Kagome, the Hanyou Dog Demon
Chapter 1: Kagome's feelings and the New Student

It was the first day of autumn and there was a sharp nip in the air. Cherry Blossoms floated down from trees in the courty yard of Daidoji Private School for the Gifted. The gifted being the good youkai's, hanyou's, demon slayers, monks, priests and priestesses.

Daidoji Private School for the Gifted was not only known for the intense training that students got while attending. It also had a very high academic record. Another reason why parents allowed there children to attend. There was a war going on in Japan between the good Youkai, humans and the evil Youkai. Demons and humans alike where needed for the war and where trained at this special school. Though they were not forced to join the military once they graduated, but most did end up joining. "For a better tomorrow!" The ones who joined up would say.

This particular morning Kagome, a Hanyou Dog Demon, was sitting on her trumpet case in the school court yard reading a book before school started. Kagome was an especially beautiful girl. She was of medium height with hair that came down just a few inches below her shoulders that was black as coal. She had matching black doggy ears perched on top of her head. Just above her tail bone she had a long black bushy tail. Her eyes where a beautiful shade of golden amber. In her mouth she had fangs that extended out of her mouth when she smiled. On her fingers and toes where long sharp nails for fighting. Kagome had a small sharp nose, and a determined, but dainty chin. Everything about her face was femine with the exception of one thing. Just below her right eye was a cut that went from under her eye and curved down toward her nose. It was covered with dried blood.

This morning Kagome was wearing a faded light blue sweater. Faded old jeans was what she wore on her legs, and under neath that she wore a pair of long-johns to help ward off the cold. Her jeans were so old that long-johns where appropriate to protect her legs from the cold. She sat there reading a book by herself. Half the time she was by herself. Sango, a demon slayer and her only friend, would hang out with her the other half of the time. And then there was Miroku, Sango's unofficial boyfriend. Kagome didn't really like guys of any kind, not that she was a lesbian, because she wasn't. Kagome had her own personal reasons for never dating guys and almost always being hostile towards them; Miroku was a different case. Not only because he was with Sango almost constantly, but because she had grown used to him. He had 'grown' on her. Kagome actually enjoyed his company though she rarely spoke to him.

As Kagome was reading her book she noticed Sango walking towards her with her perifial vision. She put her book up and greeted Sango cheerfully.

Kagome: Hey Sango! Wusup?

Sango: Hey Kagome. Nothin' much. You?

Kagome: Could be better, could be worse. Ya know how it is.

Sango: Yeah. Oooh! Hey, have you heard about the new student? I heard that he is REALLY hot!

Kagome narrowed her eyes and replied some-what icily. "NO, I haven't heard about him! Why should I care?"

Sango laughed lightly and gently shoved Kagome with her shoulder and said "Kagomeee, one day you'll get into guys! But I guess you don't have to care for now..."

Just then Miroku came up to the girls, "Kagome." he greeted her cordially. "Miroku." Kagome responded. This was how they normally greeted each other.

Miroku: cheerfully Ladies, good morning! Sango, wus up girl?

Sango: Oh, hey Miroku! Nothin' much, how 'bout you?

Miroku:...

Just then, the bell for school to start rang and they all rushed off to first period. Kagome picked up her trumpet case and ran to class. Once there, she went to her seat in the trumpet section. Kagome got out her trumpet and began to clean it. Once done she oiled the valves. As she was doing that, the teacher walked in. Following close behind him was a student. Kagome looked up and watched the new student, studying him intently. It was a male, about 17 years old Kagome guessed. He was wearing a red kimono made from the Fire Rat Demon. No shoes on his feet. He had long white hair that came down to about his waist and matching white doggy ears perched on top of his head. Claws extended from the tips of each finger on both hands and when he smiled fangs shown in his mouth, just like Kagome. She could tell right away that he was a Hanyou Dog Demon like herself even though he lacked a tail. 'He is hot, especially with that red kimono!' Kagome thought. This thought surprised Kagome very much. It wasn't like her to think random thoughts like that about a guy. Then she noticed him looking back at her, and a tiny smile was beginning to creep across his face. Kagome blushed and immediatly looked down and continued to busy herself taking care of her trumpet. She felt a slight tinge in her heart when she noticed him looking at her. 'What the HELL is going on with me!' She thought. Inuyasha spotted Kagome starring at him. He couldn't explain it, but the way she looked at himgave him a funny feeling inside. The girl saw him staring back at him; Inuyasha smiled at her and she blushed and then looked back down. There was something about her...something he couldn't explain; his stomach got butterflies in it and his heart flopped in his chest, as well as his heart rate speeding up.

