Chapter One
First Day

"Wait, what do you mean I have to?" Kagome exclaimed, hands balled up in fists.

"Unless you want your cousin to suffer more," Kagome's mother calmly said while doing the dishes, "then I suggest that you go along with this for his sake and for your aunt's sake."

"Why can't you get someone else to do this? Hire someone, or something!"

"I can't trust them, I would barely know them. That's why I'm asking you, Kagome. You're allowed to wear hats in that school and it's only for a year. All we have to do is change your name a little."

Kagome rolled her eyes and huffed loudly. "To what, Kago?"

"Actually, I was thinking more Kagin."

"Kagin?" Kagome gave her mother a look of confusion and frustration.

"No? What about Kanma?"

"That's very odd..."

"You can say your father was an odd person."

"Can't you give me a decent name!"

"How about Kevin?"

"That's an American name, Mama! We're Japanese and we live in Japan, in a shrine!"

"Then you pick one." Kagome's mother smiled.

Kagome sat there in thought; What about Kirand? No, that's really stupid. It has to start with a "K" in case I start to say Kagome. What about Kiji? Ack, no. Kankee? Ew, no. I can't even pick a name; I'm so pathetic. Ah, what about Kinn? That works! Kagome nodded her head; "I've picked one."

"What is it?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Kinn."

"I like it; simple, yet humble." Kagome's mother grabbed her car keys and smiled. "So, it's settled. You will be Higurashi Kinn at the Runko's School for Boys!"

Kagome groaned, "I can't believe I actually agreed to this!"

"You'll fit in just fine, honey. Now, come on, let's go get your hair cut-"

"Oh, no!" Kagome grabbed her hair possessively. "We are not cutting my hair!"

"We have to, you'll look too much like a girl."

Kagome's head fell down and grumbled, "Fine..."

"Great, let's go to your appointment."

Kagome's mother took Kagome's-or should we say Kinn's-hand and took her out to the car. Kagome whimpered when her hair was cut off, the hair stacking on the floor. When the hair cut was complete, Kagome had shaggy, yet decent hair with bangs over her eyebrows. Kagome stood up out of the chair as her mother paid for the cut. She glanced at herself in the mirror, combing through her hair with her fingers. She frowned at the image and told herself, "It's for Asa... I agreed to help Asa... Why couldn't you just deal with this on your own!"

Kagome's cousin, Kato Asa, was having trouble at school, but he wouldn't tell anyone. Since Kagome was the only one the same age as him, she was forced to agree to go to an all boy school with him and do some investigating. Kagome didn't even know where to start or even if she'd even see him since he was in a different home room.

It's not like Kagome couldn't pull it off, she could if she wanted to. It's just the fact of her being developed and the curves of her body that might just ruin it. Kagome's grandfather (who was an unusual character) explained to her that she could wrap bandages around her chest to contain her breasts to her torso. This school uniform (luckily) had a more loose fitting shirt with a collar like the ones she had at her previous school and black pants. The only issue she would have would be for P.E. when she had to change, but she figured she might be able to wear a shirt underneath her school uniform to conceal her wrap.

Kagome walked with her mother out of the hair salon, hanging her head in sadness and partially out of embarassment. She didn't want to do this, but she knew if she didn't, her family would be ashamed of her. She couldn't hurt her family like that and Asa did need help.

The next day, Kagome put on her uniform after wrapping her chest tightly and sat down for breakfast. She ate it quietly, not even wanting to say anything about her new day she was about to face as a boy. When she was finished, she grabbed her backpack, swung it over her shoulders, slipped on her sneakers that her mother bought for her the other day, and left out the door.

It was her first day at her new school in April and she started on her walk to the bus stop. When she arrived, there were only a few people standing there. A couple men in business suits and two boys dressed in the same uniform as she was. As she walked up, the two boys looked at her, slightly confused since they hadn't seen "him" at this bus stop before. Kagome turned her head to look at them, one she recognized as a half-demon (hanyou) and a full fledged demon.

"Who the hell are you?" The hanyou asked.

"You're really nice when it comes to greeting people, dog," the youkai replied.

"Shut up, wolf!"

Kagome cleared her voice, deepening it a little, "I'm Higurashi Kinn, I just transferred for my junior year."

"I'm Kidoban Kouga, and that dog would be Saito Inuyasha," the demon said. "We're both juniors too."

Inuyasha growled at Kouga, his fangs showing slightly.

"You go to Runko's too," Kagome said, trying to break the tension.

"Unfortunately," a voice said from behind her.

She jumped a little and turned around to see a human boy, his hair pulled back in a small, low ponytail. That's when she realized that Inuyasha had his white hair pulled back in a similar way, but it was longer. As did Kouga. She cursed her mother under her breath for making her cut her hair.

"I'm Ito Miroku," he said.

"Higurashi Kinn," Kagome replied.

"Really?" It seemed that Miroku's lights lit up as Kagome said her name.

"Umm, yes...?" She responded, confused by his response.

"You live in the Higurashi shrine?"

"Yeah."

"Would you happen to know a young woman who lives there?"

Kagome, stunned by his question, started to stutter. "Well, um-"

"She's a junior, goes to a school near by. She has black hair, brown eyes, lovely skin."

"Kinn's a junior though," Kouga said suspiciously.

All eyes were on Kagome. She panicked and nervously responded with the first thing she could think of. "Um, yeah! Kagome is my twin..."

"Would you mind if I-I mean, we came by and met your lovely twin sister?" Miroku smirked.

"She wouldn't really have the time, she's always studying math-"

"I can help her!" Miroku responded. "I'm quite the mathmetician."

"Keh, he wishes he was good at math..." Inuyasha responded and Miroku gave him a scolding look.

