I am just an average girl.

Hi, my name is Naomi Hikaru. I'm fifteen years old and have black hair with bangs and brown eyes. I live in Tokyo with my mom, dad, and my brother Joey.

A little before my fifteenth birthday, my life started to complicate – a lot.

It all started with a job I took. Summer vacation just started. Anyways, I was working for one of my friends' families. Kagome Higurashi – unfortunately, she was struck down by a monster and died.

I fell into a sacred well and met a hanyou named Inuyasha. He used to be a friend of Kagome's. We had a lot of fun together, but then Inuyasha lost his memory. We had to get it back for him, but before he fully recovered, he was cast under a spell by his older brother Sesshomarou. But we managed, and the boyfriend I always wanted is what I have now.

I thought that was the end of our crazy adventures, but it was only the beginning....

#%#%#%

Naomi ran as fast as she could.

No, he's going to catch me, he's going to....

"Oh!" suddenly, Naomi's foot went over a large stone and she tripped reaching her hands out to break her fall. She turned around onto her back. She tried to get up but fell back down again. She closed her eyes and screamed as she was picked up in a blink of an eye.

Naomi raised her hands to her cheek and paused. She opened her eyes as she was being carried out through the sky, the wind rustling through her hair. She felt cool refreshing breezes of air hitting her face.

The corner of her mouth twisted up and formed a smile. The smile turned into a chuckle and the chuckle turned into a laugh. Suddenly, she was laughing so hard, that tears started to form at the corner of her eyes. She wiped them off and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck.

"You always know how to have a good time." She sighed, gripped onto his shoulders.

"Hang on tight." He said. "We're going up higher." Still in the air, Inuyasha double jumped himself even higher when it appeared that they were higher than the Rockies.

Naomi looked down and gasped. Everything seems so tiny now that they were high. Dirt trails looked like mere worms on grass. The temples and shrines looked like peanuts and the people looked like ants.

Inuyasha turned his head and faced Naomi. "Ready?" She nodded. She raised her hands off of his shoulders and he dropped her.

She screamed in delight has she was plunging to the ground. She spread her arms out and closed her eyes and she fell through the wind.

She remained in that position for a few seconds, then rolled over and started to fall on her backside. She opened her eyes and looked down. There was about 30 seconds left until she would hit. She looked around. Where was Inuyasha?

She started to scream. "INUYASHA!!!" she cried, squeezing her eyes tight. She hesitantly opened them and saw that she was going to hit.

I'm dead.

She crossed her arms on her chest as she was about to fall to her death.

To her surprised, she felt a swoop of wind. The next thing she knew, she was in the arms of Inuyasha again.

"Scared were ya?"

Naomi smiled and hugged his shoulders.

Inuyasha landed and Naomi stood back onto the ground.

"More people should be as ambitious as you." She said, smiling.

"Hanyou's cannot be ambitious." Said a deep voice.

Naomi gasped and held onto Inuyasha as tight as possible. Inuyasha sniffed the air, then he put on an angry face.

"There's only one scent this disgusting." He murmured.

There was a loud laughter in the air. But it was a harsh, cold, evil laughter. They looked around but no one was there. It started to pierce their ears. Naomi buried her face into his shoulder.

"Do you remember me Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha didn't respond. He turned around and started to sniff the air, trying to find him.

He stopped and looked up.

"Naraku!"

Naomi blinked a few times.

Naraku?

"Burn in hell, bastard." He muttered.

Naraku shook his head. "Manners, manners, Inuyasha." He narrowed his eyes and dove forward to attack him.

Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga and used it to block the attack. He was bounced back into a tree, but stood up.

Naraku walked over to Naomi. Naomi gasped and started to back away, but Naraku grabbed her arm. She widened her eyes.

"What a beautiful young lady we have here." He whispered, his hand under her chin, inspecting her face. He lowered his hands to her breasts. Naomi's hand slapped his and he lowered it reluctantly.

"I could just eat you." He said, grinning.

"Pervert!" she cried, she balled her hand and hit it towards his face. He took a step back and dodged the shot.

"Feh." He said bitterly. He lowered his eyes. "I have plans for you." He said in a tiny whisper.

Naomi gasped. "Wha—?"

Interrupting, Inuyasha ran forward with Tetsusaiga and stabbed it through his body. Naraku reacted quickly by grabbing the sword before it actually scraped his body.

"Fool." He murmured. He threw the sword high into the air. It landed in the dirt and sunk deep into the ground before transforming back.

Inuyasha cringed. He raised his claws and swiped them right through Naraku.

Before he saw any flesh or blood being separated, Naraku's body turned into a mist that circled Inuyasha and Naomi.

"I'll be back." He whispered and the mist was out of sight.

