Chapter Two – Man of Destiny

Kagome was speechless. Never in her still young life has she ever seen such a handsome boy before. Even if she did, none of them could be compared with this boy in front of her. 'Oh my god,' was the only thought that run in her mind. Looking up at his forehead, she gasped at the sight of his blood. 'It must happen as he caught me when I fell. It is my fault.'

"That is a thorn. It must hurt." Kagome said concern lay in her voice. Hearing her concern, he replied, "Do not worry."

Kagome ignored his answer and told him to be still. Then she cooped up his face, her lips against his forehead and she stuck her tongue out licking his wound clean. His eyes widened at her action through Kagome did not see it. Kagome released him when she finished her task, clapped her hands together she smiled at him. "It is fine now."

He did not say anything but only stared at her. Kagome confused, tilted her head and was not aware how cute she looked to him. He chuckled silently making her heart stop beating because of the warm and soothing sound.

"What is your name?" He asked.

"Kagome Higurashi," answered Kagome. "I am a freshman here. Starting today." Kagome told him smiling. He was surprised.

"A transfer student?" He paused and looked at her. "How rare." He mused with a glint in his eyes.

"Wasn't it hard to get in here?" He asked her. Kagome nodded. "Yeah," she agreed. "However, I wanted to come here, so I studied very hard after we moved to this town."

"Why?" He asked and was impressed after the all this school had high expectations of its students. It was not easy to attend this school, for you have to take test to be accepted. Kagome giggled. Kagome smiled and looked at him with tender eyes that a female would look at her love only.

"My parents met each other here," Kagome told him. "They are still deeply in love with each other and I thought I could find my man of destiny here, too."

"So…" Kagome stopped when she noticed he was chuckling at her.

"Man of destiny?" he asked. "Girls like fantasies," he said and chuckled a bit more.

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him and anger built up in her blood. She forced a fake smile and said, "Excuse me..."

Without warning, she whammed her forehead against his.

"You…"

"Do not underestimate me. It is fantasy. I believe my destiny leads to my significant other."

"It is the power girls acquire to love." She smiled - her eyes glowed with determination. His eyes widened then a little, and barely noticeable smile formed on his lips.

"I see. Then…" he approached Kagome, lifting her chin he looked in her eyes. Kagome's cheek slowly but clearly reddened at their closeness

"Can I be your man of destiny, Ka-go-me?" Kagome shivered at his huskily voice. Slowly, he bent head down. His face came closer and closer.

She did not hear anything but her heartbeat. Her heart hammered against her chest and she knew he could hear it as well.

Her eyes now focused on his lips that were dangerously near hers – maybe only half an inch far away. Kagome then squeezed her eyes tightly together.
