Ok, so for everyone that doesn't understand, this use to be my oneshot. I've decided that I really liked it, so I wanted to change it into a story. I'd really appreciate it if people reviewd, because I really need some ideas and comments about it. I also do accept flames, so any type of opinion is great. I'll just try to make it better. So, enjoy!

Chapter 1
By: Aquarian-Amythest
"Unghh. Why do you have to be so cruel!" Kagome yelled as she looked to the sky. She was walking home from school and crossing the street as the rain started to pour.
Today was NOT Kagome's day.
Flashback
Kagome's morning alarm went off. From beneath the covers, a pale hand slowly crept out. She started to pound on her dresser. Finally, she found her alarm clock, and hit, what she thought, was the snooze button. Kagome drifted off into sleep once again...
She awoke to the even brighter sunlight hitting her face. She slowly sat up, examining the room. Kagome yawned.
"Hmmmm...today is going to be a GREAT d---OH NO! SCHOOL!"
She immediately reached for her alarm clock. She had exactly ten minutes until school started.
"Oh no, i'm going to be late again. If only Inuyasha were here...what am I saying! He's probably off with Kikyo right now..."
Kagome began to zone out but quickly regained her senses.
"I have to go and fast!" Kagome hopped out of bed and dressed faster than she ever had before. She ran into the bathroom, did her daily routine, ran downstairs and grabbed a piece of toast.
"Bymombygrandpabybuyo!" She said, almost too fast for anyone to even know what she was talking about.
By the time she had gotten to school, Kagome was already 20 minutes late to her first class. She bolted down the hallways, making sharp turns, and almost smashing into walls. When she finally reached her class, the door was open. She was almost there...when she skid across the entrance of the door, pass her classroom, grabbed a hold on a wall, and slipped. In front of the entire class, might I add. The room was silent. But not for long. A small chuckle came from the back of the class. Soon a few more. Eventually, the entire class room was laughing hysterically, as the teacher stared down on her.
"So, you finally decided to show up Higurashi. Please take your seat, and see me after class" Kagome let out a big sigh as she stood up and walked to her seat. She sat down and shifted uncomfortably. She kept moving around, once again causing a disruption in class. She stood up slightly to tuck in her skirt to sit down, when she felt something sticky. She pulled her hand away, and notice that she had sit down in a big, wet, juicy pile of chewed gum. She made a disgusting look, as whispers and stares were the only things she noticed.
"Miss Higurashi, is there a problem" the teacher said.
"Um, can I use the bathroom?"
"Class is nearly over. Your going to have to wait until then."
"But--"
"No buts! Now take your SEAT or step outside." Kagome
sat down, feeling a squish.
Today was NOT a good day.
Once that embarrassing event was over, they just kept coming. She had left her backpack open, and when she was walking outside, all of her papers went flying everywhere. She had to run all around like a fool, and still didn't catch them all. During P.E., she was playing volleyball when the ball came straight at her and...
SMACK!
It hit her right in the face. Now she had a HUGE bruise all day. Also, during lunch, she had spilled her drink, so now she had to walk around with a large purple stain on her shirt.
"Man, can this day get any worse?" At that moment, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi came running to her.
"Kagome! Kagome! Kagoooohmygod! What happened!" they all said in unison.
"It's a long story"
'Too long to even explain. I wonder what mom will say when she sees my bruise. Not to mention Inuyasha, he'll probably think that I...wait! I don't have to see him for another day! I have to stop thinking about him! But, why do I feel like i need him right now?'
"Hello, earth to Kagome! Are you alive?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, hi."
"You never told us what happened!"
"Well it's too long to---"
"Hey Kagome! Oh dear! What happened!" Hojo said, trying to start a conversation.
'Why do I continuously keep getting interupted? Jeeze, they have a real nerve since i've been having a ba--'
"Here Kagome. For you!" Hojo was holding out two tickets.
