Shikon Point (Chapter 1)

It was a sunny day. A girl with long black hair ran along the side walk, hurrying to get to her destination. She was holding a notebook in one hand & her book bag in the other. She stopped not once until she reached Midoriko High School. She was almost late for school on her first day! Kagome was almost never late & she hated it when she was.

"C'mon Kagome" she thought to herself, "just a little farther."

Just as the doors started to close she slipped in. She just stood there for 10 seconds thinking about how she had made it in time without stupid InuYasha & his stupid car. She had made it there without a car ride from anyone that day, but then she remembered she still had to get to class. She scurried off to her first class of the year with a smile on her face.

"See, I can do stuff without him if I want to" she thought to herself as she sat down. Then she forgot about almost being late & put her full attention on school.


Sango was daydreaming when she felt someone's hand edging its way down her back. She turned to see a dark haired boy leaning over his desk making his way to her butt.

"Miroku!" There was a loud slapping sound. Everyone turned in their seats to see a red handmark on the boy's face & a very angry Sango. They immadieatly turned back around as if nothing had happened. Everyone was used to this, it happened everyday. A less than surprised teacher walked calmly over to Miroku's desk. She took out a detention form, put it on his desk & walked back to the front of the class as smoothly as ever.

"I should have known", Sango thought to herself. Miroku was always trying to touch her butt. She couldn't blame herself for not expecting it on the first day since there had been no Miroku to slap during the whole summer, but she still wished she had been ready for it.

She started to drift back off into her dream world when she heard a little "Pssst" & turned around.

"You didn't have to slap me so hard." an embarassed Miroku whispered to her.

"You didn't have to be a pervert like last year" she mumbled back. She looked around the room to see if any of her less perverted friends were in the class at this time as well. She didn't see any, so she turned back around to Miroku.

"Any new victims?" she asked Miroku casually as she scanned the walls (she didn't want to look him in the eye in case he got any ideas).

"Only you." he replied with a smirk.

"So you had a smack-free summer?" she asked, already knowing the answer.

"Well... I didn't say that..."

"It's always the same with you, Miroku."

"What's that supposed to mean!" he asked, almost forgetting to keep his voice down.

"You know what it means." she replied. Miroku seemed to tighten up a bit at this. He knew that he liked women & he felt he didn't have to apologize for that. Sango turned back to the front of the classroom thinking that their conversation was over.

"What did you do this summer?" Miroku asked quickly, trying to keep the conversation going.

"Oh, I found the love of my life & now I'm pregnant." she said sarcastically. She didn't want to talk about her summer with Miroku. She didn't want him to know she had pretty much no fun without him.

"What!" Miroku said a little too loudly.

"Miroku, do you need another detention?" the teacher asked in an uninterested way. She was quite used to having to be strict with Miroku.

"No, Mrs. Kaede." he said almost as though he had memorized those three words.

"Good." She continued teaching & Miroku looked back at Sango. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She quietly laughed at Miroku's jealousy. He always flirted with other women, but if she ever showed any interest in a different man the green monster came out.

"Happy now?" Miroku asked with regret.

"You should have seen your face. You really believed it!" she quietly informed him.

"Why wouldn't I believe that?" Miroku asked seriously.

Sango began to answer & then stopped. This is what she hated him & loved him, he always somehow complimented her in a way that really made her happy when she was trying to be angry with him. She wished she didn't like him. She wished she could take some interest in another guy, but she just didn't really like any other guys like that. She could never tell if Miroku knew that though. Somehow he could be secretive so easily.

Suddenly the bell rang. She gathered her things & headed for the door as quickley as possible.

"San--" Miroku started, but then he realized she was already halfway out the door. He sighed & left for his next class.


InuYasha shuffled to his new locker as he looked over the detention form he had gotten for being late. He sighed. It was the first day & he was already in trouble. He knew he would also be getting it from Sango & Kagome for forgetting to pick them upHe always drove them to school, but he had just skipped it that day because of his lateness. Sango wasn't the real one he'd have to fight with about being late though. It was Kagome. She always got mad at him so easily. It really pissed him off. Kagome never got as pissed with Miroku as she did with him & Miroku was the biggest pervert of the century! Now that he thought of it Sango was the one that yelled at Miroku when he did something wrong. Did they have some kind of system?

