Chapter One:

By Kiane

"When all you gotta keep is strong move along, move along, like I know ya do!!!....And even when your hope is gone move along, move along, just to make it through!!!" Kagome sang along dancing in her kitchen while flipping her omelet.

Using the spatula as a microphone she began shaking her head side to side. "Go on, go on, go on go on!!" She yelled before bringing the spatula down and flipping her egg onto her plate.

Yeah this is a typical morning for Kagome. Dancing around her apartment in her underwear screaming to her radio. All was right in the universe.

Kagome noticed her phone was ringing and jogged over turning down her radio system.

"Hello?" she said in a conservative tone.

"Kagome, hey its me." Sango said on the other line.

"Hey what's up?" Kagome said shoving a piece of her omelet into her mouth.

"Are you ready for our first day of Senior year!!" Sango asked.

"Hell yah! I cannot wait to get college out of the way. Then our lives truly begin." Kagome said finishing her breakfast in record time. Now all she had to do was get dressed and put on her makeup.

"Yes. The real corporate world. But yea. Meet me in the Student center at ten?"

"Ten, got it. See you there." Kagome closed her flip phone and stuck it in her bra as she went to place here dishes in the washer.

This was going to be a good day.

Kagome pulled into the parking lot and gathered her things. Looking up she noticed Koga passing by.

"Koga!! Hey!!" she waved and he turned and smiled.

"Hey hot stuff. What's up?" He said walking over and noticed her new car. "Nice mustang, suits you." he said eyeing the navy color.

"Yea, its my 05. My baby." Kagome said proudly and saw the wolf demon frown.

"I thought I was your baby."

Kagome laughed and hit him in the shoulder. They've always played like this since they were kids. "Quit playing and come on. Sango and the crew are waiting at the student center for us."

When they got there everyone was chillin at one of the many tables. They found Sango and the gang and took their usual seats from last year.

They all consisted of Kagome, Kikyo, Sango, Ayame, Miroku, Koga and Hojo.

"Man, I feel great!!" Kagome said with a smile.

"Yea, does that mean you danced around in your underwear again?" Hojo smirked eyeing the shocked female.

"Hojo!! Shut up. You've only seen that one time!!" Kagome defended. She forgot one morning that he Crashed over when he and his girl fought. Sooo yeah...he caught her in her little happy dance...gave her shit for it ever since...

Everyone laughed.

"Bells gonnah ring in a minute, I got the far building so I'm going to go. See you two last hour." Kagome said motioning towards Sango and Miroku.

Everyone else said bye as she walked off.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Kagome walked into a packed class. Amongst the few hundred students she spotted Sango and Miroku. Walking down the isle she made it to their row and took a set next to Sango.

"Hey." she said pulling out her laptop.

"Hey Kags. How'd your day go?" Miroku said.

"Uuuh. Pretty good. I'm just ready to go home." Kagome sighed when the bell rung and the professor walked in and instantly began lecturing.

Kagome sighed and began typing in her notes after about 20 minutes she noticed someone took the seat next to her.

Looking to her right she mentally smirked. He was pretty damn hott.

He had long silver hair golden eyes (which were gorgeous by the way...also meaning he was a demon of course.) he wore baggy blue jeans and a white muscle shirt with matching white airforces. She noticed his ripped arms and chest though his shirt.

'Someone works out.' Kagome thought and turned back to her notes and continued collecting information.

Sesshoumaru saw the female look over him and mentally smirked. She wasn't half bad herself. He liked her long black hair and those ocean blue eyes. She wore a black and pink tank top, a jean mini skirt and pointed boots with at least a three inch heel on them.

Not bad at all...

Pulling out his laptop he began talking notes. He was lucky that he'd even made it to class without getting caught.

If it wasn't for that damn police officer that pulled him over he would have been on time. Jackass gave him a ticket claiming that he was going 110 mph. Sesshoumaru scoffed...Bull shit...

Class went by slow as suspected and within the last half hour the professor dropped the bomb. "Students!! Listen up you will be randomly paired with someone within this class for a project. It will be due a week from now, So I will be emailing you your partner and the assignment in a moment."

Kagome sighed. "Great. Just what I needed on the first day."

Sango smirked. "Yeah, well we mind as well get used to it."

Miroku yawned when he got an email. Opening it he smirked. "Ooooo Sango dear..." he chirped.

Sango got her email and sighed. "Well looks like were partnered up Roku."

