Ch.1: First Day of School

Kagome and Sango hopped off the bus and link arms as they entered their school on the first day of senior year.

"You ready Kags?" Sanyo said as they headed towards the cafeteria for their schedules.

"You know it! It's out turn to rule the school." Kagome said. The two girls waited in line and slowly made their way to the table that was handing out the small pieces of paper. Once they received their schedule for the year, Kagome and Sango made their way to a table over in the senior section of the cafeteria. The two girls were looking over their schedules when they were interrupted by a male voice.

"Good morning ladies!" Miroku said as she sat down, with his own schedule in hand, followed by Inuyasha.

"Morning!" Inuyasha said.

"Alright hand over all your schedules. I need to see who I have classes with here." Sango said holding her hand out patiently. The three friends slid their schedules over to Sango to be able to look it over.

"Perfect we all have the same exact classes. It's about time this school smartened up!" Sango laughed as she passed the papers back to their respective owners.

"Nice, this year is going to rock." Inuyasha said throwing his fist in the air in excitement. Sango rolled her eyes at his antics, Miroku just chuckled. Kagome looked longingly at Inuyasha as she laughed. Kagome felt something brush her leg breaking her from her stupor. She looked over to Sango who was giving her a look. After realizing that she was probably staring Kagome nodded to her best friend. Inuyasha being oblivious to the entire situation, looked toward the door waiting for his Girlfriend to get to school.

"So Inuyasha, where is Kikyo?" Sango asked as she took a notebook that she shared with Kagome out of her book bag.

"She missed the bus this morning and is having her mom drop her off. She'll be here soon!" Inuyasha answered continuing to stare at the door, as he missed Kagome roll her eyes.

"Anyway, how were you guys' weekend?" Miroku asked as he moved his chair closer to Sango.

"Ours was alright?" Sango said referencing hers and Kagome's weekend.

"Mine was alright, Kikyo and I celebrated our year anniversary. I took her too…" Inuyasha began before Sango interrupted him.

"No one cares, we don't like her." Sango never once looked up from her notebook, until she felt the eyes of her friends on her. "What? We don't"

" I don't know why you guys don't like her, she's done nothing wrong." Inuyasha said looking to his friends sighing. He wanted his friends and his girlfriend to get along. It was tough being with someone his friends didn't want to be around.

"Well Inuyasha if you must know…" Miroku was interrupted by Sango's elbow in his stomach. "Never mind". Inuyasha just looked between his friends with suspicion. Mainly since Kagome hasn't input a word into the current situation. When he went to question it, his loving Girlfriend made her appearance.

"Hey guys. Inuyasha" Kikyo said as she kissed Inuyasha passionately. Kagome felt like she had to hold down her breakfast. Sango saw her friend turning green and tried not to laugh at the situation.

"What classes do you guys have?" Kikyo asked as she pulled out her own schedule.

"We all have the same classes, let me see your schedule." Inuyasha said as he looked over the piece of paper.

"Looks like we only have Gym together babe." Inuyasha said sounding slightly defeated. Kagome, Miroku and Sango could not have been more elated. The three of them couldn't stand the girl, due to Kagome's strong feelings for the Hanyou. Though Inuyasha didn't know it.

"That's alright, we can always see each other in the hall, or after school". Kikyo said hiding her disappointment. It seemed fate did not want her in any of her boyfriends classes and she wouldn't have cared to much, but that girl Kagome was in everyone of her man's classes. She knew the girl had feelings for Inuyasha, and she already had to deal with him being close friends with her, let alone spending all day with her. Kikyo sighed, there was nothing she could really do about it. Just as she finished her thoughts the bell rang signaling the start of the school day. The cafeteria slowly emptied as all the students headed to their lockers allowing them to put their book bags away. The small group of four friends headed to their lockers on the first floor art hallway corridor. Inuyasha and Kagome had lockers on the right side of the Hallway, while Sango and Miroku had lockers on the left.

