wk: Whoo! This is getting harder and harder, trying to shuffle between stories... But I'm one determined bitch, so I'll do it! (Happy face) Hope you haven't been waiting too long for this chapter, and I hope I haven't lost too many supporters in the wait. (Sad face)

Chapter Six
Be Mine

Okay, this was stupid. This was a very stupid idea. She should have broken up with the stupid bastard when she had the chance. Of all the sneaky, under-handed things to do to her, this was one of the worst. No, this was the worst.

"Do you want another one?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome glowered.

"Evil," she whispered, but accepted with a nod.

He was feeding her cheesecake. And there were little strawberry pieces on the top. Not to mention the mousse on it as well.

Oh, the man had concocted the perfect, sly, evil plan.

"Kagome, stop looking at me like that. I'm feeding you, not stabbing your cat to death." Inuyasha smirked.

"And that by the way, was another evil thing to do. Getting me a cat… How did you even know I wasn't allergic to cats?" Kagome asked, taking another bite of sin.

Inuyasha grinned. "I didn't."

"What would you have done," Kagome said slowly, waving her fork at him, "if I had been allergic to it?"

"Too bad for the kitty, he would've gone to the pound," Inuyasha muttered. "I was going to get you a dog, but I thought a cat was easier to handle… Snotty, lousy lot, cats are. They think they're so above everything." Inuyasha snorted. "But the one I got you seemed okay, if a bit lazy. You name him yet?" he asked, taking a bite of the cheesecake for himself.

"Don't eat my cheesecake," she said mildly, then nodded. "Yeah… Actually, Mama named him. We call him Buyo."

"Buyo?" Inuyasha seemed confused. "That's a weird name."

"Mama named him." Kagome finished off the cheesecake, and sat back, a satisfied smile on her face. "I still don't know what the special occasion is, but thanks for the nice date." Kagome pursed her lips. "What is the occasion?"

Inuyasha smiled. "You don't remember, do you?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Would I be asking if I knew?"

"Our one week agreement… Do you remember?"

"Uh… Yeah… Ohhh…" Kagome gave him a wicked smile. "So you were trying to seduce me into staying with you?"

"Something like that, I suppose," Inuyasha agreed easily, making Kagome laugh.

"So what makes you think I'm going to say yes?" she asked, interested in the answer.

"Well, if the way you reacted to the cheesecake was any indication, you really like me," Inuyasha said with a sigh, as if it was a burden he had to carry.

"I liked the cheesecake, not you," Kagome pointed out. Inuyasha's deadly grin flashed.

"Yeah, but I'm the one who ordered it for you. Would you have gotten it if I hadn't?"

"Touché," Kagome muttered.

"So what's your answer?" Inuyasha asked, taking out his wallet.

"I'll tell you once you take me home," Kagome said, grinning at him. "I'll make you wait for it a little longer."

"And you called me evil," Inuyasha said good-naturedly.

"Eh. If the shoe fits," Kagome said, rising from her chair.

Inuyasha paid for the meal, and they walked to his car. Instead of his motorcycle, he brought his BMW, thinking it was better for the occasion, since Kagome was wearing a dress. She could just sit sideways, but he found a jealous streak in him that he didn't really want to exploit. He really didn't want to be the one responsible for a mass homicide just because Kagome's dress flew up in the wind inevitably.

"How did you know I liked cheesecake so much?" Kagome asked.

"Your mom," Inuyasha said bluntly. "She whispered it to me while you went upstairs to get your jacket."

Kagome stared at him, then laughed. "I shouldn't be surprised. My mother's so sneaky! I don't even know how she found out we were dating!"

Inuyasha grunted his agreement, and started the car. He recklessly sped out, making Kagome squeak and hurriedly reach for her seat belt.

"Oi, calm down. I know how to drive perfectly well."

"What's your definition of 'perfectly well'?" Kagome asked, giving him a wry glance.

"This," Inuyasha said with a grin before he stepped on the gas hard. Kagome squealed, her face going pale. Inuyasha chuckled as he immediately slowed down. "Just joking." He was hit on his arm for his efforts. "Ow!"

"You deserve it! Jerk. You'd be lucky if I say yes tonight," Kagome huffed, miffed.

