I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA AND COMPANY. TO BE HONEST IM GLAD CUZ I'D HAVE EFFED UP THE STORY ;)

CHAPTER I

The sun shining brightly through my window, landed directly on my face, I turned away muttering under my breath about how the universe enjoys my misery. I try to fall back asleep when I heard a voice
"Time for school!" My mother's sweet soprano voice called from the kitchen "You've got five minutes before you are leaving without breakfast!" She added sternly and I sat up grumbling. I am the opposite of a morning person; everything about the morning irked me, the sun, the noise, the chill in the air, worse; the people who loved mornings. I got off my bed and went through the motions of getting ready, I brushed my comb through my hair pulling my long raven black hair into a very messy bun, slipped on my jeans and grabbed my Lands' End uniform top, today was a Blue Denim day, I was happy to wear my jeans. I looked down and smiled down at the shirt, it had a button from the Tim McGraw concert I went to on Saturday. My thought interrupted by my mother knocking "Kai, sweetie, I really hope you didn't fall back asleep" she sighed. I took a deep breath and opened my door after making sure my shirt was on straight and grabbing my school sweater
"Don't tempt me mom, I'm exhausted enough to almost ask to stay home" I looked at her, a hint of hope in my eyes
"Do you have any tests today?" She said as if she was actually thinking about it, but she knew my schedule and I let out a big huff
"you know I have a history test" I whined "It's not like I need to know that stuff anyways!" I threw her the same excuse I'm sure most kids did when they didn't want to go to school
"Kagome Higurashi! Stop acting like a child and go, to, school!" My mother was very upset now, she handed me my breakfast and without another word I took it and left for school hunched over like a puppy who had been scolded. As I went out my front door I saw my brother playing out by the basketball hoop we got for his birthday and wished I could go back to being that care free middle schooler whose mom still drove her to school. I scowled as I hopped into my grey beater Mazda 323 GTX and start the engine and no sooner than I leave the house does it starts to rain "ha ha very funny universe!" I grumble and I start driving to school, I can't wait to get out of this horrid town to somewhere where the weather isn't so extreme. The winters here are freezing and the summers are unbearably hot. I let out a big sigh. After what seems like forever, I pull up into the student parking at St. Anne's-Belfield School. The school is probably the biggest school I have ever seen, but then again it's a school from pre-k all the way to grade 12 so it's a very close knit schooling system. I scan the parking lot for a parking spot and see a perfect one near the doors, I start to pull in but I get cut off by a black sport car, it was a 1968 spider 1600 duet! The only reason I knew that is because I was an auto girl; I was also the only girl in the entire school who was taking auto mechanics class. At first I was just stunned to see an old car like that in our school parking lot but then again this was a pretty high end school and definitely wasn't cheap to attend. My awe turned into anger when I remember that this car just cut me off "Hey! I was clearly going to park there, what the heck!" I rolled down my window screaming at the beautiful car in front of me. I waited for a response as the driver and two other people come out of the car. I rolled my eyes when I realized who it was his long blonde hair, his white polo shirt and white khakis clinging to his body, he turned around and I could see his hazel eyes and emotionless expression 'Sesshomaru' I hissed in my mind, he was such a jackass at the best of times, so this didn't surprise me. Then from the back passenger door I saw very familiar black hair and red over coat and just behind him in the passenger door was a small brunette girl whose cute hair style I had definitely grown to love. I slowly calmed down as I saw my friend walk towards my car
"What the Fuck man, you cut off Kagome!" the boy screamed at Sesshomaru "He's such a dick sometimes, I'm sorry if I had seen you I would told him to find another spot, instead of cutting you off" He smiled at me apologetically
"It's okay Yashie, It's not your fault your brother is a heartless douche bag" I said that last part loud enough for Sesshomaru to hear and he just glared at me his face like ice, as always
"Inuyasha, you should teach your bitch to hold her tongue" He said flatly. This time I was really mad, I glared at him and honked horn
"no one talks about me like that you jack ass, go to your stupid university classes and get the hell out of my parking space!" I screamed seething in anger; this guy really knew how to push my buttons
"Kaishie, Calm down" Inuyasha rested a hand on my shoulder and I immediately calmed down taking a deep breath in and out
"Thank you for the ride Sesshomaru papa!" The young girl said "I'll see you after school" She waved as if to kindly encourage him to leave and she walked to my open window
"Hello Kagome mama" She said smiling, I laughed slightly
"Rin, please don't call me mama, especially after calling Him papa" I gestured to Sesshomaru who was now in his car backing out
"I'm sorry Kagome, It's just you're the closest thing I have to a mother" She smiled sheepishly and I smiled back
"Okay, but please not when your- when Sesshomaru is around okay?" I said softly still smiling at her; she was hard not to smile at. This six year old girl was adopted by Sesshomaru, which baffled all of us at the time and it has been two years and it seemed like only yesterday she had worked her way into everyone's heart. Inuyasha was the most surprised, growing up with Sesshomaru wasn't easy, he made it his daily mission to point out that Inuyasha was only his half brother and that his their father died because of him. They stay with Sesshomaru's uncle Myoga, who isn't around much but that doesn't seem to bother any of them.
