Part 1:: "Introductions"

A completely different experience...

A place of total confusion and chaos, or as someone once told me:

'A place of Warriors, Wizards, and Witches.'

When in reality it was: where hormones are bound to surface; if they already hadn't, where sparks fly between unsuspecting victims, where loves blossom and grow, also where many feel: Rejection and Jealously.

Two emotions that make people do the most insane things to get attention. In my mind all of this relates to one simple, blunt word: 'Stupidity.'

These were all emotions, I believed I didn't need and didn't have; that is, until I was ensnared and bound to the emotion called: 'Love.'

(A/N: Who do you think it is?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It happened before I had the power to prevent it, and by the time I had realized it I had fallen too deep...

This is not a story of a normal high schooler that relies on a 10 dollar allowance and the extra cash they get from their part-time jobs. In fact; it is not even related to one of those stories when a boy meets a girl, they both fall in love and live happily ever after. This is the story of my life and how I fell in love with my best friend, Kagome Higurashi.

This is my story...and it all began on the last day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the end of our middle school lives and were moving up, we were going to be in high school. In middle school we were on top, 3rd years...while now in high school we were starting out fresh, as 1st years. Sure it was a definite change of atmosphere, and rolls but it was comfortable knowing we were accompanied by others in our age group.

I, Sesshomaru Taisho, was known as an insane silent outcast from my younger years of schooling. This was because if you angered, pestered, or even bothered to do anything toward me enough, I would react like I was seconds away from killing you, personally. Many have forgotten at this point mainly because my one true friend. She is an exact opposite of my person.

While I portray myself with an iron mask, showing absolutely no emotion, cold glares, and a monotone expression. She showed her being the way she was. Everything she did brought some sort of excitement into the air. Even her smile could make hundreds fawn over her, and smile right back, even my person; though I would never show it the the presence of others I always made my effort to do it for her just to hear her exclaim:

"You smiled; YAY! See, I told you it made you look better Sesshou-kun!"

It amused me to no end to see her compliment my person. Her favorite topic was my hair, she loved the way it shined, and how it flowed down my back like a perfect flurry of snow. Thats what she called it. Yet, she had no idea how much I went out of my way to get it just like that, just so she could smile. She only called me by that name when it was just the two of us, she knew I like formality, so she used 'sama' properly, just for me she said.

I don't know for sure what it was that made me fall in love with her, was it her smile that brought out her dimples, her laughter that rang like a soft melody in my ears, or was it her dazzling eyes?

Whatever it was, I was drawn to her since day one, yet then I merely believed it to be my desire for a companion. While deep somewhere in my iced-heart, it was the desire to have her to myself, and for no one else to take her from me.

She stood at a small 5' 4" compared to my towering 6' 1"; yet I had no problem to lower my head just to gaze into her eyes when she spoke to me. She was truly something to marvel at, she lived each day following her heart; she saw life for what she already had: 'A glass half-full; not a glass half-empty.'

Through what she believed was right, never trying to be something she wasn't only being what she was:

Kagome.
