a/n: I can't stay away from this story too long. It's just so much fun for me to write so I couldn't stay away any longer, you know? But I guess not too many people liked the last chapter. I didn't get as many reviews for it like I usually do. That's okay though. The last chapter wasn't all that. Though, I am curious... People who've read one story of mine end up reading another, then another, then finally they've read whatever I put up. I've always wondered about that... That must mean... YES! I ROCK! lol j/k Enjoy this VERY LONG chapter! I know I will :)

Dear Diary,
today is the last day of this wretched school for a whole two and a half weeks. YES! No more nagging from teachers, peers, or anything at school! From now on, I shall just be nagged at home! Ahh... Life is sweet... For this brief minute. :) Anyways, today is the day where I decide to accept Inuyasha's ridiculous scheme. If it's not bad enough that I have to deal with him for a while, but rumors are already flying about the infamous 'Kags', Inuyasha's new girlfriend. Whoopee... Wait till everyone sees who 'Kags' really is... Yes. Then my fun will really begin. Well, I'm going to stop writing right now. I don't really have anything else to say. Well, aside from 'I NEED TO GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING STILL! AHH!' ;)"
She closed her diary and closed her locker. She spun the small dial on her locker and walked to class, trying to get by in between all of the people there.
"Hey, did you hear about Inuyasha's new girlfriend?" some student asked.
"Oh yeah! I heard that she's Brazilian or something..." another answered.
Kagome mentally scoffed. 'Ha... Brazilian. Amazing what people come up with now a day...' she thought as she continued to make her way through the mass.
"No she isn't! Well, anyways, I heard that she's prettier than Kikyou!"
'What?' Kagome asked mentally, slowing her pace to hear the conversation.
"What? There's no way anyone is prettier than Kikyou!"
'Pssh... I agree,' Kagome concurred in her mind.
"Yeah, well, supposedly she is."
Kagome continued with her normal pace once the group of students had stop talking about 'Kags' and started talking about make-up or something. Though, her paced slowed once again after she heard more students talking about her.
"Where did she even come from? I haven't heard about 'Kags' before!"
"Me neither, but rumor has it that she's Brazilian..."
'Oh, my goodness! I am not Brazilian! Who started that stupid rumor?' Kagome asked mentally.
"I doubt it though. She's probably pretty average..."
'Thank you! Finally! Someone with some brains!' she complimented the student in her head.
"Maybe, but I bet she's a bitch..."
Kagome stopped abruptly in front of the girls who were talking about her and glared at the one who had made the statement. Suddenly, the girls stopped talking and looked at Kagome.
"Uh, can we help you, freak?" rudely asked the girl who had said the 'bitch' comment.
"Ya know what?" Kagome asked dangerously.
"What?" the girl asked annoyed. Too bad Kagome didn't get to finish the conversation. Another one of Inuyasha's minions interrupted her.
"Higurashi! Higurashi! Hey!" yelled the familiar voice of the first year student.
"Never mind..." Kagome said to them as she turned to face the messenger running to her.
The girl scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever, freak." She and her friend turned around and started walking away.
Kagome felt her fists clutch. Man, how she just wanted to punch them in the face at that moment!
"Higurashi!" the boy said as he approached her. He slowed down as he saw Kagome's eyes. There were fire in them. "Uh... Uh, I, uh, have another note for you... Uh, from Inuyasha..." he said timidly. Kagome snatched the note out of his hands and growled out a light 'thank you'. The boy sped off down the halls, truly frightened by this girl.
She stormed off down the hall as she read the note, being careful not to bump into everyone.
'Higurashi,
I need you to meet me on the bleachers by the track field right now. It's really important. Thanks.
Inuyasha
PS You wouldn't happen to have any food with you, would you...? Just wondering...
Kagome rolled her eyes. When was this boy ever not thinking about food? She lifted up her hand and looked at her dark red wrist-watch. She had about 15 minutes before class started. She'd have enough time. She sighed and took off down the hall, to the back of the school to the track field.
