Chapter One

An Eventful Day

Well today sure was an eventful day now wasn't? Kagome mused to herself while she was brushing her hair in front of the mirror. It had began to rain on her. The sun was out and shining birhgtly then clouds appeared and drowned the sunlight out. She wasn't even prepared for what happened next! Thunder and Lightning came fast. She ran towards the closest store that was open, considering how early she ws out. That's when she spotted Miroku. She ran towards him quickly and at a faster pace. She finally called out to him before he got into his car. Miroku looked up at her in a confused state. Apprently he wasn't expecting anybody, but then his face lightened up and he smiled.

"Miroku! Do you mind giving me a lift?" Kagome pleaded to him.

Miroku smiled his devilish smile. "Well sure but as long as you give me some type of payment!"

"Miroku! You shouldn't say such things!"

"Alright get in, get in!" Apprently the big wind gusting upon him made him cold and he was ready to hop on in the car! And so they did hop right on in and off they went.

This is the weird next part I was thinking about today. Kagome sighed as she remembered next.

"So Kagome how're things with you?" Miroku asked quietly.

Kagome just stared at him then answered. "I'm doing just fine why?"

"Well cause I was wondering if you found a boyfriend yet?"

Kagome got a little suspicious. "No, why?"

"You sure do ask why a lot." Miroku smiled at her. "Well truth is my friend, Inuyasha, is very much interested in meeting you. I talk to him a lot about you. He has been looking for a new girlfriend so I figured I'd take the opportunity to tell him about you! He knows what you look like, too! I have a picture of us in my phone, remember that picture we took at Sango's birthday party last year?" Miroku smiled upon that interesting day

"Yes so you're setting me up on a blind date while the guy already knows a lot about me?" She asked harshly.

Miroku put on his innocent face. "I didn't mean for it to happen! One day he was talking about needing a new girlfriend and I was talking about you and Sango needing a boyfriend. So he asked to see a picture of the two of you and he liked you. Which I bet it's because you look like his Ex Girlfriend Kikyo."

"Oh the guy already likes me because I look like his ex? NO WAY! I don't want a guy like that. So forget him."

"Oh well I didn't know that's how you would look at it. Well actually I should have known better! We have been best friends since 5th grade!" Miroku smiled. They arrived to Kagome's house. Miroku pulled something from out of his wallet and handed it to Kagome.

"What's this?" Kagome asked.

"That's Inuyasha's number. You should contact him soon! Talk and get to know each other. So no I wasn't setting you up on a blind date." Miroku smirked. Kagome got out and shut the door and Miroku rolled the window down. It had finally quit raining.

"See you later and good you actually didn't set me up for once! Like I said I don't think I should be wasting my time on this guy!"

"Oh you sure about that?" Miroku winked at her and he drove off. Kagome blinked in surprise and just shurgged it off. She walked into the house and now here she was. Sitting here in her room alone like usual...

Maybe talking to this Inuyasha guy would be better then talking to Sango or to Miroku... "Miroku." Kagome sighed. She got up to go find her phone. She walked up to her dresser and picked up her phone. She sent a text to Inuyasha rather then to call. She didn't want to call him if it was a bad time so texting was rather more convienent for her! She sent the text and lied down on the bed to look up staring at the ceiling. She still had her phone in her hand when it buzzed off. Kagome looked at it and it was Inuyasha texting her back.

Hello Kagome. I have been waiting for Miroku to give you my number! I'm very much excited to chat with you! Would you like to hang out tonight if you're free? Y Inuyasha.

Kagome stared at the text. "Heart Inuyasha?" Se giggled to herself. Sure why not hang out with a already lovey-dovey maniac.

Sure just let me get ready. Click. Sent, Kagome waited for his reply while she was changing into different clothes. She put on tan pants and a dark blue navy long sleeve-t. She allowed her hair to be down. It was kind of wavy due from the fact it just dried out and the rain messed it up. It wasn't bad looking but she wasn't in the mood to impress the boy anyway. She was now ready. She checked her phone and he texted back.

I'll pick you

Up! Er... we

Where would you like to meet?

Now wait I mean... I don't know what I mean...

Kagome had to giggle at 4 texts she got from him. I wonder if he is really nervous and all? I'll text him back.

Pick me up at the park. I'm heading that way now. I'll be there shortly. Oh it's Chandler's Park not Riverside Park.

The message was sent. She picked up her purse and grabbed her apartment keys. She locked the door behind her and left.

Wow it didn't take him long to show up. He must have been out and about or he lives close by! Hoping he was just out and about because I rather him not living close by. She smiled and waved as Inuyasha pulled in to park. He put his car in park and got out. He was shaking.

