The Begining

It was a typical day in Tokyo, The school girls in their short skirts, the men in their short skirts and sailor tops. The men in their black dress pants and white shirts. All heading to the same place, school.

Yes summer was over, the beaches, the sun, had all left but a memory as they trudged down their own death rows, to the hanging room. Lost in there own little worlds, trying to remember what it was like to be playing volleyball with friends on a beautiful sandy beach so far away from school, so far away from stuffy old classrooms. Far away from reality.

"unnnn...why must we go through this every year?" Moaned a very tired Kagome as she walked down the street towards her friend Sango's house to pick her up to walk togehter. The only one small mercy of her life was her friends, they were her temple, they were her sanctuary from all the harm and harshnes of the world. Away from the cold cellar of her life, so she could get a glimps of the beautiful sunny daylight above, and get a taste of what it feels like to be truley happy.

Arriving at Sango's door she lightly nocked on the english oak and waited. Heavy, laboured footsteps could be heard slowly aproaching the door. With a loud creak of the hinges it opened revealing a groggy and very agrivated Sango. Bags clung to her sunken in eyes, so droopy with fatigue, her mouth was slightly ajar for she was still half asleep. Standing, staring at her waiting for the explanation of why her friend was at her door.

"What do you want, I dont want whatever you are selling" The door began to close until Kagome stopped it and looked at Sango very iritably and plainly stated.

" I am not a salesmen, and we havfe school missy so you get your ass up those stairs and get dressed while I get you breakfast" Sango pushed the door more open and lifted her arm to let Kagome through. Taking the hint she ducked under Sango's arm and headed for the kitchen which was surprrizingly alreasy inhabited my Kohaku who was very angrily munching away at his cereal. Smiling at him she got a pan and created scrambled eggs for Sango, who had very conveniently reached the bottom of the stairs as she was placing it on the table for her to eat. "Mornin" She smiled half-heartedly.

"Whats so good about it?" Sango snorted.

"I dont know really" sango chuckled

"well lemme know when you do know because I would just looove to know" Shoving another fork full of scrambled egg swimming in ketchup in her mouth, she looked at her plate and continued eating.

After arriving at school both girls were fully awake, but were not very happy about where they were at that particular moment. They spotted a familiar figure sitting under the large tree over in the far corner of the yard and headed towards it. It was Miroku, Sango's boyfriend waiting for them. Seeing the girls he waved and when they were close enough he walked over to them and stretched out his arms in a welcoming jesture towards the girls.

"Kagome, you are looking very nice today" he kissed her forhead and gave her a hug. Turning to sango his face turned to worry. "aww angel what happened, you dont look so good" sango snorted and walked over to him and wraped her heavy arms around his neck and hugged him. Wrapping his arms around her waist and letting them drop lazily with his finger entwined together just above the waist band of her jeans and resting his chin on her head. "Angel i told you dont stay up too late, now look what you have done to yourself." Sango just let out an incoherent mumble into this chest and hugged him tighter.

"Hey kaggs" Shippo walked over and greeted them happily, but was only answered with scowels. The tall hansome 15 year old had always been like a brother to the raven haired beauty, getting her back on track when she was lost, giving her his jacket when she was cold and giving her huggs when she was down or just plain needed one. "Kaggs, are you okay? You look really tired" he held his arms out to her, she walked into his warm arms, placing both hands on his pecks and leaning into him for warmpth, he just held her tight.

" She looks cold, not tired, get your emotions and feelings strait. A low familiar voice said. Looking over towards the voice was her best friend Inuyasha.

"since your hear, and you are alot taller than her you can take over Yash" Shippo gave Kagome to Inuyasha who led her over to the base of the tree and sat down, his legs spread for her to sit. Sitting down Kagome felt a fleece jacket wrap her shoulders, still soaked with his smell and warpth. Inuyasha pulled her to his chest so that her side and the left side of her head were resting on his chest and her back and legs were leaning against his legs bent at the knees.

"Feeling better now kitten?" his deep voice rumbled through his chest to hers. Kagome just nodded and snuggled in closer, feeling his arms wrap tighter around her she closed her eyes and went into their own little world in his warm embrace.

"Thanks" He smiled at her friendly gesture and rubbed her back when he felt her shiver. He had called her kitten ever since before he could remember, it was a nickname that just stuck to her after he called her that for the first time. At first she hated it, but now she took it as a show of deep cairing from this dark hoarse man that was always on the edge, on his toes, never resting. She was the only person on the face of God's green earth that could calm him when he was blind with rage. She had stopped him from personally murdering many men whom had insulted his kitten or his family. She was alway worried about him.

A loud long tone from the intercoms blasted through the yard so that all could hear, throwing everyone out of their warm thoughts of being with friends. They had an anouncement.

" Attention all Tokyo Jr. high students, they got the calendars wrong!! There is still one more weekend till school!! We can all go home!!" a very excited student council member shouted over the PA system. The whole whord of teens whooped and hollered and headed for their cars to go home. But the gang by the tree stood there bemused, shocked...whas this true.

"Hey there Yashie-baby!" a toxically sweet voice rang through all of their ears making them shudder. They all knew who that was.

