Chapter 1: Angel!
The Wedding had been beautiful and everyone agreed that it was a fine match. The bride and groom were overjoyed to have found love again. But, it was now 5:00 in the afternoon on a perfect summers day in Los Angeles and.......
IT WAS TIME TO PARTY!!!
The DJ had the place jammin and and many people could be found enjoying themselves on the dance floor that had been set up in the very large backyard. Some of the children ran around playing games and such.
"Kagome! Kagome!" A little five year old Kagome dressed in a white flower girl dress with raven-black tresses and dancing crystal saphire eyes turned around at the sound of her name.
Another little girl dressed in the same outfit with straight jet black hair and stormy gray eyes ran up to her with a big smile. " Oh. Hi Kikyo!" Kagome replied to her new step-sister cheerfully, " whatcha doin?"
"Hey Kagome, do you want to help me round up the other kids so we can play a big game of Super Tag?" Kagome's face lit up with a sparkling smile as she replied " Oh Yeah! Sure!" Bursting with happiness Kikyo replied " Ok Great! you go that way and I'll go this way. Whoever wants to play just tell them to go to The Big Tree Ok?" "Ok!" She replied joyfully. Meanwhile....
A certain seven year old Hanyou was sitting at his families table bored to death. " Inuyasha." Inuyasha turned to look at his Mother on his right. "What?" he responded in annoyance. " If you are so bored," she said " why don't you go find Miroku or Kouga to play?" At this Inuyasha just "feh'd" and looked to his left. As he did his beautiful amber eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed in awe "Wow!"
His mother turned to see what had caused that kind of reaction to come from her son. She followed his gaze to the little girl Kikyo, whose family was their backyard neighbors, and her new little step-sister Kagome who would finish moving in the next day. She couldn't help but think how alike and yet unalike the two of them looked.
Leaning over gently next to her son she whispered, "what is it Inuyasha?" Inuyasha, keeping his gaze fixed upon the little girl in the white dress, said "Who..who is that mom? That..that little girl angel thats talking to Kikyo?" Kimi ,chuckling a little at her son's innocence, replied "thats Kagome Inuyasha. She's Kikyo's new step-sister. Her and her father are our new neighbors." Inuyasha turned and looked at his mother with wide amber eyes before whipping his head back around towards Kagome and watched her as Kikyo walked away and Kagome bumped into two other little girls as he whispered her name " Kagome."
As Kikyou walked away in the dirction she had come from Kagome turned to go opposite the way and bumped into two other little girls. One had beautiful black hair with warm and bright chocolate brown eyes and was wearing a small pink dress. The other had redish-orange hair which was pulled into two adorable little pony tails atop her head with stunning green eyes and a little green dress to match.
"Oh!" Kagome exclaimed, "I'm sorry I didn't see you." The two girls just smiled at her and the black haired one said, "thats ok my name is Sango." "And I'm Ayame," the boistours litte red-head piped in, " whats yours?" "My name is Kagome," she replied excitedly, "hey do you guys wana play super tag?" "Sure" they both replied at once in innocent child like excitment. "Ok then just go to duh big tree and wait till we start!" Kagome instructed happily. "Ok, come on Sango let go tell Miroku and Kouga too!" Ayame squealed.
Sango nodded at her friend and then reached her hand out to Kagome, "come on Kagome, you can come with us and meet them!" Kagome reached out and took her new friends hand. "Ok, lets go!" And with that the three new friends took off in search of the little boys, but not before Kagome noticed another little boy with long sliver hair and big, beautiful golden amber eyes staring at her.
At least she hoped he was a boy. She wasn't quite sure because of two triangular, furry dog ears that twiched this way and that. They had to be the cutest things she had ever seen. She hadn't even realized she had stopped until she felt Sango tugging on her hand. "Hey Kagome, come on lets go!" Sango exclaimed. Kagome looked to her new friend and smiled. "Oh, I'm sorry." She glanced back at the boy and gave him a dazzeling smile that made her seem to glow before she headed off with her new friends.
Inuyasha looked on as Kagome met Sango and Ayame. He knew both of them from around the neighborhood. Him, Miroku, Kouga and those two girls had always been friends ever since before Inuyasha could even remember. With his hyper-sensative hearing he heard the little angel Kagome recruit Sango and Ayame for an apparently big game of tag. He was so entranced with watching and listening to Kagome's musical voice that he didn't even here his mother say she was going to go dance with his father.
