Youkai Koinu You get a plushie from me, and be sure to tell Ash's Girl to give you the special chappie to her story! Thank you for the nice compliments Blush
cluelessmajor: Thanks for reviewing! OMG I did forget about Sango and Miroku. I added their ages in the story! There you go
alejandra: Thanks so much! You really think I'm doing well? You really made me feel better!
Ash's GirlThanks…but I'd rather tell it to you in person!
malicali1891You too get a plushie from moi and a chappie from Ash's Girl, k? I updated! You make me feel so special! Or maybe that's the rabid monkey chewing on my leg….hmmm
Summary: Inuyasha and Kagome find each other both as orphans 7 years ago. They become really close. The one thing they never learned was about was love. They never had time for it. Not until now. Jealousy strikes when Inuyasha meets Kikyo. Kagome and Inuyasha are not sure what these feelings mean, but when danger starts coming at them, will they be able to stay safe and figure it out? Inu/Kag Mir/San Rin/Sessh Kouga/Ayame Thank you again, and you all get 5 cookies! Not just 1, but 5! Thanks a bunch and on with the chappie!
It's Just That Way
After meeting you,
I saw your fearful face
And on instinct, I wanted to protect
To protect…you
And it's just that way
That's the Way it is
That's the Way it is
It's Just that Way
I met you, piece by piece
The dark, the light, the shadows
Flipping through your pages
To see what I would uncover next
We met, we faced, and we stood
Piece by piece, through dark,
The light, the shadows
Together…now…always…
And forever…
Always...And Forever
Last Time:
"Hey! Inu! Stop day dreaming!" Inuyasha turned his head to the source of the voice. Kagome was standing there with a baseball mitt and ball in her hand. "Are you ready to get your ass kicked?" she asked with a smug look on her face.
He smirked back. "No chance in hell." He stood up and walked out of the hut, but not before placing the black baseball cap from long ago on his head.
What they didn't see, was in the shadows, lay a man with a maniac smile.
"Kagome, I've let you live this long without pain, but not for long…not for long…"
Chapter 1
Always…And Forever
Kagome had once again lost in baseball. She kept trying, and trying, but she knew she would never beat Inuyasha. He was the best, and it didn't help with his half demon powers. As always, he smirked at his confidence. So…she did what any normal person would do. That is…any normal person that had been through her life.
Yup, she tackled him. He was being so snobbish, what was a girl to do? When he was declaring that no one could beat him, that he could predict every move, and turned his back, he was wide open. Hands on his hips, eyes closed confidently, an arrogant smirk played across his face. The cat pounced. He turned a hundred and eighty degrees to flex his muscles (how bigheaded can you get?) when he opened his eyes.
Ok, picture this in slow motion. Inuyasha, turns around opening his eyes. He sees Kagome in mid air about to impact into him. His eyes open as big as they can go. Ok, back to normal motion.
Kagome enveloped her arms around his neck and they both crashed down to the ground. BAM! Kagome smirked at her victory.
During this whole commotion, the black baseball cap had been lifted slightly from the secure hold on Inuyasha's head.
"Now's my time to show him how he can't predict every move," Kagome thought. She nuzzled her face into the cap. Finding what she was looking for, she ever so slightly brushed her tongue against his fuzzy snow-white ears perched on the top of his head.
"You weren't expecting that, were you Inu-kun," Kagome whispered faintly, so only his perfect earshot could hear.
She lifted herself off of him, and started walking away, but not without pulling his cap down over his eyes. She did this partly to tell him she had had the upper hand, and partly so that he couldn't see the dark crimson stain that was spreading across her face like the shadows in the night. What she didn't notice was that Inuyasha was in the same situation.
She strolled past the other awe-stricken players, consisting of mainly Miroku, Sango, Seshomaru, Kouga, Ayame, and some other neighbors from near by. Eyes closed confidently, she walked into the homely hut they called home. She knew that if she had even peeked out from one eye, she would have lost her confidence and run like the wind.
Right after Kagome entered the hut, she glanced around quickly, making sure that no one had followed her in. She dashed into the corner of the hut, where a tiny entrance that was covered by the shadows. She squeezed herself into her haven, and took a deep sigh of relief. Inside this musty little crack in the wall were a few posters here and there, and some torn old blankets used to make the "hide-out" more comfortable.
Kagome slipped a hand under a faded pink comforter that was missing some stitches. She pulled out her most precious belonging that no one knew of. She smiled at it fondly. Her journal. She opened it slowly, careful to not tear the already breaking spine of this book. Each page was adorned with pictures of Kagome and the others. She smiled tenderly at each photo, them growing in age with each new page. Everyone was positioned in almost the same manner in each photo. Kagome looked at her favorite photo of all times. In there, Seshomaru was looking stoic, slightly spaced out from the rest. Miroku smiling and sporting his red slap mark from Sango. (He had only gotten himself into this habit about two years ago.) Sango was turned away, looking huffily at Miroku, but with a small sweet smile on her face. Kouga had his head resting on top of Ayame's fiery red hair, and a grin played across his face. Ayame, held her hand out in a peace sign, and smiled happily. This was her most resent picture, and she would treasure it forever. Her favorite part though, was not her friends, though it made it even more special to her. It wasn't the beautiful background of the forest near by either. Her favorite part was that Inuyasha was hugging her from behind, and had the biggest blush on his face. She on the other hand, was winning in the blushing contest, and she had a shy smile on her face. It was Kagome's favorite memory ever. She flipped to an empty page. She began to scribble down today's events.
"Dear Diary,
OMG sometimes I can be so rash! Today I tackled Inuyasha, (that isn't the bad part ). It was the fact that after I tackled Inuyasha, I licked his ear! What am I? Some sort of carnivore?! It was sooooo embarrassing. I mean, sure he deserved the tackle, but I was just acting on instinct! On top of that, everyone was staring at me! Even Seshomaru looked surprised. What am I going to do now? I guess the best thing is too do is to ignore him. I'll see you later! When I come back, I'll tell you what happened, ok?
Peace out!
Kagome Higurashi"
Kagome was satisfied with her entry, and flipped to the second to last page. There, she had a picture of everyone, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, everyone. Each on had a little bit of information on each person.
Kagome read aloud," Miroku is now 16 going on 17…Sango is 16…Seshomaru is going to turn 18 in 4 months…Kouga is 17…Ayame is 16…Me, Kagome, I'm going to turn 16, and Inuyasha…he's just turn 17."
Each name was highlighted in a certain color, and sometimes colors. Kagome couldn't help but notice that she had made Inuyasha's look the best…she ignored that little fact and kept scanning over the page when she found something very peculiar. A fingerprint was found next to her picture, and it was printed in a color very similar to dried blood. "What the…" Kagome muttered aloud.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kaome's head snapped up when she heard the unfamiliar cry from a girl around her age.
"That better not be Miroku at it again," Kagome thought, but somehow, she had a dreaded feeling it wasn't.
It wasn't all that good, I'm sorry! But I really tried. I'm also sorry for not updating in what… A month and 10 days? I'll try to update sooner! Please review! It inspires me to continue! You feel a weird presence control your body and press the enticing periwinkle button below
