Chapter 1

Earth

"Kikyo," a young toddler cried as her older sister was leaving, "wait!"

The woman finally stopped and looked down at her younger sister with a frown, "Kagome I have to go."

"Not into the light Kikyo! You won't come back."

The older sister's tone and expression seemed to hold no emotion, "I am not meant for this world nor the next Kagome, and soon you will learn why."

"You make no sense! Sister!"

The little girl tried running after her sister, but it was too late. She fell in the ground while her sister disappeared into a blinding late, never to return.

The alarm went off forcing 15-year-old Higurashi to awaken from her dream. It wasn't much of a dream rather than a memory she couldn't remember living. Once when it became frequent she asked her mom about it and found out she did have a half sister named Kikyo, but the two had never met. She never even met her father yet, but Kagome didn't really care. Anybody who didn't want to put in the time to be there for her didn't deserve to be on her mind.

After hitting the snooze button a couple of more times Kagome finally got up and changed from her pink kitten pajamas into her school uniform and brushed her teeth. Then came breakfast, it was Monday, so waffles was what was on the menu.

"Anything exciting going to happen at school today?" her loving mother would ask while pouring her a cup of orange juice.

Kagome smiled, "We are getting our scores back from the Geometry test today."

"Did you do good?"

Kagome didn't really answer due to modesty, but of course she would get a high score. She was a dedicated student who had been getting high marks for years, and nothing would change that. It would continue on through high school and she would get into the perfect college where she would marry the perfect man and have the perfect children. She had planned on that ever since she made her dolls leave such a life in the dream doll house she received for Christmas.

"We'll see," Kagome simply smiled.

After being praised a bit more and finishing her waffles Kagome Higurashi was off to school on her pink bike. As usual, she was early to school, and was happy about it since now she had some extra time to look over her homework on the bench outside in the wonderful weather.

"How worthless can you get mutt face!?"

Kagome sighed as her quiet study session was ruined like it was all the time by the two jerks known as Inuyasha and Kouga. For as long as she could remember she had always been in the same classes with those two, which didn't make sense? How could they possibly pass when they never did any homework or studied, and why were they always here early? Shouldn't those idiots be sleeping in or something, and clearly they hated each other, so why did they both show up together?

"I'm not in the fucking mood for you Kouga," Inuyasha screamed showing he clearly had anger management problems, "Besides what did you score on your test? A seven?"

"761 you dumbass," Kouga smirked, "much better than you."

This was when Kagome Higurashi, who rarely judged anyone except when it came to idiots like this, was questioning their sanity. She was in all their classes, and she didn't recall ever taking a test that was possible to score 761 points on.

"Quiet already," Inuyasha crossed his arms against his chest and made his exit, "you're too loud."

Kouga then looked around the courtyard to see what his companion was talking about before he saw the object of his affection. Running forward he stopped in front of Kagome and took her hands, ignoring the fact that he may have damaged a precious science textbook in the process.

"Kagome," he smiled, "how are you this morning."

Ever since middle school Kagome was aware that Kouga had a crush on her, because he made it obvious every time they met. Did he have no dignity? How could you just come up to someone you hardly know and give off declarations of love in public school where rumors could fly down the hall way within seconds? Especially when she already had a boy friend!

"Hey Kouga," she smiled politely while worming her hands away, "how are you this morning?"

"Fine now that I have seen you here," he took the liberty of sitting right next to her knocking a few more books down, "don't you think you study too hard?"

"Well I want to get into a good college," Kagome sighed, "well I wouldn't mind going to a community college, but my mom wants me in Tokyo University, and so does Hojo since he is going there."

"Hojo?"

"My boyfriend, remember? We always go through this Kouga."

"Oh that's right. The girl."

"If you're going to insult my boyfriend then maybe you-

He quickly grabbed her hand again, "I'm sorry Kagome I was just messing around. I do have to go and bum some answers off of that mutt face Inuyasha though, but I will be counting the minutes we are separated."

"Kouga I do have a question," his eyes lit up the second he knew she wanted more of his company.

"And what is that Kagome?"

"Why do you call Inuyasha a mutt face? He doesn't look anything like a dog."

He froze, "Uh…well…he smells like a mutt. The idiot needs to take a shower."

"What was that ass wipe?" Even Kagome jumped when Inuyasha's voice came out of nowhere, and it didn't help that he was standing right behind her.

"Give your mouth a rest puppy," Kouga sighed, "I was just saying good bye to my flower."

Now that she was calmed down Kagome stared at her long time classmate Inuyasha like she often would during class. He was unique, and there was no student similar to him. He had always had long black hair and brown eyes that seemed to always be looking for a fight or some way to start trouble. He wasn't Kagome's type at all, but for some reason her eyes were always glued on him and she could never get him out of her head.

