Kagome was a very bright, pretty girl. She paid attention in her studies and minded her father. But in her mind she wasn't good enough; she felt she had to live up to her two older sisters. She sighed and looked down at her vanity, hating herself.

Kikyou is Kagome's eldest sister, and she is the perfect daughter. She never came home late, never did drugs, and never drank. She never once received less than a 99 percent in her studies. Kikyou was beautiful; she had her mother's beautiful, perfect, silky, black hair. She also had the brightest brown eyes anyone had ever seen, and they made you want to stare into them for hours.

Kagura was Kagome's other sister, and was quite the opposite of Kikyou. Kagura, too, was beautiful. While Kikyou had that "cute" beautiful look, Kagura was "sexy." She had her mother's deep brown, almost red, eyes and their father's jet black hair. Her hair had a slight wave to it. It gave her a carefree look, and complimented well upon her flawless skin. Kagura never cared much for her school work. Not to say she wasn't smart, she was just too caught up in the latest guy to focus.

In fact, all three daughters had inherited their intelligence from their father, whom was the only thing the girls had in common. They had separate mothers, but they still considered each other true sisters and were best friends, to some extent. Kagome loved her sisters to death. She looked up from her vanity top to stare into her mirror. She saw pale brown eyes staring back out at her, surrounded by a slightly tanned face. Her straight, dark brown hair came in to focus. She sighed at her reflection, then she walked to her closet to get ready for school.

On her walk to school, Kagome glanced up to notice some men in an alley exchanging some things. She crossed the street to see what was going on. One of the guys looked at her and waved. She smiled nervously and walked away quickly. 'Who was that guy?' she questioned herself. 'He looks so familiar…' She shrugged it off when she arrived at school because she was bombarded.

"Oh my god Kagome!" her friends exclaimed. "We haven't see you in like a month!" She shrugged and smiled at them, then looked them over.

Miroku looked like he had for the past two years, only taller. Kagome was surprised by how much he had grown in the past month. He was probably six feet by now! His shaggy brown hair was covering his blue-almost-violet eyes. He looked so happy; as he well should! He spent the last month in Florida. It had given him a nice, dark tan.

Sango was so happy and bubbly all of the time. She was gorgeous, and always had guys all over her. She was tall, brunette, and had beautiful brown eyes. She didn't dress like a slut, but was well endowed.

Kagome put her arms around her two friends' shoulders and led them towards the school. This was their junior year, and they all wanted to make the best of it.

They were herded towards the gym, because the first day is always orientation day. Everyone was bored and restless, except for the freshmen. But no one likes freshmen, not even other freshmen. The principal droned on and on and on….

And finally…the bell rang. Everyone sprang to their feet and raced to get to the lunch room. Not that any of them particularly liked lunch, they just wanted out of there.

Sango had run off to join her cheerleading friends. That left Kagome and Miroku in an awkward silence. They never knew what to say whenever Sango left, on account of her talking all of the freaking time!

"So…Meet any hot girls in Florida, Roku?" Kagome asked giggling.

"TONS actually," he admitted laughing. "But they were all so DUMB!"

They both laughed and went outside to eat their lunch. Kagome had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a Mountain Dew, and gummies; He had the same. They looked at each other's lunches and laughed.

"We are so childish," he stated and laughed, shaking his head.

"Yeah…But we're happy!" she declared, taking a huge bite out of her sandwich. They fell into another awkward silence. 'This sure has been happening a lot lately,' Kagome thought. 'Its unnerving! We're best friends! We should have something to talk about!'

Kagome looked down to find his hand wavering near her ass. She blinked before smacking him upside the head. "I told you no groping!" she screamed, grabbing the attention of everyone within ear shot. She groaned and dropped her head at the unwanted attention. She muttered incoherently about why she had chosen to be best friends with him.

The day went by with nothing else interesting happening until Kagome was sitting in her last hour class, half listening to the latest gossip that Sango had picked up. The guy that had waved at her in the alley walked in.

"Excuse me young man, who are you?" the teacher asked him. He silently handed the woman a note. She nodded and waved her hand for him to take a seat. He flicked his gaze around the room, searching for a familiar face.

He saw Kagome, smiled, and took the seat behind her. Sango stared at him. Then at her. She did a double take before scribbling like a mad man on drugs on a piece of paper. She discreetly passed the note to Kagome.

'What the hell? Do you know him?' -S

'No! He waved at me and I smiled back! It happened this morning!' -K

Sango gave her a 'yeah-right' look and turned towards the teacher. Kagome looked down. Sitting on her lap was a little slip of white paper. She glanced to her side towards Sango, before realizing she couldn't have given it to her and opened it.

'Hey, I'm Inuyasha, what's your name?'

She turned around and Inuyasha smiled at her. She quickly wrote her name, and number on the paper and handed it back to him. Shortly after that the bell rang and the teacher dismissed them. Sango mouthed 'You're telling me everything later,' at Kagome, waved and left to go to cheerleading practice.

Kagome was gathering her things when someone said something to her. Having not been paying attention, she looked up, startled, searching for the source. Inuyasha laughed, seeing her expression.

"I asked you if you wanted to hang out sometime," he repeated. She nodded her head slowly and said something she couldn't quite call coherent, or that she could even remember five seconds later. She prayed to God it wasn't something that would make her seem stupider than she already seemed. She turned and started walking towards the door. Inuyasha jogged to her side and fell instep with her. She subtly tried to check him out.

He had long, silky, silver locks that were tied in a low black ribbon. He had adorable doggie ears on the top of his head that matched his hair. Mentally she squealed with delight and wanted to reach up and touch them. She stopped herself however, not wanting to seem like an asshole for invading personal space. They walked in silence until they exited the building.

"So, where do you want to hang out?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, maybe the arcade? I know it seems childish, but in my experience, hanging out in the arcade really helps you to get to know someone," Kagome responded with a blush and a smile.

He laughed. "Alright, lead the way."

Kagome and Inuyasha spent a lovely two hour bonding period at the arcade before they decided it was time to call it quits.

"I had a really nice time," Kagome said, looking down and blushing. She hadn't hung out with someone new in a long time, considering she knew everyone else, since kindergarten, that she went to school with.

"I did too," Inuyasha said, smiling back. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow at school, then."

"Y-yeah, see ya," Kagome stammered before they parted ways.
