Following my daily regular trail, I made a beeline towards the school library after class was over. I would usually go there during my block schedule to kill some time, also the fact that rarely anyone goes there is a plus. The teacher that was previously in-charge of mentoring the library took notice of my presence and requested me to take over. He even offered to make this count as a class credit unit, so I became the librarian.

I happily pranced through the library towards the nutrition section and pulled out a book that caught my attention. I picked out a big book of medicinal plants and read the summary. It wasn't because I wanted to be a doctor per se, but the subject of medical herb interested me in many ways. Who would had known that plants/flowers that can be seen planted in gardens can be use to heal wounds. I scanned through the pages and slowly got absorbed into it.

The sound of a thub and shuffling papers pulled me back to reality. That's unusual, there was actually someone in here today. Curious of who it was that interrupted my alone time, I followed the angry strings of curses that can be heard softly echoing through the library. Peeking through the bookshelf, I spotted the owner of the foul language. I felt my eyes gaped at the unexpected visitor.

Inuyasha

I looked down at the textbook accompanied by scattered papers surrounding him over the floor. So that explains the loud thub sound from before. The ruffling noise bought my attention back to the person. It was a strange sight to see. I would have never guessed that Inuyasha was a study type of person. He was the type that would be seen either on the field playing football, or lounging around surrounded by friends or fan girls of his. But here he was, all alone in the library. And judging by the forgotten textbook on the floor and the frustrating expression on his face, my guess is that he's studying for tomorrow's math exam.

It hasn't even been 2 hours since that incident in the garden. I never did think twice about what happened, but now seeing Inuyasha here, the memory flashed through my mind. Wondering back, I recalled that he called out a wait when I was running away from him. A guilt feeling slowly built up heavily on my chest as I reminisced back. He did save me from what could had been a awful visit to the nursing room, and I just left so sudden.

I shook off the feeling stubbornly.

I have no reason to feel this way. It's not like I was the one who asked him to save me. I owe him nothing!

With that decision, I willed my feet to directed me back to the counter, but it wouldn't. It felt like my feet was stuck glued to the floor, refusing to go back. Even though my mind was set, it didn't seem like my body agreed when I felt that same feeling of guilt rise again after seeing Inuyasha pulling on his hair in an attempt to comprehend a equation.

Sighing, I walked back to the counter, grabbing my notebook from my bag and walked back towards the frustrated man.

Inuyahsa finally noted my presence when he surprisingly found me hovering over his head.

"Here." I tossed the notebook towards his direction on the table. He blinked stupidly at me and I wanted to roll my eyes.

"It's my notes from math class. It has the context of what's most likely going to be on the exam. It'll be useful." I mumbled quickly. With that finally done, I made a hast speed walk towards the exit. I heard Inuyasha call out a wait once again and like last time, I didn't stop. Now that I've returned the favor, the guilt feeling was gone, and so was I. I'm pretty sure the teacher won't mind me leaving earlier than usual.

I walked over to the area where Sango and I would always meet up over school. I spotted Sango around the corner but it seems that she wasn't alone. Out of nowhere, Sango punched the person and started kicking the already down person. I increased my walk to a running pace getting closer to her.

"What happened?" I asked Sango. Her face was as red as a tomato. Either from anger or embarrassment. Perhaps both.

"THAT happened." She pointed at the figure on the floor. I followed her finger and saw a shocked Miroku with his hand cupped on his injured cheeks. Ahh...knowing how perverted he is, I can pretty much predict what just happened. Miroku is not only known as a huge pervert, but also a glomper.

"You hit me." Miroku stupidly said with a gape mouth.

"What kind of No I don't want to hook up with you do you not understand!"

The look on Miroku's face was priceless. "No one has ever rejected me before."

"Well congratulation on your first rejection."

"Then it's decided. You'll be my next target. I will make you fall in love with me. Just you watch." That comment only served to anger Sango more which lead her to attacking him. After watching amusingly for a good 5 minutes of Sango beating up the pervert, I pulled her away from him. Even though Miroku deserves to get beaten to a pulp, I felt bad for the poor guy. I know from first hand how hard Sango's punches and kicks can be. Also the fact that a crowd was starting to form around us. I pulled her towards our old car and away from the people.

"Just you wait and see." Even though Miroku was still on the ground, he still managed to mumble loud enough for us to hear.

"Like hell that will happen." Sango shouted as we drove pass the lying figure on the floor.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (#゚Д゚) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Wow, now that was something interesting you don't see everyday." I half teased and laughed at my best friend's flushed face.

"That stupid pervert's been bugging me all day today." Sango rolled down the window hoping to air off her heated face.

"So what about you, how was your day?" I sighed at the question. I went into details about the whole incident with the gang up and Inuyasha. I also included the meeting with him at the library.

"Wow what the fuck. Tell me who those girls were. I'll beat the shit out of them for doing that to you."

"It's fine. Besides like I said, I didn't get hurt. Inuyasha came in time to stop them." I tried to calm Sango down. She can get very overprotected over me.

