Chapter 8. Begin The Beginning

**KAG POV**

After finally finishing my homework, I let myself sleep. And it was a pretty hard thing to do considering InuYasha kept texting me, bugging me about coming over to his house to study, and ditching Koga. When I finally collapsed on my bed and fell asleep, I dreamt.

My dream was full of mini InuYasha's. They were all so tiny I had to make sure I wouldn't step on one and kill him. They were all flexing obnoxiously and singing 'Sexy and I know it.' My arms and legs were eventually tied down to a chair and I was forced to watch them sing and dance around. Suddenly a distant voice broke into my dream, making the mini InuYasha's scatter and flee.

"…ake up. Come on, wake up sleepy head." The voice soothed to me, rousing me from my deep slumber. The voice, calm and deep, was distant, but at the same time it seemed like I could reach out and grab it.

"Wake up sleeping beauty." It sounded like whoever was calling for me was coming closer. The voice was soft. It was nice.

"We have things to do," It continued. Just who's voice was that?

"Come on, get up." I could feel that the person was right next to me. But my eyes wouldn't open. I was to tired.

"Princess, come on I know you can hear me." Finally registering what the voice had said, my eyes snapped open. I wasn't that tired. 'No. There was now way he could be..he wasn't…he just couldn't.'

I rolled over, squinting as my tired eyes fluttered open. There was someone kneeling beside my bed staring at me intently…. staring at me intently with a pair of golden eyes. I opened my mouth to scream but my throat wouldn't cooperate with me. It was to dry from sleeping my with mouth open. His smiled amusedly as he watched me wake up, finally registering that it was him by my bedside.

I rolled away from him and groaned into my pillow. "What the hell are you doing in my room? How did you get in here? MAMA!" I yelled, the sound being muffled by the padding in my blankets and pillows. What in the actual hell was InuYasha Takahashi doing in my bedroom? He'd he been watching me sleep? 'Man, what a creeper…'

InuYasha only stood up, the smug ass smile never slipping from his face. "Your mama was the one who let me in. I told her we have another study date. She such a nice woman.." He muttered, shoving his hands in his back pockets making his shirt stretch over his chest. I sat up and scratched the back of my head.

"Where…what? Bu-but why didn't you just text me or something?" My voice was strained and groggy. "I told you I have a date with Koga today." His smile faltered at the sound of Koga's name, but he shook it off.

"Yes you did. But I told you that you weren't going with him. Your coming with me."

I stared at him dully. "Oh really? Are you gonna make me?" He opened his mouth to say something but I held up my hand to stop him. "Never mind. Let me guess…thats why your here right now, right?" He nodded his head, allowing his lips to spread apart in a very preditorial grin.

"I told you, you would regret telling me to come get you." He grunted, starting for the door. "Get dressed." He stopped just short of the door and turned back to me, chuckling as he looked me over. "By the way…nice hair." He said cheekily, winking. And with that, he slid out of my room and into the living room.

I ripped the comforter off my warm body once he was gone and flew into my bathroom. I flicked on the light and looked at myself in the mirror, letting out a small, strained shriek. I looked terrible. I mean really terrible. My hair was sticking straight up and smashed to the side of my head and face that I'd been sleeping on. My pink tank top was twisted funny and my black shorts were also sticking to my body at a weird angle. I had dark purplish circles under my eyes and my eyes themselves were bloodshot. I had a small drool stain on the side of my face and my lips were dry and cracked from breathing through my mouth all night.

"Shit." I said to myself. Great. Just great. Im so glad InuYasha had seen me like that. I would have preferred to sleep a thousand years, dreaming of mini dancing InuYasha's, then him seeing me like that. I ground my teeth together as I heard InuYasha laughing at me from outside my room. 'I hate him. I really hate him…'

xXx

"Bye mom!" I yelled before shutting the front door behind me. I adjusted my frilly white tank under my cardigan and hurried down the front steps. The early morning birds were out chirping and the clouds were big, white and fluffy as they roamed the sky. InuYasha was already on his motorcycle, patiently waiting for me on the side of the street.

