Inuyasha's POV

Today was Monday, my least favorite day of the week. It meant that I had to spend the next five days in hell. Or school, as my mom makes me call it. To top it off, it was the beginning of sophomore year.

So here I am, walking alone to school. At least one good thing is going to happen. I get to see the love of my life, Kikyo. I met her at the opening ceremony last year. She was the most beautiful, kind girl I had ever seen. We instantly connected after that day, started dating, and I have never been so in love in my life. But of course, I would never admit that openly to anybody else but her.

It's our one year anniversary today. I'm so happy to see her again because she was at her beach house in Florida for the entire summer. So even though I have to sit through eight hours of shit five days out of the week, it's all worth it just to see Kikyo again.

I finally got to school after what seemed like forever. But it wouldn't matter because I had shown up fifteen minutes early to school for Kikyo. As I started walking up the steps to the main door, everybody there gave me evil smirks. I wondered what the hell those looks were for, but my main focus was Kikyo right now, so I just kind of shrugged it off.

I pushed open the big doors to go to my locker at the end of the long hallway. When I entered, everybody in the hall stopped what they were doing and turned to me. Why in the hell does everybody keep acting weirdly? I'm kind of wondering what's going on right now. I start looking over all the people who are staring at me. All that could be heard was the sound of my shoes on the floor.

"Go back to your doghouse, mutt," whispered one girl.

Okay… I don't really care what this wench has to say. I've heard all these insults before when I was kid. It's not like I can use my half-demon strength on her because I would never touch a human girl. But why is everybody suddenly acting like they are against me? They were fine with me being a half-demon last year…

I could now hear a few people laughing. Are they laughing at me? It's okay, I really don't care. I don't care if the whole school is against me. As long as I have Kikyo, I'm perfectly fine without everybody else.

When I finally got to my locker, it was covered with words like Go to hell, mutt and Ugly loser, and it had pictures of me with slashes through them. I mean, I know I'm not the most smart or attractive person out there, but this was kind of ridiculous. What the hell was everybody's problem today?

I opened my locker to find pictures of me and Kikyo torn in half. Hell no. If everybody wants to treat me badly, I don't care, but when you bring Kikyo into this, there is going to be hell to pay.

"Hello, baby," I heard a voice behind me. It sounded kind of like Kikyo…

I turned around to see Kikyo with everybody else surrounding me. Why is everybody with her?

"Kikyo! I'm so glad to see you! Happy anniversary!" I said. I was about to lean in to kiss her when she put her hand up to guard her face. "Is there something wrong?" I asked, confused.

"Listen dog-boy, I don't want your mouth kissing me," said Kikyo, disgusted. Why is she acting so different? Did something happen over the summer?

"I-I-I'm sorry, Kikyo. I think I might have a couple of breath mints in here somewhere…" I said as I kneeled on the ground to fumble through my bag. I was searching around in the bag when suddenly a high heel kicked the bag out of my hands. I looked up to see Kikyo: very, very angry.

"Look, mutt. I don't want your disgusting mouth kissing me. Ever. You are a disgusting creature, and I don't want to be seen with a dumb half-demon like you. You are the ugliest thing I have ever laid eyes on, with your white hair and dumb ears. Those damned ears are so ugly, I want to throw up!" she said.

"Kik-kikyo, I-"

"I wasn't finished talking, mutt!" she interrupted me. "This whole relationship was a joke. I was cheating on you the entire time with a human because he didn't have those creepy ears and that ugly hair! The only reason I talked to you was because you were so pitiful! It was the same with everybody else too! They only talked to you because I told them to! But ugly, disgusting mutts like you don't deserve kindness. This whole school is done even paying attention to you. From now on, you will have nobody. Even the teachers and principal are disgusted with you! We all hope you rot in hell with your half-demon brethren, mutt," she said.

I was paralyzed. I hope to god this is a dream. Please. Please be a dream. Kikyo, the love of my life, did not just say these things to me. Please, please I'll do anything to make her take back all those things she said! What am I supposed to do now?

I was about to stand up when I felt a harsh sting on my face. I looked up to see Kikyo and everybody laughing. Kikyo had just slapped me. She raised her hand to slap me again. I am too hurt by what my love said to me to even fight back. I just want the pain to go away. I don't care if anybody hits me. I felt a stinging pain on my other cheek. Only this time it wasn't a slap. She had scratched me with her nails. There was a trail of blood on my face now. I was too numb to care. After Kikyo had done that, other people were starting to come up to hurt me. I was so out of it, but I think I heard people calling me ugly and other stuff like that. I received a couple more slaps and a punch to the face. People were almost going to start kicking me when the bell rang.

"Aw shit! We're going to be late for class!" somebody yelled. Everybody ran out of the hallway as fast as they could to their classes, leaving me alone in the hallway on the ground. But I knew there was somebody still there when I heard the click-clack of heels. I looked up to see Kikyo smirking evilly at me. She leaned down, roughly grabbed me by the hair, pulled me close, and said:

"Go die, you will do the human and demon world a favor." Then she let my head slam onto the cold, hard floor after she let my hair go. I heard her laugh evilly as she loudly clacked down the hallway.

That was it. That was the worst thing that could have been said. The pain I was feeling on my body didn't even compare to what Kikyo said to me.

I slowly stood up, feeling very wobbly and unstable. I grabbed my backpack, walking as slowly as I could to class.

A single tear raced down my face as I tried to walk to class.
