Chapter 1

After turning off her alarm clock she stood up and stretched out her sleeping muscles. She took a quick shower and threw on whatever she could find. Which so happened to be some black baggy pants and a shirt that said, 'Fear me…I am your future.' Once she was dressed she walked down stairs to find a note from her parents. It read: Dear Kagome, have a wonderful first day at your new school. We'll be late from work so if you don't mind please start dinner. I want to hear all about your first day when I get home. Love mother.

P.S: Please don't start any fights, this is the last public school there is before we have to send you to privet schools. From father.

"Uh…guess I could play nice…looks like I'm walking to school. I hope there is someone there that is like me." She told herself out loud as she put the note in her pocket and grabbed her backpack to leave. Before walking out of her house she made sure that she had her keys and that she had her seals in place. 'I don't want anyone to see my true form.' She thought. Even if there were others like her she would have to rely on her power to sense since the humans knew nothing of their existences.

Once she reached her new school she picked up her schedule and made her way to first block. She had P.E, art, lunch, English and science for last block. She never really liked to take any others classes besides art. 'After all…art is the only way I can paint my mother.' Kagome thought sadly as she walked into the gym. Wondering where everyone was, Kagome walked to the back and found everyone running on the track course. After spotting the coach she walked over to the coach and handed him her schedule.

"Ah, so you're the new student, Kagome Higurashi?" the coach asked.

"Yeah, uh I don't have any running cloths." Kagome answered as she looked at her hands. 'Shit I forgot to get my jewelry.'

"You won't get to chose what you run in…the school does, here I'll call over someone to show you around and to get you the school P.E uniform…Sango!" the teacher replied.

"Ok…but I already now…" before Kagome could finish a tall girl with long black hair ran up in front of the coach. 'Sango…that name…uh…I feel like if I should know her.'

"Hey, coach…what you need?" she asked.

"Sango get Miss. Higurashi settled into her locker, get her a uniform and show her around. I'll inform you're other teachers that you will be somewhat late to your classes." The coach answered.



"Yes sir…come on the locker room is this way." Sango said as she began to walk away. 'She seems familiar…have I met her before?'

After they were far enough Sango stopped walking and just looked at Kagome. Sango could tell that there was something different about her and knew that she would become great friends with this girl. Something just told her that she could trust this girl. Kagome on the other had was just glad that her hanyou form was hidden and that all they would know about her would be that she was just a mix breed of a miko and witch. After a while of looking her over Sango turned around and began to walk as she asked, "So what's your name Miss. Higurashi?"

"Oh, my name is Kagome, and your Sango right?" she replied. 'I know her from somewhere…I just know it.'

"Yes, um…the locker room is this way and your locker is next to mine…so did you move or did you transfer?" Sango asked as she held the door opened for her.

"Neither…I was kicked out of my old school." Kagome answered. 'So she already noticed…well at least she and I can train with one another.' She thought.

"Really…for what?" Sango asked as she opened her locker while handing Kagome the keys to her locker.

"For starting a fire…the only thing that pissed me off was that they accused me of using a lighter on campus." Kagome answered as she took her keys while keeping her eyes on Sango. As she kept her eyes locked with Sango one word came to her. 'Hiraikotsu?'

"So nice to meet a fellow witch but you are also part miko right? Sorry but I guess it was just obvious to me that you were a mix breed of miko and witches." Sango asked as she changed.

"Yeah…but I'm also a hanyou…I just don't like being in my true form. I'm an inu-hanyou/miko/witch…weird I know." Kagome answered in a soft whisper while hoping that she would be accepted by this witch that was clearly a girl she could be friends with.

"Wow, I guess my other friend will be surprised once he find out that he's not the only one. Well at least a hanyou with witch like abilities." Sango said as she finished tying her shoe lace.

"I guess…if you want you can relax. I already know where all of my classes are going to be. I found a map of the school and its lay out on line so I pretty much now this place." Kagome said in a much stronger voice now that she had just been accepted.

"Hey, I'm not cold hearted plus you seem like a bad ass friend." Sango happily.

"I have art after this class and English then Science after lunch." Kagome answered.



"That's great! You'll have art and science with Inuyasha and third block you'll be with all of us." Sango said happily. 'Kagome…I know that we're going to be great friends.'

"With all of who?" Kagome asked. 'Inuyasha…why…what's going on?'

It was then that Sango spent the rest of their first block explaining her two friends that Kagome was going to meet. Kagome would make some comments and would laugh at the stories Sango had to say about her friends. 'I think there are going to be really good friends of mine...they names just sound so familiar.' Kagome thought as she and Sango continued to have fun. Just as they began to talk, the two of them froze when they heard a voice say, 'Two of five have now met…once all five are connected all memories shall be returned.'

After a while of just staring at one another, the two shrugged off the voice as if it were nothing and began to talk again. Once the bell rang, Sango walked Kagome to her art class and left. Kagome walked in and was stared at by all of her new class mates that were currently working on their paintings and their drawings. After looking around Kagome found an empty table in the back of the room and took a seat there.

