I suck at physics… I failed my first test on measurements…and I got 3 and a half out of 10,which is a half mark more than what Kagome got thrice in a row. Heh. Okay, um, thanks for the reviews…and support this pairing, ok? Because it rocks!

Sesshomaru's POV

"Can I…can I sit with you?"

I could easily yell 'no' and just hurry up and find a seat before the bus driver got even more annoyed ("OI! Young man, if you're going to stand down there forever, don't make us accompany you! Hurry up and just answer that young lady's question already!"), but something made me stay where I was. Perhaps it was how I thought she was really brave to ask ME something like that. Usually fan girls wouldn't dare to stand a meter away from me for fear of fainting out of sheer nervousness. But she- she was altogether a different case.

"Suit yourself," I finally settled on saying, and hurriedly walked up the remaining steps as the bus driver threatened to drive off. The girl followed just as quickly, smiling secretly to herself. Huh. I plopped myself down on one of the empty seats, and she sat beside me. As the bus rumbled off, I watched her out of the corner of my eye. She appeared to be stifling a giggle, adorably (uh- did I just say that?) biting her lip to keep from bursting into a fit of girlish laughter. "If you want to laugh, do so," I snapped. "Don't control it because it's darn annoying." Instantly I heard peals of laughter coming from her, and groaned. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

Kagome's POV

I was so elated that I was sitting next to Sesshomaru. SESSHOMARU, for goodness' sake, Sesshomaru the perfect-est guy in the whole entire universe! No celebrity would be able to stand beside him without feeling inferior. Let's face it. This guy was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. After I was done with my giggling, I cocked my head to one side and studied him.

"What is it, Higurashi? It's not nice to stare." He said coldly. I blushed. "I wasn't staring!" I protested. "I was merely admiring the way you look like a finely-chiseled statue." He raised an eyebrow in amusement. Oh, kami… did I just make my situation worse? "Sorry! I'm bad at phrasing stuff!" I apologized, my face getting more crimson by the minute. "Forget it." There was uncomfortable silence for a moment, then he spoke in monotone. "You like my half-brother, don't you, Higurashi?" he asked, glancing at the back of the person in front. "Nani?" I cried, out of pure shock. Sure, I DID, but not anymore. Or at least I was under the illusion I did. I like to think that I was possessed for a certain period of time, leading me to think that I like Inuyasha when it's so obviously Sesshomaru that my heart is devoted to. DUH.

"You like Inuyasha." He repeated, with a hint of annoyance. "No, I don't!" I half-shrieked, causing the person's head, which Sesshomaru was staring at, turn itself just so it could catch a glimpse of the psychotic girl whose face is so red it resembles an alcohol-filled thermometer ready to burst. "Calm down," Sesshomaru muttered. "It was just a question." I rolled my eyes. "Right," I yelled, "It's just a question! If you even had a CLUE how much I liked you, then maybe you wouldn't have said that!" I fumed for a minute or two, then looked at Sesshomaru triumphantly. He had this weird expression on his face, sort of a cross between surprise and trying hard to suppress his surprise. It was then that it hit me.

"If you even had CLUE how much I liked you, then maybe you wouldn't have said that!"

Oh, kami… I just confessed subconsciously that I liked him! And in front of the whole bus too! Now my face was permanently red. "Sorry," I whispered hoarsely due to public humiliation. Sesshomaru went back to his usual bored self and turned away. "You like me," he stated with a smirk. I glared at him. "Right, as if that's some kind of new revelation or something. You probably suspected it a long while ago, and only bothered to think of me as just another fan girl. Is that it?" I demanded, giving him an accusing stare. Sesshomaru kept quiet, still admiring the view outside the window. "Well, if so, then why would you bother to reiterate what I've just said? That I like you?" I asked. "I was just shocked, jeez," muttered Sesshomaru. "And why would you be shocked?" I inquired. "BECAUSE I thought you liked my retard of a half-sibling! The end! Are you done yet?" he asked irritably. "Yeah, I'm done." I told him. Then a question popped into my head. "But everyone knows that Inuyasha has Kikyou, so why would you ask me if I liked him?" Sesshomaru remained stonily silent, and I took that as a sign that the conversation had officially ended.

The bus squealed as it reached my stop, and I scrambled off, not wanting any more conflict between both Sesshomaru and I. Imagine… I had just ruined my chances of EVER getting Sesshomaru to like me. I mean, he actually noticed me and even asked me – um, was it two? - Questions! I was even beginning to think that he didn't mind having me around! But I guess it was all over. With a sigh, I stepped down from the bus and stood there with my back turned for a moment, waiting for the bus to leave. As I heard the familiar sound of it driving away, there was something else. A voice. And it said…

"Stop blocking the way, Higurashi. I have to get home on time."

Yay! Finally done! Can't wait for the next chapter… full of Kagome/ Sesshomaru scenes!
