Title: True Love

Chapter 1: The Rumor

School stared at 7:30 sharp at Kyoto High school. As usual Kagome Higurashi was running late.

"Man if I keep this up I'll never graduate" Kagome thought

10 minutes later

"I'm here" panted Kagome

"Late again I see, take your seat"

Kagome walked across the room to her seat, embarrassed

Now that Ms. Higurashi has decided to grace us with her presence, we shall continue.

The rest of the day passed in a blur of friends, teachers and homework.

"Hey Kagome, wait up" shouted Sango as ran up to Kagome

"I herd a rumor today"

"Yea what was that" Kagome said tiredly

"Well it was that Inuyasha was going to ask you out TODAY!" Kagome's eyes widened and she squealed

"NO WAY"

"When did you hear this? Do you know where he was going to ask me? And when? I mean what if all this is, is a rumor?"

Kagome ran around in a panic until Sango grabbed her shoulders and yelled

"KAGOME"

With that she calmed down

"Thanks"

"Well if he is going to ask you should go bump in to him."

"Your right" Kagome said still breathing hard and she disappeared

Meanwhile

"Hey Inuyasha" Kyo yelled

"What do you want" Inuyasha growled

"I just herd the strangest rumor"

"What was that" Inuyasha said worriedly

"I herd that you were going to ask Kagome Higurashi out" Kyo said mockingly

"Where the hell did you hear that?" an angry Inuyasha said as he thought of many ways to hurt his brother Sesshoumaru because Sesshoumaru must have herd him trying to decide last night.

"Well, I herd it from my girlfriend, Rin, and she herd it from Miroku, he herd it from Tohru, she herd it from kisa, and I believe she herd it from her boyfriend Haru."

"WHAT DOES THE WHOLE DANM SCHOOL KNOW"

Kyo backed up ten feet and said quietly" no"

"Well ok then. But then who else knows?"

"Just the coolest people Haru, your brother, Sango, Miroku, Kagrua, Yuki, Tohru, Rin, Kisa, and I don't know who ……. "

"Wait if Sango knows she will tell Kagome. They tell each other everything."

"Well then you better go get her" Miroku said as he strolled up to Inuyasha and Kyo

"If your going to do this during school you better go now schools almost over." Sango said as she came up behind Miroku

"Your right" Inuyasha said as he turned and ran down the hall

15 minutes later

"Damn I still can't find her" Inuyasha thought

Inuyasha leaned on a locker, closed his eyes and stuck out his feet. Suddenly he herd a

"Owwww."

He had tripped Kagome

Inuyasha felt so stupid

"Hey I'm so sorry" Inuyasha said

"No problem" Kagome said "I get tripped all the time"

Not knowing how to ask Kagome out to the fair tonight Inuyasha said

"Do you want me to walk you home, I mean just in case someone else trips you"

"Sure" Kagome said haply

Inuyasha helped Kagome pick up her things and they set off for Kagome's house.

"So Inuyasha, how's school been going?"

"Not very good" growled Inuyasha recalling his latest fight with his parents over his report card

"You know I could help you help you with your homework anytime time you need help" Kagome said as they turned a corner

"That would be nice" Inuyasha had decided that this was the right time " but first would you like to got to the fair with me tonight?"

At that moment Kagome wanted to jump up and down and scream but instead she said

"I would love to" Kagome smiled "Call me" and she handed Inuyasha a slip of paper with her number on it

"So what time would you like me to pick you up?" Inuyasha said

"Let's say 7 o'clock or so" answered Kagome

"Ok bye"

Kagome gave Inuyasha a hug and run inside

Jumping and screaming Kagome went to the phone to call Sango and all her other girlfriends. After putting them all on speaker she yelled

"I'M GOING OUT WITH INUYASHA!"

Then from the other lines she herd

"OOOOOOOH MY GOD!"

"Ok now you all have to just show up, were going to the fair. So bring a date and came meet me. OK I have to go get ready. Talk to you later.

For the next 3 hours both Inuyasha and Kagome had to find something to where. At 7 o'clock Inuyasha pulled up and got out. He was wearing baggy jeans, a t-shirt and a light jacket.

"You look nice" Kagome said nicely

"So do you" Inuyasha said back

Kagome was warring a v-neck tank top and a pair of boot cut blue jeans.

"Shall we go then" Kagome said

Inuyasha snapped out of his trance that Kagome had put him in by what she was warring

"Yes we should" Inuyasha said walking to the car with Kagome on his arm.
