Walking out of class, Kagome groaned as she hung her head.
"Why does math hate me so much?"
Her friend Yuri laughed, "maybe because you yell at it all the time."
They were about to their next class when Kagome realized she left her English book in her locker and ran back over to grab it. The halls always seemed a little creepy when they were empty and she gulped, everything quiet but the clicking of her own shoes on the polished floor.
Getting to her locker, she saw a little note on the outside and looked around before opening it.
'meet me in the closet next to your locker row.'
"The closet?"
Walking down to the end, she saw the door and knocked, completely shocked to see Yash come out. The incredibly handsome silver-haired boy smirked and leaned against the doorframe.
"Hey Kagome."
Blushing, she couldn't believe that her longtime crush was standing in front of her. Before she could say anything, they heard footsteps and he pulled her in, shutting the door behind them and listening. They let out the breath both were holding as the steps finally faded out of earshot. Yash turned to her and smiled.
"I didn't know if you would come."
She backed into the wall and looked into his rich golden orbs, "why did you want to meet me?"
Scratching the back of his head, he looked sheepishly at her, "I'm sure it's no surprise that I've liked you for a long time now."
"You have?"
"Yeah. I mean, you're all I think about."
"Wow…"
Her voice came out soft and breathy as the warmth of his body seeped into her. Why was he so close? It was hard for her to think when he was around, and maybe that's another reason why she sucked at math; too busy staring at the hot guy in front of her.
"Yash, why do you want me? You're like the hottest guy in school, and you could have any girl you want. So, why me?"
Lifting his hand, he lightly caressed her cheek, "are you so oblivious to how amazing you are? I don't care about any other girl, because they aren't you. You're so sweet, kind, pure-hearted, and incredibly beautiful."
The slight blush on her cheeks darkened tenfold, "I've never had anyone speak to me like that before."
Leaning in closer, he breathed onto her lips, "now, that's a crying shame."
Kagome trailed her eyes down to his waiting mouth and licked her lips as the temperature in the small closet seemed to rise.
"Yash."
"Kagome…be mine."
Before she could register what was happening, she felt his lips on hers and the world faded in a flurry of sweet emotions. He cupped the back of her head and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss, causing her to moan into his mouth. He groaned at the taste of her, so sweet and tender. Wanting a little more, he begged entrance into her mouth, which she hesitantly gave and whimpered as a flooding heat pooled within her, causing her legs to weaken. Mingled panting breaths became more as Yash wrapped an arm around her waist and crushed her into his body. She squeaked as his hardened arousal pressed firmly against her. Breaking the kiss, she put her hands on his chest.
"Yash, wait."
Taking a few deep breaths, he tried to calm himself down, "I'm sorry, Kagome. I didn't mean to get carried away."
Biting her bottom lip, she straightened out her skirt, "it's okay. I was doing it too."
"So, will you be mine, Kagome?"
"I…I mean, I thought that was obvious with what we just did."
Smiling wide, he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close, "finally."
"Um, Yash?"
"Yeah?"
"We should probably get to class."
Releasing her, he opened the door, "after you, my lady."
She curtsied, and walked out, but turned around to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. He rolled his eyes and grinned as she ran off to class. Life was finally going right, and he whistled as he walked to his class, not caring about the pissed off expression on his teacher's face when he walked in.
After school, Kagome searched for him and started to get worried, until she felt arms come around her hips.
"Looking for someone?"
Her friends stared in shock as Yash showed his very public display of affection. Kagome smiled and turned in his arms, slightly hiding her face, "just you."
It didn't take long for them to notice the audience as it seemed everyone in school was watching them. Yash glared at the guys and walked her out.
"Can I walk you home?"
"Sure, if you want to."
The walk was quiet since they were both slightly nervous, but they held hands and just enjoyed the warmth of each other's company. The shrine steps came into view and they stopped to look up at them.
"I should get going now."
"Wait, can I see you tonight?"
Staring with her big blue innocent eyes, she just nodded and swooned as he smirked and gave her a small tender kiss.
"I'll see you around seven."
She watched him walk off and ran up the steps, skipping through the living room. Her mom smiled and chuckled, "what has you in such a good mood?"
"You know that boy I told you about at school?"
"The one with silver hair?"
"Yeah, he asked me out. Our first date is tonight!"
"Kagome that's wonderful!"
"I know, so I'm going to take a bath and get dressed. He'll be here around seven."
Running up the stairs, she took a quick bath and dressed in a cute empire waist pink minidress with a small white flower pattern, and an off-the-shoulder neckline. There was a hint of cleavage, but still covered enough to be flattering. Picking out some three-inch high cork sandals with white straps, she liked how long it made her legs look. Small dangly earrings and a pink choker with a matching bracelet finished it off, and Kagome looked in the mirror with a smile. Hopefully Yash would like it.
Looking at the time, it was only 6:30, so she decided to walk outside to the Sacred Tree, always in awe of its majestic beauty, but out the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of purple light from inside the wellhouse. Walking over, she opened the doors and stepped down, staring at the sealed well.
"Must have been my imagination."
She starting stepping back up when a wind came out of nowhere. Turning around, it sounded like it was coming from inside the well! Suddenly, the seals burned off and the wooden cover exploded as the vacuum like air sucked her in as if it were the winds of a tornado. She tried to scream, but sound didn't seem to exist in the strange portal. Holding her hands over her eyes, she waited to stop floating and finally felt her legs settle on solid ground again. Taking her hands away, she looked at the bottom of the well, stones that raised up the tunnel like structure had green vines curling along the inside. How would a sealed well have vines?
Climbing them, she found herself staring at a fight between a human and a…monster! She stared open-mouthed as the demon roared and devoured the guy! Once it was finished, it lifted its ugly neck and sniffed the air, eyes landing on her.
"You smell good enough to eat."
Screaming, she jumped out of the well and ran for her life as the weird tentacled creature chased her, but a root jutted out of the ground and she tripped, landing hard enough to scrape her knees, and covered her head with her hands, expecting the inevitable death by this thing, but it never came. Looking up, she saw a woman appear with a giant boomerang which she swung with such ease as she decapitated it. Looking at the neck, she seemed to find what she was after as she sliced the piece of flesh from its corpse. Turning to Kagome, she said something, but the poor girl was in such shock that she seemed to hear in a muffled tunnel before everything went black.
