Authors Note: This is the new story that I promised. I hope you all enjoy it much! I know that it will be fun and very different from my other story because it is set in modern Japan. Also, there are no demons, they is all real people! However, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru will keep their ‘exotic’ looks, Inuyasha minus the doggie ears and Sesshoumaru minus the elfin ears. Same goes for the other demons in the story, same looks, just without the demon attributes!
This story came to me when I was currently watching an episode of ‘Inuyasha’ when Kagome said “I’m with you by choice.” And I noticed that it’s something that she says a lot, so I figured I’d write a story based off of the line! Again... I hope you all enjoy it!
I will reply to all of the reviews through e-mail instead of in my chapters, but if you contribute an idea to the story I will let everyone know that it was your idea. And in the final chapter I will make a special thanks to all of my reviewers with the names of everyone who reviews this story!

Chapter One: All Is Fair In Love And War
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX x
Twenty year old, Kagome Higurashi was looking out the window of the café that she worked in. It was a very slow day and she currently was sitting on a bar stool behind the counter with her head resting in her palm. Her boss Myouga was walking behind her, talking to her best friend Sango Kobayashi. She and Sango had been friends since jr. high, they had known each other for a very long time. Sango and Kagome had both gotten jobs at the café while they were still in highschool, and after they had graduated, they had kept the job so that they could pay for most of their college education.
Kagome was going to college so that she could teach young children, she had always had a passion for teaching children, she loved to help them learn. Sango on the other hand was going to a design school. She loved fashion and she loved to make her own clothes and even clothes for Kagome and Miroku.
Miroku Watanabe was Sango’s boyfriend of four years, they had been highschool sweethearts, despite his lecherous ways. Kagome too had a highschool boyfriend whose name was Hojo Chiba. Kagome and Hojo had been together for an even longer time than Sango and Miroku, she couldn’t remember exactly how long it had been, but she knew that it was a long time.
“I tell you what Sango, why don’t you and Kagome go ahead and go home. We don’t have hardly any business today and I think that Ayame, Eri and I can handle it.” Myouga said bringing Kagome back from her musings.
“Really?” Kagome questioned.
“Sure, I don’t see why not.” Myouga smiled brightly at his two favorite workers.
“Well gee, that’s fair.” Ayame joked as she passed behind her boss and two friends.
“All is fair in love and war.” Sango smirked as Ayame swatted her playfully.
“Well then Sango, let’s go.” Kagome said happily as she jumped up off of the chair she had previously been sitting on.
“You girls have fun today!” Myouga smiled as Kagome and Sango walked to the door that was behind the counter.
“We will.” The two women said together as they walked out the door. They went out the back door of the café and headed toward Sango’s modest blue car. They both got silently in the car and Sango turned it on.
“What time are we supposed to be at your mom’s for dinner?” Sango asked Kagome as she pulled the car out of the parking lot.
“At five, and it’s only two so we have some time.” Kagome answered her friend.
“So do you want to just go back home then?” Sango questioned.
“Sure.” Kagome replied and the two of them drove home silently to the home that they shared with Miroku and his twin sister Kagura. Miroku was what Kagome and Sango liked to call the house bitch. They worked and he stayed at home all day, so if something needing cleaning, Miroku had to do it. However, he usually just hired a maid. He was a spoiled rich kid who didn’t have to work for anything. His father owned some big company and when Miroku and Kagura turned eighteen their father bought them a four bedroom house just to get the lecher and his prissy daughter out of his house. Not that he didn’t love the twins, it was just that those two could be a handful. Actually Miroku Sr. payed for all of the kids’ bills just so that he wouldn’t have to have the lecher back home.
The two women pulled into the driveway and started walking up to the front door of the house. A very happy Miroku ran out of the front door and ran quickly toward Sango and as he reached her he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. He then ran off with Sango yelling to put her down.
Kagome shook her head at her two friends and continued walking through the front door that Miroku had left open. The house was an overly large and highly decorated house. When Miroku Sr. bought the house, he had it furnished with all western style furniture. He figured that the kids would have more fun with it that way.
She walked into the light blue livingroom to find Kagura on the couch watching television with her ever stoic boyfriend Sesshoumaru Satou. “Hi Kags.” Kagura smiled as Kagome began to pass behind the couple.
