A/N: Okay…I personally don't have ANY IDEA whatsoever of writing this story, when I know that I'm a very sucky authoress, and no one is going to review my stories. But I'm weird in a way. I am totally obsessed with love/hate ideas, because they try to trick the other person into something, yet they go opposite. You guys probably have no idea what I'm talking about. I'll probably delete this story if I don't get many reviews. T.T

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Geez, why do you disclaimers even bother me, anyways? * Chases away disclaimers* Now we'll just receive some peace and quiet. (I'm only going to write one disclaimer for this whole story…that is if I get lots of reviews)


Summary: When Inuyasha accidentally fell for a trap, the deal was that he had to make Kagome fall for him, and then crush her heart. But what if he falls for her…(AU, IK)






The Game Of Love

Chapter One- We Hate Each Other So

By: Astassy Sukako










- - Kagome's POV - -

If there's something in a person that I despise, it's LIERS. And little pranksters who think that they are the best, when they know that they aren't.

If I could erase one person from this world, it would be Inuyasha. I mean who could get more annoying, and arrogant like him!? He just stalks people for no reason, and makes others feel as if they are stupid.

Oh, shoot. My stupid locker isn't opening again. Guess I got it jammed from yesterday, when Inuyasha was throwing mud balls nearly in my face from yesterday morning. Fortunately for me, it was HIM who got all the humiliation, NOT ME.

~*~*~* Flashback ~*~*~*
" Come on, INUYASHA! Let's go!" The high-pitched voice of Kikyou seriously rang through the area of the whole freaking yard right in front of the main entrance of school. I swear. Sometimes I seriously want to kick that sorry girl in the ass. She gets on my freaking nerves.

" KIKYOU! STOP GLOMPING ME LIKE I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Inuyasha made a harsh move to get away from under Kikyou's grip, which he didn't quite succeed. He saw me laughing like heck. Guess I made the wrong move.

" Kagome! Special delivery!" Inuyasha managed to pick up some mud from the moist ground, and then throw it with all his might on my face. I screamed like bloody murder and managed to move right, but instead of my face, he hit on SPLAT on my shirt. My beautiful white uniform, that I washed so hard, and ironed neatly was ruined. By my Number #1 enemy. I swear I though I'd burst. Suddenly, I had a terrific idea, with a white soccer ball that was near me.

" Here, Inuyasha! Catch this!" I managed to yell from behind him. And just when he thought he could actually believe me for some crazy reason, I threw a big fat soccer ball covered with wet mud. Of course some of it flew away after my huge throw. Don't ask how I managed to steal a soccer ball in such short notice.

At first, it just hit him. Made a big "BOING!!" when it hit him on the face, and seriously squeezed his face into a nice flat pancake. This head must've been so hollow to make a weird sound like that. I swear I was crying from laughing too hard. Sango turned around, and was trying her hardest to stop herself from rolling on the floor.

When the nice soccer ball did my bidding, I looked eye-to-eye with a VERY PISSED Inuyasha. Seriously, I thought that he would be turning into a monster, of some sort. But instead everyone was laughing at him, and started to yell out:

" Ooh! A girl beat Inuyasha! Inuyasha got beated by a girl!" Nearly everyone yelled out in unison. Inuyasha's face was as red as a cherry tomato. But then this face turned to its normal color, and an evil smirk appeared on his face.

" Yeah, whatever Kagome! At least I can get a girl, unlike you, the only boy who would like you would go nuts, and try to run away from you! Only a baka would fall for YOU STUPID!" His voice was so loud; I thought that everything from Mars could hear this ugly voice.

" Grr… I'LL GET YOU INUYASHA! SOMEDAY I WILL!" I started to run after him like lunatic and chased him inside the class, where he ran in the hallway, and I calmly walked. Inuyasha ran as fast as possible, while trying to look at me from a distance. As Inuyasha slipped on his feet (because his feet were dirty from outside where it was covered with mud) he fell backwards, on his back flat, and knocked the wind right out of him.

I cracked up like crazy, and I thought that I would be dying from a lack of air.

" LET'S JUST SEE WHOS A BAKA, BAKA!" I turned to the nearest corner, and opened the door to my first class.

~*~* End of Flashback ~*~*

Ah… the sweet memories from yesterday. I grinned, and finally managed to open my locker with the help of my trusting friends, Sango.

" You know Kag-Chan, I thought you would really have more energy in your veins then me." Sango shrugged, but opened it up. And I yelled.

" HOLY HELL!" I screamed in the top of my lungs, while I literally collapsed on the pile of worthless crap from Inuyasha.

There were piles of candy that wrote, "I love you Kagome!" and "Kiss me!" I covered my mouth to yell any further.

