Hello! Those who have seen or read my story for Kagome in wonderland, I present to you another story. Yup. Do you like stories (?) because I do!
I disclaim because I truly DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! And I am not Rumiko in disguise, If i was then I wouldn't say disclaim.
Anyway, yours truly, the apprentice.
Thursday, March 1st (12:00)-
Kagome sighed looking at the timer implanted on the skin of her wrist.
1 day 1 hour 27 minutes 32 seconds
In precisely 1 hour, 27 minutes and 32 seconds of tomorrow, I will meet him; my soul mate. Everyone ever to be born has a timer since birth. It counts down when you will meet your Soul mate. When it gets to 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, My timer will disappear and I will be of age. When I am of age, The red string of Fate will appear and bind me and my soul mate for eternity.
Just the thought of finding her soul mate, her other half, her life partner...it made her heart beat faster.
Kagome wasn't one of the prettiest girl's around or so she thought. She had raven black hair that was wild at the tips and grew down to her back. She had her mother's chocolate brown eyes and her (deceased) father's smile that could light up the room. Kagome was 5 ft 1 in., which was kinda small for a 17 year old. Despite her height she was well-built and sweet which made her an easy target for guys.
Kagome sighed. She never thought the time for her red string would be so soon.
Friday, March 2nd, (1:27) -
Kagome was wearing her hair down with a blue mudkip shirt and skinny jeans. She had black converse and a satchel as her accessories. Kagome was never one for dressing stylish but,most people said that it came to her naturally.
She was walking around a fountain park thinking about how her life would change when the timer ran out.
0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 32 seconds
32 seconds?! My heart is racing my palms shed a bit of sweat and there are butterflies in my stomach.
30 seconds
Butterflies? It feels more like moths. Moths eating up my stomach like leather. Feels Terrible...
25 seconds
Oh no...nobody is coming. He's not gonna be here. Coulda worn a sweater. Shoulda known he'd stand me up. Woulda not come here if I knew he would stand me up.
15 seconds
Maybe I'll go home. But, mom would be disappointed if I did. She'd say I never went through with it.
10 seconds
My heart is spinning now too. Perfect.
5...
This is it.
4...
I'm gonna do it
3...
What's it gonna be like? A knight in shinig armor?
2...
Doesn't matter I'm gonna meet him
1...
My soul mate
0...
Kagome expected something to blow up for some strange reason, as if her timer were a bomb. But, the only thing that happened was the timer with the gray numbers disappeared. Then a red string formed around he index finger unveiling itself as a hansome hanyou with silver hair and dog ears approach her. He wore a red T-shirt, baggy jeans and black cnverse, just like her.
"Hey wench, what's your name?" He said bluntly.
So much for a knight in shining armor. "K-Kagome." She said nervously.
"Well, I'm InuYasha."
InuYasha. Huh.
InuYasha's hands were at his sides and she noticed the red string connected to his right index finger.
Yup. He's the one.
Kagome tried her very hardest not to groan.
"Keh. Don't get in my way, Ka-go-me." He said teasingly.
"I should be saying the same." Kagome replied smartly.
InuYasha's ears twitched uncomfortably as he walked away.
He probably hates me. No matter, I hate him too.
(InuYasha's POV)
She probably hates me. Who cares? Not me because I feel the same!
Just then InuYasha's ears twitched uncomfortably for the second time as he heard it.
Bzzzzt!
InuYasha's head whipped around as he felt a burn of electricity from the red string as it was shrinking and now glowed bright red. Kagome stopped as she noticed it too. As the red string was shrinkng, Kagome and InuYasha were being pulled towards each other. Then, with one final and large tug the string shrunk 5 ft! InuYasha was thrown at Kagome.
(2:08)
and when the fuzziness cleared out of his head, and he found that he was supporting himself from falling onto Kagome. Then when she came back to earth, she pushed him off of her.
"Hentai!" she screeched clutching her shirt.
"No, it's not like that wench! Besides, who'd want to make a move on someone like you?" InuYasha said offensively.
"How dare you!" Kagome then picked up her hand and struck it across InuYasha's face.
Bzzt!
The string jerked and shrunk a foot and they were now just 2 ft apart from each other.
Great...stuck to a bitch like this. For how long? Oh wait, the rest of my fucking life.
Kagome groaned.
What's wrong now?
He looked over to see her leg bruised badly because of the fall. He could understand why. His strength was five times that of a human. Falling on her had to hurt.
"Can you walk?" InuYasha asked.
"I don't know." Kagome replied, this time without a smart attitude.
InuYasha caused her leg to be busted up, he might as well help her. He got up, bent down and scooped her up carrying her, princess style. "Where do you live?"
"Higurashi shrine."
He started walking in the southwest direction towards her house.
(Kagome's POV)
After ten minutes of InuYasha running with her, they finally arrived at her house.
He certainly runs fast, it usually takes me thirty minutes just to get from the park to here. Now, all I have to do is get InuYasha out of here before Mom finds him.
Kagome's mom would get all weepy that someone is meant for her daughter, then she'll make him commit his life to making Kagome happy.
It'll be a fucking trainwreck if she finds out about this rude asshole being my soul mate and all.
As Kagome climbed off of the Inu-Hanyou's back, She heard a slam at the door and groaned.
Mom.
"Kagome~! How did it go?"
"Umm, mom, it went..."
How am I gonna explain this to Mom? Her heart will break if she knows that it went terribly wrong! Or worse! She'll start acting like an unstable demon and claw his eyes out! Oh, how I fear for this hanyou.
But instead a rather intimidating voice soothed her mother's curiossity. "It all went fine Ms. Higurashi."
"O-Oh, well thats wonderful!" ms. Higurashi squealed like a fangirl with sempai and tackle hugged InuYasha. "I-I knew she would find someone."
I knew she would say that. Typical.
"M-mom, stop jumping on my mate! You're gonna scare him."
"Oh, don't be silly Kagome! I'm not gonna scare him."
Kagome sighed. Her mom really needed to calm down.
"Well~! Why don't we have him stay for lunch, and dinner and forever!" Ms. Higurashi squealed
"Sorry to disappoint you mom but, he's got a life of his own." Kagome stood in his defense because he was too busy getting huggle attacked by Ms. Higurashi.
"Yeah" InuYasha said after Ms. Higurashi stopped suffocating him. "My brother would be mad if I stayed away longer than three days. Plus, I have work."
InuYasha got up from the ground, dusting off his jeans and started to part with the two women. But, he felt a tug at his hand because the red string wouldn't let him go no more than two feet away from Kagome.
"What the?" He said. For the first time in his 200 years, he was puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked. She obviously couldn't hide her curiosity.
"Oh, well that usually happens with the red string when one person feels hatred or a strong angry emotion at the other." Ms. Higurashi answered.
InuYasha and Kagome stared at her blankly.
Had she seen through our ploy? Kagome wondered desperately.
"Oh well! Must be acting up, sometimes it does that."
"Umm, yeah, it's probably acting up, it happens between my brother and his mate somewhat often."
"Do they hate eachother?" Kagome asked shyly.
"Umm...N-no!, they love eachother so-so much!"
He's clearly lying. And I doubt that thered string 'acts up'.
"Anyway, from the looks of it, your red string won't let you two go anywhere that's away from eachother, so~..." she trailed off to show them her excited smile. "So~ that means you get to stay for the day!"
So help me kami-sama.
