Hey everybody, I started this story, and I know it has been done a lot, but I have always wanted to write a story based on Inuyasha and his heritage, and if I see this story is a success, then I shall carry on ;)

Summary:Inuyasha is a college student, a half-breed and bullied severely by classmates, with no family, with no means of survival other than a part-time job as a bar tender. He is against the world, and hides himself. However what happens when all of a sudden a new student Kagome enters, and fights to prove to him wrong, and both slowly start to fall in love. Fluff/romance/hurt comfort.

I was walking down the corridors, I had my red jumper on with my hoodie up to cover my ears. I didn't want to have to suffer another day of torment, I just wanted to go through one day without any interruptions, or arguments, a day without insults. I put my hands in my black jeans, and held my books tightly in my hand. I licked my lips once as I pulled on my hood further so it could hide my face even more. I didn't want to see anybody, and I didn't want anybody to see me.

As I was walking towards my locker, I could see so many demons everywhere who all had women hanging off of them. I cringed, I never understood why so many women, being human or demon would always tag or follow demons around, when they were they worst type of boyfriends, mates anybody could have. Pure demon males would always use women for sex or just for a good night. Most demon females already knew this fact, but it was in their nature to allow their alpha to be dominant, however many demons would take advantage of human girls who were more innocent, and had more feelings than the normal female demons. Human women were very vulnerable and easy to break, however demons found a way to take sickening pleasure in that. Yet all the women went for them anyway.

I shook my head, however with me...I'm different. You see I'm not full demon or human, I'm both. Or half-breed as most people love to call it. Why? Because my demon father mated my human mother, and sadly died when I was born, leaving my mother alone with me. However she then became fatally ill because her mate was gone, and so as the usual mating ritual she had died shortly after. Since then I have moved from one foster home to another. However once I turned 18 I left the foster homes, and found a small restaurant and worked as a bar tender part-time.

However ever since I had started school, I had become the centre of attention. But not in a good way. Oh no, in the worst way ever imaginable. I was popular for my race, for the kind that I was. The fact that I was a mixture of both human and demon, the fact that I tainted the world, allowed people to hurt me. Why people hated hanyou's as I'm called, I would never know. But one thing I can say, is that I am bullied by both races. Both human and demon. Humans are scared of me, because not only am I demon, but since I'm not full there's no telling what I could accidentally become. However I am shunned by demons because they say that I am pathetic because I have human blood running through my veins, causing me to be weak and useless in their eyes.

As I walked down another corridor of the college, I had seen many demons and humans conversing, some sexually, some casually. And once I reached my locker, I growled quietly under my breath. My locker was always the beaten up one. My locker was always the one with the bangs, the scratches, the bolts, the graffiti. Words so horrible I can even say them. As I walked over to it, I could hear and see people snickering behind me, and other people whispering. However I then get Koga, a wolf demon prince as he calls himself. He thinks he is so macho and strong because he is one of the most fastest and most competitive demons in this school.

But also the one, that always tries to find trouble.

I punched my locker as the door snapped open, and I grabbed one yellow book for science, and one blue for english. However I then felt a tap on my shoulder, and I growl as I try to ignore it.

"Oi Inu-Trasha, why you still here. Shouldn't you be in some zoo cleaning shit or something" Koga said as he leaned against the locker. I growled under my breath.

"Fuck off wolf shit I don't have time for your attitude" I said as I slammed the locker door shut and tried to walk off but got held back from a hand on his shoulder, from none other than Koga.

"Oi I ain't done with ya mutt. Why are you always running away eh? Too chicken to fight me?" Koga said with a smirk.

I growled again "No because I am not going to beat up some wolf turd that is going to go back home and cry to his mummy" I said, however Koga kicked me in the back, and I growled as I turned around and punched him in the face once, but then a teacher arrived and stopped us.

"Oi break it up you two! Break it up!" A P.E teacher said as he tried to hold back Koga.

I just huffed and grabbed my bag "Whatever. I don't need this shit" And I didn't. I didn't need anymore of this crap, I only had one more year to go. It was currently september and classes started a week ago. And as I walked further I kept hearing Koga's threats.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU HALF-BREED. I SWEAR!" Koga shouted.

I just tightened my hand on my hoodie as I covered my face even more, my fangs biting my tongue to try to stop myself from saying anything. I entered my class which was home room since the morning had just started, and I instantly walked over to the furthest row seat in the corner by the window away from everyone. I threw my bag on the desk and saw all the scribbles and notes stuck on the desk.

