A/N: Hey guys! Sorry this got a bit late. I decided not to update at once because I was thinking over what I will do in this chap. Hey pipol out there…please please READ and REVIEW! My hit counter tells that my story has been viewed 4000+ times yet my reviews are 120! Pls. Just give an indication that you've read the story…one word of review will do. I would still greatly appreciate it! Just press that ever-so-adorable periwinkle button there and brighten me up with a review, won't you?

ATTENTION! (I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS…sniff)

Anyway, I always said to myself and to my readers that violent reactions are welcome…Well, maybe not here, but in my other fics I say it always. You could say maybe, "OMG! The plot of this fic is very far from the original plot of the anime and I don't like it!"…or maybe "Your grammar is really bad as well as your spelling and you've got to take a few more lessons…". But please! Oh, please! Don't ever tell me that I'm a "Fucking loser". You know that it really hurts!

bored- "you have no life other than writing fanfic you fucking loser."—That's actually close to what that person said. I wish you could at least respect an author like me even though you didn't like my story or even better you should not have reviewed! I wish you knew the feeling of being hurt! I always give my all to my every fic! And I didn't become an author just to be called a fucking loser by someone as worthless as you!

I swear I don't want a fight but I just can't zip my mouth and keep quiet about it! I want reviews to receive encouragement and well-constructed criticisms to help me be a better author so that I could write better stories.

Sorry about my ranting…hehe…and it took me about a whole page in Word! Okay on with the story…R&R please!

Enemies or Lovers

Chapter 9

Kagome didn't know where she was going. She just walked and walked with tears in her eyes. She didn't think that someone would truly hurt her in that kind of way.

I thought I could use you…

He was really mean to do that! When she was about to forgive him all over again…? He will just do this to her! It's not fair!

She threw her bag at the foot of a large tree and sat there, crying.

Using her? She was human, goodness gracious! She knows how to be hurt! And worse, that hanyou was the one who hurt her thoroughly, thinking she was someone he could just play with.

………

Kagome was nibbling some bread while reading some of her notes. She expects that there would be some quiz or even a review in what they have discussed in classes yesterday. Later on, she look at her wrist watch and stood up.

"I need to go now, mum." She announced placing her notebook inside her bag.

"Aren't you going to wait for Inuyasha, dear?" Mrs. Higurashi said picking up her plate from the dining table.

"Uhh…" she was thinking of some excuse to avoid seeing Inuyasha that morning. "Umm…he said yesterday that he's not going to give me a ride…yeah…and…he said he need to go to school early."

"Oh, okay then." Her mother said, not questioning her further.

Kagome sighed inwardly. But as if to ruin her morning, a beep came from the outside of their house. It was Inuyasha in his accursed car.

Kagome's face went red when her mother gave her a questioning stare. She shot straight to the door to avoid questions that would rack her brain to death. She really would not like to answer them.

Inuyasha never looked at her. He just waited for her in his car. He was wearing some kind of sadness-mixed-with-anger expression.

Kagome continued walking with her head down. But instead of riding in the hanyou's car, she turned left and hailed a taxi.

This made Inuyasha scowl. She could have appreciated my effort of coming here to fetch her! Argh! He said to himself. Then, he started his engine and went straight to school.

He caught up with the girl. Inuyasha hurriedly parked his car and ran to Kagome's side.

"You know, you could have even said, 'Thank you for coming to fetch me but I don't think I want to ride with you to school today.'" He said to the girl.

"So, you want me to thank you?" Kagome said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, or even a look of appreciation or whatever. Or even a sorry after what you have insulted me yesterday-" he continued to pester.

"Insulted? I insulted your ever-so-high pride? And what did you tell me yesterday? A well-constructed compliment?" she retorted angrily.

This made Inuyasha speechless. Oh yeah, what he said to her yesterday was not that good to hear to someone who doesn't even like you.

"Look…"he started. "It was an accident that I told you that…I actually…" Inuyasha said trying to think of what to reason to her.

"Leave me alone Inuyasha before you regret it." She threatened.

"Scaring me won't do. What could you do to me? You're just a she-human—OW!"

