A World Of My Own Chapter 1: A Strange Coin, an inuyasha fanfic

A World Of My Own

A/N: My first Inuyasha fanfiction. I have another account I use for Bleach fanfictions. I also apologize if my knowledge is only half complete, but I am steadily reading my way through the manga. Also, romance is most definitely NOT MY THING, so this is just a little test of my writing skills. After all, there is basically no other genre you can write about Inuyasha besides romance. So, here we go.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA.

Chapter 1:

A Strange Coin

Umm… how do I do this question again? Kagome asked herself for the third time, 15 minutes into the math test, and she didn't remember the concept. Shifting her hand under her chin in a more comfortable manner, she continued down the page, chewing thoughtfully on the back of the pencil.

A bit more than an hour later, she was strolling out of the classroom with a relieved air, folder and books clutched under my arm. Kagome's friend, Yuka, dropped in beside her.

"Hey Kagome! I can't believe they make us take all that crap." She complained to her friend.

"Mmm…" Kagome replied halfheartedly, her mind elsewhere. They walked to their lockers with Yuka still chatting away and Kagome- well, she was in dreamland.

"Kagome?"Who is that again? "Kagome. Wake up!" Somebody was talking to her… Oh! Yuka! She thought suddenly and catapulted herself out of her daydreams.

"Huh? Waddya want?" she stared imploringly at her friend.

"I was just asking you, are you going to the winter dance with Hojo-kun?"

"Uh… I dunno…" she shrugged, mumbling some random excuses and turned away to put her stuff in my locker, opening the door in Yuka's face to block her out.

"Come on Kagome." Yuka pulled the door back and looked at her. "You're just avoiding the question. Hojo-kun's asked you out various times and every time you've made up some lame excuse not to go out with him. Why?"

Kagome looked away and starting fiddling with her folder, muttering something about not being interested.

"What?" Yuka caught wind of Kagome's muttering and craned her neck forward to hear.

"Isaid, I'm not interested."

"WHY NOT??!!" She asked, teetering on the brink of panic.

"You know what, Yuka? Maybe there is a perfect guy out there for me. Maybe I am destined for someone. I don't know. What I do know is that guy IS NOT Hojo."

There was a little sound behind them and they both spun around to see Hojo standing there with a pained expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, Higurashi. I never knew you felt that way." He gulped and looked down.

"Hojo…" Kagome frowned. How should she say this? "Hojo… I did mean what I said, but you're … a nice guy…"

"Thank you Higurashi." His face brightened considerably, as always when somebody complimented him. Happy once again, he turned and walked away with a little spring in his step.

"You see?" she turned and hissed to Yuka. "I don't want a guy who is that … simple!"

Yuka gasped and clutched her heart as if Kagome had stabbed a knife there. "Did you just say Hojo-kun was simple?" She stared at her in horror.

"Yes. Now leave me alone." And Kagome hurried away to her next class, closing the locker door in Yuka's face and never looking back, though she could feel her friend's eyes boring into her back.

Halfway through class, she winced at a piercing pain in her head. It shot through and then subsided, but left a dull but extremely painful ache throbbing in her forehead. Kagome raised her hand and asked hurriedly to be excused, after which she walked down the hallway clutching her head. A small draft of wind brushed against the back of her neck, and she thought she heard a slight rustling of clothes. Turning, Kagome saw nothing except a small golden coin dropping to the floor with a clatter.

Weird… She stooped and picked it up, looking at the designs on it. They were odd, consisting of a large dog and a round ball, seemingly a jewel. Suddenly, as she stared, the world began to spin and she descended into darkness, the pain in her head intensifying until she blacked out.
