Chapter 1: New School, New Problems
"Akari, hurry up or we're going to be late!" her younger sister Mayumi yelled through her bedroom door.
Glancing at her clock, Akari groaned; 7:15 a.m.
'Today is really going to suck…ugh, damn, I need a smoke…'
Rolling over and hopping up out of bed; Akari headed into her bathroom to take a shower. After drying off she began dressing.
A cropped red tank, black and red checked pleated mini, black widow tummy piercing, tight, long sleeved, black mesh overshirt, red fishnets, four inch wedge buckle boots, and a black leather jacket completed her outfit. (At 5'9" foot in her bare feet, adding four extra inches in the form of boots, put her at a scary 6'1") Black eyeliner, shadow, mascara, and nails, and blood red lipstick finished her look. Her naturally wavy jet black hair was shoulder length.
Grabbing her faerie tote bag, Akari headed downstairs. Popping into the kitchen, she found Mayumi eating a poptart. Glancing up, Mayumi swallowed before responding,
"Go ahead and have your morning smoke so you won't be so cranky. I'll be out as soon as I finish my poptart."
Walking out the kitchen door and heading over to the garage, Akari lit up a Marlboro.
Inhale, exhale, sigh….
"Ah…that's better," Akari said taking the last drag from her cigarette.
Squashing the cigarette out under the heel of her boot, Akari headed into the garage. Grabbing two helmets and her motorcycle (a spider) she yelled toward the kitchen,
"Mayumi let's go or we really will be late!"
Seconds later Mayumi dashed out the door. Grabbing the helmet Akari was holding out to her she hopped onto the bike and wrapped her arms around Akari's waist. Gunning the engine, Akari took off.
At 7:57 a.m., Akari and Mayumi arrived at the high school. Mayumi, who'd gotten her schedule on Saturday when she'd toured the school (Akari had skipped out to go street racing), took off as soon as they'd stopped. Akari, however, took her time. Taking off her helmet and fixing her hair, she decided to have another smoke before beginning her first day at her new high school. When the tardy bell rang, Akari squashed her cigarette and headed for the school's office.
~Miyazaki-sensei's English Class~
"Ohayou class, today we'll be getting a new student."
"Who? Is it a girl? Is it a guy? Are they hot?" the classroom erupted in questions.
Before he could answer they're questions, the door slammed open and in walked the new student. Every single head in the room turned toward the door as she walked in. Jaws dropped, she wasn't hot she was sexy.
"Yo, s'up? Gomen about being late, I had to stop by the office and pick up my schedule. So where do I sit?"
Recovering from his initial shock upon seeing his newest pupil, Miyazaki spoke,
"Ah…konnichiwa, so glad you made it. Class this is Akari Togashi, our new student. She's just transferred here from Kyoto. Umm…let's see, you can sit it the back near Inuyasha. Inuyasha raise your hand."
Akari glanced around until she spotted the raised hand. She skipped over to where 'Inuyasha' was sitting and plopped into the empty seat.
Whispers of 'lucky duck', and 'damn why couldn't she sit by me' floated around from the boys while 'how dare she sit by him' and 'lucky bitch' floated around from the girls.
"Since this is your last week of school before spring break, I'm going to let you guys have free time so long as you can manage to behave," Miyazaki-sensei said before beginning to read the newspaper.
Akari turned toward Inuyasha,
"So got anything worth talking about?"
Inuyasha took a good look at the new girl and decided she wasn't so bad.
"Not really, school pretty much sucks."
"Oh my kami, you think so too? I was so hoping I wasn't the only one. That was my excuse for skipping so much at my old school."
"You've actually skipped school?"
"Yup, I skipped the equivalent of about two weeks before first quarter grades came out."
"That much?!"
"Hai"
And so Akari and Inuyasha continued chatting until class was over. The next three classes were okay; she met Kagome, Inuyasha's girlfriend, second period, Kikyo, Kagome's twin sister in third, and Sango and Miroku during fourth. By the time the lunch bell rang, Akari had a new group of friends. Entering the lunch room, they grabbed their lunch before plopping down at a table.
"So I was going to ask, why'd you choose to transfer in at almost the end of the school year?" Kagome asked.
"Well, do you want to know my reasons or my mom's reasons?"
"How about both?" Miroku popped in.
"My reason is that I got kicked out for stripping and streaking during P.E. The school officials were pissed to say the least. It was probably a good thing they didn't search my gym bag, otherwise they'd have found my bottle of Smirnoff.
My mom's reason is actually our family's reason. Our dad decided that that he'd rather be screwing his secretary than helping to raise a family. Mom filed for divorce and won custody of me, my younger sister, and my younger brother. He got the house, and we got most of his money. We moved to Tokyo to be closer to my grandfather, who runs a shrine."
"Whoa, talk about drama. You actually stripped and streaked, at school?" Kikyo said eyes wide.
"Yup, I was actually drunk, but had sobered up and redressed by the time the police arrived."
"You got drunk during school, stripped, streaked and got the police called on you all in one class period?!" Inuyasha said choking on his coke.
"Hai"
"So have you always been such a bad ass?" Kagome questioned.
"Pretty much, it's so much more fun to be bad than to be good."
"So was stripping and streaking your worst offense?" Sango asked.
"Hai, but they should've been used to it. I mean after all the random crap I pulled; you'd think they'd have seen this coming."
"What do you mean by 'random crap'?" Miroku asked.
"Well not six weeks prior I came to school in a bikini with board shorts and flip-flops. I then proceeded to the school's indoor pool and lounged on a pool float until the swim coach and assistant principal dragged me out."
"That's so awesome, your school had an indoor pool?!" Inuyasha said all excited.
Everyone including Akari rolled their eyes at his child-like attitude. Sango, who was sitting across from Akari, suddenly froze.
"Umm…Inuyasha, you did warn her about Kouga didn't you?"
"Who's Kouga?" Akari asked curiosity piqued.
