AN: Hi, guys! This is my first story on FanFiction, so please tell me if anything is wrong, or something! I have read FanFiction stories for a long time and decided it was time that I wrote one of my own! This may be my first FanFiction story, but it isn't my first time writing, so I think I have a pretty good idea on what to do. On with the story!
Chapter One
Returning to School
The Great Hall was buzzing with excitement. It was a new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and old friends were reunited after the summer break. Even the teachers were glad to be back; well some were. Professor Dumbledore was happily chatting with Professor McGonagal when the doors to the Great Hall were thrown open with tremendous force.
Two people stood at the entrance; a black haired girl and a silver haired boy.
"You old bastard, what the hell are we doing here!" the boy called out, stunning the entire room into silence. He was wearing a bandana over his silver hair, a red shirt, black pants with silver chains, a beaded necklace, and a sword at his side, which was being gripped with a clawed hand. He began to walk forward, but the girl beside him stopped him.
She was looking at Dumbledore with questioning brown eyes. She walked to the table where he was and stopped. "Yes, why are we here? You told us we wouldn't have to come, yet we were brought here. Tell me why." She demanded in an eerily calm, loud voice. She was wearing a green shirt, black pants with silver chains, black combat boots, and a bow with a quiver full of arrows over her shoulder. The boy walked up beside her scowling.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and stood with a smile. "You are both here because you need to be. That is all I will say right now, other than you must be sorted."
The boy growled and the kids closest to him jumped at the sound. "You mean to tell me that we have to stay here? For the whole year? Dammit!" he turned to the girl, running his fingers through his hair. "You talk to him! He's your uncle!"
She narrowed her eyes at him, "One, not by choice, and two, what do you want me to do, huh?" she growled back.
"Did he say Professor Dumbledore was her uncle? Is he really? She's so young though, and he's so old!" was whispered rapidly throughout the Hall, until she turned around and gave them all a glare fit to scare Voldemort out of his pants.
Dumbledore smiled wider and cleared his throat once again. "Yes, everyone, I would like to meet my niece, Kagome Higurashi and her friend Inuyasha Takahashi. They will both be in the seventh year, so-"
"I don't think so Uncle," nobody had noticed her while Dumbledore was talking, but she now had an arrow notched and ready to shoot in his direction, and Inuyasha was leaning on his sword with a smirk on his face.
"Professor! Look out!" was heard from many people who stood up to yell for his safety, but he continued to smile.
"Heh heh, now were talking," said an amused Inuyasha.
"I'm really tired of everyone making my decisions for me, so stop! Let us think about it, and we will let you know." And she undid her bow and arrow before she turned to Inuyasha, looking directly into his golden eyes, and him into her brown ones. All of a sudden, a soft pink glow radiated from Kagome, enclosing the two of them in a bubble of pink light.
They had been talking telepathically but Inuyasha had asked her to create a silencing bubble instead because he was getting a headache. He wasn't as used to it as much as she was.
"I guess we could do it, I mean, I don't like the guy but we need to be here. You know what's going to happen! I told you!" she sighed, "Besides, I think I want to be here, you know, just to be here." She rubbed her eyes, frustrated with the hanyou beside her, who was shaking his head repeatedly.
"No! I don't care, and I don't want to! It has nothing to do with us, and if I have to be in school I'm going to kill someone!" he ran his fingers through his hair, "We are not staying, and that is final! We will leave and not turn around!"
Kagome's eyes narrowed dangerously and twitched consistently as she hissed out, "Do not make my decisions for me! We will stay to do what we were brought here to do!" she stopped herself and took a deep breath. "Please. Do this for me, Inuyasha," she put her hand on his shoulder.
He started to object, but her hand suddenly went to his necklace and he paled visibly and looked around at the filled Hall before agreeing on the condition that he could wear his own clothes.
She chuckled and smiled, "Of course! I will too, I don't do the robes they have here." And with that statement gave him a big hug which he returned, if a bit awkwardly.
To those outside of the bubble, it was kind of funny seeing them make all of those motions without hearing any sound whatsoever from them.
Kagome took back the power from the bubble and turned back to Dumbledore. "We'll stay, but we wear our own clothing, are in the same classes, and are free to roam the grounds. All of them." She said to him with her mind as he listened patiently and nodded.
"Wonderful!" he picked up his wand and flicked it, "Accio Sorting Hat!" the sorting hat flew into the Great Hall and into Dumbledore's waiting hands. He placed it atop Kagome's head and waited.
"Hmm, strong-willed, brave, loyal to your friends and family, and oh! What is this? Great Power you possess! You are a miko, are you not?" She smirked at the voice of the hat. "You don't need a wand, but have one anyways… you are good and helpful and kind…you belong in GRYFFINDOR!"
She took off the hat and handed it to Dumbledore who in turn placed it atop Inuyasha's head.
