Chapter I
There's No Such Thing As Perfect
Kagome sighed that morning thinking to herself how everyone looked at her life. How everyone thought that she was way too perfect. With her perfect grades, perfect body, perfect attitude, perfect friends, and perfect boyfriend. She then began to think about her perfect boyfriend. He was always there for her. Whether it was for cheerleading practice, shopping, or even watching a total chick flick with her like the Notebook or something, (A/n: I love that movie!) but she never felt that it was right with him. He was sometimes even too perfect. Kagome needed something else. Somebody who wasn't afraid to tell her no or who wasn't afraid to take charge. Like when Kagome a couple times tried to have sex with him, he wouldn't dare have any part of it. He would always say something lame like "Let's wait until I make you my wife." She wasn't even sure if she wanted to marry him for him or for the anticipation of some action but whatever the situation was, Kagome was just plain bored.
"Kagome! You better get ready for school"
"I'm coming!" Kagome yelled and ran into her master bathroom.
Kagome's P.O.V
Later as I ran out of the bathroom with my towel on I searched for something to where for that day. So I picked out a simple wife beater with some new trendy Lady Enyce jeans. I ran downstairs, kissed my mother, and ran out to the bus to begin my so-called perfect life. I simply don't know how I became popular or why I became popular because nothing was really glamourous about me. I lived in the beautiful city of Fukushima. It was crisp and had great and beautiful scenery. I lived in the Kikata area where my school resided. As I arrived at school I was immediately greeted by my dear old friends, Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri, at my locker. We all mostly made up the cheerleading squad. Of course I am the captain. I know too sophmoric but I guess I have to have a good record if I ever wanted to get into Seoul National University. All of the things I have would mean nothing if I didn't get in and I was surely awaiting my acceptance letter.
"We have to recruit this year. I mean we need somebody better for the squad, and I think we should hold like a talent search, but it'll be more like a cheer search or whatever." Yuka said.
I sighed at Yuka's completely air filled head but then I pondered that it would be a great idea to get some fresh meat on the squad. I mean it wouldn't hurt. Then he walked up to me, my perfect boyfriend, with two his lecherous friends, all of them draped by red and white letterman jackets.
"Hey, baby." He said as he kissed me on my lips then snuggled in my neck. He was the quarterback and captain of the football team. I guess that's how we hooked up. He always believed it was like fate, but I think if you have two seriously popular people of the opposite sex, hooking up was bound to happen. Like one of those perfect high school teen movies.
"Hey, Hojo." I said as soon as I got away from his kiss then turned to one of his long-time friends who was also my ex.
"Hey, Kouga."
"Hey, Kagome. How's it going."
Kouga was the best running back on our team of the Red Tigers. He was fast with lightning speed, it was unreal almost inhuman. I then turned to the only friend that Hojo had that I could actually talk to.
"Hey, Miroku. How's that leg." Miroku was the kicker of the team, some believed he had a golden leg, but he only did it for his father. Miroku's real call in life was biology but he knew his father wouldn't go for that.
"It's alright. I know it's ready to send us into another championship." Miroku responded.
I smiled my general cheerleading smile. "That's great, Miro."
"Yeah, Miroku's leg is our ticket into beating the Blue Blazers." Hojo said patting Miroku's back. Then Hojo turned to me. "Kagome, I want to say something to you, alone." He grabbed my hand and led me to dark corner in an old door entrance.
"What's up, Hojo."
"I told my father about me proposing to you."
I sighed and kinda died inside. I mean don't get me wrong I love Hojo but not to the point where I wanted to marry him, but I couldn't hurt the poor guy so I just gave in and said yes to a pity marriage. "So, how'd he react." I said hoping that his father was furious.
"He was thrilled but they just wanted to meet you and get to know you personally so he invited you to dinner with us."
"I don't know, Hojo. I'm not prepared to meet your father. What if he doesn't like me?"
"Baby, he'll adore you." Hojo said cupping my face.
"Alright."
"Plus, um...well..."
"What is it now, Hojo?" I sighed knowing he had some type of suprise for me.
"Me and my father are going on a trip to a Okayama to spend a weekend in my uncle's villa. So my father thought...well I thought it would be great if you'd come with us."
I cringed. A whole weekend alone with the Taishos. "Well, when is it?"
"Um...Friday?"
"Hojo! That's two days from now. I'll have to check with my mother."
"I'm sure your mother will be thrilled."
"God, Hojo I'd wish you wouldn't tell me things like this at the last minute."
"I'm sorry Kagome. You know I love you right."
Geesh! He had to play the love card. I carressed his cheek. "I guess it's, okay."
Later on that evening I was going crazy in my closet trying to figure out what I was gonna wear to impress his father. I've caught a couple glances of Hojo's father, but never actually seen or met them and I was so anxious yet I was nervous that maybe he wouldn't like me. Then my mother came in.
"Honey, what in the world are you doing?"
"Um...mom? I'm going over Hojo's house to meet his father."
My mother shrilled. "Really! I'm so happy for you. I mean I usually wouldn't let my 18 year old daughter get married but Hojo's such a gentleman."
I smiled timidly. "Well, him and his parents are going to some villa out in Okayama for the week and I was wondering if I could go."
"Well, when are you leaving?"
"Um...this Friday."
"This Friday! Kagome that's too quick for you to be leaving us here. I guess if it's that important to you..."
It really wasn't but lets act like I'm thrilled. "Oh, thank you mom. I'll promise that I'll call you everyday."
My mother smiled. "Well, if you're looking for something to wear. You should put on that little red dress that you bought behind my back." My mother winked then left.
I stood there stunned. How did she know about that dress, but I guess I could wear since I did look good in it. I went into the shower, donned the red, bustier dress that stopped 2'' below the knee. I tied my hair into a high ponytail threw on a little lip gloss and dashed out of the door with my keys in my hand.
Later as I arrived at Hojo's beautiful mansion that I've only been in...well... Hold up! I've never been in Hojo's house! I wonder why he never invited me. I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. A tall man with long silver hair and golden eyes opened the door. I stared in aww at how could such a man behold such beauty, like an angel.
"You must Kagome."
My mouth was so dry I just nodded not being able to say a word at the man.
He extended his hand. "Hi, I'm InuYasha Taisho
A/n: Well, that's the start of it.
