Hey dudettes (I dunno if any of you are dudes, so, oops!), I got a bunch of reviews right away, so I couldn't resist posting another chapter. I usually wait a week, but what the hell?? I've been working diligently on this story, so hopefully I can finish it soon and then post chapters at my leisure...ahh, now that's living...

Deds:

INU - sarah - Thank god yer not cobwebby, thats just terrible! Nobody likes cobwebs, they're so messy! I hope you don't find it necessary to make soup out of me, I can't work if I'm a soupdish!! By the way, I hate spiders, too. Is there a name for bee phobia?? They really freak me out!!

MyInuYashaObsession - I hope this keeps you reading, cuz now I'm wondering if my story's boring. I hope it's not! I'm trying to follow the Grease movies here, but without copying everything that happens in them (different events, and whatnot), so I hope you don't lose interest, cuz I can't wait to write a lemon for this story, which I've yet to get to, but maybe it won't happen, I dunno. My next story should be lemony... yes, sounds good...

DarkPrincess - Adidas - You know what, I forgot all about that! I think he just wants to be accepted, not become a demon. Did I write that in my summary?? I should check, I may have to change that. Sessy's mean, but don't worry, he'll get better! Rin may just be changing his cold heart, lol!

mousymousyboing - I hope I can meet your expectations! But Grease is so fun to work with, and I just finished writing an intense scene last night (complications ahead, Captain!!) so hopefully it turns out alright!

Inuyasha: Grease'd

Inuyasha hung his head as he walked home, instead of taking the bus. The last thing he wanted right now was to talk to anyone.

After lunch he'd had Latin, and Kagome had walked in, beautiful and care-free, and had actually taken the seat right next to him. He couldn't believe his luck! His dream girl was right next to him and-

Suddenly the bubble burst as Kagome's boyfriend, Houjo, sat in front of her and started to suck her face off again. Disgruntled and extremely jealous, he'd buried his face in his textbook, Latin being one of his easier subjects.

Kagome spent the majority of her time doodling in her binder while their teacher droned on and on about Rome and the ancients and how they would be taking a trip to Italy this year. Inuyasha thought that sounded like a lot of fun, and peeked at Kagome for her reaction, but she just looked bored, her hand propping up her chin as she pretended to listen to Houjo try to help her with her Latin crossword.

Inuyasha was beginning to think he'd shoot himself before the school-year was over. These two were so wrong for each other even he noticed. Houjo just spoke as if she were listening and she just nodded to make it appear that she was. He'd never seen two people as bored with each other as they were, though occasionally Kagome's eyes would light up when he suggested going out with friends or partying.

By the time class was over he was suppressing a major urge to rescue her from her predicament, and make her his girlfriend, but she hadn't paid any attention to him whatsoever besides giving him a friendly smile and asking him if the seat next to him was taken.

He opened the front door to his house, a large white colonial in the rich section of town. Their Father had owned this house for as long as he could remember, but they'd only just moved here permanently; their old house had accidentally burned down because Inuyasha was trying to make brownies.

He slammed the door behind him and the family butler, Jaken, materialised out of nowhere, his hands folded behind his back as he waited patiently for Inuyasha to kick off his sneakers. When he was rid of his offensive-smelling shoes Jaken said, "Master, The Lord wishes to see you."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Great. His Lord wanted to speak to him. As if this day didn't suck enough already.

Inuyasha trudged up the grand staircase, flinging his bag into his room as he passed it on the way to his Father's study, Jaken leading the way.

When he arrived, Sesshoumaru sat in one of the plush leather chairs, in front of the big mahogany desk. His father's own chair was facing the window, his back to them both. Jaken closed the doors and stood silently to the side, awaiting his next orders.

"So, boys, how was school?"

Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha, his eyes narrowed to slits. Inuyasha smiled evilly.

"Well?" Their father spun the chair around, his crisp black suit and white tie spotlessly clean despite the heat of the day. Inuyasha spoke up. "Sessh-"

He halted mid-sentence as Sesshoumaru kicked him viciously. He glared and rubbed his shin, tears pricking his eyes.

