            "Don't ever come near me again, bitch."

            "Don't ever..."

            "Ever again..."

            "Bitch."

            Kagome gasped. Her heart; Her heart, it hurt. Why did it hurt so much?

            The young girl walked piteously down the street, following the sidewalk, not caring much where it would lead her. The noonday sun shined mercilessly upon her back causing moisture to form on her neck. Her feet dragged sluggishly over the concrete sidewalk. The sound of the soles of her shoes scraping across stray gravel was heard. A car passed, speeding past the girl, tousling her hair so that they hung over her face. The high-schooler made no movement to brush them away, only looked forward. But her eyes her empty, her mind was lost in its own thoughts.

            "Don't ever come near me again."

             'Why?' she asked silently, clutching her chest. It hurts right here, right in my chest. It won't go away, but it hurts so much.

            "Why?" she whispered aloud. Her voice was cracked. Her throat was crusted with the after effects of sobs.

            Her face grew hot and she felt her vision blur from the new tears forming in her eyes. The toe of Kagome's shoe stuck to a crack in the sidewalk beneath her and she fell. She fell hard and lay still, her cheek pressed against the sun-warmed concrete.

            "Why?" She cried again, the tears rolling down her face. Her body shook with the new wave of weeping.

            "Hey."

            Kagome's sobs ceased in an instant. It was a boy's voice she had heard, right? 'Inu Yasha?!" But when she lifted her eagerly, she gasped.

            A shrill scream pierced the air.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

            Inu Yasha walked silently through the halls, his amber eyes pensive. Beneath his loose silver mass of hair, his teeth were gritted, tensed like the rest of the muscles in his body. What's up with that girl? He had been totally fine, totally normal before.

            Until he met her.

            She pulled out something from underneath her exterior. He had spent so many years to hide it away. So many years. And she managed to bring it to the surface with just smile.

            Pathetic.

            A low growl rumbled deep in his throat. Like the sound of a dog being threatened, he growled. But was he being threatened? Did that girl pose as a threat?

            Yes, yes she did. Every nerve of his body trembled. With fear. He had faced many foes that had brought him near death, but none had triggered fear. Why was she an exception?

            The reason was his weakness was not physical, of course not. He rather prided himself with the belief that he had not physical weakness. But a weakness mentality wise, that was rather different.

            Everything before two years ago, no one must know. No one must get close enough to know. No one.

            'But she can, and that's why I must stay away from her', Inu Yasha thought. 'I must keep her away from me at all costs.' A tug in his chest stopped his train of thoughts. He grunted, placing his hand over his heart.

            'So why do I feel this pain?'

            A shriek shot through her ears. A girl's shriek. Kagome's shriek. He body stiffened. She must be in trouble. But I must stay away from her!! She could take away the normal life I  tried so hard to achieve!! Everything, everything that I did will turn to nothing!!

            "So uh, why am I running to rescue her?" he asked himself. (sweatdrop)
