Unexpected Destinies

Chapter Two Unexplained Disappointment

Time dragged by and nothing seemed to interest him, it had been two weeks since Inuyasha had met Kagome Higurashi the woman that he found

surprisingly intriguing. He paced back and forth his living room trying to figure out just what it was about her. Throwing his hands above his head and

growling in frustration he flung back onto his lounge. "Why can't I stop thinking about her? It's not like she's sitting around thinking about me" he thought

to himself. Shaking his head to clear his mind he leaned back with his head stretching over the top of the lounge and closed his eyes. His mind finally

standing still in thought he started to relax until his phone started to ring "ugh who could that be?" he thought while hoping that if he left it long enough

before attempting to answer it the annoying ringing would stop.

Kagome hurried around her kitchen grabbing her cup and gulping down the coffee that she had made previously. The young woman was exhausted, once

again she had stayed back late at work and wasn't walking home till early hours of the morning. Ever since the shocking night that she had been

approached by Inuyasha whenever she thought she heard footsteps while walking home she would look over her shoulder expecting to see him there. She

didn't know what it was about him but for some reason the split second that the thought passed her mind her heart started to race that is until she turns

around to see that there's no one there. What bothered her most though was the small sinking feeling that she got when she realised that no one was there

which she could only compare to the feeling of disappointment.

Looking up at the clock Kagome growled at herself "ugh I'm going to be late which means once again I'll be stuck at work till the early hours of the

morning". Gulping down her coffee while picking up her keys and her work folders she put on her coat and rushed out of her apartment slamming the door

behind her. Rushing down the side walk Kagome cursed herself for falling back asleep after turning off her alarm "I can't believe I did that, why didn't I just

pull myself out of bed as soon as I heard it?" Dodging and weaving in between others she looked up to see that she was almost at her work building and a

small sigh of relief escaped her lips.

Growling in frustration at the fact that is phone hadn't stopped ringing like he hoped it would the annoyed hanyou lifted his phone to his head cracking an

eye open to quickly see the caller ID. Closing his eye again he flipped open his phone "What do you want?" he grumbled into the phone. "Oh now is that any

way to great your best friend?" "Yeah whatever, get to the point what do you want Miroku?" He heard a sigh on the other end. "It pains me that you think

so little of me Inuyasha and to think I call you my friend" His frustration increasing by the minute Inuyasha pinched the bridge of his nose and growled "If

you don't tell me what you want right now I'm hanging up" Realising that his friend was in no mood for his fun and games Miroku sighed "I don't want

anything, just thought I'd check up on you see how you were going" Frowning at the stupid reason his friend had given for calling him he grumbled into the

phone. "Keh that's stupid I'm the same as I always am" Miroku sighed "that's not exactly true ever since you went for that walk two weeks ago you've been

acting strange. It's like you're waiting for someone to show up" "Don't be stupid I've been acting the same as I always do" "Whatever Inuyasha maybe you

should go for another late walk see if you come back like your old self" Inuyasha's ears twitched as a thought crossed his mind "that's it, I'll go on the same

walk I did that night and I'm sure to run into Kagome again" He shook his head as he realised that his friend was still on the other end waiting for a

response "keh I don't know what you're talking about, I got work to do" and with that he hung up. Mirkou looked down at his phone and shook his head

"that Inuyasha always so hot tempered"

Kagome stared at her computer screen and watched as it started to get fuzzy. Looking up at the clock she realised that it was almost 2am. She sighed "I

really have to stop staying back so late" she thought to herself. Then she remembered why she stayed this late. Walking into work a few minutes late

wasn't a common thing for Kagome, on the rare occasions she normally rushed into her office and started work right away without anyone noticing. She

grumbled to herself "to bad that didn't happen today" instead she had run into her boss who was not impressed by her lateness. She could still hear his

frustrated voice in her head.

*Flashback*

"You're late Miss Higurashi" her boss stated. Gulping and looking up at him Kagome cleared her throat "yes sorry Mr. Onigumo it won't happen again" A

dark look came to his face that sent shivers down her spine "see to it that it doesn't, you know I don't tolerate lateness" she nodded in acknowledgement

"yes sir" and hurried to her office.

*End Flashback*

Shaking her head to clear the memory away Kagome switched off her computer, packed up her things and walked out of her office. She hated leaving this

late there was no one else around but the security guard who looked at her with a surprised expression before saying goodnight to her as she left the

building. Walking along Kagome was glad that she only lived a few streets away from her work. Wrapping her coat around herself tightly she kept her arms

tucked around her torso wishing she could walk faster. Making sure to listen out for any strange noises like normal Kagome swore she could hear footsteps.

Turning around to look behind her she saw nothing and once again she was filled with that feeling of disappointment that always seemed to confuse her.

Shaking her head she turned back to continue walking home only to let out a shriek and stumble backwards as she was faced with a pair of bright golden

eyes.
