Chapter 1:

oOoLight RainoOo

The icy, crisp April air froze the clouds into a motionless state. The wind yelled and blew as if to terrify the bleachers. Kagome stopped and looked down, the rains had darken the track in color. Lifting her head, she look to the football field. All Kagome Higurashi could see was the greedy shine of the wet turf under the stadium lights. She continued to walk toward the gates, the weather the city had been experiencing gave them the appearance of melting ice. Wrapping her hand around one of the bars, she felt it was still slick and cold from the rain. She lingered momentarily at the gates.

It feels like winter. Kagome thought as she continued up the stone steps. Sitting on the bleachers, she looked up at the scoreboard, it was the only thing that was not lit in the stadium. The wind blew her hair across her face and Kagome felt a drop of water slide down her cheek. Tucking the loose strand behind her ear, she gazed up and more water came to her face.

A light rain had started, and the drops fell in even rhythmic pattern. Each one was an icy prick when it landed on her skin. The sky grew darker and she knew she had to leave soon. Looking around anxiously Kagome stood up to leave, but as she did, the person who had called her to this depressing scene arrived.

Though it was across the stadium, Kagome could still make out his silhouette. He had a lean, athletic build and long, bushy hair. He walked across the stadium and paused where Kagome had paused moments before. He looked up to the bleachers and gave a weak smile. Kagome hugged herself and stared at her feet. The rain continued to fall, now in harder drum beats. Soon Kagome was soaked in her soft, navy blue sweater.

"Kagome, are you crazy?" Inuyasha said. "You're gonna to freeze to death."
Kagome felt a weight dropped on her shoulders
"Put it on so you don't catch a cold."
Kagome took the jacket off her shoulders and held it out to him,
"But what about you?"
Inuyasha pushed it back to her,
"Put it on, you ain't nothing but skin and bones. I have fat, I'll live."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, she sighed as she put on the jacket. He doesn't have any fat. Just muscle, adorable muscles. Kagome shook her head. What am I thinking? We're friends, best friends, nothing more...

Inuyasha sat down while Kagome put on the jacket. He studied her. Her hair fell like soft cascades to her shoulders, her skin appeared smooth and soft. What am I doing? How could she... Inuyasha mentally shook his head. How could I?

Kagome felt Inuyasha staring, and glanced up at him. His black hair was damp due to the rain, his smooth skin lay hidden under the white shirt he was wearing, that was getting soaked, teasing her with his muscular chest.

Inuyasha had always been stubborn, cocky and rash. Her brown eyes were brighter and more energetic than the fierce amber eyes of Inuyasha's. But Kagome felt safe to be around him, he was her comfort. However, their senior year he was busier than ever, or at least she could not spend as much time as she would have liked with him. Kagome remembered the day when he told her his biggest secret, and her promise never to reveal it.
