Best Man Steals the Bride: An Inuyasha Fanfiction

Chapter 1: The Good Samaritan

Now that I am trying to remaster my old fics (Update them and make them better), now is the time to go through this, update it, and let the Inuyasha community have it back.

Quick notes: Harry Potter did not have all it's books out yet. If there is outdated technology mentioned, then I will preserve it. I am just toning it up, mostly with grammar correction, not changing the original flavor. Enjoy.

Day: Wednesday

Time: 11:46 a.m.

Place: YKU's Cafeteria.

Kagome performed the two tasks she often did at lunch times at Yamaguchi Kappei University. Carry a tray while trying to get away from Hojo. "Really, Hojo, I gotta go."

"But," Hojo begged, "please come sit with us? I could sit with you? The guys and I could all come sit with you?" he added while he grabbed her hand.

Kagome tried not to topple her food. "Hojo. I'm eating with my friends. You go eat with your own friends."

Hojo looked at Kagome longingly as he let go of her. He watched her sit in her usual seat with her friends. "Damn."

Inuyasha chewed his sandwich and watched his friend make an idiot of himself. Eventually, the depressed man came back to his seat and looked miserably at his empty tray. He hadn't even bothered to fill it yet. Inuyasha couldn't take it any more. His friend used to be great to hang out with. He glared at the woman that had screwed his buddy Racoon up so bad. "Bitch, Bitch, Bitch." He took a bite of his sandwich. "Hey Racoon?"

Hojo glanced at him, his eyes still like a lost pet.

"Why don't you just *munch**munch* give up on that stupid Bitch already?" Inuyasha asked as he continued to eat his sandwich.

Hojo sighed as he layed his head on the table. "She is so special," He watched Kagome laugh at something her friend Yuka had said.

Inuyasha just scoffed. *Keh* "Yeah, no kidding." He whispered to his friend Miroku. "She changed Hojo from a normal warm-blooded male to a desperate sappy moron."

"I heard that." Hojo groaned. "I don't care anymore. She's all I need." He banged his head on the table repeatedly. "What *bam* an *bam* idiot *bam* I *bam* am!"

Miroku patted his friend's shoulder as he drank his milk. "You should forget her. She's never going to go out with you again."

Hojo lifted his head. "She eventually will."

Inuyasha just shook his head while finished off his sandwich. "That's what you said a month and a half ago. Give it up already. Your 'last chance' time is over."

"I can't. I just can't." Hojo looked at his empty tray. "This tray symbolizes my life."

"Philosophy now? Hojo man, geez." Inuyasha pointed over to Kagome who had been getting up to put her tray away. "Look at her. What does she even got? She's not real sexy, she's hardly got a chest, she's just... well, actually she does have a nice...stop that. Trying to convince Hojo here. ...she's just an average run of the mill chick."

"Inuyasha is right," Miroku said to Hojo's groan. "She is no more special than all the women who ogle you right now."

"Hoj'? I gotta say this," Inuyasha said as he started to eat his potato. "You are pathetic."

Kagome tried to stop being annoyed by all the eyes staring at her from Hojo's table.

"Kagome?" Ayumi asked, obviously realizing Kagome's problem. "Hojo does seem different. Maybe you should give the jerk another chance? He probably learned his lesson and won't ever cheat on you again."
