(A/N: Hello fellow readers/writers! If you are currently reading this, that means you read my first chapter and couldn't wait to read the second one! :D Either that, or you couldn't believe how sucky it was so you came to check out if my second chapter was even worse... -_- But hopefully it is the former!

Anywho, this is my very first story on this website, even though I have been reading stories on here for about 4-5 years now *ashamed*. But I'm going to change that now!

So here is Amaya's meeting with Kagome! But wait...who is this handsome dude that she *bumped* into?

Review your guesses and thoughts about my story, whether good or bad. Hopefully good but if it is not, I am open to any suggestions for further chapters!

So here is chapter 2! Enjoy

Love,

Bri *Less than 3*)

Chapter 2:

Amaya's POV

After the final bell rang, I packed up my stuff and headed out of the classroom.

Should I go meet her at the main entrance? Kagome may seem nice...but what if she's just planning on teasing me about earlier? That's probably what it is. I should just go home-

"Amaya! Over here!" a cheerful voice cried out suddenly.

I looked up and mentally cursed myself. Without realizing it, my feet had carried me all the way to the main gate where Kagome was currently waving at me with all her might. I let out a sigh and walked over to where she was standing.

"Hey Amaya! I'm glad you came! I was wondering, would you like to come with me to the marketplace? I ran out of ramen and my friend gets cranky if I don't bring him some," she said with a laugh.

"I was actually going to head over there to buy ingredients for dinner tonight. So I would love to- I mean, I would be glad to accompany you. If it's not too much of a hassle..."

Dang it, how come I'm acting so shy. Man up Amaya!

But Kagome just replied with a smile, grabbed my hand, and pulled me towards the marketplace.

"So, does your friend really eat all that ramen by himself?" I asked while watching Kagome loaded her shopping basket full to the rim with these noodle packages.

She smiled and said "Let's just say, he has an endless appetite. Just like a dog!"

I couldn't help myself, her smile was contagious. Pretty soon, we were both doubled over with laughter.

She's actually laughing with me instead of at me. Maybe we can actually become great friends.

"I would love to meet this crazy friend of yours. He sounds like a real character!" I told her while still laughing.

That's when, for the first time, I saw her smile falter, just for a split second.

Damn, damn, damn! I spoke too soon earlier. She's going to abandon me now. Just like alan the others...

After her smile returned, she calmly stated, "That would be interesting to see. Let's go ring everything! It's almost dinner time and I don't want to make you late."

We went to the register, paid for our food, and walked back out onto the busy streets of the marketplace. We talked and laughed some more as we headed toward the subway station.

"My crazy ramen friend actually stabbed the subway one time. He thought it was a youkai attacking me!" she said as she started roaring with laughter at the memory. She stopped however when she saw the confused look on my face. She then looked guilty, like she almost gave away a huge secret.

"He thought it was a youkai? Is he foreign?"

She smiled softly and we both looked down in embarrassment and confusion.

*CRASH!*

Wrapped in my own thoughts, I was oblivious to my surroundings and ran straight into someone and ended up on the pavement with my groceries sprawled out all over the sidewalk.

Do not cry Amaya. You are fine. Just got a couple of scrapes. Do not be weak in front of Kagome.

My thoughts were interrupted as a masculine hand outstretched toward me. It was then that I heard his voice.

"Gomennasi, princess. I was wrapped up in my own thoughts and did not see to where I was walking toward."

I was shocked when I finally heard his deep, velvety voice.

But why is he talking like he's some old geezer?

I slowly lifted my head to see the man attached to the hand in front of me and unintentionally let out a small gasp. The old geezer turned out to be the most beautiful man (is it alright to call a man beautiful?) I had ever laid my eyes on. He had long, slick black hair that was tied up into a high ponytail. He was tall and looked like he was pretty built, but still had an elegant air surrounding him. But what shocked me the most were his deep and sorrowful, pure golden eyes that were looking straight at me.

Why does he look so sad?

As I was reaching up to grab his hand, I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard Kagome suddenly gasp.

"It can't be. There's no way."
