"How did you meet him?" Sango asked me as we sat at the café table.

"Well I met him when I went to boarding school when I was young. I was only thirteen." I answered.

"Wow. So you've known him for a long time!" She seemed shocked.

"Yeah. Is that surprising?"

"Well you said you've been dating him for a long time, but I would have never guessed that long!" Sango had definitely gotten the wrong interpretation from my words.

"Hah! No, we haven't been dating since then. That's just when I met him!" I laughed a bit at her facial expression and the slight blush that dusted her cheeks.

"Oh, I guess that would make a bit more sense." Sango smiled across the table at me. The waiter came and ordered our coffees for us. A simple strong black coffee with two teaspoons of sugar for Sango and a caramel latte for me with extra caramel drizzle.

I was surprised when my mother introduced me to Sango. Turns out my father had a child with a woman before meeting my mother. So now I have an older sister. I guess it'll take some getting used to but I like the idea of it. Anyway, we decided to meet up for a lunch date and get to know each other. When I told her that I was engaged she jumped on the topic. I was thankful for something to talk about because I really had no clue what to say to her.

"So tell me more. How did you guys get together? What's he like? Is he hot?"

"Wait, I'm getting there!" I couldn't help but laugh a little. I could tell we would get along. Plus she already sounded like we were sisters raised together. "Wow. It seems like forever ago...

oOoOoOo

I hate waking up early. It's a deep burning passion in me. Every morning I have to wake up at 6:30 to get ready for school. Not only do I hate waking up early, but I hate talking to people in the morning. Living with eleven other girls does not help. Let's just say I am not a morning person.

"Kagome, can you pass me the cereal?" Kikyou asks me at the breakfast table. I glare at her as best I can with sleepy eyes before she asks Ayame who is sitting right next to me. Ayame gives her the cereal and Kikyou sticks her tongue out at me. I hate being at boarding school. At home I wouldn't have to live with other teenage girls. They're such a pain to live with. I miss my brother.

"Girls, you are dismissed." Mrs. Kaede tells us. I'm the first one up and out of my chair. Once I get to my room I get dressed, make my bed, throw my hair in a ponytail, and grab my bookbag. Ayame, my roommate, walks in the room as I'm walking out.

"Kagome, why are you in such a rush?" She asks me.

"Didn't do my homework last night. I have to do it now." She laughs at my answer and I just walk away. I sit in the living room and get my homework out. Just as I'm finishing my homework, we're told it's time to walk to school. I finish up my last problem, and join Rin in putting on our shoes.

"How are you doing Kagome?" She asks me, all smiles.

"Tired." I don't know how people do it. Be so awake so early. Rin is one of the youngest in three grades lower than me. We walk the short distance across campus to the school, only about ten minutes. At the front door we wait to be let in. Rin and I say bye as we find our friends. I spot Inuyasha leaning against a wall so I walk over to him.

"Hey Kagome."

"Hey Inu." He's like me in the morning. Doesn't want to be bothered.

And that is when it happened. I met him. Sesshomaru.

"Hey Inuyasha, can I see your math homework?" Sesshomaru walked right up to Inuyasha not noticing me.

"No! And I was having a conversation here. Try not to be so rude." Of course me and Inuyasha weren't really having much of a conversation, but when it came to his brother, Inuyasha was extremely short tempered. That's when Sesshomaru turned to me.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you. What's your name?" I knew Sesshomaru because he was Inuyasha's brother but he certainly didn't know me. Sesshomaru was a nerd. Kept to himself, didn't have many friends and wasn't the cutest boy in the grade by far.

"Kagome. It's fine." Was all I felt like replying. It was early after all.

"Well nice meeting you. See you Inuyasha." Then Sesshomaru walked away and the school bell went off signaling all students to report to homeroom.

"Let's go Inu." And we went to class. It was a normal day and nothing special at all had occurred. Well at the time I thought nothing special had occurred.

oOoOoOo

"... In reality I had met the guy I'd end up being engaged to that day." I said as I finished my story on how Sesshomaru and I had met.

"Really? That's it?" Sango asked.

"Yeah. I was young I didn't really notice him then."

"So when did you start noticing him?" She inquired. I sighed and chuckled before I launched into my next story.
