InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Finding You ❯ Finding Her ( Chapter 1 )

 

Kagome Higurashi stood, swinging her black bag over her shoulder. Her long black hair swirled around her before settling back down against the small of her back. She wore black gauchos that swirled around her legs as she walked confidently down the sidewalk. Her pink tank top hugged her curves nicely and fell low enough to show just a bit of cleavage. The world was shadowed through her large black sunglasses, the noises ignored as she talked into her cell phone.

“What? Orange? No, no, I asked for pink.” She twisted her hair around her finger and rolled her eyes in annoyance. “Yes, pink. Orange would clash with my dress. Thank you.” She said to the man behind the counter who was handing her a latte. “No, not you. Really? That's perfect. Okay, well I'll talk to you later I'm here. You too. Buh-bye.” Irritably she snapped her phone shut and stuffed it into her bag.

“Oh hi Sango!” she said cheering up considerably at the site of her best friend. “Oh my gosh, you will never believe what happened. That idiot Kikyo got orange roses instead of pink.”

“What?” Sango gasped. “But that will clash with your dress.” She leaned against the counter of the small shop where Kagome was getting her dress tailored. Her long brown hair was pulled into a high ponytail that fell down in between her shoulder blades. She wore a denim miniskirt and a white, flowing spaghetti strap top. Her silver high heels made her taller then her usual 5'6.

“I know,” Kagome said. “That's what I said. She can be so clueless sometimes…make that all the time.” Sango giggled. “Now, let's try on this dress so we can get back to my house and have our nails done.” She held out her hand for Sango to see. “Mine look like crap and I want everything to be perfect for my party.” Kagome was seventeen but in one week she would be eighteen and her party was going to be the party of the year, of course that was expected. She always threw the best parties anyway.

“I know he is so cute. Have you seen his-“ Kagome was cut off abruptly when she bumped into something solid and her butt met pavement. “Hey!” she said indignantly. “Watch where you're going!”

“Well excuse me princess,” a sarcastic voice said. Kagome looked up prepared to snap back a smart remark, but her breath caught in her throat. He was tall, at least six feet, with long silver hair that fell down to his buttocks. But what caught her attention the most were his eyes. They were beautiful, pools of liquid amber. They smoldered with passion and excitement.

“I-I…”

“Kagome?” Sango asked. “Are you okay?” She leaned over and grabbed Kagome's arm, pulling her off the ground.

“I- uh…yeah, I'm fine,” Kagome managed to spit out. She turned to say something to the boy, but he had gone.

“You sure your okay?” Sango repeated. Kagome shook her head and laughed.

“Yeah, man, that guy was a jerk.” Sango nodded her head in agreement but she couldn't ignore the look in Kagome's eyes. She was still thinking about him, of that Sango was sure.

Kagome sighed and leaned on her hand, elbow resting on her desk. Her notebook was filled with doodles, mostly of eyes. Those beautiful amber eyes she couldn't get out of her head.

“Mrs. Higurashi? Mrs. Higurashi?” A sharp voice snapped her back into reality.

“Um…yes?” She glanced up and her heart nearly leaped out of her chest, it was him.

“Will you please slide over? You're spread out all over the desk, Mr. Taisho needs somewhere to sit, and that is the only available seat.” Mrs. Takura gave Kagome a sharp look that clearly said, argue and die.

“Yes ma'm,” Kagome mumbled and pushed her supplies to her side of the desk. The boy smirked and sauntered over to his seat. Kagome glanced at him briefly, taking in his outfit, that was important after all. He wore a pair of slightly distressed jeans and a plain red t-shirt.

“Hey Princess,” he said with a smile. She glared back at him.

“My name is Kagome,” she snapped. “Not princess.”

“Aw, but I like princess so much better,” he said innocently. Kagome rolled her eyes and turned back towards the teacher who was going on about something to do with an essay.

“Well?” she asked him quietly.

“Well what?”

“Are you going to tell me your name? I mean it's only fair.” Kagome gave him a pointed look.

“Weren't you listening to the teacher when she introduced me?”

“Uh…no.”

“Why? Too busy doodling?” He sniggered and reached over snatching up her notebook. Kagome gasped thinking of the eyes she had drawn. His eyes. “These look awfully familiar,” he said and raised one eyebrow. “Like I see them in the mirror every morning.”

“There just eyes,” Kagome growled snatching the notebook back out of his hands. “Now leave me alone.”

“But I thought you wanted to know my name?”

“I changed my mind.” Kagome said snootily.

“Ah, but I don't think you have.” He said coolly. “But if you're going to be stubborn, fine, I just won't tell you.” Kagome turned her head further. Damn him! He was getting under her skin, no one got under her skin! She sniffed, she wasn't really that interested in his name anyways.

