-Valenti ne-

He despised Valentine’s day. I mean despised it, the whole thing! The flowers, the cards, and the candy. Yes the candy. That sweet chocolate that melted in anyone's mouth and sent bitter sweet tastes down your throat. He shuddered. It was just not right.

He was walking down the road as countless girls flung themselves at him. Packages and cards were practically thrown at his feet. He just shook his head and walked on. The whole Valentines thing was a waste of time. No date, no love, and definitely no girlfriend. He didn't want to buy pointless gifts and candy for girls who would just label them as a couple. There was only one girl he actually liked, but she was just not willing to date him. After all, they had been best friends for the past eight years.

He continued his walk in the cold as the freezing air surrounded him. The snowflakes falling softly to the ground. His hands tucked snuggly into his pockets as the cold nipped his nose. He once again had a random girl, who said she just loved him, stop in front of him and thrust a package forward. It was wrapped in blue paper with the words, To Inuyasha written in glitter. He sighed.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't accept it." He passed her.

The words, "You're heartless Inuyasha! I hate you!" and the pain of a box hitting him in the back of  the head. He growled lightly and whispered wench before lifting the box and chunking it into the waste bin. He continued on. What came next was not what he had expected.

A young girl, stood at the end of his driveway A scarf, tied loosely around her neck, danced about her face in the cold wind. She had on a long brown winter coat and a small heart shaped box in her hands. As he approached, she turned to him and smiled. He stopped and looked at her. “What are you doing standing out here, Kagome?”

She approached him slowly. Her pink cheeks and watery eyes danced on her lovely face. She spoke, her voice angelic.

“I know you don't like Valentine's Day or chocolate, but I stayed up all night making this for you. I wasn't going to give it to you, but the thought of all those wasted hours ---“ she paused. “I thought what the hell. I wanted to at least try to give it to you. So here.” She extended her hands towards him in hopes he would accept.

After a minute or two she felt the heart shaped box lift from her hands. The feeling of regret soon lifted from her shoulders, and heart, and she smiled. Her wide brown eyes looked shocked as the box had been opened.

He looked at the milk chocolate bar that simply read in white frosting, Happy Valentine’s Day He smiled lightly and broke a piece of the chocolate off and took a bite. It melted softly on his tongue and washed down his throat. He looked shocked.

It’s actually good.  He looked at her and smiled.

“Thanks.”  He said.

It felt like her heart had flown a mile out of her chest as her lips curved up into a smile. “You’re welcome. Inuyasha.”  She went to turn and walk away before he took her arm and swung her around into his chest to embraced her.

He pulled back and smiled. “Want to go catch a movie and maybe dinner?”

She blushed, “I rather go inside and just talk, maybe sit by the fire?” Her gaze meeting his.

He took his arm and wrapped it around her waist. “Sounds like a plan.”

“Um, Inuyasha?” She was twirling the edge of the scarf around her finger.

“What?” He asked.

Her cheeks rose in a blush and she looked up, “Why didn’t you accept all the chocolates from all the other females, but you did from me?” She knew the answer. She knew it was only because she was his best friend.

“You really have to ask?” He replied.
And there it was. Her heart slumped slightly into her stomach. She was actually hoping for a better answer, but she knew Inuyasha wasn’t sensitive especially on the most ridiculous holiday ever created.

She shrugged and laughed it off. “Of course not!”

He pushed a strand of hair back behind her ear. The snow had created a soft glow of red on her nose and cheeks. He tried to suppress that longing feeling he had for her, the urge to bring her close and kiss those pouting red lips, but he knew better. Ever since that damned Hojo broke her heart a few months ago, he had gained feelings for Kagome that were more than that of his best friend.

He looked upon her beautiful face. Her eyes watered a bit, but she still looked beautiful. Her lips began to move. “It’s silly, is it not?”

“What is?” He asked dusting her cheeks free of snow flakes.

“Valentine’s day.” Her reply was soft. “I find it silly. I mean, if you have to prove to someone one day out of the three-hundred and sixty-five days a year, then is it really love?”

He laughed, “You are correct on that one.”

“If I had someone like that, I would love them all day, every day, every week, of every year.” She sighed. She had no one like that at the moment. She only prayed it would be Inuyasha, whenever that day would come.

“I agree.” He wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Let’s get inside. It’s getting colder as we speak.”

She nodded and followed him inside. She was determined to find a way to open his heart and make it her own. Only thing is, she had no idea her felt the exact same way.

The walked up the steps and through the doors of the house that she had come to know so well through out the years.
