CHAPTER 2.
Her life had been perfect after her father got arrested.
She had great friends, an awesome boyfriend, a good job, a roof over her head, her grades was passing decent, what more could she ask for?
A father that didn't want to kill her, perhaps, or maybe a living mother, but those were things she would never have, so she saw no point in pining.
Even now, her life was fine. Sure, she didn't have Inuyasha anymore, but that was okay.
Then why did she feel so… empty. She felt like she was just... existing. Not really living.
She sighed, and dragged herself off the beanbag, making her way to the bathroom for a shower before school.
She came out of the shower, her hair dripping a trail of water to her bed, where her clothes were.
She wiped her body, and changed into an olive green skirt, and a white cotton t-shirt. The pink panel on the front had pale yellow daisies printed on it.
Grabbing an apple and her book bag, she walked out the door, locking it behind her.
She waited on her porch for about a minute, munching on her apple, and then a guy with white hair pulled up on a midnight blue Ninja.
She smiled as she ran over to him."Morning, Sesshoumaru!" she chimed, climbing on.
"Hn. What's so good about it?" he muttered.
This was their daily ritual.
Sesshoumaru would come to pick up Kagome for school, as she was in his year, and Inuyasha had to pick up Kikyou.
She would say something cheerily, and he would say something scathing back to her.
Then she would proceed to reprimand him.
Though he was in for a small surprise today, for she replied, "Hm. Good question. I'm feeling a bit down today too." as she climbed on behind him.
He started the bike, and they were off.
He felt her slender arms wrap themselves around his waist, and just like every other day, he felt the hysterical jolt of euphoria.
She couldn't see him from under both their helmets, so he allowed himself a smile. More like a blissful grin.
They chatted about random things until he pulled up into the school parking lot.
He rode to their usual spot, and parked the bike, and Kagome climbed down.
Sesshoumaru swung his leg over the bike, and gracefully took his place beside Kagome.
"Shall we go?" she asked, smiling.
He just started to walk.
She smiled at his receding figure, and followed.
His presence had always lifted her spirits.