The teacher then called for Kagome to come to the front of the class. She put her trumpet back in it's case and went to the front of the class room.

Sensei: Kagome, this is Inuyasha. He is our new student here. Inuyasha, this is Kagome. She is also a Hanyou Dog Demon.

Inuyasha and Kagome bow to each other respectfully. As they come back up Kagome flashes Inuyasha a glare. Her eyes sparkle threateningly.

'Shes very pretty. Even with that cut under her eye!' Inuyasha thought approvingly about Kagome.

Sensei: Kagome, Inuyasha plays percussion, and I would like for you to play it for a while to show Inuyasha the ropes and answer his questions.

Kagome: Yes Sensei. As you would have it.

They both bowed to their sensei and then Kagome lead Inuyasha back to the percussion section after she put her trumpet up. On there way back, Inuyasha tried to make small talkwith Kagome.

Inuyasha: So, your a hanyou too? A Hanyou Dog Demon?

Kagome glanced over her shoulder and gave Inuyasha an icy glare.

Kagome: icily It would appear so!

Inuyasha: You play both the trumpet and percussion?

Kagome heaved a sigh, exsaperated with Inuyasha's questions.

Kagome: prideful and cocky I play all the instruments!

Inuyasha noted the attitude in her voice, but wasn't sure what to make of it. After all, he hadn't done anything to her.

Inuyasha: Really! Thats cool. I only play percussion.

Kagome sniffed at him. You could tell that Kagome thought she was better than him.

Inuyasha: Whats your damn problem! I hadn't done anything to you!

Kagome continued to walk on, ignoring his last comment.

During class Kagome answered all of Inuyasha's questions curtly. She hated having to help the new student. If he had been a girl, it would have been different. She was aggrivated with him constantly, like a pebble stuck in her shoe. She could kinda tell that he liked her, even though she had been rude to him. When the bell rang for first period to end Kagome rushed out of the room. Inuyasha tried to keep up; he had been hoping that she would help him find his next class, but she quickly lost him in the throng of students in the halls.

Two and a half hours later the bell for first lunch rang. Kagome dog trotted out of her class to the lunch room. She was the first in line and as Kagome was getting her tray Sango came up behind her.

Sango: Hey Kagome!

Kagome: Oh, hey Sango! excited Girl, you will NEVER believe who is in my band class!

The lunch lady scolded the girls for holding up the line, so they scooted along, forgetting there conversation for the moment. Once they sat down they began to eat, still not remembering about the droped conversation.

When they where finally done eating Miroku showed up. Standing nearby was Inuyasha. When he spoted Kagome he flashed her a fanged grin. Kagome rolled her eyes at him.

Miroku: Sango, Kagome I would like to introduce you to the new student,...

Inuyasha: Hey Kagome.

Miroku:..Inuyasha. Have you two met already?

Kagome replied coldly,"Unfortunately yes."

Sango: Nice to meet you, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: Yeah you too Sango.

Kagome spoke harshly to Inuyasha every time she opened her mouth. You would have to be completely dumb not to tell that she didn't like him. Once every one was introduced the boys sat down to eat. Not ten minutes had passed before the bell for 4th period rang.

Before they left Sango asked Inuyasha if she could look at his schedule. "Sure. Here." He said and handed it over. Sango examined the piece of paper for a minute and then bursted out laughing. Kagome look at her perplexed.

Kagome: Whats so funny Sango?

Sango looked first at Kagome and then at the other two. She smiled broadly at them and then replied.

Sango: Kagome, Inuyasha has the same class as you next! Demonic Power and Fighting Training!

Miroku grimaced. Inuyasha only smiled at Kagome some more, while she growled deep in her throat. She narrowed her eyes in a glare at Inuyasha. She didn't like him smiling at her. It made her stomach go all in knots.

