Chapter 9

"Hey Kagome?"

It was already the second week of school and still no progress with 'The Kagome Case'. I was determined to change that. We were sitting in math class, Monday morning, and I was going to make her acknowledge me. Somehow…

"Kagome!"

I whispered louder, hoping she would turn her gorgeous brown eyes to me. She did.

"What the hell do you want? I'm trying to work here."

The teacher shot us a glance from his desk so we shutup. As soon as his head went back down I began to prod Kagome again.

"Well I'm trying to work too, but I don't have a pencil."

"Oh well. Sucks to be you."

"So I was wondering if you have an extra pencil that I could borrow?"

She cocked her perfectly plucked eyebrow up at me.

"You want me to lend you a pencil?"

"Yeah."

"Too bad for you cause I don't have one. Leave me alone."

She bent her head back down and started doing her work again. She's not going to lose me that fast.

"If you don't have a pencil, which I highly doubt, then I guess I'll just have to talk to you to keep me from boredom."

"I really don't have a pencil!"

She hissed, making the teacher shoot us another look. A darker look.

"So, where did you go to school before you came here?"

"InuYasha…"

"Do you have any siblings? Are your parents still together?"

"InuYasha shutup right now or I swear to God I'll-"

"Kagome? InuYasha?"

Oh shit. We've been caught.

"Is there something you'd like to share with the class?"

Everyone looked up at us. Kagome went a cute shade of pink.

"N-no sir."

She stammered but he didn't look convinced.

"Well if you're not going to share your interesting conversation with everyone else then you can take it outside the classroom and finish it there."

"A-are you sending me out?"

He pointed to the door. Kagome stood up and gathered her books and her messenger bag in her hands. I picked up my textbook and followed her out, saluting the teacher and winking at some girls on the way. As soon as the door closed behind us, Kagome whipped around and glared at me.

"This is all your fault!"

"Your welcome."

"I am not thanking you!"

"Well you should be! I just got you out of math! And now,"

As we were talking I was walking forward, forcing her to move back. Eventually we got to a wall and she had no where to go. I placed my hands on the wall, one on either side of her head.

"We can have some alone time."

I gave her a small, sly smile but she just gave me a disguised look.

"Are you serious?"

"Uh…yes?"

"You pig! Ugh!"

She pushed my chest so I was forced to move back. She moved away from the wall…and from me.

"Is sex the only thing on your mind?"

"Hey! I wasn't suggesting that we do it… were you?"

"Um, no!"

"Then don't jump to conclusions!"

"InuYasha, it's you! Of course I'm going to jump to conclusions. You're the biggest player in this country!"

Usually when someone calls me a player, I just smile and wink at them or laugh. Yet when Kagome said it, it felt like that was the worst possible thing anyone could ever call me.

"Why wont you just try and get to know me?"

Her face then softened in a way that was completely different then her usual scowl. And it was much prettier.

"Because, InuYasha. I've been involved with guys like you before and I just end up by getting hurt. So no, I am not going to try and get to know you because I know you're just the same as every scumbag of a guy."

Then she looked me over once or twice and almost whispered.

"Maybe even worse."

Then she picked up her bag and her books and quietly walked down the hall.

"You want me to be different huh?"

I kicked my textbook before picking it up.

"I can change."
