A/N: Heyy guys! I thought up the story line for this story a few weeks ago but with everything else going on in my life right now I haven't had the time to really think it through, write it out, and type it up. Okay, well I don't really know where the inspiration for this story came from, I just sort of thought of it, but I hope I live up to my reputation.

Let Me Love You, Chapter 1
Palm Springs, California - August 24, Mid Morning
"Kagome! Come down here, I have something for you!"
"Coming mom!"
Kagome typed one more thing to her best friend, Ayumi, before she got up from her computer chair and made her way out of her room. She skipped down the stairs excitedly because she had an idea of what her mother had for her. A birthday present. Today was Kagome's seventeenth birthday and she's been looking forward to it all summer.
Kagome made it down the stairs and she looked in the kitchen, living room, game room, and bathroom of the first floor of their house but she didn't find any trace of her mother anywhere.
"Mom?" She called through the rooms. "Where are you?"
"I'm out here!" Kameko, Kagome's mom, called from the front yard.
A smile crossed Kagome's features as excitement started bubbling in her stomach. She bounded to the front door and opened it excitedly. Once she opened the door, her jaw dropped to the ground. In the driveway was a fire engine red metallic BMW M6 Convertible. The bright California sun was shining right down on it, making the car sparkle and shine. Kameko was standing next to it with a huge smile on her face. Kagome slowly closed the door behind her and approached the beautiful car.
"Oh. My. Kami." She gasped. "It's beautiful,"
"Did I get you the right color? I over heard you and Ayumi talking on the phone last week-"
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Kagome screamed as she launched herself into her mother's arms. "It's exactly what I wanted!"
Kameko laughed as Kagome pulled away from her. "Well, take a good look. Make sure everything's perfect."
Kagome beamed as she slowly inspected the car. Fire engine red…check. BMW M6 Convertible…check. Metallic…check. Tan leather interior…check. All that was missing was a hot California girl driving it. Kagome stood at the driver's side door and looked at her mother with a pleading look seeping into her midnight blue eyes.
Kameko smiled. "Go for it,"
Kagome's face lit up and she quickly climbed into the driver's seat. The key was already in the ignition, so she grabbed it and twisted it, making the engine purr to life. A huge smile spread across Kagome's face and she soon turned off the car, thanked her mom again, and ran back to her room to tell Ayumi everything. (CaliGirl101 - Kagome, LittleMissSunshine23 - Ayumi)

Kagome turned off her computer and got up to get changed out of her pajamas, since it was still ten o'clock. She leafed through her closet and found a white denim miniskirt and held it up.
"Works for me," She said as she threw it down on her bed. "Now I just need a top."
Kagome closed her closet doors and went to her dresser and searched through the drawers. She came across a light pink, short sleeved, Aeropostal shirt that said 'Aeropoastal' in shiny silver cursive letters across the chest and had dark pink butterflies around the logo.
She grabbed the shirt out of the drawer and put it on the bed above the skirt.
"Looks good to me." She said as she quickly shed her pajamas and got dressed into the new outfit.
Kagome ran to her closet and threw on her silver metallic heels. She ran a brush through her raven hair until it shined and she ran back down the stairs.
"Mom! I'm taking the BMW for a test drive with Ayumi!" Kagome called through the house
Kameko emerged from the kitchen just in time to see Kagome heading toward the front door.
"Kagome wait! There's something I need to tell you!" She said
"Okay mom can't it wait until I get back?" Kagome asked
"Yes, I suppose it can." Kameko sighed
"Thanks mom, I'll be back in a few hours." Kagome said as she grabbed her white Louie Vuitton purse with the rainbow symbols on it (you know what I mean right?)
"Okay dear, have fun." Kameko said just as Kagome left the house.
Kagome ran out of the house and right to her new baby. The BMW. An excited squeal escaped her lips as she walked around to the driver's side and climbed in. She got herself settled on the leather seat and twisted the key again. The engine purred and Kagome got a firm grip on the steering wheel. She carefully backed out of the driveway and started down the road toward Ayumi's house. As she drive, Kagome noticed that the ride was surprisingly smooth, a lot different then her old Blazer.
Kagome drove for fifteen minutes before reaching Ayumi's house. She parked on the side of the street in front of her house and honked the horn a few times. Ayumi emerged from the front door of her house and her jaw dropped to the ground once she saw Kagome sitting in her new car.
"Hey Ayumi! You might wanna pick your jaw up so we can show this baby off!" Kagome called to her with a laugh.
Ayumi snapped out of her trance and made her way to the passenger door. She stood there for a minute, taking in everything, before she opened the door and slid into the seat next to Kagome.
"So? What do ya think?" Kagome asked as she pulled away from the sidewalk and steadied herself on the road.
Ayumi put her seatbelt on and placed her brown and blue Vera Bradley purse on the floor by her feet. She turned to Kagome with a huge smile gracing her features.
"Wow Kags, this car is incredible," Ayumi said excitedly.
"I know, I love it." Kagome replied as she drove down the road. "So where should we go first?"
Ayumi placed her index finger on her chin as she thought of places they could go.
"The mall!" They both said in unsion as they laughed.
5:21 PM
Kagome pulled back into her driveway and parked as she got out of the BMW. She walked back into the house and was met with her mother sitting on the living room couch.
"Um, hey mom," Kagome said as she slowly closed the door. "Is something wrong?"
"Sweetie why don't you sit down," Kameko said as she motioned toward the seat next to her.
Kagome's forehead creased with confusion and worry as she cautiously sat down next to Kameko. Kameko turned toward her daughter and took a deep breath.
"Kagome, we're moving." She said calmly.
Kagome sat there as her mother's words sunk in one by one.
"We're what?" She asked as her voice raised in volume slightly.
"We're moving," Kameko repeated.
"Mom why?" Kagome asked as she stood up.
"Because my job has transferred me to a new job in Tokyo, Japan." She replied
"Wait, so we're not moving to another state or anything, we're moving to the other side of the globe?!" Kagome yelled, "When did you figure this out and why didn't you tell me?!"
"I found out last week and I didn't tell you because I wanted you to enjoy your last week with your friends."
"Mom! I don't wanna move!"
"Honey calm down, you're going to love it in Tokyo and they have a great school."
"No mom, I love it here and I go to a great school here in Palm Springs!"
"Well Kagome you don't really have a choice, we're moving to Tokyo and that's how it's going to be."
"Mom! That's so not fair! You didn't even tell me until what? Five minutes ago? And you expect me to break this to all my friends?!"
"Sweetie just relax, we're leaving on Monday and the moving van is coming tomorrow."
Kagome took a deep breath and tried to compose herself.
"So I only have two days to say goodbye to everyone?" Kagome asked
Kameko nodded. "I'm sorry darling, I should've told you sooner."
"Yeah, you should've," Kagome muttered. "But it's not your fault so I can't blame you for it."
Kameko stood and enveloped Kagome in a warm hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Kagome pulled away and went up to her bedroom…
To be continued…
