Punked

Disclaimer: InuYasha, and all the characters in this story, do not belong to me. The rightful owner of this great series is the wonderful manga artist, Rumiko Takahashi. The only character I own is Shijisha. Also, Cons, Vans, and Dickies are actual brands which do not belong to me, as Rancid, The Distillers, The Briefs, the Ramones, the U.S. Bombs, the Sex Pistols, and The Clash are actual bands which happen not to belong to me either. So, this better clear up things, since the only thing I have worth suing for is my piggy bank. ^_^

*A/N: ~~~ ** means a change in scene or point of view. Also, please review! This is my first fanfic, so tell me what you think!*

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Punkers, and Jocks, and Girls, Oh My!

Hundreds of students stood around sleepily in the entrance hall of Kazuma High School, waiting for the first bell to ring. It was a Monday morning; the first day of school, to be exact. All the students wore expressions that seemed to say "Summer just ain't long enough".

Despite this mutual feeling of mild depression, most students were chatting lively to one another. Notes, gum, pictures, and gossip were already being shared among the halls. Tans, travels, and summer flings were also being discussed. One girl was even animatedly telling her friends how she met Jimmy Fallon *A/N: Aren't you jealous?*.

Amidst all these distractions, we find the two main characters of this story. One stood out because of the ever growing circle of people that gawked at her. The other stood out because of the exact opposite reason; he was a loner, which everyone tried to ignore. The girl was very pretty, having long, black hair, dark eyes, and fair skin. The boy had a rather small, white Mohawk that stood about 2 or 3 inches high, nearly golden eyes, and the overall tough-guy look which indicated that he was never in a good mood.

The girl, Kagome Higurashi, wore a short, red Hawaiian print dress, which reminded people of her heritage. She wore black Vans and let her hair run free, the style that probably suited her best. Her overall personality was that of a sweet, sensitive nature, but a dangerous temper flared up when she experienced an injustice of any kind.

The boy, InuYasha Abunai, looked gothic. Everything he was wearing was black. He wore a black Ramones t-shirt, a black pair of Dickies, a black punker belt, and some black Cons. His (black) backpack was covered with patches of his favorite bands: Rancid, The Distillers, The Briefs, the Sex Pistols, the U.S. Bombs, and The Clash, just to name a few. Hidden inside of that unique backpack was his trusty CD player, with his new Rancid CD in it.

The only thing that these two had in common was that they were both freshman.

Perhaps their summer vacations would describe their personalities better:

Kagome's went fairly well, as she was apt to put it. Her vacation was full of sunny beaches, cute boys (which she tried her best to ignore), and tons of new friends, who she kept amused with her acute sense of humor and good conversational skills.

InuYasha's summer was ok, but not exactly great. First of all, at the end of middle school, he found out that he was put into Honors English and geometry! He hated school work, and almost never did it, even though he was very smart. His teachers knew this, and decided to put him in these classes (and not because they had something against punkers, as InuYasha thought). The good part about his summer, was that he was pretty much allowed to do whatever he wanted, and he took advantage of this fully. He never got out of bed before noon, and usually didn't go to sleep until 1 or 2 in the morning. During the day he would listen to all his CDs, and at night he would watch TV. The only times he ventured outside of his house was for the odd concert here and there that featured punk bands. His Mohawk grew almost 2 feet tall towards the end of the summer, but then his mother insisted he cut it before school started, or face being grounded until he graduated.

This last part from his summer was what got him into a bad mood at the beginning of school. He missed his Mohawk, which had been an object of great pride with him. He could be seen grumbling curses under his breath while walking along sulkily. Everybody made sure that they would stay clear of him.

Everyone except for a certain jerk of a football player, that is…

~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~

"Yeah, man, I did her good. She was fucking screaming!" assured a keen-eyed sophomore in a Kazuma High "jock" jacket, talking to a crowd of other football players.

"Alright man, you won the bet. I didn't think that you could nail a senior," said one of the guys, handing over a 50 dollar bill to the guy who "did her good".

Koga Yaro looked in the other guy's direction to take his "well-earned" 50 bucks. That was when he caught sight of two very interesting people; can you guess which ones? First, Koga's mouth hung open for a few minutes when he caught sight of a certain foxy freshman in a red dress. Then his love-struck expression turned into a that of a disgusted and hateful one. It was an expression that he seemed to save for the one group he hated more than little kids.