"It was just fine, Father. Will that be all?" Sesshoumaru drummed his claws on the arm of the chair, clearly impatient.

"For now." He sighed. Why were these two so antagonistic toward each other? Even as children they'd mercilessly chewed at each other, feeding off the other's embarrassment and misery. He almost couldn't believe they were his sons.

Taisho Takahashi was an old man compared to his sons; at the age of three millennia, he looked no older than forty. He was a strapping man, almost too big for his own clothes. He had a purple stripe on each cheek, and had Sesshoumaru ever put his hair into a top-knot the two could be mistaken for twins. Inuyasha looked more like his mother, having inherited only his white hair and golden eyes from his father, and his temperament. Sesshoumaru was much like his own mother; very reserved, very distant, and so cold he made ice look hot.

He watched them both leave the room, Jaken opening the door for them and then closing it after they'd gone. Taisho shook his head in frustration.

"Give them time sir," Jaken advised, his hands clasped behind his back as usual. "The teen years are awkward, as I recall."

Taisho snorted mirthfully and smiled in spite of himself. "Yes, they are."

Inu G'd

Inuyasha sat in the bay window in his room, the glass panes thrown open and a hot breeze shifting his hair as he filled out the info sheet for the school records. It was pointless but he did it anyway.

Sesshoumaru backed out the drive below and squealed away in his yellow Mustang, a brand new '73. He sighed. His corvette was still impounded from when he'd gotten caught speeding last. His father was making him earn the money to get it out himself. What a drag. At this rate it would take ten years to get his beloved red 'Ray back.

He yanked up his jeans and put on a red t-shirt; it was time to explore the town. With any luck he'd run into Kagome - without Houjo.

Kagome had skipped out on meeting Kikyou's new boyfriend, Naraku Onigumo, for a reason, and she suddenly remembered why as the two pulled into the drive-in and waved her over to take their order.

Naraku's black GTO roared as he revved the engine when she was close enough to hear them. Skating to Kikyou's window, a draft flying up her short pink work skirt, she smiled and asked, "What'll you have?"

"A side of you," Naraku remarked in a deep, velvet voice. Kagome felt the reflex to gag almost overwhelm her. Kikyou glared moodily at him and asked, totally ignoring Kagome's question, "Where did you go? You were supposed to come meet him after school."

"Sorry. I forgot I had to work." She ignored her mother momentarily as she waved at her; another order was ready. "I gotta run, we're short on waitresses tonight, but I'll be back."

She skated away, and Naraku took the time to appreciate her…finer qualities. That skirt was short enough to cover almost nothing. Kikyou stared at him, then cleared her throat. "What are you staring at?"

"That chick's ass, you got a problem with that?"

Kikyou smiled her sexy grin and leaned toward him, shifting the GTO into park and murmuring, "Yeah, I do. Believe me, I'm much better than her. She's still a virgin, you know. Not at all what you're looking for."

Naraku sat back and let Kikyou do what she pleased, but he continued to undress that Kagome girl in his mind.

Inuyasha strolled up the street, and spotted a burger joint on the corner, near where the residential middle-class citizens of Tokyo lived; there were apartments next to semi's next to small houses, all lumped together.

The strains of Mungo Jerry's song In The Summertime could be heard above the din of the traffic, and as the drive-in came into view he smiled.

There she was.

Kagome leaned on the stainless steel counter that ringed the building, reading her order to her mother, who nodded and closed the screen to keep the flies out. He watched her skate away, her short skirt swaying with each graceful movement of her legs, her tray and notepad tucked under her arm, her pen behind her ear.

He sat down at one of the empty picnic tables and just watched her work, moving from one car to another, taking orders back and forth and laughing and smiling as she did. Pulling out a cigarette from his shirt pocket, he dug around for his silver lighter and lit the white end, drawing a long drag and blowing it out through his nose. Now the moment was perfect. All it needed was… her.

Kagome had seen him there only a few minutes earlier, and, asking the one other girl waitressing, Koharu, if she'd served him, Koharu shaking her head in the negative, her arms full of food, Kagome had skated over and, rolling to a stop, propped her foot up on the seat next to the one he was sitting in and grinned. "You want anything to eat, honey?"

