InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Claimed ❯ My Woman ( Chapter 1 )

The school was bustling with students of all ages ranging from fifteen to eighteen, all belonging to a different race, and a different place. It was the first day of school once again at Shikon High, and yet not a single new soul was in sight; except one. And as she entered the school, all unfamiliar eyes turned to her.

 

Her name; Kagome Higurashi. She was starting her junior year here, and was more then nervous. And yet she still glowed with pride and confidence as she walked up those steep steps to her first day of High School here in the busy city of Tokyo, Japan.

 

Long raven hair fell down her back in waves and curls, bouncing lightly as she took each small step. Those smoky gray eyes of hers showed an innocence mixed with a fiery passion never seen by anyone before, which was one of the first things about her that drew the attention of a certain silver haired hanyou. Her small frame was clad simply in a mini-jean skirt, and a blood red low cut v-neck, spaghetti strap tank-top; showing quite the cleavage for the lurking, greedy eyes of the male race. White sneakers stepped lightly on the cement pavement of the ground; holding a new shine to them. A large, lemon yellow back-pack was slung carelessly over her shoulders; the straps occasionally slipping down the length of her arms.

 

Just as she was about to reach the final few steps of the on-going stairs that led to the entrance of the school, she was stopped as a great shadow crossed her path. Looking up and shielding her eyes with a small hand so to see the someone more clearly, she was taken back when the figure, a man she guessed by the smooth yet deep voice, took her hands into his larger ones and drew her close; peering into her eyes with a serious look.

 

“You're my woman,” The figure said as he embraced her tightly.

 

Kagome flushed many shades of red as she just stood there, blinking in surprise as her mind tried to register what had just happened. Coming to her senses, she struggled against his hold as she shrieked in a high-pitched voice.

 

“You're woman? I think not buddy! Let me go this instant!”

 

And yet he refused to release her. That is, until he fell to his side with a loud `oof!' and a crash landing to the ground. Kagome toppled out of his grasp with a scream, loosing her balance and falling back down the stairs. Or at least she would have, had not someone reached out and grabbed her around the waist; lifting her into the air effortlessly before setting her back down on the ground, the persons arm still wrapped around her waist.

 

Dazed, she took this time to gaze at the man picking himself off the floor; the one who had so rudely declared her his woman.

 

His long dark brown hair was placed up neatly into a high ponytail, while his cool blue eyes now held a furious stare toward the one who held her now. He was tall, much taller then her, and handsome; she just had to agree to that. And yet he held somewhat of a pretty boy appearance to him, mixed with the strong and tough look. He was garbed in simple jeans with rips at the knees; jeans that seemed two sizes too big so that they sagged ever so slightly. A black muscle shirt was worn; and as she just happened to look past him, she could see a group of giggling girls starring and batting their lashes stupidly as they swooned. She could only roll her eyes at this; though stopped and stared meekly as she caught a conversation talking about the great wolf demon he was.

 

“What do you want mutt-face? And get your hands off my woman!” The man growled dangerously, glaring murderously at the man holding fast to Kagome's waist.

 

His hold around her seemed to tighten ever so slightly, a growl rumbling in his chest; sending shivers up and down her spine as she shivered.

 

“She isn't your woman Kouga!” A gruff voice came from beside her.

 

Curious as to whom her savoir was, she tilted her head up to the side and caught her breath in her chest as she gawked at the sight. He was gorgeous!

 

Long silver hair reaching his waist shone brightly in the blazing sun, and beautiful amber orbs flashed dangerously as he glared on at his challenger. Bared white teeth exposed his glinting fangs, which led Kagome to knowing he was a demon. White, fuzzy triangular dog ears perched up top his head flickered so adorably, that she just had this sudden strong urge to reach up and rub the tips between her fingers. Strong, masculine arms wrapped around her waist protectively and his white baggy T molded into his impressive six pack. Black baggy jeans were worn under his T, sagging to expose black boxers. Black sneakers were barely seen concealed under his jeans.

 

Kouga, the wolf demon, stepped closer to him, making the man shove Kagome behind him without even looking at her. The two stared hard into each other eyes, never breaking eye contact. Finally, Kouga spoke.

 

“Look mutt, I don't know who you think you are, but no one deprives me of what I want. She will be my woman, and I'll be sure to stake my claim on her exactly three days from today. And there's nothing you, or anyone else, can do about that,” He growled, though smirked smugly the entire time.

 

The silver haired man growled and clenched his fists tightly, drawing blood as his claws sunk into the palm of his hands. The crowd that had once surrounded them took unison steps back, their faces paling as terrified emotions etched into their faces. They knew when a fight was going to get ugly, especially when it was two demons fighting over the claim of a female. However Kagome, unaware of the meaning of the words Kouga had just uttered, just starred on confused and angry at the same time. And with that Kouga turned on his heel and stalked off toward the school, only to have a red haired girl latch onto his arm lovingly; though he ignored her presence and walked on.

 

The grounds on which they all stood were dead silent, an uncomfortable buzzing growing ever louder as they all just stood, starring at the enraged hanyou. Finally, students moved on, the volume increasing to its normal state; all but two individuals going on as if nothing had even happened.

 

The silver haired man slumped his shoulders with an angry huff and began walking off as well, but Kagome wasn't about to let that happen. She raced after him and fell into pace with his long strides.

 

“Hey, thanks for helping me out back there,” She smiled as she leaned forward a little to peer into his face.

 

“Whatever…”

 

Kagome scowled, “Well you don't have to be so rude! I was only thanking you, sheesh!”

 

The hanyou scowled even deeper and sidestepped into Kagome's way, grasping her shoulders sharply to steady her when she staggered at his sudden movements.

 

“Look, lets get something straight here. I didn't do any of that for you! I only did it because I hate that mangy wolf, and that's it! Now, whoever you a-“

 

“Kagome.”

 

The hanyou looked taken aback when she cut him off with a smile and a name.

 

“What?”

 

“My name is Kagome. You?” She asked and told with a smile as she peered innocently into his amber pools.

 

“Urm…Inuyasha.”

 

“Pleasure to meet you Inuyasha. Now if you will excuse me, I best be on my way to class before the bell rings,” She said and stepped around him, racing up the remainder of the stairs and to her first class.

 

Inuyasha just looked after her a moment in bewilderment before shaking his head with a rare smile; stuffing his clenched hands into his pockets and walking on, speaking one word silently.

 

“…Perfect…”