"Whats wrong with him Kimi?" his father inquired, a little worried by his son's behavior. "Oh he's fine don't worry about him," his mother replied with a secretive smile, " he's just a bit... distracted." InuTaisho knew his wife and gave her an inquiring look. Kimi just chuckled and gave her husband a soft kiss. Pulling back she whispered, "come on I'll explain it to you over a dance." Never being one to deny the love of his life InuTaisho lead his wife on to the dance floor.
As his parents left Inuyahsa thought to himself, 'hmmm tag? That... that sound like fun! Maybe I can ask if I-Uh Oh! She saw me! Oh no she caught me staring at her, what am I ...go..ing... to HUH? She smiled at me?! Whoa she really does look like an angel when she does that!' He watched her walk away with Sango and Ayame off in search of his other two friends Miroku and Koga. Inu looked down at his hands, his bangs hiding his eyes. Suddenly he looked up with a huge smile playing on his face and his amber eyes danceing. He hopped off his chair and speed away with glee, his destination in mind.
About fifteen miutes later a grand total of 9 kids had gathered at the Goshinboku ( Or the "big tree" to the little kids) for the fabulous game of Super Tag! Kagome had shown up with Sango, Ayame, Miroku and Kouga, while Kikyo had recruited Hojo, Kanna, and Yura. Little Kikyo happily introduced her new step-sister to everyone and then.....the Fun started!
Kikyo was it and everyone else had to hide. When she found someone they had to run and so on until she found everyone and they were all running around. "Ok you guys!" Kikyo shouted to get their attention, "I am going to hide my eyes and count to a hundred." Sango leaned over to whisper in Kagome's ear, "Hey Kagome, you better hide good because Kikyo is reeaallly GOOD at this game!" Kagome turned her head to the left to answer Sango but paused as she caught a flash of something silver amoung the green leaves of the bushes near the fence. She blinked and it was gone, but that didn't matter.
What mattered was she had seen something and she was going to find out what it was. She looked straight at Sango and said, "Oh don't worry Sango. Kikyo might be a good seeker," she spoke in a whisper. "Ok everybody ready..." Kikyo shouted from her position next to the tree, Kagome continued, "but I'm a very good hider!" "GO!" And with that all the kids shot off in different directions searching for the perfect hiding place while Kikyo counted, but Kagome already knew where to hide.
Inuyasha ran towards the fence where the bushes could be found while he prayed he wouldn't be seen. He was finally emerging from the crowded dance floor he had used to remain hidden from view. He wanted to see the little angel, but he didn't want her to see him. As he burst from the crowd he caught sight of his friends walking towards the big tree and Kagome was with them. They were all talking happily as if they had known one another for forever. He wasn't sure who, but someone made Kagome laugh. Inuyasha almost stopped dead in his tracks at the sound that flowed from her mouth.
It was beautiful and it wouldn't be until he was older that he would think of her voice as pure and glorious....music, to his ears. As they neared the tree Inuyasha shook himself from his daze and renewed his course with determination. He had to reach the bushes before they reached the tree, turned around and spotted him. Just as all the kids reached the tree Inuyasha dove into the bushes and moved to a spot by the tree where he could see and hear everything, but he wouldn't be seen.
Only if someone were to look in just the right spot would they be able to catch a glimpse of his silvery white hair. The likeliness of someone actually finding that spot was slim to none, so our favorite little hanyou wasn't worried in the least, but maybe he should have been. As he peared through the bushed he heard Kikyo introducing Kagome and preparing to start the game. Inuyasha kept his eyes on the ' little angel ' the entire time.
But when Kikyo called the start of the game and all the kids ran off in different directons he lost sight of Kagome. When the kids had cleared she was nowhere to be seen. Inuyasha was so caught up in trying to figure out where she gone he didn't even notice when someone came and joined him in the bushes.
Now Kagome may have only been 5yrs old, but she was special. Not only was she a miko with holy powers that she would one day know how to control and kick but with, but she was also on of those very articulate, open and friendly little girls that when you talked to her came off as way to intelligent for five years old. She didn't know what she had seen in the bushes, but she had a feeling that whatever it was she had seen she was probably going to have to sneek up on it.
As Kikyo's shout of "GO!" rang through the air she moved quickly so that whatever was in the bushes would lose sight of her when everyone was running around. Kagome ended up next to an opening in the bushes futher down from the tree, getting down on her hands and knees and crawling into the bushes, dissappearing from sight.
Once Kagome emerged on the other side she found herself on a little path that was formed between the fence and the row of bushes. She looked around for the mysterious silver that she spotted earlier and found alot more than just a flash of silver to her left. In fact it was a whole head of gorgeous, long silver hair with a very familier pair of adorable ears resting on the top of that head. 'hey' she thought to herself 'it's that boy from before. The one with the pretty eyes and the cute little dog ears. I wonder what he is doin in the bushes!'
