Chapter 1- Her Life

"Kagome! Are you ready for school?! It's time for you to go!" a voice called from down stairs of an old looking home. The shrine had an upstairs, along with a shrine containing an old looking well, a building for storage outside as well.

Kagome had just finished getting dressed in her new uniform as she pulled on her socks, and she headed down stairs silently with her school bags. She looked to find that her mother was with her boyfriend again, in the kitchen talking and making out. Her mother looked so naively happy with this man. Kagome knew that it was naïve from her own experience.

Her mother noticed her and smiled. "I hope you have a good day at your new school." She told her softly, comfortingly. But Kagome could see the emotion her mother was trying to hide from her, in her eyes. She was upset that Kagome had changed and was beginning to lose hope for her daughter. The only hope she had in her eyes, was to start again with the man in her arms.

Kagome just nodded once and left the old shabby shrine. The house itself wasn't very well taken care of. It was falling apart and looking old now. She looked back briefly, seeing all the over grown grass and weeds in the cracks of the cement path. The roof tiles were falling off, the only thing that remained the same from before the man had come, was the Sacred Tree and the well inside the well house. She sighed ever so softly, then walked to her new school.

Her mom, Erica, had a demon for a boyfriend. And he really looked the part that a demon was supposed to. His long dark hair was a little wavy and his cloths dark and loose to a certain point, but still able to look like it wasn't that loose. But what made him the part best, was his dark voice, red eyes, and the evil laugh. He told her mother that his name was Onigumo, however, Kagome did some research two months ago and found that his real name now is Naraku, the man with the most criminal record known in every aspect of criminal and as dangerous as one could get.

Kagome had desperately tried to tell her mother a week later of what she had discovered, hoping to get the man out of their life and fast. But unfortunately, her mother had left for an appointment with the dentist. That was when that everything about Kagome changed.

Kagome didn't dare say anything around her mother and Naraku anymore. Nor did she dare think about that time. Her eyes now, were a dull brown, not as lively as they were three months ago. Kagome never talked to any of her old friends that much and her ex-boyfriend Hojo had enough of talking to an unresponsive girl and left her, never looking back. Her friends eventually stopped talking to her, and migrated with other people. Kagome just stayed quiet, watching as her old life slowly became a wishful thought.

Last week was when Erica decided to send Kagome to a new school. It had both demons and humans there. Kagome wasn't really keen on the idea of going to a school where demons went and fought against the idea for most of the week. However, as soon as Naraku stepped in when he over heard them, the fight quickly ended with Kagome going silent and nodding. She was glad that her little brother was living with his friends right now, she didn't want him to see what was going on in the shrine any more than she wanted to be there.

Kagome stopped at the gates of the new school, staring at it with dull eyes, gazing at the building and then the people in the field in front of it. She was already feeling the hairs on her arms stand up as soon as she stopped there. There were demons everywhere and from the looks of it, a lot of them, and not very many humans were hanging around them.

Kagome stiffened slightly when she saw several humans and demons look at her as if they could smell her fear. She speedily hide her emotions from her appearance and quickly went inside the gates and inside the building to the front office for her schedule, keeping her eyes down towards the ground. She didn't notice the group by a cherry tree, watching her with confused looks.

Kagome went into the front office silently and looked around stiffly. She saw several more demons but they were there for bad behavior, seeing as they were in an area that said detention. She went to the front desk and the old woman looked up surprised, having not noticed her before.

"Can I help you dear?" the lady said, smiling kindly.

"I'm new here." Kagome said softly, in a barely audible tone, hiding her eyes behind her bangs.

"I'm sorry?" the lady asked since she couldn't hear very well.

Kagome looked up at her and repeated what she said a bit louder. "I'm new here."

"Oh, you must be the new priestess girl, Kagome Higurashi." The lady replied, looking through some papers on her desk, seemingly excited.

Kagome only nodded, feeling really uncomfortable around this woman, who seemed too cheerful and happy. Kagome couldn't help but think of her old life and friends and how she used to be that happy.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Kiade. I have your schedule right here." Kiade handed her a few pieces of paper. "I would also like you to have your teachers sign this paper and bring it back at the end of school." She handed Kagome another one.

Kagome nodded silently as she took it and stacked it with the rest of the papers.

"Do you need a map to find your classes?" Kiade asked concerned, noticing that she wasn't very responsive or asking questions.

"I'm sure I can find them alright." Kagome replied, looking back down.

"I can take her to her classes today." A voice from behind offered.

Kagome turned to the voice while Kiade looked up at the person. Kagome's eyes widened to find that it was a full demon. The demon had black hair in a high ponytail with a fur band around his head. He wore an armor type shirt and had fur for his kilt. (?) And also had fur around his calves and arm. His eyes were blue. His face was full of emotion. He had the appearance of a wolf.

