Disclaimer: Hey everyone! I'm sorry for not updating last week. I had a few problems but I'm all better now. I've decided to jump into the stroryalittle differently. With the answer to a request of a reviewer. This is for you Amy-Katherine914!

(Inuyasha and I are sitting down at a table in Study Hall.)

Me: Don't worry, Inuyasha. You'll win Kagome over.

Inuyasha: Oh, yeah? And how's that gonna happen? Is someone going to magically appear and rip Koga's head off.

Me: Actually, yes.

Inuyasha: Huh?

(Koga walks in and leans against a wall. He begins to scam on Kagome, who was sitting a table away from Inuyasha and I, as she studies. Suddenly, Amy-Katherine appears and rips his head off.)

Amy-Katherine: Jerk!

Me: *Falls off of chair laughing*

Amy-Katherine: There you go, Inu. Now you won't have a murder on your hands and you and Kagome can be together!

Inuyasha: Oh... Sweet!

Me: *Recovers from laughing and gets up* Excellent work, Amy-Katherine! *Turns to readers* Now, on with the story!

The rest of the lunch period, besides the dilemma between Miroku and Sango, passed by smoothly. The bell soon rang and we had to get back to class. I walked Kagome to her class, as I always did. Strangely, today was differently. Hell, a lot of things were different today. But, what I mean by different is that she asked me a strange question.

"Why is it that you don't have a girl friend?" Aw, crap. What was I supposed to answer to that?

"I don't know. I guess I'm not interested in anyone." Lying my ass off is good.

"Really? There is not one girl that you're interested in?" Damn... You have to understand something here. It's not easy for me to lie to the person I'm in love with. I'm sure it's hard for most of the people who have fallen in love and who have to lie to the one they love. Hm... Perhaps I could give her a little hint that I like someone. Well, love someone. Love her.

"Well... There is this one girl." I admitted and she gasped, making me smile.

"Inuyasha likes a girl? The "Inuyasha" likes a girl?" She said, acting playfully surprised.

"You're acting as if I'm gay. Yes, I like a girl." I chuckled. She laughed and sighed.

"So, why don't you ask her out?"

"Because, she doesn't like me like I like her."

"How do you know?"

"I think she only sees me as a friend. She doesn't show much interest in me."

"She must be dumb." I chuckled. She's calling herself dumb.

"Actually, she's really smart. And, she's funny, too. And cute. And... She has a really nice body..." Kagome slapped me on the arm.

"Ow!"

"You pervert! Don't turn into Miroku! One is enough!" She yelled at me and glared.

"I'm not a pervert, Kagome. I'm just saying. I know there's a lot more to girls then their bodies." After that fact, her glared disappeared and she smiled warmly at me. Ah, there's that smile I fell in love with. "You know... She has a great smile too." I whispered slightly and her smile grew even more. It was sort of like she knew I was talking about her. I looked away for a slight second and sighed. We were here. "You'd better get to class."

She looked up and nodded before heading in.

"I'll see you after school?" She asked. I smiled.

"Sure." She gave me a quick smile before going in. I sighed and went to my own class.

-----After School-----

I walked out of the school and dug in my pocket for my car keys. It was the middle of November and, surprisingly, it was cool outside. All you needed was a sweater. Looks like global warming is finally getting to us.

I took the keys out of my pocket and searched for where I had parked my car. I had a Cadillac XLR. I got a job when I was in 8th grade and saved up enough money to buy it. But, my mom wanted to pay at least three-fourths of the amount it cost. Even though I told her I could pay for it, she insisted on paying some of it as well. I think I know where I got my stubbornness from.

Ever since my father passed away, my mom has been taking care of me and my brother, Sesshomaru, who is now in college. And, she's done a great job at it, too. Of course, I have re-payed her for all she has done for me. My mom loves Kagome, which is something I'm glad for. They get along so well. I think my mom figured out that I've fallen in love with her. And, I think she's happy it was Kagome.

Suddenly, a pink sweater hit me in the back of the head. I blinked and took it off before hearing a familiar giggle and smiling. I could smell the scent radiating off of the sweater. Kami, why did she have to smell so good? I turned around to find a giggling Kagome running over to me.

"Did you lose something?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, yes, thank you! I can't imagine how it got on your head."

"Maybe, it's raining sweaters?"

