Finally up! Are you guys happy with me?
Okay, I usually write a chapter in one night, but I've decided that I need to make them longer, so I'm gonna stretch the writing process out over a couple of days.
If you have any ideas for the next chapter, I do need help, so please review!!

Sota sat in the quiet living room. The shadows stirred as a car passed by. He sighed, and rested his small head on his knees. Pascal's mother came into the room.
"Sota, do you want to go to sleep?" She asked softly.
Sota shook his head, turning his head to peer at her through the gloom. "No thanks, Mrs. Pascal's mommy," he replied. "I need my sister to come back with my teddy bear before I sleep!"
"Sota, it's passed three o'clock in the morning. You need your sleep." Said the woman.
"We don't have school tomorrow, Mrs. P. I don't need to sleep, its Sunday tomorrow."
Pascal's mother sighed. "I'll bring some blankets in here, or you can go and wait in Pascal's room. He's asleep, though."
"That's okay, Mrs. P., I'll just wait here...."

It was dark outside. A light blinked over head, and the wind blew softly, bringing with it a few small drops of rain. Two figures emerged from a sunken tunnel, sliding across the vacant lot, and slipping through a side ally-way.
Kagome blew a few stray bangs out of her porcelain face. A poof of dust accompanied her action, and she sighed. She looked sideways at her companion, and let out another huff of frustration. He hadn't spoken to her since he told her his name. She mulled it over in her head.
'Inuyasha. What a strange name. Canine-demon. Hmmm...." She thought to herself.
The young man turned to her, and she reddened in the darkness, realizing that the name had escaped her lips in a sigh.
"What?"
Kagome stiffened at the roughness is his voice. Why was he so distant? She had been perfectly friendly to him, asking him about his family, about his job, about his life....

"Soo, um, where do you work?"
"From home."
Kagome sighed. This was at least the fifth question she had asked him, without a real answer to satisfy.
"Umm, do you have any kids?"
"No."
"Ah. Okay, a girlfriend, then?"
The silver haired teen whirled on her. "Why are you so interested in my life? Huh? I'm seventeen, for crying out loud! I didn't ask to be stuck with you, so don't ask me any more stupid questions. You don't need to know anything about me, because after tonight, when I drop you at your house, you will never see me again." He paused, and then added "And you can just shut up. You're bugging me."
Kagome blinked back tears that stung her eyes. "And I didn't ask to be stuck with the likes of you!" She glared at him as he turned to face her, his silver hair billowing in the wind. "You're probably a drug lord, or a gang member, or something idiotic like that. You probably couldn't be friendly for even a second, I'm betting. You're just a stuck up pig with no life!"
He stared at her in disbelief. A girl with guts. Now that was a rare occurrence. He looked at her a while longer, then turned away.
"Keh! You don't know anything."
"Well maybe that's because a certain stupid person I know won't tell me anything! And maybe a certain person might be a little more open to friendly conversation!"
Kagome huffed, and stomped past the stunned young man. As she brushed past him, he caught her arm, and turned her towards him. She wrenched her arm away, and glared at him, face hot, tears glistening in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Inuyasha sounded a bit uncomfortable as he said the simple words.
Kagome stared at him. A kind word? From him? She shook her head, disbelieving. The silver haired teen reddened, and dropped his out stretched hand. "You're just the same as them, aren't you? Never accepting a true apology!" He said angrily.
"Excuse me, I beg your pardon!" Kagome said sarcastically, stressing the vowel on 'beg'. "I was just trying to get myself to believe that that apology came from the likes of you! But you just have to go and spoil it with your rudeness, don't you!"
Inuyasha growled low in his throat. Who did this girl think she was? Not knowing a thing about him, talking to him, insulting him...trusting him. Trusting him. That was a new thought to him. He swallowed his newest rude remark as he considered this. He mulled it over in his head, not noticing the angry glare he was receiving from the small girl. She trusted him. At least, he thought she did....
