Disclaimer: Guess what? It's been one day. Do you think that I could get the rights to Inuyasha in one day? No, I didn't think so. So in conclusion, I still don't own Inuyasha.

Okay, I had a comment on the fact that this was a sad story. I want to tell you ahead of time that this WILL be a very sad story. It is a romance and a drama. It is one of those tragic love stories. However, though things go wrong, you will get the ending you want (as long as you want and Inu/Kag ending!). Okay?

And now...

Because of Him, Chapter Two- An Unknown Factor in My Twisted Life

Kagome awoke the next mourning and went down stairs to greet Sango and Sango's other who might as well be Kagome's mom. She had taken care of Kagome for 7 years now, giving her as much love and luxury as Sango and the twins David and Ryan.
Kagome gave her adoptive mother a hug and took her place at the table. A plate of pancakes and scrambled eggs was set down in front of her. She ate her fill, which was the equivalent of only one pancake and a few bites of egg, before getting up and walking up the stairs to change for the day.
After throwing on a pair of black baggy pants with numerous chains hanging off them, a red tank top, and black and red converse shoes, she walked back down the stairs and met with Sango in the living room.
Sango greeted her perkily in a pink and light green fuzzy tank top, and a matching mini skirt. To Kagome, she looked like some kind of sweet candy you could buy at the mall. It just so happened that that was exactly where Kagome and Sango were going today.
Sango had an obsession with going to the mall. Kagome however, didn't like it as much. It was the prime social area of the city. It wasn't that Kagome minded people; it was just the fact that she didn't particularly enjoy the death stares that people shot at her.
Today however, was going to be a little different that Kagome expected. It started out as normal. The two girls walked into the mall, Sango in the lead. They met the rest of the 'Barbies' (which was what the group of three popular girls was called) outside of Rave. Kagome made her escape into Hot Topic which was only two stores down.
"Hey Tony." Kagome walked in the room and her friend Tony slid over the counter to greet her. Tony was lucky enough to work at hot topic and she enjoyed his company when she came in.
"Hey Kagome, what's up?" Kagome sighed and walked over to check out the new baggy red pants that just arrived yesterday. "Not much," Kagome sighed. "just stuck here with the Barbies again. What's new with you?"
Tony ran his fingers through his short spiky hair. "Nothing really, we have a new guy working today." Tony gestured lazily to the double doors that lead to the back room. "But I have something that will make you happy."
Kagome turned to face him, baggy red pants still in hand. "Really? What is it?" Tony smiled, he always loved getting special things that Kagome would like, her smile always made him smile too.
"Come on, I'll show you." They walked into the back storage room, just like every other time that Tony had a surprise for her; he always knew what she liked. "Inuyasha!" Tony called out to his new employee.
This boy called Inuyasha walked around the corner, greeting Tony with a 'what-the-hell-do-you-want?' look. Kagome, who normally never looked at appearances, couldn't help but notice that he was what every girl in her school would have called a 'hottie'.
He was a little over six foot. His hair looked like liquid silver and it flowed almost to his knees, it was, well, beautiful, for lack of a better word. His eyes were a piercing and deep color of amber, which held a certain something that she could not quite grasp. He was dressed similarly to Tony and herself; in black with a lot of chains, with a black hat.
"Inuyasha, this is Kagome. She's one of my good friends." Tony turned to Kagome. "Kagome, this is Inuyasha. He's the new worker here." Kagome smiled and looked at Inuyasha. He smirked and looked her over.
Kagome didn't know how to take this look. It wasn't like he was checking her out or anything, it was like he was looking her over to see if she could be trusted, or, something like that. There was something about him that she couldn't understand.
Inuyasha walked towards her slowly, still giving her that odd look. "Have we, met before?" he asked her. This struck Kagome as a rather odd question. She looked at him questioningly.
"Uh, no, I don't think so." He walked a little closer to her. "What makes you think that we have?" Kagome asked him, thinking that she had the right to know. It wasn't that this guy gave off a bad vibe; it was just different than any other that she had ever felt before.
"Oh, no reason, just wondering, that's all. You looked a little familiar." Inuyasha backed off a little. 'She, she looks so much like her. Perfect height, perfect hair, perfect figure, and her beautiful smell but, her attitude, that's where they differ. This girl is so bright; her eyes aren't cold and serious. But still, there's something inside her that I can't detect.'
"Inuyasha, bring Kagome to her gift. I have to get back to the counter." Inuyasha shook his head like he was waking up from a sleep. "Um, sure, I'll bring her to it." Inuyasha began to walk back around the corner and Kagome followed.
