FATE'S LOVELY WAYS
Chapter 1- Introductions
Kagome's POV
"Kagome! Get up, time for school!" my mom yelled at me from downstairs.
"Okay mom!" I said getting out of bed and going to start the shower. I got out the shower 5 minutes later and realized that I needed to leave in the next 10 minutes if I wanted to make it to school on time. I quickly put my hair in a ponytail and slipped on my shoes. I ran downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast, and walked over to my mom. "Bye mom! See ya later!" I said to her as I ran out the door and down the shrine steps. I got to school and was greeted by my best friends Sango and Miroku.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled at me while waving and running over to me. She ran over to me and engulfed me in a giant hug.
"Can't… breathe… losing air." I said while trying to catch my breath.
"Sorry. So, how was your summer?" Sango asked me. I smiled at her.
"Not as boring as the last." I said to her. She looked at me with a confused look. "I spent half the summer camping with my family and the rest visiting family." I said to her.
"Oh." She said. "So, guess what I heard." She said to me.
"Kikyo finally transferred schools?" I guessed. Kikyo is this evil bitch who has been out to make my life miserable since I moved here. And she is my cousin, of course.
"Sadly, no. Of course you know Inuyasha." She said and I shook my head. "Well you know how it's been going around that he's coming back to school?" I shook my head again. "Well…he's coming here!" she said to me. I had a shocked look on my face. Inuyasha is this extremely hot singer who is our age.
"No way!" I said. Me, Sango, and Miroku were walking through the quad of our school when I spotted Kikyo and the gang of wanna be hers. Sadly, she spotted us and started walking towards us.
"Kikyo." I said to her when she got over to us. "What do you want?"
"Why do you always think I want something my sweet cousin Kagome?" she said in that fake Barbie tone of voice. I looked at her like she had 2 heads. "Fine. I know you've heard that Inuyasha is coming here. So you'd better stay away. He's mine." She said walking away.
"So far, not the best beginning of school, especially 11th grade." I said to Sango and Miroku. They nodded in agreement as we walked inside the building.
"Higurashi." I heard someone say. I turned around and it was the principal.
"Yes Principal Ai?" I asked the principal. She motioned for me to come with her so I did.
"Higurashi, I need you to do something for me." I nodded to her so she could continue. "I need you to show our new student, Takahashi Inuyasha around please." She said to me as she opened her office door with Inuyasha in her office.
"Sure Principal Ai." I said to her. I looked at Inuyasha who was staring at me. As soon as I turned my head away he quickly looked away.
"I will call your teacher and let her know that you will be late to class." She said to me while picking something up off her desk. "This is his schedule and here are some late passes for when you go to class." She said to me.
"Okay." I said taking the pass and his schedule.
"Thank you Higurashi. You may leave now." She said picking up her phone. I walked out the office with Inuyasha right behind me. I looked at his schedule and noticed we had all the same classes.
"Huh. We have the same exact schedule. So just follow me when the bell rings to the next class. But for now I'll just show you around campus." I said to him. We walked a little ways in silence. "Okay so that hallway is the ninth grade hall or as we call them, the niners. Over that way is the tenth grade hall." We walked a little ways and we finally got to the gym. "Right here is the cafeteria and this little way leads outside to the quad. It's where everyone hangs out during lunch, free period, and before or after school." We walked out the doors and down a little catwalk outside. "This is the 12th grade hall. And that hall right there is our hall. Right over here is the gym." I said to him.
"So where is the soccer field and football field?" he asked me.
"Into sports I see. This way." We walked down the hall and turned down the hall across from the gym. "This hall is where the locker rooms are. For some odd reason they decided to not put them inside the gym." We walked a little farther and out another set of double doors. Outside the doors was another catwalk we walked down. "The soccer field is right over there and this is our football field." I said to him. After I finished talking I saw Coach Daisuke. "Would you like to meet Coach Daisuke? He coaches the football team and the soccer team." He nodded his head. "Coach Daisuke!" I yelled over to him. He looked up and started to walk over to us.
"Kagome! How nice to see you!" he said hugging me. "How is your family doing?" he asked me.
"Their doing fine thank you. Anyways, Coach this is Takahashi Inuyasha. He's new here and I was just showing him around." I said to him. I noticed he had a confused look on his face. "Coach Daisuke's family and mine have been family friends for generations. No help to having our two shrines next to each other. By the way, how has Hajime been?" I asked him.
"We got a call from him last night. He said America is beautiful. But some people do weird things there." He said. Hajime is his oldest son who just graduated from college. He graduated as a lawyer and went over to America to discuss some work for something.
"That's good. Is he coming home soon?" I asked. He is like a brother to me and he has been gone for nearly a year.
"He said only a couple more weeks left. Well, shouldn't you two be getting to class?" he asked us. I looked at my watch and noticed that is was almost mid class.
"Yes we should. Bye Coach Daisuke. You should come over for dinner so you can catch up with mama and papa." I said to him.
"Tell ya what, you talk to your parents and if they say I can come and get me and I'll bring everyone over. Sound good?" he asked me.
"Yes. Well we have to get to class. See ya later Coach." I said giving him a hug. Me and Inuyasha walked away and back to the 11th grade hallway.
"What was that about?" He asked me. I looked at him funny.
"You mean the conversation with Coach?" he shook his head yes. "He's an old family friend. Plus he's my archery coach and soccer coach. So our families hang out and I get free lessons in archery and soccer even though he says I don't need them." I said to him as we got to the classroom. I walked in we walked over to the teacher. "Mrs. Haruka, this is Takahashi Inuyasha the new student and here is our late passes." I said handing them to her.
"Welcome Takahashi. I'm Mrs. Haruka. You may sit next to Higurashi. So please take your seats." She said handing us a worksheet. I walked over to my seat and Inuyasha did to. "Okay class you have 20 minutes to finish your assignments. So get started." She said.
