Chapter One

"Yo! Half-breed!" called out a wolf youkai.

Meet Inuyasha Takahashi. Inu-Hanyou, his mother, Izayoi, was a human. And his father, Inutashio, was full demon, an Inu-Youkai. He attends Shikon High, current junior, and does not speak to anyone.

Inuyasha groaned. 'Kouga Ookami… kuso'

Kouga Ookami is one of the most popular guys in school. A full-fledged wolf-youkai, with piercing blue eyes and long dark brown hair that he always favored pull high upon his head. He has a muscular build, a tight dark green t-shirt showed every curvy muscle along his chest and shoulders, paired with some faded blue jeans and black adidas. This wolf demon happens to be one of Inuyasha's worst enemies, out of all the students who bullied him on a daily basis; he had to be the worst.

Kouga walked up to the half-breed, Ayame, his current girlfriend and also a full –fledged wolf-demon, hanging on his arm. Ayame had long, wavy, fiery red hair that fell to her knees and enchanting green eyes. The pink tank top she wore showed off every curve of her upper body. She also wore a pair of dark blue, hip-hugger caprice matched with pink flip flops. Kouga stood in front of Inuyasha, light blue eyes glaring into amber. Inuyasha glared back at this wolf demon, claws digging into the school books he was holding.

"Still attending school I see. Ha! Looks like you comprehended absolutely nothing from last year." Kouga growled. Inuyasha only continued to glare at the wolf.

'I won't go back on my promise.' He thought.

"Well, have it your way. But heed my word half-breed the longer you stay alive, the worse things will get for you." Kouga shook Ayame off him and cocked back his arm, only to swing it forward, full force, to crack Inuyasha across the face. Inuyasha stumbled back but wasn't knocked down. He glared back toward Kouga and used the back of his hand to wipe the blood that had dripped down from the corner of his mouth. Inuyasha watched as Kouga and his friends howled in laughter and walked past him into the school.

'Bastard.' Inuyasha straightened himself out and soon entered the school himself. Completely unaware of a pair of worried sapphire blue eyes that had witnessed the whole scene.

'Let's see, first period… ah Trigonometry.' Inuyasha walked up to his locker. It was the same one he had last year. He doubted he'd ever get a new one. The locker was littered with papers plastered to the cool metal. Vulgar words and insults covered the sheets of paper, falling on deaf ears now. He no longer read what was written on them, already knowing what each one was going to tell him. Inuyasha growled to himself as painful memories of the past years flooded his mind and he ripped open his locker, shoving useless items inside. As he slammed the locker shut Inuyasha's ears perked up to hear his name being called over the intercom.

"Will Inuyasha Takahashi please report to the principal's office! Inuyasha Takahashi to the principal's office please!"

Inuyasha groaned.

'What have I done now.' He spun on his heels and began to drag himself toward the principal's office.

Inuyasha arrived to where he was recently called and slowly knocked on the door softly. Ms. Kaede Yamazaki answered and greeted him.

"Ah, Takahashi-san, please do come in. Ye are not in trouble." Inuyasha let out a breath he hadn't known he had been holding.

'If I'm not in trouble for anything then why am I here?' Inuyasha walked into the principal's office and immediately was hit with a familiar scent he could not quite place his finger on. As Kaede shut the door behind him, Inuyasha took note to the other body present in the room. A human female, she was sitting in one of the chairs placed in front of Kaede's desk and currently not facing him. Inuyasha could smell the faintest hint of fear coming off her.

"Inuyasha I called ye here because we have a new student joining us this year." Inuyasha let out an annoyed breath.

'Does she expect me to escort this wench around? Damned old hag she KNOWS what my reputation is like around here! The damned wench will only come to hate me like the rest of them, she's already fucking scared of me! Is the old hag TRYING to make my life worse!'

"Higurashi-san please stand up and introduce ye to the young man. Please do excuse her she's slightly frightened being in a new place and all." Kaede directed.

'Oh… that would explain why I smell fear coming off her them… Keh! Whatever… soon enough the wench will start acting like the rest of the pathetic humans in this place.'

The girl stood up slowly turned around and shyly smiled at Inuyasha.

"Kon-nichiwa Takahashi-san, my name is Higurashi, Kagome, Hajimemashite." The girl bowed politely and Inuyasha's eyes widened.

'Kagome? Kagome Higurashi?? Oh no… oh no, no, no she can't be…'

"Higurashi-san, Takahashi-san will be ye escort for ye first week here at Shikon High, just until ye are accustomed and comfortable with where ye are going. Understood Takahashi-san?" Kaede gestured to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha, suddenly realizing someone was speaking to him, wiped the dumbfound look from his face and fervently nodded.

'Is it really her? If so why does she not recognize me… damned wench.' A scowl appeared on the hanyou's face.

