Trouble

A/N: This Chapter is going to be different. Time has passed. Sorry if some spelling errors are here. I'm trying to fix as many as possible.

---------------------------

Three years has passed without much hassle. Inuyasha and Kagome were now closer than the day they met. They were entering a new world in ther eyes. Summer was taking it's leave, bringing autumn in it's wake and with it, the last year of high school.

"At last! We're seniors!" Sango exclaimed.

"Yeah, but we have a whole new worry." Kagome put in.

"What's to worry about?" Inuyasha asked, walking up to the girls that were eating lunch by a tree in the school yard.

"Oh, there you are Inuyasha!" Kagome paused before continuing, " Well, basically we have prom, graduation, and also, we have to think about what university we're going to choose." she finished.

"I guess your right there." Miroku cut in as he too entered the group.

"Keh! I already know where I'm going to college. As for prom and graduation, no thinking is needed. Just be happy it's finally coming." Inuyasha informed.

"And pray tell, which university have you chosen?" inquired Miroku.

"University Tokyo. I was excepted two days ago. Probably because Sesshomaru owns it I bet. Either way, they have better business classes there." Inuyasha explained.

"I was thinking about going to Keio University. I'd rather not leave the comforts of Japan. What about you my sweet Sango?" Miroku asked.

"Same. Although, Tokyo U. is much closer to home." she said.

"Well, what about you Kagome-sama?" asked Miroku respectfully before being smacked by Sango after feeling the'crused hand' grab her bottom.

Kagome giggled before saying,"I have recieved an offer from both Tokyo U. and Kyoto U. I haven't decided which one is best. I have until June the twenty eighth to decide."

"Aw, why can't you just choose to go to Tokyo U. with me? Kyoto is a bit far from here. Four years is a long time to be seperated." Inuyasha whined.

"I never said I've decided. Besides, no matter which one I choose, we have holidays and a month break in summer we can see each other. Also, it's not like I won't call, write, and email you everyday. Don't worry about it now. I've got time to choose." Kagome assured.

Inuyasha remained silent.

The rest of the school day skimmed by. Classes were the same as always. School finally let out for the day, allowing all teens to return home or hang out at their favorite spots. The streets of Tokyo were littered with teen, children, and adults. Only those who had cars were able to get to where they were going much more quickly. As night fell, an eerie silence replaced the once noisy streets again.

---

A younge woman of at least age seventeen, sat on a bench of a bus stop in the dark. Unknown, a figure clad in dark clothing, crept up to the teen girl that looked to be waiting for the bus.

"Your late." the girl said dangerously.

"Forgive me. I had to go home to collect the plans." the figure spoke.

"I'll remind you Houjo, I don't tolerate anyone being late. Only I am aloud to be late. Got that?" the girl fumed.

"Yes, Kikyo. I won't ever be late again." Houjo swore.

"Good, now on to business. What are your plans?" Kikyo asked impatiently.

"I figure that the best way to assure the break up between Inuyasha and Kagome is to move slow at first. We must get them against one another. In other words, we need to get them jealous. First you got to..." Houjo continued on.

The plans of ultimate destruction of a beautiful relationship were set. The two evil minds were more than ready to put their plans in motion. They've waited three years for the couple to get lovingly close and now knew the time has arrived. Disaster was surely to come.

-------------------------

It was now the begining of October. Nothing bad had happened quite yet. Although, this was the month of mischief and with that in mind, there was definitely going to be some mishap.

---

"Inuyasha, what do you want to dress up as for the halloween dance?" Kagome asked.

"I guess I can go as a white werewolf. What about you?" Inuyasha asked in return.

"Hmm...I think I'm gonna go as a princess or a vampire seductress." she told him.

Inuyasha thought for a moment and said, "I vote for the second."

Kagome giggled while saying, "Of coarse. I knew you'd choose that."

Inuyasha gave her a tender kiss before taking both of the chosen costumes to the cashier. He paused only a moment to grab a pair of realistic slip on ivory fangs to complete Kagome's costume. Kagome had met up with him at the checkout with blood red nail polish and lipstick. Once paid, the couple left off to the Higurashi shrine.

"Mama, we're back!" Kagome shouted in the house.

"Hello dear! Did you have any luck finding a costume?" her mother asked.

"Hai, we both have." Kagome smiled before heading to the stairs.

"Kagome, you may want to have Inuyasha stay tonight. It's already past ten." Mrs. Higurashi told her.

"Okay. Come on Inuyasha. Don't let Souta here you or he'll wake just to wrestle you again." Kagome said plainly.

"Keh!" was all he said before following her to her room.

Mrs. Higurashi shook her head in exasperation while saing to herself, " Those two are something. They are truly meant for one another."

----

"Party time!" cheered Miroku dressed as a gorilla.

"I'm surprised you didn't dress as a monk, seeing that you say monks run in the family." Inuyasha put in. A white fluffy tail hung from his behind which was clad in loose black jeans. A white muscle shirt and no shoes completed his wolfish look.

