Hey Guys! I've decided to revamp this fic cause I got a few really good reviews about adding detail and I agree wholeheartedly that this needs work. Thanks to sesshysgirl1213, Halogazer, aGreatPenName, Danielle, and iluvkouga121791! Your suggestions were great! You guys ROCK! The sequel will be posted a little later this month or possibly next month due to finals…

Please forgive me

She sat there reading her romance novel. Her eyes were still red and puffy, her cheeks stained with tears. A flash of lightning and a clap of thunder nearly made her jump out of her window-seat. She was curled up like a cat in her purple plaid flannel pants, green t-shirt, and fluffy pink Hello kitty slippers. She looked up from her book for a moment to glance around her room. For once it was clean; no clothes on the floor or papers scattered over her desk. A small smile graced her lips. At least one good thing happened that night, and she wouldn't have to worry about being grounded for a month.

Her cell phone went off and her smile faded. She picked it up, praying to kami that it wasn't him. A stray tear slid down her smooth cheek. It was. It was her boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend now; the reason she had been crying in the first place.

She composed herself and held the phone up to her ear. "H-hello?"

"Hey, it's me."

"I know it's you. Now what do you want?" she bit out a little more forceful than she intended. Oh well, he deserved that and more.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry about what happened earlier. Can you please forgive me?" his deep voice pleaded.

She couldn't believe it! After what he put her through, he wanted to be forgiven so easily! He completely humiliated her in front of the entire school!

"Why should I?" she seethed.

"Because I love you!"

This caught her off-guard. "Huh! No you don't. Y-you can't. How do you know?"

"Yes I can and I do," he sighed. "Kagome, you make me do crazy things."

"Oh yeah! Like what?" she scoffed.

He laughed. "Turn around and see."

She sat there and stared at her phone in confusion for a few moments before doing as she was told. As soon as she did, chocolate clashed with sapphire. Had there not been a sheet of glass separating the two, their noses would have brushed against one another. He gave her a toothy grin and waved as another bolt of lightning flashed behind him.

She screamed, her shrill voice nearly drowning out the clap of thunder that crashed in the distance. Her cell dropped to the floor as she jumped back, pulling the window open in the process. She yanked him through and lunged forward, slamming the glass shut. It was then that she noticed that there was no ladder to be found anywhere. The only other way he could have gotten up there… 'He must have scaled the ivy trellis and stood on the ledge. But the ledge isn't even two feet wide… and my room is on the third floor!'

She whipped her head around and started screaming at her boyfriend. "Kouga! What is wrong with you! You could have gotten yourself seriously hurt!" He just stood there smiling at her. He was soaking wet, his hair clinging to his face and clothes. He was still in the tuxedo he had rented for the dance and there was a puddle of water where he was standing. Kagome rushed to the bathroom and returned with a towel.

"I'll get you a pair of pajamas while you dry off." She walked into her older brother's room and grabbed a set of deep blue flannel pajamas. InuYasha was away at college but visited two weekends a month; he left some things at home so he wouldn't need to pack much. Kagome thanked the heavens above that her family was away for the weekend. Who knows what they would have done if they found a Kouga in her room!

She handed him the clothes. "Now, go change out of those wet clothes before you catch your death. Then we'll talk." As she waited for him to get out of the bathroom, she sat down on her bed and tried to figure out why he was even here. He was the one who had ended it, not her. Why had he changed his mind so suddenly?

He came back five minutes later, his hair swaying in the wind as he walked through the door. He left his clothes hanging over the shower curtain to dry. The blue-eyed boy walked over to her and kneeled on the floor in front of her, blocking her escape route.

"Alright Kouga. What are you doing here? I thought you didn't want me anymore. You told me to go home with Hojou and that we were over." Her eyes were beginning to glisten with unshed tears, yet her voice was hollow with a hint of anger in the background.

He reached a hand out to gently caress her cheek, but she pulled away quickly, as if she was about to be bitten by a poisonous snake. "I came to apologize. I didn't mean it. I wasn't thinking."

"Why did you say it if you didn't mean it? Guys don't usually break up with their girlfriends for no reason." She slid back further onto the bed, pulling her knees up to her chest.

Kouga bowed his head so his eyes weren't visible through his bangs. "I don't know. I guess I was just so jealous-"

Kagome cut him off. "What were you jealous about?"

He stood up and began crawling over to her on the bed. She didn't want to be near him yet, so she immediately jumped off the bed and scurried over to the wall, pressing her back against it. But Kouga was on her heels and pinned her to the wall, one arm on either side of her. "Well, when you got up to dance with Hojou you looked so happy. I thought you were going to leave me for him. I didn't know what to do. I was afraid of losing you." He lowered his head once more so Kagome couldn't see the tear that escaped from his eye. Clearing his throat, he continued. "So I thought that if I broke up with you…I don't know. Then when I saw you run out of the gym crying, I wanted to throw myself off a cliff. I never wanted to hurt you. I was just afraid of getting hurt myself. Kagome, please forgive me?"

Kagome was shocked, her heart pounding a mile a minute. He was…afraid? Of losing her? He was the one all the girls were pining for. She had sometimes wondered why he was with her anyway; he could easily have his pick of any girl in school. If he was afraid of losing her, then he really did care. He wasn't thinking of leaving her for another. He wanted her! She hooked a finger under his chin and smiled softly. Lifting his head, their eyes locked. "Kouga, how could you ever think I would leave you? You mean so much to me. Hojou is just a good friend. He told me a story about Miroku's way with the ladies where he got slapped by ten girls in a row. Sango smacked him five times alone!" she laughed. "You're the only one for me. I love you."

He smiled. "How do you know?"

"Like this."

Kagome wrapped her arms around Kouga's neck and pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. Their tongues battled for dominance as they explored each other's mouths. They broke for air a few minutes later, both out of breath and panting.

"Wow. I guess you really are sure." he said, kissing the tip of her nose, making her giggle.

"Well, I suppose it's too late for you to go home, so you'll have to spend the rest of the night here with me. No funny stuff. Got it?."

Kouga feigned a hurt expression and placed a hand over his heart. "Kagome. I can't believe you would even suggest such a thing."

"Yeah, yeah. Come on."

As they snuggled under the covers, Kouga draped his arm around her waist and pulled her close, spooning his body around hers. "Does this mean that you forgive me?" he whispered as he nipped at her earlobe, his warm breath tickling her cheek.

She turned to face him and raised her hand to cup his cheek. "Of course I do silly. And I always will. I still love you Kouga. So I guess you're stuck with me." She giggled at the goofy grin plastered on his face.

"And I wouldn't have it any other way."

And with that, they fell asleep in each other's arms, the cell phone and book forgotten on the floor.

As the wind and rain lashed at the window, neither woke. Both were sleeping peacefully, dreaming about what the future held for them. But the both knew that no matter what, they would face it together.
