-CHAPTER 01-

'Leaving the Pack'

The sound of clothes rustling into a suitcase rattled the silence in the air. His blue orbs darted back and forth every article of clothing while his half-brothers invaded the mid-portion of the bed, laying there with idle gazes.

"So tell us again why you want to go to this school?" the male with spiky hair muttered, flinging his arms in the hair aimlessly. A quick grunt answered his question.

"Yeah. What's wrong with M.U.?" Ginta stared at Kōga and grumbled, leaning down to slide his fingers in-between the suitcase, opening it some. The long-haired male growled, prying his hand off immediately.

"I told you guys already. Minami University isn't my thing."

"Yeah but Nishi is? I mean just because they have that music arts program?"

Kōga finished zipping up the last compartment to his second suitcase, raising himself off the ground to place it by the front door of the apartment. "Exactly. I raised the money to go to this place, and I'd appreciate it if my own damned family supported me on this."

Sitting upright, Hakkaku looked at Ginta and frowned.

"You know we support you Kōga. It's just with the soccer scholarships and al—"

"I already explained it to you. To him," He pointed at Ginta. "Soccer was just an activity. Something I used to pass the time. I want my voice to be heard, you know, recognized!"

"Well as long as you come home to visit a lot." Ginta crossed his arms, shutting his eyes with a sigh. The irritation in the air was stifling, but Kōga's stubbornness was unmatched.

"Yeah. In the meantime how about you two try graduating high school?" Kōga smirked before opening the door to slip the suitcases in the backseat of his car. His half-brothers failed to pass the exams required for graduation and were in the process of retaking their tests. Kōga on the other hand managed to slide by with dead instinct and luck.

"You know we got this!" Hakkaku soared his arm into the sky, followed by Ginta giving forth his usual sloppy grin.

"You going already?"

"Yeah, I gotta make it there before 09:00. You guys going to be okay?" Kōga offered them a slightly warmer than usual stare before the two shook their heads.

"We'll miss you, onii-san." the spiky-haired brother muttered, lowering his head some. Kōga tightened his lip into a faint smile and traveled over to the two, making sure to tilt Hakkaku's head up. "Remember. The ladies like you better when they can see your eyes, not your head." His eyes darted to the other and caught Ginta rubbing his eyes.

"Come on guys. I promise I'll visit as much as possible. It's not even that far.."

"It's just that we aren't used to you being gone so..so long!" Hakkaku whimpered and let out a cry, clutching himself onto Ginta while the other brother wrapped his arms around the one tearing.

"I'll be back soon. Love you guys." Kōga waved his hand to them gently before shutting the door behind them. His eyes closed and teeth gritted at the sound of crying escalating from the inside. It tore at him some, but the butterflies were already rapidly invading his stomach.

"Okay Kōga, you got everything?" he mouthed to himself while staring at his luggage in the backseat. "Guess so. Uh...Pass. . .Got it, okay." His fingers pressed along the band that held the pass card with his photo on it dangling loosely over his neck.

Bending over into his passenger seat, he clutched the scarf his oba-san made closer to him before closing the door. Quickly starting the car, he drove on out while the music continued to blare from the radio, suspended from the previous night.

"Isogashiku ikiru hodo mokuteki wa nai kedo

Dakedo futsuu ja bokura wa monotarinai kara

Atsui yume ga aru hodo (moeru yume)

Itami ooku naru kedo (setsunakute)

Sonna ikikata wo kokoro wa motometeru"

Paying no mind to the traffic in front of him, swerving to and from each car to claim room on the road, he shook his head in rhythm to the song and mouthed the following lyrics, clearly recognizing that it was Ginta's CD that was inside, and that he had forgotten to remove it.

The wind picked up slightly, his hand clutching a little harder onto the wheel while he crossed the bridge into the next district. His eyes glanced over to the passenger's seat which included a box of random stuff with his harmonica poking out on the top. Grunting, he barely managed to catch the instrument in hand before the sudden turn could cause a fall.

"Gotta be careful.." he muttered, slipping the harmonica into his coat pocket.

The next thirty minutes were uneventful, and he sighted the university pretty easily considering it was one of the largest buildings in this otherwise small city; Nishi University had about 4,000 qualifying students that took in local or outside-city graduates based on their test scores. Luckily for him, he obtained enough cash to settle in for a full year while submitting a tape of "accommodating approval." The founder of the university, Inu no Taishō Nishi, was a cultured man who took the name of 'Dog General' to represent his family's status as daimyō in this portion of Japan. Kōga's father did the exact same, and adopted the family name of Ōkami with his name being literally Ōkami no Taishō, represented by the south, Minami.

His father passed away when he was young, leaving him behind with plenty of aunts, uncles and half-brothers to care for him. None of them were father figures, but Kōga made do. He was often directly referenced as the closest in appearance and personality to their late ancestor who presumably had yōkai blood; his name also Kōga.

Traveling up to the gate, he drove by the card insert to slip his pass through. An image of his face appeared on the computer nearby followed by directions to his dorm. It was D-7, upstairs, the cheapest costing room he could afford, but he wasn't used to luxuries either way. He parked his car and and got out before letting out a breath of air outside. His hues traced over the dorm rooms down the sidewalk and noticed a few guys, all with jackets on, preparing some fish outside on a grill. The scent caused his nose to twitch, but he had to get things going.

"Haven't seen you around these parts!" a voice trailed behind him. Kōga turned to look.

"Ah. Sorry, Suikotsu. Hine Suikotsu." the male bowed quickly before offering Minami a smile. His wardrobe was all over the place; sporting khaki shorts with flip-flops and a large gray jacket with no shirt.

"Some kind of bet or what?" Kōga chuckled and bowed back. "Kōga Minami."

"You could say that. Are you a first year?"

Koga nodded. "Yeah. I think my dorm room's. . . That'a way." He pointed east.

"Excellent. I'm a first year myself. Mind if I help you out?" he asked with a happy tone, a little confusing to see off the bat from a stranger in Kōga's opinion. Still, he nodded and opened the door for the man to help him pack. The help was appreciated.

Author's Note: Obviously a story with an alternate universe, I wanted to re-create modern versions of the familiar feudal characters who were in fact claimed descendants to them. The part of Japan with the university is entirely fictional, but you can imagine it being in an inhabited spot inside Tokyo. Kōga's family will all have the last name "Minami" and InuYasha's family "Nishi" which pertain to the portion of land that their ancestor's ruled across in the past.

I hope to make this story rather lengthy, and I may include a sequel in the future if I gain the demand to pursue a sequel. Again, Kōga is attending Nishi University, which happens to be an all male's school as is Minami University. Higashi and Kita University will be mentioned, and they are all-female universities (Miroku's gotta love this, eh? Haha!) Let me know what you think. Please Review. Gracias!