“Hey Kagura, Sesshou.” Kagome said as she continued her walked.
“Don’t call me that wench.” Sesshoumaru said in a tone that, to those who didn’t know him, would have thought was harsh.
“Whatever Fluffy. I’m going to my room Kagura if you need me.” Kagome laughed as she walked to the basement stairs so that she could go downstairs to her bedroom. For some reason when everyone was picking bedrooms, Kagome had liked the solitude of the basement and took it for herself. She went downstairs and dug through her coat pockets until she found her cell phone and dialed the all too familiar number of her boyfriend Hojo. He finally picked up after the fourth ring.
“Hello?” The voice asked.
“Hi Hojo.” Kagome smiled into her phone before she took a seat on a the futon couch that was up against the left side wall of her room.
“My Kagome, to what do I owe the pleasure?” Hojo questioned her.
“I was calling to make sure that you remembered dinner at my mother’s tonight.” Kagome smiled. Once a month Izumi, Kagome’s mom, invited Kagome’s highschool friends over for dinner, mainly so that Izumi could keep up with everything, but also because Kagome’s friends were like family to her, and she thought it was a nice way to repay Miroku Sr for buying the house that Kagome lived in.
“Is it going to be the same people as it always is?” Hojo questioned with a soft sigh, Kagome had noticed that lately he hadn’t wanted to be around some of her more, stoic friends, if you get what I mean.
“Yes Hojo. Me, you, my okaa-san, jii-chan, Souta, Rin, Sango, Miroku, Kagura, and Sesshoumaru as always. But I think that my mom said that my uncle and cousin were coming as well.” Kagome replied.
“Your mean uncle?” Hojo questioned.
“He’s not THAT mean Hojo, he just doesn’t think you’re good enough for me is all. Uncle Naraku means no harm.” Kagome tried to reassure him.
“Every time I see that man he yells at me for not having a better job. Or for having one at all. He thinks I should come from some rich family like Miroku and Kagura.” Hojo muttered.
“Oh Hojo, quit over exaggerating. He’s just trying to scare you.” Kagome laughed at her boyfriend.
“Yes, well, he’s doing a very good job of it. Kagome my dear, I must be going, I have some things I need to do before we go to your mother’s.” Hojo said into the phone.
“Okay, bye Hojo.”
“Bye Kagome.” He said then hung up the phone. Kagome too turned her phone off and sighed, why did it seem like he didn’t want to do anything with her family anymore? She was a very family oriented person, he knew that, he said once before that he had respected that, but she was starting to not believe him.
She heard some commotion upstairs from where she had left her bedroom door open so she decided to go upstairs and see what everything was about. She got off of the couch and walked upstairs to see Miroku and Kagura in another of their spats with Sesshoumaru and Sango sitting by and laughing at the twins.
“Why do you think everything has to always be about you?” Miroku questioned his sister with his voice raised.
“Because everything is about me.” Kagura answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, her voice still even and no sign of emotion present.
“Yeah, just because your some spoiled rich kid...” he was cut off by Sango.
“And you’re not?” Sango laughed winking at Kagome who had just made it all the way up the stairs.
“You too my sweet Sango?” He turned to her while holding his heart as if she had shattered it into millions of pieces. “I thought you were on my side!”
“I’ve known her longer, sorry.” Sango laughed at his pout.
“I’ll remember that next time you want something.” Miroku smirked. He however didn’t see Sesshoumaru and Kagura taking advantage of Miroku turning around and they headed for Kagura’s bedroom that was the only one of the first floor of the house. Kagura mouthed ‘See you at dinner.’ to Kagome as she and Sesshoumaru passed by her to get to Kagura’s room.
“Oh hush Miroku.” Sango smiled at him seeing the couple walk out of the room. Miroku then turned around.
“Hey were did those two go? I’m not done with you yet Kagura!” Miroku yelled down the hall. He felt a hand place itself on his should and he turned to Sango.
“Let them go dear, I believe this just leaves us with more time to ourselves?” Sango smirked at the lecher as a smile became present across his face.
“Sure, you have a point.” He said with a smiled.
“Just remember five o’clock you two!” Kagome shouted to them as she turned and walked back down to her room, leaving the couple alone in the living room.
