A/N: Was going to write my essay, but instead found myself writing this beauty. I always wondered how a high school story would be if Kagome wasn't the popular/geek/sexy/perfect/slut one in school or InuYasha the hot/sexy pervert/wanted by all; self-centered guy type. I wrote this thinking of the original series. Humans are scared of him, they hate him, and they taunt him. Demons think he is weak and pathetic. He is an outcast. Kagome is his salvation. So yeah, I hope you all enjoy this!


Chapter 1: His Dog Ears


Kagome was just your average High school senior. She wasn't a cheerleader, popular in her school, nor was she smart or even considered gorgeous by the male population and she wasn't really involved in after-school activities. Kagome brushed her hair in front of the mirror with an empty stare in her eyes. Life was normal. She was happy, but there were moments in her life where she just wanted to isolate herself. Her life could feel so empty sometimes…

Kagome sat down at the breakfast table and smiled at her mother who placed a plate in front of her.

"Thanks, mom."

Souta, her brother, was happily eating away at the egg and bacon on his own plate. He noticed her tone of voice and looked up at her for a second, "Uh-oh, sis is depressed again."

Their mother smiled, "Now, Souta, aren't you going to finish your food?"

Souta drank his juice, "Just saying."

Kagome sighed as she ate silently, "Another year left."

Ms. Higurashi placed a gentle hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Oh, you'll get to see your friends, again. I bet you have a lot to tell them about your summer."

Kagome smiled at her mother. The smile was fake, but she didn't want to worry her mother. It wasn't her mother's fault that she felt this way. It was all about her hormones giving her these mood swings. There was really no good reason for her to be depressed.

Kagome walked to the entrance of the school with her yellow backpack. Not many students had bags, because the first day of school was the 'getting to know each other' day. Still, Kagome knew some teachers actually lectured on the first day, so she went prepared.

She was careful not to bump into a demon as she walked with her head hanging as she walked down the hallways. Funny thing. Demons, half-demons, and humans populated the 'human' civilization. It was okay. Demons weren't all that bad, as long as you kept on their good side.

Kagome sat down on the back seat of her homeroom near the window. Her chocolate brown eyes watched the world go by outside. That empty feeling still present inside her.

"What's wrong with me?"

Her thoughts were interrupted when some of her friends spotted her. They were her best friends to be exact, Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri. Yuma was the one that spoke, "Kagome! Here you are?"

Ayumi, "You have a different homeroom from us, bummer!"

Kagome was surprised, "You three have the same homeroom?"

"Yeah." Eri frowned, "But don't worry. We might share other classes together."

Kagome nodded, "I hope so. I missed you guys."

All four girls hugged, "We missed everyone."

Yuka had gone to visit family, Eri had been on a summer trip, and Ayumi left for a summer camp. Kagome had left to Japan to visit her grandpa. He was all the grandparents she had. Her mother's parents had passed away years ago and her father was gone too. Her father's father was all she had, besides her mother and younger brother.

"So how was japan?"

"It was okay. Grandpa showed me a lot of his antiques and stuff."

They chatted until the first warning bell rang and they had to leave to their own homeroom.

Kagome hadn't noticed that students had already sat down in the room. Her normal life resumed. Kagome liked walking home after school. Her mother wouldn't be home, she was called in for another shift and Souta was supposed to be already at home.

Kagome was walking through the park, "Short-cut."

She couldn't help but notice a boy sitting under a tree. He had silver hair and wore brand clothing, but that wasn't what made her stop to look. Sitting on top of his head were two triangle dog ears. Kagome walked over, entranced by the soft looking ears.

'He's asleep.' Kagome stood a foot away from him bending over to look at his face. His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady.

'I think I want to touch them.' Kagome placed her backpack down and kneeled beside him reaching over his head. She gently took the furry ears in her hands and gently with her fingers rubbed them. The softness was amazing and Kagome smiled to herself, 'How cute!'

One second she was giggling to herself and the next moment she was lying on her back with fingers curled around her neck. The razor sharp claws hurt as they slightly dug into her flesh and she cried out in pain and fear.

His grip slacked for a second, "Kikyou?"

Kagome grabbed at his hand and tried to pry it off, "No!" It came out rasped.

'I can't breathe! Someone, help me!'

His grip tightened again, "Who the hell are you?" His eyes burned hers with hatred and Kagome closed her chocolate eyes. "Let go." She was beginning to see black spots.

She suddenly blacked out and silently wished she wasn't going to die.

InuYasha released the girl from his death grip and stared at her with a glare, "Stupid human."

He stood up and looked around. There was no one. He stuck his nose up in the air and all traces of recent human scents were gone except for the raven haired girl on the grass.

"What you came alone?" His face scrunched up in confusion, "Don't you measly humans come in packs to ridicule?"

Her grabbed her hair and picked her up slightly and Kagome gave a slight moan of pain. "You're just stupid, I suppose."

