Hi! I got an idea for a fic from someone elses title. It will be nothing like their story. I know no one will be too mad at me for starting one fic before finishing another, because I'm pretty sure that very few people have read my Crescent Moon fic. First chapter is supposed to be juvenile, so don't review thinking the whole story will be like this. Just the first chapter or so.

Summary: AU Kagome and Inuyasha meet each other much earlier on in life. Try, first grade? Yeah. They grow up together, and they inevitably change. IXK, MXS, RinXSess, ShippoXSouten. Rating for safety and it may go up.

Kagome had been in first grade for a week or so, and she liked it. There was no naptime in first grade, but they learned a lot more than in kindergarten. And she had made a friend already! His name was Hojo, and all the girls liked to play with him. Some of the boys resented him, but Kagome always stood up for him when the bullies came. She was one to stand up for what she believed in. Kagome was a very willful and headstrong girl, but she had a more developed sense of right and wrong than most of her classmates. So it came as no surprise that she would stand up against bullies for just about anyone, even people she didn't like too much.

One day when Kagome was on the swings with Hojo, they saw a long black car drive up in front of the school. Out of it climbed a man with long silver hair pulled into a ponytail, with two silver haired boys coming out right behind him. The man and his oldest son, who looked like he would be in the third grade both had pointed demon ears. The younger son, who was dressed in a red kimono, had triangular shaped ears sticking out of the top of his head. All three went into the school.

"Hojo, did you see that?" Kagome asked him, still swinging back and forth.

"Yeah, who do you think that was?" Hojo wondered.

"I don't know, but it looks like we've got some new kids in the school." Kagome told him.

They continued swinging, and after a while the door from their classroom to the playground opened. It was strange, because the bell hadn't rung and it wasn't supposed to for a while. All eyes were on the door and the small figure in a red kimono being pushed out of it. It was strange to hear the playground so quiet. Kagome swore she heard crickets chirping. And she was positive she saw a tumbleweed blow between the new kid and the group of demon children approaching him.

Inuyasha didn't like the atmosphere at the playground. Everyone continued to do what they were doing, but at the same time, all eyes were on him. The kids swinging, the ones dumping sand in each other's pants, everyone was watching! He knew why. A group of demon children were approaching him with menacing looks on their faces.

"Hello, half-breed. Why are you coming out here, where you don't belong? Everyone here is either a human or a demon. So why don't you just go back to wherever you came from? Then I won't have to make you eat a knuckle sandwich." one of the more human looking demons said to him.

"Leave me alone." Inuyasha said, biting his lip and trying not to cry.

"I guess you're hungry for that sandwich of mine, huh? Fine, here it comes!" the boy demon said as he raised his fist.

Kagome watched as they approached him. The boy in front, Hiten, was standing right next to his twin, Manten. Kagome had dealt with them before. They had the biggest reputation on the playground for being bullies. Kagome had problems facing them with out them getting violent and forcing her to defend herself and whomever she was standing up for. So she watched closely, looking for hints of trouble.

Hiten said something to the little boy in red, and the boy had a hurt look on his face as he answered back. Suddenly Hiten's fist was in the air. Seeing that there was trouble, Kagome jumped out of her swing while it was swinging back and landed on the ground, face first. She jumped up without noticing her injuries and ran over the blacktop to stop Hiten from hurting the new kid.

She put herself in between Hiten and the new boy who was looking very shocked and said, "Leave him alone Hiten you bully!"

Inuyasha was stunned that someone had come to his defense. "Even you shouldn't waste your time with him Kagome. He's a dirty half-breed." the boy who was apparently named Hiten said.

Great. Now, since he told one of the few people who wouldn't know by smelling him that he was a half-demon, Inuyasha would have another black eye to explain to his father when the girl would inevitably step aside to let the boy hit him. To his great surprise, she stayed where she was.

"I really don't see how that matters. What did he do to deserve getting hit?" Kagome asked Hiten and his brother while the crew of demon children behind they muttered angrily.

At this, Hiten and his brother looked at each other. "It doesn't matter, we don't need a reason to hit a mutt like him."

Inuyasha's ears slumped and a single tear ran down his face. He was glad that no one could see him since the Kagome girl had her back to him, and she blocked him from everyone else's view.

"If you don't have any reason to hit him, that means you have every reason to leave him alone." Kagome retorted, grabbing the boy's hand and pulling him back towards the swings, leaving the demons trying to figure out what she had said to them.

When they reached the swings, everyone had gone back to paying attention to their own business and Hojo was out of his swing and waiting for Kagome. "Kagome, I'm going to play with Emi in the sand box, okay?" Hojo told her before he rushed off waving.

"Okay." she called back. She understood. Hojo was every girl's best friend, so no one could expect to hang out with him for the whole recess. "You can take Hojo's swing then, okay?" Kagome told him, sitting in her swing and gesturing to another.

"Okay." Inuyasha said, sitting in the swing and wondering why she stood up for him.

"My name is Kagome, what's your name?" she asked him.

"Inuyasha." he replied, still looking shocked.

"Are you okay? You look scared still. Don't worry about those bullies, I won't let them do anything bad to you." Kagome assured him.

"Why did you…" Inuyasha started to ask before the bell cut him off.

"Uh-oh. We have to go line up now. You can ask me tomorrow at recess." Kagome said as she pulled him towards the door he had first come out of where all the kids were lining up.

The rest of the day passed by without many events. Inuyasha got his own desk, thought it was not close to Kagome's desk. They had reading time, and math time, and eventually they got to go home. Kagome waved at him before grabbing her backpack and running out the door.

"Wait, I wanted to know-Darn it!" Inuyasha said, stamping his foot in anger. He decided to get his backpack and leave as well, before someone tried to start another fight.

Meanwhile, someone who had been listening in the cubby room thought up a plan to get back at Kagome and Inuyasha.

Well, first chappie is done, and the second is raring to go. I might even post it the same day as the first chapter. Review please, but don't get mad because it's all childish now. The second chapter will probably be the last one before we do a time skip. Unless I'm struck with inspiration for more gradeschool antics. But yeah, review and tell me what you thought, and what I could do to improve it.
