Hello, everyone! I see that my story has captured your attention. This is my first attempt at a long series because I usually write one-shots. I am quite new to writing fan fictions (although, I AM a very avid reader of them), so please forgive this humble authoress for her spelling mistakes / grammatical errors if you should find some.

SUMMARY – Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha Taisho, two of Shikon's most popular, rich, eligible and good-looking seniors, brought together by a simple photograph. Miroku Higurashi wishes for the best for his best friend and sister and deviously spreads a rumor that can totally change the lives of these two teenagers. But what happens when it has the opposite effect on them? Kagome could be bothered less about it while Inuyasha finds himself quite interested in the raven-haired beauty.

Pairings – InuKag, MirSan.

Rated – M for foul language.

Disclaimer – Me no own Inuyasha.

CH: 1 "THE PHOTO"

Miroku Higurashi observed his twin silently over the rim of his cup as she shook her head in rhythm with the music that was blaring from her headphones. No one looking at her would ever think that it had only been a day since her boyfriend of three years had broken up with her. Aside from her slightly puffy eyes, there was no sign that she had been practically howling the whole night. Ah, the wonders of make-up. He shook his head slightly and still continued to watch her with amused eyes. He wasn't too bothered about his sister's break-up with Hojo. Akitoki Hojo was sweet, amusing and polite. He was a straight A student with GPA 5 and he was the senior class president. While everyone found him charming and thought him to be the "perfect boyfriend" for his sister, he hadn't liked him that much. Miroku found Hojo to be shallow, stupid and over-all, a weird guy. But since Kagome was happy, that was all it mattered. Until yesterday, when Hojo called her and broke-up with her. While Kagome looked beautiful, he knew that underneath her tough exterior, she was still weeping.

His musings were interrupted by a soft musical voice-

"Are you gonna say something or will you continue boring holes in my face?" Kagome asked with her eyes still closed.

Miroku smirked and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a-

"Miroku, please don't drink that cup of milk as if it were champagne. And don't you DARE tell me that you are too OLD to be scolded! Souta, STOP picking your food. If you don't like it, then DON'T EAT IT! No need to decorate it all over the plate.

And lastly, Kagome dear, please don't sleep when normal people are supposed to be awake. People might question your sanity."

All this was said in a single breath and the speaker panted as she ran a hand through her glossy curls.

"But mom, I wasn't sleeping, I was just listening to-" protested a whining Kagome.

"Yes, yes I know you were listening to your music, WHICH reminds me – NO ONE IS TO LISTEN TO MUSIC AT THE DINING TABLE. People, are WE CLEAR ON THAT?" said Mrs. Higurashi as she glared at her three children.

All three children saluted and sang "YES, Mooooooooooooom!"

Mrs. Higurashi rolled shook her head as she rubbed her temples. "I swear, you kids are going to drive me CRAZY." She groaned. "Miki, get me some aspirin."

Miroku grinned as his mother left the room.

"So, 'Gome you gonna grab a ride with me?"

"No, thanks. I am riding with Sango today."

"Sango? THE Yamazaki Sango, you mean? Oh, she is the very epitome of-" sighed Miroku dreamily gazing into space and his mind conjured up wonderful images of 'THE Yamazaki Sango'.

"Yes, it is her. And you know very well that I have only one friend who is called Sango and before she wallops you on the head for thinking those perverted thoughts about her 'Roku, you better wipe off that drool on your chin.

Miroku winced slightly. Yes, Yamazaki Sango did indeed have a strong punch.

"Well, then I don't have all the time in the world, so see you, 'Roku." "Squirt" she added in an undertone glancing mischievously at Souta.

"Bye 'Gome".

"Bye, nee-chan!"

Inuyasha Taisho sighed as his cell phone started ringing. He prayed silently. Please don't let it be Kikyo. Please don't let it be Kikyo.Please don't let it be Kikyo. He glanced at his cell screen and nearly laughed out in relief. It was Miroku calling.

"Hey perv"

"My, my Inuyasha. Is that any way to greet your favorite best friend?" Miroku smirked from the other side.

Inuyasha growled low. Miroku and his stupid jokes.

"My only best friend, you mean. And I can even take care of that if you want."

"Touche. Touche. I wonder what crawled up your ass this morning. So, when are you coming?"

"Will be there in five."

"K, see ya then."

"Sure. Oh and Miroku…….stay away from my cousin." Inuyasha smirked as Miroku groaned on the other line.

Miroku waited patiently as Inuyasha dumped all his stuff in his locker.

"Why Inuyasha, don't you look handsome today."

"I swear, Miroku, if I hadn't know that you were 100 percent straight and a total lech, I'd say that you were turning gay on me."

Miroku grinned as he whipped out his cell phone.

"Say, Yash, smile at the camera! The camera loves you!"

"Miroku, STOP FUCKING ANNOYING THE SHIT OUTTA ME!"

"Sorry, no can do". Miroku grinned like a silly child.

"WHY YOU- FILTHY STINKING-"

At that moment, something happened. Kagome came in laughing with her friends. Sango pushed her jokingly and Kagome lost her balance and landed in the arms of none other……………..Inuyasha Taisho. On reflex, he caught hold of her and it formed a kind of …….. romantic scene. Kagome was hoisted up against Inuyasha who was holding one of her hands in his while the other clutched tightly at her waist. Both of them were too flabbergasted to speak or move and. Neither seemed aware of their position as they both got lost in the others' eyes.

"Hey, guys" Miroku smirked inwardly.

Both of them looked at him in unison. But before they could do anything, he clicked and SNAP the picture was taken. Yep, he had taken a master-shot.
