He watched her walk away, the sway of her hips mesmerizing. Back and forth, back and forth, like a vision he couldn't, wouldn't look away from. The corners of his mouth turned up, a toothy smirk on his face when Kagome's suitor walked past him, angry and alone. He felt triumphant knowing she had walked beside him, but had walked away from that jackass.

'Keh, so she wasn't into these type of guys.'

And for a moment, one perfect fucking moment, he felt a sense of peace.

And just like that, it disappeared.

'So what kind of guy did she like?' Not that it mattered. Not that he gave a flying fuck who the wench dated, who she brought to her bed.

Brought to her bed.

Sex.

And just like that, he spiraled down the rabbit hole, his sanity going with him.

'Was she a virgin? Of course she wasn't. That means she slept with someone. Who the fuck has she slept with? Was it one night stands? A boy friend? Who the fuck were her boyfriends?'

Of course, if he had bothered to show up to any of the shrine events or the random visits when his mother was alive, or even the less frequent ones when Myoga would beg him to go, he would have known the going on in her life. Who the twerp she got her first kiss was, what her high school boyfriends looked like. Maybe if he had shown up he would have realized that she didn't fucking reek, but had one of the most mouth-watering, desire straight to his dick scents he had ever come across. Maybe it would've been him to take her firsts, him touch her body, awakening desire instead of- of-

Of the mystery man- or men- shadow figures he couldn't begin to conjure because it made him feel physically sick.

Bullshit.

Clenching his right hand into a fist, he gave himself one, two punches to the gut.

What in the fucking hell was wrong with him?

Sure, it earned him a few stares from the strangers on campus, but at least he wasn't thinking about Kagome's body being taken by unknown men.

FUCK! He did it again. It was like his mind was going in circles. Kagome, Kagome, Kagome. Ever since he had seen her at the party, ever since he got wind of her scent she had creeped into every corner of his mind, taking over and making herself at home.

He needed a distraction, needed an outlet for his lust. Raking a clawed hand through his short hair he set out with determination in his step. He'd find a girl who looked like her, one who smelled like her and another that was her total opposite.

He walked down the path, the same one she had strutted down just moments earlier, ready to erase Kagome from his mind.

At least for the night.

~.~

It didn't work.

He fucked a woman who had hair like Kagome, luscious and full, inky black with a slight wave. All he thought about was the sounds Kagome would make if he gripped the back of her head, giving the thick strands a slight tug, enough to make her moan in desire.

He found a woman who had a figure similar to hers; large breasts, round hips and succulent ass. Not as good as Kagome's. Not nearly as good. As he ran his claws down the woman's side, dipping down to the apex of her thighs, his mind was brought back to how glorious Kagome's looked in that short skirt of hers, how creamy and smooth her skin looked, how his hands ached to touch her.

And then there was the blonde one, with the full lips and green eyes. She looked nothing like the wench. So he closed his eyes and pictured Kagome under him as he thrusted his cock in and out of the stranger, imagined the pants and sighs belonging to the girl who was driving him mad.

Currently he was in someone room-he had no idea who- lying in her bed, sheets tangled around him as he watched the ceiling fan make its rounds. He was unsatisfied, and he had no idea why.

Why was it that Kagome continued to plague him? He wondered what she was doing, where she was, who she was with. 'Who was she with?!' Inuyasha felt a growl rise in his chest, anger at an imaginary suitor, at himself for fucking caring.

Want her.

He felt his youkai stir somewhere deep within him. He tried to push it down, deep, deep fucking down. So what if he wanted her? So what if his cock stirred at just the mere thought of her name. It didn't mean he had to act on his carnal desires. Hell, it was scary the way her scent sang to him.

Deciding that he was going to put the wench out of his mind once and for all, he rolled to his side, draping an arm over the warm body next to him. She sighed, scooting closer to him; His bedmate was pretty- a brunette with nice curves. This is what he should be doing- focusing on round 2 with this bombshell. Leaning in he gave her slender neck a nip, her hand flying up to playfully shoo him away. The hanyou began to pepper kisses on pale skin causing the woman to giggle. Two silver ears swiveled to the night stand as his cellphone dinged, alerting him to a new message. Inuyasha propped himself on his elbow and reached over to retrieve his device, every intention of silencing it so he could better enjoy his company.

