Here's to the beginning of a new Inuyasha Fanfiction. I'm Janeak47 and I hope you love this story as much as I do writing it. You're welcome to review and give ideas, I'd love to here from you, but anyway, here we go! Chapter 1! (Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'll go back through later!)

Chapter 1

"You did what!"

"I ignored him."

"You ignored the nephew of the most powerful demon in the city?!"

Kagome turned on her mother, angry that this was even a problem. "Of course I did!" Her mother shook her head with disdain, but Kagome could see the worry stained on her mother's face. "What's wrong with that?"

"You can't just ignore him, Kagome."

"What right does he have to my attention?"

"Every right!"

"Yeah, if I was afraid of him, and I'm not." She turned to go up to her room but her mother grabbed her arm.

When Kagome looked back into her mother's eyes to tell her to let go, she froze. She had never seen her mother so...aggravated...so delirious with fear. "Talk to him. Don't you know the consequences don't just affect you, but me, your grandfather and your little brother? Just think of what happened to Kikyo…" she sighed, trying to calm down, "just...please...do this one thing...don't ignore him."

Kagome had never seen her mother so frightened, so she nodded automatically, wanting to console her. Before she could even attempt an apology, her mother had let her go and went to clean up the kitchen.

Up in her room, Kagome thought about the last three years; It felt like everything had happened yesterday. Before she had moved to Tokyo, she had been messaging her cousin Kikyo for all the juicy details about the city and it's resident demons. They IMed back and forth, and soon Kagome learned that Kikyo had a boyfriend by the name of Inuyasha. Kikyo sent her pictures of him and said how he was part of this cool organisation that helped protect the city; he was a sweet half demon and she was really happy with him.

Kagome was so excited to meet him, as her mother was moving her family there next fall. Upon arriving though, that's when they got the bad news - a policeman showed up at their new house, and said that Kikyo and her parents had been murdered. It was assumed to be the crime lord Naraku's doing as he had access to the city's guns for hire. Kagome figured out later that that must have been the organisation Kikyo was talking about.

Kikyo's house was emptied, and all its property was brought to Kagome's house. While routing through a couple of Kikyo's belongings she recognised, she came across the diary. In it were entries that disturbed and angered Kagome, and made her hate Inuyasha's whole family. It turned out that there was more to the murder that the police didn't know.

In the diary, Kikyo talked about her dealings with the crime lord Naraku, and how he had corrupted her relationship with Inuyasha by asking her to hurt him by staying away. He threatened to hurt her family if she didn't and proved he had the power to do it, so she felt she had no choice. She watched Inuyasha become more and more angry with her and it broke her heart to stay away from him and not tell him the true reason why.

Naraku told Kikyo that Inuyasha was his heir, and he wanted his nephews to be isolated so that all they cared about was taking up the family "business" he was in when they were old enough. He was planning to do the same to Sesshomaru and his girlfriend Rin when he was finished sorting out Inuyasha's little romance with her.

It angered Kagome that her cousin didn't go to the police, and ended up getting killed anyway. Kagome decided that demons, even half demons, were never to be trusted, and her fiery hate for Naraku and his family burned bright in her as she started at the new school. Everytime she saw Inuyasha, it was like a permanent reminder about who they were and what they could do.

So of course she ignored him. He had no right trying to talk to her in the first place. She was still new at school and he was in her Algebra class. She was freaking out about a problem, and he had been issued by the teacher to help her out. Despite the complete algebra freak out, she rejected his help and instead asked the guy next to her, Hojo, for his advice. That had gotten her a few surprised and worried looks from the rest of the class but she didn't care about what they thought either. It was only her mother who really got to her.

So that's what had Kagome lying in her bedroom thinking about what she should do if he tried to talk to her again. She'd always been rebellious, every since she first became a teenager. Her mother had told her she had beautiful hair and that she should never change it; not necessarily a command, but first chance she got, she shaved the left side of it, highlighted the right side dark blue and cut away her bangs. When she was old enough to get a license, Kagome went for a motorcycle, and when her mother asked why she came out to her family about her closeted motorcycle obsession. Bully's, fighting, human rights movements, anything that caught her eye was an opportunity for her to rebel. It wasn't always bad, but she just needed a reason to be "alternative", and Inuyasha's family was her new reason. She usually never disappointed her mother…

Until today. She genuinely had never seen her mother so petrified or disappointed by something her daughter had done. So for once she decided to listen to someone. She wouldn't ignore Inuyasha if he tried to speak to her, but she wouldn't necessarily seek him out either; any conversation would be kept at a minimum. She still hated him and his family after all, her mother didn't say she had to hide that.

