As Long As You Love Me

When Kagome met InuYasha, she knew her life would never be the same. How can she get the school's biggest playboy to fall for her? Rated M for later chapters.

Chapter 2—Invisible

When Kagome was certain that InuYasha was officially gone for the night, she walked into her house and stomped up to her room. After she slammed her door shut, she threw her purse onto her bed and walked over to her computer. As soon as she took her away message down, she received a message from Sango.

andSangoSays: omg kags, are you there?
kaggypoo: …
andSangoSays: please kags, you HAVE to listen to me…
kaggypoo: ……
kaggypoo: I'm waiting
andSangoSays: okay, look… I am SO sorry. I completely forgot that I had to take you home… and then miroku wanted to leave… and we… well… left…
kaggypoo: SANGO. how the HELL do you forget to tell your best friend that she's gonna be stranded at some fucking party because you wanna fucking screw around with miroku???
kaggypoo: gawd, you know… he probly has at least 10 different fucking diseases.
kaggypoo: seriously sango, I mean… hojo tried to fucking rape me... and if it weren't for… oh just never-fucking-mind.
andSangoSays: WHAT?!
kaggypoo: no… just forget I said anything. seriously… it wasn't a big deal.
andSangoSays: uhmm, kags… that clearly is a BIG DEAL. I am soooo sorry!! I wish I could have been there to help…
kaggypoo: yeah, but you weren't there, were you?
andSangoSays: you're right… I wasn't there… so who ended up saving the day?
kaggypoo: well… funny story… it was actually inuyasha…
andSangoSays: inuyasha… as in takahashi? I thought you didn't even know him ;]
kaggypoo: I don't! or I didn't at least… he pretended to be my boyfriend...
kaggypoo: it was really nice of him… but I knew that him being nice wasn't gonna last…
andSangoSays: what are you talking about?
kaggypoo: well, he took me home… and he was soooo nice… until we got to my house…
kaggypoo: then he pretty much freaking pushed me out of the car
andSangoSays: what? why?
kaggypoo: I have no clue… but that's not the weirdest part either…
andSangoSays: oh gawd, what happened then??
kaggypoo: well, when I finally got out of his car, he like… ran after me and… well…
andSangoSays: …kags? you there?
andSangoSays: come on… I'm dying here.
kaggypoo: he kind of… kissed me…
kaggypoo: it's not a big deal.
kaggypoo: sango? hellooooo?
andSangoSays: OH
andSangoSays: MY
andSangoSays: GOD
andSangoSays: !!!
kaggypoo: calm down girl… like I said… it wasn't a big deal.
andSangoSays: how can you say this isn't a big deal?? THEE inuyasha takahashi kissed you!!!
kaggypoo: yeah, and then he was a complete jerk afterwards.
kaggypoo: he was all like "all you girls are the same. you all can't resist me" or some shit. it really pissed me off.
andSangoSays: what a dill weed.
andSangoSays: so…?
kaggypoo: so what?
andSangoSays: oh come on kags, don't make me ask!
kaggypoo: ask WHAT?
andSangoSays: how was the kiss?
kaggypoo: oh… it was…
kaggypoo: nice…
andSangoSays: what kind of nice? like "I don't wanna hurt his feelings so I'll say it was good" nice or "omg mind blowingly hot I wanna sex him up" nice?
kaggypoo: SANGO!
andSangoSays: what?? I wanna know!!
kaggypoo: it was like… "I definitely made a mistake by letting him kiss me because now I think I kinda sorta like him" nice…
kaggypoo: happy now?
andSangoSays: extremely :]
andSangoSays: we're so gonna get you two together.
andSangoSays: okay… so I'M gonna get you two together.

andSangoSays: he KISSED you, kags. of COURSE he's interested!
kaggypoo: you said it yourself sango, he's interested in anything with a vagina.
kaggypoo: I'm NOT going to be another notch in his bedpost.
andSangoSays: wow… cliché much, kags?
kaggypoo: ugh… look, just leave it alone sango. he doesn't want me.

kaggypoo: but seriously sango… don't bother trying to get me and inuyasha together… it'll never happen.
kaggypoo: I mean… tomorrow morning, he'll probly be making out with some different girl at his car like he always is!
andSangoSays: I bet you're wrong.
kaggypoo: and I bet I'm right…
andSangoSays: 15 bucks?
kaggypoo: sounds good to me.
andSangoSays: seeya tomorrow… be prepared to pay up!
_____________________________________________________________

'Well… I hope Sango brought that money…' Kagome thought as she stared at InuYasha and his flavor of the day. InuYasha was leaning against his car with Kagura Soto leaning against him.