He was wearing dark jeans, a red and faded teeshirt underneath his leather jacket. He looked casually stylish, something I found I could never accomplish. He watched me from behind his aviator's as he revved up his engine; a signal that I better get moving. I rolled my eyes, thinking back to this mornings breakfast.

I had sat through another family breakfast with InuYasha after I got myself dressed. I hadn't even eaten and neither had InuYasha. Although, Inuyasha pretended to be charming and whitty and Souta thought he was some sort of super hero and my mother just looooved him. I hated it. My face actually hurt from scowling all morning.

I grabbed my designated helmet from his outstretched hand and hopped onto the back of his bike. I hated how arrogant he got every time I put my arms around his torso. "Get that smug look off your face before I slap it off myself." I growled over the roar of the engine.

He snorted. "My, my. Aren't we feisty today?"

I squeezed a bit tighter around his stomach, making him grunt a little. "Yes I am. Don't mess with me today InuYasha." I warned.

He snickered and took off down the road. To where? I had no idea. He hadn't told me where he was taking me, only that I should shut up and hold on tight. His words not mine.

We drove around half of the city before he finally slowed his bike in front of a large restaurant building. The building's neon sign advertising its name flashed brightly before my eyes. I took off my helmet and stared up at the building. Maggiano's little italy huh? I thought to myself as InuYasha jumped off his the bike and held out his hand for me. I smiled as I took his hand and he seemed almost bashful.

"You-Your taking me to lunch?" I asked, disbelief clearly aparent in my tone.

InuYasha shrugged. "Yea. You didn't eat anything this morning and I just thought that you might be hungry. Are you hungry?" I nodded and he smiled. "Ok then shut up and lets go eat."

"Ok but lets get one thing straight; this isn't a date." I said, folding my arms across my chest.

He scoffed, mimicking my stance. "Don't flatter yourself, Princess."

I give him a playful glare as he placed his hand behind my back, walking me through the restaurant's revolving door.

Looking around once I'd made it inside, I let out a small gasp. The inside was a lot bigger then it seemed from outside. It was dark, but cozy. The only light was coming from big elegant, golden, chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling. Huge black booths, that seemed soft and plush, were pushed to the back of the walls, surrounding the whole restaurant. Small candles and lamps illuminated each of the darkened booths, giving them a romantic feeling. The tables had a red and black checkered pattern on the table runners.

InuYasha grinned as he saw me staring wide-eyed the atmosphere.

"Nice isn't it?" He asked and I could only nod dumbly. He chuckled and put his hand behind my back again, leading me up to the check in podium.

There was a small blond girl with huge blue eyes, talking on the phone about a later reservation that hung up the phone and turned to InuYasha and I. She looked InuYasha over and smirked, her eyes becoming lustful. She licked her lips and flipped her hair over her shoulder. I wrinkled my nose by her openly ogling InuYasha like he was something to eat. It was revolting.

"Hi and welcome to Maggiano's. How many are in your party?" She purred, batting her eyes and pushing her arms up next to her sides so her boobs practically popped out of her shirt. She was teasing him. I didn't even think she noticed I was standing right next to the both of them.

"Booth for two please." InuYasha replied smoothly, winking at her. I held back the urge to throw up as her high pitched giggle filled the air. InuYasha too joined in with his own chuckling.

'Well this is…interesting.' I thought as the hostess grabbed two menu's and motioned for us to follow her. I picked up my stride, making my steps bigger so I was walking in front of InuYasha, hoping that he couldn't see the blond wiggling her butt in her hight fitting jeans. He didn't need to see that.

InuYasha suddenly leaned forward, letting his hot breath brush the corner of my face and neck. His voice is hushed so the blond couldn't hear, "You don't look vary good as a green eyed monster Princess."

