"When I was a child, my mother told me that our souls are connected to someone else. Some people are lucky and they meet their soulmate, but some are not so lucky. My mother was one of the lucky ones. She used to tell me stories about how my father would stutter when he was around her. She told me bedtime stories about their first dates, their casual encounters, how quietly she would speak about their short conversations and even the littlest gift gave my mother a smile. But I never got to meet my father. He died shortly after my brother was born." Kagome poured herself a cup of tea from the small kettle sitting on the tray on her desk. The steam warmed her face as she allowed the sweet scent of hot tea fill her nose. Inuyasha laid casually on her bed, listening to his love talk about her childhood. He loved listening to her. It was music to his hyper-sensitive ears. The sun began to set as she continued on and on with her past. Kagome's family was out of town for the week so she had the house all to herself, and thankfully Inuyasha came to her lonely rescue.

"Inuyasha, have some tea." Kagome was handing the dog demon a hot cup, bringing him back to reality. It seemed he was daydreaming about her even though she was right in front of him.

"Kagome, you have the most beautiful sounding voice." Inuyasha said, simpathetically. Oh crap, it's the new moon! I forgot. He thought to himself. Inuyasha always hated showing his human affection, but when the new moon came around, it was a different side of him that emerged from the rubble of his cold heart. Kagome watched as his hair became dark and his dog ears disappeared. Her eyes shimmered a bit as she watched, unable to look away. "What are you looking at?" She woke up from her daze as Inuyasha questioned her.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, curious. Kagome turned around and looked at her calendar. "Would you like me to make dinner?" She asked him. Why am I acting so darn nervous? I've made him food before, so why the sudden change in feelings? Is it because I love him? Kagome was confused and unable to think straight. Before she could allow Inuyasha to speak, Kagome walked out of the door, down the stairs, and into the kitchen.

Inuyasha sat alone in Kagome's bedroom confused and distraught with what to think or say about his situation. "Maybe if I do something I won't seem so edgy." He quickly got up and began to look around her room a bit. He noticed various picture frames with photos of Kagome and her family. There was a bookshelf with a variety of novels and enough textbooks to bore a college grad. Kagome's desk was filled with notes, eraser shavings, a few sharpened and some broken pencils, a manual pencil sharpener, and some large erasers. Feeling even more curious, he began to open the desk drawers. The two top drawers were small and filled with pencils, pens, color pencils, crayons, and erasers. The left bottom drawer was filled with paper, but the right bottom one was locked. Unable to open the drawer, he snooped around her nightstand drawer and found a book. Since he was able to read, thanks to Kagome's wonderful teaching skills, he took out the book and saw it read "My Diary" in some kind of scripted font on the front. Feeling nervous but excited at the same time, he closed the nightstand drawer and began to read.
