Genre: Romance x Humor
Pairing: Kagome and Itachi
Rating: T
Summary: She was spacey. He was a free spirit, literally. She was in her right time. He was out of time. Kagome wondered how she came to be haunted by a Ninja ghost.
Important Notes:
This is set obviously after Itachi's death…so he's dead as a doornail.
This is set in Manga verse…so everything is said and done and she's been sent to her time, but unlike the manga, she hasn't gone back yet. I haven't decided to deviate or not to deviate.
This won't be long chapters, but will be snippets and or one-shots centered around Kagome and Itachi.
…Glance…
Kagome Higurashi, unnameable legendary Miko of the Shikon no Tama, tripped as she moved through the halls. Her brown loafer shoe caught on a slightly lifted tile, causing her to stumble. She inhaled sharply as she stumbled forward and then caught herself, palms pressing against the panes of a cool window.
The city shone before her sapphire eyes, a firm reminder that she had been pulled from the past and back into the future. She leaned closer to the glass and exhaled, hot breath fogging up the window and slowly beginning to fade. The sight of metal, asphalt streets and multiple lights remained. A sigh escaped her lips and she pressed her forehead to the cool glass and shut her eyes.
There was no use hoping. When she opened her eyes, the city would be the sight that greeted her.
Deeply she inhaled, missing the fresh scents of trees and coolness the wind seemed to carry. Kagome opened her eyes the moment she heard the bell ring. It was time to stop yearning for the past and get accustomed to the fact she was here and didn't appear to be going anywhere.
The sounds of doors opening caused her to push off the window. She didn't need anyone thinking she was sick. Pasting a pleasant look to her face, she turned so she could blend into the crowd.
Eyes not really focusing, she minded her way into the school crowd and headed toward her second class. Her eyes became lidded and the backpack seemed a dead weight upon her back; she truly didn't want to be here.
'Inuyasha.'
His name was a haunting echo in her mind that caused her heart to clench. Kagome made it to her classroom's open door and stepped inside. No one had arrived yet and she moved inside, deciding to take her seat in the back near the windows. It wasn't until she set her pack on the desk that she noticed a pale hand reached out and touch the yellow material of her pack.
"Such an obnoxious color."
Her eyes widened in shock.
How dare someone touch her stuff and insult it all in one blow! This was the one thing she had left of her past, this obnoxious item had defied time alongside her. Her lips tightened into a firm line as she snapped her head up. Manners be damned!
"Listen here, you jerk!" Kagome snapped, eyes dark in anger.
Maybe it was the way charcoal eyes set within a delicately pale face widened that caused her to pause. Of course, it could have been the strange headband handing around the neck with a slash through a leaf. There was also the fact he wasn't dressed like a student and more like a weirdo cosplayer in his all black and fishnet outfit .
"You can see me?"
His voice was soft, astonished, and he leaned forward causing her to lean back. Her eyes narrowed; if he was going to play innocent then she would smack him down. She may not be able to purify a human but a good verbal lashing was still possible!
Kagome opened her mouth to start her vicious verbal assault when the strange boy stepped forward and through her desk. It was like watching someone move through water, yet the desk was physical. All her words came to a stop in her throat as she moved back and slammed against the wall.
"You can hear me."
His voice was an accusation. The boy continued through the desk and she decided that she couldn't move at all as she watched his body move through the chair as if physics didn't exist. His charcoal eyes were determined as he swam through reality and came to stand in front of her. She decided that he was a very tall boy and that now was the best time to react. Her Miko Ki flared to life and he merely ignored it as he reached forward and tried to touch her face. His hand was a bitter chill as it phased through her.
"I just wanted a glance, but never imagined I'd be seen." His lips moved, but his voice seemed distant.
The room spun and her vision blurred before everything went black.
Kagome Higurashi passed out, fell through the strange boy and hit the floor with a solid smack.
Author's Note:
Much thanks and Love to p00piehead for editing this piece! She is wonderful!
Mourning that I can't update my stories when I've been readied for the past week! So, here's a little Itachi and Kagome one-shot that will be snippets, probably less than 3,000 words in chapters.
Feel free to drop a note!
Can't wait to update!
Till Next Time, maybe?