"Pfft. It's not like I don't know that you're going to say yes, anyway," Inuyasha said, unconcerned with her threat. Kagome glowered at him.

"Hmph. We'll see about that." She folded her arms across her chest and sat back, grumbling to herself.

"Aw, baby, don't be like that," Inuyasha coaxed, still grinning.

"Screw you," she hissed. "It's not like you don't have a backup replacement waiting for you anyway."

"What's this? You jealous, duchess?"

"Who's calling who duchess? If I remember correctly, you're the rich one, Mr. Prince." Inuyasha laughed, and rolled down his window, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his front pocket.

"Don't you remember our deal?" Kagome hissed, taking the cigarette he pulled out. Inuyasha sighed.

"Come on, Kagome. Give me a break."

"No."

Inuyasha smiled. "Then give me a kiss." She gaped at him.

"You're driving!" Kagome pointed out. Inuyasha stopped at a red light.

"Okay, give me that kiss." He looked at her, his amusement clearly showing through. She rolled her eyes. She leaned over and brushed her lips against his lightly, trying to linger but trying to make it fast at the same time. She quickly retreated, refolding her arms, blushing furiously.

"Hey, there's no need to change colors on me." He stepped on the gas pedal lightly, seeing that the light turned green. "It's only been a couple of days, and you've kissed me numerous times before. I've had a craving for a cigarette nearly ten times a day. Probably more. Yet, you blush each time. That means you're thinking too much."

"That's none of your business," Kagome said tightly, her face still a delicate shade of red.

"Speaking of, I had a craving for a cigarette four times today, before I came and picked you up." Inuyasha shot her a smug grin. Kagome's scowl and fierce blush did well for his ego.

"What do you do? Keep a damn log? A record?" Kagome shook her head at him, as if pitying him.

"Hey, if it means I can count the number of kisses I'm going to get that day…" He smiled at her. "Of course I'm keeping track! Although I don't write it down…"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Figures. Hentai."

"Hey! You're the one that agreed to it!" Inuyasha huffed defensively. Kagome scoffed.

"What was I supposed to do? Let you die of cancer? Put that window back up, it's getting chilly," she demanded.

"And she wonders why I call her duchess," Inuyasha grumbled as he put the window back up.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously. One of his hands came up to tug at the beads around his neck. "I'm driving!" he quickly warned, and Kagome pouted. "Oi, bitch, you've been using that command a lot lately."

"It's not like you don't deserve it," she groused.

"I don't deserve that shit! I feel like I'm lower than a dog…" Inuyasha scowled. He pouted. "Even dogs have the choice if they really want to 'sit' or not."

Kagome pursed her lips. "I never really thought of it like that. Hm…" She smiled at him, and he brightened. Was she going to take it off…?

"I'll try harder not to say it!" His face fell as if an anvil had dropped on his head. Why, the inconsiderate—

"Deep breath," he murmured to himself. "Deep breath…"

"Are you angry at me, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, smiling at him, fully knowing that he was.

Inuyasha's eyes flashed and his temper broke. "Oi, I don't know where the hell you get off by fucking sitting me all the time, but I think it's you need to—"

Kagome interrupted with a scream. "Truck!"

Inuyasha swerved easily, avoiding the truck and its blaring horn. "You're not paying attention to me!" he snapped.

"If I knew getting you angry would've made you disregard every traffic law, I wouldn't have—"

"So you made me angry on purpose?" Inuyasha growled. Did she have a death wish? Other people were terrified to get on his bad side, and here she was trying to make him angry! "Dammit woman! I change my mind! I don't want a psycho like you for a girlfriend!"

"Well, I don't want a law-breaking hooligan like you to be my boyfriend!" Kagome instantly retorted, irritated.

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Good!"

"All right!"

Abrupt silence fell in the car.

Kagome stubbornly kept the silence, and left the anger festering in her gut.

Inuyasha on the other hand, muttered dirty expletives under his breath that had her fists clenching.

When she couldn't take his utterances any more, she exploded, breaking her silent promise to stay silent. "If you're going to say something, say it to my face!" she yelled, turning to fume at him.

"Fine!" Inuyasha took a breath. "What the hell is your problem and why aren't you scared of me?" he shouted.

