Hey guys! I'm so glad you all like my story and thanks for all the lovely reviews! ^^ By the way, I'm sorry for tall the grammatical mistakes and all. Please don't mind...so enjoy the chapter!


I drove into the school parking lot with a scowl on my face. Just when I thought my stay here was looking up, it dives right back down in a matter of…words. I called up Sesshomaru this morning telling him about my new discovery (it's not the end of the week I know, but I want out of here) and that I'll be taking the next flight to Japan. But no, he had to spoil my good ol' plans saying in his ever so strong and stern tone, and I quote, 'Stay longer and find out what they are. I want to know everything about them'. So of course I argued back that he can always get his top spies to do that and when I expected his royal pain in the ass to stay the one sentence type of guy-like he always is-, he goes into this whole lecture about being his heir, independence and failure not being an option crap!

That's not all though, things just get even peachier. When I entered the school grounds, the Cullen's had their eyes on me and it was still on me while I parked and sat in my car, engine off. I don't know if it's a good thing they have their interest in me, but they'll find out sooner or later who I really am. From my peripheral vision I watched their lips move in unimaginable speed- well to a human. I caught the motions with ease but sadly, I was no lip reader, and I forgot to listen to what they said. Damn!

Bella walked over to them giving Edward a long, deep hug which after, she slowly turned her eyes towards my direction. Now, I had the whole six of them staring at me. This was getting on my nerves. My scowl deepened, face darkening in utmost irritation. This time my 'ooo-saaa' chant didn't work.

Getting out and closing the door, I felt a pull on my barrier. Someone was trying to break into my mental state. Fists clenching as not to damage my car, my eyes snapped shut as I sent Edward a mental shock. He yelped in surprise and shock, I merely smirked not noticing my nearing friends.

"H!" cheery, perky, high pitched and scared the shit out of me. I quickly grabbed the closest person who stood behind me by the neck, slamming him against the hood of my car. It happens when I'm taken by surprise so sue me! A scream erupted behind me. I looked down at my prey.

"Mike?!" letting go of him, he slid down to the ground gasping for air. Stunned, I looked between the gasping Mike and a horrified Jessica.

"Sorry! I thought you were some…rapist or something" not true but, please don't notice my shifty eyes.

"Rapist? In school?!" Jessica accused, towering over Mike trying to help him up. A nervous chuckle slipped pass my lips.

"Ha-ha-ha…sorry" I squeaked out. Mike holding up his hand, nodded.

"It-it's-o-okay" he managed to wheeze out. When he calmed down, there was a pregnant pause. Suddenly, we all laughed. I don't even know why, but laughing right now felt quite right.

"Wow, you got some strength" Mike spoke up the first to stop laughing. He analyzed me, head to toe as if sizing me up. I laughed again. Leaning towards Jessica, I whispered.

"Maybe when you two start going out, I could teach you a few moves just in case he goes out of hand" she blushed causing me to laugh again. Winking at her, I waved at the two walking towards the school building.

"I'll catch you guys later" I hollered back disappearing out of sight.

Classes weren't so bad. Faces were more familiar and I got acquainted with more of Jessica's friends. Mike was still a bit sore, but he'll live. Lunch came by and new plan formed in my head. Get close to Bella and then I have a VIP pass to the Cullen family. Do this then home sweet home.

Glancing towards Edward, I felt a triumph smile lift up on my lips. He was a mind reader, obviously with what he tried to do this morning. That's one down and four more to go- a shit six more actually; let's not forget mummy and daddy now.

"So what's up with Bella, I heard she was your friend?" innocent as the question may seem, it held a lot more meaning to it. Jessica sighed.

"Ever since she started going out with Edward, she stopped hanging out with us. It's like we're not good enough for her"

"Oh" I didn't say more, not after noting the hurt expression on Jessica's face. I felt guilty for even bringing it up. I stayed silent contemplating my exact moves on how will Kagome Higurashi be Bella Swan's new best buddy.

When school finished, I was driving towards town still thinking about the plan. In Biology I couldn't do much since they both (Edward and Bella) decided to skip class and I haven't had a chance to get close to her with her bodyguards-the Cullen's- surrounding her twenty four-seven. By the way we got a new table in Bio, Edward sure likes to get things done fast.

"Officer Swan, Officer Swan!" a loud, but distant voice called snapping me out of my thoughts. Officer Swan? Bella's dad?

Parking at an empty spot by the road side, I looked at the rear view mirror. A man in his late thirties or maybe early fourties was running up to a guy (probably in his fourties as well) in police clothes. As if a light bulb lit up above my head, I got an idea. Grinning evilly, I got out keeping my eyes on the now talking men. Using my demon hearing, I picked up on their conversation.