"Ready for the first class of senior year?" Inuyasha asked Kagome as she finished up putting her stuff in her locker.

"Yea I am. Photo was a fun class last year can't wait to see what we learn this year!" Kagome said as they met up with Sango and Miroku in the middle of the hall and headed to the last door on the left hand side of the hallway. Being that Sango and Miroku had been dating since Freshman year the two sat at a desk together near the window, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome to take the desk next to them. Not that anyone was complaining. They were all a tight knit group, and they got along perfectly. Kagome just hoped Inuyasha saw that she was meant for him and not Kikyo, so he didn't have to divide his time between them and Kikyo. Their photography teacher Mr. Myoga finally made an appearance after the second bell rang.

"Good Morning Class! It is good to see you all again. Hope you had a great summer. Once the morning announcements are over we will continue on our journey in the art of photography". Once Mr. Myoga finished his little speech the announcements came over the PA system. No one ever listened to the morning announcements, and those fifteen minutes were spent with quite chatter throughout the classroom.

"Hey Kagome!" Kouga, called to her from the desk behind her and Inuyasha. Kouga was the Captain of the Football Team and had, had a crush on Kagome since freshman year. Kagome turned to look at him with a friendly smile that she gave to everyone. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Kagome responded.

"Hey Kouga, how was your summer?" She asked genuinely.

"It was great. Wanted to let you know the annual beginning of the year party is this Friday. You and your friends are more than welcome to come." He said handing here a printed out flier with the party information on it.

"Thank you, we'll be there!" Kagome said turning around looking at the invitation better.

"What did wolf boy want?" Inuyasha asked rudely not liking that Kagome was talking to his sworn enemy.

"He wanted to invite us all to the beginning of the year party Friday night." Kagome said rolling her eyes with a smile. She loved that he always sounded jealous when her Kouga had a conversation. It let her have a little hope that there was some sort of connection between her and Inuyasha, and that she had somewhat of a chance with him.

"Sounds like he invited you, and Sango, Miroku and I are the consolation prize". Inuyasha said rudely again as he turned away from her. Kagome just laughed as she handed the invite over to Sango and Miroku who were listening to their friend's conversation. Sango just winked at Kagome knowing all too well that the smile on her face was due to the hangout's jealous streak.

When Mr. Myoga was settled and ready to begin class he handed out fresh Steno pads to all the kids in class. He went over the rules of the class and for the use of the dark room, before he went into his boring lecture refreshing the class on the beginner's procedures they had learned in their junior year. Finally the bell rang signaling the end of the two period class.

"God, I can not wait until we start developing film and shit in that class, that's the only reason I like that class," Miroku said as the four headed down the Hallway to their third period History Class. The girls sat together in the last row, while the boys sat next to the in the row next to them.

"The only thing I like about the first week of school is that there really is now homework, and being that we are seniors and most of our classes are electives we will have a stress free year." Sango said as she leaned back in her chair waiting for class to start. Their teacher Mr. Totosai walked in just before the second bell, and took out a DVD from his bag.

"Good morning class, hope you all had a good summer, since it's the first day I figured we would take it easy and you guys can start watching a documentary on the Feudal Era of Japan". The class cheered as they put their supplies away under the desk. Miroku and Inuyasha both had the same idea; they laid their heads down trying to go to sleep. Sango took out the same notebook she had out earlier and continued to read and write in it, while Kagome sat with her head on her hand waiting for the movie to start. She was quite fascinated with Feudal Japan and she was excited they were watching a documentary about it. After forty minutes, the bell rang and Miroku and Inuyasha both jumped up after being interrupted from their nap. Kagome and Sango laughed at the two as they collected their things and waited at the door for the slowpokes to catch up. The quartet fought their way through freshman and sophomores as they made their way to their fourth period math class. They actually had assigned seats in this class and Miroku and Kagome ended up sitting together while Sango and Inuyasha were on the opposite side of the room.

