Her scream was loud and clear. It felt as if it was echoing in his ears. A thousand times louder. No. It sounded a million times louder. A never-ending scream that could deafen any ears...

"It's alright..." He soothed, "I won't hurt you..."

She stop screaming, unable to understand. Her lips were in a straight line, unable to express any feelings. The only emotion seen on her face was deep in her eyes. Deep in her two shining sapphire eyes was confusion. As if both sides were having a war, to see whether he was trustworthy or not. Not knowing what to do, she just stood there.

"Hello..." He said, gently. Gentler than he wanted.

"You know, you can stop babying me." She snapped. Kurama looked shocked. A minute ago, it looked like her whole world was in panic when she screamed. Now she was different. Too different. She changed from panic to confusion, from confusion to one of annoyance. Did this girl have mood swings or what?

"OK. Who are you?" Kurama asked, finally.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? And, Where am I? Did you kidnap me?" She asked, her eyes slightly showing fear.

"No. And I am sorry. You are right. You are at my home. And no. I did not kidnap you." said Kurama, truthfully.

'He didn't kidnap me... He doesn't even look like a kidnapper...' She thought, 'Can he be... the boy that saved me? But, didn't he have black hair? Or maybe my vision saw wrong, I was... getting unconcious...'

"Well." said Kurama, holding out his hands toward her in a polite gesture, "My name is Shuichi Minamino. But, You may call me Kurama."

She blinked her eyes, as she smoothed her skirt. Ignoring the hand which hung in the air for quite an uncomfortable long time.

'Maybe, she doesn't like shaking hands.' thought Kurama, as he withdrew his hand.

"Oh! Shuichi!" came a cry, "I heard a scream. Did you hurt the poor innocent girl?" She burst in to gasp, "My, my. You are one lovely young lady."

The girl flushed, unable to hide a blush which was forming on her cheeks.

"No. Dear. You are absolutely stunning. Why, I have never seen anyone as... exquisite as you. Don't you agree, Shuichi?" asked his mother.

"Yes, Mother." replied Kurama, knowing it was true.

"Anyways, Welcome to our home. My name is Shiori Minamino" she smiled, warmly.

"I'm Kagome. Kagome Higurashi." she murmured, embarrassed, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Minamino."

"Oh. You have nothing to be embarrass about. Please just call me Shiori, but I prefer mom. Yes. You may call me mom." said Shiori, surprising both Kagome and Kurama.

"Oh. OK, Mom." mumbled Kagome.

If possible, Shiori's smile widened.

"W-What? M-Mother! Why does she get to call you mom, too?" asked Kurama, this time confusion was on his face, clearly showing.

Shiori said nothing, but only winked, causing Kurama to gape. 'Is this even my mother? Pray tell, had some evil spirit taken over her body?'

"Thank You, for letting me stay here-

"You are very welcome, dear."

"I guess I must be going..."

"To where?"

"Um.. home."

"Oh yes. Of course. You need to go home, to see your family. But, will you come back tomorrow to visit?" asked Shiori, "I get kind of lonely, having no one to talk to sometimes..."

"I.. well, I guess I could..." said Kagome, forcing a smile.

"Oh. That'd be wonderful. Thank you so much dear. Now, Shuichi, won't you walk her home?" asked Shiori, giving him a shove.

"Mother!" exclaimed Shuichi, hearing her death whisper only loud enough for him to hear, "Now, Shuichi. This might be your only chance to get a girlfriend who wouldn't just like you for your looks..."

"Yes, Mother." said Shuichi, obediently.

Shuichi opened the door, as Kagome grabbed her things.

"Have fun, dears." Bid Shiori, as they left.

"You know. You don't have to walk me home." said Kagome, when they were out of Shiori's view.

"My mother told me to."

"Well. That's alright, I am quite capable of going home myself." said Kagome, shooting him a smile.

He felt captured in her smile as he caught himself, "No. No. It wouldn't be safe, for you."

"Didn't you hear me? I said I was quite capa-

"Yes. I heard you. I just feel like walking you home." mumbled Kurama.

"Oh?" asked Kagome, blushingly.

"Yes..." murmured Kurama.

"Well, Let's go then?" smiled Kagome, grabbing his arm.

"Uh... sure." he said, awkwardly.

They were unknowingly watched, by a ruby red eyed swordsman, sitting in a nearby tree. He glared at them, not knowing what forced him to. As he quickly turned away, and tried to return back to sleep. He couldn't. Something was keeping him awake. The image of the Kagome girl's smile. Even though it wasn't meant for him, he was enchanted by it.

Imagine! Him, Enchanted by a smile by a ningen no less? He growled at himself. He must be losing it. That was the only answer. Quietly, he forced himself to sleep, erasing any thoughts of his red-headed friend and the girl he saved...

Review Responses

amanda01: Um.. I already have a kur/kag story. I guess I can make another one. =] It'll be called Memorial Faces, if it ever gets updated...

Lady of the Deadly Dance: So sorry.. I hate doing description. I mean, I like doing one or two descriptions, but I'm quite lazy right now, and always was. Sorry. Deeply apologies. -Bows-

Kanna Fan: Lol! I love your name! =P I'm a Kanna Fan too. I think the Kanna I like is from a different anime though. Anyhow. I'm not sure if I can make it longer. I mean if I wanted to, I could. But you see, I am lazy, really lazy.

Red Skyies: I agree with you completely! I think Hiei's too short too. His picture and voice scares me though, don't ask. It just does. I just like his attitude in fanfics. And, if Hiei/Kag does win, that'd be like a lot of chapters away. Anyhow, if they do win, then we'll just pretend Hiei's taller k? =P

Yuku no Yatsu: Well.. I used to be a Hiei/Kagome fan and sorta still am. I agree with Kagome being off better with Kurama... but it's actually the voters decision isn't it? I'm more of a Harry Potter fan now. Don't ask. You wouldn't wanna know. Trust me. =D

Kitsune-Lover-4ever: Yes... I lied. And, I once again lied again. I'm not sure if I'm gonna try to finish "For The Love Of A Dragon" first.. now.. =P Aren't I evil?

me: Ya.. my story does need to pick up more. And how may I ask, can I do that?

Deadly Thorn: Inuyasha is dead. I killed him. I'll revive him in a few chapters later.

Lifeless-Kanna: I don't exactly have a plot on this story, so I'm not quite sure where it's going. I just hope it's going in the correct direction... Well... Vote if you want... Just please, don't go back chapters to vote... It's kind of irritating. Lately, everything is annoying me, for no reason what-so-ever. I am hallucinating - and I know it. It's all that spiders fault. First that stinking crawling fly, then that spider. What next? Oh god, I just cursed myself. -groans- Oh well. Today is my first day of high schoooooooool! But no one cares right?