They walked for a while in silence. After a bit Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. "What happened to you?" she blurted out without thinking. Inuyasha turned sharply to look at her. "What?!" he said loudly.
Kagome was taken aback and she stepped slightly away from him. "What do you mean, 'what happened to me'?" Kagome shook her head from side to side, wishing she hadn't said anything.
"Nothing, never mind, its not important." Inuyasha however was not letting it go that easily. "No, tell me." Kagome continued shaking her head. Inuyasha stared at her intently, calming down a little bit. Kagome looked up into his eyes. She saw in them the same glint of something she could not explain.
Inuyasha sighed. "Follow me." He turned and continued leading Kagome away. He weaved his way through shelves and piles of clothes until he got back into a far corner of the storage room, a place Kagome had never been before.
"Sit." He said, and gestured to the bottom of an empty shelf. Kagome did as she was told and Inuyasha sat beside her, rather close. He turned and looked at her. for awhile they both just stared, gazing into each other's eyes. Kagome couldn't help but explain to him what she had meant by her question.
"It's just, you have this strange aura, and it's something I've never felt before. It's not bad, but, it's not good. It's not happy, but it's not quite sad. I don't really know what it is. And, there's this look n your eye. I can't explain that either. Something happened to you, but that's not the only thing that's different."
Kagome finished rather oddly. Inuyasha had never once looked away from her eyes. It was almost like he was in a trance. Kagome had made it a point not to look away as well. She didn't want to stop looking at those big golden eyes of his. They were calling her with their strange look.
"Kagome, there are things I'm willing to talk about, and there are things that will never come out of my mouth. You have brought me to a few things that I am not willing to explain to you. You have described a few things that I also sensed from you. You have something in you that I cannot explain, and I am pretty sure that you will not talk about it since you felt the same thing from me and I won't."
Inuyasha finished just as strangely as Kagome did. They were both talking in a way that was different from their normal speech. This sounded so philosophical. Kagome didn't know how to respond to his statements. He was right in his thought, but she wanted to know what he was willing to tell her, she just didn't know how to go about asking for the privilege.
She found however, that she didn't have to ask. "As for the odd aura," he said, avoiding her eyes, "I will explain that. I don't think you'll freak too bad." Kagome was just about to ask exactly what she would freak about, but then Inuyasha removed his hat.
Sitting on his head, the same color as his hair, were two, small, pointed, adorable, "Doggie ears!" Kagome jumped towards Inuyasha and began to rub them in between her fingers. Inuyasha relaxed under her touch and let a low growl rumble in the back of his throat.
"I didn't know dog demons purred." Kagome giggled. Inuyasha immediately straightened up. "I was NOT purring. I was... growling, in uh... contentment, and that's half dog demon to you. Besides, how do you know about demons?"
Kagome laughed. "I'm psychic." Inuyasha cocked his head. "No, not really, I'm Wiccan. We know about all the creatures of the world." Inuyasha's ears tweaked rather cutely and Kagome giggled again.
"Yah, well don't tell anyone okay? Not everyone is as open minded." Kagome stood up and put her hands on her hips. Inuyasha stood next to her.
"What do you think I am, stupid? Why would I tell anyone? And, how did you get here? I thought demons des out years ago." Inuyasha sighed. "It seems you Wiccans don't know as much as you think. True, there are few of us, but we're still here and there." Kagome looked at him in amazement.
"Don't look so surprised when you go out there. Tony will start to worry about you soon. I think he senses something is up." Kagome smiled.
"Tony is Wiccan too." Inuyasha snorted. "Oh, that explains it. Well, come on, we need to get your gift and get out of here." Inuyasha led a smiling Kagome to her gift. She happily followed him feeling a little more open now that she had been clued in.
She spent the rest of her day at the mall trying to find reasons to go into Hot Topic and talk to Inuyasha. She was glad that she had met him, and she ended up making plans to hang out with him at school. Turns out that Inuyasha just came here to Tokyo and was going to be going to Kagome's school.
Kagome found herself overly happy when she found this out. For some reason, she felt and odd bond between her and Inuyasha. She was glad to have found him. They became friends quickly that day and he had opened up to her about the demon thing within about fifteen minutes.
Kagome went home that night thinking about Inuyasha, and dreaming about him too. However, she had forgotten about something very important. She had forgotten about her spell. She did however, remember the next day.
Do to this fact; she continued waiting for a change, which had already happened.

Okay, that's it for now. I hope you liked this chapter. It was pretty uneventful, I know. I hope it wasn't too boring, but I needed to lay down the story line before I got into the story itself, okay? Reviews make me happy! (
