Wow! I got so many reviews for this chapter! If you guys keep this up, I'm going to blush! n_n! Oi, I'm sorry to say but I'm not going to be able to update very often. I hope to get another chapter up at least once a week. Luckily, winter break is around the corner so I can update as much as I like. But afterward I might not be able to do so often. High school isn't very easy, being a freshman sucks? But it's all good to know that I'm finally being counted as a semi-adult.
I hope you all enjoy this update!
Greatest of Memories- Chapter 5: Time Can Only Tell
Edited by: Lady-MinhBy: Lastly
Genre- Romance/Angst/Humor/Alternate Universe----------------------
"Hello?"
"…"
"Excuse me?"
A young, dark haired girl sat in her seat with her eyes looking upward at the tall elegant demon that stood behind her, looking down with a criticizing gaze.
Books lay strewn across the dark wooden table where a dark haired and a young man watched the two with an intense stare. Tension grew thick in the air around the demon and girl.
The other occupants around the table took no notice of the scene as they continued on with their daily business. A young student coughed as he settled down to read a book at the far end of the table. Another student tapped away furiously on the computer, obviously in a hurry to get an assignment done.
-Gold- was all Kagome could think. -He has golden eyes like Inuyasha. Beautiful…-
"Um, hi. You got something on your face." Kagome said politely, poking her own cheek in emphasis. Surprise flickered in the gold steel gaze before it vanished to be replaced by cool indifference. Kagome shivered as she watched the glowing orbs in surprise. They changed so quickly it was as if the emotion would be foreign to those eyes.
The stranger's gaze hardened into a mild glare as he looked over the student that sat so leisurely before him. -So this is the girl that everyone seemed so interested in? She doesn't see like anything, though, I have to admit that there is something about her that's different. - Movement made his steely gaze shift onto the pony-tailed boy sitting across from Kagome. Miroku shifted uncomfortably as Sesshoumaru nodded once toward the violet-eyed student before looking at Kagome once again.
She just shifted slightly under the calculating look and pulled herself forward to get out of her seat. When she stood, she came to about his chin level. She leaned in, reaching up with her left hand and swiped that "something" off his face from earlier. She then presented her other hand between herself and the tall student.
"Hi! I'm Kagome Higurashi." She said cheerfully, smiling lightly.
Gold eyes watched her every movement. -How can she show so much in a simple smile? Who really is this girl? No female can capture my attention like this. She is not as stunning like some of the woman I've seen. I have seen much lovelier woman who are models and even actresses. So what seems to draw me to this mere child? Let alone, human!?- The man thought as he looked into her endless blue eyes.
"I am Sesshoumaru." He said cliptly in introduction. He had hoped, no, expected her to gasp in surprise of standing so near the prince of the western lands. To be shocked that the Sesshoumaru was standing before her. He could practically smell the blush that would settle on her cheeks and feel the tremor that would course through her body.
But to his surprise she casually murmured, "I'm pleased to meet you Sesshoumaru! I hope we can be good friends."
The stony mask which prevented others from seeing his true self slipped for a second, letting all see the shock that ran through him instead of the girl. The emotion was suppressed immediately as a frown tugged his pale pink lips. What was wrong with this girl? Why did she not kneel in front of him and kiss at his feet like so many others had done. He wanted to smell the fear that should have come off of her in waves from being so close to a powerful demon. Why did she not praise him?!
Miroku nearly combusted in laughter, as he watched the dramatic scene unfurl. Who would have thought that little simple minded, little Kagome would impact the great Lord Sesshoumaru enough to make his icy face drop (though it was only for a moment)? He watched as Kagome stood a few feet away from one of the most respected demons in the world, with a comfortable smile and innocence radiating off of her being. And to think that Sango had gone to the bathroom when all this was taking place! Just the thought made him peal out in another round of laughter.
Kagome, startled not by the powerful demon, but by her friend, looked toward Miroku with confused eyes. Amusement and happiness danced in the startlingly blue orbs as she chuckled lightly at him. She sat down comfortably in her wooden seat as she pulled out a chair for Sesshoumaru. He just looked at her, stunned once again, before his mask slipped on. This only made Miroku laugh harder and fall out of his seat.
Kagome noticed that the tall, graceful student that she met merely a few minutes ago did not sit down. She looked up into his cold gaze unflinchingly. She gestured to the soft wooden chair next to her and smiled gently, obviously asking him to take a seat. She laughed lightly as she watched Miroku roll on the floor, laughing hard enough to draw tears from his eyes. She didn't know what was so funny but was amused beyond words at his behavior.
Sesshoumaru just stared at the girl whose laugh was light and pleasant to his sensitive ears. She did not seem to want to be his friend out of greed, as his male companions did. She did not bat her thick eyelashes at him or giggle in an annoyingly high voice to try and snag him as a mate.
No, she wasn't like any of that. Something about this girl was off and he was determined to find out. He regained his composure and took the seat next to her, extracting another warm smile from her before turning back to Miroku whom was trying to collect his bearings.
Yes, he would figure out why she seemed to draw him toward her. This was no spell for he would have smelled it as it was cast. This seemed so natural for him, to be sitting close to the raven-haired girl. It seemed that Lady Fate had something in store for them, but what? Time could only tell…

Woohoo! Got this one done! Got Lastly! Its your birthday! :-D --- Anywho, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Lady-Minh did a freakishly great job at editing this chapter so drop a message to her! I'm willing to do requests if it seems logical enough with the way the story is going!
At her request, next chapter will have some action in it. I know this one was a tad too short, but hey! Schoolwork ain't exactly the easiest thing for a brand new frosh.
I'd like to shout a special thanks to Lady-Minh, Tiatoter, and Butterfly Monkey Babe Of Doom! They've been supporting this little writer since chapter one! Yay!
