Author's Notes: Okay, this is an AU. The first fic of mine I'm really into so please take time to read it and please review. The characters maybe OOC at first, but as the story lengthens and the plot thickens, I hope my writing would progress too and so will the characters. ^_^

PROLOGUE: BEING FRIENDS WITH INU YASHA.

"Come on, Kagome. Come with mama and let us welcome our new neighbors." I remember my mama said to me when I was five years old. Back then, I was little miss perky. Just like my little cousin, Rin. You'll know her later on. But I'm not promising anything great, mind you.

I nodded my head like the good daughter I am, smiling broadly as we made our way to the big house belonging to the Chimiesno Family. My blue eyes went wide as I saw the big house. Well, I'm just an ordinary kid. Sue me for being what I am and for sure I'll win the case.

I don't even know why my mom always insists that they're our neighbors. Their house is a block away from us-an entire block. But anyways, I smiled and held my mama's hand with my two little ones.

Mama pressed the door bell and waited patiently for someone to open the door. Immediately, a beautiful woman appeared on the door. She had violet-blue eyes and long black hair. In short, she was very, very beautiful. I thought she was an angel back then! I smiled at her brightly and she smiled back at me.

"Good morning Mrs. Chimiesno. Welcome to our village. I'm Cha Higurashi." My mother said politely. It was a nice cue to intercept.

"My name's Kagome!" I chirped out. The beautiful woman smiled at me again.

"What a wonderful name! Would you like to meet my son?" She asked me in that pretty voice I had absolutely thought only an angel could have. I bopped my head vigorously as a nod. She chuckled and we entered their big house.

"Mommy! Where are my under wears? Where did you put them! Don't tell me you forgot them in our old house!" Whined a young boy around my age, looking very worried indeed that he didn't have any underwear. I giggled at his funny sentence. He approached us and blushed, hiding at the back of his mom. I'd be shy too if I was heard by a boy asking my mom about my underwear.

"It's okay sweetie. This is Kagome" She pointed at me with her whole hand and I waved to ... Um... What ever his name is. "And this is her mommy." She said, smiling at my mother. He hid behind his mom even more. I had the urge to giggle but clamped my mouth shut.

"Oh, and your undies are in your bag. Go get them honey." She urged her little toddler, and he happily obeyed her, relieved that he had underwear after all. Her mother chuckled. "Silly Inu Yasha! That's my son by the way. Unfortunately, his father is still away and won't be available until next week. So won't you Kagome help my little baby and show him around?" She asked me. I nodded my head vigorously.

And that was our first meeting. It became more frequent after that. I would stay in their house everyday and sometimes, Inu Yasha would go to my house. We had our first parties' together and made friends together. Like Miroku and Sango when we were twelve. But we were closer to each other and so were they.

Unfortunately, Miroku turned out to be a sukebe* and Sango had to keep him under control. Well, not that Miroku didn't show any sign of being one, though. In fact, he asked Sango to bear his child when we were thirteen. Sweat drop.

When we were 14, Inu Yasha's mother died of cancer. No one had seen it coming until it was too late to save her. I was the only one that Inu Yasha talked to for a whole year; the only person he trusted to see his weaknesses and the only one that comforted him when he was down or depressed.

And so, we come here. 3 years older than fourteen. Twelve long years of inseparable friendship dampened slightly only by Inu Yasha's girl friend that resembles me very slightly. You want a sample, here's one conversation.

"Hey, Kagome!" Kikyou shouted over to me. I turned to here, glaring.

"What. DO. YOU want you little slut?" I snapped at her, my hands flying to my hips. My glare was unwavering on her little face. Feeling perfect, but that pimple won't go unnoticed especially by Inu Yasha's great eyesight.

"I don't want anything, just going to ask you a question." She said innocently. Tsk, so she DOES want something. Idiot. Inu Yasha had thought it was time to make an entrance but he was behind Kikyou and I didn't even care.

"Make it quick." I hissed at her dangerously, crossing my arms below my breasts. I didn't want to waste my precious time on someone as insufferable as her. I don't even know why people think we look alike!

"Are your boobs fake or what?" She said, laughing with her little crowd. My jaw drop momentarily as a blush crept its way on my face. I easily recovered, crossing my arms and smirking.

"I'll take that as a compliment that my breasts are big naturally. Unlike yours, totally fake. Oh look, toilet paper is showing off," I said mockingly, pointing my finger for emphasis. She looked at her breasts and her face burned. She looked at me angrily. Now why would she look down at her breasts if she didn't really stuff it with toilet paper? I let out a chuckle.

"Why you little-" She was going to make another retort when Inu Yasha came to my defense.

"Stop it Kikyou. I think it's time you leave Kagome alone." He said to her, scowling. Kikyou pouted thinking she looked cute, but it made her pimple look even bigger. Inu Yasha cringed. He took my arm with his hand and dragged me to class, Kikyou calling out to him.

Well, so much for a little conversation. Unfortunately, Kikyou could never make an intellectual conversation without looking like a pompous idiot.

