Blessed be the people who still follow me despite my erratic updates. But thank you everyone who takes the time to read this, know that all of you make my heart go doki doki haha. Let's do this again, My Love Story style!

INUYASHA x Ore Monagatari! (My Love Story!)

Chapter 1: No means no, not really.

No.

Kagome Higurashi absolutely did not want to go. Was it so hard to go through High School as nondescript as possible? She had enough drama, love, adventures, action during her Middle School years. The modern-day Miko's plan for the future was simple. To survive High School without any interruption. Or at least that was what she had a particular Demon Lord promise her.

Just a year ago, she had completed the story of a lifetime and was back home. And before the loneliness and heart ache could settle in the face of a closing door behind her, she had been swept up by a familiar, yet unfamiliar, Taiyoukai and an older Shippo. She could still recall the shock and gratefulness that shook her as she wept in the arms of her very grown-up kit. She had missed so much and could already see all the change.

But one thing that didn't seem to soften with age was Sesshomaru's blunt personality. Frankly, he immediately set to have her attend the most prestigious of academies and come to work for him.

To which he had received a firm NO.

Now that she looked back, Kagome realized she did get away with quite a bit. To his credit the Demon Lord did not move, let alone blink as the Priestess exploded into a tirade regarding her plan for a normal high-school and college experience. And wasn't about to let him, or anyone get in the way of that.

Much to a particular red-head's amusement.

So, all in all Kagome considered herself a strong individual. And did not think she did so bad in raising a kit, who was in turn able to grow up into a quite handsome man in her absence. The Miko was a master at resisting the age-old puppy-dog look.

And yet.

Her own azure eyes strained, struggling to withstand the large, doe-like chestnut eyes pointed her way.

Dear Kami, were they quivering?

The raven-haired girl by nature could not help but want to befriend all the people she met at her High School. But for the sake of making through High School without the strain of getting close to someone to the point of exposing the secrets she held, she decided to keep a good arm's distance from the other girls. And surprisingly, of all the girls that she had befriended at Koizumi Girls' Academy, who knew it would be Rinko Yamato that gave her the most trouble. She, from day one, seemed to make it her personal mission to involve Kagome in everything from breaks to baking sessions at her apartment. So it was no surprise, Kagome developed a soft spot for Rinko.

And the petite girl had requested to speak with Kagome after class regarding a personal matter. Apparently Rinko had been saved by a Knight in shining armor and had been attempting to relay her feelings to him. But to the meek girl's frustration, he didn't seem to pick up on her cues and instead kept pushing her towards his friend. And now the brunette wanted to speak with Takeo Gouda's best friend regarding her intention.

Unfortunately that's where her courage seemed to run out and now Rinko was requesting Kagome to go with her for support. Which startled the Miko, she did not think the smaller girl trusted her that much. At that thought, Kagome felt a growing fondness for her classmate.

She felt for Rinko and definitely did not want the defenseless girl to go to a stranger's house alone.

"Rinko-chan," She started gently, pausing as the brunette grabbed her own hands in a tight grip.

The pleading in said girl's eyes then changed into sadness, to heartbreak.

"Kagome-chan, I-I...I really like him. A-And I don't k-know what to do anym-more," Rinko whispered, her voice breaking as tears began rolling down her reddened cheeks.

Kagome immediately pulled her friend into a warm embrace, feeling her own heart ache and give in as Rinko cried harder into her sweater.

The Time Traveling Priestess supposed if there was anyone else she'd let into her life in this era, it would be Rinko Yamato. It wouldn't hurt to help someone else find their happily ever after. Besides, tt was not like she was expected to be any more involved after helping Rinko with this one thing, right? Right?
