standing there

Inuyasha threw his bookbag into a plush armchair and sank into the sofa next to it. “Inuyasha!” a stern voice reprimanded, “what did I say about throwing things around? You’re making a mess!” Inuyasha grinned, recognizing the female voice immediately. “feh.” He humphed, knowing that this irritated Kagome to no end. She stormed into the room and stood in front of him, her eyes blazing. “What did you say?!”.

Inuyasha simply pouted, extending his lower lip and giving her the puppy eyes. Even Kagome couldn’t resist the puppy dog look. She relaxed and sighed, “Whatever. How was school?”. Inuyasha shook his head, “I’m going to rip every single one of them apart.”. Kagome frowned, “I don’t know why I bother having a conversation with you when you’re always so morbid.”. Inuyasha laughed and gave her a peck on the cheek. “That’s why you love me so much. It adds to my mystique.”. Kagome gave a very unladylike snort, “I doubt that.”. Inuyasha just smiled and stood up, “I’ve got to go grade some stupid papers.”
Kagome looked up and frowned, “ on the first day of school?”

“It’s punishment for all the kids who decided to pass notes, pop their gum, talk in class, gi-“
Inuyasha started

“OK ok I get it. Rough day. Have fun. My mom made us some sushi, we’re eating that for dinner.” Kagome cut across him.

“ no ramen?” Inuyasha pouted again.

“Maybe tomorrow. If you’re good.” Kagome giggled and sashayed into the kitchen. Inuyasha just chuckled and heaved up his bag.

Two hours later, Inuyasha was fuming again. Half of every single paper was wrong. The damn 9th graders couldn’t even multiply. 3x2 was NOT 5. Come on, this was elementary math! If they couldn’t multiply it meant that they didn’t know how to do any of the problems that involved it. Inuyasha rubbed his temples with his knuckles and growled with frustration. He jerked the next paper out of his bag with ferocity and set to correcting it.

Inuyasha shook his head, he must be getting tired. This person had gotten everything right including the extra credit problem that he himself barely could get. He checked the name in the corner. Kikyo. Her handwriting was just as cold and precise as she was. Inuyasha frowned over the resemblance between her and his girlfriend. In beauty terms, Kikyo would be considered more beautiful than Kagome but Inuyasha preferred Kagome.

Kikyo’s beauty was aristocratical, a cold beauty that had been carved from ice. She was the winter queen. Kagome on the other hand, was formed from water. Carefree and free running, she was as warm as Kikyo was cold. Kikyo struck a chord deep within Inuyasha that he wished had never existed. She reminded him so much those people who had treated him like crap when he was a kid. She was cold and aloof and the only emotion that he had seen flit across her face was disgust. It reminded him so much of the demon he hated to no end, Sesshomaru. But even so, Inuyasha was surprised that he didn’t feel any negative feelings toward the girl.

He wondered what had made her that way though, she wasn’t rich. That much was apparent from the second hand books she carried. Who had created that icy fortress around the girl’s heart? Inuyasha sighed, he didn’t know why she intrigued him so much though. He suddenly grinned, he wanted to see what the emotionless girl would do when the football jock carried out the bet that he had with his teammates. He wanted to see if there would be any emotion on her face as she beat the crap out of him or if she wouldn’t do anything at all.

“Inuyasha?” Inuyasha turned around and choked. Kagome stood at the doorway, dressed up in a lingerie getup. She blushed, then smirked then walked over him. As her hands contacted with his thighs and stroked higher, all thoughts of Kikyo were completely driven out of his mind.
