Chapter 1: First Meeting

 

Kagome woke up as her bedroom door was slowly opened. Quietly, little feet entered her room, shut the door, and padded in front of her bed.

 

“What are you doing, Rin?” She asked, making the little girl jump.

 

“Gosh, Kagome! You scared me to death!” Rin exclaimed, using her free hand to cover her heart. In her other hand was her teddy bear.

 

“What's wrong?” Kagome asked again.

 

“I had a bad dream, and I don't want to sleep alone.” Rin pouted. She looked a lot like Kagome. They both had warm brown eyes, and fly away raven hair. Kagome was seventeen and Rin was eight.

 

“Go sleep with mom and dad.” Kagome suggested.

 

“No. I don't wanna wake them up. Daddy might get mad.” Rin explained.

 

“Then Kikyo.” Kagome volunteered their oldest sibling. Kikyo was twenty-three and was married. She was going to college to be a doctor and her husband was a lawyer. They were staying in Kikyo's old room so they could be with the family for the entire holiday season. Joy.

 

“Naraku is with her and he is creepy.” Rin answered. No one was fond of Naraku. He was creepy.

 

“What about Sango?” Kagome asked. Sango was twenty and visiting from college for Christmas break. She wanted to be an FBI agent.

 

“She just got home today, and is to tired to worry about me.” Rin pouted.

 

“Kohaku then.” Kohaku was fifteen and the eldest boy in the family.

 

“I think he has a girl over.” Rin whispered. That wasn't a surprise. Kohaku seemed to be the stud of the freshmen class at their school.

 

“Sota?” Kagome suggested. Sota was their other brother. He was twelve, making Rin the baby of the family.

 

“No. He is mean to me. I don't like him. Please Kagome? You're my favorite sister! Please?” Rin batted her eyelashes and stuck out her bottom lip.

 

Kagome sighed, and made room. Her little sister was too cute for her own good. Rin happily crawled in and snuggled against Kagome.

 

“What was your nightmare about?” Kagome asked as she pulled up her dolphin comforter.

 

“I was bad and Santa Clause yelled at me! And he left me a bag of coal and sticks for Christmas!” Rin exclaimed as if she was terrified.

 

“Wow. Scary.” Kagome commented sarcastically. Santa was so fake. She couldn't believe that Rin still believed in him.

 

“What do you want from Santa this year?” Rin asked.

 

“Nothing. Santa is for kids. I'm to old.”

 

“You mean you don't believe in Santa!” Rin gasped, like not believing in Santa was committing a felony.

 

“Umm. No. Santa only visits little kids like you. I'm to big.” Kagome quickly lied. She didn't want to tell Rin that Santa didn't exist. Christmas was always more magical and fun when you believed that some big, old, fat guy came down your chimney every year.

 

“Then I'm staying little forever!” Rin yawned.

 