"Ok class, finish up your paintings and turn them in." The teacher intersected as she walked over to Kagome.

"Um…what am I going to do?" Kagome asked.

"Well since you chose this table your being paired off with Inuyasha for the rest of the semester, he's not here today so you can draw whatever you want and turn it in. That way I know where you are in this class." The teacher explained.

"Um ok." Kagome said. 'Inuyasha…he is one of Sango's friends.' She thought.

As soon as the teacher left Kagome alone, she looked in the desk and found brand new art supplies. After looking over all of her supplies she chose to use color pencils for her first assignment in her art class. As she began to draw, Kagome was confused when she found herself drawing a mountain with a sunset. However the main attraction of the drawing was a dark pink jewel that covered most of the page. 'Shikon no tama…what is this jewel of four souls?' Kagome thought as she started at her drawing for a small while.

After a while of drawing, Kagome was approached by a tall guy with light brown eyes and a demon like figure. Once he was close enough to her she realized that he was a wolf demon. Not wanting to get in a fight on her first day, Kagome began to draw on a different page of her drawing pad while paying no attention to him as he got closer to her. 'Wolf demon…Koga…' Kagome suddenly thought as she paused in her drawing.

"Hey there beautiful, how about we catch a movie on Friday. I promise that it'll be a night that you will never forget." The wolf demon said.



"How about you leave me the hell alone wolf boy, I'm not interested." Kagome spoke weakly as she kept her attention on her drawing.

"Come on doll…I assure you we will be having loads of fun." He offered again in a husky voice.

"I said no, now leave me the fuck alone flea bag." Kagome growled as she placed a barrier around herself. After all the only ones that would be able to see her barrier were people with the knowledge of underworld.

"Fine…I'll leave you for now…but I'll get what I want, I always do." He growled back and walked away.

Kagome spent the rest of the time fixing and adding color to her new drawing. 'This all seems like a dream that I can't remember…I...I have no idea what to do.' She knew that if she ran into him again that she would be in trouble. 'I won't be able to get away from him without fight.' She thought. At the end of the class, Kagome tore out her drawing before she closed the spiral of drawing paper in order to turn the drawing that she had finished so that she could finish her second drawing tomorrow. After words Kagome then walked to the cafeteria and got her food. After she had gotten her food she had found Sango sitting with a monk that had a small pony tail and purple eyes. 'I wonder if I should sit with them?' she thought as she slowly walked over to where Sango was.

"Hey Kagome, take a seat." Sango said as she noticed that Kagome was walking so slowly over to her.

"Hey Sango, who's the monk?" Kagome asked as she sat down and took out a piece of fruit as her lunch. 'Glad she doesn't mind me eating with her and her boyfriend.' She thought.

"Who me?" the guys asked.

"This is Miroku, he's a lecher so be careful…Miroku this is Kagome, she's new here." Sango introduced.

"Hey, if you need anything just ask…I'll be happy to help in any way I can." Miroku stated, 'And I mean in any way.' He thought perverted.

"God Sango he is a lecher." Kagome said as she briefly got the chance to read his mind. 'The curse monk…wait where did that come from?'

"What did I do?" Miroku asked innocently. 'Kagome…I know that name…but from where?'

"It's not what you said, it's what you thought." Kagome answered as she bit into her fruit.

"Oh, so you're a mind reader…what am I thinking now?" Miroku asked as he couldn't help but challenge the girl that he had just met.



"I comes and goes…I've never could control it and quite frankly I don't want this gift. I'm planning on removing it. Kagome answered as she turned to face Sango to ask, "Sango is he your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, we've been dating for a while now but he still hasn't gotten the clue…so what are you doing after school?" Sango answered as she tried to hide her blush.

"I have to go home and start dinner. My parents usually get out of work late." Kagome answered.

But before Sango reply to Kagome's answer they heard a familiar voice said, "Does that mean I'm invited?"

Kagome and Sango quickly turned around to find Koga just eyeing Kagome with nothing but lust in his eyes. While Sango tried to figure out what he wanted with Kagome and how she had managed to meet him she heard Kagome's cold voice say, "Not you again…just leave me the hell alone!"

"Take a hike Koga; she doesn't want you near her." Sango hissed as she created an energy ball. 'So I was right…she doesn't like him...this seems familiar.' She thought.

"Back off bitch, I was only talking to my woman." Koga growled as he tried to get closer to Kagome while keeping his lust filled eyes on her.

"I'm not yours nor will I ever be your anything you ass." Kagome growled as she threw Koga with a blast of miko power once she noticed that he had gotten to closer to her. 'Only he's changed..Koga…what has happened to you?'

'The world and hearts have been changed again…you must find the one that he was meant to take.' Kagome heard the same voice from the morning say.

"Let me take care of the rest." Miroku said a he placed a barrier around all of them. 'I know I just met her but if she is a friend of Sango's than I will protect her as well…that and there is something about her that makes me want to protect her.' He thought as he made sure that Koga would not be able to get through the barrier.

