a/n: Hello readers! ^-^ Hope you enjoy this story I have written with my spare time. This story is kind of AU-ish, all the characters live in modern Japan in which both humans and demons exist. Some even go to school with humans, I'll explain more in the next chap.
*I do not own anything except my plot*
My Wandering Gaze is Returned by You
How would someone describe her? As a pretty girl of course. She has midnight blue-black hair that has the shine of a raven's feather, pristine skin glowing with youth, and brown eyes that coil with deep emotion. Kagome is a beauty. She has a warm heart, and reckless courage. Oh how you wonder what she is thinking of when she has a far away look in her eyes. How your heart skips a beat when she paralyzes you with one look. And when her brown jewels glimmered, as tears threatened to spill over, you felt your heart ache. And how her charming smile never ceases to amaze you.
She is an alluring flower with the sweetest fragrance.
However, this flower isn't going to let herself be picked out by the hands of any man. Oh no she won't.
Her usual kind nature and charming personality have always drawn the attention of the opposite gender, always had men falling head over heels in love with her at first sight, but also always broke their hearts. Not meaning to be rude, of course.
Whenever some male thought they had their hands on the stem of this flower, they eventually felt the piercing pain from it's thorns. The thorns of rejection.
Metaphorically, she charmed men like a snake with her flute.
It wasn't that she hated men. Nor did she fawn over them. She just hadn't found the 'right one', or at least one that caught her interest, as she so often stated to her friends.
It was like she shot an arrow at their hearts, unintentionally. But then she would stab them with a sword, that her words were, but not meaning to hurt them; just wanting to scrape their skin slightly, but enough to get the message through: she isn't interested, but wants you to be her friend, and let you live on with the pain of getting over her slowly. Yeah, she doesn't know she is doing the last part.
She is a clueless girl whose broken the hearts of many without knowing it.
Well maybe not so clueless.
* Present Time *
"Aaaaand Kagome Higurashi strikes again!" a dark haired demon slayer whispers-announces as she watches the scene before her; her best friend rejecting yet another boy. "Ouch. The poor boy walks away with one of the saddest expressions ever known to human kind; the one of rejection!"
"All Kohai wanted was to be noticed by Senpai. Unfortunate soul he is, if I were him, I'd want to be anything but, right now!" A flame haired wolf girl says in a hushed tone.
"Higurashi calls out an apology! The boy looks back! Will he cry? Will he hold the surging pain in his chest inside? Who knows?! Kagome sighs and looks in our direction with a narrowed gaze! Oh no she caught us!" Sango announces with the hair brush (used as a microphone) in her hand. "This has been yet another episode of Picky Higurashi; the girl who rejects all! Thanks for watching."
Both girls break out into a fit of giggles as they remain crouched behind the bushes.
"Come out you two! This isn't funny." Kagome glares in their direction. The two girls pop out of the bushes.
"Sorry Kagome, I know it is rude to spy on you but we can't help ourselves." Sango gives her flustered friend a nervous smile. Kagome was clearly embarrassed about the whole ordeal, I mean, who wants two curious(nosy) friends spying on them as they are confessed to? Not Kagome.
The brown eyed priestess sighs deeply.
"Let's go back to class, lunch is almost over." Ayame smiles from amusement.
The trio walk through the hallways with smiles on their faces as they talk about things any normal highschool girl would. So of course the topic would somehow lead into that one uncomfortable subject(for most at least); boys.
"Awe, come on Kagome! There has to have been someone you've liked!" Ayame elbows the raven haired girl, who sighs.
"Ayame, I already told you, I've just never had those sort of feelings for anyone. Ever." Kagome says for the umpteenth time. Sango & Ayame sigh simultaneously.
"As much as I hate to say this, Kagome, could it be you just don't have a sense of sexuality?" Sango asks warily. Kagome turns her head to her right to face the demon slayer. "I-..I don't know." Kagome bites her lower lip.
Ayame hates when things get awkward, "No, don't say that! I'm sure you just haven't found Mr. Right." the trio keeps on walking, Ayame smiles, "What if it's because you are destined to only be with one person, fate has already decided who's heart you will belong to, and who will belong to you."
"That's so romantic." Sango says with a blissful sigh.
"So~, you mean, I am already a selected mate?" Kagome asks, growing interested in the matter. Her lips graced a smile, the thought of something like that wasn't something very possible among humans. But then again, fuck it.
* After School *
Splashes of bright orange and red colors cover the sky, the clouds are starting to disappear, and the stars begin to litter the sky.
