AN: I want to make things clear before you read this chapter, because things are going to be confusing. Basically, Kagome is still Kagome, but in a different world. There are many 'different lives' to Kagome, the one that she was in was the one in which she was a pure miko, nothing more. What Midoriko did was bring her to another world in which Kagome is known to be witch. Confused? Doesn't matter, it's not a major part of the story, I just wanted to clarify.

The Sorting, and the Arrogant Ones

"To the transfer and new students, please follow me for the sorting as I call your name. For the students returning, please go to the tables of your house," Professor McGonagall's voice rang out clearly.

"Good luck!" Hermione gave a reassuring smile in Kagome's direction and went to join the others at the Gryffindor table.

Kagome smiled back nervously, wondering which house she was going to be placed in. From the information that Midoriko had provided her with, she gathered that she might as well be in Ravenclaw.

"Transfer student, Kagome Higurashi."

Everyone glanced in her direction as Kagome walked towards the stool with her head held high up, she was not going to disgrace herself at the beginning of the year. Placing the Sorting Hat on, Kagome felt Midoriko's presence rise to meet the Sorting Hat.

Ahhh…so you are the child who's past and future has been changed.

(She is my reincarnation, take good care of her and take care not to let her know that she is in a different world of different destiny)

So you grabbed her from the realm in which she was in Feudal Japan to this realm in which Kagome Higurashi is a highly accomplished miko and witch? You are soooo meddlesome

(Be quiet, I couldn't let my reincarnation go on in life with a broken heart)

Very well

Kagome heard nothing for a while, oblivious of the fact that Midoriko was communicating with the Sorting Hat. Only a while later, did she hear a suppressed muttering near her ears.

Where should I put you, a girl who has no need of a wand? You are brave and intelligent, though a bit too curious for your own good…Cunning at the same time, I see…your heart has been betrayed many times, so even pure you do not deem any others trustworthy…you're fit for all four houses, but I think the most adequate one would be…

"SLYTHERIN!"

The group dressed with a symbol of a green serpent roared as they gained yet another member to their group. Hermione and Ginny looked at Kagome with a look of pity; she was entering hell to be in Slytherin.

Kagome stepped down, her face betraying none of the emotions. She looked up at the end of the table where Snape sat, matching his glare with one of her own. Of course, how could she forget that Snape was the head of Slytherin? That annoying…her mind cursed rather colorfully.

Spotting the Slytherin table, Kagome slipped into the seat unoccupied by others within a radius of 5 people. She truly didn't want another person bothering her right now. She stared off into space as Dumbledore continued with his speech; she was destined to be alone. Shortly afterwards, Dumbledore left, catching her eyes with a twinkle and a curl of his fingers. Kagome took that as s sign and slipped off into the hallways, knowing that no one would be aware of her absence.

Kagome, however, was wrong as a pair of pale blue-gray eyes narrowed as she followed Dumbledore.

"Grandfather…?" Kagome said uncertainly.

A merry chuckle emitted from the old principal's throat as he looked at the granddaughter he had missed for so many years. "So glad that you have returned to this old man! The last time that I had seen you, you were barely up to my waist! Ahhh…time does fly by quickly. Are you comfortable being in Slytherin, if you wish, I can place you in – "

"No, grandpa, it's fine, really. It doesn't make a difference." Kagome cast her eyes away, afraid that Dumbledore would catch her tears and notice her distress.

His wise eyes softened behind the half-moon glances and he gently patted Kagome's back, knowing that it was hard for her. He had seen her enter with many of the Gryffindors she had no doubt befriended on the train. To be thrown into the rivalry house…it must be hard for her.

"Well…if you needed anything, you know how to see this old man without being caught." His eyes twinkled with mirth as he remembered the tricks he had taught her to get past the teachers when she had been a child.

Hearing those words helped Kagome's mood light up as she grinned at the long-bearded old man. "Thanks, grandpa!"

She went back to the great hall, knowing that everyone would soon have to return to the dorms. Unaware of the threats that would soon fall on her, Kagome continued with where she had left off her meal, her surprisingly cheery mood clogging her miko senses that she didn't feel the gaze of a pair of eyes.

Kagome hummed a happy tune and retreated to the Slytherin dorms with the other new students, her eyes bored as she had ran through these halls many times when young (at least in her current memories it was like that)

(You must forget about your other life except for your duty as guardian of the Shikon)

Kagome groaned, sometimes she really hated Midoriko for popping out words like that. It was damn ANNOYING! She trailed after the other Slytherins as she had been distracted by Midoriko's little appearance. Not that she minded being the last one.

"Wait."

Kagome paused as a cool voice halted her form right before she stepped inside the open area that would lead her to her bed, and most hopefully where Snovey would be waiting for her. She needed some warm fur to keep her comfort tonight.

Turning around, she found herself face to face with a blonde-haired boy, icy eyes staring at her with a look akin to disgust.

"Are you a mudblood?"

Kagome glowered at him for his rudeness. Having heard the word from Ginny, she knew exactly what he was implying.

"I don't think we're well acquainted enough for you to be asking such questions." Kagome raised an eyebrow as two bulky looking Slytherins flanked his side, another snobbish looking girl appearing at the same time.

Since when had they gotten there? Kagome thought.

"I can ask anything I wish, and I'm sure that my fellow Slytherins don't want mudbloods mixed up in our little family." He sneered.

Kagome looked at the boy who was obviously in need of a beating to be brought down a few notches. First Snape, now this arrogant idiot. Was Slytherin full of idiots…? Remembering Ginny's words, Kagome considered herself in deep shit.

