AN: This is my first fan fiction, story, etc. so please be nice. I have never written anything before (besides my homework), so it might be bad. Very bad.

Summary: Inuyasha and Kagome hated each other since they were kids. Now, nine years after separation, the two meet. But this time things might turn out a slightly different… or not.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for the plot (I think)

It was a beautiful morning. The birds were singing, children were playing, and … what's this? Screaming? Alright, just what in the world is going on?

"I hate you!" Eight-year-old Kagome shouted into Inuyasha's face. Kagome was a pretty girl. She had shoulder length black hair and big grayish-bluish eyes. She was kind, too. Just not to him.

"I hate you too!" Came the full-hearted response. Inuyasha was cute, too. He had short black hair and big violet eyes. Inuyasha had quite a temper. And Kagome was receiving full-blast of it.

"I'm glad you're gonna stay away from this place for the rest of your life!"

"Why would I not stay away? I mean who would want to see such an ugly face like yours!"

The two mothers were chatting happily, oblivious to the fight going on. They were at the airport, Inuyasha and his mother, Izayoi were moving to Kyoto and Kagome and her mother, Megumi was here to say good-bye and weep.

"Once you're gone, I can show all your baby pictures to the class! It'll be sooooo embarrassing!"

Scratch that. Saying goodbye and trying to make Inuyasha's life miserable is more like it. Well, at least to Kagome.

"Get real. You don't even have those pictures!" Inuyasha closed his eyes to make it seem like he was confident and opened them. He looked around confused. "Huh, where'd you go?"

«»

Izayoi felt something or rather someone tugging at her shirt. She looked down. "Kagome, honey, what is it?"

"Mrs. Takashi, can I have some of Inuyasha's pictures? You know, to remember him by? I'm really gonna miss him." Kagome put on a sad face and hoped she would fall for it.

"Mom! Don't do it! She's gonna show it to the whole class!" Inuyasha pleaded, "You don't want to embarrass your own son, do you?"

Izayoi ignored him. " Of course, honey. I never thought about how you would feel. You would lose such a dear friend." She reached into her purse and pulled out a bunch of pictures. "Here you go. All for you."

Kagome visibly brightened. "Thank you! Thank you so much Mrs. Takashi!"

Inuyasha gulped. He could just imagine her rubbing her hands together and laughing like a witch. How could his mom fall for a trick like that?

Just then, the announcements came on. "Flight number 367 will be boarding right now in gate number 54. Repeat. Flight number 367 will be boarding right now in gate number 54. Thank you. Have a safe trip."

"Well, that's our plane," Izayoi said cheerfully, "Stay in touch everybody!"

Everybody said goodbye (Inuyasha and Kagome a little roughly, though a goodbye, no less). Kagome watched them go, her mother's arm draped around her shoulder.

Well, now for these pictures. She thought, mentally rubbing her hands together and laughing like a witch, Time to get to work.

"Kagome!"

Kagome sat at the bottom of her favorite tree, finishing her homework. She liked it because it was peaceful and quiet and nobody disturbed her. Well, it looked like her peace and quiet was broken.

She looked up. "Hey, Rin."

Rin sat down. "Hi. Whatcha doing? Hey, isn't that today's homework?" She looked confused.

Kagome looked sheepish. "Well, it is. I had archery practice yesterday, so I didn't have time."

"Oh."

"Guys! Did you hear?" Sango stopped to catch her breath.

"Hear what?" Rin said curiously, "Is it that Mr. Sakashi retired?"

"Or is it that Kikyo dumped her latest boyfriend, Naraku?" Kagome asked.

Sango plopped down in front in of them. "Really? I didn't know that. Anyway, that's not the news I was about to tell you."

"Well, what is it? Hurry up and tell." Kagome was usually patient. But she still had her math homework to do. And math was her worst subject. I mean, come on! You wouldn't like it if you got a big, fat F to bring home to your family. Right?

Sango looked surprised. "Alright, jeez. My news is that …"

Kagome and Rin leaned over in anticipitation

"There's a new student here."

They fell over anime-style.

Kagome got right back up. "You interrupted me from my homework, the thing that judges that I become a garbage man- err, woman or a scientist, to tell me of a NEW STUDENT!"

Rin complained a much more calmly. "Yeah, I mean, come on. New students come and go, so why is this one important?"

"YEAH, WHY!" Looks like she still hasn't calmed down.

"BECAUSE, he's already popular. From what I hear, he has a pretty cute face."

"So what? I'm finishing my homework somewhere else." She got and began to walk away.

Kagome heard some of their conversation. "So, what's his name?"

"I think it was Inu something. Oh, I know now! It was Inuyasha."

Kagome froze in her tracks.
