Chapter 1: Shop Girl

The fierce gust of wind blew by the people as the subway went by, making them stagger a few feet behind them. As if in realization that had meant that the train had arrive, a sudden crowd of people rushed on to the long metal train, selfishly pushing each other, hoping to get a proper seat. The young woman of 21 stepped on the subway and made her way over to the only unoccupied seat on the train, which was seated beside a rather grumpy looking half demon.
Smoothing her green skirt after sitting down, Kagome turned her head towards her neighbor and gave him an amused grin. He was wearing a black team sweater, which had something written on the arm. Kagome glanced at it interestingly to see that it said, 'Inuyasha.' He was quite cute she had to say, with amber eyes, and long silver hair that would have looked bad on anyone but him. But the one thing that got her attention the most was two small furry appendages sticking out of the top of his head, which she soon recognized were ears.
Snapping his tanned face in her direction he gave her an irritated gaze.
"Hi." Kagome spoke friendly up to him.
His gaze narrowed. "What do you want?" he grunted, crossing his arms and looking away from her. He felt her give a lazy shrug and look away.
"I like your ears." she announced, stating as if it were obvious.
"Feh" The 24 year-old man peaked at the girl beside him from the corner of his eye. Her midnight blue hair ran down her back and shoulders, ending at her waist. Her wide dark brown eyes concentrated on something in her hands, which to Inuyasha looked to be a book. Curiosity getting the better of him, he tilted his head down to glance under the book.
It read…The Notebook. Now, Inuyasha wasn't always open about being a big romance novel fan when it came to reading them, but he loved to write them, ever since his mother used to read him her romance novels as a child he was always captivated by the way the author could put so much depth into the understanding of an intimate relationship. He had longed to one-day find a romance like that in the novels, but who could ever love a lowly half demon like himself.
"Curiosity killed the cat you know." she teased, watching him trying to peak under book.
Inuyasha quickly shot back up to his original position with a light pink tint on his face. Perhaps he had dawdled there for bit to long. Not being able to come up with a good response, he blurted the first thing that came to mind. "What do you know about curiosity and cats?" Oh smooth, very smooth, your not going to impress her now…no…wait….impress her?…feh…
"What?" she pouted playfully. "Can't a simple romance novel reader know a thing or two about curious cats?"
Inuyasha smirked at her response. This girl had some spirit. Opening his mouth to say something else to the woman, he was suddenly cut off by the speakers in the train.
'We have now arrived at Tama station.' The train started to slow down. 'If you are going downtown please go to level one, if you are going to the water front please go to level 2. Thank you for taking the Tokyo Express, we hope you have a nice day.' The train came to a complete halt and a catchy ding rang as the doors opened.
Inuyasha and Kagome stepped off the train and faced one another.
Kagome put a happy grin on her face and held out her hand. "It was nice meeting you, maybe we'll run into each other again."
He shook her hand and gave a small goodbye before watching her skip off towards the escalator. Turning around he walked the opposite way kicking an abandoned bottle that lay on the floor. He smiled slightly to himself.
'Maybe we will.'

Hopping up the last two steps, Kagome pushed open the door to the bookshop, hearing the familiar bells ring as she did so. She worked at this bookshop part time, which she enjoyed most whole heartedly for not only did her best friend, Sango work there, she got all the new romance novels half off. That was probably a good thing since she had probably read every romance novel at the library twice already. Everybody knew that she was a hopeless romantic on the campus at the college she attended, almost to the point where everybody called her Juliet.
She really was a good romance writer, but not in novels, in plays. It was her dream to one day become a professional movie and play director.
"Hey, Kagome!" The female voice, which came from Sango, called from behind a bookshelf, eyes just barely being able to peer over the top.
After Kagome's name was said another person, who was called Keade suddenly stood up from behind the counter startling, Kagome. Keade was the elderly woman that ran the book store, hence the name. Kagome had decided she was always very energetic for her age.
"Guess what?" the woman cheered. She pulled out a crisp, very new looking book and tossed it to Kagome. She recognized before she even caught.
"Oh my god! It came!" she cried happily as she glanced at the new copy of 'Almost a Lady.' Dancing around gleefully in circles, she let out more excited scream and set the book on the counter, glancing at it fondly before heading off to help put books on shelf's.
Oh how she couldn't wait to get home.
