Forever Loved: Broken Family

Eleven

Kagome blinked, before she gave a small smile, "Well, it wasn't meant to be that way. Isabella just has a way of pushing the right buttons."

She shifted her weight as she tried to figure out what he was, she felt the same type of creature before when she was in Spain...and the eyes too...Kagome just couldn't put her finger on it.

"That is understandable" He flashed his teeth at her, eyes looking into her own blue ones, "Family is able to do that to one another."

Kagome laughed lightly, "That is very true." She paused, before standing up straight and holding her hand out to him, "My name is Kagome Higurashi, though I am guessing you already knew this fact."

His lip twitched at this as he tipped his head in acknowledgment before taking her hand, but he didn't shake it like she was expecting him too. No...instead he took her hand and leaned down and kissed her knuckles, "Jasper Hale at your service, ma'am."

Kagome bit her lip, a small smile creeping on her face once he let go of her hand, "Now what can I do for you. I don't think you followed me just to make small talk with me."

Jasper's lip twitched, "No Ma'am, I thought I would offer to show you around. I had a feeling you might like someone to talk to who wasn't friends with your cousin."

Kagome looked in in the eye, to see if she could detect any lies. She didn't know much about the Cullen family, all she knew was Isabella dated the youngest one, Edward Cullen. She didn't know much else about the family.

She didn't want to get into any drama with her cousin, but she also felt drawn to this Jasper. Something about him...she just didn't know what.

"I guess that would be fine..." She didn't want to be rude, besides she didn't know where her next class was and it was better than asking someone randomly in the hall...which she had been doing since the start of the day.

Kagome gave a soft laugh as Jasper offered his arm to her, "Ever the gentlemen." She saw the spark of mischief in his eyes

"Always." He gave her a grin as he leads her down the hall. He pointed out what classroom was what, and what clubs also met up in some of the rooms.

Kagome didn't know why he was being so nice to her but she wasn't complaining. It was nice to be treated normal. Something she didn't get very often.

It felt nice.

As they finished the tour she thought she would ask him why he really wanted to show her around, "Why did you really want to show me around?"

Jasper blinked at this, "Do I need a reason to show a beautiful girl around?" Kagome shook her head at his answer, he was a smooth talker that was for sure.

"...No...but everyone has a motivation for everything they do...I don't know what you want from me," She paused as the two came to a stop so she could look at him in the eyes, "I know you want something, though I haven't figured out what it is."

Jasper gave a sigh, he didn't think she would be this perceptive. He would giver her that, she watched her surroundings and made sure she knew why they wanted to be around her. She was guarded.

Something must have happened for her to be so guarded.

"You intriguing me...isn't that enough?" Jasper asked, leaning down close so his nose was almost touching hers.

Kagome opened her mouth to say something but the bell rang cutting off what she was going to say. With a sigh, Jasper stood up straight and gave Kagome a small smile, "Would you like an escort to class?"

Kagome gave a small nod, "I have Spanish next..." though she would rather be taking a different language. She would have to see about switching after school.

Jasper frowned, "You don't like Spanish?" He could detect the detest in her voice.

Kagome shook her head, "No, I already know the language...I rather not take a class to learn it when I have the knowledge already."

Jasper nodded, "That is understandable...though" He flashed her a smile as he leads her down the hall, "I wouldn't mind being in your class.This way I would have someone besides my sister to talk to."

Kagome laughed, though she was definitely considering staying in the class...just so she could get to know him more.