#%#%#%

"Hey Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked up at Naomi. "Yeah?"

"Who was that guy?" Naomi asked.

Inuyasha paused. "An enemy, Kagome and I had since the beginning."

Naomi nodded. "What did he mean.....he'll be back?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "It's Naraku. Any thing can happen."

#%#%#%

"Anything Inuyasha?"

Naraku looked down at the two figures talking below.

He lowered his eyebrows.

"That's exactly what is going to happen."

#%#%#%

Naomi looked at the moon.

It looks so small from here, she thought, gazing at the bright yellow light of the smooth sphere shaped object in the sky.

She looked over at Inuyasha who was right beside her. His eyes reflected the light. He had his arm around Naomi.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" she whispered.

Inuyasha closed his eyes. "To think, some day everything will be obliterated."

Naomi stood up.

"What is your problem?" she sighed, shaking her head with a bit of an angry expression on her face.

"What is it?" asked Inuyasha, looking up at her.

"Nothing, but, just, WHY must you always see the worst of things?" she said gruffly.

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"Well, like the other day when I asked if you wanted to go swimming in the lake you didn't want to because you didn't want to catch a cold?" she said.

"It was freezing outside!" he claimed. "What does this have to do with anything? Remember that time we were climbing trees? You didn't want to because you were going to break a nail!"

Naomi's face turned red.

"And Naraku." She said, changing the subject. "If he's your biggest mortal enemy, then why don't I know about him?"

Inuyasha stood up. "We're fighting again."

Naomi widened her eyes and sighed. Yes, she had remembered their promise not to fight ever again. She didn't want to relive the horrible events of the past.

She nodded. "Just a....time out. Let me cool down okay? I'm just going to go for a walk."

Inuyasha nodded and put his hand under her chin. "You always know where to find me."

Naomi forced a smile and nodded. She walked away. Inuyasha sighed and sat down at the tree and fell asleep.

#%#%#%

Naomi was walking through the woods that Inuyasha was kept at for those 50 years. Everything was still. It would all have been pitch black if it were not for the moonlight, which created a tinge of silver that shone through the trees.

She squinted at the moonlight. It reminded her of Inuyasha. She had to get away from it.

School's about to start soon, she thought. And I won't be able to spend as much time as I did before with Inuyasha. She lowered her head and hugged herself. Maybe its for the better. I don't want too much of him.

How long has it been since she had first met Inuyasha? Two months ago, somewhere around there. (Me: Memo: This all started sometime after school ended for summer holidays. So right now it's late August.)

She lowered her head and sighed.

I'm being too hard on Inuyasha, she thought. She always wanted a boyfriend; she just didn't think it would be so complicated. I overreacted. I should apologize.

She turned around and closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.

She froze with fear as a chill went up her spine. She blinked then gulped. There was a faint pearl glow behind her. She turned around again and saw Inuyasha. She smiled, but still had obvious fear in her expression.

"Inuyasha." She breathed. She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his body. "Sorry." She whispered. She didn't really want to make this look like a scene.

Inuyasha acted with surprise. No, not surprise. More of....confusion. If it did, it quickly disappeared. "That's okay. I forgive you." He said whole- heartedly.

Naomi giggled as Inuyasha tickled her under the chin. His hands found their way to her breasts.

"Oh!"

Naomi cried out and slapped Inuyasha's hand. She backed away.

Inuyasha blushed. "Sorry, my hand slipped." Naomi gulped but shook her head and went back.

"That' okay I guess." She rubbed her cheek on his chest. "Just, no more okay?" Inuyasha nodded. They went to sit by a big tree. Naomi sat down beside Inuyasha and leaned on his shoulder. She quickly fell asleep. Inuyasha did nothing, but looked around and started chuckling. The chuckling remained soft, but wasn't quiet enough for him to hear the soft rustling in the bushes.....

#%#%#%

Me: Cliffy I guess!

Inuyasha: I'm no pervert! That's HIS job! (points to Miroku)

Miroku: (GASP) I don't go for the boobs! It's the ass – and only SANGO'S ass. Jebus.

Sango: (slaps his cheek) NO MORE ASS GRABBING!

Miroku: (rubbing cheek) Look what you've done.

Me: (Has no idea where Sango and Miroku came from) Anyways, if the next chapter seems a little confusing, don't let it throw you off. It all comes together in the end. Anyways, LONG chapter! The other ones hopefully won't be as long.

DISCLAIMER (one for every five chapters now, I might not have that many chapters as ten now): I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters I have so far – except for Naomi, which resembles moi. Oh well. The only characters I've used so far are Naomi, Inu, and Naraku. Anyways, enjoy Inuyasha (which I do not own).
