'I'm no monster..I don't thrive off of hatred, but no one ever realizes that. I'm just some worthless half breed.' Shikon No Tama High school was filled with many things, including humans and demons. Over the years, the two groups had learned to get along, although being a hanyou was totally different. A being with human and demon blood was considered "inhuman," or "disgusting." Humans and demons didn't have children, they weren't involved romantically. But in InuYasha's case, this existed, he existed. InuYasha was derived from a gorgeous human mother, and a full dog demon father. For eighteen years, he has endured this hell called life. No one accepted anything different, only normal was welcomed into their pathetic lives.
InuYasha was far from normal, just a glance at him proved that. His face carried golden, amber orbs for eyes. They held such an intense stare, with so much pain, so much sorrow, but they were beautiful. Atop of his flowing, silver hair, were white, soft dog ears, which indeed did heighten his hearing. He had demonic strength, long nails, and a frozen heart. He sat at his desk, in the very back of the room. How he hated this place called school. A short, green demon stood at the chalkboard, teaching Economics. Mr. Jaken, so oblivious. No students were listening, all were chatting away about their social lives, something InuYasha didn't have. And yet, Mr. Jaken continued to preach his lesson. InuYasha's eyes wandered out to the window, glancing at the sky. It was a dark gray, he could smell that rain was on it's way. He loved the rain, it soothed and coaxed him. He wore a giant, red hoody and casual sweats. His appearance was never important enough for him to actually care what he wore. He'd hardly spoken a word to anyone, and that was fine to him.
Or at least, he wanted it to be, convinced himself it was. His life had always been the same, he knew what to expect.
He was a senior in high school, and he expected to get into college, and then lead a normal, dull life. He wouldn't have a family, he wouldn't be loved, and he most certainly would not fall in love. That was for the weak, he didn't need it, didn't crave it. But for some reason..he had wanted it. Being lonely for so long was..frightening. He put his head down on the desk, cursing at himself for thinking so foolishly. It had been said that all hanyous were destined to be with a priestess. 'Somewhere out there, a girl was waiting, just to be with me.' He huffed at the thought. It was quite unlikely that would happen. All humans were the same, such a pathetic species. All he had to do was bare his fangs, and they'd scramble away in all different directions, like mice. Full breeds hated him, for he was not worthy enough with human blood flowing in his veins. He exhaled and balled his fists with frustration. He was different. He was a monster in their eyes. But deep down, past his tough exterior, he wasn't anything close to it. The only human he trusted was his mother, Izayoi. She cried for the life she knew her son would have, and at times, InuYasha cried too. How he loved his mother, more than anything. She was the exception to the "humans are pathetic" rule. Her and only her. Suddenly, a sweet vanilla scent filled InuYasha's nose. He sat up, and sniffed again.
That's odd, he'd never smelled anything like it before. It was..purely intoxicating. He continued to sniff, becoming drunk by it. It was..natural..sweet..heavenly. He needed it. Not even after a second of smelling it, there was a knock at the door. The teacher stopped his teaching, and walked over to it, opening it. The smell grew stronger. 'It's coming from the door.' Mr. Jaken accepted the piece of paper the anonymous person had given him. He glanced over it, and soon after, he cleared his throat, getting the class' attention. The chatter ceased. "Students, let's welcome our new student. What's your name miss?" He then moved out of the way, so the class could get a look at her. InuYasha couldn't believe his eyes. There stood a gorgeous young lady. The first thing that caught his attention were her eyes. 'They're beautiful..' They were a huge, and were shaded like almonds. Her stare could penetrate any barrier, for her eyes carried love, peace, kindness. She had beautiful long raven hair that almost reached her waist. Her body was petite, but not much was visible for she wore sweats and a black hoody, similar to InuYasha. Her clothes were defiantly..different from most girls here.
They dressed to stand out, while obviously, this girl had no desire to. She didn't seek attention, heck, that's the last thing she wanted. The girl cleared her throat before speaking. She was obvioulsy nervous, and her cheeks were as red as a tomato. "K-Kagome... Kagome Higurashi," she said softly. Her voice melted InuYasha. He suddenly felt so warm. An aura was surrounding this girl. 'What is this power I'm sensing from her?' thought InuYasha, his eyes yet to leave her. Whispers were heard throughout the room. "Do you see her, dude? She's hot!" I know, and her smell is amazing!" "I'd like to do some things to her!" Of course, only InuYasha could hear, with his keen hearing. His brow furrowed in disgust. 'Idiots. Can't they smell the purity radiating from her? She'd never give them the time of day.'"How nice of you to join us, Kagome. I'm . Welcome to Shikon No Tama high!" he said proudly. Kagome smiled at his confidence. "Thanks, ." "Now! Why don't you have a seat by.....InuYasha, the young fellow in the back of the room." His heart skipped a beat. Kagome looked at him, their eyes locked. She almost gasped when she saw him.