She had never spoken to Inuyasha though despite always watching him. He hated her, she could tell. It seemed like every time their eyes met his held nothing but hate for her, and she didn't know why. What did she ever do to him? He wasn't the type to be in her social circle, but Kagome couldn't stand the fact that someone hated her for no reason.

"Feh," was all Inuyasha could say in response to something that had to do with Kagome, "let's go Kouga. We have shit to do that's more important then your useless rambling."

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief when the two were leaving, but she couldn't help but stare at Inuyasha again. Her heart almost sank though when he titled his head to catch her eyes, and once again was that look of hate. She quickly turned around and pretended to get back to work.

After a few more minutes Kagome was finally surrounded by her people again and forgot all about her moment with Inuyasha and Kouga that had been becoming more frequent. She talked about tests and last night's TV shows with her friends, and held hands with Hojo until it was time to go to class.

"Kagome," Hojo put on his concerned voice worrying Kagome right away.

"What's wrong Hojo?" she asked.

"I know Kouga has been bugging you a lot lately and-

"It's no big deal Hojo. He might have a crush on me, but he knows I am going out with you."

"I know you are loyal to me Kagome, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I heard him talking to Inuyasha in the hallway about you, and I think…I don't know but it sounded like they are planning to do something to you."

"Hojo you need to calm down. Like I said Kouga knows his boundaries, because if he crosses them he freaks out that I won't ever talk to him again, and Inuyasha hates me along with Kouga, so I don't see them doing anything to me any time soon."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive," she gave him one of her famous smiles that was enough to reassure him.

He nodded and they exchanged a few more goodbyes before he went to his classroom on the other side of the hallway. Hojo had always known about Kouga's crush, but he never brought up the two idiots that haunted her every thought until now? What could he have heard the two say, but Kagome's main thoughts were on why Inuyasha would talk about her, and now she felt stupid because her mind was on that jerk.

She spent all day mentally beating herself up about that fact, because in class her eyes were once again on the back of his head. Obviously Kouga was wrong and Inuyasha did take showers, because his hair was so smooth and appealing, wait, she was doing it again!

School ended and Kagome stood up ready to reunite with her boyfriend and friends in the hallway, but after being snapped out of a daze and not paying attention she ran right into what had been her mental target all day.

"Watch it wench!" Inuyasha pretty much growled out after the collision.

"S-s" she couldn't get the words 'sorry' out. Why? It wasn't like she had a crush on Inuyasha or anything and she wouldn't shut up around her boyfriend.

"Are you dumb or something?" he asked, "because I really don't have the time to stand here while you recite the alphabet, and for your information it starts with 'A'."

"Jerk!" she had no trouble getting that out.

"I'm the jerk?" his eyes full of hatred centered on her freezing her like a deer caught in headlights, "you're the one who runs into people and doesn't even apologize? Is it because you're so high and might with your cheer leader friends and honor student boyfriend that you can't even apologize to one of us common folk?"

"That's not-

"See I knew it. You are so disgusted to be forced off your pedestal of greatness that you can't form any words," he decided to take his leave and go to the other side of the hallway, "oh and don't get use to it. You won't always be perfect."

Finally he was gone and Kagome was left with her boy friend talking to her about something or other, but she wasn't paying attention. Why wasn't she paying any attention? Before she would have died to be going out with the hottest boy in school like she was now, but every time she had Inuyasha on the brain she couldn't concentrate. What was it about him?

His words even had her pissed off as rode her bike home. She didn't think she was better than anyone else! How dare he say that! Just because she wasn't off having sex with every body and sneaking off to clubs with illegal Ids at night didn't make her righteous!

If only the rebel without a cause from both now and her childhood wasn't on her mind. If he hadn't been on her mind that afternoon when she crossed the street she could have had the perfect grades, perfect job, and perfect married life. She would have heard the screams about the crazy run away driver going down the street during the red light, and the sports car wouldn't have taken her life.

She saw the car, and had her chance to dodge and miss getting hit escaping with only scraps and bruises, but her mind froze when a voice called out to her.

"Kagome!"

That was Inuyasha's voice, and processing why the voice of the man who hated her but yet consumed her thoughts were too distracted to help her get out of the way. She became even more confused when his body touched hers trying to push her out of harm's way.

"Inuyasha," was her last words before the two teens died of broken necks and blood loss, but that was just the beginning of the story.

(End, for now)

AN: New fanfic for me, why? Because I had an awesome freckin plot about a space romance between Sesshoumaru and Kagome, but then dun dun dun writer's block! And then I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the first four episodes of Yu Yu Hakushou and I came up with this little thingy. I hope you enjoy.
