This past couple of weeks couldn't have been any closer than Hell itself. As Kagome strummed her fingers irately on the lunch table with Inuyasha beside her, she couldn't help but feel her anger fully over powering her fear.

As it was, at first she was really mindful that he may have noticed her, but his flippant dismissal of her every time they crossed paths – which she might add, was quite often – proved to be in her favor each time. Now with her identity safe, Kagome was at ease, and could easily keep an eye on him in the shadows and in light during the day, since they were kind of stuck together.

"I've never met anyone so block headed in my life," Inuyasha started, scribbling harshly in a notebook as he broke down an equation for his math partner.

"Have you met yourself?" Kagome snorted, resting her chin in her free palm while she gave him a sideway glower.

Ignoring her, Inuyasha continued on to the next equation, both annoyed and impressed with the spit fire next to him. As much as he hated this kind of personality, he couldn't help but commend her for her bravery to stand up to him. But overall, her brazenness was what irked him as well. She made his inside boil in ways he thought weren't possible.

It was a fresh feeling that slightly confused him.

"Are you an orphan?" Kagome questioned, noticing that during the last two school's meeting, no one showed up for him.

"Parents are on the move."

"Mines too," She lied, easing over to see how far he'd reached. "The second one is wrong," She noted with a snort, "Idiot."

"You're the idiot," He pushed the text book towards her, where she begrudgingly looked at the back for the answer. "I'm positive when it comes to whatever I do." With a cocky grin, he tapped the pencil against a timer before them.

"Don't touch my orange," She hissed, pulling the object from beneath his pencil with a scowl. "You only got it right because you snuck a peak,"

"Yea right," He scoffed. "…Because everyone has the same mentality as Ka-go-me."

"If anyone had my mentality then the world will be epic."

A snort hushed down her gloat. "Yea, epically stupid."

"Says the asshole with the girly do." She flicked his braided hair with her fingers. Kagome caught some girls looking over at her snidely and rolled her eyes at them with a snort. "Wow, are those bus-kite really giving me the evil eyes just because I speaketh with an asshole?"

Inuyasha shrugged, flicking his gaze over at some girls with a grimace in place. He supposed that the reason he hanged with this girl unconsciously was because she didn't ogle him like every other female in this Godforsaken school. 'That and she is actually cute' He silently admitted, though he dismissed it instantly.

"Their drools are disgusting me." Kagome cut her eyes at them. Even though Inuyasha was hot, and she was forced to always be in his presence that gave those idiots no right to watch her like the next dead thing.

"Is that all?" He eased closer to her, a sadistic gleam in his violet orbs.

"Oh my…" Kagome eased away from him in confusion. "The past couple of weeks didn't hint one bit of the hatred I hold for you?"

Shrugging Inuyasha pushed his notebook to her. "Then prove to me that you're actually learning and not just vying for my attention and company."

Snatching his pencil from him, she gaped at the complicated equation before her. "We haven't even done this in class yet!" Before she could argue even more, Inuyasha snatched up the orange from her, winding it up with the small iron at the back. "I'll time you as well, just to make sure," He placed it before her.

"Make sure what?!"

Pointing silently at the orange, Inuyasha tapped the equation with his finger. "Time's winding down little one."

"I'm not little!" Kagome growled with a pout.

She missed the endearing smile kissing Inuyasha's lips as she rushed to prove him wrong, even though the thought of what he said fluttered her heart.