Wow he sure is nervous. She couldn't help but giggle. He heard her and he stopped walking. He was just frozen into place. Kagome frowned. "It's not like I'm going to bite or something! Come on you can make it over here!" Then she giggled. He didn't know what to say but he did walk over to where she was sitting. "So join me on this lovely night on the park bench, will you now?" She smiled sweetly at him.

He sat down beside her but he said nothing. Kagome just stared at the stars. The night sky was beautiful tonight. Kagome sighed. "I'm sorry if I'm boing you."

Kagome startled by his voice jumped a little then she looked to him. He staring at her. "Well just talk and I think you won't be boring me as much." Kagome smiled.

Inuyasha blushed and looked away. "Oh well... ummm... Well Miroku said nothing about how you truly were a beauty even in person then pictures!"

Kagome blinked. "Miroku said what about me?"

Inuyasha looked to her. "Miroku said that you were a beauty before he showed me the pictures of you he has! I thought you were but he never told me how you were in person! You are that and much more!"

"Oh well um thank you." Kagome couldn't help but blush. "Anyway Miroku actually just mentioned about you to me today."

It was Inuyasha's turn to look surprised. "Oh well we just became friends about 3 months ago."

"Oh no wonder. Well anyway it was nice chatting and all but I've got to run back home. I've got to be up early in the morning. See you later!" Kagome started to walk off before Inuyasha grabbed her and kissed her. Kagome wasn't so sure about this but allowed for the time being. He stopped and looked at her. He was blushing like crazy but Kagome felt so empty. Like she didn't enjoy it all.

"Kagome I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that." Inuyasha said softly.

"Oh Inuyasha I'm sorry but I'm just not looking for a boyfriend at the moment. Maybe some other time." Kagome walked off leaving him there wondering.

The next day Kagome wasn't really working that hard at the flower/antique shop. A reglaur customer had came in and was harrassing Kagome as always. Kagome couldn't help but roll her eyes everytime but today was different.

"Hi there Kouga!" Kagome said with real actual enthusisiam. Kouga stopped in his tracks and looked at her. Really looking at her.

"Kagome my Sweets. How are you." He smiled his amazing flashy smile.

"Wonderful actually." Kagome was ready for his next line.

Kouga knew the answer to this already but he always had to ask it... She actually might change her mind... Kouga couldn't help thinking it... "Would you like to go on a date with me? To the movies, to the beach, Or a romantic pinic with me at the lake?" He seemed really more excited and surprised how Kagome was considering one of his offers.

"Oh I like the... Pinic Lake choice. I'm free this Saturday actually."

Kouga's smile was turned to shock, to surprise, to hell if he even knew what. Then he bounced around like a happy wolf. "Err... uhhh... Kagome uhhh. I am honored Oh Kagome Noon will be great with you?" He couldn't help it but he was so happy at this moment.

"Okay sounds great to me." Then Kouga bounded at of the store leaving a giggling Kagome.

Kagome got home and called Sango. "Hey Sango, you know that Kouga guy that always comes and bothers me at work?"

"Hey Kagome and yeah what about him? Do I need to hunt him down for getting you fired or something?"

Kagome couldn't help but laugh at one of her other best friends since kindergraden. "No I finally accpeted his going on a date request."

Silence then, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! I can't believe you finally gave in?"

"Yeah I had this horrible date that Miroku tried to set me up with last night! And the way Kouga talks, I figured I'd give the guy a chance. I mean I just gave some stranger a chance, why not my best customer a chance?" Kagome giggled.

Sango giggled too. "Yeah wow what was the guy's name he tried to hook you up with?"

"His name Inuyasha."

Silence. "Inuyasha huh? Miroku talks to him to me about him all the time. I saw a picture of him and he is a nice looking guy. Miroku showed me a picture of his ex girlfriend and all I could think of was you. That reminds me why was the date so horrible?"

Kagome sighed. "Well it wasn't that horrible but I just couldn't get this feeling like he wanted me to be Kikyo and wanted to call me Kikyo instead of Kagome. Like saying Kagome would have reminded him I wasn't Kikyo. We talked but not that much. The guy was too nervous and then at the end of the date he went and kissed me. It was like he was kissing me becasue he felt closer to Kikyo? I knew I couldn't be with this guy because of it! So I came up with a plan. I was going to give the wolf demon a chance and well I did. I just hope that I made the right choice."

"Oh Kagome I bet you did! What all you told me sounds like a good deal for you! I just can't wait to hear about your date with Kouga!" Sango giggled and that got Kagome to laughing.

"Well I guess I'll let you go. I've got some house cleaning to do."

