Disclaimer/Author Note: We all know I don't own Inuyasha, would be nice though.. I decided to rewrite and seperate into Chapters, since this is more then a little one-shot it was. My characters will be OCC.. want more towards the Anime/Manga please don't read.

It was a rainy morning and Kagome was running late of all days, and what made it worse was she lost her footing on the front steps and fell. Papers, and books went everywhere, when she finally got up she was trying to pick up her things when a tall boy comes over and started helping. She didn't understand who or why this person choose to help her in the rain.

Sesshomaru was late, something he never was. Driving as fast has he could, he finally made it.

Grabbing his items and running to the stairs, he saw a girl, trying very hard to gather her dropped things.

"Are you ok? You better hurry inside before you catch a cold." Sesshomaru asked handing her the last book.

Kagome took the book and replied " Yes, thank you so much for helping."

Sesshomaru looked her over a little and noticed she was human, a good looking human at that. Kagome saw and started blushing.

"What happened anyway? All I saw was you in the rain trying to gather your things." He asked giving her his jacket.

Taking his jacket she answered " Mmm, thank you. I was trying to hurry cause I was late, lost my footing then my stuff flew all over the place."

While she was telling him what happened he noticed her lips being blue and shivering.

"We better get you to the nurse." he said taking her hand.

Kagome's eyes grew big, she noticed he was demon when he handed her his jacket. He saw this, but ignored it.

Thank you for the help, but I think I better just head to class. I am aleady late as is." Kagome said snatching her hand away.

"If that is what you want, but I believe you should go before lunch. Sesshomaru said before walking the opposite direction.

With her clothes still wet, wearing his jacket, she went to her first class. After making through no problem, she knew the others would be a fine. Til she got to Calculus, she started coughing and sneezing before she got to take her seat. That's when she decided to see the nurse.

After the nurse finished her examination she said " Miss Higurashi, you have the flu. You should have came to me sooner."

"Since that wasn't possible, I am going to give you some medicine and a note so you can go home at once. Take one teaspoon every four hours, drink plenty of fluids and get some rest." The nurse finished handing her both items.

Taking the items, Kagome thought to herself  'Dang it, why didn't I listen to that guy when he told me to go, that's right.. I got scared.'

She was walking back to class to give the professor the note and she hit somone. She looked and came face to chest with the same guy from earlier.

Realizing who it was, he asked " Well, nice to run into you again, are you feeling better?"

"I got the flu and was sent home." she replied holding back a sneeze.

Motioning for her to continue, he asked

"I see, I did try to take you to the nurse, but you left. May I ask why?" walking beside her.

Holding her head down, she replied " I got scared. I noticed you being a demon when you handed me your jacket. I am sorry, I don't know what came over me."

Seeing her almost in tears, he took his finger, placing it under her chin and said "I will not hurt you. I should be the one to apologize for scaring you."

Looking into his eyes, almost made her forget she still wore his jacket.

" Here is your jacket back." she said while taking it off and handing it to him.

Not taking it from her hand, he replied " You need it more at the moment."

Bowing she said "Thank you. I am Higurashi Kagome, please to meet you."

Bowing also he answers " Your Welcome, and I am Intushi Sesshomaru."

Once they reached the class, Sesshomaru began thinking of a way to ask he if could take her home. Once she finished with her professor he decided to make his move.

"Would you like a ride home?" he asked

Blushing at his forwardness she replied " I would like that."

On the drive to her home, they talked. She talked about how her mother wants her to the best at everything and doesn't spend much time with her. He told her about his parents death and how he has lived on his own for a long time. They finally reached the house. Before letting her exit Sesshomaru asked her

" Is it ok, if I pick you up in the morning? That way you won't have another incident."

"That would be really nice, thank you." she replied

He waved goodbye once she reached the door and drove back to school.

She didn't even get on the door good, when she heard her mother ask

"Who brought you home?"

"A friend from school." she replied knowing she couldn't say more cause her mother disapproved of the demon and human mixed in together.

Knowing she saw something more she asked again " Was that a demon boy that dropped you off?"

"Yes, he isn't like anything you told me. He was sweet and he even lended me his jacket." she answered again going up the stairs.

"His jacket! Kagome, I can't believe you brought that into my house. I want it removed at once." she screamed at her daughter.

Screaming back "I will not! Unlike you, who would rather go to parties and spend time with your rich friends, then your own daughter."

"Fine, but I better not see it laying about." her mother said walking to the kitchen.

Watching her mother depart, she couldn't figure out why her mother hated humans. Far as she knew they did nothing to the family.
