This is my first fanfic, so I know it's not the best in the world. But I tried! And hopefully my fanfics will become better than this one! ^.^

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kouga, etc.. They belong to the very talented Rumiko Takahashi. But there is another character in this story, a fairy/queen/sorceress type lady..so I suppose I own her..? lol

Now..on to the story!

-Awaken to Love-

Chapter 1

--------

"Where is she? She's been gone for 2 days now and she was supposed to come back yesterday!" Inuyasha growled. He was worried, though he would never admit it to anyone. He could barely admit it to himself. He was confused. When did he start caring for Kagome as more than just a friend?

He paced and growled quietly around the well for almost an hour. "Maybe I should go get her..no, I'm not going to, she always gets mad when I do and I don't want to be.." he cringed, "sat.." He sat down beside the well and stared down into it, hoping she would appear soon.

"Mom! Where is my green skirt?" yelled Kagome. "It's in the laundry room, it needs to soak because it was covered in blood and dirt," yelled Kagome's mom from downstairs. 'Well, I guess I'll have to wear something else then,' she thought while beginning to search her closet for some other comfortable clothes. She found a black skirt and a white shirt. "I suppose I'll just wear this then." She looked at the clock, "oh no! I'm late! Inuyasha is going to kill me! But I need to go to the store for some more ramen to take back, I'm sure he can't get mad over that!" Kagome said while running out the door.

It was early in the afternoon, Inuyasha had been sitting there all day waiting for Kagome to return. In the distance he heard a loud smack and a yelp. 'Miroku and Sango.' he thought while smirking. He knew they liked each other, he and Kagome had talked about Sango and Miroku during the nights when they stayed up to talk. He really missed Kagome right now.. He started thinking about her again.

He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the dark cloud hovering over him. His thoughts were finally broken by a crackling noise. He looked up and saw the cloud and before he could even move, everything went dark...

Okay everybody. That's all of chapter 1! Sorry its so short, I promise the other chapters will be longer! ^.^ And I'm almost done writing chapter 2, so it should be up either later today or tomorrow. So thanks for reading my first fanfic! Hope you like it so far!!