"Have you found out who has been killing all those people?" the man asked, fear clear in his voice. Daddy Swan sighed.

"Sorry, nothing yet. We're trying really hard but, it's happening everywhere. Keep your kids indoors for now. At least away from Seattle" this caught my interest. Killing? Hmm…

"Oh…well thank you then" the man walked away disappointed. This was my chance. Daddy Swan walked the opposite way- towards me. I eyed him and his downfall expression. Maybe right now wasn't the time, but I had to find out.

Walking briskly towards him, I took advantage of his bowed head and the beverage he held by 'accidently' bumping into him. His drink spilled all over my top and I hissed at the contact. That was a really hot beverage!

"Arghh" I screamed. Daddy Swan looked up in shock. He rushed to my assistance fumbling over his words of apologies. Fanning my hand over my top, I was glad when I wasn't burning anymore.

"I'm so sorry"

"Oh, it's okay now" he didn't seem convinced. Good.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching-"

I cut him off. "No, no! It's my fault. I should be saying sorry…sorry" he shook his head, disagreeing. Not wanting to continue this pathetic game of taking the blame, I looked around dramatically, changing the topic.

"Oh damn, now what" it was muttered, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Um, I could always give you ride home" looking back at him, I smiled politely.

"Thank you, but I'm not too keen on returning home…" a whimper escaped my lips. "It's… lonely" I was too good. Daddy Swan fell for it.

"Oh well, you can come with me. Bella, my daughter, should be home and you can change into her clothes and…do what you girls do" Bingo! I'm so cut out for Hollywood.

"Bella? Bella Swan?"

"Yes, I'm her father, Charlie"

"Oh wow, well nice to meet you. I'm Kagome Higurashi, new in town" and then as if I suddenly remembered. "By the way, I couldn't intrude-" realization hit him.

"No, you won't be. Please…" I could see he was uncomfortable. Maybe words weren't his thing. Saving the guy from his misery, I nodded.

"Thank you" With that we jumped into his cruiser and off we went to the Swan residence. Okay, is it me or is the name 'Swan' being used a lot. Getting kind of annoying now.

When we got to his home, Bella wasn't home. It was awkward at first, but I took over conversing about…well anything.

"Yes you should come, my brother would love to meet you and Bella" we were talking about Sesshomaru- somewhat typical conversation- which he meeting Charlie and Bella was never gonna happen, but let's amuse him.

"Sounds really fun, and what was that festival you were telling me about?"

"Ah, Cherry Blossom fes-" I stopped at the sound of the door opening and what sounded like two people's footsteps. The keys clanged together as they footsteps came closer and closer.

Bella appeared in the doorway of the lounge, behind her was Edward. Taken back by my sight, Bella gasped. I'm sure it wasn't because I was that unpleasant to the sight, just that she didn't expect me in her house conversing with her dad. Edward on the other hand, like usual stuck to glaring. I smiled; he must have known I was here.

"Bella, you've met Kagome right-"

"What are you doing here?" she demanded and then a look of shame crossed her face.

"I' sorry I di-"

"That's okay. Actually Charlie here invited me over. We got into a little accident and well…" I left it at that. Charlie seemed to have noticed Edward, because when he looked at him, I swear he glared daggers at him before being replaced by a forced (twisted) smile.

"Edward"

"Charlie" he replied back in the exact same tone Charlie had used on him.

"Um…" Bella said, followed by silence. Okay, now it was seriously awkward.

"Well I should go" I said standing up abruptly followed by Charlie.

"No, why don't you stay. Bella do you have anything planned" he directed his eyes towards Bella, who looked at me before glancing at her dad.

"Well I was going over to Edward's, but…"

"It's okay if Kagome goes with you right? Edward?" I looked away for a moment, hiding my smirk before composing myself to protest.

I protested. "That's okay really. You don't have to do this-" Edward cut me off.

"It's fine. My family would love to meet you" I'm sure they would. Lifting a finger to my lips, I pretended to think.

"Well…okay" everyone nodded. Bella went upstairs to change leaving Charlie, Edward and I alone.

We didn't speak, move, and do anything at all. There was some serious tension in the air. Looking towards Edward, I suppressed a gasp when I noticed he wasn't breathing. His chest didn't rise and fall like it should. Looks like my supernatural beings didn't need air, and to notice I was here before seeing me, they have a great sense of smell. Just what were they, certainly not youkais? Two minutes passed when Bella came down in a casual jeans and shirt. Getting into Edward's car, my stomach did flips in glee.

Next stop, the Cullen's!


So what did you think? Good?
