Note: shesshy-kun's gal I read the story chained it was really good thanks for telling me 'bout it. Thank to all my reviewers! Mwah!
Kagome plopped down on her Purple silk bed spread. She had just got done shopping with the money she had gotten for her fifteenth birthday. Kagome looked up at the picture of the silver haired boy she had drawn when she was only seven. She had been adopted into an extremely wealthy family on her ninth birthday. People often asked her why she had kept the picture of the strange boy. She would always tell them it was because she wanted to remember the less fortunate years in the orphanage. Her real reason was she wanted to remember the boy who would visit her in her dreams. The boy seemed real, but yet he was intangible. The only time she saw him was in her dreams, which made her question is really existed or if he was something she made up, because she was lonely as a child.
"Are you real?" she asked the picture. It reminded her of when she used to talk to the picture, secretly wishing the boy was answer and save like he had promised. Kagome had gotten older though she didn't believe in the picture answering her questions, she hardly believed in the boy himself. Yet she couldn't completely erase his questionable existence from her memory. What frustrated her was that she seemed to know him from a distant place and time. Kagome was interrupted from her thoughts by her mother calling for her.
"Kagome I have a surprise for you."
Kagome sighed, got of her bed, and walked downstairs.
There was a drop dead gorgeous boy standing in front of her door with bags at his feat. Kagome turned to her mom and raised one eyebrow. Then said, "This is the surprise, you bought me a boy for my birthday, how desperate do you think I am?"
Her mom chuckles then protested. "No, Kagome I didn't buy you a boy! This is a guest coming to stay with us for a while."
"Oh" kagome's cheeks got warm and turned a brilliant red.
The boy spoke. "Hey, my names Inuyasha, and I presume your Kagome."
"Yeah that would be me" Kagome stated. Oddly enough the boy resembled the teen her old picture, except his hair was black, his eyes were black, and of course the dog ears were no where to be seen. (A/N: picture Inuyasha human form except in the outfit from the earlier chapter.)
"Kagome, why don't you show Inuyasha to his room, he will be taking the one next to yours." Kagome's mom suggested.
"Ok, then follow me" she said and then led Inuyasha up to his room. It was right across from hers.
"Thanks" he mumbled then opened the door and walked in to it.
"You need any help unpacking?" Kagome asked. Usually, Kagome wouldn't have offered, but for some reason, Kagome felt like she needed to be with him.
"Not really." He replied, but when he saw the happiness leave her pretty face he spoke again "If you really want to though than I guess you can help. Make sure not to open the small brown suitcase."
"Why?" she asked curiously, while eyeing the small suitcase.
"No, reason" he mumbled.
"What's in there playboy magazines, and other nasty stuff?" she asked while nudging him in the ribs with her elbow.
"No, but my boxers are." He stated.
"Oh oops" Her cheeks turned pink.
Inuyasha stared at her. She was beautiful, and yet somehow he felt like he knew her.
"What, do I have something on face?" She asked then ran to the mirror in his bathroom.
"No there isn't anything on your face" he laughed. Your face is perfect he thought.
"Well, then why were you staring at me?"
"I wasn't staring I just daze out easily."
"Sure you do."
An hour later and Inuyasha, and Kagome had finished unpacking all of his clothes. Kagome collapsed on Inuyasha's bed. "Whew, glad that's done, my feet are killing me."
Inuyasha laughed then sat down on the bed as well. "Don't expect sympathy from me, because you didn't have to help."
Kagome pushed her lower lip out farther than her upper one, and then made it tremble.
"Real coy, but it doesn't work." He told her. Inuyasha got up. Once he was up he grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her up off the bed.
"So, feel like showing me around your enormous house?" He asked then flashed a cheeky smile.
"Yeah, I have nothing better to do, but it's going to be really boring. Are you sure you want me to?" she asked. Inuyasha nodded.
"Whatever floats your boat." She said. Then she walked down the hallway and showed him all the bedrooms. Then she showed him the entertainment room, the kitchen, the dining room, and all the extras.
"Ok you ready to see the outside?" she asked. Inuyasha nodded. Kagome led Inuyasha outside.
"You have a pool, and a tennis court!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Yeah, but anyway what do you want to do now?"
"How about we go into the entertainment room." Inuyasha suggested.
Kagome shrugged then led the way into the massive entertainment room.
An hour had passed and now Kagome's mom was calling for her and Inuyasha.
"Come down for dinner." She called. Kagome got up from the coach and Inuyasha paused the movie they had been watching.. The two teens walked down stairs side by side and into the kitchen. Kagome sat down at the kitchen table and Inuyasha took the seat next to her.
"What are we having for dinner, mom?" Kagome asked.
"Stir fry." She answered.
Then Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, she couldn't help but stare he was hot.
"Hey, Inuyasha why are you staying with us anyway." She asked.
"Well, I was found unconscious outside a well. Some person called the hospital the next day I awoke in the hospital. The doctors said that they couldn't find any records of family for me. They asked me who my parents were, but I didn't know. In fact I couldn't remember anything except my own name." He answered
"Oh, that sucks. I'm sorry I asked, it wasn't any of my business."
"Don't be sorry it's not like it's tragic or anything." He reassured Kagome.
No, it's not okay. I can't remember anything and it's ripping me up inside. There are only a couple things I remember. A boy with silver hair who looked like me and an old woman I remember them. Also I know that I had to do something with someone. Then there is Kagome, I remember her somehow, but yet I've never met her.
"Inuyasha are you ok? You went off into a strange trance." Kagome asked
"Yeah I'm fine, I was just thinking." He answered
"What were you thinking about?" Kagome asked
"Nothing important" Inuyasha mumbled under his breath
Kagome ended the conversation there and began to eat her food, but for same reason she kept looking over at Inuyasha, and he kept looking over at her.
Kagome was lying in bed looking up at the picture she had drawn eight years ago.
"You promised I would see you again in eight years." Kagome uttered.
Wait, if I was seven when that happened, and I am fifteen now then that means it has been eight years. Then something came to her, Inuyasha looked almost exactly alike as the boy she had drawn. No there's no way that Inuyasha is the boy in my dreams and pictures. Then strange memories came flooding back to her, there was a boy dressed as a monk, a girl on a two tailed cat, and then there was the boy with the dog ears.
"Is this true are you really the boy in the room next to me or am I caught up in something bigger?" She asked the picture, but this time it was different, she knew she would get a reply tomorrow from the boy in the drawing, the boy named Inuyasha.