"Should I be scared of you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't arch that eyebrow at me, duchess!" Now that he'd started, he was on a roll. It would take a blockade the size of Hokkaido to stop his train now.

"Stop calling me that!" Kagome fumed. Inuyasha ignored her. He pulled up in front of the shrine. Kagome made movements to get out of the car, but he locked the doors. She glowered at him. "Let me out."

"You're the one that told me to say it to your face," Inuyasha pointed out, a sneer on his face. Shit. This night wasn't turning out the way he planned. Once again, his temper had to get in the way! "This wouldn't have happened if you would just take the fucking necklace off of me! It makes me look queer too!"

"Not enough of a man to handle it, Inuyasha? It's just a body ornament," she retorted. "I think men that aren't secure enough in their masculinity always has a—"

"I don't want to hear about that kind of shit! And trust me, I'm masculine! But the necklace is gay, and that's a fact!"

"Well, I thought it made you look more cool, but never mind!" Kagome shouted back at him. "Let me out!"

His anger, which had boiled to the surface, immediately disappeared when he saw her struggling with tears. Dammit, his one weakness, and she had to exploit it!

"Dammit!" he yelled, hitting the wheel with the heel of his hand. Then, feeling his anger dissipate, he let out a long breath, and glanced at her. She was determinedly not looking at him. It made him feel awkward, knowing that she was fighting tears because of him. It made him feel like slime. "H-hey, turn off the waterworks!" he said gruffly.

This only made her sniffle, trying to keep the tears in, but to no avail, one came out and soon after, the other tears followed. Inuyasha bit his lip, and looked around, as if waiting for someone to come and save him.

"O-o-oi!" he stuttered, awkwardly putting a hand on her shoulder. She immediately (viciously) shrugged it off, and tugged on the door handle once more.

"Let me out," she choked out.

"Hey! I'm trying to apologize!" Inuyasha said angrily, this time forcefully turning her to face him. Whoops. Big mistake.

Those large crystalline tears would have looked fake on anyone else. But in Kagome's eyes, they made his heart twist painfully. She hastily wiped at her eyes, her lower lip quivering a bit.

He heaved a mighty sigh, wincing before his next words. "I'm sorry."

Wow. How long had it been since he's heard those words out of his mouth? Well, sincerely out of his mouth, anyway.

Kagome was still sitting there silently, sulking.

"Oi! I apologized," Inuyasha said, annoyed that he wasn't getting a response.

"So I heard," she mumbled. Then she sighed. "I guess I'm sorry, too."

"You guess?" Inuyasha repeated. Kagome sighed again.

"I'm sorry I made you angry," Kagome said, her tears drying. She looked at him expectantly and he blinked.

"What?"

Kagome huffed out an angry breath. "What are you sorry for?"

"Um…" he screwed up his face in concentration. Kagome gaped at him, then instantly became peeved again.

"What the hell did you apologize for if you don't even know what you're apologizing for?" she asked, thumping him on his shoulder with her fist. "I can't believe I apologized to you. I take it back! You're just a no-good, selfish bastard who can't even tie his own shoes without—"

Inuyasha's hand went to the back of her head, pulling her to him across the space. He met her angry mouth with his, and she tried to even bite him. He nipped her lip in reproach, and she squeaked.

"I'm sorry for making you cry," he mumbled against her mouth. When the words registered in her brain, she practically melted. Her arms went around his neck, completely receptive to his advances now.

Although he knew the ground rules she had laid down, he couldn't help himself. He deepened the kiss, using his tongue. She only hummed with satisfaction and proceeded to kiss him back, so he figured rule breaking was still his strongest forte. She didn't seem to mind breaking her own rule either, kissing him back passionately.

Before things got uncomfortable for Inuyasha, he pulled away, but brushed his lips against hers fleetingly, once, twice. She shuddered, but her eyes drifted open and she pulled away as well. Her hand shot up to touch her now swollen lips.

"Did we…?"

"Yeah."

"You just…"

"Yep."

"And I…"

"Looks like it."

"So we…"

"Are going out, whether you like it or not." Inuyasha closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the headrest.

"But I—"

"You didn't say yes out loud, but you were going to, right?"