"Um I think this teacher didn't get the memo." Miroku said looking forlornly at his girlfriend from across the room.

"I am sure you can survive one class without being by her side." Kagome said giggling at her friend's dramatics.

"I doubt it my dear Kagome, I really do doubt it." He said with sigh as he drooped lower in his seat. In Miroku's opinion Math was the longest period of the day. He could not wait for the bell to ring, and class to be over. That meant he could be next to his girl again and that it was also time for lunch. The bell finally rang and Miroku jumped out of his seat as he rushed over to Sango giving her a quick kiss on her cheek.

"God I missed you so much!" Miroku said as if he hadn't seen her in a week.

"Miroku you were across the room!" Sango laughed at the incredulous actions of her boyfriend. This caused Inuyasha to roll his eyes as they exited the classroom and approached their lockers.

"At least your girlfriend is in all of your classes!" Inuyasha said as he sighed longing for Kikyo while he put his books in his locker. Kagome rolled her eyes, as she finished putting away her old books and taking out the ones needed for her classes after lunch. Kagome slammed her locker and turned heading for the cafeteria.

"What's her problem?" Miroku asked as he and Sango had turned to walk with Kagome and Inuyasha to the Cafeteria.

"No Idea!" Inuyasha replied unaware that Kagome had heard him complaining about not seeing Kikyo. Sango looked accusingly at Inuyasha before she followed after her friend into the cafeteria, with her boyfriend and her friend trailing behind her. When the now trio entered the Cafeteria they spotted their raven haired friend at a table by the window in their section of the cafeteria, behind chatted up by none other then Kouga.

"Damn wolf doesn't take a hint does he?" Inuyasha growled as they made their way over to the table.

"Now now Inuyasha, one might mistake you for being jealous!" Sango teased as she walked ahead. Miroku laughed, and Inuyasha Snorted at the idea of it.

"Feh! Me Jealous of the wolf shit? I don't think so. I just don't like his reputation, and he is definitely not going to be pushy and womanizing our Kagome! I'll be damned." Inuyasha said. Miroku being the only one around laughed again.

"Whatever you say buddy." Miroku said as they two gentleman of the group finally sat down.

"So Kagome I was wondering if you had wanted me to pick you up Friday for the party?" Kouga asked noticing that Inuyasha and Miroku had joined the table.

"Um, I appreciate the offer Kouga, but…" Kagome started a blush evident on her cheeks, but she was interrupted by the gruff voice of her best friend Inuyasha.

"…But she is coming to your party with me Wolfie." Inuyasha said glaring at the Football star daring him to argue. Kagome just looked over to the white haired boy in shock, figuring he'd want to take his darling Kikyo.

"Figured you'd be off with your girl there dog breath!" Kouga said glaring just as intensely at Inuyasha, as Inuyasha was at Kouga. Kagome looked between the two alpha figures that were situated on either side of her. Not wanting to get involved in their staring match. Sango and Miroku sat back and watched with amusement. Inuyasha was totally dense to not realize how jealous he was being even though he had a girlfriend.

"I am but I picking up Kagome too, got a problem with that?" Inuyasha said as he leaned forward on the table slightly daring Kouga to come back at him. Though Kouga was nowhere ready to back down, but it seemed that Kagome had other plans.

"Boys, boys! Now there will be no fighting over little old me, do you understand!" Kagome said with a smirk feeling important that these two were literally arguing over her.

"Feh! Who's fighting over you wench? Just telling wolf boy here how it is!" Inuyasha said still holding the glare of Kouga unaware of the girls mood change.

"Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are dog boy? Not only do you not own me, but also you have a Girlfriend whose name is Kikyo NOT Kagome! I will make my own decisions and if I decide to go to this party with Kouga there is nothing you can say or do about it!" Kagome said glaring at the boy to her left. "Do I make myself clear." The anger radiating of Kagome come out in waves. Inuyasha turned his angry glare from Kouga to Kagome and swallowed as he felt the fire in her eyes.