"Oh, yeah, that's it." She laughed as I laughed along with her. With that, we began our walk to my car. I unlocked it from afar and looked over to her and raised my eyebrow. She suddenly seemed as if she were far away, as if she weren't even there. Then, she smiled and looked over to me.

"I can't figure out who you're "mystery girl" is." She admitted.

"It's really not that hard to figure out." I told her. We stopped at the car and I opened the passenger door for her.

"Thank you." She said with a smile and got in. I closed the door and went around to get into the driver's seat. I sat down and started the car. She turned to me quickly.

"Can you at least give me another hint?" She pleaded.

"I already told you. She's smart, funny, cu--"

"But that could be anybody!"

"Not really." I chuckled. She slapped my arm and giggled.

"You're so mean."

"I'm only telling the truth." I said. She rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." And with that, I began the drive to her house. During the drive, she clicked on the radio and listened to some music. She would sing along as well. It was amazing how she could sound as great as the person singing. Maybe even better. But, she wouldn't sing loudly. Only murmur the lyrics, really.

Maybe we're friends.
Maybe we're more.
Maybe it's just my imagination.

But I see you stare just a little too long and it makes me start to wonder.

So, baby, call me crazy, but I think you feel it, too. Maybe I, maybe I, just gotta get next to you.

Then she would hum the rest of the song until it got to that part again.

Soon, though, I arrived at her house. I parked in front of her house and turned the car off.

"I'll walk you to the porch." I told her. She smiled and nodded in agreement. It was strange. Whenever I drove her home, she would usually just say good-night and get out of the car. I would never walk her to the porch. But, then again, I just found out another guy was attracted to her, the woman I love. I'll do anything to be close to her, even when we're saying good-bye.

I got out of the car and went around to open the door for her. She got out, I closed the door, and we walked towards her porch. It was awkward, sort of like a first date. I drive her home, walk her to the porch, and we kiss good-night. Except, I knew there wasn't going to be a kiss at the end.

We walked up the porch and she opened the door. She turned around to me and smiled.

"Well, good-night, Inuyasha."

"Good-night, Kagome." I said with a smile. She smiled at me one last time before closing the door. I sighed and went back into the car. I got in, turned it back on, and drove home.

Surprisingly, I still had a smile on my face. Even though today was like hell, in the end, I was still smiling. Ah, I know why.

The moments Kagomeand I had. It's moments like the ones we have that make life worth living for.

I clicked on the radio to listen to some music.

Remember when we never needed each other.
The best of friends like a sister and brother.
We understood we'd never be... Alone.
Those days are gone and now I want you so much.
The night is long and I need your touch.
I cannot pretend that we can still be friends.
Don't wanna be... Alone tonight.

What can I do to make you mine?
Fallen so hard, so fast this time.
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I changed the station immediately, turned the volume down and sighed. Here we go again. Here come the songs that remind me so much of my relationship with Kagome. Sighing, I tried my luck again and turned the volume up.

I shouldn't love you, but I want to.
I just can't turn away.

I shouldn't see you, but I can't move.
I can't look away...

I shouldn't love you but I want to.
I just can't turn away.

I shouldn't see you, but I can't move.
I can't look away.

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not.
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop.

Just so you know this feeling's taking control of me and I can't help it.
I won't sit around, I can't let 'em win now.

Thought you should know I've tried my best to let go of you, but I don't want to.
I just gotta say it all before I go.
Just so you know...

I clicked a different station and turned the volume down. That's strike two. I've got one more shot. Should I go for it? Eh, why not. I turned the volume back up to listen to what I chose.

Maybe it's intuition...
But some things you just don't question.

Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant and there it goes.
I think I've found my best friend.

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe...

I knew I love you before I met you.
I think I dreamed you into life.

I knew I loved you before I met you.
I have been waiting all my life.

I turned the music off again. Well, that proves it. Every radio station I turn on will have a sappy love song that will instantly remind me of Kagome. I guess these are the consequences of falling in love. Well, you know what? I don't care. Bring on the sappiness! As long as she's in my life, I don't care about any of my consequences... Wow, now that was corny...

A/N: Well, that's another chapter. Sorry it took so long. I had this whole thing planned out and I was going to update it on Monday. But, I suppose there was some kind of malfunction with my computer and the chapter got erased. Ah, technology. Can't live with it, can't live without it. Read and Review! Until Next Time! Oh, yeah. Here are the songs in order, if you wanted to know them:
