Mid-August
Glancing at her watch, Kagome slid her tram card, waiting on her receipt.
Another ordinary day.
Another ordinary night.
And another train ride home.
Kagome shifted through the mingling people along the platform, waiting for her customary transportation. A hand on her elbow pulled her quickly from his musings as she turned to the sound of her name on someone’s lips.
“Kagome?”
She stared up into dark violet eyes, her blank face slowly transforming into a blooming smile, “Inuyasha.”
He gave her a lopsided grin and nodded, letting go of her elbow as he shoved his hands back into his pants pockets, “You usually take the eleven o’clock train from the city?”
Kagome nodded, hesitantly brushing her hair behind her ear, enjoying the way Inuyasha followed her hand with his attentive gaze, “I do. I tend to work later than my co-workers.”
“What is it you do for a living?” he asked.
“I’m a real estate agent,” she gave a tiny laugh and shrugged at his reaction, “What? It’s a good job and I like it.”
Laughing, Inuyasha shook his head, “Don’t you get paid only by commission?”
“Depends,” she smiled.
The ease in which she could have a conversation with a man she had only met on one other occasion astounded her. She found herself getting lost in the way he spoke, watching his face for those small micro-expressions of enjoyment in her company and in the fluid way he talked with his hands. Kagome smiled as the conductor came over the intercom to announce the trains arrival time, in the distance the horn sounded.
“Hey, what do you say to sharing a seat together?” Inuyasha asked, meeting her gaze with his deep violet eyes.
Kagome gently tugged at her bottom lip with her teeth before she nodded, “Of course, sounds good.”
“Good.”