" I was thinking we could go to the amusement park tomorrow? How does that sound?"
"Um, well, actually I--"
"SHE'D LOVE TO!" Eri yelled, even though she was already about 2 feet from Kagome and Hojo.
"Great! I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8:00. See you then!"
Hojo was beaming with excitement(that starts to get a little scary sometimes)and walked away, practically skipping.
"Eri? How could you do that to me?" Kagome whined.
"Well you always say no, so I thought this would be a great time for you and Hojo to spend some time together!"
"Well maybe I---"
"It will be fun!" Eri interupted...again.
"WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP INTERUPTING ME! I'VE HAD A BAD DAY AND YOUR NOT HELPING!" All three girls were silent, and Kagome stormed off.
School was FINALLY over and Kagome started to walk home. She had been honked at twice for not paying attention while crossing the street. Kagome let out a loud sigh.
"What's wrong with me today? It's like I've been cursed with bad luck!" Kagome thought back to the days before to remember if a demon had put a spell on her.
"No, I don't think it was a demon...maybe just a bad day. I'm sure it can't get any worse than it already is!"
End Flashback
Kagome was now running home, trying to dodge the rain, but not doing a very good job. A loud thunder boomed in the air and Kagome had to cover her ears.
"Almost...there..." she said, panting. She ran up her steps, and made a sharp turn towards her house. She was so close to the door, yet so far away.
"I'm already soaked, so I don't think it will hurt to walk a little."
Kagome slowed her pace to a quick walk. But unfortunately for her, her bad luck had not ended. The thunder clapped louder than before, startling Kagome. This, of course, distracted her, and she didn't notice the rock in front of her. She tripped(yet again) and fell flat into a puddle...a puddle with lots and lots of mud. Kagome was now officially freaked out with her luck today.
"Oh...no...why me? Does someone have a grudge against me or something?" Kagome said while spitting mud and dirty water out of her mouth. She slowly got back up and started to walk into her house.
"Mom...Grandpa...Sota...I'm home.." Kagome said glumly.
"Well hello dear! How was scho--" Ms.Higurashi's eyes went wide.
"My gosh, honey, are you ok?" Ms. Higurashi had a concerned look in her eyes.
"I'm fine mom. Just a bad day"
"And that BRUISE! What happened!"
"Mom, I'm ok, really. I just--"
"Hey Kagome...Uh...Kagome...why do you look like me when you say sit?" Kagome's heart skipped a beat. Inuyasha was standing in the hallway, and what was that? Was that...was that a look of worry in his eyes?
"In-Inuyasha! What are you doing here! I still have another day!" Kagome managed to spit out.
"Well, I came to take you back early...but I think you might want to bathe first."
"I'm not going back today. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow." Kagome's temper was rising. He had no right to always drag her back like that!
"Well, you always take so damn long, I figured it would make no difference!"
"Of course it will! What were you thinking?" Kagome yelled.
"Oh dear...here we go again.." Ms. Higurashi decided to stay out of this one, and she walked back to the kitchen.
"Well you can't treat me like some kind of luggage for you to just take anywhere!"
"Why not! Your useless anyway! I just need you for jewel shards!"
"Why you little...sit damnit!"
"KAGOME!" Ms. Higurashi was shocked! Her daughter never had a foul mouth!
" IT'S INUYASHA'S FAULT! HE'S ALWAYS SAYING IT!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TOO!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TOO!"
"I DO NOT DAMNIT!"
"SEE YOU JUST DID! NOW SIT!"
CRASH!
"stupid...wench...treats me like...shards of..." Inuyasha kept mumbling stuff, but Kagome paid no mind. She stormed off to her room. When the spell wore off, Inuyasha stormed after her.
'Damn, he really has the nerve! Stupid dog-boy, thinking he can just--'
"What's wrong!" Kagome spun around and saw Inuyasha at the doorway. She blushed very lightly. Inuyasha's face was muddy from when she sat him. Apparently, he landed in one of the mud piles she had dragged into the house. Kagome began to giggle.
