Review: really good!! but one question... were did you buy in inuyasha movie?!?!?! I looked at best buy and couldn't find it, so can you please like in your next review/chapter tell were you bought it, it would help a lot!! thanks and keep up the good work!!

Answer: I got my InuYasha movie at best buy. We live near one and for my birthday my friend gave me a $15 gift certificate there. So, I bought it. I got it for $17 instead of the retail price of $24.95. You can probably get it from amazon too but I'm not sure of other places. Try best buy . com, that's where I learned how much it cost and about the second movie. You can probably order it off of there. Tanks for reviewing!!!

Review: Another wonderful chapter! Milkshake, haha, that is a strange, yet funny song. Well, I hope you put the song "The Dance" by Garth Brooks in there, but it's ok if you don't. I can't really see Kramer spinning that song! Lol. C ya!

Answer: I've never heard of that song but I'll check it out. Do you have the lyrics? If you do, it would save me the trouble, please just email them to me. My email is on my profile. Tanks for reviewing!!! Oh and Kramer will spin anything I tell him because I am his almighty ruler!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Last Time...

Suddenly, she heard a low whine. And shock filled her mind. InuYasha was whining. He wanted to be accepted back and he was whining!!!

Smiling softly, Kagome pulled back and kissed InuYasha's lips softly, "Really InuYasha. It's okay. I forgive you."

InuYasha smiled before placing another claiming kiss to her lips. Kagome had accepted him once again.


Chapter 17

Hello Again

Kramer suddenly seemed to want to play ever bad song. And that's just what he did. Odd, stupid songs that no one really wanted to listen to. So, InuYasha, Kagome, and her friends (plus their dates) headed out to the cafeteria to grab something to drink.

They had been chatting happily when Eri brought up someone's name InuYasha had never heard.

"Oh Kagome! I completely forgot to tell you!!!" Eri cried, "Remember Rian, well, he's back!" Kagome froze.

"Oh ya!" Arisa said, also remembering, "He moved back into his old house! Sorry InuYasha, but Kagome may have to dump you."

"What? Kagome what are these girls talking about?" InuYasha asked, turning to Kagome. But Kagome didn't hear him. She was still thinking of the fact that Rian was back.

Rian had lived in a shrine that Kagome's grandpa was always visiting. The whole story about InuYasha was actually about Rian. They had met up since they were in nursery school, and through elementary. But in 8th grade, they're last year of junior high, he had moved away. And well, he was the first boy she had actually liked. And he was the first boy who had actually liked her back.

At first they kept in touch by email and letters, but soon they drifted apart. When Kagome learned he had a new girlfriend, a girl named Kikio. Kagome had been left broken hearted and she had vowed never to speak with him again.

"Kagome!" InuYasha cried, making her snap back into reality.

"Yes InuYasha?"

"Who the hell is this Rian?" InuYasha asked, looking really pissed of that she would like someone other than him.

"Yes?" came a manly voice from behind. They all turned around to see a young man. He was dressed in black jeans with a black shirt veering his white one. He had deep brown eyes and short, neatly cut dirty blonde hair.

A smile replaced the curiosity once his eyes fell on Kagome, "Kagome!" he cried, "I haven't seen you for so long."

But Kagome just looked disgusted.

"Rian, what do you think you're doing here?" Kagome snapped. InuYasha had never seen her so mad. He could practically feel the anger radiating off of her.

"Kagome," Rian said softly, "I've come to take you back. Please, just here me out."

"Oh and so Kikio wasn't good enough for you?" Kagome was mad. How could he come back into her like this, after everything he had done to her?

"Kagome, Kikio will never be as beautiful, and smart, and-"

"SHUT UP!!!" Kagome screamed, covering her ears, tears threatening to fall.

"Kagome!"

"Kagome are you alright?!"

"What's going on Kagome?" Kagome's friends asked, surrounding her.

InuYasha just looked up at Rian. He seemed like a nice guy but that's what he had thought of Hojo at first, other than the whole fact that he was a guy hanging around InuYasha's Kagome.

Rian looked like he had been shot.

"Kagome, I-" but Kagome wasn't listening. She jumped up from her seat, sprinting toward the cafeteria door.

"Kagome!" InuYasha and Rian cried at the same time. InuYasha jumped up and started to follow but was stopped by Rian.

"Please, InuYasha," he said, a kind look on his face, "Let me talk to her. I promise I won't be like that creep Hojo. Just let me talk to her. You can trust me."

InuYasha stared into Rian's eyes. His head told him to punch the guy out and follow Kagome but something made him stop, something made him want trust this guy.

"Fine," InuYasha mumbled, watching with a heavy heart as he dashed after Kagome.

