Author's Notes: Yes, this is my first fic ever! :eyes swell up with pride: I can't believe that I actually got the guts to write a story; even more astonishing is that I actually posted this! This is just some random idea that I had running through my head... So, please no flames (pretty please?) and hopefully someone will like it. And without further ado, here's my story. Enjoy!

Chapter One

Beginnings

His eyes were glittering with an unidentifiable emotion as they continued to probe into hers. It was as if he was trying to figure her out, as if he was trying to see within her own soul. The hallway suddenly seemed taut with tension. Kagome didn't know what was happening, but even she could feel the shift in the air.

"Wha–?" She found out that she couldn't complete her inquiry as, without warning, he moved in towards her and she then found herself victim under his lips.

Kagome tried to hold on to the rational side of her, desperate to undo the forces which brought her to this current predicament. Logically, she knew that she should fight this, that obviously once they took a breath of fresh air they would realize how crazy this was. How something like stress must be affecting them... Yes, stress! That must be the reason! With all the studying and especially the events of the day, it really was not surprising that they were acting out of character.

She tried to let him know that it was okay, that she understood his actions and that he didn't need to do this. But as his lips still continued their gentle assault on hers, Kagome could feel her willpower fading and fading...her thoughts all but escaping her...until finally it was as if she hadn't any at all as she slowly but surely began to respond back.

The kiss had started peaceful enough but as the two both began to respond, strong passions began to arise. Kagome felt herself being pressed up against the door, his weight enticing her. Her arms automatically went around his neck, tightening as he ran a light touch across her stomach. She never felt so tingly and jittery before. What is happening to me? Kagome tried to find all her scattered thoughts and meld them together but as soon as he ran a caress across her collarbones, all her thoughts became incoherent. All she could focus on was being closer to him and as a result lifted up both of her legs to wrap around his waist. He gave a satisfied grunt and as he pushed in closer to her, trying to mold her shape with his form, she could not help the moan that came out of her...

One month earlier:

"Well, I think that's the last of it. All of my belonging are finally in the room." Kagome Higurashi looked up to her mother as she lugged in the final suitcase.

"Are you sure, dear? You know that we could help you unpack your things or least help you organize a bit. We wouldn't mind at all." Kagome could not miss the hopefulness underlining her mother's voice and smiled up at her. She knew that her mother was going to miss her and, truthfully, she would miss her terribly also.

"I know Mama, and I appreciate that, but I'll be fine on my own. Don't worry about me, I can handle it. It's time."

Her mother gave her only daughter a fond look. "Yes, I know. It's just so hard to believe. My baby girl is in college. All grown up now, practically living on her own." Her voice cracked just a little, but she determinedly shook her head. I have to be strong. Kagome needs to know that I trust her to lead her own life. "Sweetie, just don't forget to trust yourself. In the end, the only person that can make your decisions is yourself. I know that you are strong enough to make it. You just have to keep believing that and know that it is true. And remember, know that I am always here for you."

"Thank you, Mama." Kagome gave her mother a final farewell hug, trying not to cry.

Her mother gave her daughter one last look, kissing her on top of her head, before stepping out of their embrace and heading out through the door. "Now then, I shall be off just as soon as I find your brother and grandfather. I think your grandfather mentioned something about making sure that your floor was free of evil spirits."

Kagome shook her head, her laughter ringing out through the air. "That sounds just like something he would do."

As soon as her mother left, Kagome flopped onto her bed, giggling softly as she lightly bounced up and down. I can't believe this. I am in college. No more high school drama. This is a start of a new life, a new chapter in my life. I'm finally on my own, ready to take my life in my own hands. I can't hardly wait. I just hope that I'll adjust here ok... Her thoughts were cut off as the door to her room abruptly swung open and a girl came strolling in, carrying some luggage with her. Kagome sat straight up in her bed and looked at the stranger that had entered her room. With her long straight hair flowing down her back, lean body, and magenta eye shadow, there was only one word that Kagome could describe her by: pretty.

"Oh hey, you must be my new roommate. I'm Sango Ito." Sango stuck out her hand for Kagome to shake.

Kagome smiled at her new roommate and went over to her to accept her hand. "And I'm Kagome Higurashi. It's nice to meet you." Wow, she seems really nice. And here I was, dreading the meeting of my roommate.

"So, I must admit, I was really scared of meeting you, Kagome. Well, not you per say...I mean, I was scared about meeting my roommate and wondering if we would like each other and all..."

As the two girls chatted on and started telling the other about themselves, Kagome could not help but think that already she was sure that Sango and her would end up being the best of friends.

A/N: Ok, so how was it? Good, bad? Let me know & please, please review! It sure would help give me the motivation to put up the next chapter, not to mention reviews would just plain make me feel good! Well, until later!