"Thank you Koga. But I'm sure someone who isn't as hot-headed as you could do a better job at showing her where to go rather than flirting so she won't know where to go tomorrow." Kiade said sternly.

Koga crossed his arms. "You old hag, I don't flirt with every woman I see."

Kagome stayed silent, frozen scared, thinking that he was like Naraku. She saw another demon stand up.

"Then since she would like to know on the first day where her classes are, I can take the girl there." The silver haired demon said emotionlessly.

Kagome took in this demons appearance now. He was full demon, silver hair, two line marks on both sides of his face and a crescent moon on his forehead. His eyes were amber and calculating. He had a white outfit with armor as well, along with a fur tail like thing around his arm and shoulder and hanging down. She could tell that this one was even more dangerous than the wolf demon who spoke up because he didn't show his emotions freely. She couldn't tell what type of demon he was though….just like Naraku.

Kiade nodded a bit relieved. "Thank you Sesshoumaru, I trust you better than I do Koga." She looked at Kagome now and saw plain fear and shock of the two demons. "Do not worry Kagome, Sesshoumaru and Koga won't hurt you unless you anger them. Sesshoumaru doesn't get angry easily unless it's his brother."

Sesshoumaru looked at Kiade. "Half-brother, Kiade." He corrected sternly.

Kagome turned and bowed to Kiade a little showing her thanks, a bit relieved that Kiade trusted Sesshoumaru not to hurt her. Though she was still deathly scared. "Thank you, Lady Kiade." She said softly again, hopefully softly enough that the demons didn't hear but Kiade could. Not likely though.

Kiade smiled and nodded, then she returned to work.

Kagome could feel the two demons watching her now and immediately wished that she could leave, she knew that the one called Sesshoumaru was only watching curiously, in a way, while the wolf Koga was watching with hunger. She shivered a little and turned to walk out.

"Koga, you need to stay here, remember?" Kiade said as she noticed that Koga turned to follow Kagome.

Koga grumbled but listened while Sesshoumaru followed her.

Kagome looked at her schedule to find that her first class was Reading in room 403. She practically jumped when she heard Sesshoumaru start talking.

"Let me see your schedule." He ordered softly.

Kagome gave it to him quickly as if by reflex, not looking at him.

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow slightly at her behavior, but then looked at the schedule. "Your first class is down the third hall to the right, it is right next to my class. I'll show you your next class after it's over." He said emotionlessly still. It never changed in tone it seemed to her. Sesshoumaru held the paper to her.

Kagome nodded quietly and took the paper carefully, keeping her eyes on her feet or a little further on the floor only looking up when he spoke.

"So you're name is Kagome Higurashi right?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Kagome nodded once.

"Why did you come here if you are so uncomfortable with demons?" Sesshoumaru asked watching her reaction.

Kagome tensed a little. "….My mother…transferred me here…" she said quietly. If he weren't a demon he would've never heard her.

"Why?"

"Because…" Kagome started.

Sesshoumaru stopped and looked at her. "Kagome, it is rude not to look at the person you're talking to." He pointed out.

Kagome stopped too and turned to look at him and quickly bowed apologetically. "I'm sorry!" She said quickly.

"Hey, quit picking on the poor girl Sesshoumaru!" A voice called from behind Kagome.

Kagome noticed that Sesshoumaru looked slightly annoyed and tensed immensely. And she stood up straight.

"I'm not, Inuyasha. Besides you don't even know what's going on." Sesshoumaru replied, just slight annoyance in his voice.

Kagome saw something red stop beside her. She turned her head slightly to see who it was. She could definitely tell that this person was a demon. He had silver hair like Sesshoumaru's and amber eyes, with dog like ears on his head. He had a red hori and red hakamas, and was bare foot, but there were some similarities between him and Sesshoumaru, such as the hair and eyes. She stiffened even more when she realized that this was the half-brother that Sesshoumaru got angry easily with.

"Um… I will just head for my class. I'll see you after class, Sesshoumaru-sama…" Kagome bowed again as if she was sorry and quickly left.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the new girl. "Who was she?"

"That is the new priestess transfer, Ms. Higuarashi." Sesshoumaru replied also watching her.

"She afraid of demons and half-demons or something?" Inuyasha asked curious.

"It would appear so."

"Then why is she here?" Inuyasha turned back to his brother.

"Her mother transferred her here."

"Pfft, obviously her mother knows nothing about her daughter if she's scared of us." Inuyasha replied, crossing his arms confidently. "But since she's here, I'm going to cure her of her fear." Inuyasha went after the girl.

Sesshoumaru just followed to get to his class. Behind his calm exterior, he was also curious as to why Kagome was so afraid of demons and the mystery behind it.
