Chapter 1:
A young boy with short silver hair and amber eyes was waving goodbye to his mom and grandpa as he walked out of his house on the outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. His yellow backpack sporting the new stores logo, Fuedal Japan. The store was owned and operated by his grandpa-with help from himself-near the shrinehouse on the property. The only thing he had to do though was close everything down at night, and make sure the security system was turned on. But he had to go to school now. As he walked past, he couldn't help but think about the stories his grandpa told him about when he could travel time through the ancient well. I wonder if it's true. . .Of course not! It's all a silly story. Mom even said so.
He heard footsteps coming from behind him. He looked back to see who it was. . .It was his younger brother, Souta.
"Hey Souta. Did mom give you my lunch? I forgot it at home." The boy said.
"Yeah. She said next time she's going to bring it to the school personally. That would be so embarrasing!" Souta exclaimed as he handed over the bologna sandwich, apple, and brownie.
"Thanks Squirt." He headed off toward the bus stop.
"Are you ready for your first day of high school? Being on your birthday and all." Souta said while following his older brother.
"Yeah, sure. The bus is almost here, we should hurry."
The two brothers broke off running as they heard an engine running, stop, then start again.
"Hey! Wait for us!" He yelled.
The bus slowed to a stop, and the doors opened.
"What's your name kid?" The bus driver asked Souta.
"Souta, ma'am."
"And you also." She asked.
"I'm Inuyasha."
"Oh. New kids. Get in. I'm late."
The bus started as the doors shut, almost causing Souta and Inuyasha to fall. The other kids laughed as the stumbled their way to the back of the bus, they weren't the most coordinated people in the world. The two brother sat by each other considering they obviously didn't know anybody else. As the bus went along, the two sat in silence until Inuyasha stated "I think this is my stop." The sign read 'Shikon High School.' A few minutes passed and Inuyasha was stepping off the bus to greet his new school. He wasn't all that excited, considering he only had one friend, and that was at his old school. He finally took the chance to look over his new school. It was big. The main building had two floors, and the two side buildings were gigantic enough without having a second floor.
I better get to the office. He thought. Class starts in 5 minutes.
He started to sprint to the main doors where everybody was going in. He finally made it to the door about a minute later. At the same time a guy about the same age as himself came running up behind him.
"Hey new kid."
"Uh. . .hello. And you are?"
"I'm Houjou. Do you need help finding anything?"
"Uh. Yeah. I need help finding the office."
"Ok. Follow me." As Houjou took the lead, Inuyasha couldn't help wondering why this guy he just met was helping him. Was it a joke or something? They had been walking for a while now, when Houjou said "Here it is. I hope you have a nice day!"
While Inuyasha walked through the double doors he was greeted by the secretary.
"Hello. You must be Inuyasha. The principal is waiting in his room right through those doors." She pointed towards the big, shoji-styled doors. "Please welcome yourself while I page him. . .Mr. Morioka. Yes. Inuyasha is here now. Would you like to speak to him?"
"Yes. Send him in right away."
"Inuyasha. You may go now."
Inuyasha got up and walked toward the shoji-styled doors. I wonder what he's like. . .
He opened the doors and heard a deep voice say "Please sit Inuyasha. I'd like to speak with you about some matters considering this school. I will give you your schedule and handbook shortly."
"Yes sir." He said as he took a seat in the comfortable red chair.
"Ok then. Let's start. I'm sure you have seen all that you need of our school so far, right?"
"Yeah. Your school is very impressive. It's very big."
"Well. As a freshmen, you will be meeting new people-meaning the same position as you-because we accept students from all over the state. Also notice that our senior student, Houjou, will be helping you if you ever need help. As a matter of fact, I know he was helping you today. He's a good student, and leader when he can be."
So, that's the guy who helped me. . .I should thank him later, and tell him it's not that big of a deal for him to help me like that.
"Here is your schedule. . .If you want any changes then you are welcome to do so, but only until the 3rd week. Then you are stuck with the classes you have. And here's your handbook. Please read this thoroughly. We do not tolerate rule-breakers."
"Thank you. Is that all?"
"Yes, you are free to go. If you need any help finding your classes just ask."
Inuyasha stood up and walked toward the door with the new papers in front of him. I wonder what 1st hour is. . .
Class Schedule:
A-Day Schedule.
1. Gym/Health
2. American History
3. Pre-Algebra(Lunch during this hour)
4. Language Arts l
B-Day Schedule.
1. Study Hall
2. Biology
3. Keyboarding(Lunch during this hour)

"Wow. I really need to change some classes. . .Art can be taken out. I'll replace it with. . .Drivers Ed. Mom says I have to learn sometime. So why not now. Ok, what else. Oh, keyboarding. . .Shop. I'll take shop. Ok that's good. I don't want to change anything else."
As he wandered the halls, he looked at his locker number, 471. The combination is 38-12-14. Ok, let's see. . .389, 390, 391. This isn't anywhere near mine. He turned a corner and found locker number 460. Getting closer. . .465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, and 471. Ok. 38. . .12. . .14. . .click. He opened the locker to find a top shelf, and three hooks for his bookbag and coat. As he hung his bookbag on the back hook, he started to unzip it and take out a couple pencils and a fresh 5-subject notebook. I guess I don't really need anything since first hour is P.E.
He stowed the belongings on the top shelf for the second class. I wonder where the gym is. . .
After wandering the halls-again-he managed to find the cafeteria. And a woman who looked as if she worked in the kitchen.
"Um. . .excuse me. Can you help me find the gym?"
"Yeah. It's right down the hall and take a left. Then it's the first door on your right. You'll see an old man in there. He's the janitor. He's cleaning it right now." She answered in a scratchy voice. Her hair was pulled tight in a bun in the back as to make sure no hair came loose and fell in the food for the kids at lunch(even though it always does in real life!! it's nasty!). She was old and wrinkled and looked as if she had been working there her whole life because she knew the school like the back of her hand.
"Thanks."
He turned around and walked down the hallway she pointed too. Eventually, he found the old guy cleaning up the floor.
"Hello. Is this the gym?" Inuyasha asked looking around. It didn't look like a gym he'd ever seen. For one, it was too small and had no other people in it playing a game, considering class was a half an hour in.
"Yeah. But you're looking for the health room. It's right over there up those steps. Be careful, those steps are rickety." The old man replied. He looked just as old as the lady in the lunch room. "By the way, who sent you in here?"
"An old woman in the cafeteria."
"Oh. Well. Yeah, it's just right beyond those steps. Be careful." He said as he continued his cleaning.
"Thanks old man." Inuyasha headed toward the steps the old man motioned to. Ok, here it goes. . .