(-)
Inuyasha sat in the middle of the 5th or 6th row of bleachers. It was very cold, but he wanted to meet her there because there wasn't anyone out there due to the cold. That, and no one ever came out to the track field, well, except for all of the weirdoes of the school, but they were always off somewhere else like by the gate or the entrance or something.
About five minutes had gone by and Inuyasha was starting to worry whether or not she was coming, or if she had even gotten the note yet. His hopes were reassured once he saw a girl with large glasses and a huge jacket start to climb the bleachers and approach him. She sat down several inches away from him and the two sat in silence for a minute. Suddenly, she pulled out a granola bar from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Here... Enjoy," she said softly as he took the food out of her hands.
"A Chewy?" he asked as he looked at it.
"Just eat it..." she told him as she rolled her eyes. Inuyasha mentally shrugged and started to eat it. "So," she started as she looked around the field. "Why'd you want to meet?"
"Well," he started between mouthfuls. "I want to know what you're answer was. If it's 'no' then we need to brain-storm on what you want from me."
Kagome suddenly smirked. This was her chance to mess around with him. She turned to him and placed her hand on his leg. This surprised him and he looked at her with wide eyes. "I want you to be my slave..." she said seductively.
"What!" he yelled, dropping his granola bar and standing up. "You can't expect me to do that! There is no way! You've got to pick something else!" he yelled as he marched down the aisle. Suddenly, he heard Kagome giggling. "What's so funny!" he yelled as he stopped in front of her and started staring her down.
"It's-ha ha! It's only a joke, Inuyasha! Ha ha! I don't really expect you to be my slave! That'd be inhumane! Ha ha ha!" she laughed. "But, yeah. I've decided to take up your offer."
"Oh... Well, that's good," he said as he sat back down. "But that wasn't funny! Don't ever mess with me like that again!" he yelled, pointing a finger at her.

"Wednesday, December 17th
Dear Diary,
I've been on vacation for almost a week now. Mom has been making preparations for Christmas like crazy, Souta has been bragging to me about how 'good' he's been all year, and grandpa is using his little spells to try and keep our garden alive. Yep, everything is going wonderfully... Or was, until he called me this morning to tell me that we were going to the mall... Yay... The mall... Can't you tell how excited I am? Pssh... Why are we going to the mall? No one goes there! It's just a total waste of time which is a place for people with money! In case you haven't noticed, Inuyasha, I DON'T HAVE MONEY! But whatever, I need to go Christmas shopping still, so it's all good. I'll just pick up something after we're done with whatever he had in mind. What could we possibly do at the mall? Well, I'll find out shortly. He'll be here to pick me up in about 10 minutes..."
Kagome closed her diary and rose out from her desk. She had woken up when Inuyasha called and announced that he'd be there in about 20 minutes to pick her up.
She didn't care though. She took her time getting out of bed and eating breakfast. She told her mom that some strange boy was coming over to kidnap her and that he'd be there very soon. Her mother simply nodded in response and gave her daughter breakfast.
But now, Kagome had 5 minutes to get ready because she spent a decent amount writing in her diary. But it didn't matter. She didn't rush.
Kagome walked sleepily into the bathroom. Even though Inuyasha was coming over to her house, she didn't mind what he saw her in. She could be wearing a trash can in front of the president himself, but she wouldn't care. As long as she was comfortable in the trash can, she was alright.
Kagome lazily tore the brush through her hair, put it up into a tight pony-tail, and brushed her teeth. She then walked into her room, grabbed the first two articles of clothing she saw and threw it on, which happened to be a disgusting pair of brown pants and a ratty purple shirt with the words 'bite me' on it.
It only took her two seconds to get ready; That was probably the reason why she didn't care how fast she went earlier.
"Kagome! Your kidnapper is here!" her mother called to her sweetly.
"Mom! You weren't supposed to say that!" she called back as she grabbed her black jacket and raced to the door.
"Oh, I'm sorry honey..." she said as she hugged and kissed her daughter good bye.
"It's okay mom..." she said as she looked at Inuyasha. She kissed her back quickly and pulled herself away from her mom. Now that, for some reason, bothered Kagome to be kissed in front of her peers by her parents. She'd do it, but she couldn't help but let that light blush approach her cheeks from embarrassment. "Bye!" she called as she followed Inuyasha to his car.
