It was a normal morning in the Higurashi residence. The young priestess, Kagome, was packing the last of her study books along with some supplys and essentials. She sighed softly and took in the scent of her surroundings. The sound of birds singing in the morning sun could be heard outside her window along with footsteps coming up the stairs. The footsteps stopped just outside her bedroom door. Kagome waited for the door to open and the person behind it to be revealed. As the door knob turned Kagome picked up her overly stuffed backpack. The door swung open and standing in the doorway was her little brother Sota. He was leaning against the door frame and was breathing deeply. Kagome thought it must have been because he was running.
"He..He's here! Ka..Kagome! Inuyasha is here!!" he said while panting heavily.
"I know. I saw him out of the window" she replied.
She didn't want to admitt that she had been watching him for a while now. Admirring his hansome features and his muscular body. Kagome blushed slightly and walked past her brother. She patted him on the head and then headed down the stairs.
"He's gonna kill me" she thought "Its bad enough that i left with out telling him i was going, but i've been here for over five days!"
Not concentrating on what she was doing. Kagome lost her foting and missed the step below her. She came crashing down the rest of the stairs with an almighty thud.
"OUCH!"
As she sat at the bottom of the stairs she rubbed the bottom of her spine, which was now very sore. She closed her eyes tightly as she cloud feel the stinging sensation at the back of her eyes that ment she was about to cry any moment. With all her might she tried her best to stop herself from letting them pour from her eyes. Though one tear managed to escape and started to roll down her cheek. Kagome's eyes fluttered open when she felt a hand on her cheek wiping the tear away. When her eyes where in focuse she was surprissed to see that the hand belonged to Inuyasha. Her cheeks blushed a light pink.
"You should really be alot more carefull. You could hurt yourself" said Inuyasha softly.
He could see Kagome's eyes where still shiney from the unshed tears, he smiled kindly to her. He had seen her fall and knew she had hurt herself, so he was trying to be as sympathetic as he could concidering what she did to him. He streched out his arm and held his hand out for her to hold. She clasped it and pulled herself up.
"Come on, we best get going" laughed Inuyasha after he saw Kagome's cheek go from a light pink to a vibrant red.
The young priestess nodded. After saying their goodbyes, they headed down the well. The well was the portal between Inuyasha's world and Kagome's. As usual Inuyasha was the first to travel fivehundered years into the past, with Kagome not to far behind him.