"Punkers," he sneered at the white haired boy skulking off in the direction of Koga's "new all-nighter," as his buddies were used to calling the girls Koga set his intentions on.

Koga was not slow in thinking that InuYasha was tailing his woman, and promptly decided that he would set that damned freshman straight…

"HEY!" Koga yelled to InuYasha. "YOU! FREAK WITH THE WHITE HAIR!"

Slowly, yet dangerously, InuYasha turned with an evil look on his face. When he saw who it was, his look turned even darker.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I want to see a real live bastard up close, that's all," Koga motioned InuYasha to come closer.

Already a crowd had gathered, and a unanimous "Ooh!" escaped from the excited teenagers.

"Come on! I've never seen those things so small! Don't you have the balls to let it grow? I'm sure it would make you look taller," he pointed to InuYasha's Mohawk. "God knows he could put on a few inches," Koga whispered to his friends.

As InuYasha heard this, his blood began to boil with anger. He was probably a good 3 inches taller than that football playing ass-hole! Besides, nobody makes fun of his Mohawk!

This produced a round of laughter behind Koga. He turned around to acknowledge his audience, then turned back around to find InuYasha less than five inches away from his face…

BAM!!!!!!!

"OW! YOU BASTARD! WHY DID YOU HIT ME? I SWEAR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" yelled Koga, rubbing his eye, where InuYasha had punched him.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Did that hurt? Didn't think that a short guy like me could do that to a BIG JERK LIKE YOU!" InuYasha yelled out the last 4 words while cracking the knuckles of his right fist, getting ready to punch again. *A/N: Where the hell are the teachers?*

At this moment, the 6 foot Koga realized that the freshman was taller than he was. But he also realized that he was nowhere near as buff, so he decided to take him on.

~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~

"WILL YOU TWO PLEASE STOP BEING SO IMMATURE?!" screamed a female voice.

Both fighters turned to look in the direction the voice came from. Koga was surprised to see his "new all-nighter" standing there with a wrathful look on her beautiful face. InuYasha's eyes darted to where she stood. He briefly wondered who the cute girl was, then brought his attention back to the fight.

An epic battle took place inside of Koga's tiny brain. Should he fight to uphold his pride, or should he be the "mature" one, and forfeit to impress his woman?

He looked around, put his fists down, and plastered a very fake smile onto his face.

"I'm sorry. I would have stopped this fight on my own, but this rascal," he glared at InuYasha, "might have throw one at me," said Koga, flipping InuYasha off behind his back while he turned to Kagome. "May I ask what name is considered pretty enough for your use?"

"Uhhh…I'm Kagome," she said, with an uncertain tone. Since when do high schoolers talk like that?

"Ahhh…a beautiful name indeed," his voice dripping with charm. He walked over to her, grabbed her hand and held it in his for a while. "Are you a freshman?"

"Umm…yes," Kagome faltered, trying to pull her hand away gently.

By this time, the rest of the crowd had drifted away, disappointed that there was no fight. In fact, the only one left with the *A/N: Dare I say it?* couple was InuYasha, glaring at Koga with his fists still clenched by his side, as if expecting to be attacked once Kagome was gone.

"Well, I'd be honored if I could make this year more pleasant for you. Have you had a tour of the school?" he said, his smile showing blindingly white teeth.

"Uhh…actually…" stuttered Kagome, now tugging her hand away.

Koga let go of her hand *A/N: Poor Kagome!*. Instead, he offered his left arm, waiting for her to put hers through. "By the way, I'm Koga. There's a little time before the bell rings. May I show you a around?"

Seeing no way out of this without seeming rude, Kagome slid her arm shyly through his, trying to keep from touching him whenever possible. She could tell that Koga was the womanizing jerk of the school, and would have preferred to stay away from him.

Oh well, it's only for one day, right? Kagome thought.

InuYasha glared at the jock walking off with that girl in the red dress. He clenched his fists, already knowing that he had made an enemy on the first day of school.

~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~ ** ~~~

"Ooh, Shijisha! It's him! Isn't he hot?!" screeched a black-haired girl in a tiny black miniskirt and tight red blouse, pointing at InuYasha.

"Eh…he's ok, I just don't know about the hair," answered Shijisha, looking nearly as sluty as the first girl.

"Well, I think he's hot, and I'll make him mine yet," said the first girl.

"Whatever you say, Kikyo…"

To be Continued…