I rolled my eyes and scoffed and InuYasha snickered behind me. "Oh please. Me be jealous of her? Ha. Thats funny. You're a funny person InuYasha." I gestured my head toward her. "You go at her all you want. She just seemed to stupid….Even for you." He leaned away from me but didn't stop grinning.

The blond led us to a huge booth that could seat about six and that was set up away from where the main dining area was in a secluded area. It felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant, though there were a few other's dinning. I figured that this sort of restaurant was only busy during dinner. I slid my way into the cool booth and InuYasha sat across the table from me.

"Your server should be with you shortly. Enjoy your meal." The blond said, winking at InuYasha. He grinned right back her, his face flirtatious. After she finally left, I picked up my menu to hide my red face.

How could I be jealous of that…that girl? Slut. Over InuYasha of all people? No. I wasn't jealous. I was just disgusted that they were obviously flirting with each other. 'Yea that's it. I was disgusted,' I assured my self, nodding my head a little.

But a little voice in the back of my mind whispered, 'Don't deny it. You were jealous Kagome.'

Pushing the voice to of my mind, I started reading over the wine list, pretending InuYasha didn't exist, when he placed a hand on my menu and pulled it away from my face. A serious look had settled on his features, but I could see the small grin twitching at the corners of his mouth as he fought off the urge to smile or laugh.

"What do you want? I was trying to read that." I said looking down and picking at the end of my cloth napkin absently, not looking him in the eye.

"Come on, Princess. Don't tell me you were jealous."

I jerked my head up and threw my napkin down. It was my only defense. "Oh yeah right. In your dream's InuYasha." I turned my head in a completely different direction.

InuYasha, being ever persistent, kept pestering me. "C'mon. Talk to me."

I slowly looked back over to him and he wiggled his eyebrow in a funny fashion, causing me to roll my eyes.

Chuckling, I asked, "Alright. What do you want to talk about?" I folded my hands on the table and looking straight into his golden orbs. He grinned at me in a cute way, causing me to shift in my seat. Man I hated it when he did that.

xXx

Kagome giggled before straightening her back, placing her small, delicate hands on the table. "Alright. What do you want to talk about?"

I grinned, happy she was talking and not ignoring me. Feeling bold, I asked casually, as if discussing the weather, "How about we talk about your friend Koga?"

She immediately shook her head and stared at me with a little fire behind her eyes, something I found to be completely adorable. "How about we don't? Koga's my business. He's off limits." She sent me a heated gaze, daring me to say something about it.

I took a breath, trying to calm my roused inner demon. 'Our mate's teasing us.'

I nodded a little, both to Kagome and my inner voice. "Ok fine. We won't talk about that flea-bag." She made a face. "What about your family?"

"What about it? You've met my family." She said, looking down and twisting the ring around on her finger.

"Well..what about your father? Ive never met him before." I said noticing how she visibly flinched before looking down into her lap, her eyes suddenly glazed over with emotion. I suddenly felt like an asshole for brining it up. "Hey, you know Kagome, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Whatever it is."

She shook her head forcing a smile on her lips, though its sad and it makes my heart ache. He eyes wandered up to my face, but this time, they were dull and unconnected, laking their usual spark. "No. Its…its ok I just.. He…." Stumbling over her word's, she took a breath and swallowed. She looked like she was preparing herself for spilling her deepest darkest secret. Finally she uttererd a quiet, "He died when I was seven and Souta was four. It was a… car accident."

'Man I AM an asshole for brining this up!' I wanted too kick myself making Kagome bring up such a painful memory, especially since thats the very last thing I want to do. I tried quickly to think of something comforting to her, but I couldn't so I don't.

