A Thousand Words
They say a picture's worth a thousand words, well this one spoke volumes.
Chapter 1
The Ill-fated Meeting
It should have been just another ordinary day of school filled with classes, friends, and the occasional 'mystery meat' for lunch. The day did start out that way, but Kagome had no idea what travesty would befall her.
Walking up to the school, Kagome waved at her friends before going to join them. Rin was talking about their latest test and freaking out, because she got a B…Rin doesn't get B's. Sango laughed, "don't tell me your imaginary boyfriend has been keeping you up too late to study."
Rin flustered at that comment and held her school books even closer, "he's not imaginary and he actually helps me study."
Kagome giggled, "I think that your mind was too busy thinking about him and less interested in the test questions."
The girl opened her mouth to retort, but then she thought about it and slumped in defeat.
"Your right! Oh no! I'm gonna turn into one of those brainless love sick puppies!"
Sango cocked her head, "you're going to turn into one?"
Rin smacked her on the arm and Kagome just smiled and shook her head.
"Honestly, Rin, I envy you! I'm so involved in my academics that I have no time to find a guy and yet one just dropped in your lap."
The girl blushed at that, "well I was in the city library looking for some PSAT books and it was like a cute romance movie! I pulled the book I needed and another hand appeared on top of mine. When I looked up, there he was in all his dreaminess."
She sighed in bliss and both Kagome and Sango knew she had fallen pretty hard for the guy.
Just then the bell rang for first class and they parted ways. Kagome was lost in thought as she delighted in knowing a girl as sweet and kind as Rin would be well taken care of and treated as the diamond she was. Turning down the hall her class was on, she missed the 'Slippery When Wet' yellow sign and when she started to fall she latched onto the first thing closest to her…a silver haired half demon with puppy dog ears.
When she fell, the hard body of the hapless student fell with her and accidently flipped her shirt up in the process. Even worse was that he now had his head cradled snuggly in the crevice of her bountiful bosom. She jerked her head up to look at him, biting her lip in nervousness.
It was this exact moment that the photographer for the high school newspaper ran up to them and snapped a picture; Kagome's face and the face of her 'bosom buddy' looked at the camera right before the flash. The photographer stood back up and half bowed with a devilish smirk plastered on his pale creepy face before walking away.
Glancing up at the person on top of her, she blushed even deeper.
"Could you please get up?"
The boy stared into her blue depths and wondered how this beauty had hidden herself so well in the school that he had never seen her before. He obliged and stood up on shaky feet, doing his best to avert his eyes as he helped Kagome up.
"Thank you."
"Keh, I should thank you."
Kagome looked confused, "why is that?"
He smirked, but it looked way sexier on him than the photographer.
"Because I wanted a reason to skip class and you just gave me one."
She let out the breath she was holding, thank God, he didn't say something perverted. Brushing off her skirt and righting her top, she held out her hand.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi."
He grabbed her hand, surprised at how delicate and fragile it felt in his own.
"InuYasha Takahashi."
Her eyes widened but she couldn't find her words. Everyone knew of him as the bad boy of the school with an outrageously extreme temper…dangerous.
"Is something the matter?"
Kagome regained her composure, "not at all, it's just your name sounds familiar."
InuYasha looked her up and down and the sexy smirk turned a little more heated.
Staring at her like that, Kagome didn't know if she wanted to run or blast him out for it. Half demons still have crazy speed and stamina so he would catch her in no time, her choice was made.
"InuYasha, would you mind not staring at me like that? It's making me feel uncomfortable."
His eyes widened in surprise, "my face was planted firmly in your chest not even 10 minutes ago and this makes you uncomfortable?"
"Yeah, well…"
Words failed her so she decided to start her trek to class.
Kagome grabbed her bag and started to walk off, "Ow!"
Pulling her leg up, she checked out her ankle and knew she sprained it from the fall.
She put her foot back down and attempted pressure, only to have pain shoot through her ankle again.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine!"
Three more failed attempts at walking.
"You don't look fine."
"No really, it's all good."
Three more attempts with her almost slipping on the floor again.
"You're stubborn."
Kagome fisted her hands at her sides and then her shoulders slumped.
"InuYasha?"
Said hanyou walked over with a grin.
"Yes, Kagome?"
She hated, no loathed to do it.
"Will you please help me to the nurse's office?"
He didn't reply, instead he scooped her up bridal style and chuckled as she 'eeped' from the sudden movement.
Kagome felt so relaxed in his arms, though she would never let him know. It was bad enough that he was incredibly hot and being really nice to her…it was hard for her not to swoon. He smelled good, like sandalwood and all virile man (half-demon is his case), and she was having a fight with herself over how bad she wanted to rub those adorable puppy ears that seemed to twitch toward any new little sound in the halls. She rested her head on his shoulder and felt a new tinge of pink heating her cheeks.
InuYasha held onto her and tried his best not to think of just how good her body felt against his, or how incredible her breasts were.
Stop right there! If I don't get a hold of myself and calm down, HE might try to take over for me and do something to her…I can't let that happen.
Before long, they were at the nurse's office and Kagome was placed on one of those medical beds. The nurse was turning her foot slowly up, down, left, right. Kagome winced as she moved it to the right.
"Well you've got yourself a good sprain and I don't think you should try walking on it anymore today. Tomorrow it should be tolerable only if you heed my warning and stay off it."
"Yes ma'am, thank you."
Taking the medial gloves off, the nurse turned back around to her, "you want me to call your mom to pick you up?"
Kagome shifted nervously, "well my mom's out of town and my Grandpa isn't allowed to drive."
InuYasha heard the whole exchange, "I can take her home."
Both mouths of the nurse and Kagome dropped open, even the staff knew of his bad reputation.
"I'm sure that won't be necessary, InuYasha. She could probably find a friend to take her home."
His ears flattened, "look, I can take you home, Kagome, and I promise to be a gentleman."
Inu did a mock bow and, for some reason, Kagome felt that he would keep his word.
"Alright, InuYasha. You can take me home."
He curved the side of his smiled slightly as he walked over to pick her up again and take them to his truck.
The nurse stared wide-eyed at them, "I really hope nothing bad comes of this."
