(Kagome: four)
(Inuyasha:Six)
Playing in a sand box Kagome, at age four took a small shovel digging up some said to make a square so she could build her castle, and become a princess. She smiled at the thought and hummed to herself as she patted sand down. Glancing up to find her mother on a bench reading a book keeping an eye on her every once and a while she looked up from her book with a smile and waved. Giggling she waved happily back at her mother. Hearing a thump she jumped looking over to a boy who face planted right in the middle of her makings of her castle. Placing her hands on her hips she sighed. "Hey! Why did yo-" Being caught off in mid sentence by laughing. She looked to the left and then the right finding three boys finding it hilarious that a boy was head first in the sand.
"Hey, Inuyasha! You know that just because your heads in the sand we can still see you." One laughed and another boy fell over laughing so hard holding his ribs.
Looking back at the boy in the sand she frowned seeing his silver, almost white hair and as soon as he shook off the sand she saw two ears on top of his head. Eyes growing wider she smiled wanting to touch them. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked standing up and reached a hand out to wipe some of the sand out of his hair.
"Don't touch me!" The boy yelled keeping his head down trying to wipe the sand off his red shirt. Pulling her hand back she turned to the laughing boys then realized one looked just like him, but he wasn't nearly as cute. Instead his ears were pointed and a crescent moon was stamped on his forehead. 'A demon.' She thought and reached out her hand to point.
"You! Stop that." She warned, and by then Kagome's mother was already approaching.
"Kagome, is something wrong?" She asked noticing the boy in the box with her. Reaching out she picked up Kagome holding her in her arms. Kagome resisted, but she was soon wrapped in her mother's arms.
"Those boys pushed him into my castle!" Kagome argued against being held she pulled from her mother's grasp.
"Okay, come on Kagome, I think it's time to go home." Kagome's eyes teared as she looked at the boy still shaking the sand off of him.
"But... but..." She sniffled watching the boys angrily who still laughed at the boy, and herself.
"See, Inuyasha. Even little girls cry at the sight of you." The youngest said who still had to be at least two years older than the poor boy known as Inuyasha. Feeling her mother stop she turned to see what she saw, and it was beautiful. A man with long silver hair that flowed in the wind, and the woman next to him looked average compared to him.
"Inuyasha." The woman said running over to the boy and wrapping him in her arms. "Boys! Stop this right now!" She yelled holding her child to her chest.
"Your mother's right!" The man roared. "Stop this issue with your brother."
"That thing is not my brother." The one with silver hair in the pack said quietly. "and that thing is not my mother!" With that he turned and left. The others hesitantly followed him, but soon they were all gone. Looking at his wife he sighed.
"I'm sorry..." The woman whispered into Inuyasha's hair. "Are you okay." The boy shook his head and pushed away from his mother walking past his father looking down at the ground. Kagome and her mother watched as he walked past him, he looked up once to see her, but then quickly looked away. Kagome pushed at her mother wanting down. She whined and groaned until she got what she wanted. Once her feet hit the ground she ran for the boy, Inuyasha.
"Kagome..." Her mother yelled trying to reach her, but she just made it out of her hands reach. Running to the boy she grabbed his hand pulling him to a stop.
"Hi." She smiled a toothy grin missing one of her baby teeth he looked up at her and couldn't help but smile at how silly she looked. "I'm Kagome."
"Inuyasha.." She nodded and smiled.
"Would you like to play with me?" He looked back at his mother and father, and her mother looking at them. Hesitantly he nodded.
"Alright..." Kagome smiled a larger grin if possible and pulled him back to the sandbox. "Come on. I'm making a castle. You can help me." She had no fear of him or what he was. His mother and father stood up stepping away from the box staring in awe. Kagome's mother walked over to the couple with a warm smile as she folded her arms.
"You don't mind, do you?" Kagome's mother asked noticing their shocked faces. Izayoi smiled warmly and shook her head.
"No, not at all. You..." Kagome's mother just smiled and extended her hand.
"I'm Kun-Loon, and that is my daughter Kagome."

Walking out of the school building Kagome looked around waiting for her friend. 'Silver hair... silver hair...He told me he would walk me home after school...' She thought to herself as she looked threw the crowd to find Inuyasha. 'Bingo!' Waving her arms back and forth to him she smiled glad that her adult teeth had come in now so she didn't have the gaps anymore. Running to the boy she stopped when she was right in front of him. "You came!" She grinned.
"I told you I would walk you home." He smiled back and took her hand. "Come on!" Many of the students watched them leave in amazement a girl was with a half breed. They were known to have the worst tempers. Even more so than the full bloods.
"Okay!" She ran next to him trying to keep up, but between the weight of her backpack and her short little legs she couldn't keep up. "Slow down!" Laughing at him as he stopped and she ran into him.
"Your so slow." Shaking his head with a laugh and she nodded.
