FIRST LOVE

Chapter 1: Encounter

The idea of this story is based from the stories told by my friends and family. I thank you for your help in making this. For the readers, I hope you'll enjoy this. I do not own Inuyasha. If I have, o well…By the way, sorry for the ooc

The first time for a guy to approach a girl in his life, be it pure admiration or a senseless dare, an ounce of energy will flow in you until a sudden urge of doing silly things to know her happens. Before you know it, everything happens in a flash, and when you think back, you wondered how on earth you managed to do or say something as retard.

Right now, I am in a similar situation. I observed her for two days and for some reasons unknown, something struck me, whispering in my mind that I have to know her. My eyes never left her. It seems like Cupid's arrows ricocheted towards me. She is petite and small, with long flawless hair. Her features are well defined - especially her eyes that captured my very soul in the first wink I caught from her. She is not like those drop-dead gorgeous models, but when she smiles and her two dimples creases into her cheeks deeply, nothing on earth is sweeter than her. Her charisma and the air that surrounds around her is angelic and when I am near her, too close for comfort, she smelled like a walking perfume.

If I want this piece of dream to turn into reality, then I have to know her. If it were something that I'm good at, it could have been possible in a wink of an eye, but I have never approached a girl before. What do you expect from someone who studied in almost all his life and never have a really close relationship with a girl, be it my mother or my sister. Female of similar age seems not to exist in my environment ever since I got traumatized due to their constant taunts.

Today is the last day of school, which means starting from tomorrow, two months worth of vacation will begin. Then, my chances of seeing her will be zero because she doesn't even stay near me; she stayed near my good friend, Miroku, in a private estate. Fate has enabled me to see her. For two days, I have been going to Miroku's house and I only have the chance to see her at the bus stop. So everything needs to be done today!

She is standing in front of me and my mind is virtually blank, thinking of a good way to start a decent conversation with her. Then, the bus appeared into sight and this set my pulse racing - I am losing time! The bus slowed down and gradually stopped. We both boarded it. I chose a seat near the back and sat down, watching her walk pass me and sit behind me. A wave of uneasiness washed over me as I could sense her gaze on my back. There was an emotional war waging inside me while I'm fighting against trying to walk over to introduce myself and in keeping myself rational. Finally our stop came and we got down. She walked at a quickened pace, thinking that I am stalking her. Every second is slipping pass me and beads of sweat broke out from my forehead. I can't let this final chance go by!

She went through the gate of the estate by now and my mind is in state of desperation. Watching her gradually moving towards her house is unimaginable. Come on Inuyasha you can do it! Or else, you're gonna lose this chance forever!

A surge of false strength filled my veins as I ran towards her. When I'm already in an arm's length from her, I delivered a light tap onto her shoulder. She turned around, as if expecting all that would happen and gave me a curious look.

"Hi, I was...was wondering if I...I...could get to know you and be your friend??"

All my energy is drained from me as I struggled to say this sentence. I blushed as I waited for any response. She smiled faintly and gosh, that nearly swept me off my feet. Five minutes went by and everything happened as smoothly as any successful mission. We exchanged numbers and I learned that she is half Japanese who came here to study. Her name is Kagome, a beautiful name. It's just like her, a beauty beyond words.

Then she said she had to leave and with a smile escaping from her lips, we parted. I looked back at her one final time, before running and yelling at the top of my voice that I made it. Did I mention knocking onto a lamppost and actually apologized to it?

It has been two months since I knew her and we always find time to contact each other. It seems like we are good friends now. Miroku told me to go after her, but my heart doesn't want to sacrifice this stable friendship for now. Maybe because I had never had a girlfriend before and always have this phobia of a relationship not lasting behind my head.

I came home quite late one night. I logged in to my YM and yes! She is there. Before I could catch my breath for running back home from the bus stop, she sent me a message.

"What took you so long?"
"I just came back from school, you?"
"I waited for you to come online."
Waited for me? Sometimes girls can be so cute. Words like these seemed like healing words for a hard day. Miroku said that guys must be sweet talkers and romantic. Well, I'm none of the above. But I tried learning to be one.

"Why, you miss me already? Hahahaha!"
I know the laughter was just to cover my embarrassment, but, it's one good attempt.
"Inuyasha, I'm not in the mood today."
"Really, what happened?"
"My best friend just broke up with her boyfriend today."

Somehow, girls are very affected over things happening to their friends in matters like love. Guys would normally tell them to move on life or something. On the other hand, the girls would share their pain and sorrow with each other.

"Well, it's getting common isn't it? Relationships are breaking up every now and then."
"It's sad to see them break up after three long months."
Three months and you called that long? Maybe people involved will find it longer than it seemed to be. I am known in school for giving advices regarding personal relation problems. Maybe that's why I have another point of view? But when it comes to me, I don't know what to say.

"If they were meant to be together, they will be together right? Sometimes not being together is a good thing. Couples not suited for each other which are forced to be together is a painful thing. Fate to me is like a legend; everyone talks about it, rant about it, thank God about it. But when it comes to relationships, I know nothing. I have never gotten myself a girlfriend."

"Then are we fated to know each other. Inuyasha?"
I always hated it whenever girls corner me with questions that neither yes nor no is the right answer. Just when I am stuck thinking about what to answer, my mom shouted
while knocking at my door, demanding that I finish the food left for me.

"Hey, I have go for now to eat supper. I'll answer you next time."
She didn't reply.
"Come on. Give me a smile ok? I'll treat you to a movie next time, promise."
"Don't forget that promise. Ok then, see you tomorrow."
Well, it seemed that the treating trick always works. It means that I can make use of this excuse to catch a movie with her! I am such a fast learner.
"Ok! bye then."
The next thing I see is the 'DISCONNECT' word on my computer. Grinning from ear to ear, I skip my way to the kitchen.

Note: Oh well, that's the end of chapter 1. I'll try to update as soon as possible. For now, just leave reviews or comments so that I may improve on the next chapter. Thanks everyone!!!
