Authors note: The long awaited rewrite of Welcome to Yuki High has arrived! I've grown these last three years and I am prepared to rewrite the young junk and end it with a proper ending. Sadly this story isn't a high priority, because of my trilogy that is in process. Uploading times will be random for this, but when I need a break from Naruto I will be rewriting this and my Soul Eater story. So please understand my priorities.

MODERN AU

::Chapter one; Kagome Higurashi::

Beginning at a new school is difficult for any student. New experiences are around every corner when roaming the unfamiliar halls of a school. Though, transferring has proved extremely difficult for one 17 year old girl. Kagome Higurashi has transferred from a small public school on the outskirts of Tokyo to downtown Tokyo for the world renown Yuki private high school for her senior year of school.

This school wasn't like others in the country. This school held the attendance of both human beings and yokai. Since the feudal times, yokai have roamed the earth. Many humans feared the yokai, thus they pushed for restrictions of the demons socialization with humans. Eventually, the world gave in and allowed yokai to live everyday lives along side with the humans.

Of course, there are yokai that their mindset still remains deep in the past. Some yokai believe they reign in power over the humans, but the majority has accepted normal lives alongside humans.

For that, Yuki Private High school was opened to the city of Tokyo. It takes great ambition and intelligence to get into the only human and yokai school in Japan. Which one human, had the chance to get.

Starting at a new school was going to be a change for the young girl, for she has never left her home town before. Once she got accepted into the most prestigious high school in all of Japan, Kagome had to pack her bags and say her goodbyes to her friends and her old life. Kagome knew leaving her home would be painful, but her chance to Yuki was too hard to pass over. She didn't wish to leave her friends, but this school was her best chance.

Attending Yuki to be able to befriend yokai. In her old town, yokai were rarely ever seen, so Kagome has never seen a yokai faced to face. Kagome's mother and grandfather have been stuck in the past and always skeptical about yokai, but they are allowing Kagome to attend the great school in hopes that the demons won't interfere with her education.

As Sunday, arrived, Kagome's nerves were shot. Tomorrow was the day Kagome was going to start at Yuki high. She had fears of finally walking onto the grounds of the school.

That night, Kagome's mother reminded her about the classes with the yokai, which didn't settle well with either of them.

"Kagome, are you sure you want to go to this school?" Her mother asked anxiously. "I know it's an amazing school and all and I'm extremely proud of you for actually getting accepted into the school for your final year." She paused for a moment to stir the food in the skillet. "But I don't feel comfortable with you attending a school with demons." The smell of salmon drifted around the room as Kagome was typing away at her pink laptop. Her finger's typed away as she chatted with her friend Hojo from back home. Kagome's mom turned her head a bit to look at Kagome. "Kagome?" Kagome stopped typing and quickly looked at her mother.

"Yes Momma?"

"Did you hear what I was saying?" Kagome nodded her head and quickly started typing again. Momma turned to face her fully, and spoke again. "Well?"

"I can't pass up this opportunity for a greater education." Kagome's fingers continued to fly across the keyboard as she spoke, trying to kill the subject. Her mind was set, she wasn't going to stop now.

"I understand that, but don't you think this will be too big of a jump for you?" Momma walked around behind her chair and grabbed her by her shoulders. "Maybe we could go back home, have our old life back! Your friends will be delighted to see-"

"I can't leave now Momma, there are so many opportunities in this school that I can't refuse!" Kagome shrugged her off and turned her heard to Momma quickly. Momma gave her a serious look for her outburst, so Kagome softened and apologized. Momma walked back to the skillet and Kagome began to write to Hojo once again. Momma poked at the fish fillet.

"Kagome, I'm just worried. There are yokai that don't deserve to live among us humans." She flipped over the fish and Kagome stopped typing. "Some have no respect for humans and their boundaries. They believe because they will outlive us they can push us around. They think since they have awesome powers that they can enchant us with their sinister magic. As you know I ran around with a few their kind when I was your age. They're not all fine and dandy." Silence fell over the two as Momma finished her last few words. After a minute, Kagome quickly closed her laptop and pushed her chair back. Momma turned a bit to face her.

"Momma, just because you had a bad experience with yokai, won't mean I will." Kagome picked up her laptop and hugged it to her chest. "Times are like what they used to be, yokai aren't mean like they used to be. Besides…" She turned to face her mother completely, whom bore a slightly shocked face. Kagome's face was cool and collected. "You don't want me to potentially fall for a yokai like you did before you were with dad. You're afraid a yokai is going to hurt me."

"They will! Don't trust them!" Momma turned completely from the stove to protest, but Kagome snapped right back.

"So do humans! It doesn't matter who or what you are! Anyone can hurt you Momma! Please trust me on this Momma." Kagome turned away from Momma and walked to the door frame and stopped. "And I'm going to my room, I don't want dinner. Goodnight"

With that, Kagome left the kitchen leaving Momma standing by the stove in awe over her daughter's attitude.

Once Kagome entered her room, she quickly shut the door behind her. She placed her laptop onto her desk and quickly flung herself onto her pink comforter. Her raven hair pooled around her as she hugged her pillow. Her eyes traveled to her wall. She had taped a few pictures of her and her friends on the wall. The few pictures were the only things on her walls. Kagome and her family have lived here for about a month and she still hasn't unpacked everything. As more time began to slip from her when the first day arrived, she realized that she didn't have all her clothes and supplies ready for tomorrow. The days leading up to today her mother asked her to unpack, but Kagome hasn't had the energy.

Missing her friends has rubbed her emotions raw. All she wanted to do is see her friends again. Talking to them through an internet chat center wasn't enough anymore. She missed seeing her girlfriends. She even misses Hojo's one sided crush for her.

The pillow in her arms began to grow wet. Kagome slowly sat up and began to wipe the tears from her eyes with the back of her hands. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing, they just kept coming.

"Go away" She whispered as she continued to rub her eyes. When Kagome left her friends, she told herself not to cry over the move, but on the way to Tokyo, she cried. She couldn't help it like she couldn't help it now.

Soon her crying fit finished and she picked her laptop back up off the desk and sat on her bed and logged into her email. Her hoped where shattered when only spam mail popped up in her inbox, nothing from her friends.

Sighing, she closed her laptop.

I'm tired. Kagome yawned and slipped on her pajamas. She pulled her long ebony hair into a pony tail to keep it from tangling in the night. Putting her laptop back on her desk, she slid back under her covers and closed her eyes.

As she drifted into slumber, Kagome's mind was clouded by the memories of her friends, along with the anxiety of tomorrow morning.
