Chapter 1: School Outsider

Beginning school is a new start for each person to increase their education. Somehow, some people feel they don't belong anywhere they go to do such a thing. Kagome Higurashi is one of them. Never knowing where to go to improve her educational life. All she wanted was find her place in the city of Tokyo to find such a place, but for the past 10 years, she only finds herself only belonging at her home, but from the inside, that wasn't what she was hoping for. Kagome lives in a nice home out in the urban area outside of the city, her mother is a nurse in a hospital, working 24/7 and making a lot of money. Her father is a lawyer, solving cases to prove his clients innocent for crimes their involved in. He'd be in his office in a nice building in the city close by to the hospital because they ride together and park in the parking garage between the two buildings. Kagome is an only child, and her mother worked her whole life just to have her. Sadly by the time she was 10 years old, her parents begin to spend less and less time with her, such as being home alone all afternoon after school. She feels isolated from her family, and somehow feels likes she doesn't exist. But luckily her parents get her whatever she wanted, all except their love she truly wanted from them. And that's nothing to buy.

It's the first day of school, Shikon High School. The school is one of the best in the city and is expensive to be accepted. Kagome is lucky though. Her parents wanted to make sure she had to prove to her parents how smart she is. Throughout her life, she'd study day and night, but had enough time to sleep to keep herself active by jogging in the morning around the block. She gets back on time to have breakfast and get to school. By the time she was finished, she gets onto her Volkswagen Jetta and headed off to school.

She finds the parking lot by the school, and finds a spot. The school was massive. It was nicely build to keep it one of a kind building. As she gets out of the car, she sees a few students heading into he building. She grabs her backpack and heads in as well. Since she's a new student and yet the first time, she browses the hallway to find a chart for where to begin her new day at the school. As she walks down the hallway to find the chart, some of the other students were giving weird stares at her, "She must be new." One said quietly to another. Kagome just ignores them as she looks on the chart. She finds her name on it and writes down the room number and heads towards it.

She walks down the hallway and finds the room where her homeroom is. "Here goes nothing she whispers as she enters the room. Inside were a few other students who are just chatting about anything. She comes to a teacher at her desk to let her know who she is. "Um…hi. I'm Kagome Higurashi." Kagome introduced herself to the female teacher. "Welcome to Shikon High. Her is your schedule." She said as she gives Kagome her schedule. Kagome shows a soft smile, as she sits on the far corner of the window. She gets into her backpack and gets a sketchpad out and begins drawing. Drawing is her thing, expressing anything of her emotions, but mostly sadness because of her parents leaving her all alone. 'Another year of loneliness.' She though as she draws a Japanese calligraphy symbol of it. A shadow comes above and takes her sketchpad. "Hey give that back!" Kagome demanded the person who took it. The person was a girl closely identical to her except her hair was longer in the shade of midnight-black; her skin is whiter than Kagome's paler skin color. Her dirt eyes have no warmth in them. "Make me." She counters Kagome's demand. The girl browses through the book. While Kagome is trying to get it back. "Whoa look at this; it seems you've been through a lot of depression apparently. She then closes it to find Kagome's name on the cover. "Kagome Higurashi is it?" She smirking glares at her. "Kikyo Miko, what do you think you're doing?" Another female said as she comes to them. "Taijiya, this is none of your business." Kikyo glares at the girl. She has chestnut brown eyes, with a hint of pink eyeliner, and brown hair in a low ponytail. "It is my business to know what you're up too, and I won't tolerate of your bullying to her. Now do as I say, give back her book." She warns Kikyo. Kikyo sharply sigh and gives Kagome her book. "Mark my words Taijiya. This is just the beginning of the year, and I will not stop to know her secrets." She glares as she walks out of the room. "Um thank you." Kagome whispers to her. "Don't mention. Sango Taijiya's the name." Sango smiles at her. "Kagome Higurashi." Kagome smiles back. "So who was that anyway?" Kagome asks. Sango sighs as she takes a seat by her. "Kikyo Miko. She's supposed to one of the popular students of the school. But she has a reputation to find every student's weakness and use them against them." Sango explains. Kagome nods. "Looks like she already knows one of mine." Kagome said sadly. Sango puts her hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry about it." Sango assures. Kagome smiles. "I know you're new and all, but don't worry, I'll make sure she stays out of your hair." Sango adds. Kagome nods. "Let class begin." The teacher said as she begins her lectures.

