Chapter 1: New School

16 year-old Kagome Higurashi is in a vehicle with her parents. Her father, Hige Higurashi has just been hired to a company, while her mother, Ai Higurashi works as a nurse at a local hospital. "Kagome trust me, you'll love you're new school. It's the top school throughout Tokyo, and you will do great there." Kagome's father said as they drive to their new house. Kagome is the back seat looking out the window, "But dad, I've been to 4 different school, and I've a bad feeling about this one." She replies to him. "Nonsense, Kagome." Her mother said. "This school is unlike any of the other schools you've been to." Kagome looks back out the window. "I don't feel right about this. I'll just be humiliated again, just like my other schools." Mrs. Higurashi looks through the mirror, "Kagome, you'll get used to it. We just realized that those schools weren't for you." She said. 'And this school will be the same, just like the others.' Kagome thought to herself. Kagome has been through tough times since she was only 12 years old.

*FLASHBACK*

6th grader, Kagome was just arriving her 3rd school. As she takes her time taking her time to get used to the school. It wasn't what she expected. The classes she took were okay, but it was the students that worried her. When she got to her assigned locker, she was having trouble with it. A female student with long black hair to the bottom of her back in a priestess ponytail, in the school's uniform, black top with a dark blue skirt to her knees, comes to her. "It seems that you are having with your locker." Kagome looks to her, "Yeah, I am." Kikyo looks closely to what Kagome is doing with it. "Here's how it goes." Kikyo said. She turns the knob to the left twice, goes over the first number once, and stops on the second number, and turns the knob to the left and stop on the third number, and lifts the handle up to open it up. "There you go." She said. Kagome smiles, "Thank you…"

"I'm Kikyo Heritoshi."

"I'm Kagome Higurashi." Kagome and Kikyo introducing themselves, shaking hands. A few weeks later they got to be good friends. But Kikyo was just using Kagome to do all her work when they're doing their work together. So Kagome had enough with it and broken their friendship apart, big time. Kikyo got herself and Kagome suspended for a fight in the hallway while class was in session. Kagome will never forget that day, Kikyo taking advantage of her skills.

*END FLASHBACK*

"Kagome we're here." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome looks out the window and sees what her new home. It was a huge house from the front. There was a beautiful front door with a gorgeous design crystal like feature. The windows were average size. Kagome exits out the vehicle, and enters the house. The inside was amazing. There was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The living room was big, the kitchen was great with the state of the art appliances, and in the back yard was something. There was a patio with an in ground pool, with a hot tube connecting to it, with a diving board, and a huge waterslide, and a little waterfall in the middle. She smiles as she continues on looking around the house. She finds a bedroom with a bathroom, and out the window was a little balcony looking over the back yard. "Maybe this won't be so bad." Kagome said to herself. "What do you think, Kagome?" Her father asks as he sees her from the backyard. "It's okay Dad." Kagome replies. A few hours later, Kagome's belongings were in her room. She started to set what she desires. She knows that she has to go to school the following day. So she set her alarm at 6:30 am.