"I-If you don't mind me asking Takahashi-san, wh-what's your first name?" Kagome asked shyly. Inuyasha averted his eyes from the girl and did not answer.

'It can't be her. The damned wench doesn't even know my name. MY Kagome would never have forgotten…'

"Excuse him dear, but Takahashi-san here is a mute…"

'Kuso! Old hag what are you trying to do to me! Great here coming the scream… FREAK!'

"H-he is?! Oh my! Gomen nasai Takahashi-san, I-I didn't know!" Kagome bowed before him again. Inuyasha directed his gaze back toward the new girl and raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

'Sh-She's apologizing to me? Where's the screams, the insults, the beating? Why wasn't she screaming at me to go away? What is with this girl??' Inuyasha shifted his feet uncomfortably. He wasn't used to this type of situation, ESPECIALLY one where someone was apologizing… to him. Inuyasha nodded at the girl, his way of saying she was forgiven and not to worry about it. Kagome in stood straight up and smiled shyly at him causing the hanyou to blush lightly.

Kaede smiled warmly at the exchange between the two teens.

'Finally, this girl may be the key to save Inuyasha's soul and warm his heart once again.' "Higurashi-san, this young man's first name is Inuyasha, to answer ye question from earlier. Here is ye schedule. Takahashi-san please show this young woman to her locker please. And here is ye excuse for being late for ye first class." Inuyasha accepted the note from Kaede and bowed, then gestured Kagome to follow him as he walked out of the office. Kagome scrambled here things together and bowed to Kaede.

"Arigatou gozaimasu, Yamazaki-san." And she hurried off, following Inuyasha.

Kagome finally caught up to Inuyasha and fell in step beside him. Kagome finally decided to get a good look at the guy considering she was too shy to in the principal's office with his gaze locked on her. The first thing she noticed was the adorable ears that sat on the top of his head and she couldn't help the wild smile that spread across her face.

'He's a demon? Oh my gosh they are so kawaii!!' She had the sudden urge to touch them, and reached her hand up to do so.

'Oh! W-What am I doing?! I just met the guy he wouldn't want me touching him!' She retracted her hand quickly and blushed madly, hoping he hadn't noticed. She continued with her observation of him. He had long silver hair that fell below his bottom, and already knew from their encounter in the principal's office that he had gorgeous amber eyes. He wore a simple winked red t-shirt with a pair of baggy blue jeans that had a hole in one of the knees and a pair of blank, worn out sneakers. He looked muscular. He wasn't muscular to the point where they seemed oversized, veins popping out, no he muscles looked just perfect to her, showing that he was a wimp but he wasn't huge either.

'To be honest the guys with enormous muscles gross me out.' She made a face, and laughed softly to herself earning the hanyou's attention walking beside her. Kagome looked into his amber eyes and blushed and quickly directing her gaze toward the ground.

Her eyes then softened and saddened.

'He's the one I saw outside this morning… the one who was hit by that wolf youkai… why did he hit him? It's not like the guy could have said anything offensive to the wolf…'

Inuyasha gave the girl walking next to him a weird look.

'What is she laughing about? She's probably coming up with some plot against me…' he growled softly.

'She'll be just like everyone else. The incident in the old hag's office was just a fake front she must have put on to please the old hag.' He finally approached her locker and stopped pointing to it.

"Is this my locker?" She asked and he nodded. Kagome the proceeded to read the combination that had been written down for her and unlocked her locker, placing her things inside. Inuyasha leaned his back against the lockers beside hers, kicking up his left leg to rest his foot against them as well and crossing his arms over his chest. Inuyasha decided then to look over the girl beside him. She had long raven locks that cascaded down to the middle of her back, and as he previously observed she had stunning, sapphire blue eyes, she had hardly any make-up on, just some simple mascara and a touch of light brown eye shadow, a very natural look. He preferred it that way; make-up would only cover up her flawless features. She wore a simple black, ruffled skirt that came down to her mid upper thigh, she also wore a baby blue v-neck cap-sleeved shirt. The v-neck didn't come down too low like some of the girls at the school wore; it barely showed off any of her cleavage. Inuyasha blushed.

'Be respectful! Not like she'd ever look at you like that!' Inuyasha then quickly averted his gaze to her feet to see she sported some black flip flops as well. (I love flip flops!! Hehe ^.^) He heard her shut her locker and looked up into her eyes again. She was once again smiling at him.

'Not only is this girl beautiful, but her smile is gorgeous… she reminds me so much of her…' Inuyasha blushed again and diverted his gaze away from her. 'Ah! What am I thinking?!' Inuyasha growled softly again.

"Erm… Takahashi-san? I'm uh… I'm finished… we can head to class now." Inuyasha nodded and snatched her schedule from her.

