SUMMARY: Kagome is a perfect student in school, perfect grades and perfect attendance, what happens when she runs into someone at the hardware store picking up something for her best friend Sango and it turns out they know each other, but only he slightly remembers her, they have a three year age difference... how can he know her? His name? Inuyasha. And what started out as a simple act of kindness from Inuyasha might end up being something way more! Or maybe Kikyo will ruin everything for them?

Love Will Always Find A Way
Chapter One: Meeting Each Other

It was a beautiful morning in Tokyo, Japan. Birds were chirping the sun had already risen. It was seven thirty in the morning. All was peaceful in every home… All but one.

"OH MY GOD IT'S SEVEN THIRTY! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WAKE ME UP???" A young raven haired girl screamed.

"Honey, you always wake up at seven thirty." Her mother said.

"Mom! I told you I had to wake up at seven today!" She said frantically brushing her hair after quickly throwing on her school uniform.

"Why did you have to wake up so early?" Her mother asked her.

"I have to pick up something at the hardware store for Sango this morning! She needs it, and I promised her!" She hollered while putting on her shoes almost out the door.

"What about breakfast?"

She grabbed a piece of toast and ran out the door. "Thank you mom! Love you bye!" She said already running down the steps of the shrine.

"Kagome, what am I going to do with you?" Her mother asked herself as she walked back inside.

'Oh my god Sango's going to kill me!' Kagome thought as she ran to the hardware store. When she made it there the place was packed. 'Fuck!!!!!!' Kagome thought she ran around the store trying to find the utensil Sango needed for wood shop.

"Miroku! Would you stop being a pervert for one minute and help me find the … Uhhhh what did he need again?" A man named Inuyasha said/asked. Miroku took his eyes off of all the girls walking by the store, preferably school girls and went to help Inuyasha.

"Hardware stores… I hate them, no chicks here… EVER only like the rare few but their creepingly strong and massive!" The one called Miroku said shuddering at the thought.

"MIROKU!" Inuyasha hollered.

"Oh right I believe your neighbour wanted ummm, I believe the Stanley saw and hammer?" Miroku tried to recall what he wanted.

"Yeah I think so too; you look in the other row I'll continue looking in this one." So Miroku did so.

'Uhg why did he need me to pick this shit up, I hate neighbours!' Inuyasha thought. 'He owes me big time; after all I've done for him and not one thing he's…' Inuyasha's mind wondered to the girl in the school uniform just a bit further down than him. 'What is a school girl doing in here? School's about to begin…' Inuyasha thought. She caught him gazing at her; she stared at him, than looked away.

'Oh my god was he staring at me?' Kagome thought.

Inuyasha smirked. 'She's a shy girl.' He kept on eyeing her, when his cell phone rang. 'Fuck.' He though. "Hello?"

"You sly dog you!"

"Miroku? Why are calling me you're in the other fucking row!" Inuyasha said irritated. Kagome chuckled. Inuyasha eyed her again and when she looked at him he winked at her, she blushed.

"Telling me to stop my womanizing eh? I'm here stuck with sweaty men while you're in that row with that hot piece of ass?" Miroku said with jealousy in his voice.

"Miroku fuck off and look for the fucking… What are we looking for again?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome laughed again.

"Stanley hammer, and saw!!!!!! I told you already!!" Miroku screamed into the phone.

"Ok ok ok ok Jeeze bye!" Inuyasha said hanging up. He shook his head.

Kagome continued looking in the aisle. 'Uhg how hard is it to find a fucking Stanley hammer?' She thought. She looked at the gap between her and Inuyasha. Sure enough, there was the hammer. "Finally!" She said aloud causing him to look at her. "Jeeze never thought it'd be so hard to find a hammer!" She said about to grab one when her hand met with someone else's and both hands quickly pulled back. She looked up to see whose hand that was; she was met face to face with beautiful golden amber eyes.

Inuyasha smirked. He grabbed one of the hammers and handed it to her. "Here you go."

"Thanks." She said.

"No, thank you, if it weren't for you screaming out load about your joy for finding a hammer," she blushed "I never would found have this fucking thing." He said laughing.

"Umm, well thanks, or your welcome, or what ever." She said not knowing what else to say. "Have a nice day."

"You too!" He said with a smirk she looked back at him, he winked at her again. She blushed and continued to cash register.

Just than Miroku came up behind him. "I found the saw, did you get the hammer or were you too busy checking that hottie out?" He asked his best friend.

Inuyasha grabbed the saw from him. "I have the hammer thank you, now fuck off."

"So I can leave now??" Miroku asked.

"YES!" Inuyasha said glaring at him. With that said Miroku left the store and got into his black BMW320d Saloon ES and drove off.

'I have better things to do than shop in a hardware store for my friend's neighbour!' Miroku thought. 'Like looking for women!' He smirked at that thought, and turned on his radio to his favourite radio station.

