Once In A Lifetime...

Chapter 1: It's Been Awhile

The sun was up high in the sky, the wind blowing so lightly that it made a whistling sound as it rustled the trees, it's green leaves peacefully fluttering down to land on the soft ember grass. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was very hot, each villager carried on with what they usually did, talking or working in the farms, kids playing with one another. It was truly a relaxing day, everyone was in a cheery mood. That is, except Kagome and Inuyasha.

They screamed at each other over a pointless topic as the others tried to ignore them but couldn't help but listen. "I can't believe you!" shouted Kagome, her face completely red. "What's the big deal if you stay a little longer or not. We need you here!" Inuyasha shouted.

"I can't just stay here forever. I have to keep up with my daily life too, you know! Besides, I'm nothing more than a jewel detector to you! You even admitted it!" Inuyasha backed a few inches from her face. "I never said that, what are you deaf now?"

"Who wants to stay here and get barked at anyway, I need a break too! When I'm gone, you can obsess about Kikyo, and not have to worry about me being here!" she screamed. "Fine go then!" Kagome strutted out of the small house Kaede owned. She then turned back around. "Inuyasha," she said, peaking through the door. "What is it, are you ready to apologize already?"

Kagome looked at him with hate. "Sit!" Inuyasha slammed into the ground face first and Kagome walked down the grass pathway. That Inuyasha could be so frustrating. I can't believe he thinks he could keep me here for his own needs. Do I look like a toy to you? she said in her head.

When Kagome reached the well, the sun was shining on it, making it look like a dream come true. Kagome's yellow backpack was uncomfortably hunched over her back as she slipped one foot into the well. She would probably come back next week, just to get caught up with things again, but until then, she just planned on going back to the present day to enjoy her life again.

Inuyasha sat outside and looked up at the sun. She can go all she wants, and if she takes to long I'll go get her again. Maybe she'll even apologize to me, Inuyasha thought.

"What's his problem? I have to say he deserved that, after trying to force her to stay here like that, and then yelling at her," Shippo said. "Shut up Shippo, I can hear you!" Inuyasha barked. Shippo hid behind Kaede. "Well I'm sure Kagome won't be gone for long, Inuyasha," Kaede said. Inuyasha ignored them. I don't care if she's gone or not, he said in his head.

...

Kagome fixed up her school uniform and got her school backpack ready. Sota was already at school and Granpa, or as she referred Gramps, was somewhere she didn't feel like looking. Her mom was out grocery shopping, so there was some peace and quiet. Kagome sighed to herself and smiled. "Finally some alone time," she said. Kagome walked out of her house and down the sidewalk as she looked back up at the temple.

For some odd reason, she felt happy and safe, looking up at it. She began to walk down the sidewalk. It seems like forever since I've walked down this pathway, she thought. Most people were at work, so it wasn't as crowded as it usually was. Cars drove by, working people chatted. It was present day time again.

When Kagome arrived at school, it seemed like a giant breeze. Everything passed by so quickly, even her friends whinning passed by into a deep nothing. It was just a quick day. "Kagome!"

Blinking, Kagome looked up to see one of her friends. She was leaned down on her desk, staring straight in her face. "Yes, what is it?" Kagome asked. "Haven't you heard about him, or have you been too sick to pay attention?" they asked. "Him?"

"This killer called Kira, haven't you heard. He's been wiping out criminals like they're flies!" Kagome sighed. "Kira?" she asked. "I can't believe you haven't heard of him. It's broad casted on the news like everyday. At first it stopped for about a month, maybe Kira was taking a break or something. Then, about 100 criminals were knocked out in one day! And get this, Kira is here in Japan!" Kagome looked out the window. "Well, whoever this Kira guy is I don't plan on meeting him," she moaned.

When Kagome walked home she let out a sigh of relief. Class was over, she thought. "Today packed on me like bricks. I didn't think it'd be this hard," she said under her breath. The sun began setting, making the sky a peach like orange behind the giant buildings. City lights turned on and Kagome just held onto her backpack. "I can't wait to get home and take a bath. I couldn't take one this morning because I had to get to class. I must reak of demon blood right now. Great, everyone smelt me like this today." Kagome whined.

