"Jakotsu…"

He ignored her, simply turning away and drumming the tabletop with his fingers. He WOULD NOT talk to a girl.

"Hey, come on. At least respond by snorting? Don't you want to know something about Inuyasha?"

At this, Jakotsu immediately shifted to face Kagome, emanating an aura of eagerness. Still, he was hesitant about speaking to some lowly female. "What do you know about him?" he asked suspiciously, narrowing his eyes.

Kagome snorted. "More than you do, at least," she replied, " I was kind of with him for awhile."

Jakotsu could not have displayed more girlishness than at that moment, when he gasped in what Kagome supposed was envy and shock combined, and even bounced a little on his seat. She thanked God that it was free period, or else they both might have been sent out of the classroom. She didn't know why she was making such an effort to be his friend, but she figured that trying wouldn't hurt.

"Tell me everything," Jakotsu demanded .

"First of all, he's greedy. And he's kind of indecisive most of the time. Also, he-um- adores Kikyo. And uh… "

Jakotsu cut in rudely, hissing : "I meant tell me everything good about him, spastic female."

Kagome huffed. "Well, if I'm spastic, I'm not telling you anything anymore." She felt extremely childish, even sticking out her tongue at him, but it gave her a tiny sense of happiness.

He glared at her, and smacked her on the arm. "Don't be evil," he moaned, with a pout.

'Aww…' she thought, a smile creeping onto her face as she saw him adorably pouting. He was cute, in her opinion. She preferred him like this than if he were more macho.

"If I tell you everything, you HAVE to treat me to a burger," she teased.

Jakotsu thought about how he would probably detest himself in the future for saying yes, but then again he didn't even have any idea why he talked to her in the first place.

"Good," she said in a rather triumphant tone, and fell back on her chair.

Both of them would never have predicted it, but they were one step closer to becoming good friends – and maybe even more.

I love Jakotsu! Yeah! Actually, I realized my reviews aren't limited at all. So thanks guys! Because not many people would read a Jako x Gome fic, don't you think? So yup, just wanna say thanks.