The next morning, she dressed in her ripped jeans and tick box "human" t-shirt and went downstairs to have breakfast with her family. Her mother looked tired, and as she set out the pancakes, her hands were shaking.

After Kikyo's death, Kagome's mother had been having terrible insomnia, worried for her family and her daughter. Kagome must have triggered it again from her outburst last night. As her mother sat down, she took her hand and smiled.

"It'll be ok. I won't intentionally cause trouble, I promise,"

That helped to calm her mother, and it was visible in how she relaxed her shoulders and her hands didn't tremble as much. After breakfast, Kagome grabbed her backpack and keys from the counter and headed out the door. Revving the engine on her Ducati Monster 696 motorcycle and headed to school.

Pulling into her parking spot, she watched as Inuyasha and his brother Sesshomaru pulled in to their reserved spot in a bumblebee looking Camaro. Their silver hair flowed behind them as they pulled in, and she watched as a group of girls swooned. Idiots, she thought to herself as she dismounted and started to walk to class.

Algebra arrived way too early, and to her dismay the teacher was putting everyone in teams to do a race of problems for some prize or something, but it also served as a quiz that they would be graded on. Surprise Surprise, the teacher placed Inuyasha and Kagome together.

"Hey." he smiled slightly, moving a chair closer to her desk. Good, he's cautious. She succeeded in hiding a small smile at this. "You don't mind that we've been placed together do you? I'm sure if you complain loud enough to the teacher, she'll place you with Hojo over there."

There was a particular problem that was giving her trouble, and she really needed help with it, so she focused on that as she wasn't ready to talk to the half demon yet. In her peripheral vision she saw his little ears twitch downwards.

"Question 1 is a bit of a dick isn't it." he mused aloud.

"Yeah." she answered without realising.

"One word! What an achievement!" She glared at him and also noticed that he was already on question 4.

"Did you really just use pretending to fail at algebra to talk to me?"

"14 words, a whole sentence, wow! My plan really worked out didn't it." She noticed as he smiled, he had small dimples in his cheeks. "Do you want any help...insert name here?"

"Kagome." she deadpanned.

"And we have a name. I'm-"

"I know exactly who you are." she hissed, going back to her math problem. "Nobody important that's who."

"...Inuyasha. I can't help sensing some hostility here?"

"Damn right there is." At her harsh words, he had the audacity to look confused.

"Did I offend you in some way? I know you're new here...I've seen you around but I can't recall speaking to you before…"

She slammed her pencil on on the desk, gaining attention from the rest of the class. "How can you say that when you knew Kikyo." His face fell when he heard the name. "That's right. She was my cousin, and I know exactly what you and your murderous family of gangsters did to her! So don't pretend to be all nice and cheery when my cousin and her family were killed because of you." She stormed out of the room and didn't look back.

God mom is going to kill me for saying all that.

After school, she was in no hurry to get home, so she sat on her motorcycle for a little while, but as soon as she revved the engine to leave, a car pulled in front of her spot blocking the exit.

"What the fuck are you-" before she finished, she saw that it was the bumblebee Camaro. Inuyasha opened up the drivers side door and walked around to her. "Get out my way half-demon!"

"You think I had something to do with Kikyo's death?!" he shouted at her.

"It's the end of the day, you could have brought this up at any other time. Right now I want to go home, so MOVE!"

He ignored her shouting and placed both hands on her handlebars, "I cared about Kikyo more than anything! Why would I want her dead?!"

"I don't know, maybe because you're from the most notorious demon gang in the entire city with access to every gun for hire there is!"

"You think I'd kill a girl because she dumped me?! That just because I was raised by a crime lord it automatically makes me like him or any of those thug like demons!?"

"Of course! You wanted to get back at her for leaving you-"

"That's not what I wanted! I'm nothing like my Uncle!"

"...and she only left you because you're stupid Uncle was threatening her!"

He was silent when he realised she had said this, golden eyes in a permanent state of shock. "How do you know that?" he whispered.

"Because I'm her cousin, and I know what happened!" She pushed his hands away from the handlebars and revved the engine again. "Now let me out!"

He still wouldn't move and she couldn't bring herself to run him over when he looked so...upset. He had to have known...right? But maybe he hadn't.

"You look like her, now that I know the two of you are related." he said to her, completely off subject.

"Yeah...everyone says that..." she didn't know what else to say.

"I'll move now." He got back into his car and moved off outside the car park. As Kagome passed him with her bike, his frozen expression hadn't changed.
