Best of Friends

Chapter One

How We Met

"Mommy, I don't wanna go let me stay with you." Five year old Kagome protested. "Let me go to work with you mommy I'll be good I promise." Kagome said flashing a huge smile.

"I'm sorry hunny you have to go to school so you can make friends and learn. Don't you want to make friends?"

"No, I wanna stay with you!" she said. "If I can't stay with you then let me stay with daddy."

Mrs.Higurashi froze by what her daughter said and quickly replied, "No, your father is at work and you are going to school young lady now march into the playground. March!"

Kagome sighed in defeat; she picked her blue back pack, blue lunchbox, and waved to her mother good bye. Her mom waved back at her and smiled then stepped into her Mercedes and drove off.

Kagome walked into the classroom and saw all types of children humans and demons alike. She tucked away a strand of her raven black hair and placed her belonging into a little cubby with her name on it. Kagome wore a pale blue shirt with her white Capri's and white sandals. Her hair was long and wavy nearly reaching up to her waist. She kept it out of her face with a white headband.

That's when she saw a little boy with hair as white as snow and fluffy little dog ears on-top of his head. He had amber-gold eyes from the looks of it and his cubby was right next to hers, he wore a short sleeve red shirt with black jeans and black Nike sneakers with red laces. She only wished he'd say hi or something.

"What are you looking at girl? See something interesting?" the little boy said half angry.

"My names Kagome and yours is?" Kagome said trying to sound as polite as she could.

"Listen girl-

"Not girl Kagome." Kagome turned around fully so she could look at him.

The little boy groaned and looked her she had the chocolate brown eye color that his mom had. "It's Inuyasha. How old are you?" Inuyasha said suddenly wanting to sound polite.

"I'm five, what about you?"

"I'm five, my birthday is in April."

"Mines is September 14th which was yesterday so I just turned five."

"Inuyasha you dummy you thought you could run out on me didn't ya. But what you forgot was that we are in the same class and our mommy's know each other and I go to your house almost everyday so beat that you idiot." Inuyasha turned around to Kagome to see a little boy slightly taller then him running over to him. Inuyasha groaned and said, "Shut up Miroku you're the idiot not me 'cuz I can ignore you if I want so hah." Inuyasha stuck out his tongue at the Miroku and turned back to Kagome.

Miroku was finally at Inuyasha's side when he saw Kagome. "Well, hello there I'm Miroku monk in training at your service and here as you can see is a hanyou or half breed who can be really grouchy sometimes." Miroku smiled at Kagome and watched her smile back. Miroku had short black hair put into a low pony tail at the base of his neck; he wore a gray shirt with jeans and white Addidas.

"I am not grouchy." Inuyasha replied. "Miroku, how old are you again?'

"Six, I am in first grade but this school puts kiddygarden and first grade together."

"I see well, my name is Kagome it is very nice to meet the both of you." Kagome closed her cubby and said, "I'm a miko, by the way, and I'm guessing that Inuyasha is just a hanyou who is going to learn to be big and strong."

"That's the plan for this little one right here." Miroku replied politely.

"Stop calling me little one Miroku or I'll knock you out." Inuyasha said angrily while Kagome just giggled.

"Miroku!" A little girl with a high pony-tail yelled from the other side of the room walking over to him. "Hey Inuyasha, hi there new chick, I am Sango and Miroku over here is dead." Sango began plummeting Miroku then she stopped. Sango wore a purple short sleeve shirt with jeans and black sandals.

Inuyasha laughed with all of his might while Kagome stood there confused. Miroku had numerous bumps on his head and laid there on the floor trying to regain his composure. "Um....not to sound mean but why did you do that."

"Oh, yeah, you don't know me well; he touched my butt then ran off so I came here to make an example out of him. Sorry you had to witness that. Were the same age and same grade and yet he still makes my blood boil when he wants."

"Oh, I see well then I understand. Do you guys wanna join me in the playground since we don't have to do any work?"

"Sure." Inuyasha said still laughing at Miroku.