" Hey Kagome! Feeling loved yet?" Inuyasha snickered as he passed by me. I grinded my teeth, with the feeling to punch him, and kick his sorry ass.

" DON'T TALK TO ME!" I grabbed my fist and aimed it right at Inuyasha's stomach, but amazingly he caught my hand. An evil chill went right down my spine, and I shivered. At least I tried to shiver. But I couldn't seem too.

His hand was much more warmer than I expected it to be. A tiny feeling of kindness rushed into me, and made me want to say that I was sorry. But when I opened my mouth, the words wouldn't come out. They were stuck through a cork that stopped me from being " Miss Goody, good Kagome."

" Get the heck away from me!" I withdrew my hand, and kicked with all my might at the junk that lied beneath my feet. I couldn't even imagine how he could actually spend his money on such things. Most likely Miroku bought all this junk for his best friend.

" Aww, how sweet…" I muttered in disgust. As I looked toward the spot where Inuyasha was last standing, I soon noticed he must have ran away.

" Come one Kagome. Hopefully the janitor will clean all of this up." Sango held out a hand, which I grabbed, and helped me up to my feet, and I grabbed for my black bag, and walked out of school with Sango.

The cool summer breeze blew in the air, as the birds sang their melodious songs, and the sun high up in the sky warmed up Tokyo. I knew that there were the fireworks today, and I wasn't going to be intended to miss it. I mean, when do I even get some free time, besides all of my studying for the monthly exams? School was almost beginning its little break, and it meant good-bye Inuyasha for a full month (A/N: You see, in Asian countries, the schools give a little break from early August, or sometimes late July, and start back in late August, and then from December to January, or February or something, schools start again ^^)!

" So Kag, have you picked out your kimono you're going to be wearing the the fireworks tonight?" Sango's voice alarmed me from my thoughts.

" Umm… not really. ^-^" A small sweat drop appeared on Sango's head.

" Same here… well why don't we go shopping today?" Sango asked. I felt so relieved to have a wonderful friend such as Sango.

" Alright!" I replied.

" So, why don't we go shopping right now?" Sango asked me, and I nodded. Well, at least no Inuyasha for tonight. I swear, ever since he found out my e-mail address, he's been e-mailing me FOREVER. Not like I read them. I just blocked him a year ago, and he's been making new e-mail addresses since.

We caught a black taxi, and immediately asked him to transport us to Tokyo Mall, which he did in 15 minutes. Sango paid the money (and I protested that I would, but she won) and we finally arrived.

(A/N: Okay, I never did really go shopping, so I dun really know teenagers do when they are shopping, and I'm probably going to make it so boring, you'll fall asleep.) Sango and Kagome entered the glass door, and went to the 3rd floor where they would find their clothes. Kagome pinked a light pink colored kimono with a light lavender colored strap that tied around her waist, with came up above her knees decorated with beautiful purple, white and pink flowers. She also bought a pair of light lavender colored sandals, while Sango preferred blue sandals and a turquoise colored one-piece dress, which stopped on her knees. I also picked up a white colored hair clip with embedded sapphires, while Sango picked out a normal black hair crunchy.

We ate some ramen noodles, and guess who we saw? You'll never guess.

INUYASHA AND MIROKU, SHARING THE SAME TABLE WITH US, AND IT WAS THE ONLY TABLE LEFT.

If I hadn't been carrying my plate of noodles, then I would've walked away, but I didn't want to waste 300 yen for nothing! (A/N: You see, 100 yen is 1 dollar. Thus 300 yen would equal to 3 dollars.) I grunted, and sat by Inuyasha. Sango had to sit right in front of me, which was right next to Miroku. Oh, the joy.

" Hey, Kagome! I thought you hated us!" Inuyasha whispered in my ear.

" Oh, get a life, and shut up for once, would you?" I grunted. " I HAVE to sit here, because I'm not planning on wasting my money on some food I bought." I picked up my chopsticks, and dug in hungrily, while Sango and I drank some water along, and ate some rice.

Gosh…I should've known that Inuyasha like ramen noodles. I thought as Sango only looked down at her food and ate, ignoring all the funny faces Miroku made right next to her.

" Well, at least I'm done." Sango and I both said at the same time, and realized that our shopping bags were gone.

" Shi-shoot." I whispered. Now that goddamned Inuyasha and Miroku are going to be doing a little bit of creative work to our clothes. I sighed, as we ran out of the restaurant.

" Well, they couldn't have gotten too far." Sango managed to pant out. I nodded in agreement. And when I find them, I'm going to make them so sorry. I panted, and finally found our shopping bags. Up in the water fountain.

" HOW THE HECK DID THEY GET IT UP THERE?" I yelled in frustration. They would never give up…would they?