"Hmm, you are rude, ill-tempered, and mean, but also brave and wise. Fiercely loyal to your friends, and would risk anything and everything for them. You have special power as well; you're a dog half-demon, am I correct?" He grunted the affirmative to the voice. "You also do not require a wand… you do not wish to be separated from the miko…you belong in GRYFFINDOR!"
With that, the hat floated back to Dumbledore's office to do whatever it is it did after it finished sorting kids.
Some people clapped, but were quickly silenced at the glares sent their way by the two new students.
"Congratulations! Now, if you two will please be seated, we need to get on with the feast." He flicked his wand and they both were pushed by invisible forces to an empty spot at the Gryffindor table. "Now, let's continue with our feast everyone, dig in!"
With that statement, everyone continued eating and talking, and sneaking glances at the end of the table at Kagome and Inuyasha. Most of the talk was about them too.
"Oh my god! That Inuyasha guy is so hot! So do you think they're just friends? God I hope so!" exclaimed Lavender Brown to her best friend Parvati Patil.
"Don't worry about it Lav, the headmaster introduced them as just friends! I think you have as good a chance as I do, and that's a pretty good chance if you ask me! Hehe!" Parvati answered laughing.
Most of the female population were thinking or saying the things along the same lines as Lavender and Parvati. Many others were plotting ways to make Inuyasha forget all about Kagome, even if they knew that the plans wouldn't work. As for the guys, well, they all had the same response. "Damn, Kagome is hot!" The ones with girlfriends at the time were helping their friends think of ways to make her notice them. Of course, they were all very stupid and would never work.
"That Kagome chick is hot, hey Harry, do you think she would say yes if I asked her out?" asked Ron to his best friend, Harry, with a hopeful look on his face.
"I don't know mate, they look really close and, no offence, but that Inuyasha guy could probably rip you to shreds very easily. Look at him! He has claws!" Harry replied sensibly.
"Hey, Harry, Ron, let's go over there and meet them! We can get to know them, and they will get to know us and we can be friends! Come on, let's go!" said Hermione as she got up and started walking towards the end of the table intent on making those two her friends. Harry and Ron followed her after they shared a look across the table that plainly said Hermione.
Kagome and Inuyasha were in a debate about the edibility of the school's food when Hermione came up. "Hi, I'm Hermione and I was wondering if my friends and I could sit with you." She chirped brightly and motioned for the guys to introduce themselves, when she noticed that they weren't listening to her. They seemed to be staring at the people she was talking to, so she jabbed them in the side with her elbow to wake them up.
"Hi, I'm Harry." Said Harry, rubbing his side where Hermione's sharp elbow had stabbed him, and extended his hand.
"I'm Ron, how are you?" he said apparently not feeling the effects of Hermione's jab, probably because he was used to them by now. He extended his hand as well.
Kagome shook their hands and smiled up at them while Inuyasha just stared, making them feel really small and useless. "Hi, sure you can, but can you do one thing first? Tell Inuyasha that this food is okay to eat and just because it appeared magically doesn't mean it's tainted in any way." She said brightly.
Hermione immediately took the lead and explained that there was nothing wrong with the food except that it was being made by poor house elves that should be free, at which point was prevented from speaking due to the hands over her mouth belonging to her friends.
"Sorry about that, she doesn't like how the house elves work here for no pay or anything, even though they like it that way." Replied Harry due to the questioning glances Kagome and Inuyasha were giving Hermione. He sat down beside Inuyasha with Ron on his left. Hermione sat next to Kagome and started talking about her S.P.E.W. organization and asking if she would like to join. Kagome could only shake her head 'no' before she was on another subject.
The feast went on, and they talked about the school and the teachers; well, Hermione, Harry, and Ron talked. The other two just looked at them and hardly made a noise. Finally, it was over and everyone started to get up to go to their dormitories to sleep after the long, tiring day.
They were pulled in the right direction by their new 'friends' who seemed reluctant to let them go. They were very confused when they stopped at a painting of a very fat lady in a pink dress, but caught on when there escorts said the password –pumpernickel- and were led inside to the Gryffindor common room.
"Come on, Kagome, our dormitory is over here!" said Hermione as she pulled her to the right staircase.
"Bye Inuyasha, see you tomorrow. I hope. I wish she wasn't so clingy!" Kagome talked through her mind to Inuyasha, who was being dragged to the left staircase.
"Yeah, the same with these two. They really need to leave me alone. If only you would let me do something to them! You and your rules of not maiming the people here…" he replied dead-panned.
"I'm warning you right now, do anything to really hurt these people, and I will s- word you to next week!" she yelled out loud.
"Yeah, yeah, I heard you. Now could you please unfreeze everything? I'm tired of standing here," he smirked.
"…oops…" she undid her spell that set off accidentally.
"I really wish I was somewhere else right now…" they said in unison under their breath as they walked the final steps to their rooms and closed the doors.
AN: So that's it for chapter one, and I'm really sorry that it's so short! The chapters will be longer! SO…. How was it? Please review and tell me… so sorry if anyone is too OOC… I'm trying to get them right… once again: did it suck? Was it good? Was it iffy? I need to know to get better!
