"Beep Beep Beeeeeeeeeeee- SLAM!" a hand shot out from under the covers and hit the annoying alarm clock. "To early to wake up." grumbled a form under the sheets. The sheets were then thrown off and a teenage girl sat up and swung her legs over the bed and stumbled over to her bedroom door and into the hallway to go to the bathroom. Once she finally got to the bathroom she turned on the water and went over to the shelf and pulled off a towel. She stripped her pajamas and stepped into the shower letting the welcoming, warm water cover her. She grabbed the shampoo she just bought yesterday and washed her hair and grabbed the bar of soap and lathered up.
"Still sleepy…" she said as she leaned against the wall of the shower and closed her eyes. Her eyes shot open as she realized she had to get ready for school. "Damn school." she muttered and turned off all of the hot water. She braced herself and then felt the shock of ice cold water wash over her skin. She squeaked and quickly shut off the cold and jumped out to wrap the towel around her. She poked her head out into the hallway and checked to see if it was empty and it was. She then walked to her room quickly and sighed. 'At least there isn't any guys running around. Seems like mom's not home. What a shock' she thought sarcastically. Her mom was hardly home and when she was there was always some guy that came home with her from the bar.
The girl then grabbed her blow dryer and dried her raven colored locks of shiny hair. She then put on a bra and underwear and pulled on a pair of shorts and a dark blue spaghetti strap shirt. She then put on some lip gloss so her lips didn't look like a desert and grabbed a pair of flip-flops and her white jacket. She put the jacket on and looked in the mirror. She smiled a little and thought she looked presentable enough. It was just school after all. She grabbed her book bag that was hanging on the back of her door and headed downstairs. When she got down there she saw that the kitchen had beer cans and empty bottles of alcohol all over. She sighed and looked at the living room and saw that it was in no better shape. She looked at the time and saw that she had ten minutes until she normally left.
She went to a cabinet and pulled out a garbage bag and started to pick up all the cans and bottles. When she finally got all the empty containers in the bag she heaved it out to the dumpster and slung it in with a big "Oomph!" she sighed and grabbed her bag and headed to school. She made it to the crosswalk about twenty minutes later and saw her best-friend Sango standing there as usual. "Sango! Hey thanks for waiting." she said while walking up to her friend and waiting til' they could walk. "Oh, no problem Kagome you would wait for me, right?"
Kagome laughed a nervous laugh and said "Of course I'd wait for you what kind of friend do you think I am?" Kagome laughed at Sango's mock hurt and said "You know I'd wait for you and that I'm just kidding." They both laughed and started across the street when they saw the light turn green.
Both the girls were laughing at something that had happened to Sango's little brother last night, when they made it to the high school. They walked in and saw there friends Ayame, Rin, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Kouga and Shippo sitting at one of the tables. They walked over to them and sat down. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and noticed his stare was colder more than normal and directed in a certain direction. She turned around and saw a guy with silver hair like Sesshomaru's and the most adorable little dog ears on his head.
'He must be a demon." Kagome thought to herself. She then looked back and noticed something that really made her sick. Sick from annoyance and hate that is. Kagome saw that this new kid was already surrounded by all the preppy people and that all of the girls were staring at him. One in particular was Kikyo Yamako who was the most popular girl in school. She was talking to him and flirting and she had a boyfriend for God's sake!
Kagome's glare, if possible became colder than Sesshomaru's while they both stared at the repulsive scene. Of course the populars will all go after any new kid they can get their hands on so they can taint them into tormenting and making all the other kid's lives more of a living hell. Then if the person doesn't do what they want them to they will just kick them out of the group and make their life as horrible as possible.
That's the way it was with Kagome when she first moved to this district.
(Kagome's flashback)
They welcomed her into the group with fake loving arms and then shoved her out with those same arms only they weren't fake and loving. Her and Kikyo were once good friends, but like they say not all good things last. Kagome had come to this school after her father died in a car accident which devastated her completely. When she came to school that group asked her to sit at their table with them at lunch and she couldn't say no exactly because she had no other friends at the time being. She did and she was sat next to Kikyo who looked strangely similar to her. They were good friends until one day when Kagome finally realized what Kikyo was really like. All of them were like that and she was just too blind to see it. They were picking on this poor freshman that wasn't exactly fit and not the best looking.
They were picking on the poor girl, calling her names such as fatty, and ugly, and telling her that she had a face a mother couldn't even love and that she should be in a Ripley's Believe It or Not as world's ugliest. Kagome was weak enough to just stand there and watch it all happen and that's when the girl started crying and the group looked at Kagome and told her to tell the girl how ugly she was.
Looking back now Kagome just couldn't see how she could be so stupid to even sit at the table with them. To tell the poor girl how ugly she was, that was the final initiation in order to stay on their good side. Kagome, however, wouldn't have that. There was no way she was going to tell this innocent girl she was ugly and worthless. During the time that Kagome was thinking all of this the girl turned and ran down the sidewalk with tears falling down her face. Kagome looked up to see this and then shook her head as Naraku, one of her so called 'friends' said "You missed your chance to tell her the truth Kagome! Stupid, ugly, worthless, scum any of those would have worked."
