If you looked at Kagome Higurashi-Kakashi, you'd see her as plain and ordinary. Her hair was naturally black but she had recently dyed it a smooth caramel color with chocolate brown underneath. Her hair was cut short, layered neatly beneath her ears. Her clothes were nothing special. She wasn't a prep, but she sometimes wore the cute plaid shorts she found at Goodwill that carried the Hollister or Aeropostale tags. ( A/N I never wear this, I just think the shorts are cute. I have never been inside either of these stores, because I shop at Hottopic or Wal-Mart. Sorry!) She wore different types of jewlery. Often she would wear metal bangles on her left wrists, and rubber/plastic bracelets on her right. ( I don't know if you know what I'm talking about but I'm talking about those bracelets that have different meanings whichever color and if a guy or girl breaks them, you have to do whatever the bracelet means with that person.) Her eyes were an acid green but often were turquoise or a periwinkle. She wore black rimmed glasses, but they made her look cute. She wore tank tops mostly, but wore sweaters or long sleeved shirts in winter if it was cold. (A/N This story is in America. It gets cold!) She wore pink sparkly high top Converse, or lime green flip-flops. She loved bright neon colors. She also had her lip pierced with either a hot pink ring or a lime green one.

Now if you looked at InuYasha Takahashi, you'd see something totally different. He was a punk. Often wearing tight pants, and Misfits Vans. He liked to wear punk band shirts and black muscle tank tops with one of those bulletproof vest, stolen of course, with the white police lettering expertly filed off. He had been questioned by the principal about it but he just said his uncle gave it to him after he got a new one. He had very recently cut his hair into a emo-ish medium length cut with black layered into his perfect silver locks. He played hockey, which made him strong and he had rights to tell the girls that he wanted why they should date him. Often he wrote them notes like this

TEN REASONS WHY TO DATE A HOCKEY PLAYER (ME)

1. They always use protection
2. They have great hands
3. They are used to scoring
4. They have great stamina
5. They find the opening and get it in
6. They never miss the target
7. They know how to use their wood
8. They have long sticks
9.They know when to play rough
10. Because baseball players only know how to hit balls.

He often saw Kagome in the hall, but hid his growing attraction for her because it wasn't proper for a prep or someone of her stature to date a punk like him. He heard her friends talking and eh was surprised to find that she listened to a lot of awesome punk bands, like The Misfits, but some other music interests concerned him, Like My Chemical Romance. ( A/N I LIKE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! TRUST ME! I'm modeling Inuyasha after this punk kid at my school who doesn't like My Chemical Romance. I spit on him earlier today for it.) Kagome had held a secret burning passion for InuYasha since Kindergraten when he had shared his blocks with her. They had been good friends till her went all punk and she went preppyish. Things had changed. Their social circles were just too different. She wished he would be with her, but social class often was important to her and him as well.

" Hey kagome, I heard Inuyasha broke it off with that punk Kinky Hoe"

Kikyo Hinomo. Biggest slut in the school. She had been after InuYasha since she moved here in sixth grade. She had been a prep, but since she realized InuYasha wasn't into that, she went punk. InuYasha had quickly acknowledge the change and the very next week, he and Kikyo, or Kinky Hoe, were together. They had stayed together for 5 years, but InuYasha must have come to his senses. He must have found out about her relationships, each of them had been together with her for the entire time of her and InuaYash's relationship. There was Koga Hankanmo, Naraku Kiku, Heiten Masuki, Bankotsu Herei. She had juggled them all successfully. Until today. Kagome found out that all 5 of them had dropped her today. They had all found out when she accidentally was in the same place with them at once. Now, Koga wouldn't stop looking at Kagome, Naraku had asked Kagome out twice in one hour, and Heiten had forced himself onto her in gym when the teacher was outside flirting with their math teacher. He forced himself on her three more times, when the teacher had left to go "Take Care of Come Business" InuYasha finally told Heiten to back off when he saw him try to rip Kagome's gym shirt off. She silently nodded to Inuyasha, who knew it meant thank you.

