Chapter 1: Kiss on the Hand

My name is Kagome Higurashi. I am 14 Years old. I'm 5 feet and 2 inches tall. I have long black hair, green eyes, and a small figure.

Today this amazingly cute boy, Hojo-kun, walked with me to all of my classes! He held my books and talked with me as we walked all over the school. It was so darling, as my grandmother would say. We laughed and joked as we talked about our friends and family. Surprisingly our friends were nowhere to be seen, not that I noticed at the time. He was such a gentlemen!

Oh my I forgot to tell you what he looks like! I'm so sorry; please forgive me Yuuki-san! He has brown hair in a semi-short hair cut; goes to about his eye-brows in the front, stops at the beginning of his neck in the back. He's got brown eyes, like most Japanese, and he's about 5 foot 6 inches. While he's not hugely tall he's still bigger than me.

At lunch, we sat together and discussed what we were going to do when we got home. I told him I was going to work around the shrine, then cram as hard as possible for the test tomorrow in Mathematics, my worst subject. He then stated that it wouldn't be right of him not to help me with my work at home. Blushing I replied that, if he wanted to help out, he was more than welcome to. So after school he walked me home, carrying my book bag, talking about how some root made a great medicine for cuts. You see along with his great looks, Hojo-kun wants to be a doctor.

Anyways when we got to my house, we went straight up to my room to study, now I have never been embarrassed of my room before, but as he walked into my very pink room I decided that my room was, indeed, too pink. We immediately got to studying, which we did for an hour, without him mentioning my rooms overly pinkness. I then looked at the time and said, "Hojo-kun, this has been very helpful to me, I think I will pass the test now, without a doubt. Since that has been said, I think we should now work on organizing some stuff in the shrine storage, if you wouldn't mind helping out." He agreed and we set out to work on shrine storage.

About an hour and a half later (90 minutes later) mama called us into the house for dinner. Dinner was delicious, as always, and my mom even made sushi! Hojo-kun constantly commented mama's cooking, so much I decided the way to his heart would be wrapped in seaweed.

After dinner, Hojo and I sat under Goshinboku, the holy tree, and talked for a little while. All of a sudden the door slides open, revealing grandfather in priest robes with Sutras in his hand. All of a sudden he starts coming towards us, I turn to Hojo and say in a quick whisper, "Hojo, run." He looks puzzled for a second before noticing the look on grandfathers face, he then stands up and bolts away for grandfather. Then Grandfather decides to, amazingly, run after him. I was horrified at the time, but looking back on it, it was the funniest thing I think I've ever seen!

Then it happened, Grandpa tackled hojo while slapping sutras on him screaming "DIE DEMON!!!!" my mama then comes out and says a quick "oh dear, not this again" before running over to pull grandfather off of poor hojo-kun. After that I took Hojo to the wash room to clean the green sticky slime off of him.

Poor Hojo looked horrible, or as bad as he can look, as he said he needed to go home now. I was amazed that he was even… smiling! I walked him to the shrine steps, where he got down on one knee and took my hand in his. He looked up at me with those big brown eyes and said: "Kagome Higurashi, I came here today to find out if I really liked you and was not just attracted to you by your looks. From walking in the halls with you, to getting attacked by your Grandfather (chuckle) I have not changed my mind about you at all. In fact if it's even possible, I think I like you more. "He then kissed my hand, stood up, and whispered in my ear; "in fact, I may even adore you."

So this is my first rule: A kiss on the hand means he adores you, even after getting attacked by your crazy grandpa.