His heart skipped a beat at the endearment, but he looked up at her from under his bangs and to his delight saw recognition dawn in her eyes. "I know you! You sit next to me in… in…" she furrowed her brow, trying to remember.

He raised a brow. "Latin?"

"That's it!" she snapped her fingers. Flipping her long hair over her shoulder, she asked, "Are you that new guy? I've never seen you around town before."

He nodded. "Yeah, I'm-"

"Sesshoumaru Takahashi?" she interrupted, trying to guess his name before he could tell her. Her friends had been drooling over him so much during their conversation at lunch she almost felt cheated, for she still hadn't seen him, and now, here he was, sitting at her mother's drive-in!

They were right, she thought speculatively, he's pretty cute!

He looked away in disappointment. Sesshoumaru didn't even have to be present to show him up anymore. That asshole.

She saw this and hesitated. "You're not him, are you?"

He sighed slightly and suddenly she felt bad. People often mistook her for Kikyou, and she hated it. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted you. What were you going to say?"

He debated whether or not he should take her proffered olive branch after that blunder but, staring into her kind eyes, he once again felt his heart contract and knew he couldn't possibly stay mad at her, especially for something so minor. "Inuyasha Takahashi."

He stuck out his hand, and she slipped hers into it, but a strange look had come over her face. He soon found out why.

"Are you two brothers? I never even heard a word about you today. Why is that?"

Now he really felt like running. Taking a deep breath, he decided to just suck it up and tell her. But, before he could open his mouth, a feminine voice shouted, "Inuyasha! Over here!!"

He looked toward the sound, and, sitting three tables away, he spied Kagura and her motley crew of misfits all smiling at him.

"Ah, that's why." She said gently, understanding dawning on her as she too took in the sight three tables away. "If you want to join your friends, I'll take your orders." And then she skated away, leaving him standing there slack-jawed with an awful urge to cry.

She knows now, he thought, walking dejectedly to the table and plopping himself down next to Shiori, who smiled at him sympathetically. She probably doesn't want to associate herself with half-breeds, either.

Kagura finished painting her fingernails and asked, "So? How'd it go?"

He snorted, angrily flicking his half-finished cigarette away. "How'd what go? She hates me."

Kagura smiled. "No, she doesn't. She just hasn't gotten to know you yet."

He jammed his hands in his pockets and pressed his chin to his chest. "She just met me, and I can tell already that she doesn't want to know me. Are you guys sure you know what you're doing?"

Kagura smiled confidently, twisting the lid to her polish bottle shut tightly. "She will, Inuyasha. Just you wait and see. Now, she thinks you're an outcast, half-breed freak of nature-"

"Which I am."

"-but that's not what she'll think when she meets the other you."

Inuyasha looked at her askance, wondering if she were crazy. "The other me? What are you talking about?"

Kagura giggled, and suddenly he felt like he was about to become an experiment. "Oh, don't look so scared. We're not going to kill you!"

He propped his foot up on the table, but right then Kagome came back to take their orders, giving him her usual friendly smile but nothing more.

When she was gone he said, "See? She hates me." Kagura shook her head.

Kanna spoke up, "No, Inuyasha, she really doesn't. She doesn't know the meaning of the word hate. She may distance herself, but you'll find that she just can't be mean to people. It's just not in her nature."

Shiori spoke up, "It's true. Last year, Kikyou tried to beat me up for accidentally taking her spot in class, and Kagome wouldn't let her touch me."

Inuyasha frowned. Was this true? Did it mean that he at least had a chance? "So, tell me. What do you mean when you say, other me?"

Kagura leaned forward, and smiled at him in such a confident manner that he felt his own fears dissipate, and an urge to let her handle everything.

"We are going to transform you," she began, falling silent when Kagome came back with their food, thanking her and waving goodbye as she left. "By day, at school, she'll know you as plain old Takahashi, but by night, when she's working, or hanging out… she's going to know a totally hot and completely different you."

He felt his doubts resurface. "How does that help me? I want her to want me for me, not for some guy I'm not."