"I am!" Laughing some more trying to catch her breath. "Let's walk."
"Fine." Whining he nodded and kept her hand in his and walked next to her. "How was your first day of school?" He asked seeing the park in view now and smiled.
"Great! I told all my friends about you!" Excitement in her voice he stopped.
"Why..." Asking hesitantly.
"Cause your my friend." Shrugging as if that was the best reason ever. "Best friends." She smiled and it was contagious cause he smiled back. It was a great way to end the first day of school for Kagome. Kindergarten was a lot of fun, but she couldn't wait to get off to play with Inuyasha. One year had passed and she found him to be the best at everything.

(Kagome:Nine)
(Inuyasha:Eleven)
Walking into the shrine like so many time he had done before it was quiet. Too quiet. "Kagome.." He hollered wondering if everything was okay, but something felt wrong finding the steps to her room he slipped off his shoes and walked up the stairs and down to the end of the hall. Finding her door shut he knocked lightly and let himself in. Kagome was rolled in a ball holding a pillow to her chest. Smelling sat he knew she had been crying and desperately wanted to know what what's wrong. Who harmed her... Feeling his entire body stiffen at his thought. If someone even thought of hurting her... This girl... Walking over to the bed not being able to help himself anymore he sat on the edge of the bed. He laid a hand on her shoulder and she jumped startled she sat up quickly. Jumping at her reaction he stood up to back away from her.
"Kagome." He said trying to calm her down, but the tears were already streaming down her face. "Wha'ts wrong?" He asked quietly making his way back to the bed. Hick-upping words that were incoherent he shook his head not being able to make out her jumble. "What is it.. Mom, Souta... Grandpa?" She shook her head at each one, and then it dawned on him. "Your dad..." he whispered and she nodded sniffling. "What happened?" Throwing herself at him she held onto him and wept. He awkwardly patted her back trying to be comforting like his mother would when he were sad.
After a long while and a soaked shirt she finally pulled away from him. "Dad wanted to come home and surprise Momma. He even had flowers... He was in a car accident." Shaking her head she sat back pulling her legs up to her to hug herself.
"Is he..." Not being able to look at her he stared at the floor not sure how to handle something like this... She nodded and even though he didn't see the movement he knew already her answer.
"I'm sorry Kagome... Do you want to be left alone?" It would kill him a little if she said yes, but he wasn't exactly the best person for this kind of thing.
"Please..." He nodded and stood, but then she grabbed his hand. "Please, don't go." Sniffling she looked up and him as he looked at her and their eyes met and he felt her pain.
"Okay." Sitting back down. "Where did Momma and Grandpa go? I didn't get any sutras thrown at me today." With that she let out a choked laughed and nodded.
"Hospital. They took Souta too." It got quiet in the room, but it felt so comfortable. Not being alone, and feeling wanted..No, needed. It felt amazing even though the circumstances weren't the best he really felt at home... Only meeting Kagome's father once he seemed really nice. Shook his hand like he was a man and greeted him with a smile. His face had plenty laugh lines and showed he smiled a lot, and made everyone around him smile along with him. Being a few years older than his wife he had gray hairs spread out threw his jet black ones, and his warm hazel eyes were the exact ones Kagome owned. He only made it around holidays and special events being in the military made it hard to be around, but he never brought his rough military background home. He smiled at the memory of him coming home when he was over. He grabbed his wife like he hadn't seen her for years, and held his baby boy like he knew him for his entire life.
"He is a great guy." He mumbled thinking aloud.
Kagome nodded and leaned over to lay her head on his shoulder. "He was. Wasn't he."

Covering his ears as he shook his head he watched her mouth fly like she was saying a hundred words an hour. "I'm not listening."
"Oh come on." He made out when she pulled at his hands and laughed when he gave in and let go that sent her flying on her bottom.
"No, I refuse."
"Puh puh pleeease!" Kagome batted her eyes. "I'll get you some ice cream." She said in a sing song voice, and with a sigh he found himself sitting outside in their park eating his favorite ice cream on a pair of swings that were next to each other as she rambled on and on about a boy.
"Why don't you get your girl friends to talk about these things... Not...me..." He whined having blocked out most of what she was saying anyways. 'Blah blah Hojo... Blah blah cute blah blah...'
Shrugging she took a bite out of her cone. "Why do you like playing sports with me even though you know you will have to let me win." Looking up from her cone with a smile. "Because we both know I can't hit a ball if my life depended on it."
Glaring at her he grumbled. "I don't know I'd say you can have a good shot when you want to." Still bitter against the one hit she got a hit off of a baseball. Having gotten so excited she threw her bat as she twirled and the bat hit him square between the eyes.
Waving her hand she grinned. "Oh, come on! Your still not hurt about that are you! I said I was sorry a year ago." Finishing off her cone she gently knocked into him with her shoulder. "Get over it already." She teased and sighed looking up. "It's getting dark out. I should head home.."
