The thunder clapped brilliantly outside her shut window, and she jumped when she heard it.

Raising eyes to the grayish sky outside, she sighed and tapped the sharp tip of the pencil to the clean sheet of paper again.

So far she had two lines.

'Project done by Higurashi Kagome and Tsukino Inuyasha.

We are writing our own myth taking place in feudal Japan.'

Rain beat heavily against her window and she heaved a great sigh as she harshly pushed her short hair from her face.

"Once upon a time in the feudal era of Japan, there was a… very powerful demon." Kagome scribbled her first sentence down as she tried to follow it up with another thought.

"The demon had white hair that dragged on the ground when he walked and silver eyes that were meant to hypnotize his enemies. He had many enemies because so many other demons believed that they could gain a wonderful title by defeating him, but he always won against them…" Kagome grinned from ear to ear, the lightness touching the deepest depths of her eyes.

-

"I actually decided to make him an angel, but everybody thinks that he's a demon because he's so mean and cold, even the gods forgot after the centuries that he was actually sent to earth to help somebody! Then, finally one god who still remembered his true entity sent down another angel and told her to save him and not persuade herself that she was any other being too! But then what happens is, while she's trying to find the demon that's actually an angel, she turns into a human! Or, at least she thinks she's a human. Anyway, so the days pass by and she still thinks she's mortal, until finally she's even surpassed his death - but now he's lost somewhere in the after-death because he supposedly didn't fulfill his purpose and she needs to help him now more than anything. The god that originally sent her tells her she that must go back in time to fix her mistake and then she realizes she's an angel again! She goes back in time and, in her search for the demon who's actually an angel, she meets another demon who she thinks might be him, but it actually turns out it's not! When she actually finds the other angel, she's scared of him, but then she knows he's actually the other angel so she tries to make him return to the heavens with her, even though it will bring her pain because she'll loose all of her friends that she's made! He doesn't believe her though, so she has to stay with him and try to persuade him that she's telling him the truth. In doing so, she falls in love with him and he falls in love with her too! When this happens their true forms are revealed and the boy angel is surprised to find out he had actually already helped the TWO people he was supposed to help out (and fulfilled his supposed purpose in life), instead of one, and the girl angel was sent down to earth for nothing because Fate would have sorted it all out, but then… They find they're happy with the outcome and live happily ever after. The end." Kagome smiled. "Do you like it?"

"It's too confusing. Why are girls so into romance crap like that? So we're writing a story that's essentially about a ton of stuff happening for no reason in the end cause Fate was just playing games?" Inuyasha grumbled, taking what she had of the story and goggling at it.

"You haven't even written that much down! You've only gotten to the part… His silver hair and silver eyes? Oh, he sounds attractive." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and returned the almost bare paper.

"Hey, it's better than you can do!" Kagome growled or snarled, glaring at him with murder in her eyes.

"Ehhhh… We can use it anyway though…" Inuyasha's face was of nervousness and dread, and he moved his hands in what could have been a potential defensive position if not a warding off stop sign sort of gesture.

"That's what thought." Kagome grinned triumphantly, waving the paper around with pride.

"Inuyasha." A voice interrupted them. It was Sesshoumaru. "Are you quite finished or need I leave without you?"

Inuyasha swerved his glare over to his half brother and turned from Kagome.

"I'll talk to you later Kagome." Inuyasha sniffed, walking ahead of his brother. Sesshoumaru continued to stare at Kagome.

"Hey Sesshoumaru!" Kagome smiled brightly.

Sesshoumaru inclined his head and was about to leave when she chirped sweetly, "How are you today?"

His pale brown eyes turned back to her slowly and he blinked. His neatly plaited sheets of platinum blonde hair tossed on the growing wind from its high ponytail. His black school uniform was flawless and barely shifted at all on his looming form.

"I'm doing okay." A smile turned his lips - maybe a curt one, but still breathtaking.

"You're a strange little kid." He commented, but she wasn't threatened by his almost offending 'nickname' - it was almost as if it was a pet name, or what was probably more likely, a more fitting amount of syllables to him.

Or maybe it was only Kagome that thought his voice and way of speaking was like poetry - it probably wasn't intentional and it may have been meant as an insult too. Only the thoughtful and almost scholar like glint in his eye convinced her that either his soul was contradicting him or he didn't mean for his words to be hurtful to her.

"You're pretty strange yourself - in a good sort of way." Kagome giggled back, leaning forward with a grin.

He nodded again, then, at the rude shouts of his brother, he turned from her.

"Bye-bye Sesshoumaru!" Kagome emphasized every syllable of his name, as if she were chanting, and giggled when he turned a questionable stare back at her.

She spun on her heel and began to proceed home, tasting the air on her tongue and recognizing its heaviness as the flavor of nearing rain. The scent was so fresh and beautiful, and she could almost feel it sliding down her skin.

'I love the rain!' She whispered in her mind, spinning in a wide circle as she stared up at the darkening sky.

"It's been raining so much lately." She murmured under her breath. "I wish it would rain forever…"
