Chapter 1

Author's Note: This is my very first fanfic, I wasn't going to post it but with the encouragement from a friend I decided otherwise. The story

is finished so you won't have to wait for an update. Be gentle, I hope you enjoy. >

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters associated with Inuyasha, but I do own this story.

It was early winter in Tokyo, Japan, the Christmas rush over and the New Year's Eve celebrations beginning. New Year's Eve...a day you spend with your closest friends, family, and that special someone.

"Good morning Tokyo, it's snowing outside so if your going out you might want to wear that extra sweater, we have a few delays in..." That was all you heard before the clock radio went smashing into the wall. That was the third one this month.

"Kagome dear time to wake up we have a lot to do today," said Ms Higurashi from the kitchen downstairs.

"Coming mom, I'll be right down," said a sleepy 19 year old getting up from her bed and preparing for her morning ritual.

After Kagome finished showering, brushing her teeth, and putting on her clothes she headed downstairs for some breakfast.

Her jii-chan and otouta were already in the kitchen eating their breakfast. "Ohayou, Kagome did you sleep well," said her jii-chan.

"Ohayou grandpa, I slept fine," said Kagome as her okaasan gave her a plate and they all ate in comfortable silence until the phone started ringing.

"That's probably Inuyasha, he said he'll call this morning," she said as she went to answer the phone.

"Hello"

"Kagome"

"Ohayou Inuyasha," said Kagome.

"Hey Kagome, listen I am not going to be able to make it to the party tonight," said Inuyasha with a rushed voice.

"Why not Inuyasha, you know how important this is, and what about my mom, she's looking forward to seeing you," said Kagome angrily.

"Nothings wrong Kagome, look I got to go, I'll tell you about it later ok"

"Ok Inuyasha, b..." (click) "I wonder what's that about," thought Kagome as she headed back into the kitchen.

Her jii-chan and otouta were gone and her okaasan was at the sink doing the dishes. She went in and leaned against a chair. With a loud sigh, she flopped down on the chair. That's when her mother noticed she wasn't the only one in the kitchen. "What's wrong dear, was that Inuyasha on the phone," asked Ms. Higurashi turning to look at her daughter.

"Ya mom, he said he wont be able to make it to the party tonight. I am sorry, I know how much you've been looking forward to seeing him," said Kagome sounding disappointed.

"I am sure he has a good excuse for not coming dear," said Ms Higurashi, always the optimist.

Kagome and Inuaysha have been going out for a little over 3 years. They met in Kagome's sophomore year of high school and Inuyasha's junior year. At first, she didn't like his rude comments and his rash behavior but under that bad boy attitude, she found he had a sweeter gentler part to his personality. And agreed to go out with him. Lately though; Inuyasha's been spending less time with her. She'll talk to Miroku later about it, they are best friends.

"Are you ready Kagome," asked Ms. Higurashi

"Sure mom,"

Ms. Higurashi had some last minute shopping she had to do for the big party tonight, and Kagome decided to go with her.

After Ms. Higurashi and Kagome came back from the grocery store, Kagome went outside to go sit under her favorite tree to think. The God tree. It was called the God tree because legend has it a man climbed the tree and reached God. It's really a stupid legend she thought. Her otouta came and sat next to her, noticing the depressed look on her face he asked her "Oneesan what's wrong," She looked up to see her little brother staring at her with his large blue irises similar to hers,

"Nothings wrong, just thinking," she said to him, giving him a smile. He ran off when he saw their fat cat Boyou waddling past. Kagome thought back to the time when she was that age. The tender age of 13, everything was so simple.

She decided to go back in the house and call her best friend Sango. She always called Sango when she was in these situations.

"Come on Sango pick-up..." "hello"

"Sango, this is Kagome"

"Hey whatsup Kagome"

"I was wondering if you could meet me at the manga café in a half-hour"

"Sure Kagome, but this can't wait till tonight."

"No, it's pretty important"

"Ok"

"See you there Sango bye."

When Sango made it to the café, she ordered a café latte and sat down in the chair next to Kagome, placing her café latte next to Kagome's coffee extra sweet.