"What are you doing with these freaks when you could be making-out with me behing the bleachers baby?" her voice was cold and sweet and sickening, they all began to feel queasy. Kikyo gasped " and who is this whore?!?! And why are you with these dirty people, dont you know all the things the school are saying about them. They stay up till 6 in the morning, eating dry frootloops, watching childrens cartoons! How uncool is that??" Her lemmings laughed at her clearly unfunny joke. Inuyashas eyes began to flash red, dairing her to say more, daring her to say one more vile word to him, onr more sentence of insult and profanity, didging her own grave. Kagome noticed this and began to worry, she had never seen him this mad ever since Kouga went too far in fliring with her.

" go ahead, say one more thing I dare yah" he threataned under his breath. By this time he was standing right infront of kikyo, staring her down.

"ohhhh, baby, I never knew you could be this...kinky" she ran a hand down his chest. Kagome rose to her feet and gazed at Inuyahsa's face, twisted in pure rage. Right before the snapping point, right before he hit her, Kagome grabbed the collar of his red shirt and slammed her lips against his briefly then pulled her face to his ear and began whispering sweet nothings in his ear. The red in his eyes went down and he stood stalk still straining to hear what she was saying to him. " WHA- WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!! HE'S MINE!! DONT TOUCH HIM!! YASHIE SNAP OUT OF IT SHES SUDUCING YOU!!" Kikyo was screaming at him.

" No kikyo, leave" he pulled away from Kagome for a moment and glared at her.

"what..baby"

"LEAVE" he raised his voice at her and she just humphed and walked away.

"What would I ever do without you kitten?" he asked softly, huggin her as a thanks for helping him calm down. " but wasnt that a bit extreme? the kiss and all?" she blushed at this, she never ment to kiss him but her body intinctivly did it on its own accord. 'why in the hell did I just do that?? What is wrong with me?? I kissed my own bets friend?!? I am suck a sick freak' Trying to keep her composure she atepted to speak plainly.

" I dunno" she succeeded only in embarassing herself more, for in that small two words her voice squeaked at such a level she never knew she could reach. Her forhead down to her neckline went deep crimson as she stuttered and mumbled and stumbled on her words, trying to find her voice in this mixture of embarasment and horror.

Inuyasha just chuckled ' she is so adorable when she is embarased' he thought incoherently to himself, suddenly reolizing what he had just thought he began raging a war with himself about how grose it was to be thinking about her like that. While Kagome remained tripping over her own toung over why she had kissed him.

Deciding to save them from themselves Miroku cleared his throat to get everyones attention. " Why dont we go to my place and hang out?" Sango nodded and began to head towards his car, while Kagome and Inuyasha were still gawking at eachother silently then glancing at their friends, half way to the parkinglot, they finally snapped out of their trance and bolted towards them.

That night

Kagome sat quietly on a swing in the park by herself at 9:30p.m., the street lights were on and she was totaly alone, or so she thought.

" I can't belive he is dating Kikyo" she shuddered and sighed. Hanging her head low thinking of how good she felt when he was there to comfort her and tell her it was all gonna be okay when a boyfriend dumped her when she was 14 to back when she scraped her knee from crashing on a bike when she was 6. Smiling at herself remembering how he put her heart back together after Kouga dumped her, and how he tryed to hunt him down the next day, swearing he would ' kill him for what he did' She was brought out of her thoughts when her swing began swinging by itself. No...someone had pushed it. Looking behind her she found Inuyasha smiling at her she 'humphed' and walked away and sat on the top of the kiddy slide facing the bottom, crossing her arms in anger as she glared at him as he came to sit crossleged at the bottom of the slide looking at her with concerned puppy eyes.

" whats wrong kitten?" he asked softly.

"How's it your concern Takashi?" He could tell by the tone and what she called him by that she was really mad at someone, not just anyone, him. Those problems were very very dificult to get out of her. Giving a deep sigh he waited for the answer to the question that she already knew.

" HOW CAN YOU DATE THAT POOR EXCUSE FOR A WOMAN?!?!" after 10 minutes she blurted it out. Inuyasha chuckled and shook his head.

" I waited 10 minutes, freezing my ass off for that?" Kagome gaped at him, he actually said that.

"Oh, kags, sorry, totaly wrong thing to say, sorry" he raised his hands in surrender. Kagome nodded her aproval. " Look, why don't we go to my place since its closer, you call your mom and ask for a sleepover and we can talk about this in the warm compfort of my room kay?" Kagome smiled and slid down the slide to be landing in his arms. He carried her bridal style three blocks to his house. After all the arrangements were made, she was in a pair of his boxers and t-shirt and they were in his room drinking tea.

Inuyasha had been fidgety all night and it was starthing to make her worry, so she finally got the nerve to ask him what was wrong. He just looked at her for a moment then explained on how he knew it was pathetic and all but he didn't know a flying fuck on how to kiss or touch a girl properly wtihout getting smacked. He didn't know anything about intimacy, he had never kissed a girl. Kagome gaped at him. He had never kissed a girl?? She laughed and explained on how she thought it was adorable.

" I will teach you then" Kagome smiled.

"wh-what!!??" inuyasha was in a daze, his best friend kagome was gonna teach him how to kiss? This oughta be entertaining.