Kagome manages to pull off in her next 4 classes, knowing Sango isn't in any of them. Kikyo isn't though which gives her a good relief on that. The bell rings, lunch break for Kagome. Kagome heads her way to the cafeteria to get something to eat. As she gets her meal she finds an empty table by the window and sits down, eat quietly. "Kagome." Kagome comes to her senses to find the voice who called her. She looks to find Sango coming her way towards her. "Hey Sango." She smiles. Behind Sango are two boys coming along as well. "So this is her then huh?" the one boy with short black hair in a small ponytail, violet eyes, and an earring on his left ear. "I wonder if she will…" He gets hit on the head by the other boy. "She's not going to bear your child. Stop your lechers." The other boy warns him. Kagome's shyness gets the better of her as she looks away. Sango shakes her heads as she chuckles and turns to her. "Don't worry about Miroku Houshi. He means no harm, but do keep your distance though."

Kagome turns back to Sango, "Okay." "Hey Sango who is this girl anyway?" The boy asks as he takes a seat across from her, "This is Kagome Higurashi." Sango answers gesturing to Kagome. The boy is one of a kind. His features are stunning. He has long silver hair down to the bottom of his back, short claws on his fingers, and his golden eyes is indeed admiring, but the most cutest things are his triangular dog ears on top of his head. "Hi, there-"Kagome said but is cut off. "INUYASHA!" A voice sings. Kagome stiffens. Kikyo is coming putting her arms around him. "Go out with me tonight." She said sweetly to him. Kagome didn't want to interrupt them, so she decides to resume eating her meal. Kikyo spots Kagome across the table. "Well the depressed girl is here as well. Well listen here. You better stay away from my Inuyasha, or you'll suffer the consequences." She warns. Kagome replies at her, "I wasn't even planning on it." Inuyasha has had enough of Kikyo antics. "Listen here, Kikyo." He pulls Kikyo's arms off him, "First of all, I'm not your boyfriend, and two you better stay away from her, or you'll have to suffer the consequences by me." He growls at her. Kagome couldn't believe her own ears. No one has ever stuck up to her. Before she came here, her life was nothing but misery. Sure she did had great grades and everything, but the other students just didn't want to be with her. So she was nothing but an outsider. But then she feels like she found a place where someone made her feel one of them. But that's the problem, even if she tries to deny it and all, soon she'll betray or be betrayed by them. As soon as she was finished with her meal she cleans and leaves the cafeteria. Luckily Kikyo wasn't there when she left.

It was art class that Kagome was in. The assignment; watercolors of a scene of nature. She smiles as she finds a good picture of a waterfall. She begins her painting. Little did she know that a boy comes up to her. "Hey there gorgeous." He said. Kagome slowly raises her head to see that the boy had long black hair in a high ponytail and icy blue eyes. "Hi" She replies shyly as she resumes her work. "Hey I was talking to you." He sits down across from her. She didn't want to talk to him so she just concentrating on her work. The boy swipes her painting as raises it high over his head. "Hey give that back." Kagome said as she tries to get it back from him. "First let me introduce myself. I'm Koga Wolfe, and I will give your painting back if you tell me your name." She growls. "It's Kagome, now may I have my painting back?" Koga chuckles. "One condition though." He adds. Kagome looks confused. "What do you want?" She asks. "You're going out with me tonight." She is shocked. "I don't think so. I'm not those kind of people who are new at a school, then a random boy asks me out on a date. Not a chance." She scowls back. Koga however laughs, "Oh really, well then I have no choose but to tear this painting, unless you reconsider my offer." Kagome feels so defenseless. This is what always happens and it keeps on going over and over. "Enough Koga." The teacher commands him. Kagome looks up to see her art was an elderly woman. "Yes Ms. Kaede." Koga said as he gives Kagome her painting. "I won't have this tolerance in my class. Do make myself clear?" She glares at him. Koga nods as he turns around and walks away. "Don't worry about him. He usually like to every new girl in the school. Don't let him get to you." Ms. Kaede said as she heads back to her desk. Kagome sighs as she resumes her project. 'How long will the defenses hold up?' She thought to herself.

The final bell rang, letting the students go home. Kagome gets to her locker to put away some of her things away that won't be necessarily. She grabs her jacket and heads out the building. Inuyasha can smell her emotions from a mile away. "Kagome is one person that I never met in my life." He made sure she didn't spot him as he leaves the school. "If I were you, I'd follow her and see what her problem is." Miroku said as he comes up to him. "I agree. She may be new, but it would be as if something is holding her back. She's holding back something that's preventing her from happiness." Sango said as she comes to the boys. Inuyasha sees Kagome getting into her car and drive home, and with an accurate sight, he sees tears falling down her eyes. Inuyasha heads to his red Chevy Cruze. "Why would she be crying?" He asks as he follows her to her home, but to keep it a good distance between him and Kagome.