"What's so important Kagome," asked Sango taking a sip of her drink.

"Well, lately Inuyasha's been acting different. This morning he called to tell me he wouldn't be able to make it to my mom's party. Have you noticed anything," asked Kagome.

"Ya I kinda have, I didn't want to say anything. Miroku and I noticed it a few weeks ago," said Sango looking out the window.

"I don't know what to do Sango, you know how Inuyasha is. The minute I say something to him he'll start jumping to conclusions," said Kagome with a frustrated groan.

"Why don't you go see him and ask him why he can't make it to your mom's New Year's Eve party? I mean she's been planning it for months Kagome," said Sango.

"Maybe I should call him first..." "NO! You march straight over to that bastard's house and demand some answers," said Sango with determination.

Sango was always the tough one back in school. Her and Kagome have been friends since middle school. Sango always looked out for Kagome, being the stronger of the two. She could always count on her to have her back.

Kagome walked up to Inuyasha's house with a determined look on her face. It started to waver as she got closer to the door, she even started to turn around till Sango's encouraging words started running through her head...'You march straight over to that bastards house and demand some answers.' Kagome was so caught up in her reminiscing she didn't even notice that someone had opened the door and a tall figure stood their watching her with a questioning eyebrow raised.

"Can I help you," came a smooth silky voice.

Kagome finally realized the door was opened and looked up to see the most gorgeous man she had ever seen. He was tall, at least 6'5, he has long silky white hair that reaches down to his waist, any girl would kill to have hair that silky, the most piercing golden eyes she has ever seen, and the smoothest flawless skin ever. She started to go down and stopped at his chest. With the shirt he was wearing you could see his chiseled abs. She figured he's related to Inuyasha considering they had similar features. Inuyasha was more rugged with his looks though.

When he noticed she was checking him out he said in the most arrogant voice, "Do you like what you see," which made Kagome blush a tint red and mutter "jerk" under her breath. Which he heard, he smirked and asked her the question again.

She finally asked, "Is Inuyasha home," he asked who she was. "Higurashi, Kagome, Inuyasha's girlfriend."

Realization dawned on his pretty face, "He's home but I am afraid..." "Good I need to see him," she pushed her way in and ran up the stairs, still embarrassed by his comment.

He stood their shaking his head disapprovingly looking at the stairs she had just run up. He closed the door and walked back in the living room to finish reading the newspaper.

As Kagome approached, Inuyasha's door she heard muffled noises coming from inside. "Inuyasha," she called opening the door.

"Oh Shit! Kagome it's not what it looks like," Inuyasha said jumping out of the bed.

There in the room Kagome saw Inuyasha with another girl, not just any girl but Kikyo her cousin and the biggest slut she has ever known. She's been trying to get back with Inuyasha since they graduated high school. She use to date Inuyasha before he started crushing on Kagome. Inuyasha broke up with Kikyo for her. That's why Kikyo doesn't like her little cousin.

"Inuyasha how could you...I thought...with her," Kagome said, holding back tears. "Kagome, I am sorry, hear me out please," said Inuyasha reaching for her.

"NO, DON'T EVER TOUCH OR TALK TO ME AGAIN," screamed Kagome running out of the room.

"Don't worry about her Yasha-baby she was know fun any way that's why you came back to me," said Kikyo grabbing Inuyasha who was trying to go after Kagome. "Let me go you stupid bitch, I was only with you because you were their," said Inuyasha running out the room after Kagome.

When he made it down the stairs and to the door, it was too late. Kagome was already gone. "DAMN," he said aloud. He heard his brother behind him say, "You are truly and idiot little brother." "How could you do that to me Sesshoumaru, you bastard? Why did you let her come up knowing damn well I was with Kikyo? Because of you she'll probably never talk to me again." In an instant Sesshoumaru had Inuyasha pinned to the door,

"Don't blame me for your insolence. You're the reason that girl ran out of the house crying, not me." Dropping Inuyasha to the floor, he walked away.

Inuyasha layed their by the door thinking 'How could I have been so stupid, with Kikyo. I am so sorry Kagome.