"I swear Kagome, if you didn't have to hide your real self, you could had took out all 5 of them. You're a even better fighter than me." I smiled at the comment.

I don't want to sound exaggerating but it was true. Both Sango and I have been taking karate lessons ever since we hit middle school. We both earned a black belt in karate years ago. It was my way of relieving out all my stress. I'm not the fighting type, but I can kick the shit out of whoever pushing my limit.

"Hell yea! Those bitches doesn't stand a chance if I unleashed my whole self." Sango laughed at that comment. This is why I love Sango so much. I don't have to hide my feeling and thoughts like I did at school. That was how we became friends. Sango can always tell through my lies, and my true nature automatically comes out whenever I'm with her.

The rest of the drive home was fulled with a relaxing joyful mood.

I exit out the school building with a happy mood. Why you ask? I found a new isolated area, it's located at the back of the school and towards the same garden I was ganged up on. But instead of stopping there, you journey deeper into the forest. There has been dozens of rumors of it being hunted, but I don't care much about them. Of course it can be a tad dark and creepy, but what's beyond that was magical. After about a 5 minute walk through the forest, a bright light can be seen indicating that the destination was just ahead. There was another garden behind the forest. The scenery was simply breath taking. There was a mini river that calmly flows and I was able to spot some herbs I saw in the medicinal book. It was such a calm and peaceful place. I made a habit of going there every time I have free time in school. I couldn't wait till my block schedule.

Halfway done the stair, I spotted the popular group including Inuyasha and his usual gang. I averted my eyes away from them and tried to blend in with the crowd. I guess that didn't work so well when I felt a pair of eyes following my move.

"Hey you, wait." I picked up my pace when I heard Inuyasha call out. 'It's not me he's calling out to. It can't be. Just continue walking Kagome.' I reassured myself. Guess I was wrong when I felt a hand grasp my shoulder forcing me to stop.

"Not this time. You sure do like to do the opposite of what I say, huh. You always run away even when I said to wait." I turned around to come face to face with a smiling Inuyasha. I gave a questionable expression to him. He grabbed a notebook out from his bag.

"Here, gotta return this to ya. It was pretty helpful. Thanks." I looked back up and saw the popular group staring down towards us including Kikyo.

"No problem." I quickly grabbed the notebook out of his grasp and turned to make my exit but was stopped. I looked down at Inuyasha's hand that was gripping at my elbow.

"Wait, can I at least know what's your name?" I was shocked hearing that request but recovered quickly when I notice Kikyo approaching near us.

"What's the matter darling, who is she?" Kikyo clung onto Inuyasha arms in a manner of 'back off, he's mines.'with that fake smile on her face.

"I have to go, bye." I shook off Inuyasha's hand and continued down the stairs.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Concert ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

In the dressing room, I watched as the assistant quickly but skillfully apply makeup on Kikyo. After the assistant left, it was just the 2 of us. Kikyo finally turned towards me with a huge frown on her face. Oh I had a feeling this was going to happen sooner or later.

"So, what's your relationship with Inuyasha?" Kikyo bitterly asked.

"Nothing." I answered.

"Then why did he leave when I was in the middle of talking to him to go to you?" A tiny smirk spread across my face. The feeling of happiness swelled around my stomach. I had something that Kikyo wanted. So Kikyo was just mad because she didn't have Inuyasha's full attention on her.

"I don't know. I think he might had mistaken me for someone else." I lied.

"Tsk that's probably the reason why. There's no way someone like you will ever get noticed. Anyways, stay away from Inuyasha. He's mines!" With that said, Kikyo strode out of the dressing room.

Way to dampen my mood before the concert. Sigh.

I've noticed how often I've been sighing lately. It can't be a healthy sign. Adjusting my mic, i followed Kikyo 's path out of the room.

I enjoyed the sunny weather while sitting down on the grass near the clear river. The garden was so peaceful that I could have taken a nice nap. Instead of doing that, I grabbed my bag and took out a notebook. Grabbing a pen and opening to a free page, I started to finish my half written lyrics. I never was too big with Kikyo's songs, and she was never fond of my style; so I tend to write lyrics on my notebook during free times for the fun of it. Writing lyrics is a way for me to spill all my hidden emotion into words. It's also a way for me relieve stress too. However unlike karate, creating songs was a way for relaxing my mind mentally. Guess it was just another one of my hobbies. Occasionally I would record some of my favorite songs on my phone and use is as a mp3 player.

"Hey."

I jumped up when the sudden voice frightened me. I looked up at the tree to the owner of the voice. The person was sitting on a thick branch on a high tree. The glare from the sun made it difficult to see the face of the intruder.

"Who's there?" I shouted with anger. Dang it, this place was suppose to be a secret that only I knew about. There goes my peaceful paradise.

The figure jumped down from the branch. "Nice seeing ya again." I eyeballed the face of the stranger with mixed emotion.

Fuck! why is it that I keep running into Inuyasha.
