Chapter 1

"-But what is life without love? Life is a mocking story of your defenseless soul, to lose one's love is to lose one's life. But what is thy wish? To lose thy love to gain another? It is a story only one can tell."

"My wish is only to lose the life of my husband, so I may go to the one I truly love! What is not more worthy of a wish then to wish a wish of true love?"

"Stop!" shouted the director. Kanazawa University's performing arts was having adductions for the fall play, 'A wish or a life?' "That was the best acting I have seen all year! You two have the parts," he yelled. Sesshomaru, a golden eyed, silver hair, handsome sophomore and Kagome a Blue eyed, black haired, slim, Freshman was trying out. Sesshomaru and Kagome had never met before, but there stage presents together was, to say the least, magnificent. Sesshomaru bowed his head showing no emotion, he never did, where as Kagome ran up to the director and hugged him. She was quite eccentric. She left after he director called out when they would be practicing and went to find Sesshomaru to introduce herself. If they were going to be working together for the next few weeks, she might as well know him. She caught up to him.

"Hi, my name Kagome, I didn't get a chance to introduce myself before." She said as she stuck out her had. He didn't take it, but raised an eyebrow.

"Stupid girl, it does not matter who you are, or who I am. We are only doing this play together. Let me make it clear to you that I do not intend to become your friend, nor do I care for your name, now if you please I have a class to attend to." Sesshomaru said as he walked off without another word.

"Right," Kagome said to herself as she turned around and headed to meet her best friend and dorm-mate, Sango. She found her friend outside on a blanket under a tree. "Hey Sango," She said as she sat down next to her friend on the blanket.

"Hi Kagome, How were the auditions?" Sango asked handing her, her favorite sandwich which included Tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles and Mayo all on a sub roll. She bit into it and swallowed before she answered.

"They went great, I got the female lead, but the male lead is a real jack ass." Kagome explained. "His name is Sesshomaru, he's hot, but evil," The two girls heard a snort. Then something came down from the tree they were under.

"My brother is not "Hot"" The thing said. It was a boy there age and had silver hair, golden eyes and was wearing a red t-shirt and a hat.

"Inu-yasha!" Kagome yelled, "SIT!" Inu-yasha fell face first into the ground with a loud "thump". Sango started cracking up.

"How. did you. Do that!" she gasped in-between breaths.

"Prayer beads. they work well," Kagome stated.

"Are you a demon?" Sango asked Inu-yasha, who was getting up and spitting the dirt out of his mouth. He started to growl. Kagome went over and took off his hat. There lay the cutest dog ears that Sango had ever seen. "AHH THERE SO CUTE!" It was normal that someone wouldn't freak out if there was a demon around. They lived like on of the humans, well, most of them.

Kagome started to rub his ears feeling them, Inu-yasha stated to pant in comfort but then realized what he was doing and smacked her hands away. Inu-yasha snapped him hat away from Kagome and put it a-top his head again.

"He's half," Kagome explained. Inu-yasha growled at her. "Sesshomaru is his half brother, he's a full demon and a jack ass I know but I would be careful,"

"You know your not the only Miko around here," Sango reminded her. It was true there was another Miko, Kikyo. They both laughed and Inu-yasha went back up the tree.

"So how's your engineering classes going?" Kagome asked Sango. Sango was taking Engineering classes to get out of running the restaurant her father owned.

"There going great! I got an A on that paper I was so worried about." She stated. "How's the music and art classes going?

"They are awesome. Professor King told me that when I'm a senior I'll most likely get a record deal," Kagome was studying drama, art and music, "When's the next time your going home for a visit?"

"I'm going to go this coming weekend, my brother wants me to," Kagome explained. "Please some with me?" Sango laughed, "I'm not kidding! My mom said I could invite someone to come with me?"

"Really?" Kagome nodded. "Sure that would be really fun. Then later you can come with me to my house." They both nodded and started planning everything out.

-------------------------MEANWHILE--------------------

Sesshomaru walked on the ground to his music of blues. Blues was Sesshomaru's favorite kind of music. He loved to sing to slow rhythms and listen to them. Even though his major was drama, he still took classes in music and art. But there was one class he had to take that he did not like. Engineering. His father had made him take it. But that was not the worst part of it all. The worst part was that his half-breed - half brother was also taking that class. So this meant has actually had to see his brother two time a week in that class. But then they also have family dinner night which was worse. Inu-yasha was allowed to invite friend to each dinner. Every time he invited this girl that was in the engineering class.

"Sesshomaru!" Someone called down that hall to him. He noticed that the voice belonged to Luna, the president of his "fan club" They thought of him as a god. They've been to every play he has been in and they keep posters of him over there beds. Lately Luna has been getting in the habit of pretending that Sesshomaru was her boyfriend.

"Oh Sesshomaru!" she called. He ignored her. But she did catch up with him and held on to his arm. "Silly you, didn't you hear me calling? Oh well, that's not important, what is, is that I haven't seen you in almost four hours! Why don't we make it up tonight at my house?" she asked seductively. He pulled away, still heading toward his blues class. All he heard from her was a 'hem.'

"So Inu-yasha, what are you studying?" Kagome asked looking up the tall tree at the semi- handsome young man after Kagome had left to go to her next class.

"Engineering and cooking," He responded.

"Your going to be a chef? That's Awesome! Tell me when you open a restaurant so I can go there." Kagome yelled. Inu-yasha smirked.

"Sure, I'll make sure to give you a free meal," he said hopping down, "I'm cooking for my family tonight, I've already invited Kikyo before, you want to come?" Kagome jumped up and hugged an now, very surprised Inu-yasha.

"Really? This is so cool! Thank-you!" She said really fast. She let go of him and looked at him cautiously.

"What?" he asked annoyed. Kagome eyed him up and down.

"I've been told never to trust a skinny chef," She said and giggled. Inu-yasha smirked.

"I'm not skinny," He protested.

"Yes you are, your skinny and weak," Kagome said smiling. He raised and eyebrow and smirked. He, all the sudden, picked her up and started running around campus with her in his arms. She wrapped her hands around his neck to stop from falling. She was half laughing, half yelling at him, but then, they ran into someone.