The next morning, Kagome's parents take her to her new school, Shikon High. She is nervous when she has to deal with new challenges, especially new schools, being the newbie. She goes into the office. The workers gave her schedule. The first class she had was math. But first she had to go to homeroom. As she enters the class she heads to the teacher, "Class, we have a new student joining us, give a warm welcome to Kagome, Higurashi." The teacher said as Kagome bows to class. "You can roam the room." The teacher said as Kagome walks to the edge of the room, and sits on the big shelf by the window looking outside, giving a great view of Tokyo. "I wonder what this school has in store for me?" She asks herself. "More than you can dish out." A voice answers her question. Kagome looks to see a male student in front of her, looking out the window as well. "Oh, I'm sorry to say that out loud." Kagome said to the boy. He was a little taller than her, with silver hair down to the bottom of his back, had two pointy dog ears on top of his head. His hands had claws instead of fingernail, and his eyes were golden color. "I just though that this one will be better than my previous schools I've been to." Kagome said looking back out the window. "How is it that you got here?" the boy asks. "It's because of my parents. I've been to 4 schools, and it was nothing but hell." Kagome answered. "By the way, I'm Inuyasha Takahashi." Inuyasha said introducing himself. Kagome smiles to him, "It's nice to meet you." She said as she takes her backpack, taking out her cell phone. "Would it be okay, if I add you to my phone?" Kagome asks. Inuyasha pulls out his cell out of his pocket, "Sure." He said. They exchanged their numbers. "Hey Inuyasha." A voice calling out to him. A man and a girl come up to them. The man was as tall as Inuyasha. His black hair was in a tiny ponytail, with purple eyes, with an earring on his left ear. The girl was a little shorter than him. She had brown eyes with a little bit of pink eye shadow, and long brown hair in a low ponytail. "Kagome, this is Miroku…" Inuyasha pointing to the guy, "And this is Sango." Pointing to the girl. "Hello there." Kagome waves nicely to them. "Just out of curiosity, may I see your schedule?" Miroku asks. Kagome takes her schedule and gives it to him. "I see you have Math, Social Studies, Lunch and Gym with all of us. You have Science with Sango, and Art with Inuyasha. But neither of us will be in Study Hall with you though. Sorry about that one." Miroku said. "It's okay. I have you guys to help me out where they are. So it's no big deal though right?" Kagome assures them. The bell rang and the group head to their classes.

After gym, Sango takes Kagome to Science, Inuyasha helps Kagome which way the Art room is, but neither of them told her where her study hall room is. "Looks like I'm on my own for this one." Kagome said sadly. Looking closely at her schedule, looking for the room number where her final class was, she was right in front of the door with the room number matching hers. She takes a deep breath and enters. She looks around, not many students are here at the moment, so Kagome made herself comfortable by sitting alone in a desk by the window. Knowing that she had homework to do, she got an early start so she wouldn't have to do it all at home. The home assignment was her math Algebra I. She's good with this so she started with it. While doing her homework, a young boy comes up to her, "hello there." He said to her. "Hi." Kagome replies to him nicely. The boy had blue eyes, with black hair in a high ponytail. "The name's Koga. What's yours?" He introduced himself. "I'm Kagome." She answers. "Koga what are you doing to her?" A voice called. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there." Koga said to the one who spoke. The student was a girl with red hair in pigtails, with an iris on the left side of her hair, with green eyes. "Kagome, this is Ayame. Ayame, Kagome." Koga said introducing them to each other. "Hey there, Kagome." Ayame said. "It's a pleasure to meet you too." Kagome said back. "I take it you two are wolf demons?" Kagome asks of the tail Koga has. "Yes, Ayame and I are wolf demons. We take pride of our customs, and traditions." Koga said about themselves. They just continued to talk until the final bell rang. Kagome grabs her things and heads out the door, "It was nice meeting you two."

Kagome said as she leaves to get to her locket to gets her belongings she needs to finish off her homework. "Kagome!" A voice calls. Kagome turns to see who it is. "Oh, Inuyasha." She said as she sees him coming her way. "What are you doing later on?" he asks. "I know I have to finish off my homework. I didn't get that much done while I was in study hall." Kagome said as they head to the exit. A car horn beeps. Kagome sees it's from her mother's car. "I have to go home now. I'm sorry for this." Kagome said as she gets into the vehicle. Inuyasha watches as the vehicle drives away. "It seems you like her." Miroku said as he comes to him, "Maybe. But I've got a feeling something's wrong with her family though." Inuyasha said. "It's not right to snoop into someone else's business, Inuyasha." Sango said. "It's just been one day for her here. Give her some time to get use to it." She adds. They head to their own vehicles, Inuyasha's Red Chevy Impala, Miroku's Purple Ford Escort, and Sango's Black Buick Century.
