Author's Note:
Oi! Thanks to all of you who reviewed. I feel a little better but my nose feels likes someone crammed sausages in it. It is NOT a wonderful feeling. Ah, well? Anyways. I decided to try and update so you, the fans, would praise me so I could have control over your brains and attempt to take over the world! Moohoohahahahahahaha! I'm kidding. Well, on with the next section!
To the Reviewers:
Lady-Minh- ::bows down and worships thee:: Thank the lordly lords! Lady Minh, you are such a lifesaver! Woo! I hope you find this chapter up to what your expectations! I live to please and please to live. How come you are just so stinking nice?! n_n
Dark Topaz- Heh, I am not exactly feeling like I'm queen of the world {of which I should be once I take over your brain} but the story isn't going to write itself!
Shorty40/Crystal- I'm not sure about Inuyasha yet. I have to say that I like S/K pairings more. It's a lot of fun to see how two totally different personalities clash. Hope you enjoy this one!
Kousagi-chan- Wow! People are so nice to me O.o? I'm so happy people want me to feel better! Yay! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Sesnaru- Thank you so much! I'm glad you find it funny? I'm not really sure if there is much humor. But I'm thrilled to know you enjoy it! Thanks a lot!
Tiatoter- I'm slowly but surely recovering! I know it's kinds stupid but I hope to go to Big Bear Mountain for Christmas, even IF I'm sick. I haven't seen a decent amount of snow for 3 years! Hope you enjoy!
Sliver-Blue-Eyes- I know it sucks…:sigh:: awe well! Thanks for the smile!
Vy Ngo- I'm feeling better, thanks for caring!
Arys- I'm very glad to know you think this is funny! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
If you could wish yourself to never be sick, I recommend you to do it. It was great when you got the cold or flu during grade school, but now? ugh. I have to miss classes and get swamped with homework! blah. I sleep lightly now! When the heck did this happen?! I slept through ambulance sirens, 4 small earthquakes, and cold water being spilled slowly onto my stomach {which did not feel good after I woke up}. Sleeping light sucks?
Just in case you all didn't know, I live in sunny
California! I've NEVER been on an airplane and the longest I've been on a boat
was for 2 hours. Yes, I'm such a home person but you must love it. I've been to
Utah once. It was cool but I was 6 and ate bad snow so I ended up being sick
for the entire time we stayed.
Lets just stay away from that or I'll drag on for 2 eternities.
^_^
-- IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
Guess what! Lastly got an editor! Wahoo! Lady-Minh, a reviewer who always reviews, decided to help me out by editing my grammar mistakes and blah things like that! Yay! So remember, I'm not the only person writing this story! It's now a Lastly and Lady-Minh story!
Greatest of Memories- Chapter 3: Who really is this girl?
By: Lastly & Lady-MinhGenre: Romance/Angst/Humor/Alternate Universe
-------------
"Oi! Kagome! Wait up!" The young girl didn't notice her being called to, so she continued walking across the street.
"Kagome! Kagome!"
"Huh?" A young girl dressed neatly in a navy sweater and a long khaki skirt turned around. The handsome young man calling her name was jogging to catch up to her.
"Oh! Hey Miroku!" She said happily as the student finally caught up to her, schoolbooks in hand.
Together, they walked leisurely toward the large school building in which they attended. It had been a week since Kagome was introduced to Miroku and Inuyasha. So far, all had gone well and Kagome found herself liking her new school a lot more than she expected. Kagome's cheerful and enthusiastic nature drew people toward her.
"So where is Sango?" Miroku asked, turning his attention to Kagome. Kagome's cheerful face grew to a knowing smile when Miroku asked this. She loved how cute her friends acted, the amusement made her entire being light up. With a lazy smile, she simply shrugged her shoulders and walked on peacefully. Miroku blinked, deciding he didn't like the sudden gleam in her bright blue eyes. He thoughtfully watched her, wondering what she could be thinking about.
Miroku had befriended Kagome with no trouble. He enjoyed her calming aura and gentle smiles. She, somewhat, reminded him of a sister he had never been gifted with.
Though their friendship had gotten bumpy after his infamous 'wandering' hand had met her lower backside, they were able to become fast friends. Inuyasha on the other hand, continued to insult Kagome, but he tolerated her presence more than most. Though he wasn't a generally friendly guy, he seemed to be more at peace with the sapphire-eyed student. -It must be because of Kikyo. When will he understand that-? Miroku's thoughts were cut off when Kagome cried out for him.
