CHAPTER 1: An Arrogant Ass
"I can't believe that arrogant ass!" a shrill voice rang through the air, it's owner tossing her hands up above her head in anything but amusement. She brought her hands down and held the front of her ripped shirt together.
HE had totally embarrassed her in front of what seemed like millions of people, or the entire high school, in this case. HE had NO right what-so-ever to kiss her like that, then poor coca-cola down her shirt...and then HE-
"Kagome! Wait up!" Sango cried out after her, interrupting her thoughts. Kagome came to a halt and clicked her tongue impatiently. When Sango eventually caught up, she continued to rant, pacing back and forth.
"Just because he's one of the most popular boys in school does NOT mean he can treat people like shit! Especially not like that! If he thinks he can get away with it, then he's got another thing coming!" In all of Kagome's fury, she accidentally walked into a soft, yet firm wall. She peered up and gazed into the most beautiful pair of navy-blue eyes that heaven had offered her the privilege of seeing.
"Here, you look like you need this," the eyes offered a small hand-towel warmly. Kagome could only stare at him with curiosity.
"Who are you?" she asked as she looked him over, trying to see if she recognized him. She remembered seeing him hanging out with Inuyasha earlier that day.
The boy was almost half a foot taller than her, and had thin, gentle eyes. His other facial features were just as soft. He wore a simple royal blue t-shirt that matched his eyes and clung tightly to his muscular chest, with tan khaki pants. He had short, light brown hair that hung in his eyes.
What a hottie!!
Kagome blushed and turned away when she realized what she was thinking.
"Forgive me, I am Tokuno. I saw what Inuyasha did to you."
"Yeah, you and the entire school..." Kagome puffed and turned away. Tokuno didn't say another word as he handed her the towel. Kagome took it cautiously, but did not try to dry herself off with it. Instead, she threw it back at him. "Thank you, but I do not need your pity," she said casually with distaste.
"I didn't mean it that way...I thought what Inuyasha did to you was totally wrong and sick. I didn't come here to pity you." Tokuno bowed slightly to express his sorrow.
"Bullshit! I saw you hanging out with him this morning! And he only lets the popular people who agree with everything he says and does hangout with him."
"You don't understand!" He tried to explain. "See, I was only with him because I had just transferred from another school, and he and his friends were the first to befriend me." Kagome looked ready to explode, Sango decided.
"Hey Tokuno, my name's Sango, and this is Kagome." Sango greeted him before her best friend did something they both would regret. She paused a moment, ignoring Kagome's murderous glare. An idea formed in her head and she grinned mischievously.
Time to play matchmaker...
"Kagome and I were going to the movies tonight...and I was wondering if you'd like to come."
"We were?" Kagome said questionably and Sango elbowed her lightly in her side. Tokuno seemed oblivious to this.
"Really? Sure! What are you going to see?"
"Uh...w-what are we g-going to see...um," Sango stuttered. She said the first thing that came to mind. "Lord of the Rings!" Kagome gasped.
"B-b-but I was going to see that with my true love..." Kagome whined. LOTR, as people abbreviated it, was her favorite book, and she promised herself that she'd be there with her true love during the first movie, sitting side by side, marking it as a special event. She even told herself that, if it came down to it, she would end up having to buy the movie and save it until that special someone came along. It was a promise she also intended to keep. She watched as the smile only widened on Sango's face.
"Exactly," she replied, tilting her head in Tokuno's direction. Kagome sweat dropped. She glanced up at Tokuno, and he smiled sweetly at her.
Then again, maybe this was a sign from heaven..
She again gazed into his eyes. They were still as gorgeous as ever, but there was something missing from their depth, Kagome noted. She dismissed the thought and sighed in defeat. Sango's orbs brightened considerably.
Well, maybe Sango's right. If I give him a chance...he may be the one...I hope, at least...he's such a hunk.
"Alright. How about I pick both of you up at..." he glanced at his watch, "7:30 tonight? For dinner and a movie?" Sango nodded in delight as Kagome gave a weak smile and sighed again. Sango took it upon herself to write ONLY Kagome's address down, telling him she'd be over at her friend's house.
