Don't Question It

Authors Note- Hey everybody! I really don't know if I'm good at this kind of thing so PLEASE R&R! Tell me what you thing and I will give you more! See Ya! (Unusually chipper tonight… Must be cuz I just watched start of Olympics *wide grin*)

Disclaimer- Honey, if I owned Inuyasha I would not be writing about him. I would be driving him insane by making him cut stuff down for me!

Chapter 1

He stared at her. She stared back. What a terrible beginning to a tragic tale. But that was a how it all started. How it all began. An exchange of glances. A double take. The sly smile of those sharing a joke. Fate and its black sense of humour laughing at its latest deed. A shared moment between two ordinary people. But as it has been said before too much ordinary….will create something extraordinary.

She didn't have much money. She lived in an apartment alone. Every night she would stare out her window wondering when her life would start. When it would stop and take the extra jump. When she would feel a spark when with someone. To laugh with someone; to live life to the fullest. To perhaps, maybe have a conversation with someone other than her family. Each day she woke up and vowed to stop being so shy. She made a promise to talk to someone and to make a friend. Every day that promise was broken. She had never had a boyfriend. She wasn't the kind that appealed. She was pretty, but alternatively. Abnormally pale skin and dark, dark curls. Her eyes were the colour of navy and always seemed guarded, afraid of the world outside her head. Sometimes, men would come up to her. They would attempt a conversation but she never replied. Her throat would seize up and she'd feel as if she was choking. She was empty… hopelessly empty… Kagome.

He on the other hand had everything. Looks, wealth, a beautiful girlfriend. He was a hanyou and therefore rather rare. Times had changed and he was considered solid gold instead of cheap dirt. Demon women cooed at his soft human side and the humans adored his strength and skills. Everyone was in love with his appearance. His hair was silvery white and fell in styled locks down his back. Upon his head were two dog ears him being an inu hanyou. His face was always smirking and his reputation was that of a spoiled rich boy. A bit of a player with a new girlfriend every week. In fact the one he had now held the record of a staggering three weeks! People were already talking about their marriage, for if they had lasted this long an engagement couldn't be far away could it? But nobody knew the real him. Nobody knew that he could play piano. Nobody knew that every night he would shut his eyes and pretend his parents were still alive. Tell himself that he could them downstairs chatting quietly about nothing in particular.

His parents died when he was quite young but he could remember them clearly. He remembered how much in love they were. His father would come home and walk to his wife to kiss her. She would laugh softly and welcome his embrace. The hanyou had thought it ridiculous then but now he missed it. He missed seeing the adoration in his father's eyes and the way his mother would sometimes reach out and grasped the older man's hand. In memory he recollected that he was loved too. He recalled his father swinging him around and his mother giving him sudden hugs. Then one day, his father was killed… and nothing was the same again.

There were no more hugs. It was like his mother had died along with her husband. His older brother, Sesshomaru, moved away and he was all alone. All alone with a dead woman. Sometimes, desperate for the love he had once received he would go and hug her. Her arms would automatically hold him close but when he looked up he could see that she didn't even realise who he was.

So she killed herself. No last words, no last note, no nothing. He just came home and she was gone. An overdose. But on her lips was the first smile he had seen in months. He was pushed into a care home. Not adopted until he was eighteen and he left. That was he took control of his life. He created a successful business and practically became an overnight billionaire. Famous and popular he spent a year going up until he couldn't go any higher. He was officially "it". But that didn't matter for on the inside he was numb. He was empty… hopelessly empty…. Inuyasha.

Why they both went to this speech neither could say. Perhaps because it was something to do. Something that would waste the rest of the day. The lecturer was ridiculous. He really over acted and pretended to be more excited than he truly was. Kagome got bored. She skimmed the crowd looking for something interesting. Her eyes than met a pair of golden ones. She knew who he was. The famous Inuyasha. The one everyone gossiped about. Her cheeks flushed and she was about to look down when he smiled. It was the smile that made her keep looking. He looked at the speaker and rolled his eyes. She smiled slightly and nodded back.

Inuyasha had started out similarly bored. As Kagome had done he allowed his eyes to travel the length of the room before he saw a girl. Obviously she was just as tired of this speech as he was and he caught her eye to convey the connection. He pushed on when she offered a smile in return. Puffing his chest out he began to mimic the actions of the portly figure on stage. Chest puffed out, he looked fairly proud and moved his mouth as if talking importantly. Inuyasha looked back and felt pleasantly happy when he saw the girl shake with silent laughter.

The lecture ended and Inuyasha went to find this mysterious girl. Leaving his girlfriend of the now calling his name he wandered around the crowds. Eventually he spotted her. He pushed hhis way through masses and grabbed. The girl turned and looked at him her cheeks crimson and eyes nervous.

Hello, thought the man.

Hello, thought the woman.

But neither spoke aloud. We wonder why don't we readers? We wonder why neither spoke. Why they conveyed their feelings through touch and expression. Nobody knows that though.

But… that was how they met.

A/N- K, so I bet you noticed how there is more about Inuyasha than Kagome but maybe Kagome is hiding something! (Honestly I'm as clueless as the rest of you…)
