Reunited Love

Chapter 2 "Love Rekindled-Romeo and Juliet Scenario

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters here except for myself. And Sakeri only owns herself as well.

Didn't get many reviews...but I'll update anyways. (Note: more reviews = faster updates!) A bit of OOCness from Inu-yasha in this chapter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been about two hours since Inu-Yasha had pissed Kagome off and had a personal encounter with the ground. Outside, he was seen as fuming. Everyone knew Inu-Yasha didn't like to be "sat". But inside, he was deep in thought.

'Why am I remembering that day? Why am I remembering...her?'

Inu-Yasha couldn't get the dream out of his head. The dream...the memory...he could relive that day in his mind a million times, as if it had happened yesterday. The girl in his dream...he knew her. He could never forget her. She was the very first, before Kagome and the others, the only friend he had. She never teased or tormented him because he was a hanyou, unlike the villagers. He was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by a lingering scent he hadn't caught since he was a child, followed by the loud shrieks of a youkai in pain, and Kagome saying "I sense a shard nearby!"

'I know that scent!' Inu-Yasha thought as he ran towards the scent, shard and battle, followed by everyone else.

When they got there, they saw the body of a dead Ox youkai, and another figure, female, cat ears, cat tail, cat claws, reaching into the dead body to take the shard that the beast once used.

Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo expected to see Inu-Yasha unsheathe the Tetsusaiga and attack the previous battle's winner in attempt to take the shard, but only found him frozen in place staring at the neko youkai in a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"S-sakeri?" Inu-Yasha managed to choke out.

Sakeri turned around to face Inu-Yasha at the sound of her name. For a moment, she too, found herself in the same reaction as she looked at her childhood friend.

"Inu...Yasha?"

Just then, for Sakeri and Inu-Yasha, the world ceased to exist except for them.

Meanwhile, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were looking at Inu-Yasha in dumbfounded shock. Well, all but Miroku, who was, as expected, staring at Sakeri.

"Not bad...not bad at all." Miroku said. "She's very beautiful...for a youkai! I wonder-" He was cut off by Sango using her Hiraikotsu and hitting him on the back of his head with it.

"Don't. Even. Go there." Sango said plainly. 'When will he learn?'

Inu-Yasha walked over to Sakeri and found himself pulling her into his arms. He couldn't help it, he was attracted to her.

Sakeri started blushing at the feel of Inu-Yasha's hands around her waist. Why was she feeling like this? Weren't they just friends? But she too felt attracted to him.

"It's been awhile...I missed you."

"I missed you too...Inu-Yasha."

Inu-Yasha gently lifted Sakeri's chin up to get her to look at him, then leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on her lips, making her blush more. But through her blushing, Sakeri slowly, and shyly, kissed Inu-Yasha back.

"Awww! How cute!" Kagome chirped.

"Yuck! Gross!" Shippo said in disgust. "They're kissing!"

"This is just like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet story!" Kagome said happily.

"Shakes-pear?"

"Ro-me-oh?"

"Ju-lee-ete?"

Miroku, Sango and Shippo looked at Kagome with confused faces towards these strange, new names.

"Close enough." Kagome muttered. "It's a story where two families, the Montagues and the Capulates are fighting , but one member of each family ends up falling in love!"

"Mon-tee-geu?"

"Cap-you-late?"

Kagome face faulted.

"Never mind." 'Why did I even bother to try and teach them Shakespeare?'
