I made a more modern version of the Bride. So here it is, the Girlfriend. I deleted my last story because I thought that it sucked. Anyways, I think that overall, this is an improvement from the Bride.

Chapter one: Meeting

The first month of summer.

Kagome stared at the Tiffany Bubbles Necklace. It was $26,500…while Kagome only had $15,000 dollars in her bank account. She had really wanted to buy the necklace for her mom's birthday present but she was nowhere near that amount of money. So instead she settled for the Bezel-set necklace for $15,500.

I know! Kagome thought, I can earn the rest of the money this month and then borrow some from Sango.

"Um, excuse me. But can you hold the Bezel-set necklace for a month so I can get the money?" Kagome asked the clerk.

"Well I guess I could hold it for you, but if anyone comes around and does have the money, I have no choice but to sell it to them so I suggest you get the money fast. If it's too expensive you can also get the earrings. The Tiffany Lace Sunburst earrings are only $6,550."

"No thanks I'll stick with this. If it's going to get sold then can you phone me?" Kagome asked as she handed a piece of paper to the clerk."

"Sure, no problem."

Kagome walked out of the Tiffany Jewelry store.

At the same time….. (At Inuyasha's Mansion)

Inuyasha stared at Miroku like a predator ready to eat a prey. Inuyasha had just found out that Miroku had created a commercial saying that girls under the age of 20 and above the age of 15 can try out to be Inuyasha's girlfriend since Kikyo dumped him and he needed a date for his father's engagement party in Paris. Since Inuyasha was the heir of a billionaire and a multi-million company, girls sprang at the chance to date him.

"Tell me something Miroku; did you grope enough girls in the room to satisfy yourself?" Inuyasha asked with a grim expression on his face.

"Well, now that you mention it…I don't feel very satisfied. I had just started when you barged in the room." Miroku stopped and swallowed his words when he saw the muscle in Inuyasha's cheeks flex, then flex again. His jaws were clenched now. Inuyasha was trying so hard to hold on to his patience.

"I'm leaving." Inuyasha said as he headed towards the door. Then he turned around and added with a grin. "I'll find myself a girlfriend, and Miroku, how much do you want to bet that she will be much better than all the other girls in the other room right now?"

"$5,000, and if I lose, I'll stop groping for a week. Under one condition, I have to drool AND faint. She has to be that gorgeous. And we all know only one girl has made me do that so far and that was Kikyo. She was the HOTTEST!" Miroku yelled as he pictured Inuyasha's Ex-girlfriend.

Inuyasha looked at Miroku in disgust at the mention of Kikyo.

She is the last person I want to think about right now. Inuyasha thought.

"Ok, Miroku, I accept the bet. Get ready to lose. We all know I never lose; I can get my hands on anything. People are wrong, money CAN buy happiness." Inuyasha stepped out of the room and turned down the hall.

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

I can't believe Kikyo left me for Naraku! She has some nerve to humiliate me like that! And just because Naraku received his inheritance before me. She chose him because he had more money than me…at the moment anyways. That bitch should've waited until I got my inheritance from my father. It'll be 5 times more than what that ugly bastard got. I'll show her what Inuyasha Taisho is really capable of! If only I can find the right girl. No doubt she won't even hesitate a second before she says yes.

End P.O.V.

Inuyasha Jumped into his Silver Ferrari and drove out of the driveway. The car screeched as he turned onto the road.

First stop, the mall… I can find some pretty girls there.

Inuyasha was walking past the Tiffany Jewelry store to head to Victoria secrets to see if any of the really cute girls were there today when someone caught his eye.

Kikyo? Inuyasha thought. No, its not, Kikyo just had the darkest tan last week when she broke up with me. This girl's skin is not tanned at all. It's the summer time too. Odd, it seems as if she has never gone to the beach at all.

As Inuyasha came back to reality he overheard the conversation the girl had with the clerk.

"No thanks I'll stick with this. If it's going to get sold then can you phone me?" Kagome asked as she handed a piece of paper to the clerk.

"Sure, no problem."

As Kagome walked out of the store she was stunned to see THE Inuyasha Taisho sitting on the bench outside of the store WITHOUT at least fifty girls drooling over him. Guys like him disgusted her. She hated guys like him more than she hated defrosting the ice cream machines at Dobson's Ice cream shop (Where she works.) She just looked straight ahead and started toward the elevator. Inuyasha was stunned. He was certain that she had seen him, but then she had just kept walking.

She probably didn't see me, but why do I feel like it was a REJECTION? Inuyasha thought as he got off the bench and started towards her.

Right before the door of the elevator closed, he slid his hand between the doors and reopened them.

"Um, excuse me, but you could've gotten on before I closed the door instead of just sitting there." Kagome said with irritation in her voice. She was already late for her job and she had to catch the next train.

Inuyasha just stared at her. He was so caught up in the sight of her that he didn't hear a single word she had just said to him.

He stepped into the elevator. As the door closed behind him. The elevator started to move down to the last floor.

"Excuse me, but what's your name?" Inuyasha asked in a polite voice. He had read in a magazine that if you are polite to begin with, girls don't care what you act like after you've hooked up.

"Kagome Hiragashi." Kagome answered.

"Well then, Miss Hiragashi. I am here to offer you a deal of a lifetime." Inuyasha smirked. She's going to gasp and be so happy when I finish telling her what the deal is.

Kagome just looked at him. Although she hated him, she wanted to know what this deal was. She was never a person to back down on deals. The higher the stakes of a deal, the more intrigued she became.

"Alright then, what's this deal of a lifetime you have for me?" Kagome asked. Her emotions controlled so that he couldn't see that she was actually excited to make a deal, but her eyes showed more excitement then words could explain. Inuyasha had noticed. He grinned over that.

"I want you to be my girlfriend for 2 weeks." Inuyasha said with a grin that showed his perfect white teeth. Inuyasha waited for Kagome to throw herself into his arms but her reaction was too different from what he expected.

"WHAT THE FUCK! ARE YOU CRAZY!" Kagome yelled.

Inuyasha was stunned to immobility. Never has this happened to him….ever.

That was how…the beginning of a LONG summer started for Kagome and Inuyasha…