"And what's so funny wench?" Inuyasha was getting frustrated. He didn't find anything funny.
"Inuyasha..giggle your...your...giggle...your face is covered in mud!" Kagome began to laugh...a lot.
"Huh?" Inuyasha looked in the mirror.
"Look what you did!"
"What I did? What did I do?"
"You brought mud in then sat me on purpose!"
" I did not! It was an accident! Well, the sitting part mostly...but still!"
"Damn woman! What's with you today!" The room went silent. Inuyasha could smell the faint scent of salt. Kagome was about to cry.
"Wait, Kagome. Please don't---"
"Just shut up and sit!" Kagome stepped over Inuyasha's flat body and walked into the bathroom.
30 minutes later
Kagome walked in her room to find Inuyasha sitting on her bed.
"What took you so...so..." Inuyasha never finished his sentence. He was staring at Kagome. Kagome was wearing a light pink spaghetti strap top, with light pink pajama bottoms that had puppies all over them. White puppies. Her hair was down, but still glistening with water. She looked beautiful. That was only half of what caught Inuyasha's attention. The other half was...well...the huge bruise on her face. Slightly on her eye, a little on her cheek, and the side of her face. Kagome started to blush with the silent and staring hanyou.
"Um...i-is something wro-wrong?" Kagome studdered. Inuyasha stood up and slowly walked towards her. Kagome backed up a little and looked at a VERY interesting piece of string on the ground. Trying her best to hide her blush, she looked slightly up at Inuyasha, who was now close to her. Pretty damn close.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered. He took her face in his hand and made her look at him. Had had worry and confusing in his eyes as he touched the bruise with his other hand.
"Kagome...Kagome what happened? Who did this to you!" Inuyasha started to raise his voice a little. Kagome was blushing furiously.
"No one did. I just got hi-hit in P.E to-today."
"P.E?"
"It's a class in school. You know, when I run outside, play games, all that stuff. That's P.E." Kagome backed away from Inuyasha, making him release his hold on her. Though neither would admit it, they were both a little disappointed.
"Kagome, what's wrong? When I asked what was wrong with you earlier, I know you were about to cry"
" I was not!" Kagome started to yell.
" I'm not trying to start and argument, Kagome. I just want to know. What exactly went on today?" Inuyasha led her to her bed and they both sat down.
"Well, it all started when..." Kagome told Inuyasha the whole story. Inuyasha, surprisingly, listened to every word.
"And then I came home and saw you here." Kagome finished.
"Hmm..." was all Inuyasha could say.
"By the way, do I really have to go back today?" Kagome gave Inuyasha the lower lip. The 'Hard to say No to' lower lip. Inuyasha gave in.
"No, not today. You need rest. You've had a rough day." Kagome was surprised. Had Inuyasha actually given up that easily? Maybe today would turn out alright.
"Oh thank you so much, Inuyasha! Hey, i've got an idea! Let's go have ramen!" Inuyasha's eyes blasted open. He stood up.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Kagome quickly stood up herself and grabbed Inuyasha's hand. They blushed.
"Come on. I'm hungry" Kagome started to walk away. Suddenly, Inuyasha pulled her toward him. Within seconds, Inuyasha was embracing Kagome softly, but tight enough so she could feel it.
"Inu...Inuyasha.." Kagome said softly.
"Kagome, I'm really sorry about what happened to you today. I'll try my best not to lose my temper tonight so you can have it easy. Well, not too much." Inuyasha smiled. Kagome laughed. He's never this nice to her! Maybe she should have bad days more often!
"Thank you Inuyasha." They both just stayed there for a while until Kagome broke away.
"Let's go eat."
"Whatever you want." Inuyasha gave Kagome a calm look, and she loved it. They walked downstairs, hand in hand, enjoying each others presence.
Well that's all for this chapter! Please R&R! Very much needed!
