Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!

Okay...is that? Is that growling i hear? Kagome questioned herself in her mind. Miroku and Sango were both staring at her but at the same time, it wasn't her that they were looking at. Kagome looked to her right and saw Inuyasha standing very close to her. She felt her cheeks burn just a little as she balled her fists.

"Ghost boy, ever heard of the concept, personal space?" Kagome asked in a hushed voice so only he can hear. Seriously. This is a little over board, she thought.

"Yeah...but i do not like that guy, he smells like trouble...mangy wolf," Inuyasha said eyeing the guy who walked in.

"So? You don't even know him so how are you going to judge him by the way-" she paused for a moment,"Hold on did you say wolf?" Kagome asked him, backtracking at what he had just said.

"No, I said he was a chicken," Inuyasha said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Oh great." She pursed her lips and sighed,"We got another comedian. What's next another lecher? I was just asking a question," Kagome said rolling her eyes.

"It was a dumb question," Inuyasha retorted.

Miroku and Sango sighed. They were going to get at it again.

"Now how long do these fights last?" Miroku asked her.

"About ten minutes, but if we are lucky they can fight for only five minutes," Sango answered.

"Damn they are like an old married couple. Is all that they can do? Fight? I mean, I would like to see cheerleaders around to say the words fight," Miroku said with a lecherous twinkle in his eye

"The bicker the better," Sango muttered, but she heard his words carefully and hit him on the head. Fortunately for him, it did not knock him out.

"So my dear Sango, while the two love birds are preoccupied with their argument. What shall we do?" he questioned.

"We are in class. I'm not your dear. And i sure as hell won't do anything with you and your perverted thoughts," Sango said with a glare and a vein pressuring in her head. (A/N: that angry red symbol when the character is annoyed, it makes me laugh some times.)

"What perverted thoughts my sweet?" Miroku said patting her hand.

The vein pressured even more. "Miroku," Sango seethed through her teeth. "Don't play innocent with me."

"Alright," he held his hands in defense. I like seeing her angry, but damn, if I tick her off badly. I don't think I'll ever live to see another day, he thought.

Silence passed for a few minutes between them. Wait, what were we talking about? Wait. A minute, he turned to her.

"No really Sango, what perverted thoughts?"

"Ugh..." Sango groaned.

The new guy sat in front of Kagome, his black hair was tied into a pony tail and boy, Kagome at first thought he was a girl.

"The name is Koga," he said turning around giving Kagome a lop sided grin.

"Kagome," she said shaking his hand. Kagome heard the growling got even louder, some one must be very annoyed.

Koga winked at her,"Careful there. It seems you let your dog off the leash."

Kagome laughed nervously and pulled her hand back. Koga turned back around to face the front of the class. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha who had a bothered look, he fidgeted as he floated in the air with his hands tucked into his haori. His eyes constantly twitched every now and then annoyed with the said, 'mangy wolf.'

The day passed rather quickly as the group walked to Kagome's home. After the attack, they worked on rebuilding the shrine. Subsequently, all the damage was no where to be found and not a minute later, Kagome's family returned. They saw the home was destruction-free and that saved Kagome from all the trouble.

"Inuyasha, what has gotten into you?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha grumbled all the way towards her home. Miroku and Sango were walking behind them. "Nothing wench," Inuyasha snapped at her and continued on.

"Was it because of Koga? Inuyasha, i just met the guy you don't expect me to like him do you?" Kagome questioned him. There was no answer coming from him. "So you do think so. Inuyasha, there won't be anything going on. You are just being jealous," she told him.

"Keh, like I'll ever be jealous. What is there to be jealous of?" Inuyasha said firmly.

"Oh really, then I guess I should say yes to that date Koga-kun asked me," Kagome said as she crossed her arms, annoyed with the way he was acting.

"W-What! He asked you out! You are not going out with him you hear me wench. Like hell! I'll kick his wolf ass if he ever comes close to you," Inuyasha bursted as he turned to face her.

Kagome was flabbergasted, she has never seen him act the way he did now before. "Inuyasha," she whispered.

"So," Miroku clapped his hands once getting their attention,"When's the wedding?" Miroku asked out loud.

"This is hardly the time for your idiot questions," Sango said pulling him by his ponytail.

"Ow. Sango..ow, ow. Not, not the hair," Miroku said as the taijiya pulled him away from the two.

Kagome shook her head with her hand on her cheek. "Kagome," Inuyasha said with his bangs hiding his eyes.

"Y-yeah," she said with an unease tone.

"You aren't going to go out with him are you?"

Kagome smiled a little and let out a sigh,"I was never interested in the guy. Don't worry." Inuyasha looked at her and his face had a relaxed expression.

Inuyasha pulled her into a hug, startling her. "I'm glad."

"So what shall we do Naraku?" Kagura questioned as she stood by her desk.

"Absolutely nothing. He only has forty days left," Naraku retorted.

"Forty. Isn't that a bother to you?" Kagura asked as she flicked her fan to give her self some air. And to get rid of the smell of death from that girl who was too close into finding out.

"Not at all Kagura. Not at all."

Author's Note:

-x-

This chapter may have been a little rushed and the shortest chapter of all. Pardon me for that. I was losing my train of thought when I was rudely interrupted with all the construction outside my home. It was an early wake up call, when they began working at six in the morning, when I don't have any more school. My head is going to spin off my head in a few days if this continues. Okay then, I'll update later in the week. Matta ne!

Yours truly,

Fallen :)