How convenient for her.
"See ya later!" she turned to Kagome. "Now let's go get you a new shirt and a shower in the girls' locker room." Sango dragged the pondering girl towards the lockers.
"Then it's a date, Kagome...Sango!" he called after them, but mainly Kagome.
******* That evening
"I don't know what to wear!" Kagome was freaking out. Ever since after her shower she had gotten really excited about Tokuno. She was beginning to believe that he was the one for her. Tokuno had manners, was as sweet as possible, and, most importantly, liked her for HER.
Sango held her by the shoulders and shook her softly, telling her that if he WAS the one, then he wouldn't care about her clothing (though it always helped, Sango thought) or if she made a fool of herself in public.
"You're right," Kagome agreed finally and walked into her medium-sized closet. "Besides, you'll be there with me to bail me out just in case, right?" Sango chuckled nervously and scratched her chin. When she didn't receive an answer, she faced her. "Sango?"
"Hey! This'll be PERFECT to wear!!" Sango suddenly shrieked, changing the subject. She pulled a tight red dress out of the closet and gave it to Kagome. It went midway up her thigh and hung loosely from her waist down. It was conservative, yet revealing at the same time. Just the way she wanted it. The straps were thin and came together in the middle of her dress that covered her chest area, going into a low cut back.
Kagome hastily tried it on, realizing she only had another ten minutes before he would arrive.
Sango squealed with delight at the sight of her friend. "Perfect!"
"Hey, do you want to borrow anything?" Sango shook her head. Kagome just shrugged as she put on some light pink lip gloss. She began to play with her hair, pulling it up into a ponytail. She turned to Sango.
"Leave it down," she requested, standing up off the bed and reaching for a rose pin. She gently placed it in her friend's silky black hair.
The doorbell rang in the background, causing Sango to squeeze Kagome's hands.
"I really do think you'll find your love tonight, Kagome. You've been so patient...he's got to be the one, he's just got to..." Kagome nodded her thanks as they headed toward the door. Kagome took a deep breath and slowly opened the door to reveal Tokuno with a dozen red roses in a bouquet. His jaw dropped at her beauty. When he finally regained his composer, he handed the roses to Kagome who gasped from surprise. Unknowing to her, Sango had called Tokuno and told him about tricking Kagome into going with him alone.
"You-you look b-beau-beautiful," he breathed out heavily. Kagome's cheeks flushed at his comment.
"Thank you..."
I wonder what Inuyasha would say about me now...maybe he'd take back that comment of me being ugly…
~~~Flashback~~~
The crowded roared as Inuyasha scored yet another touchdown. The coach called them in because it was half-time and the team gathered around him. Kagome was there helping out as a volunteer thing, getting water and towels for the players. She had even convinced Sango to help out...though Kagome didn't think that was the only reason, because of a certain football player named Miroku.
One of the players turned to her. "Hey girl, get me some coke," the 'arrogant ass' demanded. Kagome scowled deeply.
"I have a name, Inuyasha," she stated menacingly, her face getting as red as a tomato.
"Really? You have the same name as me!" He answered sarcastically. Kagome's eyes narrowed into tiny slits.
"It's KA-GO-ME!!!" she growled, throwing an unopened can of coke at him. Inuyasha caught it with great ease as if it were a football. He smirked at her. He liked her fiery spirit, but it was time to put an end to it. The coach left for a minute to talk to the referee. Now, he realized, was that time.
"Hey Kagome," he spat out her name, walking towards her with the can in hand. He came face to face with her, and she looked stunned. Inuyasha took advantage of this and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her body against his tightly. He bent down slightly and forced her lips apart with his. Kagome let out a small yelp as she felt his tongue enter her mouth.
This was her first kiss, and she hated it. He was way too forceful, bruising her already tender lips.
Inuyasha, on the other hand, was enjoying it. He could taste her innocence and enjoyed the thought or ripping it away from her.