"Kaishie, you okay in there?" Inuyasha said snapping his fingers at me bringing me out of my thoughts
"Oh geez, sorry I was thinking" I shook my head as if to clear it and then remembered I had to actually park my car. As I gathered my things from my car I saw Rin wave at me and leave for her class and Inuyasha was sitting on the bench near the door. I shoved my books and things into my bag and locked up my car, finally my morning was going to get better I thought as I threw the bag over my shoulder and walked to my best friend with a smile on my face. Okay so I may like him more than just a friend but he doesn't need to know that.
"Hey Yashie" I greeted, I call him that because when Rin first came into their family she couldn't say 'Inuyasha' yet
"Hey Kaishie, sorry for earlier. How did you sleep?" He asked patting the seat next to him; he calls me Kaishie so my name is 'babyfied' like his, or at least that's how he phrased it.
"Meh, my room is the coldest one in the house it seems" I explained sitting next to him "It can't be helped though, we moved here for my dad and after he went missing my mom refused to leave, in hopes he would turn up" I said solemnly thinking about the first day we moved here 3 years ago after my father got a job offer
**** FLASHBACK****
"Papa, how come we had to move all the way out here for a job, didn't you already have a job in Japan?" younger me asked as we drove to our new home
"We've been over this Kai, this new job gives us more money and they are the ones who paid for our new home. It's not forever, just until we make enough money to buy a real home elsewhere. Besides maybe you'll like it here in Charlottesville" He said turning to smile at me
"Keep your eyes on the road!" My mom said grabbing the dashboard for her life, my dad just laughed and went back to driving. We pulled into our new 'home'
"We live in a mansion now?!" I squeaked excited to see how big this new house was it had one large area that was the main house that had an a very large backyard and what looked like a garden, it reminded be of the late 1800's we studied in school
"It's an old Victorian house" My mother said pointing at very large tree "That is a sacred tree like we have back home, I'm sure your grandfather will tell many stories about this land" She said laughing, My grandfather is a big history nut and loves to tell us the stories behind absolutely everything, true or not.
"That's a lot of stairs" Papa said "I guess we'll just have to get used to it!" he said perking up
"Welcome to your new home Kagome, Sota" mama said as my dad parked the car.
****END FLASHBACK****

Inuyasha put a hand on my shoulder, my mind returning to the present
"Kaishie, don't think about that. It hurts me to see you sad" He said with a half smile "I'm sure your dad will turn up" He added trying to make me feel better
"I don't think so, I'm not even sure he's alive" I said fighting back tears 'great Kagome, second week back from summer vacation and you're on your way to being as emotional as last year!' I scolded myself mentally
"Kagome, it has only been seven months since he has disappeared!" Inuyasha said a bit harshly "you cannot give up, if I had even the slightest chance my pop was alive I'd never give up!" He said becoming upset
"Oh my Kami I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to…" I started to say, realizing I'm complaining about my missing father when his was dead. Again he patted my shoulder this time pulling me in for a hug
"It's not your fault Kai, I just wish I knew him, y'know?" He held me in his arms for a minute then I started to feel hot, he wasn't usually one to show affection especially physical. I started to pull away from him but when I saw his face I froze, inches away from his
"Inuyasha?!" I gasp, his eyes were watery I had never seen him cry before let alone show how upset he was
"I'm fine." He breathed on my face and his scent washed over me, he smelled husky but there was an underlying sweetness to this smell. Suddenly he pushed me away and wiped his eyes with his coat "Fucking human emotions!" He said with a chuckle "Sorry, you must think I'm a pussy now!" He scoffed looking away from me
"Actually no, I think you are finally opening up to me, even if it's just a tiny bit" I said reassuring "You will never be a pussy, besides you're more dog like anyways" I joked trying to lighten up the mood and that made his head whip around as he glared at me, I knew he hated being compared to a dog but it would take his mind off being sad.
