DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA BUT IF I DID, I WOULD WRAP HIM IN A WARM BLANKET AND HIDE HIM AWAY FROM THE WORLD ^_^

Love or Hate?

Chapter 1- Is this A Soap Opera?

Kagome sighed as she stared at the entrance doors of Shikon High. She was waiting for her best friend Sango and hoping that she could avoid her arch nemesis, Inuyasha. They've been enemies ever since pre-school, where Inuyasha thought it was funny to tug on Kagome's hair. Obviously she thought otherwise.

''Hey, look who crawled out of the pig sty! Did the pigs kick you out because THEY thought you had hygiene issues?'' Kagome turned around to only meet a pair of amber eyes. ''C'mon, if you're gonna throw an insult, might as well do it right.'' she said.

''Ooh that hurt, it's gonna take a while to recover from that one, WENCH!''

''WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!'' she yelled.

Inuyasha smirked. ''You heard me, wench''. With that final remark, he walked away smirking, knowing he'd won this time. Kagome was fuming. If she'd been a cartoon, there'd be smoke coming out of her ears and she would've cracked Inuyasha's head open. Sadly, this was the real world.

''Hey, Kagome! Over here!''

Kagome turned around, still red with anger and saw her best friend Sango. Her pout formed into a smile as she hugged her best friend. ''I'm guessing Inuyasha was being a pain?''

''It's a daily routine now.'' said Kagome, already exhausted, even though it was just the beginning of her day. ''One day, I will wipe that grin off his face. With my fist.''

Sango giggled, ''Don't worry, I'd gladly help! Especially with beating up Miroku. His hands need to be amputated from all that groping. Such a pervert.'' They both laughed. Suddenly the bell rang.

''See you later Sango.'' ''Bye, see you at lunch!''

Kagome shifted slowly to her homeroom, deep in thought. Suddenly, she bumped into something, losing her balance. Knowing that the ground below wasn't that soft, she shut her eyes tightly only to find two strong arms wrap around her and pull her up. She opened her eyes hesitantly and saw Inuyasha giving him her boyish grin. Kagome blushed and muttered a thank you. Inuyasha quickly said ''You know you're as heavy as a cow. There's this thing called a diet''. Still smirking at her reaction, he was about to walk away until BAM! There it was, a big red bump throbbing on his head. Kagome looked victorious and strutted away with her books in her hands.

''WENCH!'' he yelled.

Kagome walked into her homeroom and smiled when she saw a few spare seats. She sat down at one that didn't have any gum under it and looked through her books. Inuyasha walked in, rubbing his head and glaring at her. Kagome's eyes popped out from behind the book and returned the glare. As soon as the teacher walked in, she put her book down and waiting for the roll to be called.

Mrs Komasaki squinted her eyes at all the students and then down at the roll. ''Shimo'' ''Here!''

''Kosako'' ''Here!'' ''U-umm...Yuri?'' ''Here, miss!'' ''Kikyo?'' ''Present, miss.''. Hearing Kikyo's voice, Mrs Komasaki looked up and smiled a wrinkly smile to Kikyo. Kagome's head snapped up to see where the voice came from and then saw Kikyo sitting there, shoulds back and straight. She looked confident and calm. Kagome snorted and thought to herself, 'I bet it's all an act. I mean, who can sit straight for that long? I feel sorry for her. Trying to keep an expressionless face while being Inuyasha's girlfriend. I feel for her.'

''Kagome?''

''Kagome, are you here?''

''KAGOME?''

Shaken out of her thoughts, she realised that she was being marked as absent. ''Miss, I'm right here!''

''Ah, there you are. Maybe next time, you can tell me that instead of keeping me waiting.'' Mrs Komasaki said with a small glare. Kagome sinked into her chair and blushed of embarrassment. Inuyasha looked behind from his seat and smirked at her.

Kagome glared and thought to herself, 'Great. This is going to be a REALLY long day.'

WELL! THAT'S THE FIRST CHAPTER! I didn't add any authors notes yet, because this is sort of an introduction to the some of the main characters. Mrs Higurashi, Souta, Shippo, Naraku and Kouga will be mentioned soon! ^_^

Sorry that the chapter's quite short, it's my first time writing a fanfiction so I hope you liked it! ^-^