The other football players gathered around them, most cheering and saying "way to go, Inuyasha!".
"Inuyasha! Stop it! I think she's had enough!" Miroku, Inuyasha's best friend, yelled sternly. He looked worried, even though he was a player himself.
"Kagome!" Sango cried out, trying to push through, but to no avail. The throng was too thick...she called out to her again.
Kagome felt desperate as she tried to push him away, but Inuyasha only held onto her tighter. She did the only thing she could do.
"OW! FUCK!" Inuyasha screamed as he threw Kagome to the ground. He brought his hand up to his mouth only to reveal blood when he moved his hand. Inuyasha glared at her with such hatred that Kagome felt real fear for the first time.
Inuyasha started to advance towards her. He picked her up by the collar of her uniform.
"Inuyasha, that's enough!" Miroku said again. He tried to get to them, but the other 'barbarians' held him back.
He snapped open the coke and poured it down her shirt. "You ugly slut!" Kagome gasped when the ice-cold drink fell in between her breast.
"Don't do it, Inuyasha! Stop it now! You're going to go too far!!" Miroku began as he, too, began to feel desperate.
Inuyasha ignored his friend as he ripped open the front part of her shirt as she kicked and tried to scream.
"What's going on in there?" the coach yelled, but no one let him in.
He then bent down and licked the coke off her chest, throwing the empty can to the ground and holding both of her arms at her side. Kagome gave up struggling and started crying silently. She felt all eyes on her, even the people in the stands. He finally let go of her.
He stared at her hurt, tear-streaked face, almost instantly regretting what he did. He saw the damage he had done to her sweet face.
Maybe Miroku was right...what have I done...,
Sango finally broke through. Kagome looked ready to kick some ass. After a second, which seemed like eternity to Inuyasha who was waiting to see how she would react, Kagome fled out of the football field. Sanyo chased after her, but not before saying what was on her mind.
"You sick bastard..."
~~~End flashback~~~
"Well time for you two to get going if you want to eat dinner before the movie!" Sango rushed them out the door, pushing a dumbfounded Kagome into the passenger side of the car.
"HOLD IT!" Kagome yelled, realizing what was going on. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I-uh...suddenly don't feel so good?" Before Kagome could say anything, she spoke again. "Hurry now. You don't have much time!
"Have her back before 11:30!" Kagome's grandpa bellowed from the door.
"Yes sir," Tokuno answered politely.
"But-"
"Go NOW!!" Sango screamed loudly. Kagome cringed, sending a glare Sango's way before the car sped off. Kagome couldn't decide whether to thank Sango for this, or to kill her when she got back.
****** Dinner
"Let me help you out," whispered Tokuno as he offered her his hand. She gratefully took it.
"Thank you," she said as he led her inside.
''I'll have a salad and a milkshake, thank you," Kagome told the waitress. She didn't want to spend all Tokuno's money or pig out in front of him, so she ordered light.
The rest of dinner was pretty uneventful, consisting mainly of introductions. Kagome found out that he came from a private school over 100 miles away. Tokuno also was a great football player and was joining the school's team...just like Inuyasha...
WHAT am I saying??? He always finds SOME way to ruin my day...figures he would find a way to ruin my date!
Before they knew it, their orders came and they were finished eating and soon were at the movies, with no time to spare. Traffic had been hideous, bumper to bumper they drove for a mile at what felt like 2 miles per hour. It had taken them almost a whole hour to get there, but they had finally made it.
They hoped the previews were still going, and to their luck, they were JUST ending. But there luck ran out about there. The theater was jam packed, leaving only two seats left together.
Tokuno pulled Kagome to those seats in the top row, farthest from the screen.
"Excuse me," Kagome mumbled as she and Tokuno pushed passed people to the middle of the row. They sat down with their popcorn.
"Hey Tokuno...about time you got here. So, who's your date..." a guy sitting next to her said, never taking their eyes off the screen.
Wait a second...I recognize that voice...
"Inuyasha!!"
"Kagome??" Inuyasha choked out. He turned to Tokuno. "Kagome's your date???"
