Love Sucks.

Chapter 2. "Sweep me off my feat"

"Fuck," I said to myself as I made my way to the parking lot, and quickly found Inuyasha's car.

"Hurry up, I do not want get shit for being late," he yelled at me, and I deliberately slowed down. He groaned, ran over to me, and picked me up in his arms.

"Since when do you care what teachers say about you? And put me down, you ass," I ordered, and he only smiled.

"Easy on the words, sweetheart, I am your boyfriend."

"Yeah, only because you lied."

"Shut up."

A satisfied smile spread across my face.

"Make me."

I did not expect him to do what he did next. His lips pressed on mine, and he gave me such a kiss it almost took my breath away. Apparently, he decided not to go any further as he placed me on the front passenger seat, and sat down in the driver's seat. My heart could not stop beating, and yet I knew that if I showed just one sign of admiration towards him, I would lose completely. And I still had some pride left, thank you very much.

"Being a girlfriend does not include a job of being a slave."

"Pleas be quiet."

"What is your problem?" I asked him as we drove into the school parking lot, and stopped. Inuyasha glared at me.

"You are my problem."

"Than why the hell did you make that stupid bet?"

"Because I like to take care of my problems in a special way."

"So what, you are going to embarrass me in front of the whole school?" I puffed, and stared back at him.

"No. I have tickets for tomorrow's dance. Since we are together, those tickets are for you and me. Pick a nice dress," he replied as he got out of the car, walked around it and opened my door. I did not take his extended hand as I got out, slammed the car door as loud as I could, and was prepared to walk away when Inuyasha caught my arm.

"Not so fast, Yoko. We got to walk in hand in hand. We are together, remember?"

I put on my best I-so-do-not-hate-you act and let him lead me into the school building, ignoring all the whistles and stares. Inuyasha led me to my locker, kissed me on a cheek and walked of.

"So how is it going?" I heard Shuroi's voice behind my back, and turned toward her.

"I think I am going to throw up. He kissed me. In the forbidden spot for him on my face."

She giggled, and opened our locker. We shared absolutely everything, even some of our cloths. We were friends for three years straight, and loved it and made a best of the worst situations together. Like our parents. Did not I tell ya? My mom is in the prison, and my dad ran off with a hottie on a street. Now that bitch is making movies, and my mom gets to spend ten years thinking than my moron father is waiting for her with open arms. It's like famous cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead once said herself "Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents." Thank you, Dad, for giving me this hellish existence and breaking my mom's heart. She got fifteen years because she was bribed by my daddy and his new toy (who was the one to commit a murder) to be paid one million dollars, and they promised to look after me. And look where I am. Shelter home with a guardian for a real father. Tough shit, guys, tough shit.

Shuroi's parents were divorced, her mother died two years ago, and her father had a new life and did not need my girl in it. Can you think of the better situations? I can't. So we stick together.

"Hey, Shuroi," I heard a familiar voice behind my back, and turned to come face to face with Inuyasha's brother, Sesshoumaru. Shuroi's face turned red.

"Not now," she whispered. The guy looked at me, covered his mouth, and leaned his head towards my friend to give her a quick kiss just to disappear into the massive crowd in the hallway.

"Ok, explain," I demanded.

"There is nothing to explain," Shuroi replied, and before I could protest, she continued. "Me and Sesshoumaru have been together for the past three month, and so far, Inuyasha was the only one who knew."

"That-"

"Yoko, please keep your voice down!" my friend pleaded. "If anyone finds out that I am dating one of the popular guys in school, no matter what his status is, I am toast."

"But why?" that I did not understand.

"Yoko, are you even awake? Those type of guys are major girl magnets, and you do not want to discover what kind of things those whores would do if they found out that the 'lower class' girls as they call us, are dating the two major hot stars."

"But Inuyasha seems cool with it. He did not even say anything."

"That's because he is a moron. Sesshoumaru thinks about him in that way," she added an apology that I did not need.

"Well, there is something that I cannot argue with. So what I am to do now?"

"Talk to him, and kick some sense into the guy. If he wants you to become a roasted marshmallow in a week, then he better re-think that or I will kick his ass. And please do not tell anyone about me and Fluffy."

I smirked. "Nice nickname."

"Yeah, well, I like it."

"What does he think about it?"

"He says if she calls him that again, he will flash her down the drain," I heard Inuyasha say behind me. I felt his powerful arms wrap around my waist, and as soon as that happened, Shuroi glared at him.
"You are going to get her in a major trouble with the pussies, Inuyasha. Take your hands off."

"Relax, mom, who cares?"

Shuroi advanced on him, and her whisper because the one of the poisonous snake.

"They do. You are one of the kings of the school, and you know why Fluffy and me keep our relationship on the down level. So as long as a week lasts, behave."

"What if I do not want to?"

"Hey, this is me you two are talking about. And Inuyasha, get your hands off," I demanded, but he did not do as I said. Instead, he leaned closer to my face, and looked deep inside my eyes.

"Not in a million years. You are my girl, like it or not. It comes with a whole package."

Shuroi slapped him hard across the face, and just because I ducked, I was able to avoid the same kind of fate. Only the one that would not probably hurt as much, but still. Inuyasha's hands released my waist like on the signal, and he backed away.

"I do not fucking care about the rules of those bets, but I am not going to let you hurt my friend like you did the others. I am warning you." She gave me a quick hug, and rushed off to class as the first bell rang. Inuyasha stood there, and it appeared as if he was waiting for me.

"What, macho man? Did not you hear what she said?"

He was beside me again in an instant, his powerful arms cupping my face as my heart froze, but I was able to turn my head away and collect my books for the first period. Inuyasha's hands were in his pockets, and he followed me as I made my way towards his locker and waited for him to get his stuff. We shared all of our classes, my dears. Charming, is not it?

"Yoko…"

"What?"

"Are you ready to be swept off your feet tomorrow?" he asked with a wide delvish grin.

"Freaking hell, where do you get this massive boost of self loving all the time?"

"Most likely from the people who hate me. It annoys them, and I enjoy it."

Oh yeah, man, he did. He took my hand and kissed it and when he was not looking, I wiped the kiss off on my school's uniform skirt. Yuck, yuck, yuck. And then I heard the words that stunned me.

"Do not worry about anything. I will be there."

And with that, he pushed through the crowd, tagging me along with him. Like magic, the whole line to classes dissolved as students spotted him, and the girls stared. Well, there was something to stare at. My hand in his, and maybe my "boyfriend" did not notice, but I was not exactly thrilled by the looks I was receiving.
