Chapter 1. As the Flower Blossoms
She didn't know what she was doing; all she knew was that she couldn't stop. She traced the magenta stripes down the side of his face, and then lightly touched the crescent moon. He purred gently 'causing her to giggle' as she combed her fingers through his hair , a gentle breeze blew through the forest and his silvery hair swirled around her making a moonlit curtain that mingled with her midnight black hair. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw a grin grace his face at her ministrations, his lips so enticing, and soon her body seemed to have a mind of its own as she closed the distance between his lips and hers.
His breath upon hers sent a chill up her spine and a warmth emitted just below her stomach. She was only an inch away now as she leaned in..... and his eyes snapped open. The ice princes golden eyes melted her upon the spot. Normally vacant of any emotion were now filled with a look of lust and adoration!!??
"SHIT!!" Kagome jerked up in bed pulling the covers back as she slipped out of her bed, her feet meeting the cool wood floor. Sweat slipped down her brow as she remembered her dream. 'Of all people why him?'.
A blush rose to her cheeks as she remembered what they had almost done. 'Definitely a dream... must have been the stress ...DAMN!! Those end of the year exams'
"*sigh.....but I still don't understand why I dreamt of Sesshoumaru?
I mean COME ON!!, Knock it into your skull Kagome!! He's a cold blooded killer...like that could ever really happen, come on girl, I mean he's Sesshoumaru and in his eyes your a worthless human who stinks... you can't be that stupid...well maybe you can, you WERE in love with Inuyasha for the longest!!
'OH MY GOD!! I'm going crazy! It's official, I've started talking to myself.......ugh
"WHY CAN'T I JUST BE A NORMAL TEENAGER!!"
"SHUTUP KAGOME! Some people are still trying to sleep here!" her brother Souta banged against the adjacent wall.
"SORRY SOUTA!!.....oops sorry!" she whispered....the second time... "UFFH...I'm losing it......might as well get some shut eye while I still can.
Wait....is that the sun?"
"DAMNIT!!"
"KAGOME!!!!"
Prologue
It's been a year since Kagome and the gang has completed the jewel, surprisingly enough nothing happened. Everybody went back to having semi-normal lives with Sango and Miroku making a permanent settlement in Kaede's village. Inuyasha lived with them whenever he stuck around long enough, he seemed to rather like traveling and fighting demons to strengthen himself. Shippou had become an even more mischievous kit over the years and tags along with Kilala most of the time. After the jewel was completed Kagome went back to her time to try and finish up high school, visiting the feudal era only on the weekends. Since then, Kagome's whole look has changed as well as her attitude.
She got over Inuyasha and his fixation with the dead priestess 'who still walks around.....freaking clay pot' and moved on with her love life. It took forever, but she finally got Kouga to understand that she only loved him as a friend and persuaded him to mate Ayame instead.
With everyone paired up she was finally able to look at her own style. Her wardrobe now consisted mainly of the brand Crucifix©2007 †. It was new to Japan having been imported from god only knows were and she was the only one to have it. As like the name everything had the crucifix logo [†] on it a single cross that varied in design. A new wardrobe meant a new haircut, so now Kagome's ebony tresses had been cut into layers giving her hair the long but spiky look that went well with the original look the crucifix clothes gave her.
~Now~
"SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!", Kagome said as she raced around her room looking for the notes she made for her test, hopping around while trying to also put on her clothes.
" I am so screwed! OOmph!" sprawled on the ground she saw a few papers hidden underneath her bed... "AHA! I got you know"
"Sis are you talking to yourself?" her lil brother said magically appearing at her door
"No...." she said with a huff finally lacing up her boot and swatting at her white cargo pants to make the invisible dust disappear....lol..
"Well I just came up because mom said that the power went out last night and that your test starts in 4 minutes ....good luck sis!" Souta said as he skipped down the stairs to eat a hearty breakfast.....Leaving a now near suicide Kagome in her room.
Racing from her room and grabbing her crucifix jacket from the closet. (just for your info, its summer school since the final battle w/ Naraku took place at the end of the school year, and she missed her exams.) The jacket was pure white with a black crucifix on both arms and a large one on the back enveloped in black flames ( my own brand Crucifex^_^). Around both wrists ere two bands a white and black leather one with a metal cross of course in the center, and the other one was an alternate. On her neck was a double looped black leather necklace with a silver cross hanging down front that had the shikon no tama embedded in the center of it, a gift from her mother.
