The World Can Be Very Strange

Chapter One: Another Fresh Start

Kagome's POV

OK, so, it was the first day at a new school. I had just moved to a different area in Tokyo and had to start fresh. Again. I remember when I was in elementary school and had to move.

Flashback:

"Hi Kaggie!" Inuyasha shouted to me.

"Hi Yashie," I replied sadly.

"What's wrong?" he asked me.

"My mom told me I have to go to a new school because we're moving."

"Oh."

Silence.

"Well then I'll throw you a goodbye party!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Thanks Yashie for always being there for me." I hugged him. What, we were only 7 years old

Well, now we were moving again. Only this time I was in middle school, 7th grade. I don't know anyone and everyone already has their friends, well besides the losers that no one wants to be friends with. I'm not trying to be mean, but I am going to be one of those losers soon. Ugh.

So here I am, walking to school, alone.

By the time I get there I'm almost late, and I have to run to get to class on time.

"This is Miss Higurashi. She is our new student." The teacher said. "You may have the seat next to... Koga." he points to a boy with a Long brown ponytail. He was a wolf demon, and he was staring at me. Uncomfortably.

I sat down next to him. "Um.. hi. You can call me Kagome..." I told him.

"Alright, Kagome. I'm Koga. Just tell me if you have any problems, I can help. People kind of respect me around here... well lets just say I have my people, and you can be one of them." He points to two guys sitting on the far side of the room. "That's Ginta and Hakakku, I guess you could say they're my 'bros'."

I rolled my eyes and looked up at the teacher, pretending to listen to his boring lecture.

During lunch, I didn't know where to sit. I didn't know anyone, really, and i didn't exactly want to sit next to Koga. But he said I would be welcome there, so I made my way over to his table.

On the way, I accidentally bumped into a girl and her lunch fell to the ground.

"oops, sorry!" I said as I reached down to help her pick some things up.

"It's OK." she said. "You're Kagome Higurashi, right?" she asked.

"Yeah."

She had long brown hair in a low ponytail and was very pretty. She looked delicate yet... strong at the same time.

"Cool. I'm in your class. My name's Sango, wanna sit with me?"

"Sure," I said, following her to a table where a girl with cream-colored hair was sitting next to a small girl with medium-length black hair with a small ponytail on the side of her head.

"This is Kagome." She said to her friends. "Kagome, This is Kirara and Rin." She said gesturing towards the girl with blond-ish hair and then to the small girl.

"Hi," I said as Sango and I sat down.

"OK," Sango said. "So, You see that guy over there?" She pointed to a guy with black hair in a small ponytail at his neck.

I nodded.

"NEVER go near him unless you have to."

"Why?"

"Because he's Sango's" Rin said.

"No he's not! Shut up, Rin! It's because he's the most perverted guy in the school."

"Um, OK?"

"OK, so then there's Kikyo." She pointed to a girl with long, black hair in a loose ponytail tied with ribbon. She had pale skin and to me looked really pretty.

"What about her?"

"She's... Mysterious. She and Inuyasha were in love... but then they suddenly stopped talking to each other."

I froze.

"Did you say Inuyasha?"

"Yeah, that would be him." She pointed to a guy with long, silver hair and dog ears.

It was the same Inuyasha I knew from elementary school.

"I know him..." I said.

"You do?"

"Yeah, we went to elementary school together."

"Oh. Well, I bet he won't remember you. He's kind of... I don't know. But he seems to always be in a bad mood."

"Oh."

"OK, so I see that you've already met Koga... I think he likes you."

"Me too... He seemed kind of like an airhead, though. He acted all tough and cool but I wasn't impressed."

"Yeah, he's not exactly popular but I guess you could say that he... Knows people."

"OK. Anyone else I should know about?"

"Hmm... i don't think so... Oh yeah, Naraku. He's kind of like the popular guy but not really popular, more like everyone is afraid of him. He always has people to do his dirty work for him, like Bankotsu and Kagura." She pointed to a guy with a long, black braid and a girl with medium-length black hair clipped up on her head. "I don't know where Naraku is right now, probably getting into fights... and winning. People say that if you even witness him fighting someone then you get hurt. But rumor has it that he has a soft spot for Kikyo." She smirks. "I guess I really don't know what to believe, though. Just telling you what I know."

Miroku walks over to our table. "Hi Sango," he says.

"You better not try anything..." Sango warns.

"But i just want to-"

Sango cuts him off by smacking him. Hard.

"That was totally worth it..." Miroku managed to say before falling to the ground.

Kirara, Rin, and I just quietly continue eating.

The bell rings, and we go to our next class.

At the end of the day, I see Inuyasha standing by a row of lockers and can't help but saying hi to him.

"Hi, Inuyasha." I begin. "I don't know if you remember me but-"

"Hey, you look like Kikyo." He says, cutting me off.

"Well I'm NOT Kikyo. I'm Kagome."

"Hooray, you know your own name."

"Well you've certainly changed..." I mutter. "Um... so, we were friends in elementary school, do you remember? It was a long time ago, like in 2nd grade, and I moved away."

"Oh yeah, I knew the name sounded familiar, Kaggie." He smirks. "Later," he waves and walked away.

"rude." I say. I turn around and guess what? There's Koga.

"Don't bother talking to that mutt. He's just a stupid puppy." He grins and takes my hand. "Wanna walk home together?"

"Um... OK..." I say.

We walk home, and he blabbers on about something boring. By the way, I am not still holding his hand. But I do try to be nice, so I don't tell him he's boring or anything.

"So, you wanna go out with me?" He asks.

Wow, I get asked out on the first day.

"Um..."

"Come on, Kagome. You can be my woman." He grabs my hand again. Ugh.

"I don't really... I mean, we are only in 7th grade..."

"Does it matter, though? If your mom won't let you date that's fine but-"

"Uh sure." I reply quickly, not wanting to hear him talk any longer. "Just one date..."

He smiles. "Alright then, one date."

But I am nobody's woman.

By now I'm at my house, and start walking up to it. "Bye," I wave at him, and then go inside and run straight up to my room.

I need to call Sango.

OK, so how did you like the first chapter? To be honest I think this is one of my better fanfictions because I actually have a plan for what's going to happen. I'll try to update ASAP ok? ^.^ Please review and give me some feedback cuz your opinions do make a difference... I'm completely open to ideas.

Also I don't want this story to be too cliche but if it is I can't help it sorry. If you don't like it, don't read it.