Sango ran up to Kagome. "Hey, sorry I'm late."

"You owe me 15 dollars." Kagome said, smiling even though inside she felt like crying.

Sango looked confused. "What are you talk—Ohhh…" She looked at InuYasha and Kagura. "Kagome, honey, I'm so sorry."

"It's not a big deal Sango… I told you this would happen. I was just kinda hoping I would be the one losing 15 bucks." Her eyes started watering.

"Kags, don't cry… please. Come on… let's go to class before we're late."

"Oh my God… I have history first. What am I gonna do? What if he tries to talk to me? Or worse… what if he doesn't?" Kagome started hyperventilating.

Sango smacked her across the face. "Snap out of, Kagome! You were fine before InuYasha came into your life… and you sure as hell don't need his player ass now!"

Kagome rubbed her cheek where Sango had slapped her. "Ouch! …Thanks for that… I guess. Ugh, you're right. I gotta go to class. InuYasha or no InuYasha, I'm gonna make it through this day."

"That's the Kagome I know and love! Text me after school… maybe we can hang out or… oh shit, never mind."

"What?"

Sango bit her lip nervously. "I have a… date… with Miroku."

Kagome eyebrows shot up. "Woah… are you and him like… a thing now?"

"Shh! Don't jinx it! I really like him Kags. But yeah, that means that plans for tonight are screwed. Sorry…"

Kagome shook her head. "It's fine, Sango… I'll probly just do some homework and stuff. I'll catch up with you later, okay? Have fun tonight!"

"You're the best Kagome. I love you!" She gave her a quick hug and ran off.

'Oh great… time for history…'

When she entered the room, the first thing she saw was InuYasha sitting on her desk. As she walked down the aisle to her seat, she felt her heart rate increase considerably. InuYasha looked up at her and smiled.

"Hey."

"Uhmm, hi? What are you doing?"

InuYasha dug around in his backpack. "You forgot something in my car last night… I just wanted to return it." He pulled out a tube of her favorite lip gloss.

She grabbed it and immediately applied a layer onto her dry lips. "Oh my God, thank you! I've been wondering where this went!"

He smiled. "Yeah, I figured I'd give it back to you just incase I decide to make out with you again. That gloss adds a certain… yum quality…"

Kagome felt her face heat up. "Can you keep your voice down? I'd rather not have the whole school know what happened last night!"

InuYasha rolled his eyes. "My God, any other girl would be bragging to everyone that they knew if they made out with me. But you're trying to hide it? What-the fuck-ever."

"Well, I'm not 'any other girl.' I'm certainly not the kind of girl who would make out with you at your car for the whole world to see." She put her hands on her hips.

He stood up and looked into her eyes. "Don't talk about shit that you don't know anything about."

"All I do know, InuYasha, is that you are a playboy. I'm so glad I caught onto your game last night before I let you give me some fucking disease. God, who knows what kind of crabs have crawled into your pants." She immediately shut her mouth, knowing that she had gone too far. "Oh my God, InuYasha… I am so sorry… I didn't mean--"

InuYasha but her off. "You're a bitch. You don't know shit about me or my life. You--"

"Mr. Takahashi, would you like to take a seat so we can get along with the lecture?" their professor, Mr. Yanaka asked.

InuYasha shook his head angrily. "I think I'll pass… I don't feel well. Peace!" And with that, he was gone.

Kagome stared after him with an open mouth. 'Way to win him over with your irresistible charm, Kagome.'
_____________________________________________________________

When Kagome entered the parking lot at the end of the day, the first thing she saw was InuYasha standing with his arm around Kagura. He met her gaze and smiled evilly.

She watched helplessly as he pulled her in for a quick make out session. His eyes never left Kagome's.

As she felt her eyes water, she raced to her car and sped home, crying the whole way.

When she got home, she ran up to her room and locked herself in. 'Wow, I'm lucky mom's not home right now. I'd never get out of a mother-daughter talk if she saw me like this.'

Kagome pulled out her guitar and began playing a song to express her current feelings.

And I just wanna show you she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

She set her guitar down as tears started pouring down her face.

"What is wrong with me?" she sobbed. "Why am I crying over a guy I barely know? And from what I do know, he's a complete jerk."

And as irrational as it might sound, Kagome knew in that instant that she needed InuYasha. She needed to make him forgive her. And maybe, eventually, like her.

It was a stretch, but maybe, just maybe, with some help… she could achieve this far-fetched goal.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Hey Sango, it's Kagome. Call me back as soon as you get this. I have an idea and I need your help.
