Inuyasha grumbled, throwing the hoodie at Taro as he entered the door. "God damnnit I'm tired of carrying that stupid thing around. It smells really bad, Taro!"
Taro sat up, confused. He glanced at the hoodie then back at Inuyasha. "I told you to give it to Kagome… I really don't need anything that reminds me of her." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Keh" Inuyasha smirked and started to mock him in a baby voice. "Aww does little Taro miss his little Kagome?"
Taro chuckled. "As if… no, I just don't want Saiyuki to get suspicious…" He muttered.
"Saiyuki?" Inuyasha asked plopping down in a chair across from Taro.
"Yea… that new girl. The really hot one with the light brown hair." He smiled. "She sooo wants me. I'm asking her out tomorrow." He said chuckling.
Inuyasha lost his smile and gave Taro a bit of a serious face. "Didn't you just break up with Kagome, though?" He asked.
"Well… yea. What's your point?" He asked shrugging.
"Well… isn't it a little soon?" Inuyasha asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's never too soon when you're dealing with rebounds." Taro muttered, grabbing for the remote.
"Rebounds?" Inuyasha questioned.
"Yea. Kagome was a rebound for Yuri… Saiyuki is a rebound from Kagome…" He smiled at his cleverness. "It's how the cycle flows, my friend."
Inuyasha grumbled a little.
"I don't get how you're still single, Yash. I mean… you've got to be one of the best looking half demons in the whole school, right?" Taro asked.
"I don't know." Inuyasha muttered, feeling a little upset with how Taro was speaking.
"If I can land two babes and one weird chick… why can't you at least land a semi-hot babe?" Taro asked with his cocky attitude. Inuyasha scoffed.
"Maybe I'm just not as conceited as you." He said standing up.
"It's not such a bad quality, you know?" Taro said as Inuyasha left.
"Prick…" Inuyasha muttered, leaving Taro's house.

"Oh, Inuyasha… glad to see you've made it home." Inuyasha was greeted by his older brother, Sesshoumaru at the door.
Inuyasha muttered something under his breath and headed up the stairs to his room.
"Oh, Inuyasha… wait please." Sesshoumaru called out holding up a white envelope.
"What?" Inuyasha asked examining the envelope from the top of the stairwell.
Sesshoumaru slid a finger across the seal, opening the envelope carefully. "I believe your report card came in…" He smirked. "Your GPA is a 2.0" He said slowly.
"Why would I care? You've got more money than anyone else… you can afford to send me to Todai!"
"On the contrary… they do not accept 2.0s." Sesshoumaru sneered.
Inuyasha sighed and slumped his shoulders. "Well it's senior year… you expect me to raise it in 9 months faster than I have in three years?"
"Get a tutor…" Sesshoumaru suggested.
"I don't need one!" Inuyasha spat.
"Not if you don't want to go to Todai." Sesshoumaru said as Inuyasha slammed his door shut.
"God… fuck!" He looked all across his room. In the past three years what had he accomplished? He'd had one girlfriend… never made higher than a C in a class… didn't participate in any extracurricular activities.
He'd blown the past three years with his stupid arrogant, ass hole best friend… doing nothing but falling behind.
Now he had to swallow his pride and ask for help from some one? This was rich. The unfortunate thing was that the smartest person he had befriended was Taro… and he was a total dumbass.
Inuyasha growled, sliding his hand down his face. He grabbed his yearbook and dug through to find anyone he knew involved in NHS or Band or something.
Then he saw it… Kagome sitting in the front row of the National Honor Society picture. He huffed and slouched down, glancing at his phone, then back at the picture.
He sighed and picked it up, dialed a number and waited for the person on the other end to pick up.
"Hey, Taro… do you still have Kagome's number?"

A/N: Talk about swallowing your pride… ouch. Heh. Anyway hope you've enjoyed these first two chapters. Will Kagome agree to help him? Will she turn him down? Who was this 'only girlfriend'? And where the hell are Sango and Miroku? All this and more will be answered in the chapters to come of… 'Stay'.
Enjoy
