Ever since Kagome was one, everyone around her felt something special about her. All the little neighborhood boys would come asking for play dates and whatnot.

At the age of five, Kagome really proved to people how special she was.
"Mommy, Mommy! Look what I can do!" A small little girl with raven hair runs into the family room with a big ball. Kagome threw the ball in the air and it glowed a bright, glittery, purple color. It stayed up there for a good minute before her mom grabbed it out of the air.
"No, Kagome. Bad! Don't do that anymore!" Her mom looked over to Kagome's grandfather worried.
"But why, Mommy?" Kagome cried and glowed purple.
"Don't cry, sweety. Just don't do it again. It isn't normal. Okay?" Her mom wiped tears from Kagome's face.
"Why isn't it normal?"
"It just isn't."
"Okay." Kagome runs into her room bouncing the ball like normal kids do.
Mrs. Higurashi looks at her father. "What should we do?"
"There's nothing we can do now, my darling daughter. When she gets old enough for high school, I know a place that can really help her, but for now, just make sure she doesn't show anyone else her 'abilities'." Gramps looks off into space, in deep thought.

After that, Kagome never showed her mom any of the special things she could do. However, at age ten, she met some people who had special abilities as well, Sango and Miroku.
"Sango?" Kagome asked walking threw the park. "What is so special about your friend Miroku?"
"What do you mean?" Sango asked walking to the sandbox.
"Well, me and you are friends 'cause you can't make friends easy on a count of your temper and you scare people." Kagome looks at her friend and cringes.
"I don't have a temper!" Sango kicks the sandcastle they were making. "And I am not scary!"
"Ok, ok." Kagome regrets saying that. "You still didn't answer my question, though."
"Well, I met him 'cause my little sister was having nightmares, and he said he could get rid of them. He got pieces of paper and colored on 'em. Then he taped 'em to the walls. And her scary dreams were gone. Ever since then, we've been good friends." Sango wiped some sand out of Kagome's hair.
"I don't like him very much. He always asks me to kiss him."
The girls giggle.
"Let's go play catch." Kagome leads Sango to the concrete, and they bounce the ball. Out of nowhere little claws scratch a small hole in the ball.
"Hey!" Sango screams.
The girls look down at the little boy in a red jumpsuit with the strangest doggy ears.
"Aww, it's just a puppy!" Kagome rubs his little doggy ears. The boy scratches her hand, backing away from her.
"I ain't no puppy, you little ugly girl!" He retorts.
Kagome's bottom lips starts to quiver and her eyes shades red.
"You big meanie! Now she's crying! I ought to-!" Sango lunges, but Kagome grabs her hand.
"Stop crying." Doggy boy looks upset. "I don't like seeing girls cry."
Kagome stands firm in her spot glowing purple.
"Please, stop." The little boy pleads.
Suddenly the purple lights disappear, and her sobs subsides. "Ok, but don't do it again, doggy boy." Kagome smiles and pats him on the head.
"Don't call me that!" He shouts.
"What to call you, Doggy?"
"Inuyasha." He scoffs.
"I'm Kagome." She pats him on the head and skips away happily. "See you around!"

That was five years ago, and situations like that happen all the time. Yet through it all, the two remained close friends. They even dated, but no good thing can last forever, or so they thought.
"Kagome, come on. It's time to go." Mrs. Higurashi shouts up the stairs. Kagome rushes down the steps to get to the car.
"Do we have to get to school early, everyday?" Kagome says jumping in the car.
Mrs. Higurashi starts up the car, and heads to the school.
"Yes. You know how I like things done." Mrs. Higurashi stops the car.
"Thanks." Kagome climbs out of the car and heads for the buildings, but she hears someone call her name.
"Kagome!" Her best friend, Sango, runs up towards her with Miroku.
"Oh, hey Sango." They walk into the building.
"Are you still upset about Inuyasha?" Sango asks.
"Oh, please. We broke up a month ago. We're still friends, and there are no hard feelings. I'm fine."
"You sure?" Sango still looks worried.
"My dear Sango, if Lady Kagome says she's fine, she's fine." Miroku lets his hand slide down to Sango's rear and caresses it. Sango face illuminates cherry red.
"You perverted lecher!!!!!" Sango delivers a hard slap to Miroku's face.
"What?" Miroku says with a sheepish grin. He looks around to try to change the subject. "Here comes Inuyasha."
Kagome inwardly sighs and smiles to herself. Just another day at Sengoku High... She looks in the direction Miroku is looking.
A tall, muscular young adult walks over their direction. He has deep, golden eyes, and long, silver hair. Atop his head are the strangest white doggy ears.
"Hi, Inuyasha." Miroku reaches out to shake his hand but Inuyasha ignores him.
Miroku brings his hand back to his side. "Yeah, okay…"
"Hey, Kagome!" Inuyasha enthusiastically greets.
"Inuyasha." Kagome shows no emotion at all.
"So how was your summer?" Inuyasha smiles.
"So-so." Kagome looks around at the lockers. "Well I should go to the office, and get my schedule, so.." Her sentence trails off.
"I'll come with you." Inuyasha walks over her way to let her know he was serious. When she doesn't move and just looks at him, he decides to take the initiative. He grabs her hand and pulls her along. She removes her hand from his grasp, but continues to follow him nonetheless. Sango and Miroku stand in middle of the hall dumbfounded. Miroku pulls her close by the waist.
"Does that answer your question?" Miroku laughs as the two go to their first class.
"So Kagome, about what happened, I-"
Kagome interrupts him. "Nothing happened, okay. It just didn't work out."
"Something did happen, alright?" Inuyasha starts. "You can't keep acting like it didn't happen. How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"
"Why should you be sorry?" Kagome sighs. "You were just...." She looks him in the eye. "You shouldn't be sorry." She walks ahead of him.
Inuyasha hesitates, but eventually decides to follow. "Kagome, wait"
Kagome walks into the office to get her schedule and walks out with a slip of paper. Inuyasha grabs her by the wrist. Kagome pulls but can't break free.
"Let go of me, Inuyasha." Kagome demands.
"Not until you tell me why you won't forgive me." Inuyasha pulls her intimately close. "Why?"
"There is nothing to forgive, Inuyasha. Now please.." Kagome's hand glows glittery, purple, and a beam shoots out of her hand and sends
Inuyasha flying towards some lockers.
Kagome runs off to her class as a single tear escapes her eye. No, Inuyasha. I'm sorry.
A/N: Darn these story Ideas. Ok, this is supposed to be like a school for kids with special powers they inherited from their ancestors from the feudal era. Hence the name Sengoku High. I had to explain the background first, so the next chapter will get into the actual storyline. Please review. If I don't get three, I can't continue. In addition, this will suddenly have the word COMPLETE in the summary. lol ^_^