'Go die half-breed'

'Your mother deserved to die!'

'Go live your own pathetic life half-breed'

'No-one needs you!'

I growled so much and crushed the papers in balls and threw them out the window. I sit down and shake my leg. I wouldn't even be in school if I didn't need my qualifications. I was interested in english, literature, poetry. I became interested in it, when I found that it was the only way to express my feelings freely, one of the only ways that I could tell my deepest thoughts and dreams, where no-one could read them or hear them. Where it was my own personal place to just express myself without a care in the world. Sometimes I feel that the pen and paper understand me better than actual living people.

I wanted to become a famous poet, or writer of some sort. An author that can talk about pain, and suffering, and hopefully able to help out any other unfortunate souls such as myself in the world, get over their fear of being alone, or fear of being neglected. I whimpered a little, it was the usual to be honest. No family would hold a hanyou child, they would be disgusted to even have one in the same house as them. No family would love and feed a hanyou child willingly, why there is so many homeless children around...all being hanyous more than anything.

Everyday I always wonder what my life would be like. In my head, I would live alone. I would be alone, grow old alone, and die alone. Would I get a lousy job and live in a place all on my own? With no family to feed? or anybody to come back home too? Without a nice plate full of warm home cooked food, no sound of little running feet anywhere. My shaking stopped...Nobody to say I love you to? Yeah sure when I was in secondary school I had always dreamed of a girlfriend, a girl whom I could share all my thoughts and feelings with. A girl who could understand me and above all accept me for what I am. A girl who stood out from the rest, and stood up for herself, that was strong-minded, full of spirit, life and courage. However when I started school, all I saw were money gold digging whores, who practically became mistresses to all the alpha demon males.

Soon I realised and learnt, that no matter how much I believed and wished for a life with a girl by my side...It would never happen. No-body would want a half-breed as a mate or lover of sort, an outcast, a loner. I learnt that the hard way. I was getting annoyed, I wiggled my ears under the hood, the fact that I had to stick them backwards pained me. My ears wanted to be free, they wanted to be able to hear freely. But also from experience in primary, I learnt to keep them at bay. Keep them away from people who would tug, throw, and cut at them.

My ears were my most sensitive part of my body, and the most painful, so I had to protect them the best way that I could. And that was by hiding them. I live in a one bedroom apartment all on my own, on a run down street, with a good enough rent from my salary, and just enough room for a pathetic excuse of a being like me to live in.

Soon the home room teacher Mr. Myoga came into the lesson and slammed the books down onto the desk. "Morning everyone!" He said as he grinned. I just rolled my eyes and looked out the window still trying to piece my pathetic excuse of a life together. I turned to see the seat next to me empty. Off course no-one would want to sit next to me. I just leaned back on my chair, placed my hands in my pockets, and looked up at the sky, completely ignoring the teachers orders for taking of my hoodie, however eventually he gave up. The teachers didn't care anymore, they knew I wouldn't listen. I'd do the work and hand it in, get good grades and bugger off.

As I kept looking at the sky, I kept wondering how it would feel to be a cloud. Being free, and just going wherever the wind takes me. To just look down at everyone and live a peaceful quiet life. I then got an idea in my head and took out my notepad and pen and jotted down some new sentences to this one poem that I was currently working on...I didn't have a title for it yet, but I wanted this to be my best poem out of all the couple of hundreds ive written since primary. It would usually take me months to write just one, but I had a feeling that this was going to be one of my treasured ones.

Once when I was little innocence blinded me from the world

I was happy and carefree

I used to run around laughing, hoping to give people happiness

I used to play games

And smile all the time, even if I never received one back

I used to feel on top of the world when everything was fine

But it was easy how people could stab you in the back

And that once happy face

Turned into a solemn frown...

However as I jotted down the next sentence, our home room teacher spoke.

"Okay everyone, now that the register is taken care off"

Huh? register, he did the register? Oh well.

"We will be having a new student here with us"

I lifted my head a little. A new student? Well that's just great, more pricks to add to this fucked up school. And then I realised that a scent started to tingle my nose. My nose twitched from side to side, as I closed my eyes. Oh god what was that smell? I took another whiff of it, and smelt lilacs, and jasmines. My hand stopped jotting down words. Stopped writing, and stopped any sort of motion. All my concentration was now focused on the smell. That scent that was so captivating, why was it so strong though? Why was it so alluring, so intoxicating. I couldn't concentrate on anything, the only thing I was focused on was that scent.