8*8*8*8*8*8

“Kagome!” Kagome turned to see Kouga jogging towards her. “Hey babe,” he said leaning down for a kiss.

“Hey Kouga,” Kagome said cheerfully. “Ew, gross, you're all covered in sweat.” She giggled. “But I love you anyways.”

“Well, I had football practice.” He shrugged apologetically. “Hey, are we still on for tonight?”

“Eight o clock sharp,” Kagome said. “I've got to go, I've got a butt load of homework. Love you.” Standing on her tiptoes she reached up for a kiss. Kouga didn't disappoint her, he pulled her too him and kissed her hard.

“Had to do that.” He grinned at her. “See you at eight,” he yelled over his shoulder as ran towards the locker rooms to change. Kagome stared after him a vague smile on her lips. She sighed. When they had first started going out that had made her fell like she was on top of the world, but now she wasn't so sure anymore… She shook her head.

`Stop that. You love Kouga remember?' she scolded her self. With a sigh she made her way to her blue 3 Series Coupe BMW. Dumping her books and bag in the passenger seat, she slid into the drivers seat. Turning the key she winced as the radio blasted. What had she been thinking this morning? As she pulled out of the parking lot humming to Show Stopper by Danity Kane she noticed Taisho, which is what she had decided too call him, standing at the bus stop. She wrinkled her nose at the thought of riding on the dingy bus with smelly workers and nerds.

Against her better judgment she pulled up beside him and rolled down her window. He looked up at her clearly surprised.

“Need a ride?” she asked with a grin. “That bus smells way bad.” He smirked at her.

“Decided I'm worth talking to princess?”

“I guess,” Kagome shrugged her shoulders. “But there's one condition.”

“What?” He folded his arms across his chest. “I'm open for anything.” He raised his eyebrows suggestively. Kagome gasped and felt her cheeks grow warm.

“No! You pervert.” Kagome glared at him. “ I meant your name stupid, tell me your name.”

“Inuyasha,” he said. “Told you you wanted to know.”

“Dog demon?” Kagome raised an eyebrow. “Oookay, whatever. You'll have to throw my stuff in the back.” She said motioning to her stuff as he opened the door. Inuyasha dumped her stuff in the back and flopped into the seat.

“Nice car,” He commented as they pulled onto the main road.

“Thanks, where do you live? Yanagi Haru or Minami Hayashi?” Kagome asked.

“I live downtown,” Inuyasha said.

“Oh,” Kagome said blushing. “I just assumed…I-I mean those are the two neighborhoods, and the kids…well, I mean it's a private school and-“

“I get,” Inuyasha said shortly. “It's where the rich kids go to school and I'm not rich. I got in on a scholar ship okay?”

“Sorry,” Kagome mumbled. They fell into an uncomfortable silence. “So,” Kagome said trying to break the silence. “I'm having this party next Friday and I already passed out invitations, so you missed it- the invitations I mean. Um, you wanna come?”

Inuyasha stared at her intently for a moment. “Why are you asking me?” he asked still staring, causing Kagome to squirm uncomfortably.

“Well, you don't really know anyone so I suppose it will be a good time for you to meet people. We'll have to get you a date of course, hmmm…” She tapped her lip thoughtfully. “Maybe I could set you up with Ayame, she's a little eccentric but I think you can handle her.”

“What if I don't want to go with her?” Inuyasha asked. “What if I want to go with someone else?” Something about the way he said it made Kagome shiver.

“You…uh…can if you want.” She gulped.

Still staring at her Inuyasha pointed out the front window. “Make a left up here.” Kagome did so and sighed in relief when Inuyasha told her to pull over in front of a large apartment complex.

“Thanks for the ride,” he said getting out of the car. “See you tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow's Saturday,” Kagome pointed out. Inuyasha just shrugged.

“You never know… you never know.'

“Okay, well bye,” Kagome said for lack of something better to say.

“Bye,” Inuyasha whispered sending chills up her spine. She put her foot on the gas and sped away from the curb, eager to get home.

8*8*8*8*8*8

Kagome groaned and rolled over, pulling her wine colored mask off. Glancing over at the clock she gasped and sat up quickly. Bad idea. Her head pounded and she moaned thinking of the night before. What had started out as harmless partying had turned into a drinking game, seven rounds of a drinking game. Shit. Slowly she pulled back the covers and got out of bed.

“Mrs. Higurashi?” A voice echoed through the room and Kagome glared at the tiny white speaker on her bedside table. “Mrs. Higurashi, there's someone downstairs to see you.”

“Coming Rita,” Kagome growled into the intercom holding down the small green button that said SPEAK. She made her way down stairs and into the foyer, nearly fainting when she saw who her visitor was.

“Inuyasha?” she asked incredulously.