"Lets go then." Sango said.

Miroku finally getting off the floor said "Yeah, why not."

"HE LIVES!!!!" Inuyasha shouted laughing even harder with Sango and Kagome laughing as well.

"Ha ha ha very funny lets just go outside please."

"Ok ok."

The four friends continued talking, laughing, and playing all through the morning till a middle age woman with an eye patch over her eye walked outside.

"Children come inside now we are going to begin." She said. The kids groaned and walked into the classroom and picked places to sit. Kagome sat in front of Sango while Miroku sat beside Sango and Inuyasha beside Kagome. A little girl who looked slightly like Kagome sat on the other side of Inuyasha. She nudged him lightly and said, "Hi Inuyasha, happy to see me?''

"No, now leave me alone Kikyo."

Kikyo pouted then smiled and turned to Kaede. Kikyo wore a pink top with shorts and sandals with a slight heal. "It's so hot today don't you think Inuyasha?"

"So what if its hot I don't care."

"Kikyo leave Inuyasha alone." Sango said from the back.

"I thought you only liked Miroku not Inuyasha gee was I wrong." She said snottily.

Sango groaned and Miroku quickly stepped in knowing if that would progress Sango would pound the five year old to a pulp.

"Kikyo leave everyone alone and just pay attention to the lady when she starts talking ok." Miroku said trying to be sensible.

"I am speaking to Inuyasha wasn't I Inuyasha?"

"No you aren't now leave me alone." Inuyasha turned to look at Kagome and saw her doodling on her paper. "What ya drawin'."

"Nothing, just me and you and Sango and Miroku, you're my first real friends so I guess since I met you first you're my best friend right?"

"Yup, and your mine." Inuyasha smiled when he saw Kagome smile which made Kikyo's blood boil. Inuyasha was supposed to be hers and hers alone.

"Kagome, are you dodging me?" a boy with tipped ears and a high ponytail said. "I hear you tryin' ta avoid me and well I'm your best friend not this mangy mutt."

"Koga leave me alone you are not my best friend or my friend Yash, Sango, and Roku are my friends. So buzz off!" Kagome nearly yelled showing Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku that she could have a temper.

"Children settle down. I am Ms.Kaede and this year I will be your homeroom teacher and also your special gifts teacher. Now, when I say a certain special gift or breed of demon I want the children who have that gift or is that type of demon to stand up and recite your name and grade ok." The children said ok and Kaede began. "Wolf Demon, agility, strength." Three boys stood up. "Koga Minsa kindergarten." Koga said flashing a grin over to Kagome who rolled her eyes Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha couldn't help but giggle softly.

"Ginta Wataski kindergarten." One boy with blonde spiky hair said.

"Hakaku Kisa first grade." One boy with dusty blonde hair said.

"Very good, very good now, youkai or demon exterminators."

Five kids stood up Sango being one of them.

"Sango Sakura first grade." Sango said while smiling.

"Yura Hairya first grade." She said.

"Muso Coldwell first grade." He said taking an intimidating gaze at Sango then smiling sweetly at Kikyo who smiled back.

"Fox Griza kindergarten." He said.

"Krisa Maze kindergarten." She said.

"Very good now let me see.....Hanyou's."

Two boys stood up including Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha Takahashi kindergarten."

"Naraku Youkai first grade."

"Ok, now Monks."

Three kids stood up Miroku being one of them.

"Miroku Houshi first grade." Miroku stood up and winked to all the glowing little girls while Kagome and Sango rolled their eyes.

"Ivan Penscol kindergarten." The little boy smiled.

"Timmy Mushi first grade." The boy smiled.

"Now, Mikos."

Two girls stood up.

"Kagome Higurashi kindergarten." Kagome smiled and tucked away some hair behind her ear.

"Kikyo Liasa kindergarten." Kikyo looked at Inuyasha and smiled.

School began and the four new friends enjoyed the day and when their mommy's came to get them they made play-dates and exchanged numbers.