Jumping on the back of her Birthday present she sped off. (ok just so your not lost, ever since the defeat of Naraku, Kagome has been fascinated with speed and anything that she can get a 'healthy' high off of. Her ride just happened to be a customized Ninja, black and white with a set of black and white crosses on either side, and a black and white helmet to match with 3 crosses inlaid in it. The right side was the alternate of the left embellishing white with a black cross and the opposite side was black with a white cross. To say she was obsessed with crucifex was an understatement.
'I'm gonna make it!' kagome thought as she sped down the street taking a left only to find herself faced with traffic.........and a lot of it moving slower than a snails pace...
"OH NO!!! NOT today!! I Will get to my class on time! I'll be DAMNED if I stayed up all night studying and NOT get to take this DAMN test!! I had BETTER damn make it on time!" (curse much?) Backing up the ninja she turned down an empty alley and spotted a ramp....going at a 65* angle.......not safe. [*shakes head]......but useful...in kagomes mind the perfect shortcut.
She revved up the ninja's engine and counted down in her mind....'
Random men at bus stop..>>"Hey man look at that chick! I think she's gonna' try and jump it! Hahahaha" Random man # 1 said.
"She'll prolly end up killing herself in the process...too bad though she has some nice legs... " Random man # 2 said.
"Oh shit!" random man # 1 said.
'100 Okinawa, 99 Okinawa, 0 OKINAWA!!' with that she gave it full throttle and sped up to the approaching ramp. 10 meters, 6 meters, 3 meters, and takeoff! She hit the pulled back her bike at the last moment into the air and sped up the ramp with just enough speed to fly over the brick wall some 8 feet away. The men across the street were in shock, so when their bus pulled up they missed it.......too bad for them.
Approximately 3 block away Kagome released the throttle and slowly glided into her parking space. Grabbing her bag from the bike (alas another crucifex brand) and sprinted into the school....just as the bell rang.
5 hours later:
"I'm Done!! *WOOT!" Kagome said twirling around on the school steps bag in had.
"OOF!" [her bag connected with another human being.]
"Higurashi?"
"HOUJO!" Kagome cried in suprise."Oh my god I am SOOO SORRY! I didn't see you there!!!"
"Oh I'm fine, but Hasyourbackbeenaching?Haveyoufixedthatathletesfoot? Isyourvisionstillthere? Haveyougotalzheimersnow?Do.."
"Huh? Oh ....... nope All better now!" Kagome grinned.
"Wow you sure have changed. You look great!" Houjo said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah, so do you! So what brings you around? Not summer school? From what I've heard you passed with straight A's last year, and got a scholarship for Tokyo U." Kagome said. Twirling her bag with her finger.
"Yeah, just popping by to get a head start on next year" Houjo grinned, his eyes never once leaving Kagome's figure. "So since your healthy and all, would you like to go to the movies with me this weekend?"
Squeaming under his gaze, she remembered why she wasn't exactly thrilled to see him. Shrugging off his hand she spoke.
"Sorry Houjo, I just don't," 'say it kagome say it! you just don't like him like that!'," have the time. I have to go pick up my lil brother from Soccer practice! Maybe another time!" Glancing back to see him smile and wave at her she rushed over to Katana 'the bikes name' and gunned it. She decided to go for a nice long drive up to one of her favorite spots to sit and think.

Preview to Chapter 2
The wind blew her silky strands behind her as she sped even faster down the empty road relishing in the adrenaline rush it gave her. Some time later she hit a forest edge, and parked her bike hidden in the brush. Taking her bag she pulled out a sketch pad and pencil and began to hike up a trail invisible to everyone but her. The sun still high rained through the leaves overhead. The forest full of life, taking no note of Kagome, a frequent visitor of it. Finally reaching her destination she pushed aside the bushes to enter a glade that had a small creek winding through it.
'Ah how I've missed this place'
The clearing held a single cherry blossom tree in the clearing, and hundreds of petals resting on the ground. She had found this place in the spring on the day she finally got over Inuyasha. The cherry blossoms were always in full bloom, and even this late in the year seemed to be possessed with magic looking as pretty as if they just blossomed. Kagome took off her jacket and rested against the bottom of the tree closing her eyes to take part in the peacefulness of it all.
Way up here cell phones didn't work because they were out of range so while it wasn't exactly good, it meant that there was no disturbance of the peace. Sighing once more Kagome looked to the forest. Putting her lips together she whistled 3 low notes and then a final high pitched one, and waited. Overhead a flock of birds left their nests with a symphony all their own. And final the guest appeared. There was not even a rustle and it tackled her........
Want the Rest?? Then all I need is ONE response. Simple ehh?
