AN 082509: I started this story in middle school, with an inferior style, flow, and grammar. I owe my readers the integrity to have this updated, so that's what I'll do :) Starting from chapter 6, things will be new and improved. I'll keep the style of the story though, for the sake of consistency. I PROMISE, I DO WRITE BETTER THAN THIS, -thumbs up-
Maybe I'll edit this stuff later.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. If I did, I would give him to say0mi saki because she is cool and awesome tahaha.

CHAPTER ONE

-

-

Kagome barely makes it into the room on time.

When she gets to her seat, she was out of breath from her long run. Stupid Kikyo, she was the one who killed her alarm clock and made her late.

Kikyo was curling her hair last night because on her first day of being a senior in Goshinkobu, she had to look gorgeous.

It's not easy keeping your rep.

She couldn't find the curler cord to plug into the outlet so she had to get batteries, There were none, so oh-so considerate Kikyo had grabbed the little things from Kagome's alarm clock to power her curler.

Kagome sighed, she was used to her sister's selfish acts. She's familiar with it at school, from their very first day of freshman year, Kikyo had been bumping up her way to popularity by pushing other people away. She blows her cottony hair up, an eye on the clock. Class would start in seconds.

She was right, moments later the bell had rung and her teacher greeted the class, introduced herself and all the jazz that happens on the first day of the new school year. Kagome didn't pay attention. She was a good student, but when there wasn't anything interesting going on, she would start daydreaming.

She was broken out of her thoughts when the door opens and a meek looking girl comes in.

"Mrs. Suki I'm so sorry! My car broke down mid way to school and I had to ru-"

"No excuses. Go take your seat." Shescribbles something on a clipboard and turns back to her class. Kagome shudders a little as the teacher meets her gaze, this year was going to be just as terrible as all her others. With the strict teacher, Kikyo, and InuYasha."

Speaking of InuYasha, a few moments after the girl took her seal the door threw open and a boy with stunning silver hair came in. Kagome's best friend Sango nudges her from behind.

The boy had matured amber eyes that scanned skeptically around the room. He allows his eyes to rest for a moment and then walks to Mrs. Suki.

"Sorry I'm late teach. I had car problems." Mrs. Suki starts to nod furiously.

"Yes, I understand. That's fine. Go take a seat please."

Kagome's jaw dropped. WHAT??

She was appalled at how InuYasha got special treatment just because he was popular! She understood him getting his way with the students, but the teachers too? She lets her head fall on the desk. This was going to be a long and annoying year.

InuYasha makes his way through the column of seats and takes his place at the back of the room. He had a whole row to himself and there he analyzed everybody as if he were seeing who was "worthy." Kagome rolls her eyes at him and turns back to the front of the classroom.

"Psst! Kagome! It's your lover boy." Sango sings to her. Kagome grit her teeth and whispers back fiercely.

"I do not like him!"

"Mhm sure." Sango nods teasingly at the back of Kagome's head.

"I don't! And be quiet before we get in trouble!"

"Fine." She says with satisfaction.

Kagome was incredibly glad when it was time for lunch. She needed to get away from that boy. So far, they had the exact same schedule.

Sango scrambles behind her as she makes her way to the vending machine.

"Quit walking so fast! Girl, do you know how hard it is to walk with flats that are two sizes smaller than you?"

When she gets to the machine, InuYasha and his friends were there. The girls brush past him.

Kagome hits the button for the chocolate bar on the machine and dropped in fifty cents. Behind her, she could hear murmurs. Next to her, Sango coughed multiple times and winked. She rolled her eyes.

'Hurry up!!' She willed the machine. She didn't want to have to be near InuYasha for so long. Still, nothing happened.

'Come on!' She begins to tap her foot impatiently. Moments passed, but to her it seemed like an eternity. Finally, InuYasha who had been observing the whole scene reached into his pocket and got out fifty cents.

"I think you're supposed to drop to money in and then press the button?" He demonstrated as he said and watched as the machine produced the candy bar.

Kagome's face lit up as bright as a tomato, Sango barely suppressed a giggle. InuYasha hands the candy to her and pats her on the head, making her cheeks grow even more hot.

"Meh, it's okay. We all have our off days." He shrugs and walks away and Sango laughs some more.

'Someone kill me.'

Kagome stares at the devil machine and absentmindedly grabs Sangos sleeve, pulling her away.

"That was funny." Sango grins widely.

"Shut. Up." Kagome seethed.

"It's okay. I'm sure you'll feel better once you ask him to the dance." They stop in their tracks.

"What dance?"

"The welcome back one?"

Kagome scrunched up her face.

"Ew."

"Oh come one, you know you want InuYasha to take you."

"Um, no!"