"But Kagome…" Inuyasha started before he was interrupted.

"But Kagome nothing, Do I Make myself clear, or did you forget that I am the single one in this group here?" She asked again leaving no room for argument.

"No I didn't forget wench." Inuyasha said defeated. Kouga smirked triumphantly at the Hanyou as the girl between them defeated him. She really was something else, and he would have her as his.

"So I'll pick you up at 7'o'clock Friday then Kagome?" Kouga asked tearing his eyes off of Inuyasha and turned a sweet glare to the girl.

"That sounds perfect" Kagome said sweetly. Inuyasha was furious at the moment with the girl. Did she not understand the reputation this guy had? He used and abused women! Inuyasha would never allow that to happen to Kagome. She is one of the sweetest and nicest people he knew! Inuyasha growled to himself as he watched Kouga wave as he left their table.

"You sure you know what your doing Kagome?" Sango asked worried slightly for her friend. She would not hesitate to beat the hell out of Kouga if he decided to get to pushy with her friend there. Miroku was thinking along the same lines as well. No one in the group liked the decision of their Single friend, but no one was going to try and stop her either. After Kouga left conversation got back to normal, though Inuyasha was still pissed at the earlier conversation, he didn't bring it back up. Unfortunately Kagome had been right. He was with Kikyo therefore; him telling her she couldn't go to the party with Kouga made him a hypocrite. Inuyasha knew Kagome had a crush on him; he wasn't as stupid as he made himself out to be. He too, had feelings for Kagome, but he was with Kikyo and he did actually love Kikyo and didn't want to break up with her to be with Kagome. So he'll stay with Kikyo as long as she'll have him, but also wanted to try and keep Kagome in his pocket on the off chance he and Kikyo didn't work out. Inuyasha knew it was selfish, but he wasn't about to let Kagome walk out of his life just yet either.

"Inuyasha!" Sango's voice brought him back into the conversation he was missing due to his thoughts.

"What?" Inuyasha asked looking at her as he noticed the cafeteria was slowly emptying.

"The bell rang, come on. We have gym now!" She said as she caught up to Miroku and Kagome who were by the back entrance to the cafeteria waiting. Inuyasha got up and followed his friends into the gym. Being they never dressed out the first day, they all sat on the bleachers together, waiting for the gym teachers. As soon as Kikyo walked into the gym she spotted Inuyasha and made her way towards the four friends.

"Hey guys! How's your day so far?" She asked as she kissed Inuyasha on the lips before sitting next to him.

"Fine" Sango said looking to Miroku and Kagome for agreement. The two nodded as the three of them started their own conversation excluding Inuyasha and Kikyo.

"Did you see how mad he got over that last period?" Kagome asked her best friend and her boyfriend.

"Yeah we did! I have to agree with him though Kagome. You know Koura's reputation." Miroku said looking at her sincerely, showing how much he worries for her. Kagome smiled at her friends boyfriends concern.

"I know you two worry, and I appreciate it, but I am a big girl. Besides we are going from my house to the party where the three of you will be. I'll have my cell phone handy if anything happens. I promise I will be careful!" Kagome swore. Her two friends eased up on their worry slightly.

"O.K As long as you promise to be careful. I don't want to have to beat up the Captain of the Football team because he wants to be a douche," Sango said with a smile, causing Kagome to laugh.

"I promise Sango." Kagome said with a smile. She loved that her friends worried for her, and she did know of Kouga's reputation. She was just tired of Inuyasha acting like her overprotective boyfriend when he wasn't. She was the fifth wheel and it made her feel really lonely. She loved her friends but there is so much romantic coupley things you can tag along on and not begin to feel lonely. Kagome decided it was time she found a boyfriend of her own. The gym teacher finally made an appearance and began to blow the whistle to catch the class's attention.

