This is my first fic so don't flame me too harshly. I know the plot
is currently rather odd but it'll get better I promise.
Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters. I only own a few AMV's and episode 101. If I did own him I would hug him and squeeze him and glomp him all to pieces! Plus, I would be a much happier little college kid.
And on with the story.

Kouga was crazy. And not just any crazy, he was obsessive crazy and manic- depressive crazy. Not just because he was a teenage wolf demon, because when everything didn't turn out the way that his things had been planned he got all wiggy. It had always been that way though, ever since she dumped him during their freshman year of high school.
'Maybe this was all my fault. ' Kagome thought as she was contemplating the past 4 years of her life, 'no. my friends are right. I just fell for the wrong guy at the wrong time.'
But the problem was this: she loved Kouga. She would probably always love Kouga because that's just the way that she was. When Kagome loved a person, she loved them unconditionally no matter what their fault. This explained why she had gone back to him so many times during their high school careers.
"Well the first time we broke up was definitely my fault," Kagome said to herself, "I was quite the hormone driven freshman (A/N: we all know how that is), and since girls supposedly mature faster than boys . well there you go. But still. to not even want to kiss me in public after a month of dating is just too much, and thus ended the first time. Though I wonder why he stayed my friend for so long afterward."
A lot of the time, Kouga was not a terrible guy- er - demon. He'd been there to console her and take care of her every time she had a bad fight with her mother or any of her family members. For all of this Kagome was very grateful and after a failed relationship with some guy named Hojo (who later married her best friend Eri) and a few more boyfriend mistakes, Kouga seemed like the perfect dating candidate for a mild mannered boyfriend and by the Christmas of junior year they were an item again. Kouga had even become more protective and seemed to have matured quite a bit since he was now no longer afraid to show public displays of affection and let basically the whole world know that Kagome was "His woman." (A/N: sounds more like the Kouga we know ne?)
Then by the beginning of senior year they were not just any item, they were the ideal item and relationship example of "perfection" for their entire group of friends. Kagome basically had him wrapped around her finger to the extent of making him dress like Raggedy Andy for Halloween. People were even taking bets on when Kouga would get up the guts to ask her to marry him.
Unfortunately by December of their senior year, Kagome's home relations had gotten much worse because her mother and grandfather were not taking her choice of life occupation well. Kagome wanted to be something in the world of doctors, while her mother wanted her to follow tradition and be the shrine priestess. So one night after a particularly large screaming match and Kouga was no where to be found, Kagome's upset led her to a rather large bottle of sake. 20 minutes later, a now rather drunk Kagome found herself balling her eyes out at her best friend Eri's house. Now Eri, who was particularly not fond of Kouga, or any demon for that matter, invited her husband's completely human friend over to watch the "Tenth Kingdom" marathon with her, Kagome, and Hojo. Well one thing led to another and soon no one was watching the movie, and instead of a movie marathon it turned out to be a make out marathon. Kagome woke the next morning with her first ever hangover and the largest guilt complex anyone had ever seen. Eri, on the other hand, couldn't have been more pleased and believed it "served him right for not being around in Kagome's hour of need" and that he was "probably screwing around with that Kikyo girl anyway. his friend my ass."
Oddly enough, even after their breakup, Kouga insisted on sitting at the same table as Kagome and continued being her good friend (a good friend who got jealous at the mention of any other male's name). Well with this sign of good faith, Kagome apologized profusely. Kouga took her back only to trash her a week later when he said he "couldn't deal with the thought that Kagome might cheat on him again (because he wanted his woman to be all his) and that it was better this way because he was starting to have feelings for Kikyo anyway. And wouldn't they just be better off as friends?"
Kagome reluctantly accepted this proposal and tried to no avail to completely get over him. See the problem is that Kouga's version of being friends was the same as being boyfriend and girlfriend except that there was no physical contact. And he was still the same jealous crazed demon every time poor Kagome showed any interest in anyone else. Hence the problem and no solution since he insisted on being near her every moment that Kikyo was not present.
This went in for the rest of Kagome's senior year making it less than memorable, not to mention the mess she still had to endure while at home, so in the mean time Kagome made plans to get the hell out of Japan.