Inuyasha went in the line up to cash out. He looked in front of him and smirked. There was the school girl from the aisle. She kept staring at her watch, and kept saying over and over again 'shit shit shit shit, I'm late I'm late, fuck!' Than her cell phone went off.

"Ahh shit it's Sango, fuck!" Kagome said grabbing her cell phone from her pocket and answering her best friend's call. "Hey Sango!"

"Kagome where are you? School starts in five minutes!" Sango said.

'So her name's Kagome… nice name… Where have I heard it before?' Inuyasha thought to himself eavesdropping on their conversation.

"I'm stuck in line at the hardware store; my mom woke me up late! I'll be there soon okay???"

"You better hurry up girl!" Sango said.

"I will, I will, bye."

"Bye." And she hung up.

"Never knew it'd be so busy here?" Inuyasha asked her.

She looked back at him. "I kind of figured so, but my mother woke me up late, so now I'm stuck here… in line, waiting, being late for school." She babbled.

"Well I'm thankful for that otherwise I never would have seen you today." He said smirking.

"Uhh, Well…" Kagome began but was cut off by the cashier.

"Next please!" Kagome gave her the hammer, she rang it up. "Your total is $45.18."

"Shit!" Kagome said. "This cannot be happening." Kagome said aloud. "I forgot my wallet at home! I was in too much of a rush…"

"Well I guess you won't be needing this hammer." She put the hammer under the counter. "Next please!"

"Sango's going to kill me! Uhg, That or I go home and grab my…" Kagome got cut off by hearing Inuyasha tell the cashier to ring up the hammer she just put under the counter with his stuff. She looked at him.

"Okay sir, your total comes to $120.87." Inuyasha pulled out his credit card and paid for everything. While walking out he looked at her and tilted his head telling her to come with him. She obeyed and followed him outside. He pulled the hammer out of the bag and handed it to her.

"Here." He said.

"You didn't have to…" She said. "Thanks."

"I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. Now why did you need it so bad?" He asked looking at her curiously, leaning on an expensive car.

"My friend asked me to get it, she needed it for her wood shop class today and she was too busy yesterday to go get it and I promised her…" Kagome said. She looked at her watch. "FUCK! I'm late!"

"How late?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Fifteen minutes… I'm so dead!"

"Need a ride?" She looked up at him. "I'm not going to kidnap you or kill you or rape you or what ever. So do you?" She nodded her head. "Ok hop in." He said while pulled out the keys to his car and opened the door to the car he was leaning on. Her eyes bulged out of her head. "What?" He asked.

"That's your car?" She asked.

"Yeah." He said chuckling at her reaction. "Now get in the passenger seat."

She got in. "You own a Mercedes SLR McLaren?"

He laughed. "Yeah I do."

"You lucky bastard! This is my dream car!" She said. He smirked.

"Well what school do you go to?"

"Shikon High, it's just a few…"

"I know where it is." He said starting his car and beginning his drive. 'So she goes to Shikon high. Maybe that's how her name sounds familiar…' He thought. Within a few minutes they were at her school.

"Thanks so much!" Kagome said ready to get out of the car but before she could he locked the door. She looked at him a little scared.

"Before you go," he started, he put his hand on her knee "I want to know," he began moving his hand higher up, Kagome grew tense, he pulled up her skirt a bit, but stopped about eight or so inches from her knee, "when am I going to see you again. I want an answer otherwise you're held captive in my car." He said smirking.

Kagome was hesitant to answer. "I… I don't know…" Kagome said looking at his hand and than back at him.

"I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, ok?" He asked. "Are you comfortable with where my hand is?" He asked. She shook her head. He moved his hand away and put his arm around her shoulders. "Is this ok?" She nodded.

'Oh my god, what is he doing?' Kagome thought.

"Now can I have a better answer?" He asked looking at her sweetly.

"Well, I don't know…" Kagome said while her cheeks began turning red.

"How about after school today?" He asked.

"I'm hanging out with my friend Sango today." She said.

"How about tomorrow?"

"Umm, sure that's fine." She said.

"Okay, so I'll pick you up in the morning?"

She looked at him confused. "Tomorrow's Thursday, I have school…"

"Skipping one day won't do any harm." He said looking at her with a smirk.

"Well you see, I kind of have a perfect attendance, and I'm going for the perfect attendance award again this year…" She said playing with her hair; she was so nervous and a bit scared.

"Again?" He asked.

"I've gotten a perfect attendance award since grade three." She said. He looked at her funny. "So maybe after school tomorrow?" She asked.

He smiled. "Sure."

"So am I still held captive?" She asked. He laughed and unlocked the door. "Thanks." She said about to get out when he grabbed her hand.

"Before you go, how old are you?" He asked.

"I'm… I'm seventeen." She said.

"When are you going to be eighteen?" He asked.

"I graduate this year; I'll be eighteen in a month." She said. Again ready to leave.

"Hey, I don't get a goodbye kiss?" He asked. Her face went crimson red.

