With a smile in place, Kagome could only roll her eyes as Sam's words rang around her ears. Sure she wasn't happy either, when she heard when she missed a final without an excuse or doctors note that she would be making up the entire class, but it was only the one class.

Unlike her, Sam now had a girlfriend. As she promised, she paid up on her 'I owe you' to Sam, by hooking him up with Mikaela. When she had mentioned of getting sick of Trent's... well of Trent in general. So, vouching for Sam, Kagome set them up on a date and the two hit off pretty well.

"Sam, stop complaining. What's a couple of hours during the week?"

"A pain in the neck!"

"It's a good thing you have Mikaela then, she's good with her hands. Unless you already discovered that yourself." Kagome shrugged, snickering at the blushes they were wearing.

"Kagome... you've changed these past couple of weeks. What gives?" Mikaela narrowed her eyes as best she could on the other girl.

In fact both her and Sam. Her boyfriend still bumbled about, but he was honest and his stumbling was rather cute and it didn't hurt when she was the reason that he could think or speak straight. It was a nice ego boost. But back to the two of them. They both came to school, a few days too late for their finals looking like hell and grudgingly accepted summer courses to make up for the one class.

Sam was a little more... mature, more so than the rest of the school, but he still had that boyish charm about him. Kagome, she matured as well, but she... Mikaela couldn't put her finger on it.

"Oh... you know, things happened that opened my eyes and changed my life." Kagome threw the girl a smirk.

"Vague, Kagome, very vague."

Kagome shrugged her shoulders once again as she spun about and began walking backwards. "I know. But doesn't it add a bit of mystery? And Sam isn't complaining! Well, other than the fact that we're attending summer courses that is."

Sam smiled as he looked down at Mikaela. Getting hooked up with her had not been what he expected as payback from Kagome, but like she said, he wasn't complaining. Reaching out, he could smile all the more, catching the look that Kagome sent him with a smirk, when Mikaela instinctively weaved her fingers through his own.

They continued the conversation as they headed towards the parking lot, all members so engrossed that they didn't see what was waiting for them.

"...isn't his mother just so nice though?!" Kagome snickered at the blush Sam was sporting while Mikaela chuckled lightly.

"Yeah she really is. Easily excitable though."

"Oh, don't I know-!" Kagome squeaked and stumbled forward after she ran into something. Grumbling under her breath, she soothed the back of her head, more out of habit than out of pain. "Thanks guys, don't warn me or anything."

"Hey, you were the one walking backwards." Sam piped up, smiling at the 'glare' Kagome sent his way, if it could be called that.

She stuck out her tongue at the boy before turning around to continue walking back to Bee, only to pause when she caught sight of what she bumped into. Blinking wide eyes, she stared at a very well toned chest beneath a faded yellow t shirt.

Fingers still tangled in her hair, she finally managed to drag her eyes upwards. First a chin, bearing a light stubble that was framed by a slightly angular jawline. Continuing upwards, she took in a set of masculine lips and unconsciously licked her own. Hastily, she tore her eyes away, and followed a straight nose up to gray blue eyes that watched her with amusement. But she could also make out a nervousness.

She quickly took in his short dark blond hair that was gelled in the front. All in all, he was hot, she wasn't afraid to admit that much. Mature with a boyish charm, somewhere between 20 and 30.

"I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention." she rubbed the back of her head one more time before dropping it uselessly at her side. She was very much aware of the two set of eyes behind her.

"It's alright, I'm used to it by now."

Her brows furrowed slightly as she tried to interpret his words. Either he was talking about how womens attention span zeroed in on him, or... Sure she had clumsy moments, but unless he was a stalker, he wouldn't, shouldn't, know about that.

"...okay."

"You're not hurt are you?"

"More surprised really." she leaned a bit to the side, and looked towards where Bee was sitting. Pursing her lips, she remember the last time Trent got near the Autobot... the boy was still limping and a few pitches higher than normal.

Eyes flew up when the man in front of her leaned in the same direction so that they were once again eye to eye.

"Everything alright?"

"Fine! Perfectly fine! But busy, very, very busy!" she didn't want to know what sort of act Bee would pull, he was very... protective, with high doses of territorial.

"You were just saying how bored you were with how much free time you had."

Closing her eyes, she straightened her posture and quickly shot a look at Sam. He still had his own moments it seemed. But he quickly caught on with the quick jab Mikaela gave him.

