To Catch A Star~*By PuRpLeDiRt*~
Chapter 2
* too many
things you've said about me
when i'm not around
you think having the upper hand
means you've got to keep putting me down
but i've had too many stand-offs with you
it's about as much as i can stand
just wait until the upper hand
is mine*
Inuyasha stared at the girl standing in front of him. It couldn't be her could it? It had been seven years since he saw her last. He could always remember her. He inhaled the sweet scent of rose petals that her body emitted. Hai, it was definitely her, no doubting that. He would never forget that scent she always smelled of. It was even that way when they were little. His mind slowly returned to the present and he fixed his gaze on her. Only one word came from his mouth: "Kagome"
'Oh shit, he recognized me! I was hoping he wouldn't. Shit shit shit!!!' she screamed in her mind. As she stood there like a deer caught in headlights, she tried to think of something intelligent to say. Instead, the only thing that came out of her mouth was "You asshole, fuck you!"
She turned around and stomped off leaving a very confused and bewildered Inuyasha to stand in her wake. 'Is she still mad about that after these seven years? Was I really that awful?' Inuyasha contemplated in his mind.

Seeing Kagome round the corner, Inuyasha popped out of his hiding place, grabbed her and pushed her into the janitor's closet. There was no way in hell he was going to lose a bet because this girl didn't want to give her first kiss to just anyone.
Kagome tried to scream, but a hand covered her mouth, not allowing her to do so. He eyes were wide open as she tried to identify her captor in the dark closet. She saw some dark hair swish around. She only knew one person who had hair that long: Inuyasha. Was he doing this because she had refused to kiss him? She told him that she only wanted to share her first kiss with someone she truly loved. She also knew about the bet. She had overheard some guys in one of her classes talking about how a boy dared Inuyasha to kiss her and he would kiss some other girl who didn't want to be kissed, and whoever did so first, would have the other boy do his homework for a month.
"Now bitch, I want that kiss! I don't care if you want it or not, but I will not be refused!"
Kagome was becoming furious. "Why? So you can win that incredibly stupid bet? What, you thought I didn't know about it, did you? Well that shows how smart you are!"
Inuyasha smirked. "Bitch, I'll show you how smart I am!" As he said this, his lips came down and captured hers in an angry kiss. There was no love, no passion in it. Just anger that crushed her lips, making them hurt and throb. He released her, and smirked again. "Told you I'd win."
Tears began to stream down her face. She felt so violated. She crumpled to the floor and began to sob. Inuyasha just stared at her. He had to get out of here, he couldn't stand to see a girl cry, especially if her had been the cause. He spun around on his foot and ran out. He touched his lips and began to wonder. 'I didn't do it because I liked her, I hate her, right? That's why I've teased her all my life. Then why did I feel a jolt of electricity or something as I kissed her? Why does it feel like we connected? I've got to talk to her…tomorrow.'
~*^ End FLASHBACK^*~
He remembered as clear as day. That tomorrow had never come. She never showed up at that school again. His mom had told him Kagome had been sent to an all girls school where she would stay. He never saw her again, that is until tonight. He had read about her success in music, had even listened to her cd. She was great. He wished that he could have been there to help her along the way. But, if she wanted to act like this, well, he could to. If she wanted to play that game, he was going to give her a taste of his own medicine.

"SANGO!!!!" Sango whipped around to see who was screaming her name. To her surprise, she found a very pissed off Kagome. "Kagome, what's wrong?"
"We are leaving right now. No finishing drinks or last dances. NOW!" Kagome seethed.
"Um…ok, whatever you say." Sango replied a bit tentatively. Kagome grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the door. It would have been a straight shot to her car if a 'fluffy furball' wasn't blocking her path.
"Nice to see you too, Kagome, although, I would have thought you to be a little more polite, considering the only reason you are where you are is because my half brother took you on, only after my mother begged." Inuyasha taunted. Kagome had steam blowing out of her ears by now. Sango was also getting pissed off. No one insulted her friend like that.
"Well, excuse me, oh great INUYASHA!" Kagome made sure she said the last part as loud as she could. Right then, a bunch of girls started screaming and throwing themselves at Inuyasha, pushing him out of the way of the door. There was no way they would let the pop sensation leave until they had all had a dance.
"Well, it was nice talking to you. Have fun! Tootles!" Kagome smirked as she and Sango let the building. They got to the car and peeled out of the parking lot.
Three hours later, a very pissed Inuyasha and a happy Miroku exited the building. "I don't see what you enjoy about that." Huffed Inuyasha.
"Why do you even ask? I was in such close proximity to many pretty women who I could grope and they would be none the wiser since all they could think about was getting your autograph or a dance." Miroku said.
"Feh… whatever." Inuyasha grunted. They climb into Inuyasha's car and headed home.

"I can't believe he had the nerve to do that to me!" Kagome fumed. "I swear, he is the most self-centered, vain person that I have ever encountered. I hope I taught him a lesson, 'Never mess with Kagome Higurashi unless you want it thrown in your face!'"
"Ok Kagome, I know you're upset. Hell, he was beginning to piss me off. But you can't let him get to you. You know that's exactly what he wants. He's always loved to piss you off. You have to show him you're strong and that you won't put up with his shit anymore." Sango replied.
"Well hopefully I won't have to cross paths with him again." Kagome said, trying to console herself.
"Um… I hate to burst your happy little bubble, but you know, you are both signed to the same record label, his half brother's company and your mothers are best friends. I don't think your logic will work." Sango was being realistic.
"We'll just see about that. I'm going to go home now and start writing some music. Might as well put this energy to good use instead of waste it. Bye Sango and thanks!" Kagome pulled out of Sango's driveway and headed to her house. Thank goodness her mom was off visiting her grandfather at the shrine, she didn't want to have to explain anything tonight. Kagome headed back to her room and picked up her guitar and tried a few chords, trying to get the melody that she wanted. Words swirled in her head and she had to express them. Her angelic voice carried throughout the house.
"Pushing me away
I'm just a game
What've you to say
Blame it on your fame
Inside of your head
Does anyone else matter
Keep your ego fed
Soon you'll be left in tatters
Using my feelings
You've pushed me too far
With your dealings
Now you're a star
Hard to forgive
You've hurt me too much
I'll just have to live
Without your touch"
"That's a good start." Kagome said. She just hoped that if this song appeared on an album, Inuyasha wouldn't know it was about him and hopefully he would never know she used to have a crush on him. But now, who knew? He had broken her heart with his harsh words and she would have to forgive before opening her heart.

~*Ok, sorry it took a little longer than what I wanted to get this published. I have just moved into my dorm at college and haven't had much time. Sorry this isn't as long, but it's 2:00 in the morning and I just wanted to get it published. Please R+R!!!! I really want to know what you think of my story. The third chapter will be much better, but it might be a while before I get it up. LINKIN PARK ROCKS!*~