"Not necessarily—"

"Kagome, baby… It's settled."

"No! I mean… I don't think—"

"It's too late for thinking, duchess."

"Don't call me duchess. And it's not too late for—!"

Again, Inuyasha pulled her to him again, this time brutally ravaging her mouth. Not that she complained. At all.

"We are going out, duchess, whether you like it or not, because we've got something good going here, and I'm not about to pull the plug on it." He finally unlocked the doors and leaned over to give her a much softer kiss on the lips. He grinned at her as she blinked at him. "I was craving a cigarette just then."

"Um…" She fumbled for the door handle, still blinking in bewilderment. She kept on glancing back at him as if he was going to attack her at any given moment. She seemed frightened enough.

Inuyasha sighed as she finally yanked the door handle, and she practically flew up those stairs. You would think she would be used to him by now, he thought wryly. Then again, he thought with a grin, they've only been officially going out one minute now.

"Dammit! He completely befuddled me!" Kagome yelled into the phone. "Kissing me at the most inappropriate moments!" She paused, then yelled, "Don't laugh at me Sango! This is serious!"

"So now you two are seriously going out! What's the harm in that? The school believes you've been going out much longer than just a couple of minutes."

Kagome had called Sango as soon as she had run into the shrine.

"But still, Sango! He had no right! That was my personal space!"

Sango chuckled. "And that personal space is going to be violated a lot. If you weren't prepared for that, then I'm afraid you weren't prepared for Inuyasha."

Kagome pouted. "You're not on my side, are you?"

"Quite frankly, I enjoy seeing the two of you together. It's a real source of entertainment," Sango replied, chuckling. Kagome's eyes narrowed. Two could play at this game.

"Yeah, you're right," Kagome said, her voice all of a sudden innocent and docile. "Do you know who is entertaining to me?" She didn't give Sango the chance to answer. "You and Miroku! You two are so adorable with each other, it's so funny!" she cooed. "The way he always flirts with you and the way you act all angry but really you're—"

"Kagome!" Sango whined. "That's not playing fair!"

"Of course not, my dear Sango. But I will do what must be done!"

"And what is that?"

"That's for me to know, and for you to find out." Kagome heaved a heavy sigh. "So I guess I'm stuck with my bastard for now, hm?"

"Looks like it," Sango agreed easily. Sango yawned into the phone. "Well, I'm tired now, so I'm going off to bed. I'll talk to you later, Kagome! And don't worry! You know everything will turn out okay."

"Yeah, I guess so. Thanks for listening to me, Sango."

"No problem. That's what friends are for, ne?" Kagome smiled.

"Of course!"

"Okay, good night!"

"Good night!" They both hung up. Kagome tossed the phone onto the floor near her desk, not really caring where it landed. Just then, her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"You done explaining the situation to Sango?" Inuyasha asked, lazily sitting back in the car seat. He was almost home, and he figured Kagome had had enough time to outline the situation to Sango.

"What the hell? Do you have a camera set up in my house? Did you bug me?" Kagome demanded to know.

"No. Common sense. It's elementary, my dear Watson.

"Yeah, yeah. What do you want," Kagome asked, unable to keep the smile off her face.

"Mm… Just to hear my girlfriend's voice. What, I can't do that?" he asked. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Is that what I said? Stupid." Kagome couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her mouth. She flopped down on her bed. "Inuyasha, how long do you intend to let me keep this phone?"

"Eh? What are you talking about? That phone is yours," he said, confused. "I gave it to you, didn't I?"

"What? So… this is mine? From now on?"

"Yeah."

"But… Aren't you paying for the bill?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha snorted.

"Yeah, so?"

"At least let me pay for it," she said.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. If I need you to pay for it, I'll get you to. So keep your panties on."

"My panties are secure, thanks," Kagome retorted wryly. She paused. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't have given it to you if I wasn't sure. Stop being weird already. I'm rich."

"Good to know," Kagome said wryly. "Just to let you know, I'm not dating you for your money."

Inuyasha snorted. "I would've dumped you on your ass a long time ago if that were the case. Of course, it's not like it hasn't happened before, but…"

"Ha! As if I would need your money to do anything." She paused. "Just how rich are you, anyway?"

