Sorry it took so long to put this chapter up, FanFiction wouldn't let me post for some reason so sorry! Now on with the story! Oh…

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha…hey a girl can dream can't she?

A Particular Picture

Monday found me on my normal route to the shower, kitchen, waking everyone up and heading out to the car. As we reached the school, I saw Sango waiting at the school gates. She walked over to me as I got out.

"We need to talk." She stared at me and I gulped. 'About what?' I wondered.

She pulled me inside and I allowed myself to be pulled. We reached the bulletin board and I saw a small crowd around it. Sango shoved her way to the front and everyone was staring at me.

On the board was a picture of me.

And Inu Yasha.

I gaped at the photo. It was the other night when he had pulled me into the tree with me in my undies and tank top. I felt my face flush as I realized it was taken at the moment that he was handing me his shirt and my shirt strap had fallen off.

Sango turned to me with flames in her eyes.

"Sooo…."

I opened my mouth and shut it so many times that I looked like a fish. At the point that I was going to say some lie that I wasn't even sure of, Inu Yasha walked up. He took one look at the picture and turned to me with a smile on his face.

Oh. Crap.

"Looks like the gigs up." He chirped. The crowd gaped at us, as did Sango. He hooked his arm around me and pulled me close.

"See," he told the crowd at large, "Me and Kags," 'KAGS!'­ I screamed in my head, "have been friends since, like, forever and we had a bit of a falling out and I went over one night and made it all better." He sounded like he was talking to a three year old.

"Ye-Yeah!" I put in and rapped my arm around his waist to prove my point. As the crowd dispersed, I ground my heel into Inu Yasha's foot. I saw him grind his teeth together to bite back a growl. After the last person turned the corner, I turned on him.

"Kags?"

"What, friends don't have pet names?"

"Could have been better, my grandfather calls me that, and I hate it!"

"Could have told me sooner!"

"Never asked did ya!"

"Well, now you know!" I had run out of retorts. I huffed and turned away to see Miroku coming down the hallway.

"Miroku!" I called at him; he stopped and looked like a bloodthirsty monster wasstaring at him.

"Did you know what dog boy was planning on doing for the picture here?" He gulped and slowly nodded his head. I narrowed my eyes and he ran.

"Dog-Boy?" A vein was popping out in Inu Yasha's forehead. I smiled evilly as I mimicked him.

"What, friends can't have pet names?"

"Fine Kags."

"Fine Dog-Boy."

--------------------------------------

Lunch was hell. Almost every singlesingle girl(meaning all the girls that wheren't dating) crowded at my table to ask about Inu Yasha.

"Why did he die his hair silver?"

"Why does he ware a bandana?"

"Does he ware contacts or are his eyes natural?" I kept a mental catalog on what I was saying to tell Inu Yasha later so the story stayed the same.

"He didn't die his hair, it's a rare gene in his family that keeps his hair like that."

"He has a bad scalp problem and can't be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time."

"He wares contacts."

By the end of lunch, I hadn't eaten or answered half the questions. I decided to skip the next hour and go eat. I checked both ways before dashing under a tree on the edge the property. I sighed and pulled out my lunch. I pulled out the apple and went to bite it but bit my hand.

"Ow."

"Thanks." Munching on my apple, Inu Yasha jumped down from the tree and sat down beside him.

"Ow, that hurt you jerk. Look what you did." I growled as I shoved my hand in his face.

He stared at my hand where there were teeth marks on my index finger. He pulled my hand toward and placed a small kiss on the injured finger. His lips moved to my wrist and kissed all the way to my elbow then stopped at smirked at me. My face was a bright red by this point.

"Feel better?" He asked, his face so close to mine I could feel his breath on my cheek.

I smashed his face into the dirt and went back to eating.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" He roared as he spit out dirt.

"For stealing my apple and that little trick you just pulled to get out of it. Well sorry, but it won't work. No sir." I crossed my arms and turned away from him.

I peeked at him and saw him slightly hurt. Hurt?

I turned back and the look had evaporated.

"So what shit did you come up with to answer the girls at lunch?" he asked as a sideways question. I retold all the answers that I had told the girls at lunch.

"Great, now I'm a sick person with multiple maladies." He whined. (Hehe, now he's like Kagome in the real series)

"Well," she gave him a sideways glance, "if you had told me…"

"Shut up." He grumbled and finished my apple.

We sat in comfortable silence until the bell rang and I picked up my garbage and threw it away and we headed back to class together.
