Chapter One

..**..

You always heard that saying that having your first kiss with someone was one of those life changing experiences. The ones that you see on those classic romantic movies. The girl would think about her one true love. Somehow fate would bring the two of them together. You would see them slowly falling in love with each other even before they realized that it was happening. There of course was also some type of drama involved. Look at Cinderella, she lost her shoe had to deal with the crazy jealousy of her step mother and step sister. Or how about the Little Mermaid, she lost her voice just to go after her one true love. Of course we know how this ended. The villain lost and true love prevailed with love's first kiss. Isn't this romantic? Doesn't everyone want a fairy tale ending? Love's first kiss.

That however wasn't the case with Kagome Higurashi. Here she was at the ripe age of 20 years old and still hasn't experience the thrill of having a first kiss. Not that she didn't want to, things just sort of happen and she never gotten the chance to kiss anyone. She didn't think that others were unworthy for taking her virgin lips. Hell she wanted someone to lose her virginity in the lip area. Things just didn't work that way.

"What are you over there thinking about Kagome? Quit zoning out." Her friend Yura said poking her.

"What was that?" Kagome was obviously daydreaming again.

"You should hurry, you know how the boss gets when we start slacking. They don't pay us enough for this level of stress." Yura complained.

"These frilly skirts are so degrading. I understand the idea that sex sales but when do we realize that we are just supporting the system and giving these guys out here boners for days." Sango groaned out. "That's my order Kagome, yours is still being prepared." Sango picked up the tray and walked out of the kitchen to serve the customers.

Kagome and two of her friends worked at the restaurant Serve'em Hot. The restaurant was known for its seafood, ribs, and pasta. It was a relaxed atmosphere and was ranked in the top 20 up and coming businesses. Not only was the food good, the waitresses were the talk of the town. The skimpy clothing that waitresses wore caused all of the men to visit the restaurant on the regular basis. Most of the men would spend their weekly cheek just to see a little skin from a waitress or two. Even with the tips that some men would offer, it still was degrading to say the least.

"Okay here's your order full rack of baby back ribs, with potatoes and mac and cheese. Another order of Grilled Tilapia and seared spinach. Is there anything else that I can do for you?" Kagome asked her customers. She could see that both men were obviously doodling over her outfit. This was part of the job description. Men just seemed to love seeing women dressed in their wildest fantasy.

"No you've been very kind." The customer eyed her up and down. This didn't go unnoticed by Kagome in the slightest but she learned that as long as they didn't try anything crazy she wouldn't have to back hand anyone.

After dismissing the last customer, Yura locked the doors to keep anyone else from entering inside. Sango and Kagome were finishing up with helping some of the other employees clean up the kitchen and make sure that all of the equipment and other items were placed in their proper places.

"I don't think I can work here another day. I've got to find me a better paying job." Yura grabbed her things from her locker.

"Definitely but we can't do anything too drastic. Kagome has a birthday coming up." Sango remembered.

"Oh yeah, you are still a baby. I remember when I was turning 21. Those were the glory years. I was so drunk that I can barely remember all the stuff I gotten into. Lucky for me, someone recorded the whole thing." Yura winked.

"How can you get so drunk that you don't remember anything?" Kagome asked. "I don't even want to know. You are the sexual one out of all of us."

Yura laughed, "Hey you gotta let loose every now and then

Kagome flopped on her bed as she kicked off her shoes. Another exhausting day at work and the energy she had earlier seemed to have been zapped right out of her. In just a few days she would be turning 21 and she was still a virgin in the lip department. That was pretty pathetic even for her. She didn't think anything of it when she was in middle school or high school. Relationships were pretty much over-rated. Sure she had her share of admirers and even gone a few dates. However, nothing stuck and she would usually break it off politely. Now here she was coming face to face with being 21 and still not having her first kiss.

"I mean what's the big deal in a first kiss? It's just lip touching lip. Why haven't I kissed anyone? I sound like a prude with this." Kagome thought out loud. "I definitely gotta find someone to kiss. Who goes 20 years without having a single kiss?"

..**..

"So what are you planning for me? I know that you have something up your sleeve this year." Kagome asked Sango who wasn't saying anything about the matter.

"Kagome you know that I got you girl. You're my best friend but that doesn't mean that I am going to tell you what I have planned for you."

"Now Sango we tell each other everything. Why would you want to keep this from me?" Kagome pretended to pout.

"Don't give me that bull you know that you were the same way when my birthday came up. So I am just returning the favor." Sango teased.

"That's completely different. You didn't want to know what I had planned for you. I'm the exact opposite."

"And that's exactly why I'm not telling you. It's better that you don't know what's going to happen and take it all in stride."

