'thoughts'

"speech"

Light streamed through lacey lavender curtains and fell upon a head of ebony hair, revealing the face of a beautiful maiden with long eyelashes, and full, pink lips. Waves of black strands spilled across a purple, clothed pillow, not a strand misplaced, and added to her ethereal display of beauty. As the light continued to spread, the porcelain-like being seemed to glow-

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Crash!

A once intact alarm clock now laid in pieces across the room, with the screen still reading 7 o'clock. The delicate hand, that had thrown the clock, slipped back under the comforter and dragged out a dark, tattered, stained, brown book as the other hand lifted the blanket. Sharp, blue eyes opened and immediately started scanning the words in the book while she lift herself out of bed.

"Kagome, dear. It would be wise for you to stop reading the book and get dressed. It's time to get ready." said a voice behind the bedroom door.

Kagome closed her eyes for a moment, put the book down on the bed, pinched the bridge of her nose, and thought 'Damn. How does she always know?'

"Okay mom." Kagome mumbled, as she commenced to put on her new school uniform, bookless. The uniform consisted of a plaid red and grey skirt, that hiked a about two inches above the knees; a red vest covered a white, button-down collared shirt, with a red tie at its neck, and a grey dress jacket covered the vest. To finish it off, she slipped on a pair of gray knee-high socks and a pair of comfortable dress shoes. As she examined herself in the mirror, she brushed out her ebony hair and was ready to go. 'Well, guess it's off to hell' thought Kagome, masking her sadness with a smile. She grabbed her tattered book and book bag, and then opened the bedroom door.

"Morning Sota," greeted Kagome, cheerily, as she set aside her book and bag.

"Hey, sis. Nervous about your new school?" asked her little brother.

"Nah, every school's the same." sighed Kagome, "I doubt I'll be able to find friends this far into the year. The cliques have already formed and I don't have the energy to pretend to like people I'm not going to see when I graduate"

"Now Kagome, with that attitude you'll never make any friends this year," smiled Kagome's mom.

"Yea, Kagome. I'm sure you'll find some friends here. Don't give up hope." whined Sota.

"I know, but-" began Kagome

"Now, Kagome, your brother's right. You shouldn't let what happened affect you in this school. Just give it chance. Okay?" replied the cheery looking woman, who began placing dishes of food in front of Kagome, "Besides, you might find a special someone here."

"Mom!" cried Kagome, blushing.

"I'm only joking" she laughed, "Kagome, just do me this one favor?"

With a sigh, Kagome gave in, "Ok, mom. I'll give it a chance."

When Kagome finished her breakfast, and was getting ready to go a thought struck her. 'Maybe I'll find someone who'll be a challenge.'

"Bye mom," called Kagome, flashing one of her brightest smiles. Sota wasn't fooled; he knew she was covering her fear and anger through that smile to not let mom know of her pain. Kagome's heart was always her downfall and she had yet to talk too any of them about what happened that day. 'I hope you find someone you can talk to Kagome,' thought Souta, with worry etched on his face, 'If there's anyone who deserves a friend it's you.'

While Kagome was walking toward her new school, eyes now focused on the words of the tattered book, a fight had erupted. Had she been paying any attention, she would have noticed the group of uniformed punks, who were attempting to either stab or severely damage each other. Both wore uniforms that were similar in style, but half wore black uniforms, the others were navy blue in color. Unfortunately for Kagome, she was headed straight for the mob.

Turning the corner, Sesshomaru and his brother, Inuyasha, showed up just in time to see her walk into the mess. Inuyasha, being the loud-mouth that he was, voiced, "Hey, girl. You wanna die?" before he started to run. Sesshomaru grabbed him by the collar, successfully stopping him. InuYasha, now sitting on the ground next to the brother,yelled, "Sessh, are you crazy? She's gonna get killed." Inuyasha continued to rant, while trying to free his collar from Sesshomaru's grasp.

"Pay attention, little brother." was his only reply.

When Inuyasha turned to see if the girl was still alright, he found that Kagome was still intact and had already left the mob, unscathed. As she passed them, nose still buried in the book, Inuyasha's head followed the mysterious beauty, while Sesshomaru continued to study the mob, replaying what he'd just seen in his head.

Flashback

The girl continued at her nonchalant, steady pace when a pipe was swung in the direction of her head. Surprisingly, she ducked in time, but then a knife replaced the previous threat as it came from her left. She moved her head slightly forward, only to get a fist headed for her face. Here she moved her head to the right, getting the guy behind her punched in the face. She stepped to right to give the guy in front of her room to move forward, when a random leg came out of nowhere. Using unearthly speed she ducked, swung to left, and trip the assailant. Everybody was so caught up in the fight they didn't notice how they'd inadvertently made a clear path for her, but just as she was about to be free of the mob, the man she'd tripped before was about to tackle her from behind when her elbow met his nose. He crumbled to his knees, clutching his nose. He was about to scream 'Bitch' when another 'mob member' toppled over him, cursing.

