. Good Luck.

After he read this his eyes went wide, this project looked a little more complicated then he thought. He was actually going to have to work with this Kagome girl.

"Ok, so this is going to be a bitch of an assignment…hey, do you even say more then two words?" He was only faced with silence; she wouldn't even look up at him.

'What is with this creepy chick, she whispers, she won't look up from her desk, and worst off she doesn't even seem kind of attracted to me.'

Yup, you've got it folks, he was full of himself.

The bell rang.

"Well I'm out of this joint. See yah." and Inuyasha flew out of that class room door while one of his friends, Miroku, followed him.

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

"Why the hell did I get stuck with that mute chick." he said as a puff of smoke came out from his mouth.

"She's not mute, she's just different." said Miroku as he flicked the top of his cigarette.

"How do you know her?"

"She went to my elementary school. She was always the odd one out; she sat in the corner during recess drawing, writing or listening to music. She never made socializing one of her priorities, no one knew why. No one questioned it either, it was just the way she was since grade one. Of course we all had our suspicions, so the rumors traveled. Some thought she was actually mute you know, this was around grade four, the names were horrible, but we didn't know what we were saying, we were only in grade four after all. Anyways, one day she went nuts, on this girl who was the popular girl at the time, Kagome just exploded, pulled hair, swore and cursed at this girl, Izuma I think was her name. But the thing was while she was beating Izuma up and we all stood around watching, she kept screaming 'I hate you, I hate you dad' she never once said I hate you Izuma or anything like that…"

Miroku Inhaled the cigarette once more then threw it on the ground and stepped on it.

"So naturally after that fight she was suspended and 2 weeks later when she came back everything was the same, she went back to her quiet self. But she came back with bruises, just little ones on her arms which you could notice during gym class, and one bigger one around her left eye. Izuma claimed she did it when they were fighting, but that wasn't true because we all saw that Izuma didn't lay on hand her while they were fighting, she didn't get the chance to. So no one spoke about it, I just assumed it was home abuse. That's all."

They both stood in silence for a little while.

"So, she's had it tough." Inuyasha said finally

"Yeah, so don't hurt her or anything." Miroku stared at the ground

"You're a softy Miroku; I don't even know why I'm your friend."

"You know why, all those other guys aren't really your true friends and you need me you bird turd." Miroku chuckled.

"Yeah, so what..." chuckled Inuyasha

They again were in silence, it was true though, Inuyasha was the most popular guy at school yet he only had a few true friends, one of them being Miroku.

"So, umm, do you know where she lives?"

"Who, you mean Kagome; yeah I know where she lives."

"Take me to her place, I took her rubric for the project, she'll probably use it more then me."

"Alright, let's go."

a b c d e f g h I j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

"So this is it." Inuyasha said standing in front of an average sized home with Miroku.

"Yup."

"Hey, thanks for bringing me here, head over to the joint and order me a double burger, oh and a coke. I'll be there in a minute."

"Alright, remember, be nice."

"Yeah, yeah."

"See yah later." Miroku waved as he walked off.

Inuyasha rang the door bell and waited for a few moments before watching a man, about 5.9 answered the door, in a business suit, with a crooked tie and a 6 o'clock shadow around his chin.

"Who are you?" he asked roughly, he didn't look like a friendly fellow

"I'm her…I mean Kagome partner on a school project."

He turned back into the house and yelled, "Hey! Get down here!" Inuyasha winced at the harshness in his voice.

"Coming." said a meek voice from up stairs.

"I have to go." the man spoke again, and left going towards his car and speed off.

Kagome came running towards the front door in a large white T-shirt and pink flannel shorts. She had her hair in a side pony-tail with strands of hair circling her face and her bangs lay on her for-head. She wasn't wearing her glasses and those brown eyes were reviled to him for the first time.

'She's…' his thought was distracted by her arms…

He could see them, the small bruises on her arms.

'Why weren't they gone from grade four?' he asked himself stupidly

"Ohh." She said, "Hello…"

He snapped out of his trance and watched her hug her arms, like she was guarding them.

"Hey, Kagome. You umm… I grabbed your rubric in class, which you probably want back, since you umm like school work."

Did he just stutter in front of a girl, the suave Inuyasha stuttering. That was new.

"Oh, thank you." she said as she took the crumpled paper from his hand. She turned her head from him and back towards the familiar ground.

"Sorry for starring…" he was about to go on when she interrupted him.

"You're different…from when you're at school." she still looked at the ground.

"Yeah, I guess I am…your eyes, they're pretty…like this, without glasses I mean."

"Umm," she now stuttered

"Well I'm going to the burger joint I promised Miroku I'd be there, you should come if you want, and we can talk about our project."

"No, my dad wouldn't like that, but thank you." she said quietly

"Alright, catch you tomorrow." and he left.

'My face is burning…' she thought as he ran off
