Thanks for the reviews everyone. And to the kitty that gave me some tips, thanks so much. I really needed that, and I humbly accept your suggestions. But the reason I'm not good with summaries are because I'm long winded and I tend to tell the whole plot of the story in the summary. And my grammar is always chopped and screwed because that's my unique way of writing. But I still thank you for your suggestions. I welcome them with open arms and an open mind. Yet, on to the story!

Chapter 2: Look-a-likes

(Inuyasha's POV)

Damn it all. Why couldn't I just say hi to her like a regular person? Why did I have to grab her and say that to her? Damn it, Inuyasha! Damn it!

"Inuyasha," My brother, Sesshomaru, beckoned to me, "what is it that troubles you?"

"Nothing." I answered; avoiding my brother's stare…he always knew how to tell what was wrong with me even if I wasn't looking at him. But before I could get up and walk away from him, he shot out his next question,

"The incident that happened today is what's bothering you, isn't it?"

Before I could catch myself and control my anger, I had already jumped up, saying, "NO, IT'S NOT! SO JUST FUCK OFF!"

My brother didn't respond to my outburst…he just sat there looking at me. He had already figured out that was my problem.

"Sit, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru stated plainly. But instead, I got up and headed out the door. I had to clear my head and sitting in the house with my brother wasn't going to help any.

As I stepped outside, the cool, night air blew a gentle breeze and instantly I felt so much better. Tomorrow will be a better day. I told myself.

A different breeze blew and it carried the scent of a bonfire, beer, marijuana smoke, and a bunch of wild, sweaty teens. It was just what I needed to completely get my mind off of everything that was bothering me, so I headed in that very direction.

When I arrived at the party, it was just as my nose told me it would be: marijuana smoke filled the air, enough for anyone and everyone to catch a contact high, four different kegs were in the middle of a big circle where three different muscular guys from different fraternities were trying to chug down the beer, and the DJ was in the far corner of the beach on a stage blasting a variety of hip-hop, upbeat pop, and heavy guitar rock music with the inebriated teens surrounding him.

I walked around until I found what was calling me the most: food. College parties always had the best food…and punch, even though it was always spiked, but I wasn't complaining. It has been plenty of nights that I could barely make it home after drinking so much punch.

Sesshomaru hated the college life because he didn't want me to end up like him: so intoxicated that he went home with a human and came back with a daughter named Rin. Not that I didn't love my niece, she just talked to damn much and I wish she would shut the hell up sometimes.

But American girls gave some good brain. I just couldn't resist a drunken hot girl who wanted to give me nice blow job. Then I would fuck the dog shit out of them and then go home. Hey, what could I say? These sluts didn't care and I didn't either. I'm all for the lust and not the love.

As I picked up another piece of pizza and started scoping out my next chick who was going to take me home and give me a nice little piece of ass for the night, I caught her sent; the girl that I had been so rude to today.

Ka-Kagome Higurashi. Just the thought of her name made my heart flutter and skip a beat. I have to get the fuck out of here!

I ducked out around the crowd, almost knocking down some people surrounding the DJ, but the more I tried to avoid her and her friends, the more it seemed that she was headed towards me so I jumped up into a tree before they could spot me.

"Kagome, I'm so glad that you came to the party with me." Her female friend said to her as they made their way through the crowd. A dude was following behind them and the first thing I noticed about him was that he had a bright red handprint on his left cheek.

"No problem, Sango. I know you didn't want to be here alone with Miroku." Kagome responded.

"Ahem. I'm not that bad, Kagome." Miroku tried to defend himself as he stared at a highly intoxicated girl stumbling by. She had on a mini skirt and a halter top that was slowly but surely slipping down to expose herself to the next guy she was planning on hooking up with.

"Sure…you have good intentions…sometimes. But you just don't know how to go about expressing them." Kagome countered.

"What? I can't help that Sango smacked me because I asked her if she would bare my child. She took the liberty to leave her handprint on my cheek."

"It was inappropriate." Kagome and Sango answered him.

"Says you." Miroku answered back before he turned to follow another inebriated girl that had already taken her shirt off and running around the crowd making whooping noises.

"Lecher!" Sango yelled after him. To Kagome, "I don't know why I am so naïve when it comes to him."

"You really like him, Sango. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"You're right, Kagome, but I just wish he wouldn't be such a…a…"

"Playboy?" Kagome finished off for her.

"Exactly," She breathed a heavy sighed and continued, "well, I guess time will improve things. Right now, we have to concentrate on getting you someone."

"What? Me? Why?"

"Because, Kagome, you haven't had a boyfriend since you've been in the States. You're in America, girl! The least you could do is experiment."

"Uh, no, Sango. That's not me and you know that."

"I know, but I'm just going to have to change that." They laughed together.

"Well, good luck with that." Kagome finished as they began to make their way through the heavy crowd again.

I stayed in the tree for the rest of the party and watched Kagome dance with Sango and turn down other dudes when they came to ask her to dance. It made me wonder why she constantly rejected them. She's a beautiful girl and any dude there would love to be with her.

Maybe they just aren't her type. Maybe.

It made me wonder if I were down there and I asked her to dance, would she dance with me, but remembering what happened earlier today stopped my thoughts in their tracks. Of course not.

I settled back into the tree and finished watching her. Kagome's gestures, looks, and even her demeanor reminded me so much of Kikyo.

Heh. Kikyo, huh? My first love and my first heartbreak. I thought we would be together forever, but I guess Naraku offered her more than I could ever give her so she left me to be with him. She even game him five children! But one I killed with my bare hands and another Naraku killed. The only ones that are still alive now are Kagura, Kanna, and Hakudoshi. Damn you, Kikyo. Damn you, Naraku. I hope you both rot in hell.

I turned my attention back to Kagome and her milk chocolate eyes were staring up at me. No! She can't be! I've hidden myself well! Well…I thought I did!

"Kagome, what are you looking at?" Sango interrupted her.

"Uh…nothing. I just thought I sensed something. It was nothing." She said as she turned back to her worried friend. "But I'm ready to go home now."

"Yeah, me too. Let's go." Kagome nodded and they started around the crowd to collect the lecher and head home.

Once they disappeared into the darkness, I jumped down from the tree and headed on a slow walk home with the same cool breeze that led me to the party.

When I arrived back home, I entered as quietly as I could, but I stepped on one of Rin's toys and it made a loud thud noise that I knew woke Sesshomaru up, but he didn't call on me like he usually would. My guess was, he didn't want to wake up Rin, and neither did I. I hated arguing with my brother in front of my niece, so I headed towards her room and quietly opened her door to check on her. She shifted quietly in her canopy bed, muttered her goodnight to me, and drifted back to sleep. I closed her door gently and went to my domains.

I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling as Kagome's face clouded my memory. She saw me…I know she did. But I couldn't worry about it now. I just let her face and her smile soothe me off to sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day.
