Japan really is such a perverted place. Kagome Higurashi thought as she walked into her new classroom. She tried not to think about all the older men that stared at her when she was making her way to school. She sighed, think this is what mom wants. I have to listen to her; I won't complain, she's already in too much pain about losing dad. Kagome's family moved to Tokyo, Japan from Los Angeles after her father had been in an accident. He had died three weeks ago, and Kagome found herself already healing, but her mother wasn't. Moving to Japan to be closer to all their relatives was the only way she would feel more secure. Kagome tried to think about Japan as a good thing. Meeting new friends, and mostly, she wanted a boyfriend. At the age 15, all her friends had boyfriends and were so happy with them, Kagome thought maybe she'd be happier if she met someone special.

Kagome took her seat in the back of the classroom. She looked around and saw everyone in groups, talking and laughing. She had to admit Japan had some pretty good looking guys. She started to take out her textbooks when another girl sat down next to her and introduced herself. "Hey, you must be new."

Kagome turned around with surprise. Luckily, she spoke Japanese fluently due to all those lessons her parents had made her take when she was younger. "Um, yeah. Hi, I'm Kagome."

The girl smiled brightly, Kagome could tell they'd be friends. She wore loose, light colored jeans, a light pink tank top, and white sneakers. "I'm Sango. You'd better watch out. Knowing the guys at this school, you'd probably be asked out 10 times before lunch today."

Kagome blushed. Sango is such a nice person! She thought happily. "Oh, really? Haha, thanks, I guess."
"Don't worry, that was a compliment. Anyway, welcome to Izayoi High." Sango assured her. "I like you outfit."
Kagome looked at her outfit. She was wearing tight jeans, black ballet flats, and a tight, vintage black rock tee.

For the next 15 minutes, the girls chatted about boys, magazines, and common interests such as sports. The bell finally rang and the teacher walked in.

"Kagome, sit with me and my friends at lunch." Sango whispered. Kagome smiled, knowing she was wanted.

"Hello, most of you know me. But for those who don't, I'm Professor Myoga," the teacher announced to the class. "I understand we have a new classmate today." Myoga picked up an index card and read,"Higurashi Kagome?"

Kagome shyly raised her hand. She hated it when she was an only new person. It had only happened once in her life but she didn't like the feeling.

"There you are, Higurashi. Have you got your schedule?"

Kagome nodded and looked down.

"Good. Now let's begin class."
