All right! I know I said I would do this Friday, and believe me, I tried, but it was my dad's birthday and then I pretty much worked on the yard the whole rest of the day. Then I went caving all day Saturday, and today I worked on the huge mountain that is my homework. But, diligent and caring writer that I am, I am determined to update THIS WEEKEND and am therefore slaving away, at ten o' clock at night, for you: my wonderful readers!

Disclaimer: Wonders upon wonders, I still do not own InuYasha.

Chapter 7: Friction

InuYasha yawned as he walked into the kitchen. No one else was up yet, so he sauntered over to the cupboard and grabbed a bowl and some cereal. He sat down at the hard wood table and began to munch, tapping his foot every now and then in impatience. He still could barely get over what had happened yesterday. It was just his luck that he would have to share a house with that annoying little vicious wench. Although… InuYasha pondered, there are some up sides to this arrangement. He glanced at the clock.

"Jeez," he mumbled, brushing his long black hair out of his face, "is that bitch ever going to get up?" As if on cue, he heard an alarm clock go off, soon followed by a muffled groan. For a few seconds, all was silent, and InuYasha held his breath. Any second now…any minute…

"INUYAAAAAASHAAAAAAAAAA!"

Bingo.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kagome stood sitting in her bed, staring at the mayhem around her. Her hair was full of some black sticky stuff, honey was dripped all over her bed, mixed in with shaving cream, her clothes were thrown everywhere, and when Kagome looked in the mirror, she saw that he had drawn cat whiskers and a nose on her face, and she had a hunch that they weren't going to come of easily. She growled and rolled out of bed, stomped down into the hallway and then turned into the kitchen, where she found InuYasha sitting at the table, eating his cereal and looking at her with the most innocent expression that she had ever seen. This of course, did not fool Kagome.

"You…you!" Kagome sputtered. InuYasha simply looked at her with mild amusement.

"My, you are so literate in the morning, aren't you?" he said, smirking. Kagome stormed up to him.

"I can't believe you trashed my room! I mean, what are you? Four years old? You are SO immature! Do you know how long it is going to take to get this goo out of my hair?" Kagome stared down at him, livid, while he stared back for a second, before he burst out laughing. Kagome glared daggers, before turning around and storming away, and almost crashed right into Kouga and Miroku who were just coming into the kitchen. When they saw Kagome, they stopped for a second and their mouths dropped open. Then they both burst into laughter, clutching their sides as they doubled over. Kagome looked like she was about to kill, but instead just pushed past them, grumbling about insane men, and stupid pranks.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kagome had finally gotten all of the black goo out of her hair, the marker off her face, and had put all of her sheets in the laundry. She would have to organize the clothes later, because she was already going to be late to school. Kagome rushed out of her room, grabbed her backpack, a piece of toast, then ran outside to walk to school, only to fine Kouga waiting and leaning against his car.

"Oh! Hi Kouga." Kagome said, greeting him happily. Kouga smiled back, flashing his teeth handsomely.

"I was just wondering if I could give you a ride…you know, so you don't have to walk" he said, his grin becoming a little nervous. Kagome almost laughed out loud. He looked so cute, like a little boy!

"Thanks Kouga! I would love to get a ride to school." Kouga relaxed visibly, and his smile once again became that killer grin. He held the door open for Kagome, hopped into the driver's seat, and they were off to school. Kagome laughed and joked with Kouga, grateful that she had a friend she could talk with this morning, to keep her mind off that stupid jerk InuYasha, but as they neared the school grounds, it seemed that fate was having fun making her life miserable, because right at the entrance to the school sat InuYasha…and he seemed to be attached to a very beautiful…and passionate Kikyo. Kagome growled then looked away. He really did deserve whatever he got! And she was just the person to give it to him…

Kouga parked the car and carried Kagome's bags as they walked up to the school. Kagome became more and more annoyed as the came closer to the entrance to the school, and stared strait ahead as they passed InuYasha and Kikyo, but couldn't help but glance back just as they were entering the school…only to find InuYasha looking watching her walk away. The whole world stopped for a second, as his deep purple eyes bored into her own. InuYasha seemed to shake himself, then resumed making out –even more rigorously Kagome noted- with Kikyo. Kagome herself seemed to snap out of a trance, and sent him a death glare. She turned and continued into the building, her good mood that had started this morning was officially ruined.

Alright! I know this one still isn't very long, but I really want to get to bed, so that's going to be all for now folks! Hope you like it, and I know this chapter wasn't that exciting, and there wasn't really any fluff at all, but just you wait…(cackles evilly).