Seeing this, she continued. "The guy in the other car had been recently divorced. The wife had taken the kids and moved far away and he'd become depressed. The only way he knew how to feel better was crawling inside of a whiskey bottle and drowning out the world. He had been drinking heavily that night…." She mumbled, trailing of her sentence. Her voice started to shake, her heartbeat beginning to be a loudly within her chest. Sensing and smelling her sadness, I grasped her hand in mine and squeezed a little.

"And after his funeral, my mother went into a deep depression. Before I knew it, I had taken over the position of being the adult of the house. Mom would sit up in her room and cry and cry for day's, doing nothing but rambling and sobbing. Gramps would try and help, but with his old age, he just couldn't manage it. And Souta had been to young to know what was going on, so I cared for him and my mother. I helped her when she wouldn't eat or when she wouldn't bathe because she didn't see the point in anything anymore. The moment my dad had died, he'd taken my mother's heart with him. Finally after a few years, she got back on her feet, but I secretly think she still hasn't moved on. And, well…. I really just blocked out dad's death." I could see her brown eyes starting to fill with tears.

Before I knew whats happening or what the hell I was doing or thinking, I opened my mouth and told her something Ive never told another soul beside's Miroku and Sango."My mom died from cancer when I was six ."

Her head snapped up and stared at me with her tear filled eyes. "Oh InuYasha Im so sorry."

I shook my head, trying to shove off my own sadness I was starting to feel. "Its okay."

She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, giving me a soft smile. "Was…was she pretty?"

I felt my own smile form on my lips, and stared down at the table. "Yea. She was really pretty."

Kagome continued to smile, making me feel a hell of a lot better. I rubbed her hand as we both started a nice conversation of small talk after getting our secrets of our chests. That was when our waiter finally decided to come over to our table and serve us. He was tall and good looking I supposed for a mortal man. He seemed a little over eager as he asked Kagome' what she would like to drink. I suddenly had the urge to drive a steak knife into his neck as he continued to openly stare at her.

After Kagome ordered an ice tea and I ordered a soda, I squeezed Kagome's hand out of possessiveness as the waiter told the daily specials to Kagome's boobs.

'Our mate. She's ours. OURS.' My inner demon snarled furiously.

'I know that. I know what she is. Ill never let her get into the hands of some greasy buss boy. Trust me.'

When the waiter, Magatsuhi his name tag read, brought our drinks over to our table, Kagome picked up her menu, sipping her free hand out of my own, leaving it painfully empty.

When Magatsuhi asked what we would like to order, Kagome said she'd only liked to get the angel hair pasta with the sauce on the side. I ordered the Arugula Flatbread pizza, glaring dagger's at Magatsuhi head, mentally shooing him away.

After the waiter boy left, Kagome and I talked. We talked about school, we talked about our project that was due monday morning and then we talked about our friends.

The time passed surprisingly fast as Kagome continued to chatter on and on about her daily life. When Magatsuhi came back to us fifteen minuets later with our food, I continued to eye Kagome. It was becoming increasingly harder to let my eyes stray from her for more then a few seconds at a time.

When Magatsuhi leaned down to slide Kagome's food onto the table, leaning a tad to close to Kagome for my liking, I let my face become dark and hard, emanating a small growl that is oblivious to Kagome. Fortunately for me, Magatsuhi heard me perfectly, obviously getting the message. He took one fleeting a terrified look before running away like he's a startled bunny.

Our lunch was a fun one. I chuckled at Kagome's smart whited comebacks and she laughed full heartedly when I told her jokes. The food was delicious and Kagome's company was perfect.

Once we were both finished eating, Magatsuhi came back over and asked if we wanted desert. Kagome and I looked over at the same time, and laughed with each other. Dessert? We were way to full for dessert.

When Magatsuhi slipped the check onto the table, I ignored Kagome's meaningful stare as I snatched it away from her. There was no way in hell I was going to make her pay for her own food. Especially when the idea of coming to the restaurant was my idea. I pulled out my wallet, paying the bill with my platinum card.

Kagome's mouth slightly parted and hung down in a silent gasp. "What?" I asked as she ogled the shiny silver card.