"As in house cleaning, you mean I am tired and ready for a nap right?" Sango couldn't help but smirk even if Kagome couldn't see her.

"Alright you figured it out! Okay night Sango!"

"Night Kagome."

Saturday.

"Kagome! You look so radiant."

"Oh Kouga." Kagome couldn't help but blush. "You look handsome as well even though you look so casual." Kagome decided to check Kouga out. He was wearing black shorts and a yellow normal looking T-shirt.

"Ah Kagome I don't need any compliments. You should be the one to be receiving all of them!" Kouga smirked towards her. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at him.

Kagome just wear jean shorts and a dark purple tank top and the straps were made of lace as well as the top and the bottom. Kagome applied eyeliner and mascara and a light case of purple eyeshadow. She used lipgloss instead of lipstick. She allowed her hair to be wavy looking instead of trying to straighten it out. Kagome looked pretty nice but she still felt like she could have done better. Either way Kouga did seem pleased with her appearance so she wasn't that worried.

"I've always wanted to go on a normal picnic, but I never expected it to be sharing it with a nice guy."

Kouga smiled brightly at this. "Oh well Kagome. I've always wanted to have a romantic picnic with such a lovely girl such as yourself."

The date went well. Kagome had told Sango she would come over after the date, and well that's what she was doing now.

Knock Knock. Sango swung the door open all excited and giddy looking. "COME IN COME IN, Dear Kagome!" She squealed. Kagome walked in laughing like crazy.

Sango and her sat down on the couch. "Well how was it?" Sango asked.

"Oh Kouga is a great guy! But only if you like the clingy type."

"Oh ouch. He really was that clingy?"

"More or less. If I let him I bet he would never let me go. So no way I don't like clingy people. I'm not even that romantic anyway."

"Aw Kagome you're more romantic then I can ever get." Sango giggled.

"Yeah but I'm just not that into him. It'll disappoint him but I'm good." Kagome sighed.

"That's alright Kagome. Just move onto the next guy you see!"

"Sango, what type of advice is that?"

"I was only joking!" Kagome and Sango giggled and giggled.

Kagome drove home. She walked up the stairs to her apartment. She saw Miroku hanging well actually more like lurking at her door.

"Miroku you suck at hiding. Really that plant doesn't suit in hiding you."

It wasn't Miroku who popped out of the plants location. It was... "Hey Kagome."

Kagome's eyes went wide. "Inu- Inuyasha?"

"Kagome I can't stop thinking about you ever!"

"Um... I did a long time ago?"

She saw the hurt in Inuyasha's eyes but he came closer anyway. "You're mine! I won't allow you to no one else!" Inuyasha tried to force her into kissing him but she was surprisingly quick to move her head and he kissed her cheek.

"Inuyasha I'm sorry but I don't really like you."

"But Kagome I love you!"

"Eh? Um... You mean Kikyo right? Since I look like Kikyo and all."

"No never! I love you for you! Kagome..."

Kagome started to freak. She didn't want a clingy stalker! "Inuyasha leave me alone! Or I'll call the police!"

"Kagome that's funny. You love me back I know you do."

"Um NO!" Kagome was panicking in her mind but she tried to remain calm facing him.

"Well I'll leave you to be for now." Then Inuyasha walked away. Kagome got into her apartment quickly. She was shaking. Was... Was he going to do something to me? Ugh I don't know but I'm scared... Miroku! She locked the door and ran to her home phone. She called Miroku's home phone hoping he would answer QUICKLY.

Finally he answered. "Miroku!" Kagome was crying by this time.

"Kagome?"

"I don't know Miroku! Maybe I'm just over reacting! I don't know! Miroku is Inuyasha crazy? Why did him and Kikyo even break up? MIROKU!"

Miroku's head was spinning by this time. He hadn't expect Kagome to ramble on like that but she sure did. She seemed scared?

"Uh Kagome uh... What did he do? Inuyasha crazy? I'm not sure? And I never knew the story behind their break up..."

"Inuyasha came over here saying the guy was in love with me and said that no one could have me and he he he tried to kiss me! Somehow I moved quickly enough for him to kiss my cheek but... Miroku!"

"Don't worry Kagome I'll look into it. If he bothers you again before I get any information on him run to Sango's or my house. It's getting late for me so I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay bye."

"Bye and stay safe Kagome."

Click.

"What an Eventful Day." Kagome said. She took a bath to calm her down. Which it did mighty wonders for her! She was sitting on the bed looking all around. She spotted the mirror and got up, picked her brush up, and started to brush her hair once more in front of the mirror sitting in front of it. Kagome sighed for the millionith time that day.
