Chapter 1: Meet the Father

Kagome walked up the path towards a mansion in which she would be the second part of a group working on a project. After ringing the doorbell her eye was caught by a large fountain in the yard. In the middle of the fountain stood two people holding each other in a tight embrace. Each of them was decorated in an old fashioned Kimono.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Kagome turned around quickly to notice a man with long silver hair tied into a high ponytail. He had enchanting golden eyes that captured her gaze the minute she noticed them. "My father had it built for my mother as a wedding gift."

"It's very beautiful. I've never seen anything like it." Kagome managed, unable to look away from his eyes. He smiled at her, making her want to melt away. He was like an untouchable 'God'.

"Yes, well…" He trailed off, noticing that the young woman in front of him looked as though she might begin to drool all over herself if he didn't snap her out of her trance. "You must be Kagome." That did it, he noticed a slight jump in her stance.

She was a little surprised to hear this 'God' say her name. It sounded so foreign coming from him. "Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you, Mr…."

"My apologies, my name is Inutaisho. I am Inuyasha's father. I assume you're here to work on your project." Kagome's eyes flew open in surprise and she heard his beautiful voice as he gave a light laugh. "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, I thought you were Inuyasha's older brother, not his father." Inutaisho laughed and Kagome blushed from embarrassment.

"Please, excuse me, but no one has ever said that to me before." He stepped outside and closed the door behind himself. "Would you mind going for a walk with me? Inuyasha will be held up for just a little longer."

"I'd love to." Kagome replied, though she hadn't meant to sound so excited.

"Good." He motioned to a sidewalk that went off to the side and around the house. "So, Kagome why is it you're taking a class in Logic Thinking?"

"Well, I actually only needed an extra credit and thought it would be a fun class." They continued to walk.

"I see, well that must mean you are a very bright young woman to be taking such a difficult class." She smiled and he noticed her turn her head a little to the side. "Have you met your professor yet?"

"No, this project was assigned through an e-mail. Today will be the first time I meet Inuyasha, personally anyway." Inutaisho just listened and nodded in agreement.

"Well then it's nice to meet you." Kagome stopped.

"What?" Kagome said turning to him.

"I'm the professor." It was a good thing there was a bench behind Kagome because she was going to sit in that spot no matter what. Inutaisho sat next to her. "Is something wrong?"

"How old are you, Mr. Tanoka?" She said looking into his golden eyes.

"I'm 38, and please call me Inutaisho, Kagome."

"That means you had Inuyasha when you were 17 and what about his older brother?" Her hands were clasped in her lap and she stared at her lap, she was just a little embarrassed.

"He was born a month after I turned 16." He faced her. "Those were just little flings that ended wrong." He leaned his back against the bench and looked up at the sky as a bird flew over them. "Kagome, I partnered you up with my son because when I read your information packet and personal essay, you really caught my interest." She looked at him, his eyes were closed and his bangs were slowly blowing in the breeze. "You are a beautiful woman, Kagome."

"I don't know what to say. No one had ever said anything like that to me before." He sat up and placed one of his hands on top of hers.

"I know that I am 13 years older, but I feel like I'm acting like a child with a crush on someone he doesn't even know." He pulled his hand away and leaned back against the bench, again.

Kagome sat there for a moment motionless. Then without really thinking, she laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Inutaisho smiled and put his arm around her shoulders.

"I guess I can give you a shot, if you're so determined, but don't treat me any differently than the other students in your class." His arm pulled her closer, if it was possible.

"That's a good deal."

A/N: Okay, I already have up to chapter 7 written and it'll make sense why she said yes all of a sudden. But….I refuse to post the next chapter without at least 2 reviews…and Jacqueline, you don't count. I hope you enjoyed it!
