Hey! I know I have another story going (kinda) at the moment but i had to start this story! I got the idea one night when I couldn't get to sleep so I wrote the idea down. Please reveiw! I need to know your oppinions!

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha (i would be heaps richer if I did)

"Is there a reason why you have returned without Kagome?" Miroku asked innocently as InuYasha climbed out of the well,

"She had another 'test', I don't know what is so important about them!" he growled, "Whenever she has one she acts really strangely and just studies, plus they just delay our search for the jewel shards even more!" Miroku and Shippo rolled their eyes as they continued eating there lunch.

"Did you have another argument?" asked Sango while Kirara snuggled into her lap, InuYasha looked away,

"I don't want to talk about it." He mumbled and sat next to Shippo.

"At least you didn't have to spend the night that you turn human here." Sango said, trying to stay on the positive. She watched in disgust as the boys stuffed their faces like wild animals, she grimaced,

"You all eat like pigs." She stated bluntly,

"Hey! That's just mean!" Miroku exclaimed before he wiped his mouth on his sleeve,

"Yeah, I guess it is." She said,

'Mean to pigs, that is.' she thought. Kirara climbed out of Sango's lap and pounced on Shippo,

"Kirara! That's unfair! Wait until I've finished my lunch." Shippo took the last bite of his lunch and began to wrestle with the twin tail. Sango smiled at their game and shifted her eyes onto Miroku and InuYasha who were still eating like they hadn't eaten in weeks, 'Please come back soon Kagome!'

"Bye Mum! Bye Grandpa!" Kagome called out,

'I hope I crammed enough for the test, having InuYasha here didn't help my studying.' She frowned and began to run to school,

'He wasn't helping; whenever he is here he is such a nuisance, especially when I have a test. We always fight when I have a test, mostly because of the pressure I get from them. Maybe I should apologize, I never mean the things that I say, I think.'

"Kagome!" Her friends yelled joyfully, interrupting Kagome's thoughts,

"How are you?" Eri asked,

"Are you sure that you are well enough to be here?" Yuka asked over Eri,

"How are sinuses? Your grandpa said they were really bad!" Ayumi asked,

"Are you ready for the test?" They asked in unison. Kagome became dizzy from the storming of questions from her friends who were in her face. She only had one answer to the questions,

"I am fine." She said and walked towards the school,

'As soon as school is over, I'll go home and have a shower, cook food for everyone in the feudal era and go to bed, that is if I make it through this test!' She thought,

"Just be glad it's a Friday Kagome!" Eri comforted Kagome, "Just have a good rest on the weekend, ok?" she finished. They entered through the school's front doors and went to their classroom. Kagome was wishing she wouldn't see Hojo; she didn't need another gift basket.

"Oh, hi Kagome!" Hojo greeted Kagome with a warm smile and a small wave, "How are you?" he asked with concern, "If I had known you were coming I would of put a health care basket for you, for your sinuses." Kagome blushed,

"Oh no, you don't need to do that, I'm fine. It's ok!" She went to sit in her seat but there was someone in it.

"Hi, um, sorry but that's my seat." She said with a tone of confusion in her voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I sit here, I'm new here. Well, not really, I came when you were absent with . . . appendicitis I think it was." The girl smiled at her sweetly but didn't budge from the seat,

"Where am I supposed to sit then?" Kagome asked, she was getting irritated, usually she would welcome a new student to the school happily but she wasn't going to when they were in her seat. "Can you please sit somewhere else? I want to sit with my friends." Kagome asked rudely,

"Who? Oh, you mean Eri, Yuka and Ayumi. That's why I'm sitting here, they're my friends too." The new girl grinned; Kagome faked a smile and walked away,

'Who does she think she is? Sitting in my seat and taking my friends . . .' she thought bitterly,

"Oh!" the girl said, "I'm Kagami, by the way." Kagome turned around,

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kagome." She lied. The teacher walked in and begun the class,

Good morning students, good to see everyone!"

"I don't think Kagome will be back anytime soon." InuYasha complained while sitting on the well edge,

"Why don't we go to the next village? Where we heard the demon attack happened?" Miroku suggested,

'And where those beautiful women live . . . 'Sango slapped him and woke him up from his day dream.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Miroku jumped to his feet,

"There was a bug." Sango shrugged,

'I knew you were thinking something lecherous.'

"How 'bout it InuYasha? I'm getting bored just sitting here! Can we go?" Shippo pleaded, everyone diverted the eyes onto InuYasha,

"Fine." InuYasha replied,

'I'd rather stay here and wait, but I know Kagome won't be here anytime soon.'

Miroku began to walk eagerly out of the forest, towards the next village, Sango, InuYasha, Shippo and Kirara trailing behind.

"Why the hurry, Miroku?" Sango yelled accusingly,

"I uh want to get there before sundown." He lied, luckily Sango saw through it,

It is morning, genius and it will only take 20 minutes to get there."

'Maybe 15 at your rate.' She thought,

'Hopefully 5 if we go quickly.' Miroku imagined the gorgeous girls from the village and began to drool; he wiped it away and turned around,

"Hurry up! We can't be late!" He shouted to his friends,

"Late to what?" Shippo muttered and InuYasha and Sango exchanged looks.

"Finally!" Miroku gasped when he arrived at the gates of the village,

"What do you mean 'finally'? It's only took us 10 minutes and that's because you RAN!" Sango stated and glared at Miroku as he bent over in exhaustion. She began shouting and arguing with Miroku while Shippo and InuYasha ignored them and walked through the gates. Shippo gasped in shock at what he saw, a young girl being beaten by the men of the village. InuYasha growled and ran over, he grabbed the girl held her under his arm and jumped away from the men.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" One man shouted at him,

"Don't interfere with things that don't concern you!" Another shouted, men continued to shout insults and nasty remarks at InuYasha and the girl. InuYasha had memories flow back into his mind,

"What did she do to deserve this? What gives you the right to hurt her?" He screamed, silencing the yells of the men, he held the girl behind him so they couldn't touch her,

'InuYasha is acting strange, why he would do this for some girl he hasn't met is beyond me.' Shippo thought while watching the fight.

"She brings bad luck!" One man yelled,

"She caused our most of our crops being eaten!"

"Demons attacked our village because of her!"

"She is unwanted!"

InuYasha fumed with rage,

"Nothing gives you the right to say those things!" He barked angrily,

"How do you know she brings bad luck? You can't blame her for your crops being eaten if she didn't do it personally! She doesn't control the demons; she didn't tell them to attack you! No one is unwanted! You all make me sick by saying that!" InuYasha was shaking from anger, still holding the girl he turned around and walked away.

"What was that about?" Miroku asked Shippo,

"That girl was being beaten by those men," Shippo answered like it happened all the time, "Hang on . . . when did you get here?" He asked Miroku and Sango,

"About half way through InuYasha's rant." Miroku said and began following InuYasha. Shippo looked at Sango; she shrugged and walked away,

"Hey! Wait up!" He called and chased after them.

How do you like it? I have some plans for Kagome and Kagami (Kagami means mirror) that i think will delay Kagome's coming back to the feudal era. Who is the young girl? (actually she is about 13 years old but that's in the next chapter). Anyway, review!