"How…how come you have a platinum card? Most seventeen year olds don't have that kind of cash."

I knew that she would eventually figure out I was filthy rich but I didn't want her finding out in that particular way.

"Okay one," I said holding up a clawed finger, "Im not seventeen, Im two hundred and fifteen. I just look like Im about seventeen, thank you very much. And two" I added another finger. "Well you see the thing is that…Im filthy stinking rich." I said, practically whispering the last part. Then I added sheepishly, "Im pretty sure my brother, Sesshomaru, uses one dollar bills as toilet paper."

I searched her face for some kind of reaction. Shock or surprise, anything. But I found nothing but a blank stare. Nothing. She just nodded her head blankly as she mulled it over.

After a few minuets of her saying absolutely nothing, her kind of creeping me out, she spoke. "Can you buy a yacht?"

Suspiciously, but not without a slow spreading grin on my face I said, "We already have one but I guess we could buy another…"

Her blank face started to melt away as a charming grin seeped across her face. "Can you buy your own private jet?"

I shrugged nonchalantly. "We have two.O ne fro business and one for vacations."

"Can you buy your own private island?"

I scratched my chin, feigning being deep in thought. "Im pretty sure my father's looking into buying one actually."

Kagome quietly slammed her hand's agains't the clothed tablecloth. "So your filthy, filthy rich?"

"Pretty much."

She sat back, crossing her arms over her chest shaking her head and nibbling on her lower lip. "Huh. You keep surprising me Takahashi."

I was still chuckling softy at Kagome's reaction when Magatsuhi came back with my card, wishing us -mostly Kagome- a good afternoon as we stood up to leave.

But before Kagome could sneak her way out the restaurant door, I winked at the blond hostess at the hostess podium, clearly making Kagome jealous. Her cheeks turned an attractive shade of red as she stomped her way toward the front door. I grinned and slipped on my aviator's. Its really cute how jealous she gets.

xXx

"This…this is your house?" Kagome stuttered, bitting her lip. I snorted at her reaction and shut off my bike.

"Yeah, it is."

Kagome's tiny hands tightened on the front of my shirt unconsciously as she continued to ogle the front of the large mansion. The house, my house, is huge. I mean really it is. Dad wanted it to be that way; flashy and obnoxious. Just like him. The lawn was manicured and trimmed to perfection and nothing looked out of place. It was, outwardly, perfect.

When Kagome continued to stare with this doe-eyed look on her face, her mouth gapping open, I placed a clawed finger under her chin and eased her mouth shut. "You'll catch flies," I muttered, grabbing her hand and helping her down and off my bike like a life sized rag doll.

I lead her up the main doors of the mansion, unlocked the door and stepped a foot inside. When Kagome stubbornly and forcefully held her ground, I stumbled a bit before regaining my footing. "What the matter?" I asked, turning to look at her. She still had that look on her face as she stared in and around the main living room. "Aren't you coming inside?"

She looked down at her toes and mumbled, "I don't think I should."

"Why's that?" I asked, completely puzzled.

"Because!" She threw up her hands and gestured inside. "Jus took at this place. Its so…fancy and I don't think I should-"

"Oh shut up," I groaned, rolling my eyes and grabbing onto her wrist and dragging her inside.

"Wow," she said, tilting her head up toward the ceiling, her eyes drinking in everything she saw. When Kagome get enough of the house, or a portion of it, she walked over to the leather couch and flopped herself down in a dramatic way, throwing her hands behind her head and closing her eyes. "A girl could get used to this." She grinned.

I laughed lightly and joined her by sitting in the small armchair placed next to the coffee table. "Wait till you see the library.." I say nonchalantly, like its no big fucking deal, pulling invisible lint of my teeshirt.

Kagome's eyes popped open and she pushed herself up onto her elbows, staring at me incredulously. "You….you have a library?" She practically screeched, making sure she heard me correctly.

