A/N Second attempt at writting a story not really sure where it is going to go but I got it stuck in my head so I thought I'd try it out.
None of the characters belong to me. Characters are not like the original they are portrayed different. The story is set in the present time but there are still demons and half demons around.
Unexpected Destinies
Chapter One Shocking Introduction
A crisp breeze blew her midnight silky hair across her face causing her to pause for a moment. She didn't know what it was but the way the air moved around her sent
chills up her spine. Kagome never liked walking home in the early hours of the morning but work had kept her late and before she knew she was walking the dark
streets at 2am in the morning. She cursed herself for not paying more attention to the time and leaving earlier. The sound of hushed footsteps crept into her thoughts
and she tensed, not wanting to look back to see if her mind was just playing tricks on her she made note to just quicken her pace and get home. Wrapping her arms
around her as another breeze flew past her she noticed that the once hushed footsteps had now gotten louder and seemed to be closer. Panic crossed her face and
she slowly looked over her shoulder, she sighed and shook her head when she saw that there was no one to been seen. "You're losing it Kagome" she thought to
herself as she turned back and continued walking down the street. She reached the end of the street and turned the corner relaxing a little as her apartment building
came into view. The raven haired woman looked up and down the street making sure there wasn't anyone around before crossing "of course there's no one around
stupid it's 2am in the morning everyone is still sleeping" she thought as she shook her head at herself. Relief washed over her as she reached the doors to her building
pulling her keys out of her bag to open the door. "It's a bit late for a pretty woman like you to be out all by yourself isn't it?" a masculine voice asked. Hearing the voice
startled Kagome causing her to jump and drop her keys. Quickly bending down and picking them up she slowly turned around to see who had just spoken to her only
to notice that she was looking at a muscular chest. Taking a small step back towards her door she raised her gaze to meet the man's eyes. A smirk on his face was the
first thing she noticed. "Did I scare you?" his voice was laced with amusement. Kagome's stare hardened at the unknown man. "What type of question is that? Of course
you scared me" she yelled at him. His smirk widened at her reaction to his question which only made Kagome even more furious. "What do you want? Or do you just get
your joy in life from scaring woman that aren't expecting you?" she pushed back at him. He raised an eyebrow while looking down at the shorter petite woman standing
in front of him. "She doesn't even know me I could be here to murder her for all she knows and yet here she is standing up to me" the unknown man stood there amazed
as this thought crossed his mind. Noticing that she hadn't received an answer but was merely being stared at with amazement by the man she spoke up again "Well
what is it? What do you want? Surely you didn't sneak up on me to just to stare at me like you are" He shook his head clearing his thoughts before answering the woman
that he didn't even know yet somehow seemed to intrigue him and make him want to know more about her. Clearing his throat he responded "I don't want anything I
was simply stating the fact that isn't it a bit late for you to be out all alone" Kagome's eyes narrowed at him not quiet believing that this was the only reason. Taking in a
better look of the strange acting man she noticed that he had the rarest colour hair, it was shiny silver and he had two dog ears that sat at the top of his head. She
tensed realising that he was a hanyou and that he was more dangerous than a normal stranger. Noticing her taking in his appearance and tensing as soon as her
eyes rested on his ears he sighed. "I'm not going to hurt you just because I'm a half demon" Kagome's eyes widened before quickly looking away. Realising the hanyou
wasn't going to be leaving her alone anytime soon she decided to ask "Who are you anyway?" He chuckled to himself before responding "My name is Inuyasha
Takahashi, what's yours?" Staring at him for a while she decided that he already knew where she lived so it wouldn't matter if she told him her real name. "My name is
Kagome Higurashi" Smirking at the woman he now knew to be Kagome Higurashi he said "Nice to meet you." Shaking her head at him she said "Yeah well it would have
been a whole lot nicer if I hadn't met you by you scaring me at 2am in the morning" Inuyasha chuckled "Well it's not my fault you scare so easy I was only trying to make
sure that you were alright" Kagome glared at him "trying to make sure that I was alright? Are you kidding me? Who is sneaking up on a woman that you don't know at all and
scaring her making sure she's alright?" He laughed again "alright calm down it wasn't my intention to scare you even though I did" Kagome huffed "intention or not you still
shouldn't be sneaking up on woman in the middle of the night" "Well technically it's early in the morning" Inuyasha stated in a matter of fact tone. The raven haired woman
rolled her eyes at him "oh whatever whether it's the middle of the night or early in the morning is beside the point" Raising an eyebrow he questioned her "oh really and
why is that?" Throwing her hands up in the air in an exasperated manner she said "because it doesn't really matter what time of the day or night I said the point still
remains that you shouldn't be sneaking up on woman" The silver haired hanyou shrugged his shoulders "whatever you say although I wasn't sneaking up on you I was
just passing by" Kagome placed her hands on her hips and stared hard at him. "damn she has a good figure" He thought to himself "wait.. did I really just think that?
What is it about this woman" "Well why didn't you just keep on walking instead of stopping and talking to me?" Kagome's words faded into Inuyasha's conscious as he
shook his head to clear his previous thoughts away. "uh well.. why shouldn't I stop and talk to a woman that's out at this time? For all I knew you could have needed help"
A blank expression crossed Kagome's face "Yeah whatever Inuyasha and as 'fun' as this conversation has been I'm going inside now so you can go" He looked at her with a
shocked expression "is she really just going to go inside and close the door in my face" he thought to himself. He cleared his throat "is that really all? You're just going to go
inside and act like you didn't just meet me?" Kagome looked at him with a confused expression "what did he think I was going to do? Say thanks for scaring me even though
you were just checking if I needed help here's my number" she thought to herself. Inuyasha watched Kagome as he waited for an answer "well are you going to answer
me Kagome?" The raven haired girl shook her head to clear her thoughts "well of course that's it what did you think I was going to do?" "That's a good question what did I
think I was going to get out of this?" he thought to himself. "Well you haven't exactly acted the way other young woman would act if they were approached by a stranger so I
didn't know what to expect". Kagome's head snapped up "what is that supposed to mean?" A smirk crossed Inuyasha's face "well normally if a stranger walked up to a
young woman and started talking to them they would get all tense and try and get away. You on the other hand have been completely calm the whole time" The raven haired
woman rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah well woman like that are normally the ones that get attacked". He nodded "that is true". Kagome looked him in the eyes "well now
that we have figured that out I'm going inside whether it's what you expected or not" His smirk widened as he watched her turn and turn her key in the door "can we catch
up sometime and have a normal conversation?" he asked just as she went to push on the door. Kagome turned around to look at the hanyou again "well knowing my
luck I'd run into you again anyway" "Is that a yes then?" He asked with a surprised hopeful tone hidden beneath his words. She shook her head at him "no it means that
even though I am saying no to you I'm sure that somehow we will be running into each other again" she stepped through her doorway and closed the door looking at a
very confused Inuyasha. The silver haired hanyou stood there for a minute half expecting that she would come back but she didn't. As he walked away from Kagome's
building the only thing he could think was "What did she mean by we will probably run into each other again?" and with that thought he couldn't shake the feeling of
wanting her to be correct.