"Keh. I dunno. My dad's the CEO of Takashi Industries so—"

"Wah! Takashi Industries? Are you serious?"

"My last name is Takashi. Do the math, Kagome," he said, drawing out her name.

"Wow. Man. Your fortune must be close to seven figures… No, eight maybe nine figures!" she exclaimed, awed.

"So they say," Inuyasha replied. He pulled into his driveway, looking at his empty house distastefully. No doubt his father was still at the company, still grooming the first born, his half-brother, for taking over. He grimaced as he smoothly got out of his car.

"Are you home now?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay. Then I'll let you go. You sure your family doesn't mind if you come in so late? They must be worried by now."

Inuyasha was silent for a moment. "Nah, I don't think so. They probably went to sleep already."

"Oh, I see." Kagome yawned, and tried to keep it quiet. Inuyasha grinned.

"You sound tired. Go to sleep, 'Gome."

"Yeah, I think I will. Thanks for the date tonight, Inuyasha. It was fun!"

Inuyasha grinned wickedly. "Yeah… fun. I particularly liked the end of the date."

"The end of the…" Kagome flushed quickly. "Hey, I never agreed to that, by the way. I'll expect a flower tomorrow."

"Wha? I didn't smoke!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Pft. Doesn't matter. You broke one of my rules."

Inuyasha grinned again. "You didn't seem to mind it very much." Kagome's blush grew.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now! Bye!" She quickly hung up. She went into the bathroom to get ready for bed and looked in the mirror. Her face was still scarlet. The heated kiss in the car did nothing to help her sleep, either. She tossed and turned for about half an hour, then fell into a light sleep, dreaming about golden eyes.

Kagome woke up from the shrill ring of the cell phone. She picked it up tiredly. "Hello?" What time was it and who the hell was calling her now? She pried one eye open to look out the window. The sun peeked through brightly.

Wait.

The sun!

She realized her mortal mistake as Inuyasha's voice blared through the phone. "Idiot! Why do you still sound like you're sleeping? We're gonna be late!"

"Kyah!" Kagome leaped from the bed towards the closet. She quickly pulled out her school uniform and donned it, one hand on the phone. "Sorry, sorry! I'll be down in a few minutes!"

"Baka! Hurry up!" Inuyasha stared at the phone. She had already hung up. She came running down the stairs, and nearly fell at the last few steps, but quickly caught herself. She had a piece of toast in her mouth, and he quickly gave her a helmet. He roared out of there, quickly heading towards the school.

"Sorry!" she shouted over the wind. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, swerving onto the street that would take them to the school.

"It's all right! We're still on time! Cutting it close there, Kagome!"

"Sorry! I woke up when you called! Otherwise I definitely would have overslept!"

He pulled into the school parking lot, and took off his helmet. Kagome pulled hers off as well, and he noticed that it looked like a bird's nest. Apparently, she had not taken the time to brush out her bedridden hair before braiding it. He chuckled and pulled her closer. She looked up at him suspiciously as he laid his hands on her hair. He began to tuck stray strands in here and there.

"You look like you were mauled by angry crows," Inuyasha explained.

"Is that your way of saying I look attractive," Kagome asked sarcastically, batting her lashes at him. He laughed.

"I suppose that's one way to look at it," Inuyasha said, still chuckling.

"Jerk," Kagome declared, pouting in a teasing manner.

"So I see you two are finally getting along," Sango's voice said from behind her. Kagome smiled brightly.

"Sango!" Then she glowered darkly at her other companion. "If you call fighting all the time 'getting along,' then yeah, I guess we are."

"Oi, I'm not the one that always picks fights."

"And I suppose you're going to say that I do?" Kagome demanded to know. Inuyasha blanched.

"Uh, that's not what I'm saying… I'm just saying that they just happen," he said, trying to get out of a bad situation.

"Hmph! Let's go to class, Sango!" Kagome dragged Sango inside, and Inuyasha only sighed, following them.

Other students watched, and several girls began to hound Inuyasha again. Inuyasha, ill-tempered and grumpy that Kagome didn't seem to care, only snapped at them.

"Get away from me!" Inuyasha snapped at one persistent girl that had been trying to tug his bag away from him.