"All right! I don't want you out too late! You hear me?" she asked as she called after her daughter and her friend.
"Who was that?" Souta and Grandpa Higurashi asked as they passed by the door.
Her mother sighed happily as she closed the door. She turned around to face the two men with a gleam in her eye. "That was Kagome and her friend... A boy!"
"What?" the both yelled in unison.
(-)
"Your kidnapper?" Inuyasha asked as he and Kagome entered his car.
Kagome blinked her eyes several times. "Yes... That's what I've decided to call you today... My kidnapper because that is what you are... someone is taking me somewhere against my will," she said stupidly.
"Ahh... Right," he said as he put the gear in reverse and backed out of her driveway.
"So, why are we going to the mall?" she asked as she reached over and turned on the radio.
"Well, if you're going to be my pretend girlfriend, we need to get you the proper accessories..." He quickly glanced down to her outfit. "... And some new clothes..."
"What? What's wrong with my clothes?" she asked as she looked down to her horrible out-fit.
'Ehh... She's so used to it, she doesn't even notice when she's dressing horribly...' Inuyasha cried in his mind.
"Ehh... Nothing. Just gotta reach... certain... standards, I suppose," he told her, trying his best to fish out an excuse.
"Whatever..." she replied as she started searching through the radio. Finally, she found something she liked, the jazz station.
Inuyasha quickly looked to her, disbelief dancing across his face. "You can't be serious..."
"What?" she protested. "I happen to think that jazz has lots of class and its WAY better than the junk our radio plays now a day!"
"Oh my goodness. No! We aren't listening to this..." he quickly said as he leaned over and changed the station.
"Yes, we are..." she said as she changed the station back.
"No! We are not! My car! My rules!" he yelled at her as he switched the station back.
Kagome scoffed. He was right. It was his car and she didn't really have the power to just do whatever she pleased... at least, not yet...
(-)
"Okay," Inuyasha began as the two walked towards the entrance of the mall. "Now if we're going to pull this off, there are a few things that you are going to have to sacrifice..." he told her as they got closer to the glass doors.
"And what's that?" Kagome asked him. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand, dragged her to the side of the doors, and placed her back gently against the wall.
"Well, first..." he said softly to her as he got extremely close to her."You're going to have to get rid of this... this horse-tail on the back of your head..." he smiled as he brought both of his hands behind her head and gently began pulling her pony-tail out, bringing their faces very close together. Inuyasha could feel her warm and heavy breaths hit his mouth and couldn't help but smile and look at her lips. He ran his hands through her hair, pulling out the occasional knot, and trying to fix her hair. "Didn't brush your hair today?" he asked as he tried to release his hand from her web of hair.
"...Kind of..." she answered timidly, never taking her eyes off of his lips. She had no idea how to react to this! Why wasn't she screaming like she would normally? Why wasn't she making an effort to push him off?
"And then..." he continued, regaining his suave voice."We need to get rid of these magnifying glasses..." he joked. Kagome gave him a sour look, which resulted in another charming smile from him. He gently brushed the back of his hand against her cheek, causing all previous thoughts about him insulting her glasses to be rushed out the window. "And finally..." he whispered as he brought his face to her ear and rested his head in the crook of her neck."You need to get used to these types of situations because I and Kikyou, or any previous girlfriends of mine, were very intimate with each other and it would be odd if we weren't like that."
Kagome closed her eyes in delight. His warm breath was tickling her violently, yet pleasing her.
"And..." He suddenly shot back from her and hit her lightly in the arm. "Ya need to lighten up! You're going to be popular soon!" he laughed then took off inside.
Her eyes shot open and looked around, trying to realize what just happened. When she saw no Inuyasha, it all came back to her. She turned towards the doors angrily and stomped inside. "That jerk..." she muttered under her breath.
(-)
The two of them had ventured to practically every clothing store, every feminine store, and practically every jewelry store. Inuyasha was treating her like a princess! He was buying everything for her... except for the things she wanted. He said they were too much like "Kagome" and not like "Kags". She would only roll her eyes to this statement. It was his money though, so she just guessed that he could buy whatever he wanted to with it. Often, she would ask him how he had all of this money and why he was spending so much on her, but he would just tell her to stop worrying about it and just enjoy what she was getting.
