He Loves Me,

She Loves Me Not.

Chapter One: The Misunderstanding

It was the first Saturday in September around noon when a black head, brown-eyed girl stopped short as she looked into Ame's Ice-cream Parlor. Inside, seated on twin stools was her boyfriend of about three years and another girl. Kagome watched as her handsome, silver haired boyfriend, Inuyasha, laughed and touched the other girl's shoulder.

Her heart slowed. Anger began to simmer inside of her soul. Jealousy burnt to the very core of her being as she watched the girl cup her boyfriend's angular chin. The girl or was it a woman, laughed and hit Inuyasha playfully on his broad shoulders.

Kagome bit into her lip and watched her boyfriend with an eagle's vision. She could see that he was happy, maybe a bit too happy. From the way his golden eyes crinkled at the corners, to the way his sexy lips curled into a smile, down to the way his broad, manly shoulders lifted and fell filled with mirth; she could tell that this girl or woman with the flirty white mini skirt and constricted spaghetti strap shirt, meant a lot to him, meant a lot more to him than she did.

Her eyes began to burn; Kagome knew she was about to cry and who could blame her? She had known that sexy male in the parlor for three years. Maybe she should go inside and face the 'oh-so-blissful' couple?

No.

Kagome couldn't bear having to face her boyfriend and have him tell her that their relationship was over. She couldn't bear seeing him turn away from her to look into the green-eyed gaze of the 'other' girl. But wait, hold the line, suppose that girl wasn't the 'other' girl? Suppose she was?

Kagome's heart began to gallop in fear, just knowing that she was the 'other' girl in that Inuyasha's life was enough to make her attempt suicide. She bit into her lip and her breathing became labored. She was dressed to kill.

Kagome looked down at the clothes she was wearing. It was a sexy red dress that showed off her beautiful knees to its fullest effect. The dress was strapless and coquettish. She had dressed to meet Inuyasha at his house. She had wanted to surprise him with her presence.

Inuyasha had told her that her hair was more beautiful than the darkest of nights. He had told her that her eyes shone more than the stars. He had told her that she was the epitome of loveliness and femininity.

Obviously, he had told her lies.

Because if he hadn't, he would not be mincing on ice cream and flirting with a girl that wasn't her.

Kagome sniffed in sadness and sorrow. How could he do this to her? Her heart began to sink. She looked at her Inuyasha and when she saw him lean over and kiss the other girl her heart shattered to a million, no billion, no trillion tiny pieces. Her heart felt like it was a frail sheet of glass and her boyfriend had just thrown a baseball into it.

She gripped onto her chest and tried to squeeze the pain that was lethally injected into the deepest depths of her soul but the pain wouldn't stop. It just got worse. Tears drained down her face. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She gripped her abdomen as a whirlwind of hurt and misery shot through her.

"Kagome Higurashi?" A female voice answered behind her.

Kagome turned around and nearly crumpled to the ground. It was Kikyo Miko, just what she needed, another brunette interested in her boyfriend. Kagome bit her lip, and swiped the tears from her face.

"Why are you crying, Kagome." Kikyo asked softly, as if she cared.

Kagome didn't answer, she just looked back into the parlor to see Inuyasha get up from his stool with the other girl and kiss her again. She turned away, anger replacing the anguish and agony in her soul. She began to walk off.

"That was rude," Kikyo said as she gazed into the parlor. When she saw Kagome's boyfriend with another girl, she understood. A tiny smirk lit onto her features and then she turned it to a frown.

"Oh Kagome!" She said feigning shock at what she had seen. Kikyo caught up with Kagome and stopped her from walking off. "I'm so sorry!"

"Just leave me alone, Kikyo." Kagome said softly as she tried to walk away again.

"You must be hurting so horribly!" Kikyo ignored Kagome's words. "How long have you and Inuyasha been together? Two? Three years?"

Kagome froze, she closed her eyes shut tightly and willed Kikyo to disappear. She didn't want to be pitied for being such a naïve fool. She closed her fists trying to keep a latch upon her misery.

"I can't believe Inuyasha would do this to you!" Kikyo exclaimed. "He thinks just because he's rich and his daddy is a famous musician and producer he can go and cheat on you?"

Kagome began to hyperventilate. She didn't want to hear what Kikyo was saying. She just wanted to go home to her bed and cry out all of her sorrow.

"You know what you should do?" Kikyo said suddenly.

'Run home and cry on my mom's shoulder?' Kagome's mind cried.

"You should do what he did to you."

A lightning bolt of interest struck her as her mind processed Kikyo's words. Cheat on Inuyasha? Is that what Kikyo was suggesting?

