Introduction
Kagome was fast asleep at her desk, her head in her student handbook which she had been reading out of sheer boredom the night before. Her alarm clock woke her up and she screamed, nearly falling out of her chair.
Kikyo, her twin sister who was slightly paler and older than her by five minutes, came into her room. "Wake up! First day of school, lil sis and we- I mean- I have to make my big debut in high school."
"Yeah, whatever," she moaned getting up off the floor. She went to her bed and picked up her new school uniform. The average sailor fuku, thought Kagome. The skirt was green, shorter than her middle school one to her dismay. The shirt that she was required to wear during this was also green, or at least the collar was with a red bow in the center. "Cute, but not my style, but….Oh well…uniforms are required."
Kagome quickly brushed her hair, hoping to beat Kikyo to the bathroom. She got lucky, this time. She brushed her teeth and smiled at herself in the mirror.
"Kagome! Hurry up! I need the bathroom now!" Kikyo yelled from behind the door.
Kagome swung the door open and looked at her sister. "Here," she said walking back to her room, closing the door shut, "Royal Highness." She grabbed her things and rushed down the stairs.
She sat at the table, and smiled at her mother. "Good morning!" she chimed.
"Good morning, Kagome. Ready for school?" her mother, Akazuki said smiling. "Sort of…I fell asleep last night reading the student handbook."
"At least you were hitting the books early," her brother Souta, who was a senior in high school that year.
"You could say that again," said Kikyo as she took her seat at the table.
"Good morning, Kikyo," Akazuki said.
"Good morning, Mom."
Kagome, Kikyo, and Souta hurried with their meals, having to be off for school. But Kikyo raced to finish. No sooner was she done, there was a knock at the door.
"I've got it!" Kikyo yelled. She opened the door. "It's for you Kagome."
Kagome kissed Akazuki on the cheek and picked up her things. "Good-bye Mom!"
"Good-bye Kagome."
Kagome ran out the door, grinning at Kikyo as she rushed by.
"Hello Kagome."
"Hey Sango, Rin…Shippo?" Kagome flashed a questioning look to him then at the other two girls. "What's he…?"
"He moved next door to me," said Sango walking down the sidewalk, Kagome to her right and Rin to her left, "I thought that he could at least walk with us. Why do you have a problem with it?"
"No…I just didn't know that he moved to our side of town."
Shippo smiled at Kagome. "What? You don't like me anymore Kagome?"
"I never said that!" Shippo laughed, his voice deep, but boyish. ((yepp…defiantly different from what we're used to, huh?))
Sango, Rin, and Shippo stopped in their tracks as they gazed upon a newly built house that hadn't seen ever before. "Since when has this been here?" asked Sango.
"Since the middle of summer. Why?"
"You never told me they built a new house!"
"They who?" asked Rin and Kagome at the same time.
"What do you mean?" asked Rin and Sango at the same time.
"Shut up, Rin!" yelled Rin, Kagome, and Sango at the same time. The three of them laughed.
"We have new neighbors, and they moved in last week. I met the owners of the house. A truly nice couple, and they look so young but they have kids, two boys. One is our age, 15, and the other is a year older than us."
"Have you met them?" asked Rin.
"No. Not yet. But I hear that both of them favor their father. The oldest, however, has a different mother and favors her by his birthmark."
"Birthmark?"
"Yeah, it's on his forehead."
"Other than that what do they look like?"
"Oh I took a picture of their father and mother together."
Kagome took out her cell phone and flipped through the images until she came across one with a silver haired man with gold eyes in a business suit and a woman with emerald eyes and kind smile in a floral sundress. "He's in his early forties and she's in her early thirties. But they only appear to be in their twenties, don't they?"
"They do," said Rin, Sango, and Shippo looking over her shoulder.
"Perhaps we'll meet them at school," Kagome said smiling towards the house.
They continued on, talking about what they did that summer when they weren't together. They all laughed as they joked with Shippo now joining the Drama Girls Squad, that was Sango, Rin, and Kagome's little group, or at least that's what they were known as around school.
Inuyasha looked outside his window and looked at the three girls and one guy laugh as they continued walking down the street.
"I wonder what they're laughing at…," he said as he turned away. He was now in his school uniform, the same one as Shippo's. It was all black, the shirt and the pants. Not what he would've chosen, but he was required to.
"Hurry up Inuyasha, otherwise we're going to leave without you," said his father, Inu no Taisho, from behind Inuyasha's bedroom door.
"Whatever. I'm coming." He looked out his one last time to see if they were still in front of his house, but they weren't there. His dog ears twitched and he pulled back his hair into a hair band.
Inuyasha picked up his stuff, put his cap on, and walked out his room. His brother, Sesshoumaru, purposely bumped into him, making him fall on to the floor.
Sesshoumaru shot a short glare through his one open eye.
"Picking a fight you half asleep, bastard?" Inuyasha said growling through his gritting teeth.
"In case you've forgotten, you're a half demon, twit," Sesshoumaru spat at him.
"Doesn't matter; I can kick your ass any time any day."
"Keep dreaming, lil bro; you got that?"
Inuyasha stood up and slung his back pack over his shoulder. "Yeah, whatever." They started walking down the stairs looking at the others schedule. ((another thing different, huh?))
"Miss Kitowa is an easy teacher. She'll go easy on ya," Sesshoumaru said as he picked up and apple off of the fruit basket that came from the owner's of Higurashi temple.
"So you say…."
They got into the car, their father driving them to school. As they backed out, a girl with long jet black, board straight hair tied back with a white ribbon walked down the side walks with a few of her friends.
"Like the other girl…."
"Good morning Mr. Taisho," the girl said smiling.
"Good morning, Kikyo. These are my sons I was talking about. The one with the cap is Inuyasha and the other one is Sesshoumaru. Guys, this is Kikyo Higurashi. This is one of the twins I was telling you about not to long ago."
Sesshoumaru shot a glance and nodded, skimming through the student handbook, looking as though he was about to burn it with his eyes. "Hi."
Inuyasha looked at Kikyo who was now bending over to look into the car through his father's window. "The girl who was walking down the street not to long ago…was that your sister?" Inuyasha asked plainly.
Kikyo was taken aback. She was sure she did everything perfectly-her make-up, hair, everything! "Yes. That was my twin…Kagome," she said sounding disgusted but also plainly.
"I see," said both of the brothers at once. They looked at each other surprised.
Just then, Izayoi, Inuyasha's mother stepped outside, carrying a book, a smile on her face. She walked up to Inuyasha's window and he rolled it down.
"You for got this, Hun," she said sweetly.
Inuyasha took it; it was his student handbook.
Myou looked at Kikyo "Hello, Kikyo. How are you?"
"I'm good," Kikyo said, happy that the subject had changed to her instead of her sister.
"I have to get the boys to school, love."
"Good-bye, dear. Can you bring Kikyo al-"
"No. I'm walking with my friends. Thanks though!" Kikyo said as she ran to catch up to her friends.
"Tell your sister 'hi' for me!" Izayoi yelled to her waving.
Kikyo tripped and got back up again in a comical manor; the boys silently laughed in the back seat.
Inu shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and pulled out of the driveway.
"What do you think, boys?"
"She's…ok…I guess," mumbled Inuyasha.
"Fine…not my type," Sesshoumaru said.
"I see...oh well. Perhaps you'll meet Kagome at school later on."
"Perhaps," the brothers said instantly, ignoring the fact the other said it as well.