No matter how much he told her to stop thinking about it and enjoy it, she couldn't shake the feeling of guilt though. He was being so nice... He wouldn't let her pay for anything. Why would Kikyou give this up? This wonderful, wonderful boyfriend? It wasn't like he was officially Kagome's boyfriend so she wouldn't really know how much Inuyasha would treat his girlfriends like a princess.
"Okay, I think we've covered about every girly place I could think of in this place..." he said as he looked around.
"What about there?" she joked, pointing to a Victoria's Secrets store that they were just passing by. Inuyasha looked at the store she was pointing to and looked as if he took this thought into consideration. "I'm just kidding..." she said quickly as she saw the look on his face.
Abruptly, he grabbed her hand and started dragging her into the store.
"No! What are you doing! I don't want to go in there! Especially with you!" she started to shout. Inuyasha could feel all of the attention being pinned on him from the surrounding shoppers. Suddenly, he turned around.
"Yes, you will!" he whispered dangerously, but loud enough for her to hear.
"No! I won't!" she protested. "I am not going into that store with you! Do you even know what kind of store that is?" she whispered back.
"Yes! It's the store for... the... stuff!" he said dumbly as he waved his hand and the one that was holding Kagome's in the air to show what he meant.
Kagome gave him a look. "Oh, really? And what exactly is this 'stuff'?" she asked as she mimicked Inuyasha's movements.
"It's-screw it! I'm not going to tell you about a store that sells things for women's more voluptuous areas! We're going in there!" he said as he started dragging her into the store.
"No! Please! I don't want to!" she complained. It was no use. This stubborn ass had won the battle, but he had not won the war!
"Hi," Inuyasha said to the woman at the counter. "My... girlfriend," he choked out, "and I are looking for something that will add more to her... curves..." he described with his hands again, still not letting go of Kagome's.
"Umm... Alright. Follow me..." she said as she walked from behind the counter and to another section in the store. "I believe that this is what you two are looking for," she told them as she removed a garment from the hanger.
Kagome's mouth hung open and her eyes scrounged into little brown balls of disbelief. It was like lingerie and there was no way she was going to wear that.
"Perfect!" Inuyasha said triumphantly.
"What?" she cried.
"Lovely. There's a changing room in the back, ma'am, if you'd like to model it for your boyfriend before you decide to buy it or not..." she said as she handed the garment to Kagome and walking back to her post at the counter.
"You heard her! Go try it on for me!" he smirked waved his hand in the directions of the changing room.
"You're stupid! I'm not going to wear this for you!" she yelled at him.
"I know! I know... Thought I'd give it a try... Now just go try it on so we can make you look a bit more appealing to people..." he said as he motioned her to the changing rooms.
"What did you say!" she growled.
"Nothing! Just go!" he said as he shoved her into the changing room.
(-)
After about 10 minutes, Kagome decided that she liked the article of clothing and that it did make her look more "curvier" so Inuyasha bought it.
"Alright, that just about covers it. We just need to fix your nappy head and buy you some make-up."
"Make-up?" she scoffed. "I don't wear make-up..."
Inuyasha looked at her then tinged his face in disgust. "Yes, I can see that..."
"Shut up!" she said playfully as she hit him in the arm with a bag. He smiled at her. Sometimes, she was a bit cute once her glasses were off and her hair was down, though her clothes still needed quite a bit of help. He stopped looking at her and looked forward, and then he saw it.
"Oh... Shit," he muttered, but Kagome heard him.
"What? What is it?" she asked as she looked forward. Then she saw it too; Kouga Phillips, Ayame Yamine, and a group of their friends.
"Quick! Hide!" Inuyasha yelled as he looked to her frantically.
"What? Why? I am supposed to be your girlfriend, aren't I?" she asked as she started to cross her arms over her chest.
"Yes, but they can't see you like this! They have to see you when you're better looking!" he cried.
"You are so rude!" she yelled at him.