Kikyo smiled at her warmly. "You should go and be with some other guy, someone that actually cares for you, someone that won't hurt you like Inuyasha has done, someone who is sweet, kind and loving. Someone like Houjo Taishiro!"

Kagome's eyes widened. Houjo Taishiro? But why would Inuyasha be jealous if she and Houjo started seeing each other? Houjo couldn't hold a light to Inuyasha even on good days. It wasn't that Houjo wasn't a little attractive but Houjo just couldn't compare with Inuyasha Takahashi.

Inuyasha.

Kagome began to cry again. He was cheating on her. She bit her lip and tried to suppress the pain that seemed to overwhelm her. She needed to be strong.

"Stop making life so hard for you!" Kikyo raised her voice. "Inuyasha's nothing but a handsome, cheating, wealthy whoreson! He's probably been using you for oh, I don't know? You're brains? Kagome, you're a very smart girl! His parents must have told him they'd ground him if he didn't get a high grade point average!"

Kagome began to choke. She remembered Inuyasha telling her that his parents were going to take away all his money and privileges if he didn't get at least a 'B' overall for school.

Ever since he had told her that, she had been on him like white on rice. She had helped him do his homework and study. She had quizzed him and waited for him after every test to see how he fared. His dedication and effort made her love him even more.

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi had told her that she was good for him, because ever since she came into their son's life, he was always happy and his grades were always high and the teachers were always commenting and commending him to do a lot of things that would make his future bigger and brighter.

In short, his parents loved her. Inutaisho, Inuyasha's father and Izayoi, Inuyahsa's mom even called her their daughter. Her father and Inutaisho were close friends in the music business and Izayoi always invited them to dinner.

She and Inuyasha would play footsy under the table while they ate. Sometimes she would sit beside him and he would run his index finger up her thigh. Sometimes he would steal food off of her plate and she would push him away and steal his juice. All the while, the parents watched their love for each other blossom.

What had happened between them? What had made their love wither away? Had she done something he didn't like? Had she said something he didn't appreciate? She didn't know, but she knew she had to find out.

"Are you listening to me, Kagome?" Kikyo said irritated that Kagome had drifted off into her own little world.

"Yes," She nodded.

"So, I'll talk to Houjo and you and he will be together in no time." Kikyo gave her an assured look. "You know, Houjo is my next door neighbor and he has the biggest crush on you but he doesn't know how to tell you,"

"I see," Kagome said softly. "But I honestly don't know why Inuyasha would be jealous of Houjo and me."

Kikyo sighed and shook her head at her. "You obviously don't get it, if you go with Houjo that'll be the biggest insult to him. Houjo isn't as handsome as Inuyasha. Inuyasha gives handsome a new meaning. If you go with Houjo and say you love him more than you loved Inuyasha then that's an insult to Inuyasha! He won't understand how you could pick someone as, lanky and weak as Houjo."

That's when Kagome understood. If she could make Inuyasha jealous enough, she'll be able to show him that he had made a big mistake. Maybe he'd dump the other brunette and come back to her. With a small smile, she looked at Kikyo.

"I'll do it." Kagome nodded. "Please have Houjo ready to meet me Monday morning before class starts in front of my locker."

"Done." Kikyo smiled. "Now go home and rest yourself and whatever you do, don't talk to Inuyasha or else he may try to give you some sad sap story about why he was with that other girl and then try to weasel his way back into your heart." She paused for effect. "Trust me, I know men, and from what I know, they think all females are naïve and that they won't kick them to the curve once they say sweet sexy words to them. But I tell you, once you show Inuyasha that you're serious, he'll regret cheating on you, he'll dump that other girl and then if you want you can make him work his way into your heart."

Kagome smiled a little at that thought. "I like that," She nodded. "I like that a lot."

"Good!" Kikyo said. "I'm glad I could help. Now, I have to go, see ya!"

As Kagome walked away, Kikyo's evil smirk came back. "What a gullible fool you are Kagome," She said to herself. "How dumb can a girl get?" She looked at Inuyasha who was just walking out of the parlor. A grin lit her face. "Inuyasha you'll be mine in no time. I just know it!"

Kikyo watched as Inuyasha walked off, he wasn't even aware of what was happening. Kikyo let a wicked sound escape her throat. "And Muso, you want to dump me just because you're going to college? Too bad, you stupid fool. I'll have a new boyfriend by the end of the week and he'll be named Inuyasha Takahashi."

For an intelligent girl, Kagome sure is foolish ain't she? I mean she's listening to Kikyo. (Did anyone hear screams and choking? I know I did). What will Inuyasha do? Find out in the next chapter: What happened?
