*I do not own Inuyasha*

Backstory

After a demon is born they are taken to see an oracle. Once there the oracle looks into the child's soul to find who their soulmate is. The oracle then gives the child an enchanted script that reveals the name of their soulmate along with a countdown. The countdown reveals how much time will pass before they meet them. Inuyashas' different; since he's only a half demon his script doesn't reveal the name of his soulmate only the countdown until he meets her.

"Inuyasha!" yelled his mother behind his locked bedrom door. He had overslept again. Awoken by his mothers muffled words Inuyasha peered over his arm to glance at his clock. It read 7:10am.

"Shit! School starts in 20 minutes and I can't be late again!" And with that Inuyasha was dressed and out the door in 15 minutes while using his demon speed to cut his travel time in half.

"I made it," he thought, "with 30 seconds to spare." And with that he walked into his first class right as the late bell rung.

Inuyashas' day was filled with pointless lectures. He didn't really pay attention in any of his classes but as long as he showed up and managed to get by he couldn't be expelled. It was lunch time and as he was seamlessly weaving in and out of the cluster of students to get to his usual spot under the shade tree he couldn't help but notice the girl already there.

"Who are you?" he said with a small frown on his face as he approached the girl.

"What?" replied the girl, looking up to see who had disturbed her from her peaceful lunch.

"I said "who are yo..." Inuyasha trailed off as he looked down to get sucked into the ocean that were her eyes. "Shes so beautiful." He thought to himself as he came to a halt in front of her.

"My name is Kagome, but what's it to you, jerk? You don't have to be so rude." She tucked her long raven hair behind her ear.

"Feh," grumbled a flustered hanyou, "you're in my spot."

"You can sit if you'd like, but I'm not moving."

"Whatever." Inuyasha said under his breath. "She is beautiful. I don't mind sitting next to a beautiful girl like her, not that I'd let her know that." A soft blush began to keep on his face as he quickly shook his head to forget that thought.

"What's your name anyways?" Kagome looked over to the guy sitting to her left. "He's quite handsome. A real jerk but definitely eye candy." She looked over his features. A musclier body, strong jaw, piercing amber eyes, and.. "What are those? Dog ears? How adorable!"

Inuyasha could feel her eyes studying him, "The name's Inuyasha." He noticed her eyeing his ears. "Can I help you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I've just never seen a hanyou up close. I was home schooled up until, well this weekend. I didn't get out much."

"Feh." Was his only reply. He couldn't help but feel almost shy.

With that the bell rang for the end of lunch. "I really should get going to class now." Kagome said while gathering her things and standing. "Maybe I'll see you around."

"See ya." Inuyasha replied, trying to sound uninterested. He did have a girlfriend and all.

The rest of his day was relatively uneventful. He finished the last few classes of the day and was on his way home. It was about 2:45. He finally reached his house and decided to go straight up to his room. His curiosity got the best of him and he pulled out a small box from the back of his closet. Inside was a folded piece of paper. Opening it up, he glanced at his countdown. It had been about two months since he had last taken a look and he figured now was as good a time as any seeing it was the first time he had met anyone new in a while. The countdown read "-2 hours. 45 minutes."

"Fuck."