"Now please give her a warm welcome. Miss Higurashi if you may come in"

And just like that, the scent that caught me by surprise, belonged to an ebony haired female that had appeared in the doorway. And good god was she beautiful. I saw her walk in slowly and swiftly, her steps meek and quiet, and her eyes stuck on the ground. So she was a shy type. However once she stepped into the classroom, I was taken aback. Her scent was strong, and very much appealing. Why was it effecting me so much? However when she spoke her voice was like none other that I had ever heard before. It was angelic, soft, calming, and just pure addicting. "Please introduce yourself to the class" Mr. Myoga said as he indicated his hand towards the class from the girl's point of view.

I saw her cheeks burn up, her body posture tense, her hands tightly squeezing her neatly books, as her beautiful soft looking ebony hair waved behind her, her fringe framing her face and forehead beautifully. She was wearing a pair of white skinny jeans, with a black button down top and a pair of black flats, her hair was down, and from what I could see she had no make-up whatsoever.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi, and I hope to be able to get along with everyone"

Kagome was her name eh? I snorted a little, just because her scent was a little alluring and just the girl in general was as hot as hell, and had the voice of an angel, didn't mean that she was of kind heart. I gave up trusting people too easily, however I couldn't help but feel that this girl for whatever reason would be different. Soon enough though I heard other hungry, horny demons around the room talk and oogle her, and I rolled my eyes as I leaned back, all the while my eyes were looking straight towards her. And then when she raised her head, that's when my eyes widened a little.

Her eyes were the most beautiful hue of chocolate-brown I had ever seen in my life. They were so hypnotizing, I saw her look around cautiously, but then her eyes fell onto mine and my heart stopped. Why I don't know...but it stopped. My eyes widened a fraction as I heard her gasp. I saw her blush and her eyes looking at the ground again.

Did I just make her blush? This girl is weird.

However her scent was surrounding me like a blanket. And When Mr Myoga advised her to sit next to me...that's when I panicked. I didn't like people too close, mainly because I liked being alone, I liked my space, away from everyone where I could whine and be on my own, without help from anybody. I didn't need anybody, however she was coming ever so closer and that was starting to make me uncomfortable. Mainly because her scent was too addicting that it was making me feel dizzy. And just as Myoga said that, I saw her body sway here and there in between desks, until she reached the empty one next to me.

I saw her ebony hair sway gently behind her with some strands that were fanning over her shoulder. She flipped her fringe once before placing her books gently on the desk and moving her chair causing it to make a creaking sound. I rolled my eyes as I tried to ignore her. Tried, being the obvious word here. I tried everything I could to not notice her, however it proving futile as I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I didn't turn around. I didn't care, and I certainly was not starting to care now. I then felt the tap again, and as I tightened the strings to my hoodie, making sure to cover my eyes and shadow my face, I turned around hoping to scare her off, however all I saw was a gentle smile that was on her cherry red lips, and her hand that was outstretched a little for me to shake.

I looked from the hand to her, making sure she didn't see me fully, and snort as I turn my head away.

"Pst I'm Kagome, who are you?"

I ignored her however, refusing to speak to her, refusing to even remember she was sitting right next to me. In the desk where so many have refused because the disgusting half-breed was beside it. I just kept ignoring. Eventually I heard her huff and closed my eyes a little before opening them again, and finally she gave up. I didn't want to have to suffer anymore poking or shaking for the rest of this dumb class.

Soon the bell rang, and as I saw student's leave quickly so they could get on time for their second lesson, I saw her standing there. Most of my view being blocked by my hoodie. Another reason why I keep my hoodie up, is because of my hair. I inherited my silver hair from my dad, since all Inu's have silver hair, I got passed down the gene. And because it stood out so much, it caused a lot of attention to be put on me, and then I'd just get noticed, which is what I didn't want.

However as I stood up and packed away my book and pen, I could see a curl of ebony from the side of my hoodie, and knew instantly by her scent that it was the new Kagome person. And I just put my head down, and threw my bag across from me, and started to head off. However I then felt a hand on my arm, I tugged my arm away, too used to being pulled and beaten in my life, I was always scared when someone touched me. I had so many scars, past scars that have left a permanent dent on my chest, arms, legs, ears you name it. And whenever someone pulled on my arm it meant trouble. However as I tugged my arm away from her grasp, I heard her sigh, then she spoke. Her angelic voice reaching my hidden ears.

