Beauty and the Hanyou

Chapter One: Memories of you

I'll never forget the first day I met him. He was sitting crouched up in a corner shaking. A red hood pulled tightly over his head and hands covering his face. We were only eight at the time. The school bell had already rung to come inside from recess, but he just sat there. He was so defenseless; it broke my heart. Being the bold girl I was I walked over to the broken child. Cautiously I extended a hand and placed it on his right shoulder. Whipping around to face me I saw those amber-honey eyes. They shone brightly with tears that slipped out the corners and down his bruised cheeks. His knuckles bled profusely gushing out crimson blood. My eyes grew wide with fear and I took them into my own.

"Who did this to you?" I asked fearful.

"The other kids. I'm used to it." The boy replied sniffling.

"Why?"

"Because I'm different. I don't look like everyone else."

"So…that doesn't mean they should hit on you."

"You don't understand." he replied gruffly taking back his hands.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking into his eyes curiously.

"My hair, my nails, and my ears," He choked out the last word. "They're different from yours."

"I don't see any difference between us."

"Take a closer look."

Holding out his hands I looked at his nails. They were a bit longer than your average nails. They were sharper too. I took his hands into my own once again and flipped over his palm. Nothing wrong here. So what his nails were sharper. There was no huge difference that I could pinpoint. As if he read my thoughts the boy took back his hands once again and placed them to his hood. Peeling back the fabric I could see what lied beneath. Massive silver hair came pouring out from the crimson cloak. It almost looked as if he had been standing in the moonlight. Memorized I reached out to touch it. Suddenly he grasped my wrists and placed my hands in my lap.

"Sorry….I couldn't help myself." I replied still staring intently at the silver locks.

"I wouldn't go too far back. That's were all the trouble begins." He answered in looking away from me.

"What do you mean? You have sharp nails and silver hair. I love it! You look beautiful."

"You won't say that when you see my ears….."

"I don't think your ears will make me change my mind."

"Really? You don't despise dog ears?"

"Dog ears? Where?"

"Here."

I watched him as he pulled back the massive strands of silver. Out from the sea of simmering gray I saw them. Two silver dog ears. I was completely hypnotized. My eyes swam through the sea of silver to the large beacons. They were amazing. I couldn't believe that anyone would frown upon those beautiful gifts from above.

"You're a hanyou aren't you?" I asked gazing at his ears.

"Unfortunately….." he muttered pinning the ears back against the mountains strands of hoary.

"Don't say that! You're ears must be heaven sent."

"No a gift from hell. I can't stand them."

"Because of what everyone else says? Don't listen to them! Not even for a second."

"You really like these things." He replied slowly lifting his ears off his head.

"I do. I wish I had ears like yours."

"Really? You sound a lot like my mother."

"I do? I mean what I say truly I do!"

"I know. You're the first person to tell me looking like this is okay. Thank-you…."

"Kagome. My name's Kagome."

"Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha. I like that name."

"You seem to like everything about me."

"What isn't there to like?"

Smiling I took his hands and helped him up off the ground. I looked at him with my coco-colored eyes and he looked back with his amber-honey ones. I knew that Inuyasha would be a huge part of my life after that. And sure enough he was.
