America, as I half expected, was completely different from what I was used to. But Ayame and I adjusted pretty well; we even got roomed together, much to my joy.
Currently I was studying for a psych test and Ayame was at Lacrosse practice. So I was pretty much left to my own devices for a while, not that I minded. Taking a reprieve from the studying I decide to take a walk around campus. I hadn't had much time to explore since I had got here 3 months ago.
Neatly stacking my books on my desk, I grab my room key and slip on my white flip-flops before heading out the door. It was August here, so it was still warm out.
The wind was blowing lightly causing the leaves to stir minutely. The one thing I could say for Massachusetts was it wasn't lacking in the beautiful landscape. It was so green, like Japan, just different types of greenery. During my walk I find a park in the center of the campus and sit down on one of the few benches. I was so relaxed that my eyelids started to droop; a flash of silvery/white caught my attention, all tiredness forgotten.
'It couldn't be him, could it?'
I wanted it to be him yet at the same time pleaded it wasn't.
Scanning the area to see if I could spot the owner of that unique hair, then I spotted him.
It wasn't the him I was expecting but someone who looked similar minus the furry triangles that sat upon his head.
'I wonder who he is.' I was curious, I wouldn't deny it.
He was the first guy to catch my attention since…Sesshomaru.
Gathering all my courage to go over and introduce myself, I slowly make it to the building he had sat by.
"Hi" 'wow Kagome that sounded really lame'
I didn't have time to finish scolding myself, when he turned to acknowledge me his piercing gold eyes held me captive.
"Hey" he said with his hand extended, "My names Inuyasha, what's yours?"
My brain was still held up on his eyes, I was staring like a fool but at that moment I didn't care.
"Hello?" he waved a clawed hand in front of my face.
"Oh yeah sorry, my names Kagome" I said slightly embarrassed.
His eyes seemed to light up with recognition which was weird because I had never met the guy before.
"Do you go here?" I asked, now on guard.
"Yeah I just started." He replied.
"I thought you had to wait until the next semester to join"
"Well honestly my mom's kind of rich so they let me in after she made a donation." He said sheepishly.
"Oh"
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"Do you want to go grab something to eat, I'm starving." He asked, breaking the quiet.
Well what am I going to do I just met the guy and he sent me a little bit of a creepy vibe but maybe he's just nervous.
"Yeah, that would be great" I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
"So if you don't mind me asking what's your last name?" I had to know if he was related to Sesshomaru.
"Namida, yours?" he replied smoothly.
"Higurashi, are you from Japan as well?" His eyes did that thing again.
Snapping out of it quickly he replied, "Originally yes, I've lived state side for a while now."
His golden eyes remained trained on me.
"Kagome Higurashi, that's a beautiful name", he said coolly.
I flushed like an idiot.
A smirk touched his rugged face.
I was happy to know he wasn't related to Sesshomaru, which would have just been plain weird if he was.
"So Kagome, would you like to go out with me sometime?"
'Oh my goodness, he was asking me out on a date.' My poor brain didn't know how to process the insane idea of someone asking me out.
What did I have to lose, I had been telling myself to move on and get over the idea of being with Sesshomaru.
"That would be great Inuyasha" a light shade of pink tinting my cheeks.