He dropped her and stood up straight once more, "Better get home."

He began to walk off when Sesshomaru came up the path, "Do you intend to spend your school days, here."

InuYasha snorted, "What's it to you?"

Sesshomaru stared at his half-brother indifferently, "It really is foolish of you to behave like a child."

InuYasha posed a fighting stance, "Who the hell asked you?"

Sesshomaru looked behind InuYasha and spotted the human girl, "No crowd this time."

"Shut up."

Sesshomaru turned to leave, "Let's go, unless, you wish to continue dwelling here."

InuYasha unwillingly followed his older brother in silence with an annoyed expression.

Sometime later, Kagome came to and sat up in the grass. Her hands instantly covered her neck and she looked around in fear. No one was around. It was dark and her backpack was still lying on the grass nearby. Kagome trembled and slowly she found her feet and stood up. Her knees wanted to give in, but she kept a brave face and headed home with her stuff.

Souta ran up to meet her at the front door with a worried look, "Kagome your back!" He was thirteen and couldn't help but expect the worst when his older sister didn't show up.

Kagome gave him a smile and waved off his worried look, "I'm fine. Just got distracted."

Souta sighed in relief, until he saw the blood on her neck, "Kagome, your bleeding!"

By instinct she reached to her aching neck and terror struck her. That memory had been real. No matter how hard she had willed herself to think it had all been a nightmare.

Kagome made Souta swear that he wouldn't tell anyone about it. Not even their mother would know. She didn't explain anything to him, but he trusted her and kept quiet about it. Kagome managed to cover the bandages with her hair and a turtle neck sweater.

'It's not that bad. I'm going to be okay.'

Another day passed by and Kagome decided to skip the park this time. Kagome had managed to get over the shock and now she was determined to be more careful. She shouldn't have messed with a demon. She was lucky to be alive and well.

InuYasha was sitting in a tree when he saw her walking down the sidewalk. It was dark already. He glared at her, "You really are stupid!"

Kagome stopped at the sound of his voice. Was it a demon?

"You have a death wish don't you." InuYasha stood up on the tree branch and Kagome looked up.

Fear struck her. 'It's him.'

He smirked at her fearful face, "Just because you look like Kikyou, doesn't mean I won't kill you."

Kagome found herself glaring at him, "That's the second time you say that name. I'm not her and-"

InuYasha jumped down from the tree landing a few feet from her. Kagome continued to keep her head high, "And I don't know who she is."

InuYasha glowered at her, "Humans, are so pathetic."

Kagome stared at him, feeling insulted, "Wait a second mister, you almost killed me yesterday! I'm sorry I touched you, okay! It's just…" She was at loss for words.

InuYasha crossed his arms with a shocked expression, "You're, what?"

Kagome stared at him, "I'm human."

InuYasha glared at her again, "I know that stupid, bitch. I mean- Forget it." He looked away and Kagome furrowed her brows.

After a few seconds, Kagome began to walk, but as soon as she was passing by him, InuYasha slammed her against the tree trunk. Kagome gave out a gasp and looked at him. His hands were on her shoulders, pinning her painfully against the tree, "Where do you think you're going?"

Kagome winced, before glaring at him, "Home."

InuYasha neared her face, "I'm tired of you humans. I should teach you a lesson."

Kagome's eyes widened.

"InuYasha, let her go."

InuYasha didn't turn to respond, "Stay out of this, Miroku."

Kagome glanced behind InuYasha's form, "Help me."

Miroku placed a hand on InuYasha's shoulder, "Let me handle it."

InuYasha huffed and gave Kagome a shove before backing off. Kagome relaxed a bit, but remained tense as the other male walked up to her.

InuYasha didn't bother staying as he left in a blur. Miroku picked up her hand, "My lady."

Kagome stared at him, "Thank you for your help." Inside she was still unsure.

Miroku kissed her hand and smiled devilishly at her, "What is a beautiful flower such as you messing with a half- demon. You could get hurt."

Kagome pulled her hand out of his, "I tried to apologize. I didn't think touching his ears would've bothered him so much. I just wanted to touch them."

Miroku gave her a confused stare, "You don't go to our school do you?"

Kagome stared at him, "Um, I don't recall seeing him or you around."

Miroku chuckled, "InuYasha, I swear."

Kagome lifted a brow, "If your referring to that boy, then, you must know him."

Miroku smiled, "Of course. I'm Miroku Fort. I grew up with him. His only human friend… Only friend in fact."

Kagome smiled, "That's believable. He's a jerk."

Miroku laughed, "What is your name?"

"Kagome."

Miroku took a step closer towards her, "Well, now that I know you're not taunting my friend, would you bear my child?"

"What?" Kagome then felt his hand caressing her ass.

Seconds later, Miroku was left standing on the sidewalk with a red hand imprinted on his left cheek.
