Disclaimer: I don't Inuyasha, really, but if anyone knows where I can pick up a pair of those kawaii doggy ears for my boyfriend, let me know.

Summary: I got the motivation for this story after watching the movie: Addicted to love. It's a cute movie if you ever need something to do on a rainy day. Basically Kagome was dumped by Kouga so he can go out with Inuyasha's girlfriend Kikyo. Now single, Inuyasha and Kagome decide to team up and make their ex's lives miserable. But what happens when the start developing feelings for each other?

Thanks for reading all my other stories! It was greatly appreciated!

Enjoy and happy Reading!

Just a note: Thanks to everyone who review the last chapter of my story! It was greatly appreciated! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was really busy and then I went on vacation, and then college started again, and well there you have it. I will try to update as soon as possible, but there maybe some time in between updates since I really have to focus my energy on school, although I would rather write about Inuyasha all day.

Chapter 3: Confusion and Complications

Kagome groaned as she shut off her alarm clock. She had been up half the night working on her "secret" and had to wake up extra early today to make sure that she was the first person at school. She quickly got dressed in her normal green and white uniform, grabbed a slice of toast to go and practically ran to school.

Upon reaching her classroom door, Kagome was glad not to find any other students. She silently walked over to Kouga's desk and left her "secret" there, making sure it would be the first thing he noticed when he walked into the room that morning. Her sneaky work done, Kagome decided to go and catch up on her missed sleep in the library until the bell rang to mark the signaling of the first period class.

Kagome was awoken out of her shallow slumber by the ringing of the school's bell signaling the time to proceed to your first class. She walked to her classroom and managed to make her way to her desk amid the sea of other students entering the room. Just as she was pulling out her chair to take a seat, Kouga entered and walked towards his desk, not noticing the pink pastel package until he almost knocked it off.

"What the hell?" he muttered as he picked up the frilly pink package. "Are these cookies?" He muttered to himself, hoping that they were since he had missed breakfast that morning.

'Hmm…no note, I guess they must be from Kikyo.' He said to himself as he smiled sheepishly.

Kagome, watching the display out of the corner of her eye, and mentally gave herself a high five for a job well done, as Inuyasha entered the room. He nonchalantly glanced her way and she motioned for him to look in Kouga's direction, which happen to coincide with Kikyo entering the room smiling and walking over to Kouga's desk.

"Wow, Kikyo, you shouldn't have." Kouga said to her in between mouthfuls of cookies. "These are really good. How did you know that double chocolate chip are my favorite?"

Kikyo face dropped into a frown and contorted with jealousy, as her eyes narrowed. "Kouga…dear…those aren't from me." She said as calmly as possible.

Kouga looked surprised. "What do you mean?" He asked still not understanding.

"I didn't leave you the cookies." Kikyo said, more annoyed now than before.

"You mean there from a secret admirer?" Kouga asked, his eyes going wide with surprise. "There was no note on them, so I assumed they were from you, but that's awesome too." He said as he munched another cookie, as a dumbstruck look came on his face.

"Kouga, why don't you just throw them out?" Kikyo said through clenched teeth.

"No way! They're homemade. Here, they're delicious, you should try one." He said, as he reached into the bag to get her a cookie.

"Umm…no thanks. I'm going to my desk now." Kikyo said with anger as she stormed away. Kouga just shook his head in agreement, too much involved in his cookies to really listen to her.

Kagome took this opportunity to glance at Inuyasha. The two caught eyes and smiled at each other, as Kagome winked and mouthed the world 'later' to him, just as the bell rang to signal the start of her history class

Class was over for the day, and Kagome was just about turn the corner to head for her house when she saw Inuyasha running towards her.

"This morning was awesome." He says with excitement. "Did you see the look on Kikyo's face? She was sooo pissed! High five!" Inuyasha said as he put his hand up in the air and watched for Kagome's to make contact.

"Glad you liked it" Kagome said, meeting his hand with her own. "It should have been good, since I was up most of the night doing it.

"Yeah, well, it was great. Good job." Inuyasha says with a smile.

Kagome smiled back until Inuyasha looked at his watched and announced that he had to run if he wanted to get to kendo practice on time.

"I'll see you Friday. You live at the shrine, right." He asked quickly.

"Yup. Friday after school then." Kagome says with a smile.

"Sounds good. See you." Inuyasha says as he waves goodbye and takes off in the opposite direction.

"Bye" She called after him, rolling her eyes, and starts walking towards home. She could believe that Inuyasha was still so immature about protecting his image.

The rest of the week flew by in a flash, and Friday went by even faster. Kagome had just finished grabbing her books out of her locker when she decided she needed to get home, and fast, so she could freshen herself up before Inuyasha came over at four. Kagome didn't have much of a chance to talk to Inuyasha since she had planted the cookies on Kouga's desk, mainly because of Inuyasha's reputation which, 'had to be protected at all costs'. Still, she was excited about seeing him now, so she rushed home a little faster than normal and got changed into a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt. She ran her brush through her hair and straightened up her room a little bit. When she was satisfied, she went down to the kitchen and got a drink, deciding she would watch TV until Inuyasha came.

Hope you Enjoyed!
