"Takuma-kun."

Kagome's soft voice of his name was so faint that even with Takuma's vampire hearing he had almost mistaken it for the wind. Takuma let his instincts reign free as he reflexively followed the sound. The two teens locked eyes for a timeless moment before it was levelly broken by the need to blink. Takuma could feel the gentle smile blossom on his face as he greeted her with an impromptu gesture. He was gifted with a beautiful smile in return.

Hojo watched in forced silence as an unnamed atmosphere cast over the two teens. He could do nothing but watch as his 'date' focus all her attention on the unknown alluring male as he made his way towards her. The grip on his water glass hardened and shook in great tension.

"We meet again, Kagome." Takuma voice flowed like first sun ray on virgin snow and flooded warmth to Kagome's stomach. He reached for one of her hands gently and brought it to his lips and graced her with a butterfly like kiss. His eyes not once left hers unattended. Kagome felt her throat lock and she was unable to reply.

A volt of electricity raced through her at his mere touch only to be amplified by the soft touch of his smooth lips. Her heart raced. Her breathing disabled.

"Takuma-kun, I see you."

The words left Kagome lips uncensored through her mind. Takuma-kun…why am I acting like this?

At her reply, Takuma could not help himself. Amusement dominated and illuminated his eyes while he gave her a charming smile.

"Hai! I see you, Kagome."

A flashback of that fateful day showed in both of their minds and faint blushes spread over their cheeks. The ugly presence of envy made its grand entrance in Hojo's heart. He could not believe that the unknown male had so smoothly stolen his date right in front of him.

Who does he thinks he is?

His dark blue eyes were ablaze in malicious glints and his fist tightened on the glass cup making spider-web like cracks.

"Who are you!"

The two seemingly not notice anything around them. They were chatting in hushed tones in their own little world. Takuma had not yet let go of Kagome's hand.

Hojo stood from his seat and ripped Takuma's hand away from Kagome's. The girl let out a frustrated scream as the cool air hit her hand.

"Hojo-kun, what is your problem?"

"My problem? Higurashi, you're here with me and yet you're giving all your attention to this blonde pretty boy!" Hojo pointed an enraged finger at Takuma.

Guilt flooded into Kagome's being, but was quickly squashed when Takuma's smooth voice echoed through her ears.

"I apologize. I didn't mean to intrude on your outing. Kagome is a dear friend of mine." he extended his hand. "Ore wa Ichijo Takuma. Hajimemashite"

Hojo eyed his hand skeptically before a grin broke out on his face, and he accepted. "Boku wa Sasaki Hojo. Hajimemashite."

Kagome watched the interaction between the two males, wondering how Takuma can easily make someone his friend. She laughed at herself, feeling silly because she, herself, had no trouble making an abundant amount of friends where ever she goes. "Ne, ne Takuma-kun, where's Kaname-san and Yuuki-san?"

He looked at and her heart fluttered. "They are around here somewhere. Our school is closed for construction at the moment."

"Well, Takuma-san, I think it's time for you to leave. Kagome and I wish to finish our date." Hojo said, a little bit too cheerful, throwing his arm across her waist.

Kagome shrieked at the sudden touch and balled her hand up to keep from smacking the arrogant look off of Hojo's face. Since when did he call me 'Kagome'?

They missed the darken look in the blonde's emerald eyes when he bid them farewell, they also did not hear him curse Hojo's very presence. What are these feelings? Jealousy? No, she is a good friend. Isn't she?

As soon as Takuma was out of sight and ear shot, Kagome twisted out of Hojo's grasp. "Nani ittai, Hojo-kun. Why did you do that?"

He yanked her into a hard embrace. "Kagome, I like you so much. I don't want someone else to take you from me."

"What are you talking about? Let me go?"

"Boku no gārufurendo dekirudarou?"

She stiffened. "Hojo-kun?" Kagome looked up at the boy, who staring at her with sincere dark blue eyes. "Gomen…Atashi wa anata no gārufurendo dekimasen."

Hojo tighten his hold when she tried to pull away. "Iie! Kagome, you have to be my girlfriend!"

"Hojo-kun let me go! I can't be your girlfriend! I already have someone I like!"

His eyes darken. "Is it Takuma-san?"

"Nani!" her heart skipped a beat like always when his name was mentioned. "I…iie! Takuma-kun…Takuma-kun is just a friend."

