That morning the Higurashi family was in a rush. Kagome had just gotten back from Fuedal Japan, Sota had a huge test today and he didn't want to be late, mom had to hurry to the grocery store , and grandpa had to finish his special bonding enchantments to put on the shrine. Everyone was scrambling around trying to get their things together. Everything was so confusing that Kagome ran down the stairs of the shrine with no shoes on. She dashed back up the stairs and ran inside. Her mom was holding the shoes as if she knew Kagome would do that. Kagome slipped on her shoes, gave her mom a quick kiss, and dashed down the steps again. She was hurrying for she had a history exam that day and didn't want to be late. Thoughts of Inuyasha and the fight that they had earlier were running through her head. She wanted to go back and apologize, but she needed to hurry on to school. She ran with all her books in her hands. She headed towards the school doors when she dropped a book without noticing. She kept running when she heard a familiar voice.
"Hey! you dropped your book!" the voice yelled.
Kagome slowly turned around and saw a young boy with black hair pulled up in a braid, dark brown eyes and the most gorgeous smile.She gasped for she recognized the boy as Bankotsu, leader of the Band of Seven. She same Bankotsu that Inuyasha killed.
"AAAA! It's you...Bankotsu! but how?" Kagome screamed as she snatched the book out of the notorious mercenary's hands. Kagome screamed and was about to run away when the mysterious killer grabbed her wrist.
"Let go of me!" she screamed. She tried to pull away as she clawed him.
"Woah! Calm down! I'm not this Bankotsu guy or whoever...I'm Ken'ichi."
"Huh?..Oh sorry." Kagome apologized nervously. She gazed into his gorgeous brown eyes and smiled, "ummm...Hi...i'm Kagome Higurashi...I'm so sorry, you just look so much like someone else i know."
"Like who? Some murderer or something? You seem frightened of this guy. Can i help...Kagome?" he asked as he smiled. Kagome couldn't find any words to say. She was to busy gazing into his eyes. She was speechless and realized she was making herself look like a fool.(as always)
"Uh...um...yeah sure...I mean no! this guy is dead...I don't don't have to worry about...about...him" Kagome choked.
"Ok." Ken'ichi replied. "Wow i thought girls at my old school were wierd." he thought.
"Oh great...you're making yourself look like a complete idiot."she thought, "just take a deep breath and say something else."
"umm...well...bye!" Kagome yelped as she dashed in the school.
"Wait!" Ken'ichi yelled. He was too late though, Kagome had already disappeared into the building.