Kagome stood there, already red with rage. "Leave me alone! I'm not anyone's toy or puppet…nor yours pea-brain!"

Inuyasha's hand flew to his sore cheek. She slapped him and to tell you…it was very loud and crisp that it could have torn his face had he not been a hanyou. He didn't know she could be that strong.

Okay that's one fact about her I should not forget if I still want to live a long life. He thought irritably. He stood there for a few minutes still unable to move after his confrontation with Kagome.

RIIIIIIIING!

It's time for classes.

Oh damn! I haven't got my books from my locker! And with that he run inside the building to retrieve his things that he will use for his morning classes.

………

"Ma'am, when will we able to choose our classes so that we could concentrate on our course?" a girl in front asked the professor.

"The administrator said you will have to choose them by second semester. We just have to have this classes to make you see the interesting points of different subjects and make you sure on what course of studies you're going to take."

"So…uhhh…to business…"

"I…am…sorry I'm…late." Inuyasha said, panting. He was clutching his side with his right hand and his other hand is preoccupied in holding his books and bag.

"Go on Mr. Sutoushiro…you may take your seat." The teacher said somewhat sternly. Obviously, he disapproved of tardiness.

"Are you okay Inuyasha?" Kikyo whispered as their teacher turned his back to write something on the board.

"Go away! I don't want to talk to you!" Inuyasha whispered back, not looking at the cold gray eyes of his ever-so-faithful stalker.

"I was just worried. It's just natural because-" she started.

"Shut it! I don't want to hear it…I don't want to puke right now, you know." Inuyasha said cutting Kikyo's offending statement.

Kikyo pouted but still looked at him affectionately as she resumed her position in her seat. (A/N: Ugh! Yuck! Sorry if there are Kikyo lovers here…I just hate her so much!)

Kagome had her chin resting on her palm. She had a scowl planted on her forehead because of the scene that played before her.

I thought he said he wanted to get rid of her? Then why is he flirting with that girl?" Kagome said to herself heatedly before returning her gaze to the board.

Jealous?

No!

You are…

Am not!

Oh yes you are…

Am not!

Okay, continue denying it…I know what you really feel…

-Sigh- Just leave me alone…I'm trying to concentrate here…

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Oh Yeah…I finished it…hehe. I've finally decided what to do in the next chapter…about how to make them close…hehe…So, please review. I'll update Friday next week.

-hides behind a chair- I'm so sorry! I got my exams coming again! I'll update all my fics on Friday next week! Promise!

Review replies!

Miriae- hey! Thans for the review nd all...I'll ry to do what you suggest but it seems hard for me to make longer chaps...This chap is supposed to be longer with more exciting events actually but to tell you the truth, i just sneaked from my mom to get this chap finished so i didn't put much. I promise the next chap would be loaded, okies!...OMG...I hope it would...hehe...

mikogoddeskagome - thanks for the review and the suggestion...ummm...but, Inuyasha was really hurt because of what Kagome said to him...you know, calling someone as sensitive as him 'half-breed- can truly hurt so i honestly don't think that that would be appropriate...But i am very grateful for the suggestion!

oxymoronique- nice name...haha! thanks for the compliments...it makes me feel good and really inspired...i hope i could here more from you soon and i hope you'll like the chaps i put in my stories!

inugirl4ever - i agree with you. I just hate that Kikyo! But killing her harshly won't really help because she is much needed here to make Inuyasha and Kagome realize that they are meant for each other...ooops...must have said too much...hehe...anyway, thanks for the review!

Hanako Horigome - you knwo, i know you...you're also a reader of Cigs and Lav right? i see your name in the review replies there! Thanks for the review!

sexyvodka1125- hey! I think that's a nice idea! I've been thinking of doing it...and i've been thinking for nights if it is appropriate and then i read your review! So i decided to go for it...We thought the same! Haha! Thanks for the review and the suggestion! I'll just cut some of it...i won't make nice petty arguments...i'm thinking of making bigger ones...Hehe -naughty grin-

For the others---THANKS A LOT FOR THE REVIEW!

Bye-bye!