"Naraku shut the fuck up, all you are doing is describing your group." Kagome said coldly as she turned and jogged after the crying girl. "What did you say! Kagome your life is going to be made a living hell!" yelled Naraku. Kagome just shook her head as she made it to a corner and turned. She saw the girl walking slowly down the walkway with her head hung low. She ran up to the girl and told her she was so sorry and that she wasn't ugly in any way.
From that day forward that group had tried to make her life a living hell in any way that they could and all it did was infuriate Kagome to no end.
(End of Kagome's flashback)
Kagome's glare lessened as she thought about the fact that they were the reason she was able to find great friends like she was sitting with currently. She then looked at Sesshomaru and wondered why the hell he was even taking an interest. It was so against his uncaring attitude that he had built up. "Hey Sessh?" she asked while nudging him with her elbow lightly. "Hnn?" was his reply while he looked at her out of the corner of his eye glaring at the nickname he was used to. "Why are you so interested in those asses all of a sudden?" she asked with a quirked eyebrow while motioning towards the so called asses.
Sesshomaru just glared at the group as he told her "That idiot over there is my fucking half-brother, Inuyasha." Realization struck her as she looked over at Inuyasha and saw all of the similarities. The same amber eyes, though Sesshomaru's were more cold where as Inuyasha's were full of fire and life, and the same silver hair, Inuyasha's shorter and more unruly than Sesshomaru's straight, silky, waist length hair. She looked at Sesshomaru and asked "Why do you talk as if you hate him?" "Because he is worthless and hot-headed, not to mention stupid." was Sesshomaru's reply.
Kagome laughed at Sesshomaru's answer as the bell rang and they all went to their classes. Kagome made her way to her locker to put away her bag and grab all the materials for math. She sighed as she shut her locker and started for her classroom. She was stopped abruptly as someone tried to slap her books out of her hands on onto the floor. However she had quick reflexes and saw the hand coming. She tightened her grip on her books just before the hand made contact. The hand was strong and made her lean forward slightly. She looked up and saw the disappointed eyes of Naraku and Kikyo looking at her with hate. She grinned while she said "Nice try but to slow and weak." Naraku snarled and Kagome just continued walking hating the days when Naraku decided not to skip school.
She had made it to the door of her classroom and was about to enter when she heard the intercom say "Kagome Higurashi, please come to the office. Kagome Higurashi to the office." she gave a little groan of annoyance and turned around to head to office. "What do they want from me?" she asked to herself in the empty hallways as she sulked to the office.
She got to the office door and knocked twice. She then entered and saw Inuyasha sitting in a chair across from the principal, Kaede, while looking over what she took to be his schedule. Kagome then knew what was happening. 'Oh great I have to show him around and every person that had to show a new kid around had that kid in 'every' class.' Kagome thought while sighing. She sat down in the chair next to Inuyasha and noticed his features. You could tell he had well toned muscles under his black cotton t-shirt and he was pretty good looking. Inuyasha looked up from his paper and into her eyes. He gave a small smile signaling a hello and she returned it. 'He can't be that bad. He doesn't have that stuck up air surrounding him.' Kagome thought. She then looked at Kaede expectantly waiting for her to get off of the phone.
"Hello Kagome, always nice to see you." said Kaede kindly. Kagome smiled and said "Likewise." Kagome loved the woman like a grandma and respected her. Kagome had liked her from their first meeting in the parking lot at a store. She had helped open the trunk of Kaede's car because she had her hands full.
"Since you two kids share all the same classes I decided it would be easiest if you could just show Inuyasha around the school." Kaede said while nodding towards Inuyasha. Kagome smiled and said "No problem." "Okay then I should send you guys on your way." Kaede said while handing each of the teens a pass for their class. They both then got up and walked out the door.
"Well I'm Kagome Higurashi, nice to meet you." she said nonchalantly while smiling at him. He smiled back and said "Nice you meet you, name's Inuyasha Takahashi." After this Kagome headed back to her first hour class and Inuyasha followed. "So any people I should be warned about while we're here?" he said after a moment. Kagome looked at him and smirked teasingly "Well there is a couple of people you should watch out for." "Oh, really?" he said playing along. "Who?" She then went on "Well first of all there's me." she said while looking away looking innocently. Inuyasha laughed and said "And who's the other?" "Well you probably already know him." she continued. "He's one of my best friends and seems to dislike you already." "Who? Now I'm curious." Inuyasha said while matching his pace with hers and looking down at her. "Sesshomaru your brother. Why does he dislike you so much?" she asked curiously. Inuyasha looked at her and glared while saying "Because of what I am." "What are you?" she asked confused. "I'm a half-demon which is a disgrace to the world in his eyes." Inuyasha said while looking at her pointedly. "Well that's not true. If you ask me it doesn't matter what you are as long as you're a good person on the inside." Kagome said while looking ahead. 'Why did I say that?' she thought.
'Kagome really means what she said, I can't smell any hint of a lie coming from her.' Inuyasha thought while looking at the girl from the corner of his eye. She was really a beautiful girl and she had a great body and a great personality from what he could tell so far. "Well anyway back to the point you asked. The people I would look out for would be the group with people like Kikyo, Naraku, Kagura, Kanna, Bankotsu, and Jakotsu." Kagome said while looking at him. "But I don't have any right to tell you who to hang out with so do what you want." she finished.