"I wonder whats taking the girls. We're gonna be late!" Miroku cried out.

"Just chill. You should know by now that girls are always fashionably late." Inuyasha muttered.

Just then the two males heard a squeal of what seemed like delight.

"Kagome must have found the artificial fangs I bought her." Inuyasha smirked.

"Seems like someone wants to get a little naughty." Miroku pointed out.

Inuyasha pushed him of the couch in Kagome's home saying, "You damn pervert! Can never get your mind out of the gutter. I don't understand how you can be a part of a family that came from monks."

"Why, what ever do you mean? I assure my intentions are good." Miroku sweat dropped.

"Yeah, what ever!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Although, his eyes stopped when they hit the stairs. "Hey Miroku, Sango just walked down the steps."

Miroku looked and saw Sango dressed as cat woman. Her costume consisted of shredded black leather pants and a torn looking leather belly halter top instead of the regular bra. A half face cat woman mask adorned her face. She also wore high heeled black boots and silver clawed skin tight gloves.

"Miroku, if you stare at me any longer your eyes are going to fall out." Sango scolded. At that said, Miroku looked away with a blush. "Come on Kagome! You look fine, so stop standing up there and come down so we can leave."

Kagome walked down the stairs slowly. She felt practically naked. Though, Inuyasha gave her a lustful look ast she finally got to the bottom step. The costume was of a very tight ankle length tube topped dress. A thigh high slit adorned both sides of the dress. A ruby studded neclace wrapped around her neck with a set of earings and a bracelet to match. Kagome's long grown nails and toe nails were painted in the new glittering deep red nail polish. A pair of thin strapped open toed heels accented the dress well. Deep red lipstick made her lips look fuller as only natural colored eye shadow blushed her eyes.

"Ka-Ka-Kagome?" Inuyasha stood puzzled.

A smirk came to Kagome's lips where a single fang poked out.

"What's wrong Inuyasha? You look as though you've seen a ghost." Kagome said in a sexy tone.

'rrrrrrrr' Inuyasha growled in full lust.

"Okay now! Can we please be going?" Miroku said uncomfortly.

The room was filled with uneasiness as the group started to take their leave. The four got into Inuyasha's eclipse and headed for the halloween dance at school. Once ther and inside, the girls were bombarded by their friends leaving the guys to head to a small group of their friends for a little while. A few moments later, a girl wearing a mask and an extremely short red strappless dress, walked up behind Inuyasha and hugged him.

"What the?" Inuyasha tried to sniff out the scent of the female, but to many others blocked it out. "Who are you? And will you get off of me, Now!"

"I'm sad you don't remember your first love. I thought we had something special. Don't you love me at all anymore." the girl sulked.

Realization hit Inuyasha as he said plainfully, "Kikyo, get the hell away from me. You know we've been over for almost four years now. I'm with someone else now."

"You've replaced me with a girl who looks kind of like me. That just proves you still love me. You can't go on with out me." Kikyo said in a fake whine.

"Kagome looks nothing like you. She is more beautiful, kind, and understanding. Your just a cold hearted bitch who only cares about herself." Inuyasha said as he finally pulled away from Kikyo's grasp.

Kikyo fumed a moment before putting on a fake loving smile and began to say, "Oh, Inuyasha. I've changed. Since that day you broke up with me I began to think. I decided that you were right. I did do what ever I wanted. I assure you though, I have indeed changed. I've even been going to miko training classes to calm my mind and body. Could you ever consider giving me another chance. I love you!"

Inuyasha couldn't speak. He didn't know what to say, so he just walked away.

---

Kagome walked away from her friends to find Inuyasha. She searched through the many groups of teens with no sign. Then she came across him with a girl glued to his back in an embrace. It seemed as though Inuyasha didn't make a move to get out of her grasp. Tears came to Kagome's eyes as she ran from the sight to the bathroom. She did not leave unseen though. A teen boy dressed as the evil phantom from Blood Plus, followed Kagome. He watched as she walked into the bathroom. Looking around to make sure nobody saw, he peered into to ladies restroom. Seeing that no one was inside, he stepped in and locked the door behind.

The boy leaned down to look under all the stalls untill he found what he was looking for. He came upon a set of silky legs and stood once again only to walk over to the stall. He gave a little nudge on the stall door but found it locked. So, he pulled a blue rose from his cape an put it under the stall. Kagome didn't see it at first because of the tears blurring her vision. As she wiped them away, she looked to her feet and caught the blue color.

"What the? I've never seen a blue rose before. How did it get here?" Kagome stood and unlocked the stall door to leave. As soon as she opened it, she was forced back inside by the teen phantom.

"I advise you not to scream. It will do you no good." at that said, the teen forced his gloved hand between her legs. Kagome started to cry harder and tried to push him away. Before the boy could get any further, a hard pound was on the door . The teen phantom ran and jumped out the open window. Kagome ran to the main door of the ladies room and found it locked. She quickly opened it and saw Sango on the other side.