“Nice outfit,” Inuyasha responded smartly taking in her pink, cotton boy shorts and matching cami. Her black hair was piled into a messy bun on the top of her head, the only thing keeping her mask from falling off. There were dark circles under her eyes that were icy blue and full of wrath.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Kagome snarled. “It is fucking eleven o clock in the morning. I never, ever get up earlier than twelve.”

Inuyasha just shrugged. “I was bored, wanna go get something to eat?” He opened his eyes wide. Kagome rolled her eyes.

“I guess,” she mumbled. “Come on stupid.” She motioned for him to follow her upstairs.

“Oh, I get to come to your room do I?” he asked with a grin. “Won't your parents be mad?”

“Ew…and my parents are in Venice for two weeks.” Kagome said. “Sit.” She pointed to her bed. Inuyasha flopped down on the silky blue sheets. He jumped slightly when a long pink tongue licked his hand.

“Wow, that's a big dog.” He said pointing at the animal. Large was an understatement. The dog was huge. It whined and put its white, furry paw on Inuyasha's leg.

“Isn't he cute?” Kagome said from inside the bathroom where she was changing. “He's a malamute, his names Snowflake's Majestic Mountain, but we call him Poofy for short.

“Poofy?” Inuyasha managed to choke out without laughing. “You're kidding me?”

“No,” Kagome said walking out of the bathroom. “Your name is Poofy isn't it? Isn't it my big ball of luvey wuvey, coochy woochy, fluffy wuffy, snowey wowey, baby cakes?” She leaned in front of the dog and took his head in her hands planting a big kiss on his nose. The dog whined and thumped his tail happily on the floor.

“Gods…” Inuyasha said. “That is so wrong.” Kagome shot him a glare before getting to her feet and stalking out of the room. Inuyasha followed after her grinning.

 

 

“No way,” Kagome said crossing her arms over her chest. Inuyasha laughed. The two of them stood in front of Kagome's house looking at Inuyasha's motorcycle.

“Oh come one, why not?” Inuyasha argued.

“Because,” Kagome shot back. “My parents will kill me!” There was no way in hell that she was going to tell him that she had gotten drunk last night.

Inuyasha grinned. “But they're in Venice for two weeks.” Kagome growled.

“Shit,” she muttered under her breath. “Fine,” she sighed. “I went to a party last night with Kouga-“

“Kouga?” Inuyasha snarled.

Kagome took a step back. “Yes, my boyfriend, Kouga… Anyway Eri snuck in some booze and we all got totally wasted. So I don't want to get on your motorcycle because it's gonna be loud and I'd really rather not make my head hurt more, plus it's gonna rain.” She finished, pointing at the sky.

“Oh come on grow a back bone.” Inuyasha said casually. Kagome glared at him.

“No.”

“Fine, you can go in your car, I mean after all it's safer.” He had hit a sore point. Kagome stomped over to his bike and picked up the extra helmet, jamming it on her head. She flipped up the safety flap.

“Are you coming, ugh, I fell so grungy.” Inuyasha just nodded, he was too busy staring. In her tight flare jeans and tight white top Kagome looked anything but grungy.

“Oh, uh. Yeah.” He pulled on his own helmet and climbed on the bike. Kagome hopped on behind him and squirmed for a moment trying to situate herself.

“Okay, I'm good.” She said wrapping her arms tightly around Inuyasha; painfully aware of how close she was to him. Inuyasha bit his lip, holding in a groan, Kagome was moving around behind him and it was making him very, well, actually, it made him feel very nice…

“That was good,” Kagome sighed leaning back in her chair. She had just consumed a large cheeseburger and fries along with a chocolate shake.

“Wow, who knew skinny princess's like you could tuck away that kind of food?” Inuyasha observed. Kagome rolled her eyes and kicked him playfully under the table.

“I was hungry,” she argued. “And besides I didn't eat anything last night.”

“Excuses, excuses.” Inuyasha chided. “You're just a pig…a piggy princess.” Kagome giggled, but her laughter was cut short by a male voice.

“Kagome?”

Kagome looked up into a pair of very sad brown eyes. “Kouga?” she said gently. “It's not-“

“Whatever,” Kouga shook his head before turning on his heel and leaving the restaurant.

“Kouga wait!” Kagome called after him, standing. She turned to follow him but Inuyasha caught her by the wrist.

“Come on Kagome, let him go, you don't love him.” He said. Kagome looked at him incredulously.

“What?” she asked. “How can you say that?” She stepped back as though she had been slapped. “You don't even know me.” Inuyasha looked at her.

“You don't remember do you Kagome? You don't remember anything. I thought maybe I could…” Inuyasha shook his head. Kagome stared at him.

“Your insane,” she said turning and running out the door after Kouga. “Just stay away from me!” she yelled over her shoulder. “Just stay away!”