Kagome: I had better go!

Inuyasha seized the chance and asked her. Kagome tried to get away before he could get around to it, but he managed to stop her.

Inuyasha: Kagome, can you show me where the class is?

Kagome, trying to keep calm and not look bad in the eyes of her friends, only growled lowly at this.

Kagome: Fine! But keep up! I don't want to be late and I can't wait up for you!

With that, she took off towards class. Bobbing and weaving in and out of the tangle of bodies that crowded the halls. Kagome was small enough to do this, but people seemed to just move out of Inuyasha's wayfor him.

Once there, Kagome paused at the double doors and looked into the class. Inuyasha stood close by and watched her. After only a moment, Kagome pushed the door open and walked in. She walked to the far right side of the room and stopped. Inuyasha followed. The room was extremel large. Large enough to fit a football feild inside it. In the center there was a very large white mat that covered a large amount of the floor, and the ceiling had togo up about at least a hundred feet, if not more. Inuyasha could figure out that it was for sparing and practice fighting. Kagome turned to face Inuyasha, a look of menacing satisfaction on her face.

Kagome smirked at Inuyasha and then said, in a voice full of pride,"I see you have a kimono made from the Fire Rat Demon. I, too, have a kimono made from the Fire Rat!"

She said as she started to walk towards the changing rooms. Five or so minutes later she came back out. Kagome was wearing a red kimono that matched Inuyasha's in color exactly. She had the pie slices in the upper part of the sleeves and instead of having two seperate leg holes, it was a skirt with slits that went all the way up to her waist. Underneath she had her under kimono that was a creamy white. This did have two leg holes for her legs, and the hems bunched together at theankles like Inuyasha's did.

Inuyasha took in her appearance slowly. He liked what he saw. Kagome was very pretty...more than just pretty, but he would never admit this to himself. And there was something else about her that he couldn't quite put his finger on. For some reason, he had this strange feelings welling up inside him when he thought about Kagome a lot. It wasn't desire, he knew, though she WAS attractive enough to stir up such feelings inside any mature male. 'What the HELL am I thinking?!' thought Inuyasha. He shook his head to erase these thoughts and feelings.

Just then the sensei came out of his office and motioned for Inuyasha to come over. Inuyasha walked over to his teacher and they bowed to each other.

Sensei: I am Sensei Chang. I will be your Master of Training. You must be Inuyasha, correct?

Inuyasha: Yes, Sensei Chang, I am Inuyasha.

Sensei Chang: Good, good. And you are a Hanyou...?

Inuyasha: Dog Demon, Sensei. A Hanyou Dog Demon.

The sensei nodded his head slightly and then said, "Very interesting. I am a hybrid yuokai. Half Wolf yuokai and half Dog yuokai." The sensei turned to address the class.

Sensei Chang: Attention class! This is our new student, Inuyasha. He is a Hanyou Dog Demon, and I expect everyone to treat him fairly, just as you would Kagome. So I want NO hazing! That means you Kouga!

Sensei Chang turned and fixed stern eyes on a Yuokai Wolf Demon. Kouga was wearing brown furry clothing on his waist, upper chest, wrists and ankles. He had on a black head band on and his eyes were blue. His hair, also black, was up in a high pony tail that was rather long. He wore no shoes on his feet.

Kouga looked around innocently before making eye contact with the sensei. He smirked at his friends and then bowed slightly to the sensei. Inuyasha figured he must be an advanced student since he wasn't wearing a kimono. His guess was correct.

The Hybrid Yuokai motioned for Kagome to come over. She looked a little surprised, but walked over. She bowed to the sensei and spoke.

Kagome: Yes, Sensei?

Sensei Chang: Aah, Kagome. One of my star pupils! Inuyasha, Kagome is also a Hanyou Dog Demon! Inuyasha, I would like to test you, to see how good you are, and how far along you are in fighting skills. Your sparing partner will be Kagome here.

The sensei then addressed the class.

Sensei Chang: Clear the mat, everyone! Inuyasha is going to demonstrate his fighting capabilities by sparing against Kagome.
