I sit and listen to the music as I wait for him to finally get on IM. My mind wanders over all the memories we had shared trying to find were it all fell apart and how it came to where I couldn't trust him at all. But for you to understand it, I'll have to go back the beginning. Were our life first began, were we first learned to love.

-Three years earlier-

"Kagome, are you ready to go?" My mom called up the stairs.

"Coming Mom!" I yelled back, taking one last look in the mirror. Even though I didn't like where we were going, I still wanted to look my best. A pink tank top, beige shorts, and a rose necklace. Causal summer fun! I left my ebony hair loose and slipped on my white sandals. I grabbed my mp3 player and ran downstairs.

"You look lovely dear, I can barely you're 15 already!" Mom gushed. I gave her a half smile and headed to the mini-van.

"Smile dear, Ayumi will be glad to see you and Sota must be bored with summer camp by now." Mom said. I was excited to see my pen pal again, and yes even excited to have my annoying little brother back, but that's not what was worrying me. As we pulled out into the street I saw someone waving, I looked at Hojo, my secret crush and best friend. I waved back. "Darling?" I turned to look at Mom's puzzled expression, for a moment I fear she was worried about Hojo. Oh no! "Um yea?" I asked.

"I asked if you were excited to meet him?" I groaned inside.

"Oh yea! Of course!" I said faking a smile.

-In reality I was anything but, mad mostly, but also scared. Mom thought he would be perfect for me, I thought it was a nightmare. And of course he had to be Sota's counselor for summer camp so Mom thought it was a perfect time to meet him!-

We pulled in the driveway of my pen pal Ayumi. The black haired blue eyed girl rushed out to meet me. Did I mention that she already know him and lived in the same city as him an hour from me! As soon as I was out of the van she wrapped me in a bear hug.

"He's inside" She whispered. I groaned into her curly hair.

"Just ignore him!" Ayumi advised. As we entered the house, I scanned the room. There he is I greeted Ayumi's mom and went over to Sota and HIM. Ayumi was right beside me, shooting him the evil eye. I found out later that was common for those two.

"Hey Sota. How was camp?" I asked, smiling sweetly. "great sis! We had so much fun, didn't we Inuyasha?" Sota cried looking at the silver haired hanyou.

"Sure did bud." He ruffled Sota's hair in almost a brotherly way. How sweet I thought and nearly chocked on the fact that I was thinking something nice of the guy who was gonna ruin my life, even though it wasn't his fault. I wanted to blame someone!

"So you must be Kagome." Inuyasha said, turning his golden eyes to me. I smiled, trying to ignore the fact that he looked me up and down.

"And you're Inuyasha, pleased to meet you." I smiled, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. "Yea, everyone is!" His mouth formed a cocky little smile that set my teeth on edge. Everything about his posture screamed COCKY at me, and if there is one thing I couldn't stand it was cocky guys! Happy feeling was long gone! "I've no idea why!" I said back, yea that's right I went there. His smile faltered for a second, and then we were off! Throwing insults at each other like it was the most natural thing in the world, like we were like best friends! EW! I could have swore I could Ayumi laughed, and Sota's mouth I'm sure had dropped to the floor, but I wasn't done yet, I was gonna show HIM who he was messin with. "Ya know you're kinda snotty, and uppity, what's wrong world ain't good enough for ya?" Inuyasha snapped. I smiled and gave him a flirty little shrug. Oh yea I had this in the bag! "I'm a class all my own boy." I turned, grabbed Ayumi and marched off. Kagome:1 Inuyasha:0 As we walked off I could hear Sota say "I've never seen her like this, I don't know what's wrong with her!" I couldn't help but laugh! This was turning out to be fun!

Soon after Mom told me we were heading out to lunch and Inuyasha would have to ride with us, since his parents decided to meet us there. I was ready to die! ME RIDE WITH HIM! NO! Ayumi patted me on the back, "It can't be so bad, it's a ten-minute drive to WacDonald's" I grimaced, she laughed at my face, and walked to her car. I slowly made my way over to the mini-van, Inuyasha was already there, leaning against it, that he own the dang thing. But ya know he is kinda cute, whoa slow down, not another thought like that! I placed a scowl on my features, and opened the back door. Sota was already buckled and yakking to Inuyasha through the open door. I know it's rude, but I slid the door shut in his face. He silently opened the passenger side door, and got in. He turned to say something at me, but the look on my face must have shut him up. I can be very scary at times. He faced forward without a word, once Mom was in, we headed out. Mom, Sota, and Inuyasha talked about everything under the sun, an ever cheerful smile on Mom's face, the ever present scowl on mine. "So Inuyasha, how big is this town?" I groaned inwardly, why did she always ask that? "Well there's 38426 people in it. So yea I guess." He replied. I was surprised, he rattled it off so quickly. I'm bad at numbers so I was impressed I must admit. "Neat you can remember that." I said. Inuyasha turned around with a friendly smile. An invite to friendship. No, I was going to be stubborn, I had my pride I wasn't going to let some hanyou ruin my dreams! I turned to the window without another word.

We pulled into the parking lot, I noticed a couple standing by the door. Inuyasha's parents no doubt. The man was tall, with silver hair like Inuyasha, but the facial features must have come mostly from his mother. Her soft features were a nice contast to the hard eyes given by the father. There was a tall man standing somewhat to the side, with long silver hair, and a purple crescent on his forehead. The jagged purple lines along his face gave him an eerie look. He must the big bro Ayumi told me about I thought. Inuyasha was already out of the van and pulling my door open, as soon I was unbuckled he held out his hand to help me out. A sweet gesture, but no way was I going to take it. I leaped out without even brushing him. Ayumi ran up to me and we ran inside giggling the whole way. Of course I meet his parents Inutashio and Izayoi, they were nice enough, but nothing was going to block our girl time. We sat in a booth near the parents, but far from the boys. Now and then I would sneak glances at Inuyasha but never let him catch me looking. Once I caught him looking at me, and he smiled, I got up and walked away from our table.

All to soon to fit in all our girly fun it was time to leave, We had a long drive ahead of us and Mom hates driving in the dark. I hugged Ayumi goodbye, then turned to Inuyasha's family. Izayoi hugged me. "Bye, stay safe. See you soon ok?" her voice was light and cheerful. I nodded. Sesshomaru his brother shook my hand. Inutashio patted my back. "Nice looking girl, nice to meet you." I trying to keep myself from scowling, "Nice meeting you sir." I said. I turned towards Inuyasha, who was giving Sota a kind of half-man hug, but I could tell his eyes were on me. I walked up to him. "Bye Inuyasha" I hoped I kept my face calm, "Bye Kagome" there was almost a saddnes to his voice. "Bye" I said once more quietly. "Aw that's so cute!" Mom said, "Yes this marriage will work out great!" Izayoi replied/ Yep that was it, that's why I hated him. Our mothers wanted us to marry, even though I had feelings for someone else. We looked at each other, I swear we thought the same thing that moment NO WAY! We parted ways, once in the car I submerged myself in my music and tried to forget a pair of golden eyes. I was sure he would never enter my life again…..

So that's the beginning of it, I'm not sure how long this story will last, but it is based off a true story, so for the most part everything is based off what happens later. R&R thanks! -Kusabana