"Hey, Inu." InuYasha turned around to see Miroku. He noticed a slightly red mark on Miroku's face which was anything, but unusual.

"Hi Miroku." InuYasha said while loading his stuff into his locker.

"Who did you have in your home room?" Miroku asked.

"The only ones I knew were Kikyo & Kouga." he replied shortly. "Shouldn't you be putting away your things at your own locker?"

"Already done." Miroku said proudly.

"Yeah well, it's not like there's a prize for being early." InuYasha mumbled. "Can you believe the teachers? I already got a detention." InuYasha protested.

"Yeah. I got one, too." Miroku said helping InuYasha unpack.

"You couldn't even hold back until lunch?" InuYasha asked.

"I didn't see her all... wait how did you know what I got the detention for?" a confused Miroku asked.

"I'd have to be an idiot not to know."

"Well, I guess Kagome is an idiot then" Miroku replied smoothly.

"She's not an ido--" he stopped. He knew he would get teased by Miroku if he stood up for her, not to mention he would be questioning himself, why he had stood up for her all day. "Only Kagome could be that stupid." he finally agreed.


Kagome walked out to the lunchroom & scanned the room for Sango. She spotted Sango at the spot in the lunchroom that they liked to call 'The Castle'. They called it the castle because it was the perfect table in the lunchroom. It wasn't too crowded, you could get into the snack bar quickly & easily from there, the bathrooms were the perfect distance away from it & if you want to talk privately there was a small room very close by that isn't used for any purpose. Not many people knew that there was a room there, so often they used it as a little clubhouse.

Kagome also saw InuYasha there. She was still mad at him. He was supposed to pick her up that morning, but instead she was pushed out the door & had to walk because it was obvious that he wasn't coming. He could have told her if he couldn't manage to pick her up that day, but he didn't. He almost made her late!

"Stupid InuYasha." she mumbled to herself as she slowly walked over to Sango.

"Hey Kag!" Sango said while running over to her best friend. "How was your summer?"

"It was fine." She said then she turned to InuYasha. "You almost made me late on the first day of school!" she said glaring at him.

"Well, I was actually late," he argued back.

"That doesn't mean you have to make the rest of us late as well! You could have called me ahead of time so that I could start walking earlier or you could have just used your alarm clock. That's what they're for!" she half yelled at him.

"Yea, next time call please." Sango said & then sat down.

"I knew it! Sango never gets pissed with me!" he thought to himself as Kagome continued to yell at him.

"How was everyone's summer?" Miroku asked as he walked over. He acted as though he didn't notice they had been fighting.

Kagome turned to Miroku "Mine was pretty good. Yours must have been great though. I would give anything to go to the islands for the whole summer!" Kagome said happily & to InuYasha's delight, totally forgetting about almost being late.

"Yeah, it wasn't bad. Not bad at all."

"Sesshoumaru's 'wasn't bad' either." InuYasha grumbled to himself quietly. With that the few of them that were still standing sat down & started eating.


Kagome & Sango had decided to walk back to Kagome's house after their first day of school. They had loads to talk about.

"So how hard do you think this year is going to be?" Sango asked.

"I don't know. The teachers seem nice to me, InuYasha doesn't like them though..."

Sango giggled. "Didn't they both get detention?" Sango asked.

"Yeah! On their first day, too!"

"That's got to be a record, even for them!"

"Yeah, maybe. We haven't really been checking the book lately... " Kagome replied.

"Oh my gosh! That old record book we tried to make ourselves? That was ages ago! Wow, you still remember that?"

"I actually found it when I was cleaning my room a few days ago. We were soo cute!"

Sango sighed as this conversation brought back memories. Some good, some bad. It brought back memories for Kagome as well. They both walked the rest of the distance to Kagome's house silently, both swimming in an ocean of thoughts. When they got there they ran up the stairs & observed all the odd, but cute records they had come up with.