Sango and Kagome had been best friends since they were in diapers. Their families were friends so it was to be expected that the two of them would be friends as well. Sango was the exact opposite from Kagome while Kagome was bubbly, energetic, and outgoing. Sango was reserved and shy. She was the introvert to Kagome's extrovert. She did have her moments however.

"So I'm going to have a party or big shin dig?"

"Something like that and I'll just leave it at that." Sango couldn't help but to laugh at Kagome's tenacity. She was persistent when it comes to her birthday. "So have you talked to your mom or brother?"

"Yeah, I talked to them a few days ago. They're doing well. Mom said that she already mailed out my present so I should be getting it any day now." Kagome couldn't help but to smile.

"That's good to hear."

"Hey Sango I've been thinking and I think what I really want for my birthday is to get kissed."

Sango stopped what she was doing and looked at her best friend. She studied Kagome's features and saw that Kagome was serious. She let out a sigh and walked over to her and gave her a peck on the cheek. "There you go. You have your birthday present. Now I won't have to do anything." Sango smirked laughing a bit.

"You're so silly. You know that's not what I meant by getting kissed."

"You have to be more specific Kagome." Sango teased.

"I'm serious though Sango. Here I am 20 years old and I have never been kissed. I feel like I'm in that movie 'Never Been Kissed' Do you know how that feels to have virgin lips?"

"Umm I really can't say and have you even seen the movie Never Been Kissed?"

"That's beside the point. I'm like the female character in that movie. I could go well into my adult years and never know what it is like to be kissed. Do you know what people say about people who have never been kissed? It is social suicide."

"Well we aren't in high school anymore. So that doesn't work. You could always end up like the 40 year old virgin. That was a pretty funny movie. I think you could pull it off."

"I'm glad that you can find humor in my misfortune Sango. You take the best friend role quite seriously." Kagome pretended to pout.

"Stop being dramatic because it's not that serious. You'll get your first kiss you can't just force this type of thing. It will happen you just have to give it time." Sango pointed out. "Besides it's kind of like sex. It's not perfect. Sometimes you'll mess up but with practice you get better and better." Sango grinned devilishly.

"Okay, you're having a mini orgasm over there. I so didn't need the visual. I'd say that you are as bad as Yura." Kagome laughed walking off.

"Hey sex is a part of life and so is an orgasm." Sango laughed as well.

The days gone by in a foggy haze as it was the night before Kagome's 21st birthday. She made the resolve that she was going to kiss the first person that she saw. It may be a little reckless and completely insane but Kagome refused to go another year or even years without knowing what it felt like to be kissed. She talked to her best friend and a few of her closest friends about it. Sango thought it was stupid and that she should just wait. Yura on the other hand thought it was something Kagome should go for. You only live once right and kissing a complete stranger could be something that she could mark off her bucket list.

Kagome looked over at the clock. It was fifteen minutes past eleven. She decided that she would go out and stroll around the city before her birthday came. That would give her plenty of time to scout out the area and potentially find a handsome stranger to kiss.

She quickly grabbed a pair of jeans and t-shirt to throw on. Nothing fancy just comfortable. Besides knowing her, she would need some good tennis shoes to wear in case she would have to run. The weather was beginning to change signifying a change in the season. Kagome grabbed a sweater just in case it was cooler than she expected. She grabbed her keys and phone and headed out.

The city that Kagome lived in was quite busy during the night time. This isn't out of the ordinary since most people worked a 9-5 job and would unwind at the local bars and nightclubs that were scattered in various locations across the city. Kagome walked around just loving the vibe of being in the city. It was definitely different from her hometown. She lived in more of a suburban area with a mixture of country and city living. So being thrust into the city lifestyle wasn't that much of an adjustment for her.

Kagome spent the remainder of her hour just strolling around the open park in the city. There were quite a few people there so she could just pick a random guy to kiss and high tail it out of there. Kagome could feel herself blushing at the thought that she was actually going to do this.

"I can't believe that I am doing this. To kiss a complete stranger is such a compulsive move. Shoot I better put this lip gloss on. I don't want my first kiss to be me having crusty lips." Kagome couldn't help but to chuckle as she pulled out her strawberry flavored lip gloss. She looked at her phone and it was a minute until midnight.

Kagome could feel her heart racing as she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She needed her heart to find the right person to kiss. When she opens her eyes, the first person she would see would definitely be the one she kissed. After counting to 60, she opened her eyes and looked up. Her eyes spotted a silver hair guy walking in the opposite direction as she. It was unusual to see someone with silver hair but she couldn't let that distract her from her mission.

Kagome took a deep breath. It was now or never.

Kagome walked towards the guy, her heart beating at a rapid pace. She tapped the guy on the shoulder. He stopped and looked directly at her. His amber eyes locking into her brown ones. Kagome quickly closed her eyes stepping on her tip toes and planted her lips firmly on his.

His eyes widen in surprise and before anything could be processed in his brain, Kagome quickly rushed off.
