Chapter One - Goodbye
By Patche
Disclaimer – I do not own Inuyasha. Sadly, enough… I just get to enjoy playing with it's characters.
Summary – After Kagome is dumped by her boyfriend of nine months; her best friend, Inuyasha, decides the best way of getting him back is making him jealous. So, they both agree to keep it completely friendly and fake a relationship to make her ex jealous. However, the plan begins to fail when the two fall for each other.

Kagome Higurashi is… hrm… I have no idea where to even start with this one. Amazing? Beautiful? So incredible? Indescribable by all means? That one works. Kagome Higurashi is… indescribable by all means. She's always been… ever since we first met…
We were neighbors for the longest time but we didn't actually ever even speak to each other until seventh or eighth grade when she stuck up for me while I was getting picked on for my dog-ears.
See, there was this mean kid named Kenji and he just couldn't be happy unless he made me feel like shit for my weird appearances, which were only due to my half-demon genetics. So, as I was being pushed around… that little angel came over and told Kenji that he had better watch who he made fun of or else it would catch up with him later. I don't know why, but that boy suddenly took off running from her. I guess she seemed scary to the rest of the world with her cute pigtails and huge eyes. It was a funny scene, but a little pathetic that a boy of my stature needed to have girls stand up for him. Ever since that day, we had been inseparable.
Anyway, back to the subject. Kagome Higurashi… from that day on had stolen my heart. I would never revile it to her of course. In fact, I find it very much so easier to just act like she doesn't mean shit to me. Of course, that's a little off.
See, things were great between us. I even had every intention of dating her at some point in high school… but then he showed up. Kouga Ookami. The coolest kid in school. Kagome was his tutor in Geometry and he ended up "falling in love" with her. I could see through that bullshit though. He had this dream of conquering a girl from every clique in the whole school. Kagome was the representative for the "artsy fartsy" crowd. It sickened me to think that he could honestly view Kagome like that.
Well, as you could probably tell… they ended up dating. And I was completely pushed aside. Kagome would make plans with me, then Kouga would make plans at the same time and he is more important than I am, obviously. Sometimes Kagome would be stubborn, though, and I'd have the honor of tagging along on their lovely little dates. I guess those were the times when I honestly knew I was in love with her. Watching him kiss her or touch her… it sickened me.
But the worst part of it all is the way he hurts her. He will do something like 'accidentally' kiss another girl for five hours, call her and apologize… and Kagome will just take him back like it was no big deal. But then, she'll call me. She'd call me crying and telling me how much she hates him for doing it. But heaven forbid she should dump him, right?
It's such a sad situation, I guess. My feelings for Kagome will probably always remain unknown. Well, only known to you, I guess.
-Inuyasha
Inuyasha smiled at his handy work and pulled out a picture of a raven-haired, hazel-eyed, pale but beautiful girl from his wallet and taped it at the top of the journal page. He closed the book and dropped it on the floor beside his bed before looking out the window to see Kouga's truck pulling into Kagome's driveway. He watched closely.

Kouga and Kagome had gone on a date that night. Kouga pulled up to Kagome's house in his black pickup truck and turned to her in the passenger seat. Kagome shook him off as he began to nibble her ear.
"Kouga, quit!" She finally shouted. He scowled.
"What the hell, Kagome? Why've you been so weird all night?" He asked. She sighed and shook her head.
"I'm not in the mood for you trying to get in my pants tonight. I've already told you, I don't have any intentions of sleeping with you at any point in high school." She said. Kouga rolled his eyes.
"Kagome, you know that's not all I want from you…" He whispered, leaning in to kiss her. Kagome scoffed.
"Bullshit, Kouga! Look, I talked to your fucking bimbo ex today…" She said. Kouga shook his head.
Inuyasha watched their exchanges. Kagome must have found out about him cheating on her…again. He sighed and pulled himself out of bed to prepare for consoling the broken Kagome.
"What does that mean?" He asked. Kagome sighed and bit her lip.
"You slept with Ayame last weekend?" She asked exasperated. Kouga's eyes widened. He was completely taken aback. Ayame was his girlfriend just before Kagome. He had slept with her; he wouldn't try to deny it…
"Kagome, I…" He started. Kagome shook her head as tears began to fall.
"I just wish you could tell me these things, Kouga… I mean, I wish I wouldn't have to find out from your ex girlfriend!" She shouted, letting the tears fall. Kouga felt angered by her.
"Well maybe I don't trust you!" He shouted. Kagome gasped. "Maybe I trust Ayame more than you!"
"What are you saying…?" Kagome asked, trailing off at the last part. Kouga slammed his fist on the dashboard, causing Kagome to jump.
Inuyasha was now fully dressed and out of the house, standing on his porch. He watched with amazement at how Kouga treated her when he didn't think Inuyasha was around.
"I love Ayame." He said quietly. "I thought I loved you, but I guess not. Ayame gives me what I need… something you can't." Kouga said harshly to Kagome. She sat there, shocked by his words. He leaned over her and opened her door up for her.
"I'm done with you, Kagome." He said. "Goodnight." Kagome let out a sob and got out of the car as quickly as she could. Kouga grabbed her door handle and slammed the door shut before speeding off into the night. Kagome watched him drive off just as Inuyasha started walking over to her. Once Kouga was out of sight, Kagome wrapped her arms around her stomach and fell to her knees, sobbing.
Inuyasha felt a pang in his heart as he watched Kagome fall… without Kouga… he walked over to her, to try and help. Kagome gasped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Inuyasha staring down at her with soft, sympathetic eyes.
"I'm sorry…" He said kneeling down. Kagome choked on her sobs.
"Y… you heard?" She asked. Inuyasha nodded. Kagome sobbed again. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around her and rested her head against his shoulder. They sat there as Kagome cried and cried over what had just happened. She had been dumped… by a guy who cheated on her. The very thought made her more hysterical. They two of them sat there for almost an hour, not saying a word. Inuyasha knew nothing needed to be said. Kagome just needed him there. Well, maybe she didn't, but he felt useful.
Once her sobbing had quieted, Inuyasha spoke in a hushed tone.
"I'm sorry, Kagome… you don't deserve that." Inuyasha whispered, turning to kiss her forehead. Kagome had calmed down by that point and her sobs had turned into nothing but heavy breathing.
"Inu…yasha…" she began. He responded with a 'hmm'.
"Can you stay with me?" She asked. Inuyasha nodded and stood up. He bent down and picked Kagome up bridal style and carried her into her house. He walked up the creaky steps to her bedroom where he set her on the bed. Inuyasha tucked her in and was relieved to hear her light snoring. He plopped himself down in a chair beside her bed and fell asleep there.

an: Okay… first chapter alright? This is my first fan fiction so please… don't be too harsh. The rest of the story will pick up soon. I just had to get all this out of the way. Also, yes… 'Accidentally in love' is a song, I know who it's by. This story doesn't really go along with the song, but I thought the title of the song fit.
So please review if you liked it. More will be up soon. I'd love a lot of reviews though… that would be so nice. So even if you didn't like it, at least tell me what I can do better please.
Love always,
Patche