He had his back turned towards her, his hair swaying back and forth as his head shifted from side to side, 'like he's looking for something,' Kagome thought 'or someone!' She wondered, ' is he looking for me?!' She just smiled at that and thought 'Well, I guess I found him first.' Not wanting to risk Kikyo finding her Kagome crawled on her hands and knees until a now much dirtier Kagome was right behind this strange boy. As little Kagome reached out her hand to tap the boy on the sholder and alert him to her presence she looked up and spotted those ears again.
Those cute little dog ears that were just too adorable for words as they twiched and moved in different directions. Listening and taking in more sounds than humans could ever hope to hear. Kagome became entranced in watching those ears. She brought her hand back and rested it on the ground, her eyes never leaving those little triangles of soft fur. Before Kagome could stop herself she giggled out of pure delight and at how cute those ears were.
These same ears immediatly swivled towards Kagome at the sound of her voice. Although he had only heard it once before Inuyasha recognized that melodic voice. He whipped around and shocked amber eyes lock with sparkling, laughing saphire ones for the second of many times to come. Kagomes giggled cut off as she got her first good look into this boy's face. It was a meeting of two souls unlike any other.
Inuyasha couldn't help but think how she looked even more like an angel up close despit that smudge of dirt on her right cheek and slightly tossled hair. Kagome was in awe of his beautiful, bright and deep amber eyes with little flecks of gold in them. 'WOW' she thought to herself, 'they are so pretty!' Yet once again her thoughts and eyes drifted back up to those oh-so-irresistable ears resting atop that nest of beautiful and glossy silver hair. That was it she couldn't take it anymore. Before either of them knew what had happened both of her hands were heading for the top of his head.
Inuyasha was still in such shock that the ' little angel ' was there that he hadn't even realized that she had moved until he felt little hands stroking his sensative ears so tenderly that he jumped in surprise at the contact. This surprised Kagome into retracting her hands from his ears and jerking both of them from their dazed state. Kagome was of course the first to break the silence.
"Hi!" she greeted with a bright smile and big innocent eyes. "My name is Kagome Higurashi, but you can call me Kagome if you want." She only paused for a breath before continuing," my Daddy just gots married to Kikyo's Mommy. So what's your name? I saw you sitting at a table earlier did you see me?" Inuyasha couldn't help but think, 'Jeeze this girl sure does talk alot! No wonder she gets along with Sango and Ayame.' When he realized she was still waiting for an answer he shook his head a little to clear it and responded, " I'm Inuyasha Kaimori. Call me Inuyasha and yeah I saw you earlier, but you sure do talk alot." He tired to scowl and look tough, but at seven years old our little hanyou hadn't quite perfected his scowl just yet and so he ended up looking half confused half pouting. Almost as if he couldn't make up his mind.
It was enough to send Kagome into a fit of barely suppressed giggles as his ears twiched in agitation. "Hey whats so funny?!" Little Inu inquired heatedly. He did NOT like being laughed at. "It's" (gasp) it's (gasp) Your ears!" Kagome finally managed to get out as her giggles began to die down. She then looked him right in the eyes and smiled her stunning smile. This, of course made Inuyasha even more nervous and so he got defensive.
"Wh-what about my ears? HUH?" the little hanyou demanded angrily with a frown on his lips and a bit of sadness in his beautiful eyes. Kagome, noticing this, scooted forward on her knees closer to Inuyasha with a worried look about her as she hastily replied, "Oh it's nothin bad. I didn't mean that it's...it's.." at this Kagome lowered her eyes to her lap with a look of embarassment. At this Inuyasha leaned back a bit and raised and eyebrow when Kagome continued quietly
"it's just that they're so cute," Her eyes drifing back up to his ears, "and they look so soft."Inuyasha, now with a bright blush on his cheeks, suddenly found his hands very interesting. Of course this involved him bowing his head, whichc gave our little Kagome a wornderful view and complete access to the fuzzy appendages.
Now she really couldn't pass up this opportunity and in a flash was once again gently stroking those soft and furry little ears. Not expecting the contact Inuyasha was a bit surprised, but that didn't mean that it didn't feel good. Inuyasha soon found himself leaning into her touch and purring softly.
Hearing this kagome continued her gentle stoking until her fingers grew tired, which for a 5yr old wasn't very long. Kagome reluctantly retractecd her hands and lowered them to her lap. Inuyasha looked up as he felt her delicate little fingers leave his head.