"Oh I think I'll trust in you." he said.
They rounded the corner and stopped at a door that said Mrs. Shiki and they knocked and walked in to see a short, plump red-haired woman with glasses kind smile. They went to her desk and handed her the passes. After giving the passes a glance she said "Thanks Kagome you can take a seat and Mr. Takahashi you can introduce yourself." Kagome walked to her normal seat in the back of the room and sat down. She then sat and watched as Inuyasha introduced himself and she smiled as he finished awkwardly. He stood there and rocked back and forth on his feet like you do when you're nervous and pressed his lips together signaling he had no more to say. "Umm, so… yeah that's pretty much it." he said while looking around.
Mrs. Shiki then told him to take a seat anywhere he wanted and he walked down the rows to an empty desk next to Kagome. He sat down and the teacher started to explain all of those confusing math problems I don't want to explain. Thirty minutes later all of their hands hurt from writing everything and the teacher who was awesome said "No Homework! Isn't that great?" All the kids yelled "We love you so much Mrs. Shiki!" Then the bell rang and they all filed out of the class room. Kagome and Inuyasha walked out and they went to their next three classes which were science, English, and art.
The two teens were putting away all of their tools used in art into their totes when the bell rang signaling lunch. Kagome loved lunch the most out of her day. Inuyasha noticed that Kagome was moving quicker than usual when the bell rang and he laughed and asked "Hungry much?" "Well of course I'm practically starving. I think my belly is touching my backbone I'm so hungry." Kagome said dramatically. Her stomach then growled loudly to prove how hungry she was. They laughed and headed for their lockers.
It ended up that Inuyasha's locker was on the other side of the hallway and a couple down from Kagome's. They walked to lunch together and Kagome ran up to meet her friends. Inuyasha came up beside her and said "Hey." with a smile on his face. "Oh guys this is Inuyasha the new kid around." Kagome said while continuing the introductions. "Inuyasha, Sango. Inuyasha, Miroku. Inuyasha, Ayame. Inuyasha, Kouga. Inuyasha, Shippo. Inuyasha, Rin." she said while signaling to the named person. They all said 'hey' and then noticed that both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were glaring daggers at each other. Kagome sweat-dropped and explained it to them while the two guys had evil in their eyes. "Sooooo! Who wants to get food!" Kagome asked while slinging her arms around each guy and dragging them to the food and away from each other. She stood between them while they got in line to get their food.
When they all got their trays Inuyasha heard his name being called. He found the source of the voice and saw the people he was talking to this morning. They were also the people that Kagome had warned him about. He didn't really care much for them in the first place and didn't think he ever would. Kikyo was waving him over to come and eat with them but when he looked at Kagome he saw that she was glaring at them from the corner of her eye. You could hardly tell she was annoyed or mad at them but he was a demon and he could smell it coming off her lightly. He looked at Kikyo and waved then walked over and sat between Shippo and Kagome. He looked at of the corner of his eye and could see Kikyo fuming while all of the group of her friends all glared and started talking amongst themselves. He smirked and started to talk to his new friends about how inedible school food was but he was eating it like it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Kagome had sat down and heard Inuyasha's name being called. She found the source of the voice and realized it was Kikyo. Inuyasha looked over at that group and Kagome felt her heart give a pang. She ignored it and told herself that it was his decision if he became their friends or not. She finally got herself to get over it when she saw Inuyasha wave at Kikyo then plop down in the seat next to Kagome totally ignoring Kikyo. Kagome about chocked on her food when Inuyasha started to make conversation with everyone. She smiled slightly at the fact that Inuyasha had made a good choice in his friends and was laughing maniacally in her head at the rage on Kikyo's face when he ignored her. They all finished their lunch and threw put their trays up when they bell rang and they all went to class.
The rest of the day went by uneventful and when the final bell rang they went to their lockers grabbed their books and headed out of the school and towards home. Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango all walked down the street to go home. It turn out that Inuyasha only lived a few blocks away from Kagome. When they finally made it to the cross walk Sango waved goodbye and headed in the direction of her house. Kagome and Inuyasha walked side by side and were talking about stuff when Sesshomaru zipped by in his shiny, black, bmw convertible. Both Kagome and Inuyasha glared and growled that they were going to steal his car and make him walk to school everyday. They looked at each other and said "That is a plan we will have to take caution over." They then laughed and they walked up to Inuyasha's house and Kagome said bye and continued on to her house.
When she got home she unlocked the door with her keys and walked in to find yet again that the kitchen was filled with bottles again. She sighed and walked past the kitchen to see her mom making out with some guy and she almost gagged as she rushed past and ran upstairs and into her room. She shut the door and sighed while she took out her homework and finished it. When she was done she pulled out her laptop and got on and checked her emails. It was all junk mail and she sighed. 'What can I possibly do on such a boring day." she said to her self while lying on her bed and looking at the ceiling. Not knowing just how tired she was she drifted off to sleep.