"Well… I…"

"You have kissed a guy before right?" She shook her head. "What? A gorgeous seventeen year old never kissed anyone?" He asked astonished. Her face went even redder.

"Well, yeah, I guess… I just never ummm…" She babbled.

"Can I be the first one to kiss you?" He asked her so sweetly. She looked at him. "Not even just a peck on the lips?"

"Well I guess, Ummm…" She looked at him, and this time she checked him out more. He was wearing a white button up shirt, no buttons were actually buttoned up and nothing underneath, showing off his perfect abs. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He had beautiful long silky silver hair with pointy dog ears on top of his head. He was wearing black baggy jeans, but they actually stuck on his ass instead of falling down.

"So that's a yes?" He asked her with a smirk. She nodded. He put his right hand around her waist and his left hand on her leg and pulled her close, she had both hands on his shoulders, and he kissed her. They both pulled away. "That wasn't so bad now was it?" She shook her head. He chuckled. "OK see you after school tomorrow." He said with a smirk.

She got out of the car and said goodbye she walked into the school and made her way to her locker. She put the hammer in her locker. 'I'll give it to Sango at lunch.' She thought to herself, and grabbed her notebooks for her morning class which was math. And she made her way to class.

She entered the classroom. "Good morning Mrs. Aya"

"Nice to see you Kagome, I thought you weren't going to show up! You're twenty-three minutes late for class you know." Mrs. Aya asked.

"Yes I know I'm sorry." Kagome said.

"Well, I'll mark you here, take your seat." She said, so Kagome did so and she took her seat next to Sango.

"Did you get the hammer?" Sango asked.

"Yeah I did."

"Okay, how much do I owe you…?" Sango asked.

"Umm, I'll explain about that later okay?"

"Ummm ok?" Sango said confused.

Inuyasha sat in his car thinking, 'where do I know her from? Her name sounds so familiar to me… Kagome…' He thought. "I'm going to pay Kaede a visit." Inuyasha thought out loud and got out of his car and made his way toward Shikon High. He walked into the office of the school, and went to the secretary, "excuse me. May I speak to Kaede please?" He asked. She looked up at him.

"And who wants to speak with her?" She asked.

"Really now, Akuji, you don't remember me?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha Takahashi?" She asked.

"The one and only." He said smiling.

"How nice of you to pay your old school a visit. Hold on I'll get her in a minute." Akuji said getting up from her desk and going to the principal's office. A few seconds later she was back and said; "she'll be with you in a moment just sit down over there." She said pointing to the seats in the office.

"Thank-you Akuji." Inuyasha said as he sat down. Within a few minutes an old woman walked out of the office.

"How nice to see you Inuyasha." The women named Kaede said.

"Likewise, I have a question about a student you have attending here…" Inuyasha said.

"And who might that be?" Kaede asked curiously.

"She's in grade twelve she has long black raven hair. Very beautiful… And her name is Kagome, don't know her last name though…" Inuyasha said.

"And how do ye know about Kagome?" Kaede asked.

"I bumped into her today at a hardware store and she was running late so I kind of drove her to school. Very sweet honest girl from what I can tell." Inuyasha thought with a smirk.

"Yes she is, she's our number one student." Kaede said.

"Well maybe considering I did you all a favour you can do me a favour?" Inuyasha asked.

"Of course Inuyasha, ye saved my job… And my school. What do ye need?"

"Let her have a day off tomorrow…" Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha it has to be something reasonable."

"Come on just this one day. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't even have a stinking job at this dumb school anyways, none of you teachers or secretaries." Inuyasha shot back.

"Kaede, I'm sure we could work something out with the teachers and she could still get the perfect attendance award. We could always say she was attending a test or tutoring someone, or volunteering somewhere." Akuji spoke up. Kaede sighed.

"Just this one day Inuyasha, you understand?" Said Kaede.

"Loud and clear, but you know, just to make it more believable it should be two days, so the rest of the week off?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha…" Kaede began.

"Please Kaede."

"Why do ye want this so badly?" Kaede asked.

"I don't know, she seems so familiar, and she's smart, adorable, gorgeous and well I want to get to know her, I guess I want her." Inuyasha said.

"Ye know all this just from bumping into her at a hardware store?" Kaede asked.

"It's complicated but yes." Inuyasha said. "Just two days?"

Kaede sighed. "Fine Thursday and Friday off school, but I want ye to come back after lunch today to discuss this with her teachers… Ye remember when lunch ends here right?"

"Starts at eleven ten and ends at twelve thirty, yes I remember." Inuyasha said.

"Too bad ye never remembered when you attended the school." Kaede said, and Inuyasha just laughed to himself.

"So I'll see you at twelve thirty." Inuyasha said leaving. 'How do I know you Kagome?' Inuyasha asked himself as he got into his car and drove off. 'Uhg, now I have to drop this shit off at my neighbours, just great!' Inuyasha thought as he drove home.