"That's just the thing. When she sees the other you for the first time, she's going to knocked right out of those pink skates of hers. You've seen how bored she is with Houjo; she needs someone new, and you're the perfect man for the job."

He shook his head, thinking this scheme to be ludicrous. "That doesn't answer my question, Kagura."

"Look, Inuyasha. How bad do you want her to notice you?"

Before he could even think about it he replied, "More than anything."

She nodded. "Then, if you do this, and she becomes smitten, you'll get the girl, and have a whole new image. Does that sound like a bad plan to you?"

He thought about it. He supposed he was a bit loser-ish, all things considered. And the half-breed blood didn't help, either. Suddenly Kagura asked, "Your family's loaded, right?"

He raised a brow, not seeing the relevance to her question, but answering slowly, "Yeah…"

"Perfect. You got a nice car?"

His shoulders slumped. He knew that speeding ticket would cost him! "Yeah, but it's impounded at the moment, and the old man won't let me drive the others, not until I earn the money to pay my ticket and the impound fee, which he won't loan me any money for. It's going to take me a while to pay it off."

Kagura picked up her purse and opened it, pulling out a wad of cheques and a pen. "No problem. How much?"

Everyone's eyes flew open in surprise. Kagura never loaned anyone money. She would loan just about anything of hers save her money, of which she had plenty, since her family was also rich. No one knew though, because her brother, Naraku, had been out of high school even before she'd entered it, and she had kept her personal info obscure; no one knew much about her, and she didn't tell them, either.

Inuyasha sat forward in surprise. "What?"

Kagura tapped the pen impatiently. "How much?"

He stood up then, and said, "No way, you're not paying that for me. No."

She stared him down, and finally hissed, "You want her like nothing else right?"

Reluctantly he nodded.

"Then consider it a favour. How much? I won't ask you again."

He swallowed. "Five thousand."

Shippo fell off his chair and Shiori reached out to steady him, her hand over her heart. Kanna looked like someone had smacked her very hard on the back of the head, but Kagura filled in the amount and wrote his name without batting an eye. Honestly, she'd expected it to be more.

Ripping off the cheque from the rest she stood, dropping two hundred yen on their table, covering everyone's food and leaving a more than generous tip. "Let's go cash this. I'm feeling charitable today." Taking Inuyasha's hand, she beckoned for the others to follow her.

Leading them to a parking spot as far away from the burger joint as possible, she unlocked the doors of a white Lamborghini, the door almost cracking Inuyasha off the face when he stood too close. Shiori sighed, and Kanna blinked.

Shippo, speaking for the first time since Inuyasha's arrival in their group, remarked, "Kagura, why didn't you tell us?"

She shrugged, flopping into the driver's seat. "I didn't want to be conspicuous. A half-breed that draws attention to herself is just asking to have her baby vandalised." She lovingly ran her hand over the smooth dashboard, then barked, "What're you guys waiting for? Get in!"

Inuyasha pulled the seat forward to let Shippo, Shiori, and Kanna climb into the back seat, then he sat in the passenger seat, taking in the large box of eight-tracks on the floor and the shiny chrome finish of the dash and gauges.

"This is a beautiful car," he complimented her, twisting the air freshener that hung from the rear-view mirror so he could see it, a cut-out of Eric Estrada from cHIPS.

"I take good care of her," she smiled, and shifted into drive, while Inuyasha rolled down his window to let the breeze blow through his long white hair.

Pulling out of the parking lot, Kagura drove downtown, to the First Bank of Tokyo, to cash her five-thousand yen cheque. Handing him the money when she came back from the bank, she asked, "You're old man will restore your funds when you pay off this fee, right?"

He nodded.

"Then you can pay me back anytime you get the money. Now where is your car, Takahashi?"

Smiling, he pointed the way, and Kagura slipped an eight-track into the player, Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes blaring from the speakers and all the girls singing along as they drove to the outskirts of town to get Inuyasha's car.

Inu G'd

Okay, not much happening, but I promise, it gets better! Bear with me! I'm about to write the first scene in which Inu makes his appearance as his alter ego, so, yeah! Wish me luck, and don't forget to review!!
