Chapter 1: The two meet
"Good morning, Inuyasha!"
"Hi." The silver haired boy answered.
"What's wrong with you today?"
"I'm fine, Miroku. Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled, annoyed.
"You don't have to be so grumpy, my friend. By the way, have you seen Sango?" Miroku questioned.
"Nope and why do you always ask about her, Miroku?"
"Don't worry about it, Inuyasha. It's not like you even understand things such as love."
"What did you say!?"
"Ooh? Am I wrong or something?"
"…Shut up, bastard." He argued.
"Yes, yes, whatever you say. Anyway, I'll be leaving now. See you later."
"Whatever." Inuyasha said, frowning deeply. Miroku always knew what to say to make him angry. He'd always pick out the fact that Inuyasha has never had a girlfriend before and Inuyasha hated that. It's not like the girls didn't like him, though. He had plenty of options, just none that he really liked. Miroku just never seemed to understand that.
Once Miroku took his leave, Inuyasha headed to his next class, English. He was really bad at English, probably one of the worst students in the class. When he arrived at the classroom he went inside and sat down in his seat. The only reason he liked this class was because of who sat next to him, Kagome Higurashi. He had never actually spoken to her before, and he would never admit that she was only reason he came to English class, but he really did like her.
"Higurashi, do you know the answer to the first question?" The English teacher asked.
Kagome nodded with a confident smile, "The answer is B, sensei."
"Nice job, Higurashi! That's correct." The sensei replied. Kagome smiled at the teacher and then turned her attention back to her class work. Meanwhile, Inuyasha couldn't help but stare at her. The teacher knew about Inuyasha's crush since it was obvious to anyone who paid enough attention, but decided to leave him alone about it and not embarrass him in front of the class. When the bell finally rang most of the students hurried out of their seats and left the classroom. Except for Kagome, of course, who took her time to put away her books and didn't bother to rush.
Inuyasha exited the room and started to walk towards his locker. Suddenly, he heard a cry from behind him and quickly turned to see what had occurred. He saw Kagome kneeling down trying to pick up all of her papers and books. Inuyasha decided to take this opportunity to try and talk with her and hurried to her side.
"Hi, would you like some help?" He asked, trying to play it cool.
"Y-yeah, that would nice." Kagome answered, worried about being late for her next class.
Inuyasha quickly kneeled down beside her and gathered her books from the cold, tile floor. "Here you go." He said, handing her the books.
"Shoot! I'm going to be late! Thank you for helping me out." Kagome said to him sweetly.
He smiled slightly and then headed to his math class. 'I finally talked to her. She's nice.' He thought to himself and smiled again.
Later that day…
"Kagome-chan, are you doing anything today?" One of her friends asked.
"I'm sorry! I have so much homework to make up, so I can't do anything today." Kagome explained, hoping her friend would understand her situation.
"No problem, Kagome! Hopefully, we can do something soon, though,"
Kagome nodded and waved goodbye before starting her walk home. Then she noticed the boy who came to her rescue and helped her gather her stuff when it had fell on the ground. She made her way over to him, wanting to thank him again.
"Hello, I wanted to say thank you once again."
Inuyasha was about to respond with something nice when he saw Miroku heading towards him. Not wanting his friend to get the wrong idea, even though he did like her, Inuyasha quickly answered, "Yeah, yeah. You can go away now." He hoped she would just disappear.
"Excuse me? You don't have to be a jerk. You could have just said something like 'you're welcome...'!" Kagome argued.
"Just go away, wench."
"Inuyasha, who's this lovely girl standing with you?" Miroku asked.
"She's no one important. Forget her, let's go." Inuyasha yelled, sounding annoyed.
"Alright, we'll go. Goodbye, miss. Sorry about him."
"Whatever. I thought he was nice, but he's just an asshole after all. Goodbye."
"…" Inuyasha felt bad, but he didn't want Miroku to know how he felt. It was embarrassing.
"Inuyasha, you really should just learn to be nice to people."
"Just shut your mouth and let's go, Miroku!"
Miroku nodded and they got in Inuyasha's car. Inuyasha looked back at Kagome before driving away. 'I'm sorry, Kagome…'
