Don't own Inuyasha, don't own the picture. You must have seen it! Own the story though and any reviews I may receive. I have found out I enjoy writing drabbles and short chapters, though this is a little long for a drabble. Enjoy.

Sketch 1 - Passion

When Kagome turned 15 she fell down an old well and gained her first two passions. Kagome was only passionate about two things really – Inuyasha and art. With Inuyasha it was more of a romantic passion which developed more or less straight away, whereas with art it was an interest which she entertained with devotion. She gained the passion with art due to a piece she was given for her 15th birthday, that one had nothing to do with the weirdness of the portal to the past. She received no love back from either of her passions but she tried her hardest to stay devoted to both even so. A whole month after turning 15, the devotion paid off.

Her grandfather had encouraged her to enter her art – which was pretty good if she did say so herself into competitions and you may win something which gave you the ego boost you need to promote yourself further. She had heard that you must have passion in your art in order to make a drawing in anyway good. She came up with the perfect solution – drawing Inuyasha, not only did she have passion in art, but also the hanyou himself. He was unique and incredibly lifelike, while people would think she had drawn him purely out of imagination she had actually just drawn him from memory (it was not like she could get him to hold still for a pose).

It placed second out of 8000 entries and her prize was 2 years out of school to attend art classes. If she did well she may be able to put some pieces into an exhibition, and get paid! She could save up to go to college or university if you will. She did not have much to thank the hanyou for, but his unique looks had given her the chance of a lifetime. What is more she would have more free time than she did with school so she could spend more time in the feudal era, her inspiration was here anyway. No more illnesses from grandpa, less grumbling hanyous – less sits about complains to go home, no school! No homework! That was probably the best part.

Inuyasha never learnt the reason behind the huge hug he received one month after meeting the girl. He presumed she was glad to see him; she was still all gooey eyed over his promises to protect her with the blade when Sesshoumaru attacked after all. She planned on him never finding out exactly why she was pleased about that fact because he would probably kill her if he found out what had won her place at the art college. The judges probably laughed so hard they couldn't help but give her the prize. Two hundred thousand yen was not a bad prize at all, (about £1600) but Inuyasha just acted (and sat) so much like a real dog sometimes.

It was endearing in a way. Reminding her just how much of an animal demons could be, and his mouth certainly reflected it. She had seen him scrambling around on the floor catching scents and that just made her laugh more and love him more dearly. She had a passion about animals ever since she met him too, not just dogs, but cats too which is why she adored Buyo so much. You needed to write a title for you picture, a short biography about yourself and a short biography about the picture. You needed to state your inspiration for your idea, and after a short think she decided to write a short storyline to go along with it.

'Demons and half demons do not merely exist in stories, if you look hard enough you will find they walk around in today's world. For some reason, maybe because of posture, maybe ears, this particular hanyou was not hard to indentify at all."

She called it 'he's looking at you!"
