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

Kagome let her curiosity get the best of her. One afternoon before she went to work, she climbed the stairs of his apartment complex and let herself in.

It was by dumb luck that she spotted him in the second floor hallway just as he was getting home. She approached him as he juggled his groceries and keys.

“Who are you?” she asked.

“Katsuo Oshiro,” he said simply, shoving his key into the lock.

“You’re a youkai.”

They looked at each other for an awkward moment, neither of their set expressions faltering. He was the first to turn away, quickly turning his key and unlocking the door.

“I don’t have time for this,” he said and pushed the door open.

Kagome stretched her arm across the doorway, blocking his path. “I’m not leaving,” she said resolutely.

He raised an eyebrow. “You always were a stubborn little miko,” he growled.

Something inhuman danced across his brown eyes.

Recognition hit her full on. Her arm fell limp out of his path. Her lips glued themselves together, keeping her from speaking his name. She didn’t know what to say until it was too late.

“Wait-!”

The apartment door slammed heavily in Kagome’s face.
