[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Today is the final day of summer.

*sigh*

So my updating speed with most likely plummet.

:(

But I promise, I will continue this story until the very end, just have faith in me!

:D








He couldn't help but notice how the gentle breeze cascaded through her silky, ebony locks, swiftly pushing it in different directions at once.

He couldn't help but notice how the wind blew the scent of wildflowers, which seemed to be emitting from her, in his direction. He couldn't help but notice how the thin fabric known as a "tank top," and a loose pair of jeans that hugged her waist fitted her slender figure so amazingly.

He couldn't help but notice how such a simple being could look so elegant, how her skin practically glistened under the sun's rays.

Her eyes, a darker shade of almond, lit up, hints of auburn hidden in their depths. With a huff, he watched as she shut her car door, luggage in hand, and fiddled with the set of keys in her free hand. As her flip flops sounded the pavement, he saw her sneak a gaze in his direction, sending him a heart warming smile. Just that smile alone, sent vibrant bolts of electricity down his spine. The back of his neck became prickly with goosebumps. No coherent thought was able to form in his mind.

And just that quickly, the girl had diverted her attention back to her front door, driving the key through the lock. Moments later, he was left outside, standing alone.

So this woman appeared to be their new neighbor.


He clutched his forehead, swearing inwardly.

She was human.

And God, was she beautiful.

The worst part of this all?

'This Sesshomaru does not give any human a second glance.'

"I swear you'll be the death of me," InuYasha mumbled with mock annoyance, to the girl that had slowly crept her way into his heart. She giggled, her hands still shielding his view. "Oh c'mon, it's not that bad! Don't ya trust me?"

Even though the question required no answer, InuYasha couldn't help but ponder over it for a moment.

'Do I trust her?'

Sure, he felt at ease when he was around her. He felt this side of him that had died years ago, that was tucked away into the shadows. Kagome was a dim, yet vivid light that was slowly but certainly brightening up significant parts of him. He missed feeling this happiness, this euphoria that he had felt so long ago.

He wasn't supposed to feel this way, though.

He was a half demon, who brutally murdered his mother, which is why he pushed her away.

He wasn't supposed to feel ecstasy, this maddening intoxication.

But he did.

And he loved it.

What scared him the most was the fact that her scent teased his demon side. He cursed inwardly recalling the effect she had had on him. If he stayed around her much longer, it would become uncontrollable.
Said woman was leading him somewhere during their lunch hour, her dainty palms covering his eyes as she eagerly walked him outside. Cherry blossom petals sailed the trails of the wind.
Finally, he felt her fingers slide from his face.

"This is my secret spot!" she exclaimed, clutching her hands together, a wide grin on his face. His auburn eyes flickered open, gazing at his surroundings, before bringing his brows down. They stood outside school grounds, surrounded by cherry blossom trees. Many students walked around, laughing and chatting.

"Uh, Kagome? This spot doesn't look very secret to me."

She huffed, before plopping down next to a tree, and patting the ground next to her, signaling him to sit. He complied, his legs automatically drifting to an indian style manner. "Well, whether that be true or not, it's still a nice spot!" she debated, while opening her brown paper sack lunch. He smirked and shut his eyes briefly, enjoying this sense of calm, feeling of halcyon that he always felt with this girl. His stomach began to grumble loudly, and he cursed inwardly, realizing he forgot his lunch. "Here," Kagome offered softly, holding out a container of rice balls to him.

He opened one eye and huffed.

"I'm fine, missy."

She chuckled, and sneakily tickled his stomach, making him yelp in surprise.

Taking advantage of that moment, she slid a piece of the rice ball in his mouth, smiling as she did so.

"Now eat."

He snorted, but chewed, savoring the taste of the food she practically forced down his throat.
At the same time, he felt a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, before sticking his tongue out playfully at her, and diving in, snatching the rest of the rice balls from her.

"Hey!" she shouted, reaching for them, giggling.

"Give those back, piggy!"

He smirked, holding them out of reach. "Piggy, eh? Y'know, I could eat all of these all by myself! "

"I'll tickle you again!" she threatened, raising her fingers menacingly. He yelped like any dog would, and quickly handed her the tray of food.
She smiled warmly, before offering him another. He eagerly accepted, his stomach finally becoming settled.

He hated to admit it, but..

'This is the best day I've had in a very long time..'

