A/N: So ... a clarification before I actually start on this fic. The first few ... say, 5 to 6 chapters will be peppered with Inukag, so for those of you who can't stand reading about them, I suggest this fic not be for you. For those who enjoy drama, welcome? Haha.

Kagome Higurashi looked herself the mirror with a satisfied smile, turning her face at an angle to look at the fading bruise on her temple. She heaved a small, inaudible sigh before her expression suddenly changed to that of a tigress.

"YAH, SOUTA! KOHAKU! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY COMPUTER!" Kagome barked, fists clenching as Souta and Kohaku's faces gave way to fright and horror. The two children slowly backed away as she continued to scream from the window. "I CAN SEE YOU!"

"W-We were just planning to play some games," Souta stuttered, trying not to be intimidated by his sister. It was hard though. Kagome, despite her gentle appearance and sparkling eyes, could instantly turn violent when annoyed. The last thing she wanted was for them to pry into her stuff -

"SOUTA HIGURASHI!" This time a rock came flying out of the bathroom window, almost hitting her brother squarely in the forehead. "I KNOW YOU'RE THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THIS, GET OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE I MURDER BOTH OF YOU ALIVE!"

With a squeak, both children ran out of her bedroom as fast as their legs could carry them.

Lowering her head, Kagome rolled her eyes. 'I really need to discipline them.' Thinking back to what she kept in that computer of hers, a slight blush colored her rosy cheeks. If only they knew how many pictures Kagome kept of Inuyasha, her boyfriend. He was her first love; despite her not being his, she believed that Inuyasha truly loved her for who he was and would never hurt her on purpose. It all began when she happened to bump into him in the hallways ...

"Guys. Stop. I don't even want to watch you make out for the hundredth time this morning." Ignoring her words, Sango and Miroku continued to suck face while making the most gruesome sounds possible. Using all the strength and disgust she could muster, Kagome walked off holding her books close to her chest. She must have been zoning out, for the next moment she found herself fallen on the ground with the textbooks sprawled. All around her was unkind laughter, and Kagome felt hot tears welling up in her eyes as she picked up her books one by one.

It was his hand that had stopped her, his other hand that handed her one of the books. As she looked up, she realised what a beautiful molten gold his eyes were. His long, silver hair hung loosely across his shoulders as he tilted his head with a breathtaking smile. "Are you alright?"

Kagome shivered. He was too - too perfect, too amazing to be here talking to her. Like her, the entire hallway thought so as well. Stunned silence emitted from all the students, with occasional whispers on how Inuyasha was the school playboy and had probably set sights on a new target.

Yet she chose not to believe them. Gripping her hand onto his, he pulled her up as she dusted her skirt with a slightly awkward smile. He passed her the books and winked. "Be careful. Wouldn't want a pretty girl like you to hurt herself again, don't you think?" Her breath caught in her throat; she nodded briefly before quickly looking away. As he turned to leave, Kagome stopped him with a soft whisper.

"What's your name?"

He turned with another breathtaking smile. "My name is Inuyasha."

That was their first meeting. Within the next week, he'd asked her out a couple of times. Smitten, Kagome had accepted the first minute he posed the question. Miroku and Sango, despite small warnings that he usually played with his girlfriends, eventually began to approve of Inuyasha. He didn't treat her like his other whores, they had to admit - what Inuyasha felt for Kagome was true concern and love, something that even Inuyasha himself had probably never felt before. The feeling was delirious and made him dizzy; whenever he saw Kagome, a smile would spread on his face.

It was love, Kagome decided, the grin still etched on her face as she slowly applied some light blue eyeshadow on her eyes. Today would be their first monthsary and she wanted to look special - especially when Inuyasha would be taking her out to 'somewhere exciting', as he put it. She couldn't wait for him to arrive, pick her up and they would have the time of their lives.

Kagome was a simple girl; happiness was all she desired. However, some say that the simplest things are in fact the hardest to achieve.

Inuyasha looked at his watch, the slight trace of a scowl hanging upon his handsome features. "Koga! What the heck are you doing? Didn't I ask for transport to arrive an hour ago?"

"Calm down," Koga muttered. He looked slightly taken aback by his friend's poisonous expression, but continued to act as if nothing was wrong. "Ginta and Hakkaku must have met some traffic on the road; can't your girl wait a few more minutes?"

"Don't test my patience, Koga." Inuyasha's tone was now dripping with mild anger as he turned around to glare at the wolf demon. His claws started to sharpen, making even Koga back down a little. "Today is supposed to be special, and I'm not going to disappoint Kagome for something" - he jabbed a finger at the empty road - "that isn't worth my concern. Make sure Ginta and Hakkaku arrive in no more than five minutes. I don't have the time to wait anymore."

"Inuyasha, I don't even understand you anymore," Koga sighed. "Didn't you use to play around with all your girlfriends? What did that human girl do to you that all the rest couldn't; enchant you? Bewitch you?"

"She did nothing," he replied simply, his voice softening as he thought of Kagome. Her smile, the look in her eyes ... everything. "I love her for who she is. She's not one of those sluts I used to fuck around with, Koga."

"Was Kikyo 'one of those sluts', then?"

The mood froze for a moment, freezing Inuyasha along with it. Scenes and pictures of him with Kikyo flickered past his mind before he cast them right into the back of his mind, fists clenching. With a scowl, he walked back into the house as Koga gave a helpless shrug, following him inside.