"Don't give us that look! I'm Pansy Parkinson, and that's Draco Malfoy. Every person who enters Slytherin respects our wishes and does what we command, and you, better do the same!" she raised her head higher as if attempting to make sure Kagome knew who was the one with more power.

Kagome smiled a seemingly polite one, though inside she was seething, she.reminded.her.too.much.of.Yura. "Kagome Higurashi, pleased to meet you."

"Don't give me that crap, are you a mudblood or not?" Malfoy said as Crabbe and Goyle stepped up cracking their knuckles.

Kagome Higurashi was not impressed by their antics; they were exactly the same as the ignorant youkai she had dealt with in the Feudal era.

Now…I wonder if my powers will work on wizards and witches…since in this world I'm known to be a famous witch without the use of a wand, I should at least have some sort of power…

"Draco asked you a question!" Pansy said with high-pitched voice that made Kagome cringe.

"Would you like to test it?" Kagome smirked as her whole body glowed with bright blue light.

Pansy started backing off as soon as the danger alert went off in her head. Malfoy reached inside his robes for his wand as Kagome's powers started leaking out, making him and others quite uncomfortable in its presence. Spotting Malfoy's little movement; Kagome reached out with a tendril of her power and wrapped it around his wand, tugging it so that it came out of its hiding place and out of Malfoy's grasps.

"Now let's be fair, I'm not using a wand."

Her mind danced with glee as she watched Malfoy's face darken. Too long…she had been pushed around by Sesshoumaru, Naraku, and often Inuyasha's arrogance for far too long. Despite restraining herself because she knew they had much greater power that could kill her, she had always inwardly complained. Now here was another arrogant imitation of those three, and Kagome felt that she had enough reason to release some pent up emotions.

Her powers lashed out tauntingly close to their skin, barely burning them but merely leaving slight scratch marks that would never be enough to get her into detention.

"Even if I were a mudblood, I sure have a lot more power than the so called pure-blood." Kagome said with an angry snap, twirling around and entering her dorm without a second glance back at the people who had dared bothered her.

"Well…she sure the hell is feisty…" Crabbe commented.

"Definitely not a mudblood…" Goyle continued.

"Shut up, you two!" Malfoy snapped.

He was mad, really mad. No one in Slytherin dared to treat him that way, and he was going to make sure that her life as a Slytherin was going to be living hell.

Just you wait…Kagome Higurashi.

Unaware of Malfoy's vow, Kagome went back to the room assigned to her, spotting Snovey sitting by the windowsill, only to nearly trip when she heard words forming from Snovey's mouth.

"Be careful of Draco Malfoy, he's one known to take revenge seriously," a soft gentle honey-coated voice.

"Si-since when could YOU talk!?" Kagome sputtered.

Snovey snorted, "All white wolves can talk, and we just never bother communicating with anyone else beside our owners. That, is also one of the reasons that we are so rare and treasured."

Kagome frowned; she didn't need to deal with arrogance both outside and inside of her room. Though she did wonder what had she meant?

"What do you mean about Draco Malfoy? He's just a spoiled brat with no knowledge of etiquette, I've tested his aura."

"His father is a Death Eater, something that he will grow up to be as well. Considering how ambitious the Malfoy family are, it is no doubt that trouble will come towards you. Maybe in the next few days…I think that his parents will be coming over, or maybe something drastic will happen," Snovey said with a flick of her claw.

Kagome gaped, her eyes equivalent to the ones of a fish, "Bu-but, that is SO DARN STUPID!"

Snovey looked away, clearly not wishing to continue the conversation. After Kagome climbed into the wide canopy bed, Snovey followed suite and curled up near her.

"Don't worry, I'll guide you,"

Kagome yawned and placed her hands around Snovey as she had previously done to Shippo. At least there was some reminder that would comfort her. She blew the candle and went to sleep, hoping for a better day.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Next Day, Breakfast IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"What did I tell you, you should have listened to us yesterday and be just a little agreeable," Draco sneered.

"Oh you won't be getting out of this one with your weak powers. Seeing as how we have so many people against just you, I think that it won't be a long time before you surrender," Pansy haughtily stepped forward.

Kagome was really getting tired of group bullying. Apparently, Malfoy had decided to gather up at least about 14 Slytherins and was attempting to mess up her morning. Perhaps if he had chosen more…educated wizards they would be able to bring her down. But being the dimwit as he usually was, Malfoy had chosen wizards and witches who barely knew anything about magic.

Her eyes betrayed nothing of what she planned, something that she had picked up from Sesshoumaru. Her fingertips started glowing blue, unseen by the human eye. Just as they raised their wands, Kagome released the whip-like attack, another thing that she had picked up from Sesshoumaru. Then all of a sudden, all of their powers were neutralized and the hall became empty of powers. Kagome watched amusedly as some of the Slytherins' legs quivered.

"All of you, detention with me! Kagome Higurashi, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle, meet Hagrid at his hut after classes. Hagrid will take you on a little hunt in the Forbidden Forest!" Professor McGonagall said sharply, sending accusing gazes towards every one of them.

Malfoy stilled at the words of the professor he had absolutely grown to despise. He HATED the Forbidden Forest, as proven when he had first entered with Harry and the rest. Not to mention, who knows what new dangers could be crawling around the place? Centaurs weren't as big a problem as the nasty spiders of Aragog.

Kagome accepted the punishment with a bored look; she remembered the Forbidden Forest and knew it like the back of her hand. Twice in a row, she had sneaked off when she was little in the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid when he had been young.

It was no big deal.

End.

AN: I know that this chapter was also rather short, but the next chapter is the critical one. But of course, it's the chapter that starts building a relationship between Malfoy and Kagome!!!! I'm gonna LOVE writing the next chapter…evil laugh