"I'm sorry," she said, "I should have asked first." Inuyasha, not likeing the sad look on the angel's face one bit immediately said, "Oh n-no, it's alright, I liked it." Kagome raised her head at this to look at him as he continued, "It felt p-pretty good. You could do it again whenever you want if you like." Inuyahsa was happy and smiled as the little angel's face lit up again. Her sparkling crystal saphire eyes shining with joy and the same angelic smile playing on her lips.
By now the sun had set and the fire flies were out out, glowing and danceing casting a spell of love and beauty upon those in the backyard. Most of children were running around the yard right now. Laughing and screaming in a good natured game of tag that had long been forgotten by the two small children hidden in the bushes. Well, maybe not that well hidden, seeing as Inuyasha's mother and father had noticed the two talking animatedly.
Just sitting there talking about anything and everything yet at the same time forgeing a friendship unlike any other. Inutaisho, for one, was qutie surprised at how quickly his youngest son had befriended the little girl. But from what his wife had told him and what he himself was watching Inutaisho realized that this little Kagome could very well end up being the closest friend his son would ever grow to have. Inutaisho had to admit he very much liked the aura that surrounded the little miko.
"You see Taisho," Kimi whispered into her husband's ear as they both gazed upon the little ones. Both of whom were off in their own little world, just bonding with every second that passed. "I told you she was a special one." Kimi finished. Inutaisho turned to his wife a very confident smirk (A/n: Hmmm... Sounds familiar. HE HE HE), "you mean like you?" Kimi, with a pink tint to her cheeks playfully smacked her loves arm while smileing back at him. InuTaisho just used his grip on his beloved's hand to pull her against him. "Come on," he said,"Lets leave them be. We can come back and take him home later." His Kimi just nodded in agreement and walked with her husband, hand in hand, back to the dance floor
Inuyasha & Kagome continued their conversation during which they had become fast friends. Inuyasha now had a very dark pruple necklace which had "really awesome" white teeth on it every 5 beads. It had been Kagome's mothers and she'd given it to Inuyasha. In turn Inuyasha had given Kagome a beautiful, yet simple necklace from which hung a "very pretty" pale pink jewel. Inuyasha mother had also given it to him and told him that he should only give it to someone very special. Inuyasha happened to think that Kagome was very VERY special, but of course he didn't tell her any of this. He just let her think of the exchange as a sign of friendship.
It wasn't too long until many of the children who had been playing tag became tired and went to go sit down until their parents decided it was time to go. Most of them falling alseep in their chairs. The same went for our pair in the bushes as they to grew sleepy. "Inuyasha." Kagome yawned while rubbing her eyes. "yeah" he yawned in reply. "I'm sleepy." Kagome stated as she laid down. "Me too," Inuyahsa replied joining Kagome on the soft grassy ground.
As Kagome's eyes began to drift shut Inuyasha suddenly whispered, "Hey Kagome?", "Yeah" she yawned back. "If I go to sleep will you still be there when I wake up? you won't get up and leave will you?" the young hanyou inquired. He recalled times when he would fall asleep with his mother, but would then wake up in the middle of the night in his own bed, alone. He didn't like it.
"O course not Inuyasha," Kagome replied sleepily as hers eyes started to close again, "your my friend. I'll always be therefor you. I promise." Inuyasha smiled sleepily as he laid his head down and said, "Me too Kagome. I promise to always be ther for you to."
And with that they both drifted of into the land of dreams.
Later that evening, the party was finally winding down. Inuyasha's parents along Kagome's father and new step-mother found their children curled up with each other in a blissful, peaceful sleep. Each of them with a thumb in their mouth while their other hands were losely joined. It was too much of a Kodak moment to pass up, so naturally they had to take a picture. The two slept through everything peacefully.
It was only when Inu's mother and Kagome's father (her step-mom held a slumbering Kikyo) lifted them off the gound and seperated them did they both awake with a start. Each calling the others name. "Kagome!" "Inuyasha!". They looked to each other, both seeing the other was being held by a parent and relaxed. Inuyasha said, "Hey you kept your promise. You were still here wh-wh-when" he yawned, "I woke up. Kagome just smiled and said, "O corse I did silly. I'd never break a pro-mise," she yawned, "to my friend." The two set's of parents smiled at the exchange and each other before proper introductons were made. Seeing as they going to be neighbors and their children had obviously bonded.
"Hey Kagome do you wana play again tomorrow ?" Inuyasha asked sleepily while the parents conversed. "Yeah, sure." she replied just as sleepily already drifting off to sleep again. "O'tay. See you tomorrow. G'nite Kagome." "G'nite Yasha." she replied as they went back to sleep.
That night was the beginning of everything!
