Hey guys! Gabe told me about ow nice y'all were and I just have to say I'm so happy!

So concerning the poll about whether or not this story should contain a lemon, I'm leaving it up for 1 more chapter. So when I post chapter 12, its coming down. Enjoy!

InuYasha stared at the school building nervously. It's the Friday after he received the necklace and heard Sesshomaru and Naraku arguing. The obi was around his waist, the necklace on his neck and the Tessaiga clenched firmly in a fist. Today there was an assembly to be held.

All Betas who had accepted all gifts from their Alphas were to come to the auditorium with their received gifts. The student council president-Sesshomaru was this year's president, hence the title "King of the Grade"-and the vice president-Koga-would pass out the notes that the Alphas had given to the principle. Why them? Because the principle would work on some papers while they were being handed out. All notes would be typed and given out and that would be that. Then classes would resume.

Sighing, InuYasha was about to enter when he bumped into someone. He growled irritably as a familiar scent reached his nose. "For crying out loud, Kagome, move already!"

Kagome took a few steps forward and spun on her heel, glaring at the white haired Hanyou. "Be patient, InuYasha!" there was a bow and quiver of arrows on her back and two stud earrings, both with different gems-one sapphire the other ruby-pierced in her ear. Finally, her green obi was tied around her waist.

"We have an assembly to go to this morning!" he shouted, "And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you make me late!" he was anxious to figure out who his Alpha was. Grabbing Kagome's wrist, he dragged her despite her protests and struggles into the auditorium.

Chattering Beta's crowded the room nearly entirely. On the stage was a single microphone. Ms. Honda was nowhere to be seen, but Sesshomaru sat calmly on a chair nearby the mic, Koga on his left. His hands were folded in his lap and he was examining the group of Beta's, looking frustrated. His gaze landed on InuYasha at the same time the InuYasha spotted him and smirked. InuYasha turned away quickly and sat down with Kagome as the bell rang and Ms. Honda appeared on the stage.

"Welcome, all of you Betas between ages 17 and 18!" she chirped into the mic, "All of you have your gifts, right?" InuYasha looked around as everyone nodded, searching for someone familiar. He saw a few faces-not any he could easily place a name to save Kagome and…was that Sango's brother Kohaku?-and sighed as he went back to the principle's speech.

"So all of you know what comes next, right?" at the collective murmurs, she grinned and said "Great! Sesshomaru, could you please come up to the mic?"

The blank-faced Youkai silently stood up and went to the microphone. He took a deep breath and began. "As many of you know, today is the last weekday before Mating Season begins. Next week, school will be out for two weeks while Betas and their Alphas officially become mates. Koga and I will now hand out the notes that the Alphas gave to Ms. Honda for be given to their Betas."

Ms. Honda picked up a hidden stack of small papers, split the stack in half and gave both halves to each demon. Once they had their half, they walked around reading off names and handing out the notes.

"Higarashi, Kagome!" Koga called, blushing lightly.

"I'll see you later, InuYasha," Kagome said, going to pick up her note.

"InuYasha!" Sesshomaru's voice shouted. The sound of his name rolling off the demon's tongue with such ease made the Hanyou shudder for some unknown reason.

He approached the silvery haired demon scowling. Said demon was smirking as he held out the note. InuYasha snatched it away and picked up his stuff, headed for class.

As he walked through the halls, he couldn't help but read the note. Breathing deeply to calm himself, he scanned the note.

InuYasha,

Tomorrow at noon, meet me at the park near your house.
