Chapter 1: Restaurant Encounter
In the city of Tokyo, 18 year old Kagome Higurashi is one of those people who wants to find someone to love, but it turns out it's easier said than done. Even though in High School she dated Hojo, but it didn't last long though, just a mere half a year. Right now, a senior in Tokyo University, close to graduating for a degree of Human Sources, and just passed her exams. Right now she's working as a waitress in a fancy restaurant just a few blocks from both her apartment and her school.
Then one day, during a meeting of a business company, one of the workers, 21 year old Inuyasha Takahashi catches his eyes on Kagome, who is one of the few waitresses and waiters serving their meals. Kagome comes to him, and sets his plate in front of him. "There you go sir." She said politely and little bit shy to him. Inuyasha smiles back to her, "Thank you, miss…" He tries to finish his gratitude to her, but she finishes it for him, "It's Kagome." She tells him. "And you're welcome." She leaves him alone so he can have his meal with his follow employee.
Back in the Kitchen, Kagome gathers her next order for another costumer in the Restaurant. Her friend, Sango comes to her. "It seems you like the man with the silver hair and cute little dog ears." She whispered to her. Kagome's cheeks begin to blush. "Yeah, that proved that I've a crush on him." She admits to Sango. She smirks to her back, "But what about you? It seems you have a liking to the man next to him." It was Sango's cheeks to turn red. "A ha I knew it." Kagome grins as she gets a plate of another meal for the customer, "Gotta serve." She ends as she goods through the door and heads to other table.
Inuyasha is slowly eating his meal. A male with his black hair in a short ponytail with his one ear pierced leans up next to him, "So that waitress is the best there is." He comments her performance to Inuyasha. Inuyasha shakes his head, "I was just admiring her looks, Miroku." He corrects him. Miroku chuckles, "Oh sure don't believe me. But I have my eyes on the hot chick with the pink eye liner, that goes well with her chestnut eyes." Inuyasha grins at him, "Oh so I'm not the only one around here with a crush on a waitress." Miroku hums trying to be innocent. Inuyasha however isn't buying it, with grin growing. "Face it, buddy. You'll have to go up to her, and introduce yourself to her." Miroku gives up, but grins back. "I shouldn't be the only one to ask her out." Inuyasha blushes, but when Kagome exits the kitchen, she head straight to the customer. Inuyasha watches her as she sets the meal in front of another man with his black hair in a ponytail, with a pair of blue icy eyes. Miroku recognizes him. "That's Koga Wolfe, he's one of those multi-millionaires. But I know his dark reputation." Miroku advices Inuyasha with a bit of awareness. Inuyasha nods and resumes his meal.
19 year old Sango comes out with a meal, and approaches 22 year old Miroku. "Inuyasha that's the chick I was talking about." Inuyasha elbows him, "Well go ask her." He encourages him. Sango comes up to him, "Here you go sir." She politely said to him. "I just want to ask you something miss." Miroku quickly asks her. Sango blushes a little, "Yes what is it?" She replies. "I must ask you to go on a date with me." Sango smiles to him. "I'd like that…" She could say his name even though he didn't introduced himself to her. "I'm Miroku Hoshi." He gestures his hand to her. Sango shakes it, "Sango Taijiya." She replies with a shy smile. "How about tomorrow night at this restaurant just downtown." He offers the place to her. "I wanted to go there, but it's just too expensive to have dinner there." She sadly answers to him. Miroku chuckles at her. "No need to worry. It'll be all on me." He assures her. Sango blushes for that. "Okay, I'll see you then." She finishes and resumes her working.
When she enters the kitchen Miroku leans back, "Done and done. Now it's your turn." Inuyasha looks around the place, hoping to find Kagome. He looks towards the table where she waited Koga, but she wasn't there, and neither was Koga. "What is it, Inuyasha?" Miroku asks him worryingly. Inuyasha sniffs the area, hoping to find her lavender scent. "I can't find her anywhere. She's not even in the kitchen." He said to him and gets out of his seat. "Where are you going?" Miroku asks him. Inuyasha glares slightly. "What else, I'm going to find her." He then leaves the restaurant.
Inuyasha comes outside, seeing a lot of people around him, he tries his best trying to find Kagome. A slight clue leads him to the back alleyway; he runs as fast he can to follow the scent. He turns a corner to catch Koga about to attack Kagome with a knife. Inuyasha charges at full speed, and grabs Kagome just in the nick of time before Koga's knife was in contact of Kagome's body. "Takahashi, you always interfere with my plans. You just took my woman. You'll pay for that." Koga shouts at him. Inuyasha gets in front of Kagome. "I've heard about you. You maybe a multi-millionaire, but inside you're reputation, is raping." Koga twitches his eyes. "That's just a rumor." He said back to him. Inuyasha flexes his claws, "Rumor or not, I can tell that you're a liar as well." He informs him. "How can you tell?" Koga panics knowing him, he's in trouble. Inuyasha smirks, "If someone lies, their heart beats faster than usual, and they hesitate of what they try to cover. Face it Koga, I'm technically a lie detector." He sounded confidently to the wolf. Koga steps back and runs out with his tail literally between his legs.
Kagome comes to Inuyasha from behind. "Um thanks for saving me." She said to him. Inuyasha turns to her. "Don't mention it. I know him." He responds to her. Kagome was about to back to the door to the kitchen of the restaurant, but Inuyasha grabs her wrist. Kagome looks to him confused. "I was going to ask you something." He said to her straight to her eyes. "What would that be?" She asks to him back. Inuyasha grabs her other wrist, "I was hoping if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow night?" Kagome blushes, "I'd would be honored to accept your request, Mr. Takahashi." She answers. Inuyasha smiles, "That first name is Inuyasha." He introduces to her. "Would you like a ride home?" He offers her as well. Kagome checks her watch seeing it's close to closing time for the restaurant for the night. "Sure, I'd like that." She answers his other question. Inuyasha gestures her to follow him to his vehicle.