Hojo shook her, not caring that he was starting a scene. "Then who, Kagome! Tell who is keeping you from being my girlfriend!"

"Because she is with me." A hand clamped down on Hojo's shoulder.

Hojo twirled around to face the tall, handsome brunette and his throat closed up at the calm, piercing gaze he was given.

"K…Kaname-san…?" Kagome whispered.

"Kagome-san." the way he spoke her name was like rubbing silk together.

What is Kaname-san doing?

He looked at Hojo. "Release her."

The blue eyed boy immediately removed his hold on Kagome's waist.

"Come here, Kagome-san."

"H…Hai!" Forcing her legs to move, Kagome made her way over to Kaname, blushing when he in turn wound his arm around her waist.

Kaname pulled her closer to him, continuing to speak to Hojo. "You will leave her alone now."

Hojo dumbly nodded his head and ran away from the unnervingly beautiful man.

Once Hojo was gone Kaname released his grip on Kagome and stepped away at an appropriate distant. "Ore o yurushi. It looked like he was giving you trouble."

It took a moment for Kagome to gather her thoughts before she realized that he was speaking to her. "Ah, it's okay Kaname-san. Honto ni arigatogozaimashita."

Kaname gave her a gentle smile. "Anata doitashimashite, Kagome-san. You helped a good friend of mine, so it is only proper for me to return the favor."

"Onii-sama!"

"Yuuki."

The girl who came with him clamped onto his arm. "Mou, Onii-sama, why did you leave all of a sudden like that?"

"Gomen ne, Yuuki. I left because I saw that someone was giving Kagome-san some problems."

Yuuki glanced over at Kagome. "Ah! You're the one with the strange ojii-san!"

Kagome laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head. "You'll have to forgive my senile jii-chan. He didn't mean any harm."

The younger girl continued to look at her with piercing reddish brown eyes and Kagome squirmed a little. Yuuki's face split in a smile. "I like you! Want to be my friend!"

"Ala? Uhm…Sure, Yuuki-san. I'll be your friend."

Yuuki held out her hand. "Just Yuuki is fine. We're friends now!"

The raven haired girl laughed. "Right! Yuuki-chan, do you also attend Cross Academy?"

The girl nodded. "Un! The chairman is my adopted Otou-san. Why is Kagome-chan going to apply for the Academy?"

Kagome nodded. "Yes, my Mama is supposed to get me and application…" she glanced at her watch. "Oh, no! I have to go!"

"Kagome-san, what is the matter?" Kaname asked.

"I'm going to be late. I have to go. Arigato for the help, Kaname-san. Yuuki-chan, I hope to see you if I get into Cross Academy!"

"Okay! Sayonara, Kagome-chan!"

Once Kagome was out of sight Yuuki's cheerful expression turned somber. "Onii-sama, did you have to act so friendly with her?"

"Yuuki."

She clamped onto his arm tighter. "Iie, Onii-sama is mine!"

Kaname curled his fingers under her chin, tilting it back and placed a soft kiss on her nose. "Yuuki, you can call me Kaname, now."

"Hai, Kaname." She looked in the direction that Kagome left. "Is she the one?"

The older vampire nodded. "Yes, she will replace you as the school perfect at the Academy."

"Tadaima!" Kagome called out as she entered the house.

"Okaerinasai, Kagoem-chan. I have your application for Cross Academy on your dresser. You can take it once you get back." Nodoka instructed.

"Arigato, Mama." Kagome started for the stairs.

"Oh, Kagome!" her mother's voice stopped her.

"Hai, Mama. I need to hurry. I'm already late because of that stupid date."

"On your dresser there's a bracelet. It will help you." Nodoka's grey-blue eyes were serious.

Kagome nodded. "Hai, Mama."

Kagome shouldered the light blue bag on her shoulders. Taking a deep breath she climbed into the well, the beautiful swirls of blue and pink light danced around her form as she landed gracefully on the other side. As she looked up a strong, sword calloused hand reached out for her, smiling she accepted the proffered hand.

Once she settled on her feet she greeted the man front of her. "Konichiwa, Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Miko…" he turned. "Come the others are waiting."

"Hai!"

Well she's back in the feudal era. And it only took…6 chapters. Anyway, review, they make both me and CrescentMelody very happy!
