Chapter 2: How Did We Become Friends?
Sesshoumaru held Kagome for over an hour as she cried into his shoulder, "I'm sorry, I got your shirt soaked" she said. He shook his head and laid her head back on his shoulder, "How did we ever meet?" she asked. "It was that time in second grade when Inu-yasha made you cry" Sesshoumaru said, "How do you remember?" she asked, "I could never forget" he responded.
Flashback
"Stupid girl, you're so dumb!" a seven-year-old Inu-yasha screamed at a six-year-old Kagome. "Can't even paste paper right" he said and started laughing. Tears welled up in the young girls' eyes, "I-I hate you!" she screamed and ran across the room into the corner. "Are you okay?" a boy about seven-years-old asked, she looked up and gasped, he looked like Inu-yasha only more defined and more beautiful. The boy was truly beautiful, "Yes, I'm fine" she said and wiped her tears, he helped her up. "I'm Sesshoumaru" he said, "I'm Kagome" she responded and kissed his cheek before running off. He put a hand to the spot she kissed him on and blushed lightly with a smile.

"Oh yeah, I remember that kiss" she said and laughed, "You were so cute I couldn't help it" she added. "Do you remember how we became friends?" Sesshoumaru asked, "Yeah, seventh grade" she said and smiled. "I'll never forget that, you were so mad you had to be my partner" Sesshoumaru said, "'He's so mean, it's like he's a block of ice and I have to be his partner, not fair!'" he imitated her. "Those were my exact words" Kagome said feeling ashamed of it now, "But look how it turned out" Sesshoumaru added. "Yeah, I'll never forget..." Kagome said and smiled while thinking back to that day when they first became friends.
Flashback
"Alright everyone, you will have partners for your latest assignment, I'll choose them" Mrs. Kaede said. "...Inu-yasha and Kikyo, Miroku and Sango, Sesshoumaru and Kagome..." she recited. Kagome's mouth dropped open, "What, why?" she asked, "He's so mean, it's like he's a block of ice and I have to be his partner, not fair!" she said. "Now, Kagome, he's your partner, get used to it" the teacher screamed, Kagome plunked down in her seat and puffed up her face in a pout while crossing her arms. The bell rang and Kagome gathered her things while following Sesshoumaru, "Let's go to your place" she said to him.
They arrived at his home and walked to his room, she looked around in awe at the pictures of people around the room. A bulletin board was posted on the wall with pictures of her and papers with neatly written words in cursive on them. "I am amazed at all your stuff" she said and walked over to the board, he pulled her to sit on the bed. "Let's get to work" he said, she nodded and they began working on their project.
It had been two weeks since Kagome and Sesshoumaru were assigned as partners and they presented their project nicely. Kagome was relaxing at Sesshoumaru's place with her sister when Sesshoumaru walked into the room and motioned for her to follow him. "I want to recite a poem for you" he said when they were in the other room, "Here:
I'm sorry if I've made you mad,
Please forgive me because it's made me sad.
I promise to be real nice,
I'll even make you dinner of udon and rice.
So please give me the chance to say,
I'm sorry and I'll say it everyday.
I'm asking for another chance,
And for you to be my date to the dance.
I never meant you any harm,
I don't mean to cause any alarm.
I'll you one more time, please my friend and give me a chance,
Also, be my date for the dance"
Kagome stared at him in shock, he blushed a bit and looked towards the ground, "I'll go with you, I'll be your friend, and I won't tell anyone about this" she said and hugged him. He smiled and hugged her back, "Oh yeah" he said and kissed her cheek then her forehead and her other cheek. "Just like my favorite movie" she said and snuggled her face into his chest. "I'll one of your best friends" she said and smiled at him, "Thank you" he replied.

"That's how we became friends" she said, "Your exactly right" he replied and kissed her cheek, her forehead, and her other cheek. "Just like your favorite movie" he said and she snuggled into his chest, they soon drifted off to sleep.
Hope you enjoyed, R&R.