"Thanks Miroku, hey Kagome how did you bump into that jackass?" Sango asked once she noticed that Koga had already left them knowing that he was not going to get a chance to get to Kagome.

"That jack ass is in my art class." Kagome answered with a tried voice. It was obvious that she didn't want to run into Koga anytime soon.

"Ouch…so how was art?" Miroku stated.



"Ok, I like that class. Hopefully I'll get to show you guys what I drew today." Kagome answered.

"Well that's good to know…and as for class we're going to be late. So lets get going." Sango replied.

"Does she have next block with us?" Miroku asked as he began to get up.

"Yeah, I do." Kagome answered as she began to follow Sango.

Once they reached their class Kagome was informed of what was going on in the class. They were currently working on a group project and because Kagome was new she was allowed to choose which group she wanted to join for the project. After telling her teacher that she was going to be working Sango and Miroku's group she took a seat next to Sango and got to work. After a while of working on their project, Kagome placed a barrier up because of the bad feeling she had began to feel when they were half way through the project. 'I wonder…is there a dark miko in here?' she thought as she began to tense up.

"What's wrong?" Miroku asked as he noticed her nerves and that barrier she had put up around them.

"I just got this chill down my back…is there a dark miko in here?" Kagome answered as she turned to face Miroku.

"Oh, it's just Kikiyo, but don't worry just don't piss her off." Sango answered.

"How strong is she?" Kagome asked as she lowered her barrier. 'Sister Kikiyo…' she heard a child's voice say. 'Where did that come from?'

"Enough, now let's finish this before we get in trouble." Miroku answered tiredly.

"You're just saying that because your mom already got after you for your graders." Sango replied.

"Whatever, let's just finish." Kagome said.

Soon the three of them had finished their planning and did their work. Miroku and Sango soon realized that it was a good thing that Kagome had joined their group because of her great ideas. Her ideas had helped them make things a lot more interesting and had allowed them to finish faster than usual. After they had finished Kagome had left to her last class while Sango and Miroku took off to their class. After walking in Kagome felt a familiar aura in there, "Damn it."

"What's wrong? Do you need anything…my pet."

"Damn it Koga…fuck off." Kagome hissed as she kept a barrier around her as she walked to an empty desk in the back.



Knowing that there would only be trouble if he followed her now, Koga took his seat and waited for their instructor to walk in. After a while of waiting the whole call was relived to be sent to the library since their instructor had not shown up. 'Well…at least I'll have more time to draw and finish some homework.' Kagome thought as she took a seat awhile from her class mates so that she could be alone.

Soon the bell rang and everyone ran out of the library to go home. After meeting up with Sango and Miroku, Kagome smiled and told them that she'd see them tomorrow before she left home. Once Kagome got home, she went up to her room, closed the door and took out all of her books she had bought on witchcraft. Ever since she was able to pay for some books of her own, Kagome had been paying for them and studying them day and night in hope of finding her biological father. Kagome hated him for not being there when she needed him yet she and this longing, a longing to know her father. She currently held three books open while the others just levitated around her waiting to be looked at.

"Damn it…I've read all these books and more! Why can't I find a spell that will help me look for my father?!" Kagome asked herself out loud. "I've studied black magic and white magic. I've learned curses and hexes yet I still can't find a signal spell that will help me! I've even mastered my miko powers!" she yelled out in frustration.

Just as she was about to start putting all of her books away, a book appeared in front of her wide open. It was a book she hadn't read in a while; the book was one of basic spells and potion making. This book showered her a spell called, "Dragon's Call." Kagome looked at it and deiced to ask Sango about it and put it in her backpack before she put all her books back in her hiding place. After putting everything away, Kagome went down stairs and began to start on dinner knowing that her parents would be home soon. 'I hope mother and father don't mind if its noodles with rice balls again.' She thought as she began to cook.

Just as Kagome had finished with dinner, she turned to set the table. Just as she heard the door being opened, Kagome heard the same voice from this morning say, 'Three of five are now connected…find the two and you will know what to do.' But before Kagome could do or say anything, her parents walked in. 'Just what the hell is going on?' Kagome couldn't help to think as she took her seat while her parents looked at her.

"I see that you didn't get into a fight today…thank you." Her father was heard.

"Now dear, Kagome how was your day." Her mother asked as she took a seat.

"It was fine, I had lots of fun and I made some friends." Kagome answered.

"Well, its good to know that you have friends that will help keep you out of trouble." Her father replied.

"Yeah, it's a good thing dad." Kagome answered as she couldn't help but smile.



After eating with her family, Kagome stood up, took a bath and went to sleep with a smile on her face. Kagome knew that she would be happy with them, yet there was something deep within her that told her that it would not last. As she slowly fell asleep Kagome's last thoughts were, 'I have nothing more to give…Midoriku…please…just let me be.' As a part of her soul that remembered everything tried to reach out to the dead miko.

A/N: Well, I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Don't worry; it's not going to end so soon. Please let me know what you think. Remember, flames are welcomed.