A stream of silken silver locks flow in the wind, golden eyes stare at the Sacred Tree planted in the Higurashi's shrine, memories are being reflected in the pair of golden ingots. The half demon sighed, he did this a couple of times; visited the sacred tree, the place where- no, there's no point in remembering those terrible memories. Inuyasha thought with a hint of bitterness.
His silver furred dog ear perked up as he heard light footsteps drawing near. His first thought was to find a way to hide away in the shadows, but as the sweet scent wafted into his sensitive nostrils he stayed put. He was put into a trance, his eyelids drooped, a small smile formed on his lips without him knowing. It was an alluring scent, almost seductive, but innocent all in the same. The scent carried the air of sweetness, a hint of lavender...and it was human.
He quickly blinked out of his trance and jumped behind the tree as a teenage human girl and a younger boy walked into the clearing.
"Go ahead inside, Souta, I want to pray for my studies in front of the Sacred Tree." the girl flashed a smile to what the hidden boy assumed to be a relative of the girl's.
The young boy said 'Okay', smiled, and ran off to the house a large distance away.
As the girl came near to where the silver haired boy stood hidden(behind the tree), he couldn't help it when his eyes widened at the better view of the girl.
She was beautiful, to say the least.
She had pearly white skin, smooth, luminous blue-black hair, and eyes that rivaled the shine of diamonds, though they were brown. He instantly became interested in her, something about her perked his curiosity, very greatly. She was like a goddess before his golden eyes, who had a good nature about her, a charm if he may add.
An odd feeling surged at the pit of his stomach, one he wasn't sure what to make of. But he was sure, their paths were meant to cross.
*Kagome*
I slapped my hands together and began my prayer in front of the Sacred Tree. I wished for the good health of my family & friends, for the gods to help me in my studies, I really needed it, I also wished for the boy whom I rejected earlier to not feel so down about it.
I sigh and flicker my eyes open, a smile graces my lips as I stare at the tree. I don't know why, but I feel this tree will lead me to my destiny. And as the wind whistled a tune in my ear, as the long overgrown grass flattened because of it, and the sun trailed behind the mountains, leaving behind a faint trail of color, I really believed me being here, at this moment in time, was destiny.
At that same moment, I realize I am being watched.
"Hello?" I question the dark figure hiding behind the Sacred Tree. "I know you're there, why don't you just come out? I won't hurt you or anything." I say with my hands now clasped together behind me.
"Keh!" My eyes widen. I was not expecting this response. "The day you're capable of hurting me is the day pigs fly!" the gruff, and obviously male, voice says.
I huff at the retort. "I may be human, but I'm no ordinary girl!" I retort.
What an annoyance. "What an arrogant-!" I begin.
I gasp as the boy comes out of the shadows. My eyes widen as I notice this is no boy, this is a demon!
I freeze from shock. But at the same time I am dazed at the beautiful demon standing before me, his hypnotyzing stare sends a shiver down my spine. His silver stream of hair flows flawlessly, and his golden eyes shine brightly, contrasting the dark blue night. He is dressed in red robes, fitting him very well, and has two pointy silver dog ears at the top of his head.
Wait... dog ears!
The Modern Japan today still has demons, but they normally don't wander this far from the forest! And worst of all, this is a dog demon! The most powerful demons that human kind knows! Why, Oh why? Did I have to speak so informally to a dog demon!? I am sure to be sentenced to death. I may be a priestess but I'm only a beginner! I can't even slay a weaker demon yet, let alone a dog demon! I think with dismay.
In that moment I fully regretted not letting Sango & Ayame sleep over at my house! They are both much stronger than me, Sango is a demon slayer, Ayame is a wolf demon, and they both might even be capable of surviving a fight against this type of demon.
The dog demon holds his gaze steady, and as do I, not daring to look away from his mesmerizing eyes, nor even blink!
"HEEELP-!"as soon as I cry out for help his clawed hands cover my mouth as he stands right in front of me in an instant.
"Shut up wench! Do you want your death to come so quickly?!" he whispers. I shake my head.
Something is off about him, I can feel it. He isn't like other demons, a normal high class dog demon like himself wouldn't show any mercy in killing me as soon as he realized I noticed him. I think this as he sighs. He pinches the bridge of his nose with one hand but keeps his right one over my mouth.
"I guess I have no choice, I'm going to have to kidnap you to prevent you from spreading information on my location." What?! Oh you have got to be kidding me! This can't be happening! I am being kidnapped by a dog demon whom's name I don't even know!
I would learn his name that same night.
But, one thing's for sure, I wouldn't go down without a fight.
*End, for now*
