Yeah, I probably would have updated a little faster, but I went on vacation last week so I didn't have time to post this so sorry!! I totally have the rest of the story planned in my head and I just have to type it up! So I think there will be about 2 or 3 more chapters!

Enjoy!

A Lovely Mix Up

Chapter 10: Déjà vu and Closets

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha (sniff)... I said I wouldn't cry!

Recap

"Why am I so upset? This is what I wanted, right?" Kagome whispered as tears came to her eyes.

"Why do I care that he's gone? I can be with Hojo-kun now. Why am I crying?" She was sobbing now.

Maybe what she thought she wanted had overshadowed what she truly wanted.

"Oh my gosh." Kagome said, tears coming to a stop.

"I think I'm in love with him."

Now

Kagome woke up the next morning, with her eyes red and puffy from crying. She tried to convince her mother to let her stay home and "rest" (mope). Her mom obviously said no and forced her onto her bike, so she wouldn't be late for class.

'Gross, I didn't even have time to brush my hair this morning.' Kagome groaned as she put her bike on the bike rack. She took out a rubber band that had been in her backpack for who knows how long and tied her hair up into a high ponytail.

"Hey Kagome!" Kagome looked over her shoulder to see Sango jogging over to her.

"So what happened last night after I left? And where the hell is Taisho?" Sango asked her quizzically.

Kagome shrugged " Oh nothing much, Miroku gave me his phone number to give to you, I had to clean 500 dollars worth of dishes, and oh yeah Taisho-kun broke up with me!" she smiled with fake cheerfulness.

Sango gave her a sympathetic smile "Well that's good right? I mean, now you can ask out Akitoki."

"Oh yeah, I can't wait." Kagome said, thrusting her fist in the air sarcastically.

Sango looked like she was going to say something else, but she was abruptly cut off be the ringing of the 5 minute bell.

Kagome's eyes widened and she dug into her backpack to pull out a crumpled napkin.

"This is for you." Kagome said cheerfully and handed her Miroku's phone number. Sango took one look at it and she turned red from anger.

"Oh, hell no!"

Kagome winced at her tone and laughed nervously. "Oh, come on Sango, he's not really a bad guy once you get to know him."

"Yeah, kind of like InuYasha." Sango said pointedly before sprinting off to her first class. Kagome glared after her before becoming a little nervous. 'Did she realize I have feelings for him?'

The bell rang again and she realized that she was late for class, for the first time in her entire life.

"Crap."

"I'm sorry to do this Higurashi-san, but I can not accept tardiness in my classroom." Mr. Hiromi sighed and pointed towards the door. Kagome nodded and stepped out of the room to "think about her actions".

Kagome leaned against the wall and sighed.

"I wonder what my mom is going to say when she hears I've had to go out in the hall twice in less than two weeks…"

"Wow, twice? I'm impressed." A cocky voice sneered, the same voice that had said such kind words to her only the week before.

"Taisho-kun…" Kagome blushed and looked away from him. 'If I look at him, I'll jut end up embarrassing myself.'

There was silence for a moment and she opened her eyes to see if he had left, only to find him inches from her face.

"Why the hell you blushin' Higurashi?" InuYasha asked her smirking, causing Kagome to turn even redder in embarrassment.

"I-I'm not. It is just really warm out here." Kagome lied quickly.

InuYasha smirked again and thankfully stepped away, with his arms crossed, and had a little red tint to his cheeks?

"Keh. Whatever, Higurashi."

"Did… you get kicked out again?" Kagome asked him quietly, trying to make conversation.

"Keh, so what if I did? The runt had it coming. He thinks he's so awesome because he was moved up 4 grades, just because he's smart." InuYasha scoffed.

Kagome smiled a little. 'I wonder what he'd say if he found out that "little runt" was one of my brother's best friends.'

"Now what the hell are you smiling about?" Kagome's eyes widened as she remembered where she was.

"N-nothing!" Kagome denied. InuYasha gave her a quick look before shrugging and walking away.

"Taisho-kun, wait!"

He stopped and turned his head in her direction.

"What do you want, wench?" InuYasha groaned annoyed.

"I-I'm sorry about your parents…" Kagome whispered sympathetically.

"Keh. It wasn't your fault." He muttered icily before rounding the corner back towards gym.

Kagome watched him go in awe. 'Whoa, Déjà vu. I could have sworn he said the exact same thing yesterday, so why-" her thoughts were cut off by the bell ringing loudly above her head.

'Maybe, he doesn't even remember what happened between us…'

"Alright class, we will be having another school get together in three days, so I would like you all to take the rest of the time before then to make our lovely school look absolutely perfect!" Yamari-sensei explained to the class at the last period of the day.

All the classes were to participate and help with setting up the meeting. Kagome and Sango volunteered to help with the decorations, so when Yamato-sensei finished his little speech, Kagome left to go and grab all the decoration materials from the storage closet.

When she finally got to the closet, she heard a sound coming from inside. Kind of like a rustling sound… a BIG rustling sound.

"Eww! What if it's a rat or a giant snake?" Kagome whispered disgustedly.

She shook her head and opened the door a crack. She didn't see any rats or snakes, so she stepped into the small closed area.

"WAIT! DON'T LET THAT CLOSE!"