As InuYasha got in his car to go home he saw Kagome & Sango walking. He thought of giving them a ride, but he decided not to. They might bring up the 'not picking them up' thing again. As he drove he thought about all the things that could happen. Would this year be different than the others? He knew that there was no way that he could do something like getting straight A's, but maybe something else cool might happen. He couldn't really think of anything at the moment, but he felt like something important would take place this year. He recapped his day in his mind.

In his home room Kikyo had looked at him in a funny way. He hadn't really thought about the look before. He & she had dated a while ago. A lot of people looked at a lot of other people in that way when he thought about it. Like Sango, she sometimes looked at Miroku in that way & that couldn't mean anything except maybe that he was a pervert, which he was. Kikyo thought he was a pervert? No, couldn't be.

"Kouga does look at Kagome in that way & everyone knows he likes her..." he thought. His insides sort of turned at the thought of Kouga & Kagome getting together. They had had a small relationship for a very short time, but he still didn't like to imagine them like that. He & Kouga pretty much hated each other for as long as he could remember.

"Why am I thinking about crap like this?" he thought to himself. "This is the kind of things girls fuss over." He made himself stop thinking about it & kept his thoughts on the road the rest of his way home. He turned quickly & stopped in his driveway. He saw Sesshoumaru's car as he pulled in. It was easy to tell the difference because Sessh always had the fancy types of cars & the rest of his family just didn't. It seemed like he got a new one every five minutes while InuYasha was stuck with his parent's old Red Jeep. It wasn't a terrible car, but compared to Sesshoumaru's it wasn't drivable. That was one of the reasons he didn't like it when Sesshoumaru came to his house. There were many more as well as that, including he & Sesshoumaru were as close as the North & South Pole.

Before he went into the house he couldn't help but look at Sessh's new car. This time it was a Silver Porsche. Most of the time his brother's cars were silver. It just seemed to be his color. He looked in the car & saw the smallest phone he had ever seen. It was one of the newer versions that were about as thick as a child's book. It was like Sessh could never run out of money. It got InuYasha pissed.

Just then InuYasha's older & more clunky cell phone started to ring. He hesitated to answer it. He wasn't really in a chitchat mood. Finally with a grumble he picked it up.

"Hello?" he mumbled.

"InuYasha?" the caller asked.

"Yea?" he said, in an annoyed voice. He hated it when people asked that. Who else would answer his phone!

"Hey it's Kag. Me & Sango just found this old made up record book that we tried to publish a few years ago. Do you remember it? Well, anyway we wanted to inform you & Miroku that you've both just made a record." Kagome said trying not to giggle. "You both got the title 'First Detention of the Year'." She said it like it was what every guy dreamed of.

"What about that other kid that got detention before school actually started last year?" he asked sarcastically.

"Oh, well uh..." she didn't know what to say to that.

InuYasha heard her hesitation & decided to be nice... for the time being.

"Well, thanks a lot. I'd like to thank the school principal, Miroku & Mrs. Kaede" he said, trying to sound excited. He could hear Kagome & Sango stifling giggles on the phone.He smiled for a second, he usually wasn't the funny one, but when he was, he enjoyed it. "When do I get my prize then?" he asked.

"Oh, um... now?" Kagome asked, "Want to meet up some place?"

"Yea, Sesshoumaru is here for a few hours so that'd be great." he calmly answered.

"Okay." she said, "Would you mind asking Miroku to come, too? We haven't told him the exciting news yet" Kagome said in such an enthusiastic voice that you couldn't tell if she was still pretending to be excited about the old record book or if she really was.

"So where are we meeting then?"

"Um... I don't know. You want to meet at any place in particular?"

"Nope. Not really."

"Okay then..." Kagome paused & InuYasha could hear her whispering to Sango in the background, "The Coffee House?"

"Fine." Inu said flatly & hung up. He got back in his car & drove away from his house as fast as he could. He'd call Miroku when he was far enough away from the scent of his half brother, but if he had looked back at his house he would have noticed that Sesshoumaru had been watching him through the window from the second he arrived in the drive way.
