.AN- I think I know who the pairings are but, I'll just let the story flow. I plan on Kagome and Kurama getting to know each other for a while before she finds Kuwabara. I have that chapter written already. I may have to make slight variations depending on where the story goes. Wow. I had about a hundred reviews for both my stories...and no flames. I was kinda hoping for one sometime. If there is someone out there who really doesn't like what I write, please let me know. The rest of you are great. I appreciate what many of you write and that you actually read these ANs many people ignore.

She was nervous to have to live with a boy her age. Her mother said he was polite, intelligent, and handsome. The problem with that was that same description could be applied to Miroku.

She would never want to live under the same roof with him without multiple other people to keep an eye on him.

As her eyes started to water thinking of Miroku, she mentally scolded herself and changed the subject. What was she thinking about? Oh yeah. This new guy. She had no idea what to expect from him.

At least she didn't have to wait too ling to find out. The flight attendant was pointing to the lit `Buckle Your Seatbelt' sign, indicating their arrival to Kyoto in a matter of minutes.

She didn't know who she was looking for as she emerged from the plane and into the terminal. Maybe he was late. She bit her lip apprehensively ad scanned the crowd.

Nope. No normal Japanese boys looking for a cute girl here. Huh! Who would be desperate enough to go for a girl like her? Okay so there was Houjo and Kouga but, neither one of them really knew her. Houjo was too nice. She couldn't be herself with him. Kouga was too bossy. She didn't want to be herself with him.

And then there was Inuyasha. What to say about Inuyasha. She couldn't really think of anything to think about Inuyasha. All she could do was feel. She felt pain. She felt regret. She had loved him. That fact alone made the terms of their separation that much more unbearable.

No. She would not do this again. What was done was done. She had to move on with her life. Wasn't that part of the reason she was leaving the city?

She was brought out of her musings when she felt someone tap her shoulder.

He had been there for about five minutes when he saw the plane land. He wasn't all too comfortable with a girl he had never met sleeping in a room right next to his.

He could imagine it now. One of the girls in his fan club spying on him all the time, taking pictures of him doing the most random things: sleeping, eating, showeri...oh god. She might be able to walk in on him in the bathroom and see him naked. He was beginning to like this idea even less.

However, his mother felt more than happy with the arrangement. He would put up with the girl.

{It wouldn't be so bad if she were pretty. I've been rather restless as of late.}

[Not now. We will not molest random girls Youko.]

{You said it yourself. She will be right next to your room for who knows how long and it would be quite easy for the bathroom lock to...accidentally become unlocked.}

[Can we at least meet the girl before you plan your torrid love affair?]

He (they) watched as several people came off the plane.

{Too bad that one couldn't be her. Go talk to her.}

Kurama spotted a girl around his age who he could describe as nothing less than beautiful. Her skin was lightly tanned.

Youko implanted an image of her with that mid-back length raven hair scattered across a pillow, his pillow, with her biting and licking her pouty, full lips. Her eyes squeezed tight as she writhed beneath him until her mouth conformed into the shape of an `O'. Youko wanted her dancing and panting beneath him.

Kurama tried to ignore the strong imagery that would never become reality. He noticed no other girls his age exited the plane. He had only one option. He perceived her uncertainty as she scanned the crowd for someone she did not find.

She hooked away, as if she were thinking of something or someone important that had been lost to her. She looked tired and sad.

He approached the unwitting girl and tapped her on the shoulder.

“Excuse me, miss. Would you by any means happen to go by the name of Kagome?”

She looked up and him a smiled broadly. He thought her beauty with that smile rivaled that of many of the beings in existence. She had an aura about her that made her...enlivening.

She gave him a big nod. “So that would make you Shuuichi?” Seeing him give smirk and nod slightly she replied, “By the way nice hair.”

Youko, immediately liking this girl, grew very excited. {Did you hear that? She likes our hair. I like forward ones who know what they want. It speeds things up quite nicely.}

[Hold on. She might not be forward, just friendly.]

Before giving Youko a chance to reply, Kagome interrupted their mental battle. “Oh. I forgot. We have to stop by baggage claim, if you don't mind?”

“Not at all.”

Kurama was very pleased to learn the girl had carried only two bags for a possibly very long stay. Many would have taken at least four. They had a pleasant chat in the cab on their way to the Minamino residence and Kagome's new home. After leaving her bags at the empty house, Kurama decide it would be best to show her around town a little. He did offer to carry the backpack she refused to leave behind, but she rejected his offer, claiming she was used to carrying it everywhere.

She was nothing like he expected. She was warm, intelligent, and seemed very naïve. They went to nice cafe Kurama was fond of. He noticed her excitement upon discovering oden on the menu and chuckled.

She lifted an eyebrow and answered his chuckles with mock offense. “Are you amused by my love of oden, Mr. Minamino?”

Chuckling a bit more he responded sarcastically, “No, not at all, Ms. Higurashi.”

“Good, because we all know men have died for less.” Her giggles were infectious. It was difficult to maintain his composure with her in his presence.

He did not seem to affect her at all. It intrigued him. He had never met a girl who was completely pulled together when around him, much less speaking with him.

She was a mystery he would willingly discover. She ate her oden and he his yakisoba while discussing aspects of her new home. She inquired about the school, him, his mother, and general life in this new place.

He worried a bit when she only ate half of her meal, but thought little of it as she stored it neatly in a styrofoam container and placed it in her bag.

They departed and returned to the house.

She was worried about Kirara when he suggested going out to eat. Could she conceal a hungry, possibly angry demon cat for another hour?

She was petrified that he tried to carry her bag. Surely he'd noticed the weight moving around as Kirara stretched or moved around. She had to keep it.

He seemed surprised by a lot of the things she did or said. She wasn't sure why. She was just being plain, little Kagome.

He was gorgeous. He knew it too. She was use to guys who looked like he did. She was unaccustomed, however, to his attitude about his own looks. He was not quite vain, but probably so used to people fawning over him he didn't know how to react to her.

Whatever. She hoped they would get used to each other quickly. He seemed nice enough. She also hoped he could help her with her grades.

Their conversation was pleasant and she was quite surprised to see an almost playful side to the gentleman who sat across from her.

She pretended to be full of her sacred oden and arranged the container to feed Kirara. She hoped the cat would appreciate her sacrifice. That was when it happened. She did something, she wasn't sure what, but she somehow dropped the bag.

`Oh no!' “Kirara get out of there!” Kirara sprung to life, jumped out of the bag and into Kagome's awaiting arms.

“Kagome, what exactly are you holding?”

Kagome was panicking. `How do I explain this?' “Well...”

An-Sorry I know stupid, right? I think sending her to school will be more fun. Sorry, but I'm tired and not thinking all that well. It'll be at least two to three chapters until I get the other guys involved, and even more to explain Kagome's deal in the past.
