"They're mine!! ALL MINE!!!"

Chapter 1 - Chance Meeting
"Ahhhh! Sota! Stop messing around! Where did you put my uniform?!"
The normally graceful form of Kagome awkwardly bent over to look under a desk. Her little brother, Sota hid behind his bedroom door clutching the stolen uniform. He tried unsuccessfully to stifle his snickers as he watched Kagome's unflattering squat by the desk.
*I REALLY don't need this..* She thought.
Hearing the muffled sounds coming from the door, Kagome stomped over, flinging it aside, revealing the crouched figure of her brother clutching the crumpled uniform in his dirty little fist. She made a grab for him, but just missed.
"AH!" he squealed, ducking her hand. He ran from the room leaving her mistreated uniform on the floor at her feet. She picked it up and dusted it off.
"Sota! I'd better not see you when I get home!" she called after him.
She dressed quickly and flew down the steps, stopping briefly to grab a piece of toast from the kitchen, and dashed out the door. She'd promised to meet up with Sango for Bad mitten practice and she was already late thanks to Sota.
"But you forgot your--," was all Mrs. Higurashi got out before she heard the door slam shut, "--lunch!"
*Oh, I can't believe I'm late!! Sango's going to kill me!* she thought, running down the street.
Kagome winced at the thought of Sango's face when she arrived late last time.
"That's NOT going to happen." she assured herself aloud.
Kagome picked up speed as she neared a street intersection. Hurriedly glancing either way she was sure nothing was coming until----
*SMACK*
She collided with something in a painful clash of flesh and metal. Hitting the pavement in a crumpled heap, Kagome felt herself roll several times before coming to a stop.
"OoOoOo....." she was regaining consciousness. As her eyes began to focus they settled on a mangled racing bike resting just feet away from her.
*So I guess that's what I hit..* She thought, rubbing her head.
She began to push herself off the ground when she realized she was lying on something incredibly warm and soft. Startled, she looked down and found herself nearly nose to nose with someone!
He was unconscious, but his breathing was strong and even. She could feel it against her neck as she lay there on top of him, paralyzed. His heart pounded against her chest as her eyes traced his face. He had the most beautiful, long, black hair and his jaw was strong.
*He's so handsome..*Where did THAT come from?*
"Hmm..." he stirred.
*He's waking up* she thought, staring at him.
"What?" Kagome whispered.
"Gehmmmm.........." he mumbled louder.
Kagome moved in closer, anxious to hear what he was trying to say, and blushed slightly. She'd never been this close to a boy before.
"What is it?" She ventured again.
She gasped as his deep lavender eyes fluttered open. For a moment, they stayed just like that, mirroring each other in their eyes. Kagome watched as something flickered across his face, but it disappeared as quickly as it had come and anger took its place.
"Get off me Wench!"
Kagome shook at the unexpected harshness of his voice and unconsciously dug her fingernails into his shoulders.
"OW! Wench! Are you deaf!? I said get off me!!"
He sat up suddenly, pushing Kagome off onto his side. She sat there, shocked.
"What the hell did you think you were doing!!" he yelled at her, waving his arms.
She didn't know what to say. She just stared back at him blankly before turning her gaze onto the broken remains of his bike.
"What?" he followed her gaze behind him. "My bike!!" he exclaimed, rushing to the side of his destroyed property.
Kagome suddenly found her voice.
"What do you mean, 'My bike!'? What about me, huh?" she yelled at him. Her hands rested on her hips.
"What ABOUT you?" he spat, eyeing her angrily, "YOU broke my bike! You destroyed it!!" He kneeled, stoking the metal shards that were left.
"Well if you hadn't been going a million miles an hour-------!" Kagome began defensively.
"Don't try to make this all my fault!" he turned to took at her. "If you'd just stopped and looked both ways you would have seen me coming!"
"I DID look both ways!" Kagome could feel the heat rising in her cheeks. Who was this guy? He hit her with his bike and now he was yelling at her!?
"Feh!" he crossed his arms and turned his back on her, intent on mourning the recent loss of his bike.
She turned her head.
Neither of them wanted to speak to the other. All the while though, Kagome caught him glancing over his shoulder at her.
He turned once again and gave her a curious look. She hadn't moved from her place on the asphalt where he had shoved her earlier, and he noticed how scared and disheveled she appeared, her sparkling charcoal hair was mussed about her azure eyes which had filled with tears, and she was shaking slightly.
*I must have really hurt her...* he thought to himself.
Hoping to break the uncomfortable silence, which had formed between them, Kagome extracted a crumpled scrap of paper and a pencil from her skirt and wrote something down. Looking up she found that the boy had turned to face her again and was watching her suspiciously. She handed him the paper.
He took it hesitantly. "What the hell's this for?" He unfolded it to find Kagome's name and address written. He looked back at her questioningly.
"Now you can send me the bill for you bike. I'm really sorry it broke. I was just really in a hurry. I should have paid more attention to what I was doing." she gave him a small smile.
He gaped at her. Was she actually apologizing to him? He regained his usual composure soon enough. "I don't need your damned charity!" He flung the paper back at her.
She looked at him, a hurt expression on her face. "I was only trying to be nice!" she cried.
There was another long period of silence.
"So what's your name anyway?" he asked.
"Who? Me?" she said, surprised, looking to either side of her.
"Stupid girl! Of course I'm talking to you!"
She smiled brightly. "Oh! My name is Kagome. What's yours?"
"Inuyasha." he muttered.
"It's nice to meet you, Inuyasha," she chirped.
"Feh." he said again. "So how are we going to get home?" he asked finally.
"Hmm," Kagome hadn't thought of that yet, "Maybe we can call a taxi?" she began searching her pockets for some change before Inuyasha cleared his throat loudly.
"I don't exactly see hundreds of payphones around here, do you?"
She gave the street a good look for the first time. It was a residential area. There wasn't a payphone for miles.
"Oh. That's right. Well I guess we'll just have to walk then." she sighed.
"Walk!?" he cried.
"Well, you certainly can't ride your bike." she gestured toward his deceased bike.
*She's right* he thought.
He watched as Kagome struggled to get off the ground. "Ouch!" she said before hitting the asphalt again.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked, concern creeping into this voice.
"My ankle," She rubbed it gingerly, "I must have hurt it in the accident."
He rushed to her side and inspected the ankle carefully. It was swollen and purple.
"You really shouldn't walk on that." he diagnosed.
"But how am I supposed to get home?" She certainly wasn't going to sit in the middle of this street all day, hoping a car would drive by.
"Well, I live pretty close to here. I'll take you to my house and you can call your parents from there."
Kagome stared at him. Was this the same guy who'd just been yelling at her? Why was he being so nice all of a sudden?
************************************** Well that's it. That's my first chap. I hope everyone likes it, and if you don't- well, ok. That's fine too. I'm kinda just writing this story for myself b/c writing has always been soothing for me. I'm just posting it for other people to enjoy. So if you wanna read more, tell me. Oh, and sorry, I can't guarantee that all the chaps will be this long. But I'll do my best to update often. Thanks everyone!! Please Review! ^_^ ***************************************
Bubbles1612- So what did you guys think?
Inuyasha- It SUCKED! Since when do I ride bikes? She's the one that rides those contraptions. *Points at Kagome* And I would NOT take her home with me!!
Kagome- Like I would really go with you! I don't even like you! How many times do I have to tell people!!?
Bubbles1612- You do like him. Everyone can tell.
Kagome: I do not!! *blushes*
Inuyasha: *sweatdrops*