'His eyes...they're amazing.' As she slowly made her way back to him, something around her neck jingled as she walked. His eyes followed it. It was a pink sphere dangling from her neck. It emitted so much power. 'This girl..she isn't a regular mortal.' She took the seat to the right of him, her scent escalating to his nose. His eyes rolled in complete pleasure. She smelled incredible. Every single guy in the room, human and demon gazed at her, her beauty startling them. She blushed. 'I wish they would stop staring at me like that.' She dug into her backpack and took out her materials for class. InuYasha watched her out of the corner of his eye. 'Is she actually about to do the work?' And just like that, she began to swiftly take notes on what the teacher said. Due to her clumsiness, however, her pen dropped on the floor, by InuYasha's foot. She looked down at it, then at him, and proceeded to reach for it. InuYasha, however, got it first, and smirked. She blushed and smiled. "Thank you, InuYasha." She said his name so beautifully, like a song to his sensitive ears. He held the pen out to her, and she grabbed it, her hand accidentally brushing against his. A shot of electricity ran up both of their arms. "You're Welcome, Kagome." She blushed at how he said her name. He was indeed handsome. She was just seventeen, love should be the last thing on her mind! ' I wonder..He's not full demon..nor is he fully human..is it a combination of both?' Not realizing she was staring, her eyes wandered to the dog ears that sat on top of his head. InuYasha felt her stare. ' I bet she's afraid of me too. Figures, none of them are different.'
What she did next surprised him. She smiled. His heart began to beat faster. As if on cue, the bell rang, ending class. Kagome slowly stood up, dumping her materials in her backpack, and throwing it over her shoulder, staring at her schedule. Her next class was Government. "Great, where the heck is room 114?" she mumbled to herself. "I have that same class..if you want, I can take you there," responded someone. She turned around to see InuYasha, who obviously heard her. She blushed in embarrassment, and answered with "Thanks." They began to exit the class together, an awkward silence between them. The halls were extremely crowded, defiantly something she wasn't accustomed to at her old, smaller school. "InuYasha?" she said lightly. He gazed down at her big, beautiful eyes, answering with "Hm?" "Are you..a hanyou?" this question made him wince. Here he was, thinking he had actually made a friend, but that question would defiantly drive her away. He sighed. "Yes, my mother is human, my father is a dog demon." She stared at him for a moment. When she didn't say anything, he got frusterated."Let me guess, now you're going to run off too, right? Fine, go away, no need to pussyfoot around."
She gasped. ' His voice..filled with so much hurt.' "InuYasha..people don't accept you?" That made him stop right in his tracks. "Does that come as a shock to you? I'm a half breed, I've been looked at differently my entire life. You're human, you should know that," he spat out. 'He's so..broken.' "Do you honestly believe that there is something wrong with you?" she whispered. This question took him by shock, so he continued walking, as she did also. "There is, Kagome." "No.. there isn't." she replied, angry that he even thought that way. He gasped. No one had ever said those words to him. No one but his mother. He heard the anger in her voice. "Kagome..what are you? I know you're human..but..you have power." he whispered, as they finally reached the classroom. She turned and faced him. " I'm a priestess, InuYasha." He gasped. 'A priestess?! that must mean..' "Come in and have a seat, children!" yelled Ms. Kaede, the teacher of Government. She eyed Kagome suspiciously. "Who are ye, child?" Kagome explained she was new, and showed her her schedule. "Alright, take a seat." Looking around, Kagome spotted an empty seat next to InuYasha,and decided to take it.
Happy she took the seat next to him, he continued their conversation. "So..don't mikos.." he blushed, hoping she would catch the rest of his sentence. she giggled soflty, knowing what he was trying to say, but failed so miserably at. Even her laugh was amazing. "Yes, InuYasha. They're only a few mikos left, and each one is destined to be with a..hanyou." Their eyes met when she finished the sentence. 'So it is true. She's suppose to mate with a hanyou..has she found him yet?' His ears flopped down on his head in disappointment at that possibility, but he didn't quite know why. ' Why do I feel this..bond with InuYasha? He can't be my hanyou..no miko meets their mate at seventeen.' The class slowly began to pass. InuYasha remained deep in thought. He hardly ever thought about finding his miko,heck, he even dubbed it impossible. Kagome wasn't his. He was entirely too young. Hanyous never met their mikos before the age of twenty. That's how it had always been. 'If that's the case, what's this..strange feeling I get when she's around?