The dog demon felt a pit in his stomach as Kagome's number popped onto the screen. His throat suddenly dry, Inuyasha tried to swallow down his sudden nervousness.

Kagome: Wanna meet up tomorrow to work on the project?

Inuyasha knit his brows together. That was it?

That was IT?! He quickly responded.

Inuyasha: Don't you have anything better to do than homework? He swiftly typed. One quick reply, one quick insult. That should end it.

The instant ding seemed to go down his spine. The woman by his side pulled lightly on his arm, demanding his attention. Annoying. Rolling his eyes at the womans neediness, he glanced down at his phone, the reply causing him to sit upright.

Kagome: I'll make it worth your while!

Worth your while.

What the fuck did that mean?!

He could feel his heart rate increase, the sound of each heavy beat in his ears.

Inuyasha: Oh?

He was sitting up now, fully engaged in his conversation, his bedmate forgotten by his side. "Inuyasha…" She purred, trying to regain his attention. He did his best to bite his tongue. This bitch was like an annoying gnat. The only thing he cared about was how Kagome-

A picture.

She had sent him a picture. He tapped on the image, waiting for it to load. Every second that passed felt like an eternity.

Was she sending him pictures of herself? Maybe her hand dipped into her panties, her full bottom lip pouting for him, inviting him to-

Ice cream.

She had sent him a fucking picture of goddamned ice cream.

Kagome: I went today and picked up ice cream! I even got a flavor you liked! : ) Come over and let's get the first phase dooooone.

The hanyou felt his eye twitch as he tried to calm his nerves. She was tempting him… with ice cream. Looking down at the image he felt annoyed he had let his imagination get the better of him. As he replied he felt the corners of his mouth tug up into a smile.

She was talking to him.

Inuyasha: Trying to bribe me, wench?

"If youre going to ignore me then just leave." The brunette said. Inuyasha waved her away as he untangled from the sheets, light footsteps on the floor as he sought out his clothing. He had his phone glued to his hand the whole time. He wanted the conversation to continue, needed it to.

And he wasn't even sure why.

~.~

Kagome had no idea what she was doing. Lying in bed, her pink comforter pulled up around her to keep her cold from the night air as she texted the boy who used to torment her every chance he got.

And she liked it.

She actually liked talking to him. When he wasn't insulting her or telling her how badly she smelled he was quiet witty.

She needed to get this craziness out of her head, needed to get the image of him of her head. Sure, he was annoying and every time he opened his mouth some foul insult came out… but Gods did he look good saying it. Typing a quick reply, she shut down the conversation, hoping to dampen the giddy feelings she felt in her stomach.

Kagome: Go to sleep, dog-boy. She texted. Kagome closed her eyes, secretly regretting her decision. Why did she feel so uncomfortable letting it end there? Why was it that no matter where she went Inuyasha somehow seemed to be there. When she had seen him today, standing in the square as she marched past him, he looked like a freaking God with his tanned skin, his amber eyes, his white shirt that seemed to hug every inch of his defined chest. At that moment he was the very last person she had wanted to see.

As she walked with him, she felt better, relieved; almost happy. Kagome couldn't make head or tails of it. She walked off and he was left in her wake.

For some reason, it wasn't enough for her. She found herself thinking of him, of the way he looked, the crooked smile he wore. He was so different from the brat who used to show up at her house, pushing her down in the dirt.

Gods, she wouldn't mind if her pushed her down now.

She was fighting an attraction to him, and losing steadily. Kagome closed her eyes as she pictured him once more, his silver hair gleaming in the sun. The small vibration from her phone caused her to snap open her eyes, an anxious feeling in her chest. It was him. She was excited and she shouldn't be- but she couldn't help it.

Inuyasha: Night, wench. See ya tomorrow.

Kagome smiled.

She would see him tomorrow.