“That's good. Now go to sleep.” Kagome said softly.

~~~~~~~~~

 

Kagome woke up to a quiet house. She looked at her alarm clock. 10:00. They were supposed to go Christmas shopping at eight.

 

Rin was no longer beside Kagome. Kagome got out of bed and checked all the rooms. The house was completely empty. Kagome bit her lip to hold back her tears.

 

They forgot to wake her up. Her family forgot about her. Like always. She was the only one out of all six siblings that was neglected. Didn't they care about her? This was the sixth time they forgot her.

 

When she was four, her mom left her at the shopping mall. Kagome had been there until it closed. Some of the employees found her in a clothes rack crying and called her mom. Her family didn't even realize she was missing.

 

When she was six, they left her in the parking lot of the school after one of Kikyo's basketball games. One of Kikyo's teammates parents drove her home.

 

When Kagome was nine, her father forgot to pick Kagome up at school when her mother went into labor with Rin. He remembered everyone else. No one even realized it until they got home that night at ten. They found her sitting on the front porch, locked out of the house.

 

She was accidentally left at home, when her family went to an amusement park when she was twelve. When Kagome found out they left without her that time, she ran away from home. Her parents didn't even notice she was missing until the second day. She was found, four days later at a playground, miles from her house.

 

Last time, she was fifteen, and had to makeup a test after school. Her family forgot to pick her up, and a teacher had to drive her home.

 

Now it happened again. It wasn't fair. What made her so forgettable? Why was she always the one forgotten? Was it because she didn't fit in with her family? Did her parents even love her?

 

Kagome felt alone. It seemed like no one care. No one cared about her. No one loved her.

 

`Santa can you hear me? I'm a little too old for this, but I don't care. I only want one thing for Christmas this year. I want to fall in love.' Kagome thought.

 

Kagome sauntered over to the fridge. All it held was a couple of water bottles, a bottle of ketchup, soy sauce, mayonnaise, a few Mountain Dews, a jug of milk, and a slice of left over supreme pizza from the Pizza Shack.

 

`Yuck, I hate supreme pizza.' Kagome shut the door to the fridge and opened the snack cabinet. There was an empty box of tasty cakes, a bag of chip crumbs, and a bottle of squeeze cheese.

 

Sighing, Kagome shut the door of the cabinet and went back her room. There was no way she could wait until her parents got back home to eat. God only knew when that would be.

 

Kagome showered and dressed in a pair of jeans and a red, long sleeved shirt that had a list on it. The list said `Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is the perfect guy.' She let her hair down and did her makeup.

 

 

 

On her way out the door, she grabbed her purse, some grocery money that her parents hid in the freezer, and the keys to her car. Kagome slipped her feet into a pair of white Nikes and put her puffy, light blue, winter coat on.

 

Kagome drove her sporty little 1990 camaro to the local grocery store. Her small town only had one grocery store, an old bowling alley, a two screen movie theater, two gas stations, a bar, a pizza place called The Pizza Shack, and a small restaurant called Diffys.

Kagome worked there, but currently the restaurant had taken three weeks off the holidays.

 

Kagome bought enough food to last for about three days. Normally, it was enough food to last all week, but with so many people in the house it would never last a week.

 

There was barely anyone in the store. Everyone probably drove miles to get to the closest mall to go Christmas shopping. Lucky them.

 

Kagome got in ling and put her things on the counter for the cashier to ring up.

 

“Hey, it's your lucky day.”

 

“What?” Kagome asked, looking up at the cashier for the first time. He looked around her age. Maybe a little older. He had amber eyes that sparkled with mischief. His hair was a beautiful silver, that HAD to be natural. He looked like an angel, except for that glint in his eye that said he was up to something. On top of his head set the cutest dog-ears ever.

 

“It's your lucky day. I'm that guy.” The boy said, pointing at her shirt.

 

“What makes you think you're the perfect guy for me….InuYasha?” She asked, looking at his name tag.

 

“Because you're the mirror image of the perfect girl.” He said smiling.

 

“Are you flirting with me?” Kagome giggled.

 

“Well, not anymore.” InuYasha mumbled, all of his cool gone. He continued to scan the items.

 

“You're new around here, aren't you?” Kagome asked, “I mean, I never saw you around, and around here, you know everyone.”

 

“Yeah. My family just moved here form New York City. Talk about Culture shock. This has to be the smallest town in the world.” InuYasha complained.

 

“At least the air is fresh here. So, what made your parents come all the way here from the big apple?”

“I got kicked out of school, again. It was either move out to the middle of nowhere, or get sent to juvy.” InuYasha explained.

 

“Wow. You must be one of those bad boy types. What grade are you in?” Kagome asked. The thought of this boy being a bad boy excited Kagome. There were no bad boys in this town. InuYasha was interesting, and hot.

 

“Twelfth. I only have to do half a year and I can ditch this crappy town.”

 

“Who knows, by then you might want to stick around.” Kagome suggested smiling at the way cute senior in front of her.

 

“So, what's your name?” InuYasha rang up the total cost.

 

“Kagome,” she answered.

 

“Total comes to $236.95. That's a lot for such a tiny person.” InuYasha commented, taking the money she handed him.

 

“It's not all for me, I have five siblings, so it will all get ate.” Kagome explained. She set the bags in her cart. InuYasha put a sign on his register that said closed, and turned off the light.

 

“Hey, Jim, I'm going to help her take these to her cart.” InuYasha yelled at the manager. InuYasha took the cart from Kagome and began pushing it out of the store.

 

“Hey, I can do it.” Kagome complained walking next him. He just glanced at her and smirked.

 

“Which car is yours?” InuYasha asked. Kagome led him over to the camaro and began putting the bags in the back seat.

 

“So, you got a boyfriend?” InuYasha asked hesitantly.

 

“Nope.” Kagome answered, he handed her another bag and she put it in the car.

 

“You want to do something tonight?” InuYasha asked, his voice wasn't as hesitant.

 

“Can't,”

 

“Oh come on! We can go to the movies or bowling or to that pizza joint. Or all three. Or we could go to my place.” InuYasha added slyly.

 

“Tell you what, if I see you two more times in the next three days, then we'll go out.” Kagome answered, as she put the last bag in the car. She turned to face him.

 

“Why in two days?” InuYasha asked, skeptically.

 

“Well, my parents ran into each other three times in three days before they went on a date. Then they fell in love and have been together since they were fifteen. Same with my oldest sister. So if I see you two more times in the next three days, we'll go out.” Kagome explained.

 

“That is a weird way to pick someone to go out with.” InuYasha said, he looked at Kagome like she was nuts. “What if you run into some really old, fat guy three times, would you go out with him?”

 

“No, it's kinda like a family tradition, and it only works on people we like. Well, see ya later.” Kagome got in her car, and shut the door.

 

“Wait, I need your number.” InuYasha reminded her.

 

“Not if it's meant to be.” Kagome teased, rolling down her window.

 

“You're weird.” InuYasha informed her.

 

“Yeah, well, everyone around here is. See ya around.” Kagome pulled out of the parking lot and drove away.

 

InuYasha continued to stand there, thinking about how in the hell he would see her twice in the next two days. Sure, it was a small town, but still. What was the chance that they would fall in love like her parents and her sister?

 

Well, if that's what it took to get her then he'd do it. But what if they didn't see each other two more times in those two days? Did that mean she wouldn't go out with him. `Girls are so weird.' InuYasha thought, as he went back into the store.
