Chapter 1 A Distant Glance

She was sitting alone at a table near the dance floor; she stared blankly at her plate with her head in her hands. Couples swayed across the dance floor. She sighed, debating whether or not she should go to the bar across the restaurant and drink away the memory of her prick ex-boyfriend yet again. She glanced across the dance floor, between the dancers she could see some guy sitting alone at his table. He looked about as depressed as she felt. He glanced up and caught her eye, she looked away quickly.

"Good evening Kagome," said an older lady dressed in the red and white uniform that all the waiters in the restaurant wore. Her long gray hair was pulled back into a pony tail at the back of her neck. "Good evening, Kaede." Kagome sighed. "Are you still upset about, what was his name?" "Hojo, and I'm not upset, I'm hurt." "Well I'll tell you something, there is a young fellow over there who seems rather interested in you." Kaede gestured at the guy across the dance floor. "Thanks Kaede, but I don't feel like playing matchmaker or blind date tonight. I'm just going to head home."

The restaurant was on the main floor of a small apartment building, mostly only staff lived there, but there were a few collage students there to. Kagome slowly walked up the stairs to her apartment. At her door there was a girl banging on it.

"Hello Sango." Kagome sighed. Sango turned and smiled as Kagome unlocked the door. "Kagome, I know you aren't feeling the greatest yet, but could you take care of Kyrara for me? Just for a week?" Sango begged. "I don't know Sango, where are you going now?" Kagome replied, sinking into the nearest arm chair. "I have to go on this stupid business trip, again." Sango huffed putting down the small cat carrier. "But I can tell this is a bad time for you, I should have called first. I'm sorry Kagome, I leave her with Kohaku." "Thanks Sango, you're right this isn't such a great time. Plus I'm working overtime this week." "Do you want me to stay for awhile?" Sango asked gently. "No it's ok Sango I'll be fine. Thank you though."

Sango picked up Kyrara's cage and walked slowly to the door. "See you later Kagome." She said opening the door. She slipped out of the door and shut it silently behind her. Thank God for friends, Kagome thought to herself. She got up and had a hot shower. Then she curled up in her arm chair with a mug of hot chocolate and her book.

In the street below Kagome's window stood the mysterious figure of the young man from the restaurant. He stood motionless in the darkness, watching the cars pass on the street. Who is she? He thought to himself. She looked so alone. A taxi pulled up to the curb. He walked forward to meet it. But as he reached for the handle, the door opened and a woman stepped out. Her short black hair, pulled up into a bun, with ornate feathers sticking out from it. Her eyes were a deep purple.

"Hello InuYasha, fancy meeting you here." She said, smiling at him. "Kagura. It's nice to see you." InuYasha said looking down. "Do you mind me taking your cab?" "Oh go ahead, unless you want to stay and share a drink with me." She replied, running her hand up his arm. "No Kagura not tonight, not again." InuYasha said turning to get into the cab. "Suit yourself then." Kagura said turning away from him.

InuYasha sat down in the cab and slammed the door. The driver turned around in his seat to look at him. "Still having lady troubles InuYasha?" "Shut it Miroku, I'm not having a good night." "Ok fine I'll take you to your apartment." Miroku turned around and started driving.

InuYasha leaned on the window. Why can't I get her out of my head? He thought. I don't even know her name. What is it about her that's so special? "Well here you go InuYasha, have yourself a good evening." Miroku said pulling up in front of a shabby apartment building. "Thanks Miroku, but some how I doubt that will happen." InuYasha replied getting out of the car.

Kagome sighed and closed her book. Who was that guy? Why I'm I thinking about it? I should be planning my revenge on Hojo … not thinking about some guy I saw at the restaurant. Am I finally over Hojo, and moving on? Kagome thought crawling into bed. I wonder what he's doing, and if he's thinking about me too. Kagome stared at her ceiling in the darkness, until finally sleep came.

InuYasha walked into his apartment and dropped his keys on the table. His computer screen was blinking "You've got mail." He walked over and opened the message; it was from his recent ex-girlfriend, Kikyo. The message read: Why? InuYasha, why can't we be together? I don't understand. Please come back to me! I miss you. Love Kikyo.

Dam it Kikyo, why can't you get it! We aren't meant for each other, I can't do this anymore. InuYasha thought slamming his fist into the table. He shut off the computer and silently got ready for bed. He laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. Is she thinking about me? Who are you?

What do you think so far? R&R please! more coming soon
