Kagome slowly sighed as she got out of Coney Island.

"Thank God that's over." She mumbled. Kagome had quit her job at Coney Island and decided to work at the Central Park Zoo since they did treat animals better in a way. With a smile and a small laugh, Kagome made her way towards the zoo to see the penguins, whom which would be one of the animals she would be looking after the next day. She quickly got into the H.Q only to see a large mess. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed, covering her mouth. "Private?" She called, glancing around. "Rico? Skipper! Kowalski?" Receiving no answer, Kagome bit her lip.

"Shit," She cursed before she caught scent of something. Quickly, Kagome lifted up some things until she found her book, still in one peace. With a sigh, she held it closely. It was then Kagome noticed a short black strand of hair sticking out from between the pages. Kagome pulled it out before giving it a sniff. Humming in confusion, Kagome quickly flicked through her book before coming to a page on legends. Staring back at her Was the mocking look of Inuyasha, herself and... Kikyo. Shutting the book, Kagome shut her eyes tightly, trying not to cry.

"A-ah!" A pained gasp erupted from her throat as she fell to her knees, agony flowing through her body. "D-damnit!" She cried out. "Why me? Why me?! Stop it!" She screamed. Kagome hunched over until the pain stopped. She gasped for breath, gripping her head. Raising her head, Kagome wiped away her tears. Slowly getting up, Kagome glanced around.

"Was this the guy 'Blowhole's' doing?" Kagome thought with a frown. "Where are the penguins? I feel so worried." Holding her book close, Kagome slowly made her way out of the H.Q and out into the fresh air. Glancing back at the Penguin habitat, Kagome felt her frown deepen.

"Goddamnit, guys," She muttered. "I'm so worried about you." Looking away, Kagome decided to greet the other animals. She made her way towards the Otter habitat when she bumped into someone. "Oof!" She cried out, falling to her butt.

"I am terribly sorry, miss." A male's voice reached her ears and a hand was in her line of vision.

"O-oh, it's all right." Kagome grabbed the stranger's hand and he hauled her up. He pulled a little bit too hard and Kagome stumbled forward and into the stranger's chest. He grabbed her shoulders to steady her balance. "KYAA! I AM SO SORRY, SIR!" Kagome pulled back quickly, bowing low. "I-I'm really clumsy so please forgive me!"

"It's all right, miss. No harm done." The stranger said with a smile. Kagome straightened her back and a stunning crystal blue eye met her aqua ones. Frozen on the spot, Kagome blushed as the man sent her a charming smirk. He had long darkish silver hair and he wore a nice grey business suit. Over his right eye was a strange mechanical device. Kagome felt like she knew him but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"O-oh, okay, s-sir." She nodded. She turned bright red as he chuckled softly. "A-ah, how rude of me! I-I'm Kagome H-Higurashi, sir." Kagome fumbled with her words. The man grabbed her hand, bending down.

"Damien. Damien Noble." He murmured, kissing the back of Kagome's hand. Kagome sputtered out incoherent words, unable to think of what to say. "Maybe we can meet again. Say, by me buying you dinner? I want to apologise for bumping into you."

"I-it's fine, Mr Noble! Y-you don't need to!" Kagome insisted, becoming flustered.

"Wh-why am I becoming so embarrassed?" She thought. Suddenly, he leaned in close with a small pout on his lips.

"But I want to, Miss Higurashi. Please?" Damien stared at her with his beautiful blue eye and she just couldn't say no.

"All right, I guess. I live in the Dawn Flats(I don't know what to call it e-e), room 86. S-so, tomorrow at 8?" Kagome fiddled with her fingers as Damien sent her a suave smile.

"It's a date!" He tapped her nose softly, making the Asian female squeak.

"A-all right! S-see you then, Mr Noble!" Kagome gave him a quick wave before hurrying off, her face as red as a tomato. 'Damien' watched her go as his expression softened.

"See you then, Kagome." He muttered before shoving his hands in his pockets and heading out.
