Inuyasha

Chapter 1: Reacquainted

By chance and coincidence, he first saw her when he was out finishing a call in private and doing some other work on his phone in the more silent of the school grounds where seldom, if not no one goes to.

He frowned, seeing a girl sitting there on her own with her back facing him as he could see the way her shoulders would shake from time to time. He is not one to really care for women at this age or could hardly master much interest in them as he walked away silently. Though when he noticed movements from her, Sesshoumaru frowned and did not move from his spot as he kept out of sight.

Though not really expecting, he saw the girl's face turned slightly as she readjusted her body angle before once again having her back faced him. Kagome Higurashi, she is perhaps the least expected person he thought to see here, and frowned again at it as his eyes narrowed at her. The girl that is always happily with his half-brother and apparently without fail would often be seen to be with him despite of his crudeness, brashness and recklessness.

However it was all not his business as Sesshoumaru silently gave her a last look before disappearing around the corner and through another path to avoid being seen by her. When Kagome turned about, having thought that there was someone there, only to see that it was perhaps her mind as she turned about again, her mind wandering as she hug her legs to herself.

When he next saw her, it was in an almost similar situation, only in a different institution and under different circumstances where he saw a more serious side of her for the first time. The change in her is almost drastic from the fun, bubbly and always smiling girl, he saw her turn into a person who looks harder to approach, colder in emotions, almost seldom with people and most of the time alone and almost always on the phone for a brief period.

From time to time he would see her around campus, and sometimes absent. Even after they graduated, when they next met, it was at a party, a private party in which he was surprise to see her at, and that was also when he first formerly started getting to know her, and along side of her, and another rival in business who is just as annoying and dangerous.

Kagome sensing the tension between the two of them, quietly excuse herself as she went towards another group of guests where they are gathered as she mingled amongst them, glancing between the two male once or twice before turning her attention away.

Naraku a man that she knows from when she was in the darkest part of her life, and learned that though on the surface he may seem like the shrewdest of businessman and a hard to come by young elite entrepreneur in his line, but there is also a side of him that she was privy to by coincidence. Which was also one of the reasons why he was almost always bothering her, teasing her and testing her almost all of the time.

Sesshoumaru on the other hand, reminded her of her past relationship that after that had given her such a hard time that she nearly died in it, but as life had it, there is a silver lining and she was lucky to find it and make it her own for now. Luck has almost always been by her side and even more so things have been successful but not without much blood and sweat from her.

However she is also not one to fully trust on her luck to be always good, there is always the fear that there is something else far worst that might be coming after her, especially with how she walks in both light and darkness.

"Congratulations,"

"Thank you," Kagome said just as she was turning about to face whoever it was that had given her their 'congratulations'.

Her eyes widened slightly at the unexpected interaction from Sesshoumaru as she placed a smiling back on her face and regarded with him politely. There really is not much to say, and just as she was about to excuse herself, he opened his mouth again.

"I would like to see a possible partnership from your company," he said in an indifferent tone that held a cool intent to it that made her feel suddenly even more alert to the possible danger to his words.

However remembering that he is unlike the position that she is in makes him more harmless for now, only that he is a shrewd and heartless businessman, very much similar to that of Naraku, their only difference is in the lives involved.

Speaking of the devil, or thinking about it, Kagome saw Naraku walking towards them, with a smile upon his lips that she knows all too well. As though following that side-glance of hers, Sesshoumaru tilted his head ever so slightly to see who she is looking at. His face though like that of an ice cube, did not show much change, but his mood however darkened with displeasure at the other walking towards them.

"Kagome," Naraku greeted with an easy going smile on his face, approaching her to stand as close to her despite of her shifting away from him with each step.

It was mainly pleasantries, and simple exchanges, nothing serious. Though, she was quick to find an excuse and left the two again to their own as they glanced at her before entering into a moment long of battle in their eye power.
