I looked up to the sky, with tears blurring my vision. Even the kind hug he gave me couldn't cheer me up. "Don't waste you tears on me Kagome. I'm not worth it." The warmth of my tears shocked my cold face as a cold wind sent chills up my spine. I was young, but I still knew he was leaving forever.

"I swear I'll come back for you Kagome. It may take years, bit I promise you, we will meet again." His grip tightened on me. I could feel him trembling too, although he was trying to act strong. I sniffled and cried some more into his shoulder. Another fierce flurry of wind and leaves swirled around us.

"Kagome, I have to leave now. Goodbye."

And with the next gust, he was gone.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I woke up startled. Like I had just had a nightmare but I couldn't remember what it was about. I sunk back into the warmth of my bed. "Mmph why does my bed always feel softer in the morning?" I groaned. Buyo, my cat, gave a little yawn from the foot of my bed. I pulled the covers up to my chin a gazed out the window.

The morning was sunny but chill. I could see the sunlight through the crimson leaves of the red maple outside my window.

I pulled myself from the bed and slowly started getting ready for school. I heard my mother in the kitchen making breakfast. "Kagome, are you up?" she yelled to me. "Yeah ma I'll be right down." I called back. Typical day, I thought. I ran the brush through my hair, but while I was looking in the mirror I saw something strange, a glimmer in my window. A silver blur against the scarlet leafed back round.

I remember thinking I must be going crazy, to be seeing things.

…….. (Later that day)……..

"Kagome, can I have your cookie?" My friend, Sango, asked. We were sitting in the court yard during lunch. "PSH get your own mooch." "Don't be a butt licker give me some." I laughed and broke off half to give to her. Her face lit up and she chirped, "Thanks hun." I always loved her perkiness; it kept me from spacing out.

I laid down on the grass and stared at the clouds. Sango was bent over her algebra book, trying to figure out integers and such. "Fo dih yoo fee tha new kid?" She asked with a mouthful of cookie. "We have a new kid?" I asked back. "No I just love bullshitting you." She replied with a smirk. I sat up and smirked back, "Oh of course."

"But seriously you have to see him. Tall, long dark hair... and I swear he has the sickest eyes. Dark indigo, the kind you only see in anime." This got me interested. "Oh you know my weakness Sango, already I have fallen head over heals for this magical pretty eyed guy whom I've never met." I said sarcastically, but still engrossed… I don't know why but I love a guy with interesting eyes. Doesn't every girl want an incredible guy with eyes you can just stare into?

"Anyways he just moved down the block to that nice old mansion across from me, maybe we can ask him to hang out after school. You know, give the new kid some friends." She chirped eagerly. "You in?" "Sure." I said after thinking it over. Hanging out with my two best friends and some hot guy can't be that bad right?

"EEEK FILTHY PERVERT!" Across the courtyard we heard a shriek and a slapping noise.

"And speaking of Miroku, here he comes now." Sango laughed. "Hey Miroku, I like that hand imprint your face, covers up most of your ugly." She teased. "Ha-ha, Sango. You're so funny you should write for Dane Cook." Miroku called back as he joined us, his lunch in hand. He sat himself down right next to me, making me the middle of our moron sandwich.

"Why didn't you sit next to Sango?" I asked, "After all you do lo-""I just don't want to catch her stupid." He interrupted, while blushing. I loved teasing him about his flaming hot love for Sango, and her about her own crush on him. Unfortunately they were both too blind to see it. Cliché, isn't it?

"Ahhh snap!" I laughed. "Oh Miroku, that hurts so bad I might run away and spend the rest of my life in a gutter some where crying my eyes out and asking for spare change." She squealed dramatically, but then burst out laughing. I sighed contently. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have such great friends, but how I wish life was a little bit more interesting.

I looked back up to the sky, and saw the golden, amber and crimson leaves falling from the maple tree beside us. Then, out of the periphery of my vision, I saw a strand of silver in the wind. I watched it sparkle and shimmer as it swirled into a spiral and danced until it reached the tree. I stood up and followed it, hearing Sango and Miroku's confused cries in the back of my head.

"Hey Kagome, get your head out of the clouds and come back over here. I need help with integers damn you!" Sango called.

"Forget it, we've lost her." Miroku mumbled. "Here I'll help you."

I slowly approached the tree and looked up. I found a perfect branch to lift myself up. I bit by bit climbed higher, cautious not to let myself fall. I finally climbed as high as my weight would let me and sat on the nearest branch. A gust of wind rattled the crisp leaves around me. I balanced with my legs as I pulled my jacket tighter around me. It was breezy and cool up that high. After of few minutes, I took a deep breath and began my descent. Suddenly, a large gust of wind shook the tree violently. I heard Miroku and Sango below me laughing and shrieking while Sango's' home work flew across the court yard.

The wind startled me and I reached for a tree branch, but missed and I lost my balance. The weakening branch below me cracked, and I tumbled to the ground.

I remember thinking that this was the end. That I would be crushed onto the cold ground, that I would never be able to sleep in my warm bed or laugh so hard that milk squirted out of my nose again. I thought I would die with out a first kiss or love. I closed my eyes and braced for impact.

But I didn't hit the ground. Instead, I landed in some ones arms. I opened my eyes to see a deep cobalt pair staring right back at me. I was speechless. This guy- who ever he was- had just saved my life.

"T-Thank you…?" was really all I muster.

"Uh, no problem… Kagome." He said while putting me back onto my feet. Wait how did he know my name?

We spent what seemed like an eternity looking into each others eyes. The wind swirled around us. Some how I felt like I've been there before, but that was impossible… wasn't it?