"Kagome? What's wrong?" Sango asked worriedly seeing tears in her friends eyes and one of the slits on her dress ripped from where it stopped midthigh to her hip.

"I...I was attacked." Kagome whispered.

"By who? How?" Sango questioned panicking.

"I don't know who he was. He was dressed as a demon phantom. He seemed to be wearing a black wig. He also gave me this blue rose. As for how, I'm not sure why he came in here, but when I opened the stall door he attacked. He covered my mouth and forced me back into the stall. I tried to push him away, but he forced his hands in..in between my...l-legs. I think he was trying to rape me!" Kagome sobbed harder.

"Oh Kami, Kagome are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner." Sango comforted her best friend while hugging her. "Lets go find Inuyasha. He's probably worried where you went."

"Dought it. He had a girl wrapped around him not too long ago and didn't even bother to remove her from himself. He's the reason why I ran to the bathroom in the first place." Kagome explained.

"So, what do you want to do? We can go together to confront him or we can walk to the bus stop to go home. I'll stay the night if you want." Sango told her.

"I think I'll take the second option. Damn good thing it's a weekend. I'll wait till sunday to confront him." Kagome said as new tears threatened to spill.

Kagome and Sango walked out of the gymnasium and school building. They left without out informing even Miroku for the fact that he would tell Inuyasha. They did tell a few girls so that if at one point the guys came searching, they would be told they left and were'nt abducted. When the two girls arrived at the shrine, Kagome told Sango that it would be okay for her to return to the party or go home. She just wanted time alone. Sango understood and left for home.

---

Mean while, Inuyasha discovered that Kagome and Sango were both missing. He asked Miroku, but he didn't even know they were missing since he was dancing with a slutty looking girl. Inuyasha snatched Miroku up and search through the groups and didn't find them. They did come upon the trio of girls that Kagome knew before him and found that the girls took the bus to Higurashi shrine.

'What the hell is going on? Those girls looked skeptic to tell them where Kagome and Sango went.' Inuyasha thought.

He pulled up next to Miroku's car that was still sitting at the shrine. The lights were still out in the house. Inuyasha sent Miroku to Sango's house in hopes they decided to go there instead. Inuyasha though, waited to see if Kagome was just slowing her pace coming home. It was still somewhat early so the family were probably out trick-or-treating still. The wind shifted and a scent of green tea and ocean breeze drifted to his nose. The green tea scent he knew to be Sango and the other was his Kagome's. It seemed they were pausing at the bottom of the shrine steps. Then he caught only one scent coming up the stairs. Kagome was coming alone. She had another male's scent mixing with hers.

'gasp'

Kagome reached the top of the stairs only to bump into a solid body. She tensed up thinking that she had been followed by her attacker. She dared a glance upward and saw the face of her three and a half year long boyfriend. A whole new sadness hit her as she thought about what had happened. Tears hit her eyes once again. Inuyasha looked angry though.

"Why the hell is there a scent of another guy on you? Is this why you left the party? To be with another guy!" Inuyasha yelled.

Kagome was confused. "What are you talking about? I wasn't with another guy."

"Your lieing! I can smell him all over you!" Inuyasha screamed out.

Anger hit Kagome as she yelled, "For your information, I was attacked in the girls bathroom at school. I thought you knew me better then that. You though, I saw that girl that was attached to you! You didn't even remove her and you come acting like I betrayed you. Your dead wrong. If you even bothered to see my torn dress then you would've know what happened to me."

Inuyasha tried to sence a lie from her but, he found only an aura of truth.

"I...I'm sorry. I didn't know." he appologized.

"Of coarse you didn't cause you were the one with another girl!" Kagome cried as she ran passed him. He caught up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, putting his face in her hair. She was fighting to be released.

"Kagome, please stop fighting me. It's not what you think." Inuyasha tried to speak.

"What is it then? Make me understand." she commanded and turned to look into his eyes.

"I thought it was you that was holding me at first. It wasn't and I pulled away from her. She thought she was gonna win me back. I told her staght up that you're my girlfriend. I promise you that your the only one for me." he said truthfully. She teared up and threw herself in his arms.

"I guess we both got worked up over nothing. I lo-...I'm sorry too!" she said. Inuyasha held her tight. 'I love you Inuyasha. I can't tell you until I hear it from you first.' Kagome thought.

'If only you knew how much I love you. I don't know why I can't say it.' he thought and then spoke aloud, "I'll find out who attacked you. No one messes with my girl."

Kagome smilled into his chest and pulled away to walk with him into the house and to her room to get ready for bed. It was a good thing he kept some clothes at her home. He basically considered the shrine as his second home. Their unknown love for each other stood a test and passed. Yet, more trouble will befall them in due time. The loving couple one, Kikyo an Houjo, zero.