"Why'd you let him go InuYasha!?" Yuka cried, "How do you know we can trust him!?"

InuYasha glanced at her friend, "It's a guy thing," he said meekly.

"Kagome!" Rian cried once he found the girl. She had found a seat inside the gym on the bleachers.

"Rian, please leave me alone," Kagome said softly, "I'm sorry I yelled at you back there but please, just leave me alone."

"Kagome... I should be sorry. I broke your heart to go off with some bitch. I'm sorry."

Kagome shook her head, "What's done is done. But I have found InuYasha. I'm sorry Rian, but I'm taken. You'll have to find someone else. InuYasha-" But Rian interrupted her.

"Kagome, you are mine. I was the first and I'm not going to let this InuYasha take you away from me! I'm not like that bastard Hojo! I can see that InuYasha cares about you but so do I! I'm not giving you up without a fight!"

"Rian," Kagome said looking up. There on his face was that stupid scowl of his. Suddenly, memories came flooding back to her.

'No!' he mind screamed, trying to be rid of the pictures, 'I'm with InuYasha now! I have chosen InuYasha!' But her heart, the small part she had given to Rian, refused a no.

"Rian," Kagome said again, for once listening to her head, "I'm sorry. But I've picked InuYasha like you picked Kikio. I'm not going to just drop him. And there's no way you could beat InuYasha in a fight so don't think about it," Kagome smiled softly, seeing the idea that had come to his head be wiped away so easily by what she had said.

"He's super human practically," she said, looking away at the dancing kids, "he's protected me from so much and stuck by my side. And I'm going to do the same."

Rian followed her gaze and looked at the dancing teens as well, "Your grandpa told me everything."

"WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!" she cried, jumping from her seat. Her grandpa would do that... would he?

But Rian seemed unfazed, "he thought, since I was to be the priest of my family's shrine, he thought I should know," he turned back to her, "I know about your adventures in the past and I know about your miko powers. Plus everything including the Shikon No Tama, InuYasha, and how you are the reincarnation of Kikyo who held the jewel. I know everything about how you broke the jewel and how you're now going back and forth through time with InuYasha, collecting the shards."

Kagome was stunned. How could her grandpa have told him? So he knew everything. Everything.

"Please, Rian," Kagome said, standing, "Please don't tell anyone what you know. Please. That's why my grandpa gave me all of those craze illnesses."

Rian laughed, "Ya, I heard about those too."

Kagome's heart fluttered at the sound of his laughter. She hadn't heard it in so long.

'No, stop!' Kagome mind screamed and her heart obeyed, calming down and not beating as fast, 'You love InuYasha and no one else.'

"Kagome," Rian suddenly was standing in front of her, her hands in his, like Koga did so often, "I am going to prove to you that I am better than InuYasha. I am going to prove to you how good I really am. And if that means fighting the famous half-demon InuYasha, then I shall do it."


Author's Note: Ack! A bit shorter than usual. I had to type an extra lot cuz the lyrics usually take up some room. Okay so I hoped you peeps liked it. I personally have no idea where this was going. I didn't want to make Rian a perv but I didn't want to make him mean either. I think he's a bit too nice then I had planned. -.-;;;;;; oh well. Maybe I can fix that in the next chappy.

Only one person seemed to think Hojo had come back. :) Nice try Kagome lover 2009. But no, Hojo won't be back. At least, I haven't planned him coming back. He's gone for good, for now. ::evil grin:: Just joking, no, Hojo is not coming back ever. He's gone, probably off drinking or getting high or something. -.-;;;;;;;;

Only 9 reviews per chappy now... where'd all my readers go? Maybe I should make you guys wait longer ::evil grin::. Come peeps let's get the reviews back up!!! :)

Okay I've recounted how many chappies there will be. Drum roll please! ::bang bang bang:: And there will be... ::more banging:: OKAY MICHAEL!!! THAT'S ENOUGH WITH THE BANGING!!!! Oh, sorry. Ahem, there will be... 36 chappies!!! Yay!!! ::large amount of cheers from the crowd:: I'll keep you informed if I change my mind and add (or take away) any more songs. If you guys want a longer story, give me more ideas!!! ;)

In case you peeps were wondering, Kikio is supposedly modern Kikyo. Would be her reincarnation but nooooo, Kagome HAD to be Kikyo's reincarnation. So, I went to: www . love of anime . com and went to the name translation, typed in Kikyo and out came Kikio. So, there ya go. Oh and this is how I pronounce it so it doesn't sound so much like Kikyo: Kikio; Key-Key-ewwww! ;) Oh and make it sound super high-pitched so it sounds like some kind of meow Kirara would make. ;)

Okay, I'm done.

Oh and don't forget: No reviews, No chapters! ;)
