Chapter One: To Err is Human

 

 

 

“ Good mornnning Tokyo this is Sachi Yamamoto, it's a bright winter morning…”

 

Kagome Higurashi slammed her hand against her alarm clock with a groan then rolled out of bed. She pulled her long wavy ink black hair from her ponytail and rubbed the sleep from her clear sapphire eyes. She turned on her CD player turning it up on so she could hear it throughout her apartment.

 

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket

“ The beginning of another day…” Kagome sighed rubbing a few kinks from her neck. Buyo, Kagome's obese cat meowed and the young doctor walked over to her small kitchen pouring the fat feline a bowl of food. The cat sniffed at the food then looked up at Kagome pleadingly. “ No, you eat your food. The vet said you were overweight… I know it must be terrible.. but it's good for you!” Kagome nudged the bowl of food towards the cat with her food before going back into her bedroom.

 

Feeling good at the top

 

Grabbing two fluffy pink towels, she made her way to the bathroom for a quick shower before heading to her favorite coffee shop then to the hospital. She had an important lunch meeting with Takahashi Corp. about striking some kind of deal in getting discounted medical products.

 

She got into her car and passed by the rich part of Tokyo wishing she could afford a mansion, but alas, she was still paying off student loans.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

 

Inuyasha Takahashi picked up his digital alarm clock and threw it forcefully across his bedroom, causing it to shatter into little plastic and metal pieces on his carpeted floor. Picking up the remote on his side table he pressed a few buttons and a song began to play from the speakers build into the house's walls.

 

Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool

 

He sat up slowly then scratched his head, making his platinum hair shake wildly. Opening up the door to his bedroom balcony he let out a tired howl, which echoed throughout his backyard, causing a few birds to fly with fright from the snow covered trees.

 

“ I love owning my own company.” He said to himself with a chuckle, he didn't have to go to the office until he wanted to, at least not until his bastard of a half brother bitched him out to show up.. which usually happened around noon-ish.

 

Inuyasha stretched out his arms as he walked into his spacious closet pulling on a pair of sweat pants, a sweatshirt and some running shoes Inuyasha bolted out the door for his daily morning run and his daily cup of coffee from a random corner café.

Kagome hummed along with the song as she drove, on her way to grab a big cup of coffee, maybe a muffin, or a bagel, maybe a coffee cake?

 

But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores-stores-stores

 

Kagome growled as her CD skipped repeating stores nearly ten times. She banged her fist against the dashboard then began trying to fast forward so the song would pass the skipping part.

 

“ What the heck?!” She looked up from her CD player to the road and slammed forcefully on the brakes when she saw someone jogging across the street. “ AH!” She swerved to the left, avoiding the runner completely. She was relieved that it was early enough that there weren't any cars in the road. Pulling over onto the side of the road she jumped out of the car.

 

“ Holy crud! I'm so sorry!” Kagome said to the runner who removed the hood from his head. “ I'm a doctor. Are you hurt?!” The man she had nearly flattened with her car smirked at her twitching his dog ears.. She knew youkai existed but usually they had concealment spells.

 

Apples and oranges

“ Hey, relax! It's okay.. You're good at swerving. I'm fine.” Inuyasha was actually secretly a little bit shaken, but when he saw the driver, he thought it might be a nice way to meet a pretty girl. The young woman smiled uneasily and stuck out her hand to the hanyou who shook it.

 

“ Kagome Higurashi, I'm sorry. My CD started skipping and I didn't see the light turn red. I can't believe it. I'm so sorry!” The man chuckled and shook her hand. Inuyasha discreetly inhaled, her scent was intoxicating. He took a mental note to ask her to dinner and maybe get a little closer to the beautiful creature before him. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold, her raven hair hung behind her in a high ponytail, stormy azure eyes and from what he could tell with her form fitting gray blazer and gray knee length skit, she had a hot body.

 

“ I'm Inuyasha Takahashi.. Mrs. Higurashi?” Kagome's face became pink with embarrassment as she took her hand back regretfully. She was beginning to settle down, even though her heart was beating a million miles a minute in her chest. Her eyes traveled over the youkai, he had the most piercing amber eyes she'd ever seen in her life and strangely enough his silver hair looked so soft, she was a little jealous. She smiled to herself when she saw his Tokyo University sweatshirt she'd gone there too.

 

Apples and oranges

 

“ It's Miss Higurashi. Er, Doctor Higurashi if I had to get all technical.” The doctor blushed at the man before her. “ I'm sorry I nearly squashed you.” Kagome blushed at the memory.

 

Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly

To meet the people

 

“ If you have to be technical I have to also, I'm also a doctor. You didn't nearly squash me wench.. I'm a hanyou I would have been fine.” Inuyasha scoffed and crossed his arms. The fiery woman gave him a doubtful but amused look and tapped her foot.

 

She's on time again

 

“ I'm going to ignore the fact you called me wench.” Kagome shivered as a cold wind hit but it carried the song playing on Inuyasha's iPod to her ear. “ And because I was listening to that song before the near accident.” Inuyasha's ears twitched at her last statement.“ So you're a hanyou?” Inuyasha nodded half expecting the girl to run in fright or make some kind of hateful comment, but it never came.

 

“ I actually forgot about my concealment spell.” Kagome smiled to the hanyou as she fiddled with buttons of her blazer.

 

And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink

 

“ I'm actually a miko too. I could probably put a spell on something that you always wear so that all you have to do is wear it and you're concealed.” She actually hadn't used her miko powers in a long time. She was once a powerful teenage miko with great promise, but one day she just stopped.

 

Apples and oranges

 

“ That'd be awesome.” Another breeze hit and Kagome shivered once more from the cold. Inuyasha removed his hooded sweatshirt and handed it to Kagome who accepted it with a gracious thank you. She reveled in the warmth of Inuyasha's large sweater. To her surprise it didn't smell like someone had been out running in it, it actually smelled nice, really nice. `Doesn't hate that I'm a hanyou, went to Tokyu, listens to Pink Floyd, a doctor, smells wonderful.. I'd be in heaven if she loved ramen.' Inuyasha thought with an inward grin. “ I'd love to have dinner with you some time.” He said suddenly without thinking. `I really need to think before I speak.'

 

Apples and oranges

 

“ I'd say I would cook for you, but all I can cook is ramen.. I can live off of that stuff forever.” Inuyasha swore his brain did flips in his skull she was perfect. Mate material.. he didn't even realize what he was about to say until it all came out.

 

“ Do you believe in fate?” Inuyasha asked with a slight chuckle, but Kagome frowned.

 

Apples and oranges

 

“ I don't believe in fate.” She said seriously, Inuyasha's eyes widened.“ That's why I'm not really a miko. I haven't believe in Kami or Fate in a long time.” Kagome's voice was filled with a vague sadness. She looked up into the hanyou's amazed eyes.

 

“ It's always seemed like a girly kind of thing.” Kagome's face contorted into one of amusement. He had a look of befuddlement etched on his handsome and tanned features, which made Kagome's lips turn upwards into a small smile. The thought of this man actually studying then becoming a doctor made Kagome inwardly chuckle.

 

“ Well you believe in it, doesn't that compromise your masculinity?” Kagome pulled her phone from her blazer pocket. Inuyasha huffed opening his mouth to respond but was cut off by Kagome. “POO! I'm going to be late for my appointment, which in turn will make me late for my 12 o'clock meeting..” Kagome shoved her phone into her pocket. “I have to go.” Kagome said before jumping into her car and driving away.

A/N: I was struck by inspiration while speeding down the college parking lot and I was thinking… I'm going to slow down because if someone popped out then that would suck.
