Kagome Higurashi is new at Shikon High, a school for humans, mikos, and demons. Now, that would seem pretty amazing to most people, but with a past like Kagome's it's the last thing you would want to see. Not only that but will she be able to show her true self, or will she hide it for the rest of her life? rated PG-13 for slightly verbal language

Chapter 1
Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Beep-beep! A hand protruded from under a cherry-blossom patterned quilt and pressed the button on the green alarm-clock. Then a head popped out. Finally, Kagome Higurashi got out of bed. Kagome is a pretty girl. She has chocolate colored eyes that are filled with life, but also sadness. Her light pink lips were full, and her ebony hair fell past her shoulders in waves. She is what most people would call, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Kagome, time to get up! You have to leave here in 15 minutes! I know you don't want to be late for your first day of school!" her mother called. "I'm up! And how would you know if I want to be late or not!" she yelled, then she dropped her voice, "honestly, she transfers me in the middle of the school year to a school of demons, knowing my past and expects me to enjoy it!" She couldn't ever get that image out of her head, that terrible day. The day where all of her suffering began. She could never make friends because of that day. She could never focus enough to try, it just haunted her wherever and whenever. It was all she could dream about.
"Kagome! Hurry up!" her little brother Souta called, pulling her out of her thoughts and reveries. She hurriedly pulled on a cute, but modest dress, that went down to her knees, with sleeves that went down to her elbows. The dress had a golden design on it, she put a black belt around her waist, and for shoes she decided to wear her white knee almost knee high boots that went almost to the knee. She hurriedly rushed downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast on her way through to the door.
Once outside she grabbed her pink bike (you know like the one she uses in the show). By the time she was 5 minutes away, she realized that a)she didn't know where she was (due to the fact that she just moved to Tokyo) and b)she didn't even know where the school was.
She found a bench and decided to sit down and try to figure out what to do. Then a girl came running by. She looked at Kagome, and slowed down.
"Hey, are you lost?" she asked. "yeah, I am I can't seem to find where Shikon High is." "Shikon High!" the girl exclaimed excitedly. "Well, you're lucky that I stopped by, because that's is where I am going right now! Come with me."
Kagome got up, grabbed her bike, hopped on and the two girls sped away. After about 2 minutes they reached the school's iron gates. The building was huge, majestic, and clearly very old. The girl, whom Kagome had found out that her name was Sango led her to the office to get her schedule and locker number and combination. Sango grabbed it and looked at it. "Hey, you have all the same classes as me and my two friends! Yay! This is going to be so much fun!" The girl was so full of happy energy, Kagome could see it radiating off of her. But then again, she could see everyone's emotions. She was a miko after all. She tried to hide it as much as possible, which although took a toll on her body, it was worth it. She couldn't repeat those events that had happened to her.
Sango grabbed her hand, pulling her out of her reverie, and started to drag her to her locker. They started rushing around the halls to try to find it, when Kagome was bumped into, knocking her to the ground. "Hey, watch where you're going wench!" a voice growled. Kagome had to check herself from getting angry. 'No emotions, no emotions, no emotions...' she kept repeating in her head. "Inuyasha that's mean, you were the one who bumped into her, you should be apologizing to her, not yelling at her!" Sango yelled. "Yes, Inuyasha, you should apologize to this beautiful young maiden here." another male voice agreed. "Don't get me started on you Miroku or I'll..." All of a sudden Miroku went up to Kagome, grabbed her hands and said, "Dear lady, will you give me the honor of..." BAM! Both Sango and Inuyasha banged him on the head, poor (well almost poor) Miroku fell to the floor barely conscious.
Kagome didn't show any signs of emotion. 'What's with this wench? Why isn't she showing any emotion? Don't tell me that she is...' Inuyasha shuddered at the thought. "Yo, wench..." "I'll have you know that I'm not a wench, demon" she said it so coldly, as if she hated the thought of him being one, even if he was just a half-demon. "What's that supposed to mean!" he blew up. He was quite sore about the whole demon subject, and what made him feel most protected was by yelling. It looked like Kagome was about to say something when she quickly shut her mouth, the look of coldness and hate ceased to be in her eyes, now all that was left was emptiness. Before Inuyasha could contemplate the manner, the bell rang.
