Greetings fellow fan-fiction lovers.

This is my first ever fan-fiction. This idea has been bothering me for quite a while, so I decided to write it.

This is a MA lemons between Kagome&Sesshomaru as

well as Sango&Miroku.

I thought this might be an interesting take on the story and characters.

I do not own InuYasha (anime or manga)!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this... Please R&R...

xXx

CHAPTER 1

The New Beginning

This is it, she thought as she got out of her car. She looked up at the old building in complete awe. Shikon High was amazing. And the most amazing part of it all is that she, Kagome Higurashi, was chosen for the post. Her stomach churned as the thought of what an opportunity this was for her career. Yes, she might just be an English teacher, but her reputation for making all her students fall in love with literature was what got her this position in the first place.

Sighing she walked up the crowded steps. Students from all backgrounds filled the grounds and excited chatter filled the air. It was the first day of the new year. Everyone had stories to tell. Kagome caught snippets of tales as she walked towards the enormous building. One snippet in particular made her eyes widen and her cheeks glow bright pink. Luckily she was able to shake it off when she saw Sango waving from across the crowd. She was practically jumping up and down with excitement.

"Wow! Look at you! You look great!" Sango smiled widely, embracing her friend in a tight hug.

"Thank you. You too! Amazing what a year can do to a person," Kagome hugged her back.

"I'm so sorry though," Kagome blushed, "The flight was delayed and everything just went wrong. Luckily I could drop off everything at your place before I came here." she sighed. Sango's face dropped slightly.

"The landlady, Lady Kaede helped me, just like you said she would. I insisted she didn't, but there was no stopping her," Kagome smiled weakly, "Just as stubborn as -"

"Sorry to hear about your mom. I thought she'd get better. How is Souta taking it?" Sango showed real concern for her friend. Something Kagome didn't have in the whole year she returned home to take care of her mother.

"Souta is taking it... Uhhh... Well I think. He is transferring here to continue his studies. He insists on living on campus though," Kagome shrugged her shoulders. Sango placing a caring hand on her shoulder.

"Oh well... Let's get going. You HAVE to show me this place before school starts!" she said with a new smile, ready for this new beginning. Sango returned the smile, linking her arm into her friend's, and started a quick overall tour of the school.

** In the teachers' lounge **

"Did you guys hear!" Miroku yelled, running into the room. Everyone looked in his direction, except one lying on the sofa.

"Hear what?" InuYasha asked, not caring.

"We will be having a new female in our midst" he said, his mind already conjuring a perverted image of what she would look like.

"Pfff! We all already know this. They sent us all the same email two weeks ago!" Kouga said, sitting down at the table with his binder and notes. "Not our fault you don't know how to use a computer, unless for lectures purposes"

"I'm not a pervert," Miroku lifted his chin proudly, "I only APPRECIATE the feminine beauty,"

"Yeah, sure! And they'd 'appreciate' it if you stopped it from now on" InuYasha mocked from his favourite sofa.

Across the room, form an isolated table, Sesshomaru looked up from his laptop. Those idiots are making a ruckus this early in the morning he thought annoyed. He returned to the task at hand. He has seen a lot of teachers, both male and female, come to this elegant school, and leaving shortly after for not performing as well as they should. This school had high expectations from both the learners and the staff. Thus he, Sesshomaru, did not bother making any new acquaintances. The only reason he knew these idiots, and one very promising young female teacher, was because they where the closest beings to his intelligence and thus, being able to work with them on various occasions.

He did not bother with school gossip, as he was the first to know about this new addition to the staff. He, himself, picked her amongst the last 5 applicants because she was the only one showing any promise. This Kagome woman was the only one remotely similar to miss Sango, the ONLY female teacher he would work with. For she was professional and did not seem to drool over him as all the other females, and some males did. The thought made him queasy. How foolish people could be about looks. Looks where nothing! Intelligence – His thoughts were interrupted by laughter coming from the hall just outside the room. He recognised two of the laughter's, but the third one was new.

It was a laugh filled with joy, caressing his nerves. It was... real. It made him stop his work and just listen to the sound. His eyes closed as he listened to her. The world seemed to have gone quite as all listened to this new sound. His eyes snapped open. What the hell is this? What is going on with me! It's a laugh, dammit! Not an angelic chorus! He grinded his teeth in pure annoyance. He was acting like a fool. He forced himself to work again. Stupid woman was his last thought.

InuYasha shot up from his seat. His eyes grew wide as if remembering something. He startled everyone close to him.

"Dude! What the hell - " Kouga shouted at him, but stopped with a palm pointed in his direction.

"No, really. You're freaking us out," Miroku said, looking around at the only two other men in the room.

I recognise this smell from somewhere InuYasha thought hard, not being able to quite put his finger on it.

Sango had introduced Kagome to most of the staff on their tour. Kagura, who taught mathematics, was walking with them. She and Sango had become good friends in the past few years.

"So you and Sango come a long way, huh?" Kagura smiled,

"Oh! Yes we go wayyyyy back," Kagome nudged Sango playfully,

"Ever since high school. We use to be ... three, uhhh... But yeah, you know how friends come and go" Sango said, casting an apologetic smile at Kagome, whom just nodded.

"I am SOOOO jealous! Wish I still had friends fro- " Kagura stopped in shock "Is it just me, or did this place go very quiet very fast?"

For a moment, the three of them stood still in the hall, looking at each other with wide eyes. As if expecting something horrible to happen. Spontaneously, they started laughing again at their silliness.

"Here is the teacher's lounge. I don't know how many people would be here yet," Sango stood aside so that her friends can walk in first.

Laughter died down as Kagome froze in the doorway. Her skinned paled even more, her mouth was agape. Her brown eyes were wide with a mixture of emotions. Her whole world went to a standstill. She knew this was coming, dreading it like the seven hells. But she wasn't expecting this reaction, not from her, nor from him. Her eyes stayed locked with the golden orbs that was once the very source of heat in her life. Her mouth closed with an audible click as he rose from his seat. He was taller than she remembered. His long white hair pulled into a ponytail. His eyes showed the same amount of shock as her own.

Never in his life did he think that the Higurashi joining them would be her. He noticed the air grew thick with tension in the moment of silence. The butterflies in his stomach came to life after all the years of not seeing her. He never thought he would see her again.

He simply nodded his head, "Kagome,"

She straightened herself up, taking a defensive pose as she saw his eyes trail up and down her body.

Clearing her through, she finally spoke the name she refused to speak in years, "InuYasha,"
