AN: Hi everybody! I don't even know why I decided to write this….it's been spinning in my head for a while though. I guess it just reminded me of when I was still figure skating.
Oh and the title is a song by Amber Pacific. This chapter is very long, it's just the introduction.
Disclaimer: I'm only saying this once. I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. If you sued me you would only get a few dollars anyways.
If I Fall
Prologue
Tokyo:
"I can't do this anymore, I can't skate. It's bringing back to many bad memories. I thought I could, but I can't." Inuyasha thought to himself as he took his skates off after his morning practice. "I don't have a partner and this just isn't going anywhere for me."
He put his expensive black skates back into his bag. After he did that he put his street shoes back on and changed out of his training clothing. He put on a plain black t-shirt with a pair of slim-fitting jeans. And then he left the rink for what he thought would be the last time, he was never more wrong. His story was just beginning and he had no idea.
Kyoto:
She looked completely and entirely devoid of all emotion. Her skating was good, but in skating how you displayed yourself was everything. It was an art just like dance and it was a way of expressing yourself. She used to be one of the top skaters, but you would have never guessed it from her skating now. Her name was Kagome.
"Kagome, you're done for today," her coach said, "You're going to wear yourself out." Her coach was older and her graying hair was put up into a tight bun.
"Kaede, can I do just one more jump combination? Please?" The young girl in a black conservative practice outfit asked her coach.
"No, Kagome, it's not going to help you at all." Kaede responded. "If only there was a way I could get her to enjoy skating again, to bring back all the emotion she used to display on the ice. She used to skate with her soul." She thought as the blue-eyed girl skated of the ice and put her guards back on.
Kaede spent the next week trying to think of some way to get Kagome to skate the way she used to. And finally it just clicked, pairs skating. If she could find someone for Kagome to skate with, that needed it just as much as she did, maybe that would change her.
She scoured the list of pairs skaters looking at who was nearing retirement, who was looking for a partner, who didn't click with the partner they had at the time, and last but definitely not least, who was suffering from an emotional loss.
That last reason narrowed her search down to two skaters. But the second she saw his photo after the accident, she knew that he was the guy she needed. He was the guy who would change her skater for the rest of her life.
Now all she had to do was convince her student, and the other skater. That would be the challenge. However, it would definitely one worth working for.
A/N: Ok I realize this is extremely short, and the chapters WILL be longer. This is just the prologue. Not only that but they shouldn't skip around too much after the next chapter.