"Hey!" Inuyasha waved her off with his hand as he observed her classes and suddenly groaned looking back at the girl standing beside him who was glaring at him and pouting, her arms crossed over her chest.

'She has ALL of her classes with me…' he groaned again as her observed her expression. 'She looks cute like that.' He then mentally slapped himself. 'No… NO! Quit thinking like that! Do NOT allow yourself to get close to this wench! She will only turn on you and treat you like everyone else does!' Inuyasha then spun on his heels once again and stormed off toward his first period class.

"H-Hey!! Wait up!!" Kagome called, running after him again.

Inuyasha walked into his first period class only to be greeted with an angry teacher.

"Excuse me but what is your name, and why are you late for my class?" Asked the angry teacher. Inuyasha then shoved the note from Kaede in his face, the teacher grabbed the note from him and Inuyasha proceeded to take his seat in the back of the class, ignoring the hateful glares from the rest of the students.

"Very well Takahashi-san but where is the young women you are…" Just then Kagome decided to enter the classroom.

'Inuyasha is in my class I assume? He did come in here right?' Kagome then caught the silver haired hanyou sitting at the back of the class and glared at him.

'Baka! Leaving me to run after him! He knows I don't know how to get around!'

"You must be our new student." The teacher chimed me. Kagome jumped slightly, suddenly being drawn out of her previous thoughts.

"U-uh hai! Gomen nasai for being late…"

"I am your Trigonometry teacher Iwate, Myoga." Kagome bowed.

"Hajimemashite Iwate-sensei."

"Please introduce yourself to the class miss." Kagome turned toward the class and blushed, she always hated when teachers did this.

"Kon-nichiwa everyone, my name is Higurashi, Kagome and I recently transferred here from Okinawa." Kagome smiled and bowed to the class and whispers began.

"Please have a seat Higurashi-san." The teacher instructed.

Inuyasha heard the whispers and also heard the thoughts coming from the other students. She was already hot commodity, the boys lusted for her, and a lot of the girls admired her beauty, while the rest were purely jealous. Although he was reading the other students thoughts about Kagome, he couldn't help but wonder what Kagome was thinking at the moment. He pondered dipping into her mind to find out.

'No you baka! Show this girl some respect and do not invade her personal space! She deserves that much for hanging around you for this long without causing a scene!' He then heard the teacher instruct Kagome to take her seat and he looked to where she had been when she introduced herself to the class to find she was no longer there. A confused look briefly spread across Inuyasha's face when he suddenly smelled that familiar scent of vanilla and strawberries close to him, then heard a seat being pushed back. Inuyasha whirled his head around to his left to see Kagome taking a seat next to him.

'Me! Why is she sitting next to me!' She smiled a warm smile at him as she continued to pull out a notebook from her bag. Inuyasha groaned softly and sunk back in his seat directing his attention to the front of the class again as a new wave of whispers hit his ears.

'She sat with him?! What's wrong with her??'

'Does she not realize he's a half-breed!'

'He's probably corrupted the poor girl.'

Inuyasha growled as the comments proceeded to get worse. The students' thoughts flooding his head, on top of the whispers going around were starting to give him a headache, so he tuned them out.

'How DARE they talk about Kagome like that! What has she done to them?! I deserve this treatment, but not her! Damn them… after this week is over I will have to put as much distance between Kagome and I as possible. I can't have these bastards continue to talk about her like this… she WILL NOT be subjected to the treatment they give me!' Inuyasha was brought from his thoughts when a folded piece of paper landed on his desk. Inuyasha looked at the paper and suddenly cringed. Usually when he received notes like this they were not worth opening.

"Takahashi-san?" he heard Kagome whisper. He looked over at her and saw the worried look in her eyes. He shook his head at her, and then realized that the note was from her, the note emitting her scent. He signed, still slightly afraid of what the note might hold, slowly her open up the folded piece of paper.

'Are you alright?' Inuyasha again let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. She must have seen the strange expressions crossing his face when he was lost in his thoughts.

'She's worried about me?' He shook off the thought and scribbled back on the paper tossing it back on her desk.

'Keh, I'm fine don't worry about me.' He wrote and then he saw relief wash over her features.

'What is it with this wench? Why does she even care?' He watched her scribble on the paper again and toss it back onto his desk. He tossed her a look; she simply smiled back at him. Opening the note again he read:

'Okay then! Hey Takahashi-san would you like to eat lunch with me? I really don't want to eat by myself.' His eyes widened. NO ONE ate lunch with him, in fact he didn't even eat in the cafeteria, in order to steer clear of all the students death glares and avoid getting beaten up. He glanced at her, a worried look crossed his features and let out another breath.