"Alright! I'm going to try to shove another Biochemistry session in before we get back to rehearsals!" Mr.Hotchi announced, shoving a pair of reading glasses on his nose. The students were finally back in the classroom, temporarily at least.

"Rehearsals will be on Thursdays and Fridays from now on. After all, I know you all missed this class so much!"
The teacher received agonizing sighs and complaints, but he chuckled them off. The classroom phone rang. Mr.Hotchi immediately answered, making the class break out into a soft chatter. InuYasha spotted that Hojo boy sitting behind Kagome on the opposite side of the room. He tapped her shoulder, making her turn around. He then proceeded to lean forward and whisper something in her ear, making her giggle. InuYasha began to chew on the inside of his cheek, clutching his fists tightly.

'Why does that kid bother me so damn much? He makes me friggin' blood boil. I don't like him being around...her.'

He maneuvered his ears like satellites, managing to pick up their conversation.

"We should go out sometime, Kagome. How about a movie Saturday night?" Hojo asked, his eyes scanning over her in hope. She gulped nervously.

'Uh oh. Now what do I say?'

InuYasha scowled.

'That idiot just doesn't give up, does he? Kagome wouldn't dare go out with him.'

"It's just a movie, then I'll take you straight home, I promise!" he said, watching the wheels twirk in her head. She sighed.

'One date couldn't hurt, right?'

"Uh..ok?"

The hanyou's eyes widened.

"Did she-"

"Oh thank you so much, Kagome! I swear you won't regret it!" He said excitedly.

"She accepted!? What the fu-"

"Alright, settle down class!" Mr. Hotchi exclaimed, resting the phone back on the hook and handing out a sheet of paper to the class.

"This will be tonight's homework! Do problems 1-25."

He noticed how she had changed into a vivid golden sundress, her chestnut orbs complimenting it quite well. Her hair was up in a loose bun, a few loose strands acting on their own accord, forming around her face. She gazed up at him, offering that familiar cordial smile.


As like before, he showed no sign of acknowledgment, but continued to pierce her with his honeyed eyes, not moving them even for a moment. He watched her get into her car, and slowly drive off into the distance, before cursing once again. He found himself doing this a lot lately.

He'd sit on his porch, pretending to read the newspaper, but secretly waiting for the chestnut eyed girl to come out of her house. Watching her was like a sport. He ached for the breeze to blow her scent into his direction, just to savor the wildflowers she represented.

She'd always offer him a smile, even knowing he wouldn't do the same.

She was kind.

And then he'd curse to himself for doing it again, only to repeat his actions the next day.

She was sin.

"I need tutoring this Saturday," InuYasha blurted out, shoving his hands into his pockets, as Kagome followed in stride next to him on their way back to her house. She raised a brow.

"Why so sudden?"

"I just want to be extra prepared for the test next Friday," he answered quickly, avoiding her piercing blue eyes. "Um, alright. What time would be best for you?" she asked, yawning, and stretching her limbs out.
"About seven-ish," he replied nonchalantly, and eyed her sneakily, waiting for her reaction. She rubbed her hand over her chin, an inquisitive look on her face. "Mind if we make it a bit earlier? I have this..thing to do around that time." He snorted, making her glance at him suspiciously. "What?!" she demanded. He crossed his arms stuck his nose in the air, a cross look on his face. "You have a date with that Hobo guy. That's your 'thing', isn't it?" Her jaw dropped. "H-how did you know what about that?" she stammered.

He feh'd.

"That's not the point. If you want to go out with your boyfriend instead of tutor me, it's fine. Not like I care."

Her eyes softened.

"No-no, it's not like that..and he's definitely not my boyfriend! And if you really wanna know.."

She moved closer to him, wrapping and arm around his, making him incredibly skittish.

"I prefer to be around you than him! So geez, quite worrying, InuYasha!"

She grinned, as they stepped on her front porch. He noted on how she still clutched his arm, sending a line of goosebumps in that area. He was becoming rather sweaty, and he felt his demon side pulsing, threatening to awake. Her honeysuckle aroma drowned him, as he felt his eyes literally roll in the back of his head. The moment she opened the door, he sped into the bathroom, quickly shutting the door behind him.

He rested his hand son the sink, and proceeded to splash water on his face until he cooled off.

This needed to be handled.

Definitely.
