CHAPTER 1

Shikon University was buzzing with the sound of all the freshmen. Everyone was excited to start their first step in college and the seniors were excited as they would now be welcoming their juniors with a bang.

Kagome was a little nervous. She was getting jitters already at the thought of facing her seniors. Her elder brother Souta had passed out from this college, and her elder sister Kikyou was in her final year. She was the youngest among three siblings. From what she had heard from her brother, the seniors were definitely to be alarmed of. Though her brother was crowned as the fresher of the year, he had had his share of ill bidding with his seniors. Kikyou on the other hand was not interested in anything but her studies and her boyfriend Naraku. She was very beautiful but the least popular. Well, that was mostly because of her sarcastic attitude towards everyone. Though Naraku himself was quite handsome, he was an introvert. Maybe, the reason why they both liked each other was merely that opposite attract.

Kagome was a little bit of both her elder brother and sister. She was athletic and talented like her brother, and beautiful and smart like her sister. But right now none of that was going to help her. She looked sideways at her friend Sango. She wasn't as nervous as her.

"Sango, do you think we'll fit in fine? I mean… I …"

"Relax Kags, everything'll be fine. You are worrying too much. Besides, we always have the recommendation of your brother, and Kikyou will also be there. And not to forget, Kohaku. Though he did say he won't be lenient but he can't have his only sister scrubbing the college floor now, can he?" with that Sango started laughing.

With everything said, they started moving with the crowd towards the main hall. Suddenly Kagome was pushed from the back. She turned back to give a piece of her mind to whoever it was when, she saw him. Silver hair, a few bangs on his forehead, very cute nose and the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. He was bent forward towards her as he was trying to pull his bag, which was held in the crowd. She didn't fail to notice that he was mere inches away from her. She blushed instantly and backed a little only bumping into Sango.

"Hey, what's the big idea?...Kags slow down. We'll get there together." Kagome turned towards Sango with pleading eyes. For some odd reason she couldn't find her voice to speak. She turned towards the golden eyed boy again. He was standing now to his full 6'ft height, wearing white shirt and blue jeans.

"I'm really… sorry. I was pushed. I… sorry." He was looking at her intently.

"Well, it better not happen again." With that Sango pulled Kagome away into the crowd.

"Did you notice how he was looking at you? Weird… I mean who has silver hair?" Sango was going on and on about stuff, but Kagome was too lost in those eyes to notice. She was turning back whenever she could to catch a glimpse of that guy; just to be sure he was real.

….

"Students, welcome to Shikon University."

"This assembly is sure boring… Man, I wish we could leave."

"Miro, for once take it easy."

"That's easy for you. By the way who were those girls you were talking to? I leave you for a second and you go on seducing women without me? Inuyasha Takahashi, how could you do that to your best friend?" Miroku was now faking and holding his heart. Inuyasha started laughing at his friends antics. He started remembering the girl he bumped into. He didn't do it on purpose. His bag was being carried off in the crowd, while pulling it back he sort of bumped into the person in front of him. The person turned out to be a girl with the most beautiful eyes. She had long black tresses and chocolate brown eyes, which were enlarged in shock. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of her. She looked so cute. And the kind of emotions that went across her face altogether really amazed him. She seemed angry at first, and then she was transfixed. A moment later she was blushing.

"Now what are you smiling at?"

"Nothing. So do we have any classes together?"

….

With that most of their morning went running in and out of classes. But all through the day, he could not stop thinking about that girl. He had been daydreaming about meeting her once more through his classes. But it was the end of the day and still hadn't met her. Maybe she was only here for registration. Or maybe he was only dreaming about someone so innocent, beautiful and lively.

With his thoughts still on her, he managed to bump into someone again. This time, it was his fault.

"I am so sorry. I didn't see you coming." She was picking up her fallen books and papers. He bent down to help her out.

"How can anyone be this stupid? Don't you have eyes? I was right in front of you, and you still managed to bump into me. I know your kind very well mister. So don't try anything funny." She looked like she was in a hurry, picking up the papers in haste. When she was done, she snatched the papers from his hand. With a wave of her long lustrous hair she looked at him.

"You!" They both said simultaneously. She looked quite furious now. And she turned in her frenzy and started walking off.

"Wait." Inuyasha followed her like a puppy.

"It wasn't my fault. Neither now, nor in the morning. I swear it was an accident." How was he supposed to know he would meet the same girl by bumping into her again?

"I thought it was an accident in the morning. But now?" she stopped in her tracks.

"You did it on purpose. Gods, where do you guys get off? You think it's funny bumping into someone?" she was very furious. And he was still marveling how her face was flushed with all the anger.

"I am sorry. It wasn't intentional. I was lost in some thought. I should've been more careful." She stopped. As if studying his face, she seemed lost in thoughts.

"Alright. I guess it could've been a coincidence. I shouldn't blow it out of proportion."

"Friends?" He was just hoping she would say she.

"I… guess… friends." He knew their friendship was the start of something new.

Over the years they became inseparable friends. Doing everything together. But that's not what had them loving each other. It was something else.