"I am not a dog!" he said jokingly elbowing my side and just like that he wasn't upset anymore
"Are you sure?" I asked playing along "Cuz you're very strong, loyal, you're always getting your nose in other people's business" I winked and then started to laugh and he joined me laughing
"You know Kaishie, you're like a cat, quiet, self sufficient, and you love to annoy the 'dog'" he said poking me and it went on like that for a bit teasing each other. "Hey, Kai?" Inuyasha said becoming very serious; I couldn't look away from his hazel yellow eyes "You'll always be my friend, no matter what right?" He said out of the blue, finally I tore my eyes from him and looked down for a second before looking up at him again
"Of course Yashie!" I said smiling "Who else would put up with a pup like you?!" I added jokingly but he only smiled
"Good" He smiled bigger, and I his eyes had a hint of mischief behind them "I guess we should get to class huh?" he said jumping off the bench and offering me a hand, completely changing the subject I sighed, he always did this, asked me serious questions them brush it off like it never happened, I grabbed his extended hand stood up with him, I went to turn around but he didn't let go of my hand
"Yashie, you-" I started to say but as I lifted my face to see him he was only inches from my face
"Kagome, I'm sorry but I can't wait any longer" he said, his hot breath hitting my face. I looked at him full confusion on my face 'oh Kami what is happening?!' I thought and just then he closed the distance between us, at first I thought he was going to kiss me but he went passed my lips to my ear "I have a big secret to share with you, something I've never told or showed anyone" He said quickly, I squeaked in response to the sudden closeness, my heart fell when I realized just how badly I had wanted him to kiss me. "After school, meet me here okay?" He asked pulling away from me now, I just nodded, confusion all across my face. Inuyasha stood there smiling and the school bell rang making me jump and squeal a bit and he just laughed "Let's go Kaishie!" he grabbed my hand and just like that acted like nothing happened while he dragged me to our class. Math was a blur; I couldn't keep my mind focused on anything, so when the teacher called on me for an answer I was lucky that someone behind me answered for me.
"Thank you Sango, it seems that has not been focusing in class again!" Mr. Mann said, annoyance in his voice "Class this is our new student Sango Taijiya, you'd do well to learn from her Higurashi" He said waving her to sit down. I turned around to thank the new girl but when I saw her she had her hands over her red face, she obviously was embarrassed so I let her be. Math finally ended and I was going to introduce myself to the new girl but by the time I had my things ready all I saw was her long black hair leaving the class room.
"Keh, what a show off!" Inuyasha said looking in the direction she left before turning to me "I'll see you after school?" he asked making sure I was listening, I nodded and with that he left. The rest of the day was uneventful, English and biology were just monotonous. Come lunch Inuyasha had detention so I ate alone. I couldn't concentrate and I was just bored, I am pretty sure I failed my history test but that is nothing new. Finally it was time for my favorite, and last class of the day, auto. I walk into my class smiling excited to start working on engines when I bump into someone
"Sorry!" I say bowing my head, when I look up it's the new girl from my Math class "Hey, you're in my math class!" I blurted out before I could stop myself 'oh kami, what was wrong with me?!' I thought to myself
"My name is Sango, she said shyly" Extending a hand and I shook it
"Kagome Higurashi, but you can call me Kai" I said smiling and she seemed stoop up straight as if she felt more bold and then I saw the teacher come in
"Alright class, it's time for engines, said as he walked passed us and began his lesson simply nodding at Sango without introducing her. I saw her stance relax and the rest of class went by quickly. I learned that Sango transferred here from Japan like I did, she also had a younger brother and we hit it off talking about siblings.
"Sango, would you like to hang out sometime?" I asked as we left class walking out to the student parking lot she nodded smiling
"I'd love that" she turned and stopped, just then Inuyasha approached us
"Ai, Kagome, let's get going!" He said looking at Sango "you're that know it all from our math class!" He said and Sango turned red, she looked away and suddenly she was leaving
"Inuyasha!" I said angrily "That was so rude, you go say sorry right now!" I said gesturing over to Sango but she was gone
"Keh, not my fault she's so sensitive!" He said and I just smacked his arm angrily "Fine, I'll say sorry in class tomorrow okay?" He looked down at his feet, he hated being scolded. I just sighed and stepped in front of him
"You had something to show me?" I asked breaking the silence and he looked up and grabbed my hands
"You swear you won't tell anyone?!" He said suddenly very serious again, he looked into my eyes looking for an answer I just nodded; he let go of one of my hands and dragged me with him with the other. I followed him silently as he led me into the forested area across the street from the school, if it was any other person I'd be very worried but I trusted Inuyasha with my life.
