Hey, it's me again. I'm so new to this site, LoL, I dunno what I'm doin. I think my story's on the main list but ever since I've added the second chapter I haven't seen it so I decided to go ahead and add the third (longest) one that I've written so far. So, it might be a little while after this update until I update again so add me to your favorites or bookmark the story so you wont forget about me (although I know known of you possibly could ;) ) Thanks for all you who reviewed, I hope I'm doin OK so far. I'm still a little hazy about where I'm going with this story, but I'll try. Well, enough about me, on with the story.

Chapter 3, The Plan

"I can't believe him," whispered Kagome, now safe in her room with a steady stream of tears flowing down her cheeks. "He had better not try to come and get me or he's gunna be telling me what it looks like on the other side of the world after I sit him that many times." She smiled a bit at the thought of Inuyasha pounding through the earth until he ended up in some weird region he had never seen before.

Just in case he might try to come, she grabbed up her wallet and stuffed it into her snug fitting jeans, that she had changed into, and ran off to the mall for a good 200$ spending spree to get her mind off of things.

"Eri!! Yuri!! Ayame!! , I'm so happy to see you guys!" Kagome yelled at her three closest friends.

"What's wrong Kag?" Eri asked automatically noticing the hurt in Kagome's eyes.

"It's Inuyasha... he's such a jerk," admitted Kagome, "I just need to buy some things to relieve some stress, yanno?"

"H-e-l-l n-o, not until you spill," said Ayame automatically.

"Ya, Kagome, we really worry about you with that guy, he's bad news," Yuri added with a bit of concern in her voice.

"Well.....ok....," Kagome said doubtfully.

And so she spilled (minus a few little details) . She told them all about how she cared for him so much and he MUST care for her because he acts like it all the time. How he gets so jealous when any other guy even looks at her and he's worrying about her nonstop if she isn't by his side. Then she told them about Kikyo. She claimed that she was his ex girlfriend whom he wronged horribly by cheating on her yet he feels like he owes her something because he has so much pride. He claims he killed her (on the inside) but really he did no such thing, it was all just one big set up, so now he's stuck with a promise to her that he'd marry her (which might as well be going to hell) and he refuses to break any promises. Kagome inwardly smiled at how proud of herself she was for coming up on the whole Inuyasha cheating on Kikyo scheme, she thought it was quite brilliant.

"....It's so confusing guys, I mean he'll be so sweet and nice to me and act like Kikyo is just a bad dream, but every time she shows up he runs to her like a lapdog to his master." Sigh "I just don't understand, sniff sniff, I mean, am I that ugly?" Tears began to slide down her cheeks and soft sobs escaped her as her mind screamed 'Don't cry! Don't cry! Don't cry!'

"NO!!" yelled the girls in unison.

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome," sighed Ayame. "I believe it's time for you to learn about a little game I like to call, playing hard to get. Once he thinks that your not interested he won't be able to resist not having you!"

"Yup, Kagome, it's true, you'll be his forbidden fruit, and judging by the way you say he acts, he can't stand not getting what he wants, it's p-e-r-f-e-c-t," agreed Eri.

"Uhh, I dunno guys, what if I just push him farther away?" Kagome responded tentatively.

Sigh

"Kagome... your not even considered an adult yet, sheesh has this guy got you wrapped around his little finger or what! If he won't accept you then there are millions of other guys out there who would die to. Face it, everyone has a first love and almost everyone loses him or her one way or another," Yuri told her in the most serious voice she could.

"Ya, Kagome, plus that guy who has already pronounced his love to you," winked Eri.

"Oo oo oo," gasped Ayame, "or that guy that asked you to bear his child," she said as a huge smile spread across her face and her eyes began to glaze over.

"Ew guys, those two are just my friends, and Miroku is a total perv Ayame! And not to mention in love with one of my other best friends," Kagome said with the most disgusted look on her face. "And I would never be interested in Kouga, we're just friends and that'll never change."

Suddenly a huge smirk appeared on Eri's face. Well that doesn't mean Inuyasha has to know that.

Wink

"Hmm, I dunno, I feel kinda bad leading Kouga on like that....," Kagome replied, still not to sure if this was that good of an idea.

"Stop being such a pussey and let the lessons begin!" announced Ayame, thoroughly thrilled that her friend would finally start standing up for herself when it came to this guy.

The four girls huddled up close in the WacDonald's booth and told Kagome everything she should know to get her guy back. Thirty minutes and a long discussion later a wide smile spread across Kagome's face. 'This is perfect! But can I pull it off?'

Back in the Feudal Era

'I'm such an idiot,' Inuyasha thought while mentally punching himself, 'there's a girl whom I'm with everyday and I know I have feelings for, yet all I seem to be able to do is push her away. I mean, she loves ME, the real me, not the human part of me, but the whole package.....but..... Kikyo.'

Sigh

"Why so glum?" a perky Miroku shouts up the tree that Inuyasha is resting in. "And where's Kagome?"

"Home."

"What?! She went home already? What'd you.....oh, lemme guess, Kikyo?" came a voice from the bushes behind the monk and Inuyasha.

"I didn't know listening in on others conversations has become a world renown sport!" Inuyasha screamed at the stunned demon slayer.

"Sheesh, I was just seeing where everyone went," Sango admitted, now also in a bad mood. "He sure does know how to bring the whole group down with him when he crashes and burns."

"I HEARD THAT!!" Inuyasha came leaping through the bushes ready to pounce on the one stupid enough to talk about him behind his back.

"Well, Inuyasha, I see your mood hasn't quite brightened," came the cheerful voice of Kagome standing in the clearing with the young fox kit on her shoulder.

"Kagome?! You were only gone for an hour?" Inuyasha asked, dumbfounded as to why she was here, now, and in the highest spirits nonetheless.

"So you're not happy to see me, I see," she winked playfully at Inuyasha. "Don't worry about me Inuyasha, my friends gave me some advice and I'm no longer concerned as to what goes on in your love life." She smiled brightly at how calmly she had said the last sentence and even began to fool herself. 'This is gunna be a piece of cake.'

Well, there's that. I personally am not at all thrilled with that chapter and in my mind the next chapters are a lot better, but then again that is just my mind so I'm not positive but I'm slightly disappointed at myself for that one. Oh well, I guess it was just meant to be one more chapter to get the story started with like the main idea and junk. Please review anyway and tell me what you think and if you hate this chapter, don't stop reading because the next ones SHOULD be better. hehe, I love that face, Anyway TTFN