" Don't worry," Sango managed to whisper. " I'll try." And with her last words, she grabbed a small boomerang and tied a metal chain on the end of it. With a several swings, she managed to throw up her boomerang, get the shopping bags handle caught in the metal chain of the boomerang, and it returned right to us.

" Domo, Sango-Chan. You're the best." I smiled at her, as we started to walk outside, and when I checked my watch, it read: 5:45.

" Well, we'd better hurry, and take and shower AND get dressed. We don't want to miss the beginning of the fireworks, including the free dinner with the first 10 people to enter!" Sango and I grinned, increasing our pace, and when we finally reached Sango's home, which we decided to change since it was much closer to the Tokyo National Park where we would see the fireworks, Sango allowed me to take a bath first. I turned on the warm water, and using some of the raspberry scented bubble bath, " Sure to relax anyone into a relaxing night, with no stress." Now that would come in handy. I thought. After the tub was filled, I relax for several minutes, and drain the water out, and took a shower, washing my hair in blueberry scented shampoo and conditioner. Sango sure did have wonderful things.

I used a new lavender colored towel, and dried up my hair, and wiped my body. I put on my underclothes, and then my dark pink kimono with beautiful white, purple and pink tulips, and dried my hair, until it was soft, and twisted my hair up into a fancy bun, and clipped it with a little finishing touch with my white and embedded sapphires, hair clip.

Maybe I'll just borrow some of Sango's make-up later. I thought, and quickly rushed out of the bathroom, giving Sango plenty of time to do whatever she needed to.

I found a little note which read:

Hey! Kag-Chan, you can use some of my new make-up that I bought just yesterday. Feel free!

Kagome softly sighed, and smiled at the note, and quickly opened up the box containing some make-up.

Kagome used a light pink colored lip stick, and put a special coating over her lips to make them shine and glimmer in the light. She also applied some peach colored blush, and then used some special lotion imported from France.

In a quick moment, Sango appeared with her clothes, and applied only some blush, and then we both got our new sandals, slipped them on, and brought with us 500 yen in case of an emergency.

We went outside, and caught a taxi, and when we arrived to Tokyo National Park, and saw that we were the 9th group to attend dinner. Unfortunately, we saw Inuyasha and Miroku. And they just had to sit right next to us.

I heaved, and pretended not to notice any foolish tricks Inuyasha and Miroku were doing to try and attract us to our attention. Once in a while, Sango and I gave each other a little smile, and tried to make our special night, relaxing and enjoyable.

" Attention, minna-san!!" An announcer with a microphone appeared on stage, and he sang a little song of introduction, which surely sounded like crap to everyone.

" Let the fireworks… BEGIN!" Everyone's attention attracted to the sky and some music was playing in the background. We realized Miroku and Inuyasha had disappeared, and we sat down a little blanket on the grass, and stared at the fireworks.

Everyone cheered, and clapped their hands when a big firework that looked like a gigantic phoenix appeared in the sky.

" Erm, hey girl! Want some drinks?" Miroku asked Sango and me as he held out 3 bottles of cider.

Sango and I looked at it suspiciously. " Miroku, if this drink is poisoned, or if it makes me go sugar crazy, or high, I'm going to report you." I was awfully thirsty, and Sango sure was too, the way she snatched a bottle quickly out of Miroku's hands.

It was about 30 minutes past, and the grand finale began.

" Ladies, and gentlemen…boys and girls! We have one special announced tonight, and this is a special firework, specially prepared for a love one…" His voice trailed off, as I stared. Hmm-funny thing how Inuyasha's not here. I thought of it to be awfully strange, but I shrugged and heard the voice once again.

" And the special fireworks title is……. I LOVE YOU KAGOME HIGURASHI, WITH ALL MY HEART! FROM YOUR BOYFRIEND/FUTURE HUSBAND INUYASHA-KUN! Those letter appeared the same time this lunatic man yelled it, and everyone gasped as the letter appeared in the sky, yellow, purple and red, while many flowers made from fireworks appeared in the air. Until a picture of Inuyasha kissing Kagome on the cheek appeared in the huge blimp, and a firework of the picture appeared.

My eyes seemed to come right out of my sockets. I wasn't even sure if I had any eyes anymore.

I screamed for my dear life, hoping that this was just a BIG nightmare.

A/N: Sucky, eh? This story won't be in anyone's POV unless you guys want it to be that way. Just to tell you folks, sorry if you hate long chapters, but this is the way I like it, and that's the way it's going to be. Unless too many people complain. I'm just going to say this, but if I don't get at LEAST 10 REVIEWS say 'Sayonara', because this story is long gone, and you won't see it again. This story is mainly about sometimes a little deal/trick can lead into things that you haven't thought of doing so in the future. You'll see most of the real turning point in the 2nd or 3rd chapter. So ten reviews at least, if you want to know more! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! OR ELSE!