"Good afternoon seniors! As you know I am Coach Abihime, and this is your final year of gym. Congratulations. By now you all should know all of my rules and regulations, and I expect them to be followed. We will be changing out tomorrows class be sure you have your uniforms ready to go. You can continue with your free period today, grading starts tomorrow!" The coach said as she blew her whistle again, before heading back to her office. Inuyasha and Kikyo turned to Inuyasha three other friends.

"So Inuyasha tells me we were all invited to the Beginning of the Year Party on Friday?" Kikyo asked looking at Kagome. Kagome nodded trying to be civil, but having nothing nice to say.

"Cool! First party of the year should be fun!" Kikyo said with a smile. Kagome and Sango could tell it was a fake smile and rolled their eyes. Inuyasha, ever oblivious was glad that it seemed his friends and his girlfriend was getting along.

"Can't wait!" Sango said with the same fake smile. She looked at Kagome and laughed incredulously. This girl had some nerve. Kagome just shook her head. Poor Miroku was stuck in the middle and couldn't do much for the situation. He didn't want to offend Inuyasha by not liking his girlfriend so he tried to not say anything when Kikyo was around. The bell for the end of the period rang bringing them to their last class of the day, Chemistry. Kikyo kissed Inuyasha goodbye as they left the gym and the four remaining friends walked to the third floor. Once inside the class room the group sat at a lab table the fit all of them. The teacher was already in the room pouring different colored liquids into other colored liquids.

"Come in, take a seat and once the bell rings give me your undivided attention. The group you are with the today will be your lab group for the rest of the year so chose wisely," The teacher instructed as students came into the class.

"Good thing we got here when we did." Miroku said with a smile. The others smiled with him in agreement. Their chemistry class was the best class they had all day. Their teacher, Mr. Jaken was funny and easy to make fun of. The bell rang dismissing the class and allowing the students to begin their way home. Sango, Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha made it to their lockers and got out their book bags. They made their way to the bus and got on. Sitting in the very back of the bus the four sat in four different seats. Kagome took the little one-person seat near the back emergency exit, while Sango sat across from her. Miroku and Inuyasha each had a seat in front of the girls Miroku in front of Sango and Inuyasha in front of Kagome.

"So want to hangout when we get home?" Miroku asked his three friends as the bus began pulling away from the school. Sango nodded as she took out her iPod, and Kagome shrugged her shoulders. Miroku looked to Inuyasha who shook his head.

"Sorry I have plans with Kikyo, going to have to rain check that" Inuyasha said apologetically. Miroku shrugged in understanding. He got why Inuyasha blew them off sometimes but didn't mean he liked it.

The four friends got to their bus stop and got off the buss together. Inuyasha began walking away from his friends as he went home to go meet up with Kikyo.

"See you tomorrow guys! Call me later!" He yelled as he walked off toward his house. Sango Miroku and Kagome waved as they watched him walk away.

"So what do you two lovely ladies want to do then?" Miroku asked wagging his eyebrows. Sango smacked her boyfriend over the head as Kagome laughed.

"Your such a pervert Miroku." She laughed and kissed his cheek before she grabbed his hand.

"I think I am just going to go home, you two enjoy your afternoon." Kagome said as she took off towards her home. Leaving her best friend alone with her boyfriend. When Kagome finally got to her house she unlocked the door and let herself in. She found a note on the fridge from her mother.

Kagome

Went upstate with your grandparents; we'll be gone for a week! There's money in the drawer, your brother is with your aunt. See you next Tuesday!

-Love,

Mom

"Nice!" Kagome said with a smile. The whole house to herself for a whole week. She loved it when her mom pulled this kind of thing. It gave her a little more freedom. After Kagome made herself dinner and cleaned up and took a shower, Kagome laid across her bed. Going over her first day of school she couldn't help but laugh at how jealous Inuyasha had been at lunch.

"That boy needs to figure out his feelings, before he tries to start barking orders" Kagome said to herself. Kagome began to drift of to sleep, dreaming of a world where Inuyasha was her boyfriend.