Kagome was shoved to the floor as a certain boy with silver hair reached in a feeble attempt towards the door trying to grasp the handle before it shut. The door banged shut right before he reached it.

"DAMN!" he cussed, turning his venomous gaze onto the girl who was now rubbing her sore butt.

"You…" he stated callously "Why did you let the door close, you stupid girl?!"

Kagome glared, though her heart fluttering, at her ex-boyfriend/Goth classmate. She stood up on shaking legs and pointed an accusing finger back at him.

"How the hell was I supposed to know the door was locked from the inside?! And don't call me stupid when obviously you didn't know that it was locked either seeing as you are now locked in here with me, alone… without anyone else…" Kagome trailed off blushing at the thought of them being alone together.

"Keh! I know what bein' alone means, wench." InuYasha replied quietly, revealing a hidden meaning to his words. He sighed and picked up a paint bottle to toss back and forth between his hands.

Kagome sat down softly and wrapped her arms around her knees, groaning at the now compromising position she was in.

'I am in a closet, alone, with InuYasha, a.k.a the boy I think I'm in love with, and the door is locked and we'll probably be in here for the rest of the day. Plus he has absolutely forgotten what happened between us last week… hasn't he?' she thought remembering what had happened only a couple of hours ago.

"Yo, wench!"

Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and glared at InuYasha angrily and somewhat saddened.

"It's Kagome, Ka-Go-Me." Kagome muttered quickly.

InuYasha somehow heard it and 'keh'd' once more.

"I know that, Ka-Go-Me, I just prefer to call ya what you are!" he laughed mockingly, but quickly stopped when he saw Kagome start to sniffle.

"Ack! Why the hell are you cryin' wench? I-I mean, Higurashi!" InuYasha corrected himself as he sat the paint bottle back on the shelf. He sighed when he saw her drop her head onto her knees and begin to blubber something incoherent.

"I can't speak whale." He groaned and couched down in front of the sobbing raven-haired mess, placing his calloused hands on her knees.

"Hey…" he whispered, Kagome to looked up and see his face only inches from her own, causing her to blush profusely.

"If we're gonna be here for rest of the day, we should probably try to get along right?" Kagome nodded.

"Alright then let's start off with something pretty easy. I hate it when girls cry so… KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!" InuYasha yelled, startling Kagome, who in turn knocked an opened bottle of blue paint onto the said boy's pretty silver hair.

There was silence for a moment, as the blue paint slipped down his pearly locks and onto his black combat boots.

"………"

"………"

"Heh heh…?" Kagome laughed nervously and tried to wipe off the paint, only succeeding to rub it in deeper.

InuYasha's eye was twitching and he looked like he was about to explode. He stood up and breathed calmly, trying to compose himself, while muttering a few curse words, before he opened his eyes and looked straight at the poor raven-haired specimen in front of him.

"I am so sorry, Taisho-kun! I didn't mean to do that I swear!"

He still looked furious.

"Uh- Um… this is actually your fault!" Kagome yelled pointing an accusing finger at his chest.

"How in the seven hells is this my fucking fault?" InuYasha argued. "You're the one who just knocked blue paint into my hair!"

Kagome cowered a bit at his tone, but shook it off and got up right in his face. "W-Well, if you hadn't yelled at me while I was in such a weak state, then maybe I wouldn't of been startled and then my elbow wouldn't have bumped the paint bottle onto your head!"

Kagome breathed heavily (both from yelling and being so close to you-know-who's face) and she glared before walking over to the door and trying pathetically to pull it open.

"Argh!" Kagome yelled in frustration before dropping to the floor, defeated.

Only leaving an angry tension in the air.

She looked up to see InuYasha on the opposite side of the closet using a small towel to try and wipe out the blue from his silver locks, only succeeding to spread it further.

Kagome giggled a little at his expense and walked over quietly. He finally noticed her when she took the cloth from his hand and ran it under a small faucet, used to wash paintbrushes.

"Uh, thanks…" InuYasha muttered softly before sitting down, waiting for her to return his cleaning instrument.

She smiled and began to scrub at the mess she had created. They sat in silence, only interrupted by InuYasha complaining if she rubbed to hard. Kagome finished and looked down at her handiwork, only to sweat drop and stare at the now blue tint in his once white hair.

"Kagome…"

She looked down confused as to why he called her name, only to be even more shocked when he placed his hand behind her head and brought her head down to his. They were only centimeters away when Kagome closed her eyes and-

"Hey you two! Stop making out, class is over! Go home already!"

Kagome jumped up quickly, her eyes wide and sporting a very prominent blush on her cheeks, as she stared at the white/blue haired boy in shock. He didn't meet her gaze and walked out of the closet like nothing had happened, without another word to the gaping girl.

"Come on, Higurashi I don't have all day…" stated the very annoyed janitor as she apologized before picking up the decorations that she had come to get in the first place.

She carried the very heavy box to the classroom with only one thought going through her mind.

'If the love potion has already worn off… then why did Taisho-kun just try to kiss me?!'

Yay! Almost fluff! Okay yeah I know you all wanted it to happen! But not yet! I need to make this last a couple more chapters! Almost done! We're getting to the good part!

Please review or I won't update quickly!