"Alright. I'll walk you home." She scooted off the swing and smiled up at him.
"Thanks. So, what do you think I should do about Hojo?" Groaning he turned walking away from her towards her house. "Oh, come on! You must have some thoughts about it." Letting him walk a few feet away from her before she sighed and ran for him grabbing his hand so he would walk next to her instead of ahead of her.
"Oh, I dunno Kags." He sighed not really have paid attention to the obsession of a conversation he had no input. "I say... Go with your gut." He nodded feeling proud of that quick one.
"Go with my gut..." Sighing she nodded. "Right." The rest of the walk was quiet and once she arrived at the bottom of the shrine steps she smiled. "What do you think the sun says to the moon?"
Pausing he tilted his head and shrugged. "You think of the weirdest things. See ya next time around? I don't know." Shaking his head he patted her head. "Night Kags. See you tomorrow?"

A small crack noise was at her window. Kagome raised out of bed. "Hmm?" She moaned and looked around. Hearing another small crack like noise she got up walking to her window. Opening it up the young girl smiled. "Inuyasha!" She whispered happily. "What are you doing?" She said as she opened up her window fully. The boy dropped all the small pebbles in his hand and crouched down pushing his weight up he was like a flash of lightning, and there he was at the seal of her window.
"Can I come in?" He asked with a smirk.
"Of course." She said with a grin.
Stepping into her room he looked around as she just watched in amazement.
"What are you doing here?" She asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
Shrugging he walked over to her bed and sat down. "Couldn't sleep." He said with another shrug.
"So, you decided since you couldn't sleep then I can't either?" She said with a small laugh. Walking over to him she sat next to him patting his back.
"Well, your welcome here whenever you can't sleep." She said with a smile.
"Yeah?" He asked with a smirk.
"Yeah, I'll even leave the window open for you." She said as she patted his back the crawled around him to crawl under the blankets. "Come on. Why don't you try to sleep now? I'll rub your back." She said as she patted the bed next to her. Shrugging he laid down on his stomach next to her. Slowing rubbing his back she smiled when she heard a small snore escape from his lips. His left ear twitched and she had to hold in a small laugh before she soon drifted to sleep.
The next morning came too quickly to an alarm clock buzzing and as she tried to reach it she was blocked. Opening her eyes she came face to face with an angry looking Hanyou. Her body jumped before she remembered that he stayed the night. She smiled and patted his head then found a way around him.
"Time to get ready." She whispered hoping she didn't have horrible morning breath not that she cared too much, but she wouldn't want to smell her breath in the morning either.
"I don't wanna." Closing his eyes he snuggled into her blankets and stretched out his legs. Shaking her head she pushed herself up from the bed and sat on her legs.
"That's a great idea! Don't go to class. Fail two grades, and then." Placing her hands on her face for effect. "We'll be in the same class." Her excitement got a very small movement from him, even just an ear twitch was a good sign. "Up up up!" She pulled the blankets with her and left him to go shower, and when she returned to grab her uniform he was gone. She smiled at her window that was still cracked.

Hearing a horn Kagome slowly moved from the couch and her bag of popcorn to the door of the shrine. Peeking her head out she saw a flashy new looking red convertible with a familiar looking dog boy in the driver's seat. She jumped up and down before not even bothering with shoes darted down the shrine stairs to the shiny new toy.
"Oh my KAMI!" She squeaked as he got out of the car and walked around to greet her. "Did your dad get you that!" She pointed keeping the hand just an inch away from it so she wouldn't touch it. Being so shiny and amazing she was afraid to touch it.
"Early graduation present." He shrugged and grinned with a glint in his eye. "Wanna go for a ride?" jingling the keys a few times her eyes were quickly attracted to the shiny objects.
"Yeah!" She was in the car before he could even give the keys one more jingle.
"That was easier than I thought." He laughed and turned to walk around and get in on the drivers side. Looking over at her he laughed. "Are you going in that?" He asked gesturing to her clothing.
"Yeah, wha..." She laughed at her night checkered shorts and plain white tee, and not to mention she forgot shoes in her excitement. "Should I?" She looked over at him scrunching her nose and shaking her head 'no.'
He followed her head. "Nope. Just ride around in a topless car where anyone can see you in your pajamas." Nodding she looked forward.
"Alright, then what are we waiting for! Take me away!" Throwing up her arms like she was in a roller coaster he started the car letting it purr before taking off.
After driving around town for an hour or so stopping to get some ice cream he parked laying back in his cars seat. "Hey, Kagome?"
"Hm?" She asked turning her head from the nights sky to look at him.
"Does it ever bother you.. That I'm not human?" Laughing she turned her body towards him with a smile.