And now we come to a conclusion: Being Best Friends with Inu Yasha Chimiesno is bad for your health. Stick to drugs than that. 'Cause even though I make him sound like a terrific person, you're only hearing like 8/50 of him. You haven't heard him curse me. But, it ended we were in junior year, namely, last year. There was an incident I'd rather not detail. Clue: There were lips, dark room where we were accidentally locked in and a full moon to be seen at the window. Get the clue? ^_^.But I'm not saying I enjoyed it. It felt like kissing my big brother that acts like he's my little brother. Oops. 0.0 Slipped on that one didn't I? Oh well, that's life.

So imagine my shock when I see an unknown guy inside his room...

No! He is not gay! I repeat, NOT GAY! But it would be fun having to ask fashion advices from a feminine guy or a woman inside a man's body, ne? Believe me; it's real funny for I had a gay friend back when I was only nine, his name was Jakotsu. I never really knew what happened to him... Well, I'm getting lost again.

RRRRRING!

Went my stupid alarm clock. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and yawned, stretching and then getting up. I turned off my alarm clock and got a quick bath and putting on a bit of cologne and lip balm, I brushed my hair and put on my uniform. It was time to pick up lazy Inu. As I may have neglected to tell you, I am the only one allowed to call him that. That was what his mom called him when well... Change of subject!

I walked down the stairs, grabbing and eating breakfast, kissing my family goodbye and walking casually towards Inu Yasha's house. I didn't have to knock for Inu was the only one living in his house. Mr. Chimiesno was always abroad so, he doesn't stay here. With a large house like that, you'd have to be brave to sleep in there alone. I opened my bag to retrieve a copy of the main door's key. Inu Yasha had given it to me, a sign of his trust. Well, what he said was I should keep it for him since he always forgot where he put his key. But I knew it was because he trusted me enough to give me a key to his home.

I inserted the key in the lock. Same old routine. I opened the door, bounced to the stairs and presented myself at the front of Inu's room. I knocked three times quickly and waited for his grumbled words, while opening the door. So as you can read (you can't see it, because this is written), I was his alarm clock. Ain't I a good one in it too? *Smile, smile.*

It didn't come. I frowned. I knocked again and I heard footsteps and the opening of the door, revealing a man...

I remembered knocking at the door, expecting Inu, saying, 'hello to you too' sarcastically like I always did as he says some incoherent words to me loudly. But no. This day is soooo far from that. Firstly, I am used to seeing Inu in a shirt and pajamas. Not a tall handsome HUNK of a guy without a t-shirt, showcasing his perfect abs and muscular chest! Okay, I am not gonna reveal that if I had opened my mouth wider in shock, I would have drooled at his masculine perfection.

Secondly, I am used to Inu's silver locks totally all over his face very unruly indeed--of course, this is perfectly understandable since he just woke up, but then Inu Yasha's hair is always unkempt which is a shame, though. But what I saw was silver hair flowing to his waist straightly and very, very well-kept. I missed to tell you. His locks were FINE. F-I-N-E. In case you don't know how to spell it. So, I'm getting freaked out; out of proportion, really.

Thirdly, I do not remember him so tall. I've heard of growing a centimeter tall over a night. What do you call that? Oh, growths spurt. But 2 entire feet is ridiculous! So out of the question! Inu Yasha was tall as it is anyway! Okay, Kagome. You can breathe now. I sucked in my breathe, covered my mouth as I gasped.

I pointed a shaking finger at him, but his eyes were trained on my face, looking at me, openly showing his irritation.

"D-don't tell m-me you're..." I trailed off my stuttering, unable to say the words that were forming in my head.

The guy, maybe thinking of something else I meant, arched his brow (I forgot to indicate it was A PERFECT brow) and nodded his head. I gasped again.

"Yes I am. And you are?" He asked me, his voice betraying no emotion whatsoever, but his eyes seemed to look at me with irritation and boredom, as if this always happens to him. I briefly wondered if this often DOES happen to him--being seen inside another guy's room.

In my shock, I didn't even process his question. "You're Inu's boyfriend?!" I said loudly in a shocked voice that you could have heard all over the house. The guy's jaw dropped to the ground in shock. No, not literally. (Let me tell you as a reminder that this did not yet come as a shock because I barely knew this guy then.)

Inu was luckily situated in the room beside his own. He opened and shouted, "What the hell did you say?" at me. I blushed and then let out peals of laughter (no, it was not un-lady like nor was it very loud.). I couldn't contain myself.

"I thought. I thought." I tried to explain unsuccessfully. I desperately tried to stop myself form laughing, my hands holding onto my stomach. Inu Yasha glared at the guy.

"What the hell did you do to Kagome, Sesshoumaru?" He demanded from the guy that was Sesshoumaru. I had finally stopped laughing but there was this goofy grin of my face that couldn't be swept.

"I did nothing to make her laugh. She just accused me of being..." He glared at me disgustedly, turning his head away from us. He couldn't stomach it. I couldn't either. I bit back a laugh.

"Actually, Inu. I thought he was your boyfriend." I said, finishing it off. Inu Yasha was shocked beyond life itself. Heck, I couldn't even try to explain it.