" Great…another chance for me to get my hopes up. You and I both know that I have no chance. He doesn't like preps."

" Really? Then why did I overhear him say that those plaid shorts made you look sexy. Real sexy, and Andy agreed. He likes you, and those plaid shorts. Trust me."

Kagome sighed. Most of the time, Sango only said this stuff to make her feel better. She wanted to be with InuYasha, almost all her friends knew that, and they wanted them to be together. Little did Kagome know that InuYasha was having the same battle with himself.

Kagome often thought of the times when they used to be together as friends. She loved reminiscing, even if it hurt now.

Flashback 5yrs Ago

InuYasha and Kagome were sitting in their special tree, just randomly talking. InuYasha often told her stuff she knew never to tell. For instance, he really was a Hanyou, but had the necklace on his neck, which read " The Cursed Shard" which, he confessed was actually a tainted piece of the legendary Shikon Jewel. Kagome had gasped when she heard it because she remembered that he had done a report on how the battle had went and how the mighty dog demon had stolen the last shard, tainted as it was, and forged a necklace for his Hanyou curse. InuYasha told her that he was the great grandson of the dog demon in the story and Kagome found out that she was related to the Miko in the story. Apparently, the Miko had disappeared after the defeat of the great enemy Naraku. Who, Naraku was of course descended from. When she found that out, she wondered if she was here with InuYasha to fix the mistakes the two had made. The two had been destined to fall in love, but it never happened. Maybe the present Inuyasha and Kagome were supposed to fall in Love. Sango never knew about this, because InuYasha had trusted her completely.

" man, that Kikyo is pretty."

"…"

" Look Kagome, you know me, I don't go out with preps. It's against my groups nature."

" Why HER though. If anything, you should…. Never mind."

" What?"

" Nothing!"

"Tell me or I'll tickle you!"

Kagome kept her mouth shut. He began to tickle her and they were soon laughing. Then, things had gotten even crazier and somehow, their lips were soon pressed together. The feeling was so new to them, that they kept on kissing. When Kagome's mom called her, she left with a kiss on her cheek from him. She never told her mother or Sango about it, because the next day, they both acted like it never happened. And as far as she was concerned, if he was going to be with Kikyo, she wasn't going to act upon a stupid accident. And so, they began to lessen contact until rare glances were shot to the other.

End Flashback

Kagome sighed as she remembered how good the kiss had been. It was perfect. Perfect timing, perfect guy, perfect everything. Across the gym, she saw InuYasha sighing. She wondered if he thought about the kiss as much as she did, or if he was just thinking about Kikyo. Risking how she was ranked as a social person, she walked over to him. The rest of the people were shooting basketballs.

"Are you okay?"

" Kagome?"

" Yeah?"

" Why did we never take a chance after that kiss?"

Kagome's eyes flashed and grew wide. After every response she was expecting, she never thought of that one. She tried to think of what to say. As she looked at him, he looked into her eyes. He brushed a lock of hair out of her eyes, and leaned in. She gasped as he placed his lips on hers. He seemed to be aware of his actions. He knew what he was doing. He pulled from her. She was stunned by shock.

" So, why didn't we act on it?"

" I wanted to…..but you said that day….you don't go out with preps…and I thought I was near enough to a prep that I wasn't on your radar."

" Come with me…we're cutting."

He stood up and kicked Kagome in the shin.

"OW!!!!"

" There's our getaway. Hey guys! If the teachers ask, I took Kagome to the hospital after she got injured in gym! Got it?"

They all nodded and he pulled her out of the doors. He pulled her into the car and sent a note to his mom and reception to tell the office that Kagome had indeed injured herself, and was treated and sent home. Then he drove them to a place they hadn't seen for five years. They had left that day, and decided not to come back without the other. He went up before her and helped her up on "her" branch.

" I decided to take you here cause this seems to be the place we always used to talk. And you used to be so certain here. It's time to be certain again. Do you, or do you not love me?"

"….."
