The Story
Chapter One
Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning is generally obvious to us. It starts with a smile, or a "hello," or even a laugh. The middle can never be judged until the end. The end is generally ever expected and never foreseen, except by the one that ends it. This is my story, from the beginning.
Kagome woke up and leapt to the window. She pulled back the curtains and stared outside. The whole world, at least outside her window, was covered in a fluffy white powder. She squealed happily and pulled out her iPhone to check the online school website. Kagome jumped back into bed and pulled her covers up over her head. The website said school was closed today or inclement weather. So Kagome curled back up and fell back asleep.
Kagome woke up about three hours later. It was nine in the morning and she decided she should take a shower. As she bathed she thought about the strange winter storm that had swept through her normally hot, even in winter, hometown.
Her family had moved to the United States when she was still a baby. She had lived her whole life in Dallas, Texas, one of the major trading capitals. Her father and mother had divorced years ago.
Her father was unfaithful and Kagome was not really a fan of her stepmother. Kagome loved her father dearly, but no longer visited his house because of Tsubaki, the step-monster. When Kagome's parents divorced, her grandfather came to live with them to help Korari, Kagome's mother, take care of her two children. Souta was sixteen now. Kagome could hardly believe it. She herself was turning eighteen in a few short months. Her life had changed so much since she was a child. She almost couldn't believe everything that was happening.
As Kagome's musings came to an end she got out of the shower, dried off and threw on some old sweatpants and an old sweatshirt. She checked her phone again, and sure enough, there were text messages from Hojou. She didn't understand why he couldn't just leave her alone. She politely responded in a way that would hopefully, end the conversation. It didn't. So, she left her phone in her room and went out to the game room to watch TV.
Her family is not by any means wealthy but aren't dirt poor either. They survived and that was as good as it was for them. Kagome attended Shikon Preparatory School and Souta attended Sengoku High School. Both of them thought it was very strange to have Japanese named schools but whatever.
Kagome settled in to watch Glee and Bad Girls Club, her guilty pleasure. She would never be able to get over how hilarious it was that grown women could act like such children. Kagome passed the day catching up on her TiVoed TV shows. Souta was on the phone with Kimiko, his on again off again girlfriend.
As night fell Souta left for karate and Korari arrived home to find her daughter ready for their weekly dinner at The Cheesecake Factory for potato soup and vanilla bean cheesecake. Korari got ready and they both stepped outside to face the weather.
Korari turned on the car and drove to the restaurant, however when they arrived they found it was closed because of a blackout. Kagome suggested eating at Chili's which was just up the road instead. Her mother agreed and drove there. When they arrived they found there were not too many others who had decided to brave the cold weather like they had. As they were seated they spoke about their days and what was happening in their lives.
Their waiter came and introduced himself as Inuyasha. Kagome and Korari smiled up at him. Korari recognized him, she said, "Inuyasha, we've had you before." He smiled a little and nodded. Kagome smiled and said, "I remember you from Christmas Eve. You were going to see your family." He nodded. Korari smiled and Kagome and Korari ordered their drinks.
As he walked away the two women began talking and Kagome did not notice anything strange. As Inuyasha brought back their drinks he answered all the questions Korari threw at him.
Kagome and Korari were extremely friendly people. They constantly made friends with their waiters and with people who worked in stores because they enjoyed new people. Today was no different. They befriended Inuyasha.
Korari found out that Inuyasha is a Farrier, he puts horseshoes on horses. Korari loves the country desperately and liked that he was a good boy. She continued to learn things about him and kept their conversations going.
They learnt that although his family had money he had wanted to try making it on his own to learn the value of work. Korari admired this. She thought, 'This boy is so sweet. I wonder if he and Kagome would work.'
Kagome carried on eating and the next time Inuyasha came to the table Korari said, "Well we've told you all about our love of potato soup. So would you like to come with us to potato soup night next week?" Kagome's jaw dropped. She started at her mother and then looked up at Inuyasha. He looked equally as surprised and smiled at her expression. He seemed to be thinking and finally answered, "Yes, I think I would enjoy that." Kagome's eyes widened even more and she just stared. As she and her mother got up to leave Korari admonished her to stay and exchange phone numbers.
Solely, at her mother's request Kagome waited until Inuyasha returned. When he arrived he gave her a questioning look and asked, "May I help you?"
She smiled, with a hint of sarcasm, and answered, "My mom wants me to get your number."
He answered, "Really? That's the only reason you are asking for it?"
Kagome scowled a little in response and responded hotly, "Yes. That is the only reason. Now may I please have it so I can leave?"
Inuyasha chuckled at her and gave her his number. She put it in her phone and said, "I will text you Sunday to remind you. Other than that I'll see you Wednesday."
He chuckled and nodded and she gave him a little parting glare and stalked off to her car. Inuyasha thought, 'What have I just agreed to?'
A/N Well this story will be interesting, I have no control over it because it is completely and totally based on a true story. I am trying to stick as close to the truth as possible, but some things may change around. I have permission from the people involved to write it and they know how much it means to me. The other reason I was given permission is because "Kagome" could really use some advice. Inuyasha may not always be a great guy in this story, but overall he is. This is about real life events, and not necessarily a fairy tale. Please read and review and give advice!
Love,
Akemi