All the while, she had the book to her face.

End Flashback

"What the hell is that girl?" asked Inuyasha incredulously, "She ain't human."

Sesshomaru didn't bother answering his question because the very same thought crossed his mind. As Kagome's backside continued to fade, more questions formed themselves within Sesshomaru's mind. He had to find out who this girl was. She'd managed to cover her scent, but she didn't cover the flare in her aura in time. This girl was obviously a powerful being who wasn't to be underestimated. Sesshomaru pulled a cell phone out of his pocket, intent on finding out who this girl was.

Inuyasha sat there in a daze for a few moments before he realized Sesshomaru wasn't next to him any longer. Looking confused, he looked around and then yelled, "Sesshomaru! Wait up!"

He looked at the scene before him for a second, and then ran in his brother's direction. 'Who the hell was that girl?'

When Kagome finally made it to the schoolyard, she proceeded into the building, and stood at the center of the unknown hallway. Finally closing her book, she scanned the area around her and noticed large, separate groups of male students. 'Great,' thought Kagome grimacing, 'Gangs, just my luck.' As she continued to scan the groups, she saw various women with small skirts and unbuttoned tops, hanging all over the males. 'Ugh, whores. Bet some of these boys see potential in me. Idiots.'

Her thoughts were right; a predator by the name of Bankostu had noticed her once she entered the building. In his mind, he was imagining what her feminine curves looked beneath her uniform. Just the thought of making her moan made him hard; licking his lips, he continued to scan her body with lust-filled eyes. 'I will get you my tasty treat' thought Bankotsu. His aura spoke of lust, power, and darkness to Kagome, as they made brief eye contact. 'Bankotsu,' thought Kagome, recalling her research, 'Note to self: perverse freak with a really big sword and the brains of a child. Be careful, could be a problem,' Wary of him and the six others behind him, she continued down the hallway in search of the office.

"Now, where's the main office?" muttered Kagome, but then she detected a being with a high amount of spiritual energy right behind her, "Would you happen to know?"

She'd turned around quickly, surprising a violet eyed, dark-haired, pony-tailed man. His hand was outstretched before he quickly recovered. "Yes, Lady..." he started.

"Higurashi," she smiled, putting her arms behind her back, creating an illusion of innocence.

"Do you have a first name by chance? I'm sure with such a prestigious name comes an equally beautiful name." said the charming pervert.

"Yes it does, but may I ask why you would need to know?" smiled Kagome.

"I'm sure a lovely maiden such as yourself doesn't prefer to be labeled by their families accomplishments. If I recall, isn't the Higurashi line is known for its powerful decendents." answered the pervert.

"I see you're an informed monk, but I hear that there is power in knowing one's name."

"I can assure you Lady Higurashi, I'm only a humble monk whose intentions are sincere. Could you be hiding something Lady Higurashi?"

"That is a possibility, but I could also be a new student whose anxious to get to the office before the bell rings." answered the miko smartly, "Could you now show me where the office is, now that you've succeeded in distracting me?"

Giving up momentarily, the monk smiled, with a glint in his eye. He took her hand and kneeled on one knee, as though he was about to propose, "I will, but, first, will you bear my children."

Kagome was struck dumb, and if she wasn't wearing a skirt, would have fallen headfirst with her legs twitching in the air. The bold audacity of the monk shocked the young maiden before she found herself ready to pummel the life out of him.

"Not so fast, Miroku!" said another voice behind them, "I'm not going to let you take advantage of the new student on her first day here."

"Too late. He almost did." said Kagome, turning around, but not before sending a glare to Miroku that promised future pain.

"Oh really." said the long haired beauty, who cast a glare that would rival Satan himself in the direction of Miroku.

Miroku was visibly trembling with fear, and jumped behind Kagome. He looked at the woman from behind Kagome and answered, "Now, Sango my dear. I'm sure Lady Kagome here was only kidding right."

"Nope. He even asked for me to bear his children." Replied Kagome, innocently, before she directed her attention to the woman named Sango, "My name is Kagome."

"Oh, sorry for not introducing myself, my name is Sango," she said, in a friendly demeanor as she grabbed Miroku by the ear, "I apologize for my boyfriend here."

"Sango, my dear, can you please forgive me?" whimpered the now red-eared Miroku.

Elbowing the top of his head, Sango turned to Kagome and asked, "I was wondering, do you want to sit together at lunch?"

"Okay," replied Kagome, "But I still need to get to the attendance office."

"No problem, since we have some time before class, I can also give you a tour of the school." answered Sango.

"That would be great."

"Miroku, are you coming?" called Sango, walking away.

"It would be my pleasure," replied the pervert the suddenly conscious monk, with a lecherous grin. His only thoughts were on the two beautiful backsides before him. 'It's good to be a man.' thought Miroku. Kagome followed the direction of his lusty gaze and shook her head in disbelief. 'What the hell does Sango see in this guy?' thought Kagome with a sigh, 'It's going to be a long year.'

I hope you all enjoyed it. R&R please.
