Level 1 Start!

How did this happen?

Why did this happen?

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at the memory, which was prior from two days ago.

Now he turned his head at the living room of his apartment, seeing his mother sitting by the table folding the laundry while their other resident sat on the floor, eyes focused on the TV.

He sighed.

"Uh... are you... ok?"

The girl froze, then jumped back up to her feet, nervously shuffling to look at him. Her eyes were wide open and mouth in a thin line, yet her legs were shaking, and it obviously meant she was caught in the act.

"H...hi?" she squeaked, and he rose an eyebrow. Okay, now something was definitely up.

"What was that UFO from earlier? You know anything about it?"

"U...F...O?" it came out as a mumble, and she gave a thoughtful look before setting her fist on her palm. "Ah! My ship!" she declared, making him do a facefault.

"So you're just openly admitting you're an alien?" Inuyasha didn't know what to expect. From his experience of watching and reading stuff about aliens, they didn't like revealing their identity. But here was one, casually telling him that they're an alien in a sense.

"Why? Is it a rule for earthlings to hide their true identities from each other?" she asked, blinking at him.

"No—but... its not everyday that we get a random UFO just casually landing here and dropping you off." he said. From the looks of it he was beginning to feel a headache from this conversation.

She only giggled. "You earthlings are very strange." Then suddenly, her eyes directed to his appearance. Before he knew it she was now closer than ever, looking around him with curiosity.

"Uwaaa! Do all earthlings have white hair like you? Its so pretty! Wait, are you a demon? But... you look like a human... I'm confused." she wondered, and he wanted to laugh at her state.

"Well, I'm neither. I'm a half-demon, and a half-human." he explained and she gasped.

"Half? Amaaaaazing!" she exclaimed, and he almost facefaulted. That was the first time anyone had called him amazing for being a half-demon, let alone an alien saying it to him.

"People around me here say otherwise. My status as a half-demon doesn't really make my existence easier." he admitted. She stopped grinning for a while. He got worried that she might change her mind about him for a moment before she resumed her awestruck actions."

But I like you!"

That struck an invisible arrow to his heart.

L...l...like?!

Okay, so maybe she did just say that because she was only admiring him being half-demon. Not because of something else. They just met, for kamisama's sake!

"Uh...thanks." he replied lamely, trying to settle the blush forming on his cheeks. He felt embarrased already. She only smiled at him.

"You have a name?" she asked.

"Y-yeah. I'm Inuyasha." he answered.

"You have a nice name! I like it!"

There was that word again. Like.

Did this alien really immediately like anything she sees?

"How about you? What's your name?"

Her smile dropped for a moment, confused. "My... name? I don't... I don't have a name... I didn't even think about it."

He sweatdropped. Well he couldn't just refer to her as "alien girl" forever. So he thought for a while, before snapping his fingers, grabbing her attention.

"How about I call you... Kagome? I just thought it suited you..." he avoided her eyes, trying go hide his embarrassment.She blinked at him, before grinning widely and jumping up and down with glee.

"I love it! It sounds pretty! Thank you!" she laughed.He looked at her happy form and unknowingly to him, a small smile made its way across him.

Inuyasha sighed, setting the forgotten homework back to the side of his desk and closing his book. Somehow he knew that Kagome needed a place to stay, seeing as she was dropped off to Earth without a proper plan on things (which was kinda expected from an airhead like her, pshaw) so he led himself to agree for her to live with him and his mom, just as long as she didn't cause any trouble that might lead to her identity getting exposed to anyone else. Fortunately his mom immediately liked Kagome and let her stay with them.

Kagome yawned, stretching her arms up. "I'm hungry."

His mother smiled at her, then to her son. "You know what to do."

"Yeah, yeah." he got up from his seat and made his way to the kitchen as Kagome sprang up from the floor and followed him there.

"Can we have curry again? Pleaseee?"

"No."

"Please please please?"

"No. Kagome, you must know that we can't eat the same thing over and over again."

"But curry tastes good! Pleaaaaseee?"

"Still no."

How he managed to get the job of making dinner for this girl was beyond him.