"Oh, man!" he panicked. Kagome wasn't ready for the viewer's eye yet. She still had her ratty clothes, her nappy hair, and she still needed make-up! He looked to his friends that were coming closer, but hadn't noticed him yet. "Kagome, we can argue later! I just really need you to hide!" he pleaded to her.
"Nope," she replied stubbornly, closing her eyes and looking in the opposite direction. "I am not moving and that is fina-Ahhp!" She opened her eyes to see that Inuyasha had covered her mouth with his hand and dragged her to the bench that was facing the opposite direction. He laid her down across the bench and placed the bags beside him. He sat down beside her, crouching over her, and making his best effort to try and hide them both.
"What are you doing?" she asked boredly.
"Shh! They might hear you!" he whispered to her.
"Good!" she replied loudly. "I hope they do hear me!"
"Kagome!" he said a bit too loudly.
"Inuyasha?" he heard Kouga's voice ask.
"Shh!" he shushed and placed his hand over her mouth again once he saw Kagome open her mouth to say something else. "Please, Kagome! Be quiet!" he begged as he got closer to her face, only a hand separating their lips. "Please, Kagome. Haven't I been nice to you today? Can't you at least just do this one thing for me?"
Kagome looked into his eyes. He really wanted her to be quiet. Besides, it was only fair to do this for him and he had probably spent about a thousand dollars on her today. She sighed underneath his hand and nodded her head.
"Thank you!" he whispered as he removed his hand, yet their faces were very close.
"Inuyasha! I thought I heard your voice!" Kouga's voice boomed over their heads suddenly. Inuyasha closed his eyes tightly in annoyance then re-opened them when he turned to face his "best friend".
"Oh, hey Kouga! Fancy meetin' you here!" he said cheerfully.
"Yeah, well, Ayame wanted me to hang out with her..." he said, bringing a finger to his mouth and started making a gagging gesture. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at his actions, catching Kouga's attention. "Ooh! And who is this lovely young lady, Inuyasha?" he asked as he looked to Kagome.
"Hi. I'm Kago-"
"Kags! This is Kags!" Inuyasha corrected for her. She looked at him angrily. 'It's not like he would know who I was anyway!' she complained mentally.
"Oh, so this is the infamous Kags I've heard so much about!" he smiled. He looked at her face; She was very pretty. The way her hair just seemed to be so natural was beautiful, her rosy cheeks added a natural blush to her face, and her skin looked so soft and creamy. He then examined her body, or what was not being covered by the hovering Inuyasha. Her body wasn't that bad either. She had nice long legs, and from what Kouga could see, a pretty nice rack. "Wow..." he said approved."You're quite the beauty, Kags!"
'Here he goes again, flirting with whatever moves...' Inuyasha thought boredly. It was like it was routine for Kouga. He would always flirt with his current interest or girlfriend. What was up with him? It was like he was competing with him to see who could get the girl. He was Inuyasha's 'best friend'. Why couldn't he just accept the fact and find someone else?
"Oh..." Kagome replied blushing and still lying on the bench. "Thank you..."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes in disgust. Was she blushing because she was infatuated with him? 'Feh... Pathetic...' he thought.
"Hey, Inuyasha!" Kouga said as he lightly punched him in the arm. "We're all going to Shoubo's tonight around six to eat! You and Kags should come!"
"Oh. I don't think I can..." Kagome said. "I've got to be home by then I think."
"Bull shit!" he laughed. "Just come and hang out! Get to know everyone!"
"Seriously, I'm not sure..." Kagome replied.
"Oh, come o-"
"Kouga. If we can, we'll come. If not, then we won't. It's not like it'll be the last time you ever see us..." Inuyasha cut in.
'Wow...' Kagome thought. 'Did he just stick up for me?'
Kouga nodded his head in an annoyed fashion. "Okay. Then I guess I'll see you two after winter break," he said as he started to leave the bench. "It was nice meeting you, Kags!" he called.
"You too!" Kagome replied as she slightly lifted her head up from the bench.
"And it's nice to see you making out again, Inuyasha! Especially on benches in malls!" he laughed.
"What?" the two yelled in unison.