"But Inuyasha-kun, aren't you done with her? You're usually done with other girls by this time… Besides, look, she doesn't even care that you're talking to us." She whispered conspiratorially, "She's making you look bad, Inuyasha-kun." She added a wink for good measure.

Inuyasha glanced at Kagome, and saw that she was still laughing and chatting it up with Sango. Well! He would show her.

He turned to the girl that had whispered to him. "So what's a cute thing like you doing talking to a beast like me?" He asked. She seemed absolutely thrilled. She was ready to melt into a puddle at his feet.

"Oh, Inuyasha-kun, you're not a beast!" she trilled. Inuyasha winced at the loud shrill of her voice. She grabbed onto his bag again, and this time he let her hold it.

"Well, thanks," he said, not so sure about this anymore. He had never egged one of the girls on before. Mostly, he just ignored them, picking one out for fun sometimes.

She was immediately attached to his arm, and the other girls started fighting for his other arm.

"Girls, girls, girls!" Inuyasha cried out. "Calm down!"

"I'll be glad to take some off your hands," Miroku said, grinning as he came up behind the gaggle.

"Please?" Inuyasha pleaded, shoving girls off of him. They were all squealing, reminding him of hungry pigs.

"Ladies, let's leave Inuyasha alone. Looks like he wants some alone time with his girlfriend."

Inuyasha shot Miroku a dirty look, but immediately looked around for his girlfriend. She had, apparently, gone to class. Growling, he made his way to her first period class.

Luckily, she hadn't entered yet, saying her last hurried goodbyes to Sango before either of them were late. The growl came out full blast as he captured her arm and hauled her to him.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I was hanging out with all those girls and you didn't even—" Inuyasha cut himself off. Did he want her to be jealous?

Damn right he did.

"Aargh! Just never mind!" Inuyasha exclaimed, letting go of her arm. Her eyes were narrowed at him, he noticed. She remained silent. He became unnerved and stood there awkwardly. Why was she staring at him like that?

When her mouth opened, he nearly sighed with relief. Until she said in a very high-pitched mocking tone, "'What's a cute thing like you talking to a beast like me?' I quote verbatim."

Inuyasha gaped at her. Then he smirked. "So you were listening."

Kagome snorted. "Like anyone couldn't you guys were so loud all of Japan must have heard you milking it."

Inuyasha's smirk didn't disappear. His eyes narrowed in a calculating manner. "So are you… jealous?"

"No!" The denial immediately came forth. A little too quickly to be believable.

"No? Are you sure? Not even when that girl took my bag for me and—" Inuyasha suddenly stopped. "Oh shit! She still has my bag! Fuck, I'm going to be late again!" Inuyasha swore all the way down the hall, making Kagome stare after him. When he disappeared from sight and she couldn't hear him anymore, she chuckled.

She quickly went back into the classroom before the bell rang, ignoring the teacher's dirty looks and sitting in front of Hojo as usual. A few minutes later, her phone vibrated once quickly in her bag, indicating she had received a message. It was loud enough for her to hear, but not loud enough for the teacher to hear.

Cautiously, very carefully, as if she would set off a bomb if she wasn't too careful, she lifted her phone out of her bag.

She flipped it open under her desk and looked at it. It was from Inuyasha, and there was a picture attached.

The message said, "meet u in da last class. hope u like da pic." Kagome opened the picture, and it was a picture of the girl, trying to run away with Inuyasha's bag. She had it clutched to her chest, and had such a look of desperation on her face Kagome almost felt sorry for her. However, the effect of it was so comical that she had quickly lower her face so that the teacher wouldn't suspect her of snickering. Regaining her composure, she looked up in time to write a new set of notes down, then replied to Inuyasha. Making sure her phone was on silent, she also took a picture when the evil teacher's back was turned, and sent it.

As the class wore on, she looked out the window and smiled. Kagome Higurashi finally had a boyfriend, and he wasn't half bad.

wk: Okay. That's the end of chapter six. Hope you enjoyed it, and if you have any questions, feel free to leave it in a review or e-mail me. Either way, I'm a lonely soul who enjoys attention of any kind. Well, except maybe negative attention.

Anyways, I think this story is coming along fine so far. I like it. Amazingly.

Okay, whoknoez is out!