"Miroku! Watch-" She tried to warn but was a second too late.
BUNK! Thud!"Oh! Miroku are you all right!?" Kagome asked. Although she sounded concerned there was a slight hint of amusement in her voice. Miroku lay unmoving beside the rather large telephone pole he had bumped (head first) into, twitching occasionally.
Kagome leaned over to get a good view of his face. A nasty bruise started to form in the middle of his forehead, not to mention his red nose. Kagome winced as she traced her hand up to her own forehead as if to find a bruise of her own. -He's definitely going feel that later!- She thought with pity.
Something warm pressed against her rear, making her squeak in surprise. Her eyes narrowed as she glared at the lecher, whose face seemed to have changed to one with a large innocent grin.
All feelings of pity vanished as she brought down her fist to his head, causing him to gain another large bruise.
"Miroku, when will you ever learn?!" Kagome said exasperatedly as she started to drag him toward the school by the feet. People stared oddly at the two students. You don't see a young girl towing an unconscious boy to school everyday. Kagome seemed to be ignoring the fact that Miroku's head was hitting numerous amounts of things such as curbs, trashcans, and a few mailboxes. It was an odd scene to say the least.

"Sango! Help!" cried out Kagome as she spotted her dark haired cousin among the mass of bodies who stood in front of the school.
Sango turned around and paused as her eyes took in the sight in front of her. She just stared for a good five minutes before bursting out in peals of laughter.
Kagome's hair had been somewhat messed up on her way there, her sweater was now crooked, and her expression early said that she was tired of pulling a body around with her.
Miroku was, in two words, screwed up. His hair that was usually neatly kept in a tail had come loose making his hair come out into tangles full of twigs and grass…Kagome must have dragged him through the school-front yard. His dark shirt that was now soiled with dirt stains rode up, showing a white sleeveless undershirt, which held a few mud stains too. He seemed to have been dragged through hell itself. His face held two bruises, while the top of his head held a great amount of bumps, probably from the steps Kagome hauled him up.
Kagome dropped Miroku's feet as she yanked him up the last few steps, catching up to Sango. She bent over, trying to catch her breath. -Miroku weighs a ton!- When she finally gained her composure she looked up to see Sango still laughing. She became a little frustrated.
"Sango! Stop laughing and help me get him inside! He isn't exactly the lightest person in the world you know!" Kagome said grumpily. Sango's laughs died after another moment and she rushed toward her cousin to help assist her pull Miroku to their first class. When they got there, they roughly threw Miroku in his seat and took their own seats. A few minutes later study hall began.

Liquid gold eyes watched the unusual scene. His interest in the human named Kagome continued to grow ever since the first day he saw her. She appeared to not even know him and if she did, shouldn't she be at his feet, worshiping him like all the other females in the school? He decided the blue-eyed female should be giving him her attention. All of his life he would be given the attention of EVERY girl that laid eyes on him, but she seemed different. He found it odd that she was able to ignore him like she did. He was, after all, prince of the Western Lands! He owned this part of the country, because of his heritage. Everyone knew that: the girls, the guys, even the teachers! Yet this girl seemed like the only one without the knowledge of this information or chose to disregard it.
A regal figure stood up swiftly out of his seat. The girls immediately swarmed around him, trying to get his attention. They nauseated him to no end. They fawned over him, while telling him countless times how handsome he was. He heard it all. He was disgusted with the demon females as well as the humans.
He decided to ignore the clutchy pack of girls around him and walked toward the young lady who was laughing peacefully with Taijiya. His long, silver mane trailed after him, illusioned as curtain of silk. The light coming from the class windows made his pale skin glow as he narrowed his eyes at the girl whom, he was sure, would be bowing at his feet in a matter of minutes. Taijiya didn't present as a problem for him. He had known her since his childhood, meeting her through of his half brother, Inuyasha. He had, as his brother, come to respect the girl (though not as violently as his idiot sibling had). He stopped behind the raven-haired girl, whom still didn't seem to sense his presence.
As though on que, the girl called Kagome stiffened before him, raising her face upward instead of turning around to face him. Sesshoumaru was paralyzed in surprise.
Her eyes were intense with emotion and compassion. Yes, she is different. He thought. She still seemed to not know who he was. She was looking him in the eyes, which no one had ever dared to do.
Sesshoumaru had only one question that stopped all other thoughts…Who really is this girl?
