Disclaimer: Inuyasha is mine, fools! You can't have him!

-Lightning strikes me-

Me: 0.o… Oh my god. I'm sorry. I'll never lie again. Don't hurt me!

Kagome sighed and shut the yearbook with a loud thump, hoping to erase everything that had just come back to her. Why was Inuyasha so upset that she didn't remember him? Why would she want to? He had cheated on her with that wicked junior, Kikyou. She was Kagome's age even though Kagome had been bumped a year, but rumors about her had been circulating since before she was a freshman. Everyone with any sense stayed far away. Kagome had never imagined Kikyou's next victim would be her boyfriend Inuyasha. Especially when she thought things were going really good between them.

Now that she thought of it, he was always rude and never ceased arguing with her. Sure, they had some good times, but they were usually followed by fierce arguments and days where they wouldn't talk to each other. Kagome really had liked him though, or at least thought she had… The time after the break up was horrible for her. He didn't even let her down easy. Right after she saw him with Kikyou, he said he didn't want to be part of her life any more. Kagome had been shocked of course. Her heart had been ripped out and left to bleed on the carpet. She credited herself for one thing though: having her pride when she left. She walked up to him, slapped him smartly across the face, and walked away.

Maybe her memories of him were a tad harsh, but why should she even remember him in a good way if their relations had ended in such a manner?

She hadn't talked to him since, and from what she had heard before she graduated, he was doing quite well with Kikyou. Kagome couldn't stand living in her town anymore. Right after her graduation, she took her diploma and fled to Hollywood, seeking fame and comfort. She gave up her scholarship to Stanford, and tried to make it big time. Unfortunately, about every other teenage girl was there too, most of their dreams being crushed. How did she, Kagome, a regular girl from Minnesota catch the eye of the designers and model agents? Whatever it was, she was thankful, for if she hadn't gotten picked she wouldn't be any better than the hordes of women standing on the street corners for less than pure reasons. She had even tried to call Inuyasha once after she was sure of her modeling position to rub it in or maybe make him think twice about what he had done, but his brother had answered and hung up on her when he said he was going to get Inuyasha. She never had tried to make contact with him again, figuring there was good reason Sesshoumaru didn't give his brother the phone.

Kagome shuddered, and slowly got up from the carpet. No sooner had she got up then the doorbell rang loudly. 'Must be Sango' she thought to herself and made her way downstairs to greet her. She heard an excited shriek from the doorway and saw Sango rushing up the staircase towards her. She was tightly embraced, and then bombarded by Sango talking mile-a-minute about how good she was today.

"Sango, stop! Rewind! Tell me about this guy! I want to know everything!" Kagome said, trying to put on a happy face for her friend. She wouldn't want Sango to worry about stalkers or people with bad intentions at this time.

Sango didn't seem to catch Kagome's mock happiness and started off.

"Well I went to a bar last night and sitting there, offering to buy me a drink was this magnificently handsome man! He was so sweet and said all the right things, and oh my god, he was wonderful!" She burst, giggling happily.

Kagome nodded and pasted a smile across her face, but could honestly say she was rather afraid of Sango in this mood. She usually wasn't as… hyper as she was now, and she didn't show any signs of calming down. Kagome took and inconspicuous step away from her best friend, and patted her gingerly on the head.

"So when will I be able to meet this guy?" She asked, wondering what kind of god could turn her normal, sane friend into this babbling schoolgirl.

The door bell rang a second time, and Sango gave Kagome a pleading look.

"I invited him for dinner!"