"So... I'm gonna go now-"

"You don't recognize me?"

Blinking at the sudden and unexpected question, Kagome leaned back as if he had just invaded her personal space. Going over his question, she took in his form again, trying to recall where and when they could have met.

Appearance wise, she was sure she would remember meeting someone like him. Who wouldn't? But sadly, she was drawing a blank. But his personality and the way he held himself... she just couldn't put her finger on it.

"...no?" she hated the fact that it sounded more like a question than actual fact.

And then suddenly he was in her space, she tried to lean back and away from him, but he was taller than her and easily kept up with her. Sam and Mikaela shifted uncomfortably in the background strangled voices unsure of what to say or do.

He leaned down to press his brow against her own causing her to squeak yet again. The man was crazy and had no regards to boundaries. She pursed her lips when a hand cupped her cheek. Counting to ten, she mentally prepared herself to scream to the high heavens if he didn't let her go soon. She also prayed that Bee wouldn't...

When he opened his eyes, her thoughts came to a sudden halt. They were glowing, and she didn't mean in a sort of sappy love sort of way. No, more like how the Autobots and how their eyes glowed blue.

"Wha..."

He smiled, white teeth flashing and her brain turned to mush at the sight of dimples. "From your expression, you know."

She leaned back again, taking in the black streaked yellow camaro still where she parked it last. Taking a step back she eyed the... male before her with furrowed brows. "I'm seeing..."

"Still having trouble believing?"

"No. Understanding how." as if it would answer all her questions, she poked him in his chest dead center.

Her finger met with solid muscle, a small voice in the back of her head blubbering on how solid. Ignoring the voice, she poked him again, still highly confused how a being could actually be in two places at once.

"Kagome?"

Face smoothing out, the tip of her finger still pressed against a solid mass and not falling through a hologram or hallucination, she turned towards Sam.

"This is Bee."

Ah, the universe must be having a roaring laugh over her at this moment. Mikaela looked completely lost, as she didn't know anything about the Autobots, Decepticons and all that. Sam on the other hand gave her a look that all but scream 'are you mental?'.

Turning to Mikaela, mechanically introducing the somehow human version of her car, she did just that. "This is Bee."

Turning to the solid mass still pressed against the tip of her finger, she looked him dead in the eye. "You are Bee."

He gave her a blinding smile, amused at her reactions for sure as well as glad that the fact had finally settled in her brain.

"Bee?"

Kagome canted her head to the side slightly, brows once again slightly furrowed when she pressed her hand flushed to his chest. Instead of a beating heart, it felt more like a purring engine.

"As in Bumble Bee." she absently answered the question, unsure at the moment if it had been Sam or Mikaela that had asked.

"You don't remember him, but you nicknamed him bumble bee?"

"No. As in Bumble Bee... my car."

"You nicknamed your car bumblebee?" Kagome didn't get a chance to reply when Mikaela quickly spoke up again. "Why did you name your car?"

"He told me that was his name." she was now taking in the details of his face.

"Your car is a him? Most usually refer a car to females, but you've taken to yours more like one would to a pet." a sigh from Mikaela could be heard, her voice sounded like an odd mix of amusement and exasperation.

At that comment, Bee's smirk turned playful and screamed trouble. "Well what do you say, I've been a good boy. Do I get my treat?"

His arms wrapped around her waist, drawing her closer to him.

"This is so... unexpected and out of this world." Kagome mumbled under her breath, knowing full well that Bee could hear her.

"That I am. And to think, I'm all yours, master!"

She scowled up at him when Mikaela let out shocked gasp at his words. Now the girl was most likely going to think she was a dominatrix or something like that. But all she got from Bee was amusement and laughter, at her expense.

"You're going to tell me how this is possible."

"Planned on it." he was smiling that white tooth smile again, her eyes narrowed.

"I'll be keeping an eye on you."

His smile once again turned playful, the arms around her waist tightened. "Wouldn't have it any other way. Don't forget your hands, I wouldn't mind another rub down sometime soon."

At Sam's shocked questioning and Mikaela cheering her on, Kagome let her head drop forward, only too happy that her hair blocked out the rest of the world from seeing her flaming face. Muttering under her breath, she gave up on trying to see or think what the future now held for her as of that moment.

"Evil... pure evil."