"Hey please talk to me at least, If I'm going to be sitting with you for the rest of the year, I at least want to know your name" Kagome said to me. I however carried on walking out the classroom, not even bothering with her. I didn't want friends, and I didn't need someone else finding out about my hanyou heritage, because only then would she start to treat me differently too. I didn't want any friends, I didn't need them.

Even though I know deep down...having friends, and a family would be the perfect dream in my head...it was to fictional. No way was it ever going to happen.

And so I just carried on walking to my next class which was science. As I walked up the stairs towards the science corridor, I noticed that the ebony haired girl was following behind. Was she following me? No she wouldn't do that. As I entered my room, I noticed that she entered too, and realised that she must have this class with me. And before I knew it she was sitting next to me again.

I heard her put her bag on the ground with a thump, she flipped her hair as she combed through the ebony locks. Her hair looked soft, and smelt exactly like she did. I then however hear her voice again. And I couldn't deny that her voice pulled at my heart-strings. It felt calming, soothing, but I didn't want to admit it.

"Hey sorry if I creeped you out, I just needed to know where my next class was. And it was with you"

I tilted my head, how did she know which class I had next? As if she read my mind she answered soon after.

She giggled "Silly, I took a sneak peek at your schedule as you were putting it away, it seems that we have the next lesson together also" She said her voice way to cheery on a Monday morning.

I said and did nothing, other than just take out my pen and make sure my hood was tightened. I didn't want to acknowledge her, but when she kept talking it was hard to forget that she was still there.

"Hey where's room 30? I don't know. Hey actually can I follow you, I would love to have a buddy for today to help me out" I could tell that she was sincere and really needed help. I didn't care, I didn't care, I shouldn't care. However I was never a bad person, so far she has done nothing to me, keeping in mind she doesn't know who I am. But the fact that she was so lost and not to mention how much pestering she will receive from all the demons. No matter how much I hated everyone, I wasn't going to stoop as low as them, and so I in the end decided to help her.

I nodded a little, and just from the sound of her gasp I could tell she was happy that she managed to get a reaction from me.

"Thanks, hey please tell me your name. Are you mute or something?" She asked.

I snorted, mute that's all I needed to be. However just my luck Koga had to enter.

"Hey mutt! We ain't finished from before!" he yelled. I just tightened my hold on the desk and my leg was starting to shake, and my breathing was starting to get in uneven pants, I was starting to get so pissed off with the fucking wolf.

"Oi HALF BREED IM TALKING TO YOU!" Koga said as he walked over to me. However something very unexpected happened. I hear that angelic voice.

"Hey what the hell is your problem, leave him alone! What are you crazy!" I heard Kagome say. I cursed under my breath, what the hell was she doing, why was she meddling with my business, I didn't want any trouble or problems that's why I kept quiet you stupid girl. However I was still surprised, what was she doing standing up for me. Aah I know why, because she didn't know what I really was.

"Ha Inu-trasha ya need a girl to fight your battles"

I growled darkly "I don't need fucking anybody you bastard, now leave me alone before I make you wolf food" I said threateningly, but quietly. I then saw her expression, her eyebrows rose as she finally heard my voice, and when I try to not speak to avoid any sort of verbal communication with her, this pest had to come along.

"Oh really , well it don't look like that to me" Koga said. He always thought he was at the top of the food chain, when in real life he was right at the bottom.

I then heard her again, god can't she just shut up!

"Hey He can fend for himself, but leave him alone! What is your problem anyway?" Kagome said, earning a growl from Koga.

"Oi bitch leave me alone, I ain't got time for your smart mouth" Koga said as he pushed her to the side.

I don't know why but I held his hand and twisted it backwards as I growled. "Don't fucking harm a girl you lowlife. If you call yourself a man, don't even dare lay a finger on a woman" I said. I didn't care about Kagome, I didn't care what she did, but I that didn't change the fact that Koga had no right to take advantage of an innocent albeit big-mouthed woman.

Koga snarled and then the teacher walked in "What is with the ruckus"

I sighed and let Koga's hand go as he walked over to his seat his hand cradled against his chest, demons healed almost instantly so he didn't need to go to the nurse's office anyway. However I then hear Kagome talking.

"Hey what was that all about? Are you okay" Kagome asked me confused, yet with worry laced in her voice. Why?

I just shook my head as I turned away. She didn't need to know anything, she was just a wench, nothing more than a stubborn bitch, who would stop following me like a puppy the moment she found out what I was.

A freak of nautre.