"Yea. Its- " I didn't get to finish my sentence before she gripped my hand, forcing me to stand.

"Where?" She asked, starring up at me under thick layers of her bangs.

Without saying another word, I started walking down the hallway, never letting go of her hand. I liked the way her hand fit perfectly in mine to let go. She followed closely behind me. I made my way past a few closed doors and finally stopped in front of two double doors with twin silver handles. I turned around and grinned.

"Cover your eyes." I said firmly.

Her eyebrows furrowed and she slowly shook her head. "What? Why"

My grin grew. "Just do it. Okay?"

She stared at me for a few seconds, eyeing me with a suspicious gaze before carrying out my instruction and closing her eyes with a soft sigh. I waved and hand in front of her face, making certain she couldn't see. When she doesn't flinch or move away from my hand, I turned around and pushed open the doors. once again I grabbed one of her softer hands in mine and lead her inside.

I slipped my hand out of hers and placed both hands onto her shoulder's, stopping her just inside the doorway. "Ok. Open." I said, watching her face closely. Her eyes flutterd open slowly and it took her a few seconds to register what exactly it was she was looking at. But when she finally realized where she was and what she was starring at, I laughed softly. Her eyes doubled in size and her mouth formed a small 'o'.

Like Sesshomaru had said, the library is impressive. The ceilings are high, curving off with detailed columns. The windows are floor length that over look the main fountain out in the backyard. The floor is made of expensive, hand scraped maple hardwood. Placed in the middle of the room are seven tables with a small desk lamp on each. The bookshelves are pilled high, higher then most libraries. A ceiling to floor length, rolling ladder is placed on each row of shelves. Against one of the window is a small seating area. Light streams through all of the windows making Kagome's face shine.

"Where do you wanna start?" I asked her once her attention was back on me.

"Whichever book I can reach first." She said laughing, running toward the book shelve closest to her. I watched her for a second before running over and catching up to her. We started running around the library like chickens with our heads cut off, trying to find as many books as we can get to.

We spent the rest of the day in the library, laughing and smart mouthing each other. When Kagome called me a dog boy and threw a book across the room, ordering me to 'fetch', I playfully growled at her.

"Is dog boy a touchy one? Ohhhh I'm so scared." She snikered, putting her hands up in front of her face like she was scared.

"Oh you shouldn't have said that girl." I growled, crouching down on all fours. Sure, in this posting I was only confirming what she'd said about me being a dog, but whatever. Her face lost its cockiness and laughter, which made me smile. 'Good,' I thought. 'Ill teach her for callin' me a dog.' I showed her my fangs when my lips spread into one of my most evil grins.

Immediately, she stood and made a run for the open door. Knowing she won't get anywhere fast, I took off after her with an unmeasurable speed.

When She felt me behind her she stopped running, allowing me to stand closely behind her. I pressed my chest against her back, feeling her becoming tense, her breathing rigid. I leaned my face close to her ear, enjoying how sinfully sweet her hair smelled that close to my nose."Are you scared of me now.." I paused second for dramatic effect before growling, "Princess."

Kagome's scent takes a dramatic dive from playful and happy to nervousness. Knowing this won't do, seeing as how all I wanted to do was mess with her a bit for calling me a dog, I reached my hands forwards and snaked my arms around her waist. Immediately my finger's get to work and I begin to lightly tickle her.

She squeaks slightly and jumps away from my hands, turning around to playfully glare at me. "InuYasha don't. Im terribly ticklish."

I cocked an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. "Oh are you?"

I took a step toward her, reaching my hands forward. She takes a step back. "InuYasha, don't." She warned, the playful glare gone.

I smirked, taking another step. She took a step back and I took one forward. We kept this up unitl her back was pressed up against a wall. She pointed a finger at me, as though that would help her.