'Here goes nothing… she'll probably reject me as soon as she finds out where I eat…'

'First off, quit calling me Takahashi-san I feel like I'm an old man when you call me that. Inuyasha is fine. Secondly, I don't eat in the cafeteria, if you're… if you're up for a change in scenery then… sure… I guess…' Inuyasha watched her anxiously.

'Damn what is this wench doing to me! Why am I so anxious?!' He saw Kagome's features light up and a smile spread across her face. His heart swelled at the sight as she scribbled something again on the paper. The note once again landed back on his desk.

'Thank you Inuyasha! And don't worry I'm not one to eat in the cafeteria either =)' Inuyasha let a small smile appear on his face.

'Maybe this wench aint so bad… maybe she won't be like everyone else…' he thought for a moment. He looked over at her again, he didn't see, nor did he smell any traces of deceitfulness coming from her. That's when another note landed on his desk; this one was not from Kagome. And he could already smell the hateful stench radiating from it. He growled crumpling up the piece of paper, without even reading what was inside and violently threw it on the ground. Kagome watched this happen and gave him a questionable look that he didn't acknowledge. She watched him slump back down into his seat and proceeded to pick up the crumpled piece of paper he tossed onto the ground without him noticing. She glanced over at Inuyasha again to make sure he still wasn't looking and slowly opened up the crumpled up paper.

'I don't know what you are trying to pull HALF-BREED but ya better back off from the girl! She will turn on you soon enough once she finds out what you truly are. You are scum! You should have never been born! You DON'T belong!' Kagome's eyes widened and teams brimmed in her eyes. Who could be so cruel? What had he ever done to deserve such cruel words?

'Half-breed? So he's half demon? Is that why he was hit this morning? Is that the reason behind the cruelty of this letter?' Anger suddenly washed over Kagome and she noticed the teacher excuse himself from the classroom for a moment. Kagome slammed her hands on her desk causing the students sitting near her to jump including Inuyasha. She then got up from her seat and stormed up to the front of the classroom.

Inuyasha watched Kagome, suddenly smelling the tears and anger coming from her. He watched as she rose a piece of paper over her head and his eyes widened when he realized that it was the note he had crumpled up and thrown on the floor. Then she spoke.

"You cruel heartless bastards, I want to know WHO wrote this note!" Kagome growled, she was speaking in a low voice that even made the full fledged youkai's in the classroom cower in fear. Tears welded in her eyes, Inuyasha could smell them as they threaten to spill, but she refused to let them go. Inuyasha gaped even more, Kagome did not seem like the type to sware.

'Wh-What does she think she is doing?' Was she standing up for him? She then began to slowly tear apart the worthless sheet of paper.

"How dare you speak such vulgar words to a man you hardly even know." She said as she finished tearing apart the paper. She threw the shreds into the garbage and stormed back to hear seat next to Inuyasha. The teacher had walked back into the classroom as Kagome was heading back to her seat.

"Higurashi-san, may I ask why were you out of your seat?"

"Gomen nasai Iwate-sensei, just throwing away something stupid and useless.' She replied coldly. The teacher gave her an odd expression but continued on with his lecture.

Inuyasha stared at Kagome in amazement. She turned to him and gave him a bright smile, and then he heard the thoughts coming from the students again causing him to growl, the students didn't even bother to whisper to one another what was on their mind this time.

'Stupid wench! Does she want to be hated by everyone?!' Inuyasha took out the note they were previously writing on and scribbled on it again.

'What the fuck do you think you're doing wench! Do you WANT to be hated by everyone in the school?!' Kagome read the note and a perplexed look crossed her face as she scribbled something back.

'I was defending you Inuyasha! NO ONE deserves to be treated that way!' He growled again.

'You don't get it do you! I DO deserve it! I'm a half-breed you wench!' She threw him an angry look as she scribbled a reply once again. The look made him shrink back into his seat.

'Don't you DARE let me hear you speak that name ever again Inuyasha Takahashi! You are a HAYNOU born of a brave demon and strong human! And NO you DO NOT deserve that kind of treatment just because you are a hanyou! Especially when you haven't even done anything wrong!' There was a pause in the note. "Inuyasha how long has this been going on exactly… does everyone treat you this way?' Inuyasha looked up from the note at Kagome. Blank expression on his face but she could read his eyes. They told her everything even though he didn't reply to her note.

'Oh Inuyasha…' Then the bell rang, causing her to jump. All the students rushed out of the classroom as Kagome packed her things and Inuyasha patiently waited for her, but refused to look at her again. She sighed sadly and followed him to their next class.

'I promise Inuyasha, to stand by your side. I won't be like everyone else. And I will try my hardest to stop all this painful torture that you do not deserve.'

Inuyasha glanced at Kagome. 'What was with that outburst in the classroom… what happened to the shy girl I met in the old hag's office?? Why… Why is she defending me…'