The bus arrived just before Kagome could reply. She stumbled on the bus, sitting in one of the very back seats, sinking into it. Kagome groaned. How was she going to avoid them now? They think that she's the twin sister of Kinn who doesn't even exist! This is not good, not good at all. I need something for this headache... She thought, rubbing her temples.

When Kagome arrived at the school, she observed that there were less students than at her previous school. She walked up to the front doors and began to search for the locker area. She heard a snort behind her, "Need help?"

Kagome looked up; it was Inuyasha, "Uh, yeah."

"This way..." Inuyasha began to walk ahead of her and she had to jog a little to keep up with him. "What home room are you in?"

"Class C-3."

"Same as Miroku, Kouga, and I."

Kagome nodded and they arrived at the lockers. She found hers and slipped on her don school slippers. After she had put her shoes in their locker, she walked with Inuyasha to their home room.

Kagome went ahead and found her seat, which was between Inuyasha and Kouga oddly. Right when they sat down, Kouga struck up a conversation by saying, "Do you always have to bring that stink in with you, dog?"

"Nothing smells as bad as you, wolf!" Inuyasha responded.

"Guys, guys, why don't we just calm down?" Kagome said, trying to get rid of the tension.

"Nothing smells worse than a dog, everyone knows that! I bet I could kick your ass and prove it!" Kouga stood up from his desk, staring Inuyasha down.

"Is that a challenge?" Inuyasha responded, standing up as well, getting his face as close to Kouga's as he could.

"Of course it is, dog!"

"I could kick your butt any day. I don't want to waste my time though. I bet Kinn here could even beat you."

"Hey! Don't bring me in the middle of this!" Kagome said, trying to push them away from each other.

"Fine! If I beat Kinn, then you'll be next!" Kouga exclaimed.

"Fine!" Inuyasha replied, covering Kagome's mouth. "After school then!"

"You're on, dog!" Kouga sat back down in his seat, and right after the bell rang for class to start.

Before Kagome could reply, the teacher walked in and started taking attendance. All she could do was sit there and give Inuyasha a piece of her mind during lunch.

"What the HELL were you thinking, Inuyasha?" Kagome said to Inuyasha, grabbing some of his hair and pulling on it.

"Ow! What the hell are you doing, Kinn!" Inuyasha replied, pulling his hair out of Kagome's hand.

"Why did you drag me into the middle of your fight!" Kagome started scooping some of the rice her mother made for her lunch into her mouth.

"What? Are you scared?"

Yes... She thought. "Of course not! I just don't see why I have to fight him..."

"To prove he's even WORTHY of fighting me! You shouldn't be afraid anyway, he's just a wimpy wolf..." Inuyasha started shoveling food in his mouth.

"I'm not afraid!" Kagome stomped her foot on the ground and then sat at her desk, refusing to speak another word to him.

Once Inuyasha was done eating, he looked down at Kinn. He was confused by his response and also the feeling he got off of him. There was something off about this new kid, and he wasn't sure what it was. And that bothered him most.

To Kagome's regret, the end of school came around quickly. After everyone finished cleaning, Kagome, Inuyasha, Kouga and Miroku headed down to the soccer field behind the school.

"Hey!" A girl started running towards them, waving at them.

"Hello, Sango!" Miroku responded, smiling.

"What is she doing here? I thought this was an all boys high school?" Kagome said, leaning towards Inuyasha a bit.

"That's Sango, she's from the high school down the street. She's friends with Miroku and I." Inuyasha responded, whispering a bit.

"Who's your friend?" Sango asked when she caught up to them.

"This is Higurashi Kinn, he just transferred." Miroku said, patting Kagome on the back.

Kagome waved at Sango and then was being dragged out into the soccer field by Inuyasha. "Wait," Kagome said. "I don't want to fight him."

"Don't be afraid, he's just a wolf! I told you!" Inuyasha said, stopping in the middle of the field.

Kouga lined up with Kagome on the opposite end of the field. "No weapons. Fists, feet, and knees allowed. Whoever gets knocked out first wins."

"READY!" Miroku shouted. Kagome started panicking. "SET!" He continued.

I don't know how to fight! How am I supposed to beat this guy? Kagome thought.

"FIGHT!" Right as Miroku shouted, Kouga started charging at Kagome.

Kagome didn't know what to do. She could charge him too, but that could end up badly. She could always dodge him and run for her life! But that didn't look very manly. Ah ha! I hope this works! She exclamied in her head. Kouga ran straight at her and at the last minute, she put up her fist with her arm straight out and shut her eyes. When she felt the impact of Kouga's face meeting her fist, she opened her eyes at looked at the ground. There he was, unconsious from his own momentum and her fist. She kicked him in the stomach, just to make sure he was out. She threw her hands up in the air and cried out, "I won!"

Inuyasha laughed and cheered, walking towards Kagome. Sango and Miroku cheered as well, following Inuyasha. Kagome ran towards them screaming, "I did it! I did it! I beat Kouga!"

Miroku patted Kagome on the back, "Congratulations, Kinn. You won! I guess that means Inuyasha doesn't have to fight him..."

"Keh, and I was looking forward to kicking his ass..." Inuyasha responded, folding his arms.

"Then why did you put me in the middle of it!" Kagome yelled at him, tugging at his hair again.

"Ow, stop that!" Inuyasha snatched his hair back. He was about ready to hit Kagome on the head when Miroku shouted, "Watch out!"

Kouga started charging at Kagome again. She had developed a new found confidence in his physical abilities and threw her leg up. Kagome had kicked him right in the head and he landed on the ground.

Miroku started patting Kagome on the back again, and they all walked off to wait at the bus stop for the bus to head home. Kouga laid face down in the field. He lifted his head and watched them walking off. Damn that Kinn. He thought; I'll get him back some how... Kouga thought back to earlier this morning. Ah, that's it!
