Kagome Chapter 1, an inuyasha fanfic

Hi hi! Wait! (Puts hands up in order to stop barrage of rotten tomatoes) I am currently typing up chapter two for Remembering and Ch. 6: The Date, for "Date With A Hanyou", so chill! So, I kinda got this idea when reading some manga. (Don't know what the title's called. No, I'm serious! All it says is one-shot) so I decided to write this fanfic with a little plot twists of my own, but kind of following the plot for that one-shot manga. I don't know if I'll ever update this, since I normally don't get into this mood too often, but yeah. :)

Disclaimer: I do not, by any chance, own Inuyasha, the one-shot manga, or its plot. Purely fanmade, people! Now, on with the story! *w*

Chapter 1: First Encounters

Bow flying, I play with ease and skill, letting the last note end in vibrato. I hold my stance for a moment before scowling and flipping roughly through the pages back to the beginning. "Dammit. I messed up again!"

"You did fine, Inuyasha," Miroku says, stepping into my line of view. "Although Sesshomaru says that a half-breed like you will never be able to beat him in the finals."

"Oh yeah, well tell that bastard that he can shove his skinny nose up his a-"

Something hard hits my head and I stumble forwards. "That's hardly any way to treat your elder brother, half-breed," says a cool voice from behind me.

I rub my head, wincing. "Yeah, well that's no way to treat your younger half brother, bastard," I say, glaring up at him.

Sesshomaru surveys me up and down before swiftly turning around. "Goodbye."

"That's it?" I growl. "I swear, that guy just lives to torment me."

"Well, he IS your older brother," Miroku starts.

I quickly pin my glare on him, making him stop short. "Fine. Half-brother. There, happy?"

I ignore him and get up, packing my violin up before leaving the practice room. "I'm going to practice somewhere else."

"Where?"

"I ain't telling you!"

Miroku sighs. "Fine. By the way, what was the piece that you played called?"

I pause before continuing on my way. "Kagome."

OooOooOooOoo

I live in an all-boys school for the fine arts. There really isn't much to tell about this school, since its pretty secluded from any town or city. I was deserted here by my oh so loving family when I was barely 10. I've never actually been outside or beyond the campus since then, since the school grounds has practically everything I need, like one of those fancy hotels over there in America. I met Miroku during my second year in middle school, quickly becoming close buddies. Everything was okay and all when all of a sudden, that bastard of my brother showed up in my first year in high school. Since then, we've been competing in everything related to our studies, from our grades to how well we play the violin. Every year, we have a contest to see which student gets a scholarship to get out of this godforsaken place in order to go overseas to the best fine arts university in the world. Juilliard. Of course, brother dear * hack hack* being the competitive, yet slimy cheater as always, nabbed the music I was gonna play and made it sound like I was the one who stole it from him. This time, though, this time will be different. This piece, "Kagome", is unique, unlike any other, and I WILL win, no matter what.

With that in mind, I swiftly make another turn yet again, covering and jumbling up my scent. There. Not even that petty bastard can find me now. On a much happier note, I quickly run into the forest that surrounds the school and burst into a clearing a few minutes later. Making sure no one had followed me, I look around before walking to the cherry blossom tree that stood at the far corner of the clearing. I sit down at its base and sigh, letting the cool wind run through my hair. Glancing down at the case to my side, I let my mind wander as I begin to unpack my violin. Movement catches my eye, and I quickly spin around, growling warningly. Nothing, except for the petals of the tree swaying with out a care in the world.

Cautious, I wait for a few more minutes before shrugging and lifting my violin to rest it in the crook of my neck and shoulder. I breathe in deeply and count before unleashing the haunting, yet beautiful notes.

OooOooOooOoo

I breathe heavily as I finish, staring at the weary instrument in shock. I did it. Without messing up even once. Ha! Wait till Sessho-

"That was very beautiful."

I whirl around, searching for that whispery voice. I hear a giggle and look up. There, up in the tree, sat a beautiful girl, surrounded by the cherry blossom' s shimmering pink aura, with flowing black locks shaping her heart-shaped face and big, brown eyes, which were twinkling with merriment at the moment. I let my eyes trail her curvy figure before shaking my head, dispelling those thoughts. "What are you doing here? This is an all-boys school; no girls allowed. And how did you get up there without me even noticing?" I shout up at her, not meaning to sound harsh.

The girl flinches and tilts her head. "I have my ways," she says casually.

"Bull!"

She sticks her tongue out at me, before leaping down, smoothing the light pink dress she has on. "You're mean, Inuyasha."

"I am not, and besides, who're you to talk, you spy?"

"I wasn't spying! I was already here, minding my own business, when you showed up."

"You were not, I would've heard you if you were so much as even breathing!"

She looked up at me curiously. "Really. How?"

Crap. I almost told her. "Nothing," I mutter. We stay like this for a few minutes before a question comes to mind. "By the way, who're you?"

The girl blinks up at me, surprised. "I thought you knew already!"

I scowl at her. "Why the hell would I know your name?"

"Because you were playing it just now."

I stare at her, confused.

She sighs. "You really ARE dense, aren't you?" I flush, cheeks tinged pink. "Shut up!"

A sudden flute-like sound emerges from deeper within the forest. The girl cocks her head and suddenly runs off.

"Hey! Where're you going!" I yell at her retreating form.

"Somewhere!" She screams back.

"But you never told me your name!" I retort, frustrated.

She stops for a few seconds before glancing back at me. "My name is Kagome."

With that, she disappears in the other side of the forest, leaving me staring after her in shock. "What the hell?" I stare for a few more seconds before another question pops in my head. "And how did she know my name?"

I agree, Kagome. He really can be dense sometimes. *clap* So! Watcha think? Please R/R and I'll see y'all hopefully sometime tomorrow or this weekend!