"InuYasha, Im warning you…"

I wasn't listening anymore. Her sides were just begging me to tickle them. And who was I, as the good demon that I am, to ignore their request? So I shot my hands forward and began tickling her. Kagome began to laugh and giggle, squirming around in my arms like a fish out of the sea. She floundered in my arms, her laughter ringing in the open air.

When my hand reached dangerously closer to the underside her arm, she squeaked loudly, jerking her body to the side. I lost my footing and tripped over Kagome's ankles and toppled to the floor, making sure Kagome was above me and not below. If she was, I might have crushed her. Kagome, still panting and laughing quietly, started clawing at the floor, trying to get away. But before she could make her escape, I grabbed her legs and drew her back toward me and flipping her over onto her back. I pressed my chest down onto her stomach, holding her in place and pressing each hand on the other side her face, trapping her.

"Get…off…me!" She giggled and started laughing harder. She looked…fantastic that way. Panting quietly from laughing so hard, her face flushed, an attractive blush dusting her cheeks. She squirmed a bit under the wight of m body and I bit the inside of my cheek as I suddenly was come over by this painful urge to kiss her.

'Do it you fool!' My inner demon snarled.

I shook my head slowly, forcing myself, and inner demon, back.

'I don't want to kiss her right now,' I thought reasonably, trying to talk myself out of it. 'Well, I mean I do, Kami only know's how much I want to kiss her.'

Her mouthwash parted slightly and a flash of pink darted out between her lips. I gulped and clenched a fist. I wanted our first kiss to be perfect. And I wanted her to want to kiss me back. There was no way Kagome would ever want to kiss me.

'But I'm only a half-demon. She's so much better then I am. She deserves better then a lowly half-human.'

Finally and very reluctantly, I decided I should stop holding her hostage so she could actually catch her breath and breathe. Slowly, ever so slowly, I rolled off her body, slipping onto the floor space next to her.

We laid there, chuckling quietly and panting softly for a few minuets before someone cleared their throats forcefully from somewhere behind us. I shot up, looking around frantically, the scent of Sesshomaru greeting my nose before my eyes finally found him. He had a weird, half smirk on his face, his arms crossed over his chest. He was leaning up against the open doorframe, his legs crossed.

"Having a little to much fun studying?" He asked, giving me a suggestive stare before gliding back out the door.

I rolled my eyes and looked over to Kagome who only started laughing again. When she sobered, somewhat, I got to my feet and helped her stand. She looked up at me not letting go of my hand, her mouth part alike she wanted to say something. But she clamped her mouth shut and shook her head, walking back over to the table we'd been studying at. I followed her lead and resumed studying with her, occasionally sneaking glances at her.

A few hours later, when we'd finished our studying, I drove Kagome home. I stopped my bike in front of her house, watching her as she hops off the bike, taking off her helmet. The wind made her hair fly around her face and her cheeks were pink from the wind nipping at her skin from the drive home. She stood in front of my motorcycle and leaned forward, resting her elbow's on the front of handle bars.

We stay'd there in the middle of the street just looking at each other. I watched her hair nipped and tugged when the autumn wind sent it whirling around. I don't know how long we stared at each other before she mumbled a quiet, "Thank you."

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. "What for?"

She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and blushed as she leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on my cheek. I tensed up from the bolt of lightning coursing through my body at the feeling of her lips agains't my flesh.

'So much for her not wanting to kiss you,' my sarcastic inner demon replied with a dark chuckle.

"For everything," she whispered into one of my dog ears. She abruptly turned on her heel and walked toward her house, her hips swaying back in forth as the wind continued to ruffle and tousle at her hair. She didn't look back to me as she reached her home and shuts the door behind her.

Slowly, I brought up a clawed hand to my cheek, still feeling the sting of her sweet kiss. 'Dammit. That bitch is ruining me and my reputation.'

I smirked and I let my bike roar to life, turning and taking off down the street and let the crisp wind and sun nip playfully at my face.

'I might just let her ruin it to…'
