Chapter 1
Ichigo walked the halls on his way to his next class and let his mind wander. The other students were gradually coming to accept being around him. As he began to talk to others he found out that most of them did recognize him from various places around Soul Society. And even if they weren't trained to look for it yet, they could still feel his spirit pressure that was so much greater than theirs.
He tried asking some of the students that were ahead of him if they knew of Kagome Higurashi, a petite girl with black hair and blue eyes, but the answers he received left him a little puzzled.
A couple of people had frowned and responded, “Oh, her…”
Some guys had told him “Don't bother.”
There was even one girl who had scowled a little at the mention of Kagome's name and told him “For your sake, stay away from that one.”
He hadn't seen Kagome much since they'd run into each other in the hall when the term had just started. There were a few times that she had waved at him in the halls as they passed each other and he would spot her occasionally in the classrooms as she helped the different teachers, but those were the only times that he'd seen her.
As he thought about it a little longer, he realized that they hadn't even talked for very long when they first met. After their introduction, they'd made small talk as they walked to the front entrance of the building; he saying that he was a first-year student, she saying she was a third-year who helped teachers when they needed it. But that had been about it. And he couldn't find out anything from the other students.
Ichigo felt like he was missing something big, but it didn't look like anyone was going to tell him was it was. He would have asked Kagome himself but on the rare occasions that they saw each other they were both rushing to be where they needed to be at the time.
It wasn't until about two months after their initial meeting that Ichigo saw Kagome in more than just a passing glance. His kidou class was going out to the practice field to put what they had been learning into use, but when he stepped outside his eyes were drawn to the small woman standing next to their teacher. She was wearing the traditional girl's academy uniform and had her hands clasped in front of her with a kind smile on her face. When her eyes met his she seemed to brighten as he smile grew and she gave him a small wave. Some of the other male students turned to give him questioning looks about the pretty girl waving at him.
As they took their seated positions on the polished wood, their teacher addressed them. “Today you are going to attempt kidou for the first time. Don't get discouraged if you don't get it right on the first try. That's why you're taking the class, after all.” The young teacher chuckled deeply at his personal joke but began speaking again when he noticed that he was the only one laughing. “I'm sure most of you have seen Higurashi around the buildings and in some of your other classes. She's here to provide extra help to those who need it among other things.”
Kagome waved at the class causing some of the males to blush lightly.
“Line up and today we'll concentrate on what we talked about in class last time; Hadou Four: White Lightning,” the teacher instructed.
Ichigo watched as Kagome helped people with their stances or corrected a line of the incantation. She was always a gentle hand of reassurance when the attack didn't go right and seemed to truly be in her element helping others. He just couldn't understand why he had gotten the negative reactions from the other students when he asked about her.
But he had to clear his mind when his turn finally came and he stepped into place. Glancing to Kagome once out of the corner of his eye, Ichigo recited the incantation from memory and gathered his power in his hands. But when the power suddenly surged and literally blew up in his face, Ichigo knew that he would need some work. When he looked up from his position on the ground where the blast had landed him, he noticed a worried pair of blue eyes looking him over.
Kagome was on her knees next to Ichigo's prone form searching for any injuries that needed to be healed. She watched as he opened his eyes to stare at her as she checked him over. There were small burn marks on his arm, but her attention was drawn to his head where he had hit it in his fall and where most of the blast had been concentrated. Her hands began to glow a light blue as she brought them to the back of his head and the side of his face. “Does anything hurt?” She asked.
Ichigo blinked a couple of times as he got used to the cool sensations that her hands were giving him before he answered, “No, I'll be fine.” He brushed her hands away and sat up before pushing himself to his feet.
Kagome watched him stand on shaky feet for a moment before he steadied himself and seemed to return to normal. He walked to where the other students were standing as a few of the guys teased him about his attempt. But a light blush stained her cheeks when Ichigo glanced over his shoulder to see her still sitting on the ground.
She quickly stood and excused herself from the rest of the class saying that she needed to prepare some lecture notes for another teacher before the next day.
When she had made it back into the building and several feet down the hallway, Kagome slowed her pace and thought about what had happened. It had been some time since she'd gotten butterflies in her stomach around a man, but there was no denying that Ichigo Kurosaki got them to fluttering.
Sure, she had been around plenty of tall, dark, and handsome men in her life and afterlife, but there was something else about Ichigo that made her heart flutter and her stomach twist. His presence was commanding and his chocolate gaze always seemed so intense. Each time that he looked at her, Kagome could feel her mouth go dry.
“Come on, Kagome,” she told herself. “He may be handsome and intense…and tall…and tan…and smell really nice…” Kagome had to shake herself from her thoughts there as another blush crept up to her cheeks. “But what's going to happen when he finds out about it? The same thing that always happens; he'll stay as far away as humanly possible.”
Kagome sighed and continued to walk down the hallway towards her private dormitory room. “But…maybe it wouldn't be so bad to try to get to know him before that happens,” she thought aloud as a small smile bloomed on her face.

AN: Okay, fairly short chapter. But the more I think about this story, the more I think that all of the chapters will only be a few pages long. They'll pretty much just be the small moments that Kagome and Ichigo share :] This chapter is yet another in my mass-update that I'm planning! As of right now I have three stories that are getting updated, and a new crossover that I'm going to post. It's an Inuyasha/Criminal Minds crossover which is going to be interesting, I think. Yes, shameless self-promotion…I'm guilty. Anyway, let me know what you think of the new chapter and thanks for reading!
