She showed up the beginning of their final middle school year. She was new to town, that much was obvious.
Kagome Higurashi
The girl was simply beautiful. Although, the first time he met her he had mistaken her for someone else. Not the best first impression, but he still left a mark on the the city girl.
Inuyasha Taisho.
He was the town rebel, and oddly enough her first real friend.He was always getting into trouble, and she was always getting him out of it. But as time passed the duo had gotten closer.
The city girl and the small town boy. No one could have guessed.
Kagome seemed to just attract trouble. Maybe it was because her flawless features seemed to attract every male around her, or maybe it was her fearless attitude.
But that was what Inuyasha liked about her.
She wasn't afraid, even when the odds weren't in her favor.
She never backed down.
But soon enough he learned that wasn't good enough for the world they lived in.
One day he had seen her walking home. Her uniform was slightly torn and covered in dirt. Her hands and knees had bloody scrapes. Even a couple scratches on her face.
He would never forget that look she had in her eyes.Those chocolate brown orbs, they were so lifeless and faded.
"Kagome!" He ran up to her, "What happened?"
His golden eyes widened as he saw hers fill with tears.
"I-it's nothing. Just Yura and her group of brats picking on me again. I guess it got a little too physical today." She shrugged it off as if it was nothing.
Inuyasha watched her as she wore a fake smile.
Then he saw it.
What he had thought to be a scratch on her face was actually a red hand print. A tear streamed down her cheek.
That was the day Inuyasha had made a decision.
That day on the sidewalk, as he held Kagome's sobbing form, he decided to protect her.
Little did he know that decision would effect each of their lives.