Kagome got and email and opened it up. She was partnered with....

"Sesshoumaru..." She whispered mostly to herself. "Who's Sesshoumaru?" she said more loudly.

"I am." she heard a deep voice come from the male sitting next to her. It was really cold and sent a slight shiver up her spine.

"Uh...oh...Nice to meet you...I'm..."

"Kagome Higurashi." He finished reading his email and their assignment.

Silence...

"Riiiiiiight. So how do you want to do this?" Kagome said feeling a little uncomfortable since he barley acknowledged her.

"We have to create a web presentation on International trade. I want to do this and get it over with." Sesshoumaru stated.

"Great, Same here." Kagome said typing in a few last things.

"You'd better know what your doing girl. I don't want to be teamed with an idiot and have to do this alone." Sesshoumaru stated next not taking his eyes from his screen as he typed.

Kagome shot a look at him and her anger flared. "Listen boy." she emphasized the word 'boy'. "First off, if I didn't know what I was doing I wouldn't be here, and second off, don't you dare sit there and try and judge me."

For the first time he turned and looked at her. He studied this female carefully. No women had ever spoken to him like that. It intrigued him, she showed no fear...either brave or incredibly stupid.

"Alright. Be at my place by five." he said emailing her his address.

Kagome didn't back down from his gaze. "Five it is." she said and the bell rang.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Following the address she found herself in the higher upper-class neighborhoods. "So Sesshy lives it up...no wonder he's a spoiled fucker." Kagome muttered as she followed the directions to find a condo on the hills.

Sweat drop.

Getting out of her mustang she walked up to the front door and rung the door bell.

Sesshoumaru was sitting in his living room when he looked up at the clock. It was ten after five.

"The girls late..." he growled rubbing his temples.

Suddenly the sound of the door bell rung in his ears. In one clean motion he got up and walked over to the door. Opening it he glared at Kagome. Clearly annoyed.

"Your late." he spat.

"Well excuse me for not knowing by way around rich town. Now are you going to let me in or are we going to stand like this all afternoon?" Kagome said in a bored manner. She wanted to piss him off. She mentally smirked when he growled and stepped aside to let her in.

Kagome walked in and looked around. The place was simple yet elegant and modern at the same time. "Nice place." she complemented taking a seat on the love seat and moving to set up her laptop.

Sesshoumaru nodded and walked over to sit next to her. Glancing over at her screen he was surprised to see a couple of set ups she'd obviously done.

"What do you think? I got bored and didn't know if you'd written anything yet...so..." Kagome said when she noticed he was looking.

Silence filled the room as he read her ideas. He had to admit they were very good.

"Read mine." he said turning his screen to face her.

Kagome read over his and pouted. His were really good. Some better than hers. Though of course but she will never admit it.

"Those are good." she said simply.

"Lets get started."

"Right."

It was going on Ten and they managed to get five pages done.

Kagome yawned slightly before pulling her hair into a messy bun.

"Now that we have the general information done the rest should fly by no problem."

Sesshoumaru nodded. "Indeed. I guess you were useful after all."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "I guess you have a brain behind that spoiled ass attitude of yours."

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at her comment. Just as he was about to respond Kagome's phone began to vibrate across the table.

She reached over and picked it up.

"Give me the latest...great...yea invest into that stalk and then up the other okay?...alright you too...bye." Kagome hung up and smiled. "Yes!!" she said bouncing slightly in her seat.

Once again today this strange female surprised him. "You manage stalks?"

"Yeah...been doing it for as long as I can remember. My Father taught me everything I know. He owned the stalk world." Kagome smiled at the happy memory.

Higurashi...that sounded familiar...

"Your Father...was he 'the' Tonimaru Higurashi?" Sesshoumaru asked. With her nod he noticed that he was sitting with the stalks most successful man's daughter. The man he idolized.

Tonimaru Higurashi died in a horrific car accident and Mrs. Higurashi passed away just a few years ago due to cancer. So she must of taken her fathers place. All she had left was her younger brother Souta who is living it up in America playing pro baseball for the New York Yankees.

"Well, I should be getting back to my place. Its late." Kagome said packing up all her things.

"I'll work on another proposal tonight and show you tomorrow in class." Sesshomaru said watching her.

"Okay. But I cannot say the same. I'm beat, but yea...see you tomorrow. I'll let myself out." Kagome smiled standing and walking to the front door.

Sesshoumaru heard the door open and shut, next the sound of her car pulling from his driveway.