Can today get any worse? she thought. Suddenly, a door flew into her face as Kagome was pushed backwards. And landing on her butt, she made an "Oof" sound as she landed. Kagome rubbed her head and looked up to see who had done it. "Ow," she said. Kagome stood up and brushed the dirt off her skirt as she looked to see a man in a long sleeve green button up and regular blue jeans. He had redish-brown eyes and short bright brown hair.

He was handcuffed to a man who was hunched uncomfortably, making him about three inches shorter than what he actually was. He wore a white long sleeve shirt and blue jeans that looked old and worn out. He had wild raven colored hair and gray eyes that looked so dull. He nibbled on his thumb and looked like he needed some sleep.

Kagome focused on the man who looked more regular. He looked awfully familiar. "Are you alright?" the man asked. "Yeah, I'm fine," Kagome said. Squinting her eyes, she got a closer look at the man and then it hit her like a bucket of bricks. "I know you! Yagami Light!" she shouted, a smile flooding over her face. Joy in her eyes as she looked at him.

Yagami Light was an old friend of hers. They use to hang out together before he graduated to To-Oh. They were good friends, always had each others back. She hadn't seen him once she started traveling to the feudal aura. "Kagome?" he said. "Yeah, that's me," she said. "It's been awhile, your looking well." Light said.

Kagome sighed and looked down. "I'm not as well as I look, school has been packing on me like nonstop. It's really hard and I think my grades are slipping. I just got back from being sick, and today was really tough for me," she told him. "You and me both. Schools been pretty hard and I've got a few problems myself," he said. "Oh really?"

Suddenly, Kagome glanced over to the man he was handcuffed to. "Who's this?" she asked. "Oh, this is my friend Ryuuzaki," he said. Ryuuzaki looked up and stared at her, those owlish eyes piercing right through her. "Nice to meet you miss," Ryuuzaki said, shaking her hand. "Why are you two handcuffed?" she asked. Light and Ryuuzaki looked at each other as if they didn't want to tell her. "Well, it's some personal stuff going on, is all," Light said.

Kagome looked at them confused. "Oh, it's a secret you can't tell your friend. Your good friend, Light-kun?" she said, shooting him a dirty look. "Believe me, if I could tell you I would, but for now I can't," Light said. Kagome sighed and then smiled again. "Oh well, secrets are secrets, after all I've got a few secrets myself. And we can't blame each other for not saying them," she said.

Ryuuzaki looked at her oddly. "What sort of secrets?" he asked. Kagome blushed. "Ryuuzaki, you can't just go up to someone and ask what their personal secrets are," Light said. Ryuuzaki backed up a bit. "How about we keep in contact, maybe Ryuuzaki might agree to let me tell you," Light said.

He pulled a sheet of paper and a pencil out as he wrote his number down. Kagome slipped it into her pocket and waved at Light as he walked away. "I'll call you later then!" she shouted. She never thought she'd see him again, what a coincidence. Though she saw Light again, she couldn't get that other guy he was with out of her mind.

Kagome arrived home and removed her backpack. She took a seat on her bed and watched as the full moon came over the sky, the city lights illuminated the streets. "What a day," Kagome said to herself. She took the jewel shard from around her neck and looked at it. She then sighed. What am I worrying about this thing for, right now I should just get back to reality.

Setting the jewel on her shelf she thought of Light. She hadn't seen him in so long, she never thought she'd see him again. She planned on calling him tomorrow, so they could catch up. He said school was hard though, she thought. "Why was he handcuffed to that one guy?" she asked herself. "I don't think their gay, maybe it was some personal business. I don't think he was arrested either. Light, you really are a strange guy, sense the first time I met you, talking like a genius," she thought.

Kagome lie down on her bed and turned the light off. "Well, I'll talk to him tomorrow then," she said, her eyes slowly falling down. She'd fallen asleep, wondering what she was going to say to him the next day.

This is a slight LightxKagome but mainly a LxKagome. So don't fret on the minor romance scences. Either way stay Tune! \(^3^)/
