Well time to make up a new story. I should be working on my others...but I have an idea I guess...anyways...here goes nothing!

~*~*~*~Don't Give Up~*~*~*~

DISCLAIMER: (i never put these...lol) I do not Inuyasha...but I did steal him and lock him in my room! MWAHAHAHAHA...*looks around*

~*~Chapter One: Faithless~*~

'Dammit...' A girl with medium long raven hair fiddled with her pencil in class. 'I hate school'

She hadn't been feeling her best lately. In case you hadn't noticed.

"Kagome?" Another raven haired girl, hair in a ponytail, tapped on her friend's desk.

Kagome lazily looked at her friend, "Yea?"

"You...ok?"

"Fine"

Truth was, she was anything but fine. her mom had finally remarried, thinking it was best for the family. Kagome didn't exactly 'love' her new step-dad. What's more, is her and Hojo had broken up last week. Hojo 'just wanted to be friends'. Sarcasm had become her best friend, hadn't it? She sighed in her Algebra class and silently cursed herself for no reason.

Meanwhile, Sango was quite worried about Kagome. This was NOT the Kagome she remembered. Course, she couldn't completely blame her. I mean, her and Hojo had been dating for...three months now? Yes, three.(A/N: I think while I type...sorry lol) Sango thought some more on it as class ended.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Feh!"

"Inuyasha! Can't you at least consider it?"

"I said no!"

"I believe you said 'Feh!'. Not no" A black haired boy mocked the silver haired one.

Another day, another arguement. No big deal. Best friends have 'em all the time, "Miroku, I don't want to!"

Miroku sighed. He was trying to convince Inuyasha to put his guitar and singing skills to use in a band, but Inuyasha insisted it was only for fun.

Kagome and Sango left their class and glanced at Inuyasha and Miroku. Miroku waved them over. Sango took in a breath and dragged Kagome with her, "Hey guys."

Miroku smiled, "Why hello Sango! Hi Kagome"

Inuyasha was messing with stuff inside his locker. Which he'd been doing for about three months now. (A/N: *COUGH!*)

Miroku tapped Inuyasha's shoulder, "Inuyasha! At least PRETEND to care our friends came to say hi!"

Inuyasha blinked, "What do you mean 'pretend'?!"

"Well you're being rude"

"Shut UP!"

"AH!!!!" Miroku leaped behind Sango in an attempt to escape Inuyasha's fury. He quickly recovered, and saw something just begging to be grabbed.

"MIROKU!!!!" *SLAP* Sango rolled her eyes, "Do you mind?"

"Not at all Sango"

*SLAP* The three left Miroku with two slap marks on his face. Inuyasha shook his head, "He should learn to keep his mouth shut."

Sango and Kagome both nodded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Moving onto other things...Kagome?" Inuyasha leaned over to try and move on from Miroku. It was a fun subject, but Sango had begun beating Miroku, so he couldn't hear them making fun of him. (A/N: Poor guy...lol)

"Yea?"

Inuyasha spoke without thinking first, "Have you and Hobo finally broken up?"

Kagome fought tears and nodded, "His name's Hojo."

Inuyasha blinked. He could smell the salt water gathering at her eyes. He tried to fix it, "Oh...whhe-when'd it happen?"

Bad move. Kagome choked and looked down, "Friday..."

"Oh...I'm...uh sorry"

Inuyasha turned back to his paper. He was not sorry they broke up. He was just sorry Kagome was this upset about it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

School was over, and Inuyasha was bored. He sat in the gymnasium...in the gym. It was the only room always open to students. He usually left his guitar at school, it was easier to play in the gym. There was a stage too. Yes, stage. One for plays that came into town, or any performances the school wanted to show off. The gym had bleachers, it worked out good. But back to the actual story...

Inuyasha strummed his guitar for awhile and sang 'for fun':

(JUST to let you all know. I did not write this song. In the story, Inuyasha did, but in real life, Lifehouse did. Called 'Take me Away'...nor the next song...it's called 'Spin'. Also-Lifehouse)

(Hints, ...nevermind...)

He stopped playing and sat the guitar down. Kagome was listening from the outside door to the gym. It was a hobby. Listen to Inuyasha play, since he never played when he knew someone was listening.

Kagome turned and began walking home, 'Ugh...I hope what's-his-face is still at work'

She dragged her feet and slid the door open to her house, "I'm home..."

Kagome's mother, whom I shall name...Misaki walked out of the kitchen with a smile, "How was school dear?"

"Okay. Just the usual."

Misaki nodded and smiled again before re-entering the kitchen to cook dinner. Kagome took off her shoes and headed upstairs.

"You're late AGAIN." Kagome looked up, not that she needed to. She recognized the newest voice in her house. Her step-dad was leaning against the door to her bedroom, blocking her only place of refuge. He, whom I shall name Fuyuki, raised and eyebrow, "Why?"

Kagome took in a deep breath, "I had to pick up an assignment."

"Why's that? Did you skip school or something?"

"No. We were just supposed to go get it after school."

She hoped that was enough and she could get past, but sadly, she could not. He rubbed his chin, "Well, you gonna be late tomorrow too?"

Kagome sighed, how annoying! She shrugged. Fuyuki noticed her annoyance, and slapped her across the face. Kagome's eyes widened and she covered her right cheek.

He walked off, "Don't be late again!"

She rubbed her cheek and entered her room. She closed the door and spoke under her breath, "Jerk"