"Does it bother you that I'm only human?" Turning the question on him with a grin, but when he looked at her she knew he wasn't being silly.
"Not at all." Reaching out stroked his cheek.
"Then why should it bother me? Your way cuter than human boys anyways." Teasingly she ran her hand up to one of his ears and lightly pulled on it to prove a point. Smacking her hand away he laughed not thinking anything of her comment. After being together for as long as they have nothing surprised him anymore. Well, mostly nothing. Looking back at the stars he sighed closing his eyes thinking about the day he couldn't help but smile. "What are you thinking about?" Interrupting his train of thought he answered truthfully.
"I was thinking that today has to be one of the best days of my life." Opening his eyes he looked over to see her looking at him with a smile. "Today, Sesshomaru was kicked out, mom and dad are leaving for business tonight so I'll have the home to myself tonight, and I've got this awesome car." Shrugging he nodded. "Life feels kinda great right now."
Kagome smiled but tilted her head ."I think you forgot something." Pointing to herself she shrugged. "Your spending time with the best friend in the whole wide world."
"Yeah, and who would that be?" He teased moving quickly when her hand reached for him.
"Hey! No fair. You know you have to slow down when your around me." Pouting as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"So you can pull my ears? I think not." Putting out her bottom lip he sighed and leaned over so his head was practically in her lap. "Fine." Grumbling as he gave into that look she gave that he couldn't resist. She did a better puppy dog eyes than he could, and that just wasn't right. She smiled and instead of pulling his ear she took the closet one and rubbed it gently. Even thought he wouldn't admit it he loved his ears rubbed his head bobbed and soon he couldn't resist. He was laying across the shift with his head in her lap. Smiling she looked down at him as she moved from his ear to his cheek tracing his face along the way.
"Inuyasha. Your adorable. You know that?" In a low voice she watched his eyes open to her voice to look at her. Tracing his eyebrows and then his cheek bones, down his noes, lastly his lips. Once, then twice she circled them not realizing she was moving closer to him, and before she knew it he raised up pressing his lips to hers. Shocked at the sudden movement she went still, but as soon as she realized his warm lips were pressed against her own her eyes closed, and he pulled away before she could even enjoy the moment.
Sitting straight up he was quiet for a long minuet before he cleared his throat. "I.. uhm. I'm sorry." He whispered as he started the car. "I should take you home. It's getting late." Looking at him she could only nod before whispering back.
"I'm not." Nodding she sat her seat back up and buckled up. The drive home was quiet and long. Drawn out feeling like she should say something... anything. Her heart couldn't stop racing, and her lips burned. Raising a hand to her lips she smiled before she let her hand drop. "You said your parents were gone?" She asked quietly needed to fill the void.
"Yeah, they left probably an hour a go." Pulling up to the front of her shrines steps he looked over at her.
"Would you mind... If I came over later?" Glancing up at him she blushed and smiled not knowing why she felt so giddy. Never feeling awkward or uncomfortable around him before she loved the feeling.
"No. Isn't it late?"
Shrugging before she answered as her head turned to the shrine. "I thought maybe I could have a sleep over. Maybe watch that movie that I rented for us."
"Alright." Not seeing that it would be a big deal. 'It's not like anything has changed... I'm sure she doesn't even see you like that... More than a friend that is... Your the best friend...' His heart sunk at his words circling his mind. "Sounds fun."
Nodding she got out shutting the door behind her. "Give me ten minutes to get a change of clothing and tell Momma your dropping me off at a friends house." Winking she turned to run the stairs and like she promised she returned changed into a pair of pants and a tank top with a small overnight bag. Rejoining him with movie in hand she grinned. "Anyone asks I'm at Sango's." Smiling as he drove off at her slightly different idea than a movie in mind. They had the entire house to themselves and their was one thing she wouldn't mind trying with him. Her best friend...
Ranting on and on about the movie and how it was supposed to be super scary like she always did hyping up the movie way more than it deserved. He was glad to see that nothing had changed, maybe she wasn't even thinking or worried about the kiss... He, on the other hand couldn't stop thinking about it. Her fingers on his skin, right before his lips touched hers... The feeling... did she not feel it too... Walking her to the door to his home he unlocked it to let her in and as soon as the door was open she flung herself at him. Wrapping her arms around him and he couldn't resist but doing the same... It felt soo very right.
...
..and he softened all over. His demon purred and calmed crawling down to the back of it's cage. Opening her eyes with tears as her childhood memories flooded her all at once she soon met Golden orbs once again. Pulling himself up he looked down at her body underneath his own confused as ever as he looked around wondering how in the world he ended up in the shower room... with Kagome. A naked Kagome...
"Kagome?" His voice sounded hoarse even to him, and she closed her eyes tightly letting her arms fall to wrap around her naked body, and she shook. The tears came and she couldn't stop them. She had missed him so much.
