Again I say I DO NOT own Inuyasha
Chapter One ~ The Wolves of Kilika High
"Alright Wolf cubs, show me what you got." Announced a raven-haired girl in a red and brown female cheerleading outfit to the newbies that were currently lined up through the center of the gym. "It is time for this years cheerleading tryouts." The girl sat at a table with two other cheerleaders to judge those trying out for the squad. They had to fill the spots left behind by last years graduates so that their squad would have at least 10 members, right now they only had 7. "OK, first on the list is Rin Achinosai. So step forward and the rest of you can grab a seat on the bleachers."
A small girl in a yellow and orange plaid dress stepped forward, her jet-black hair tied back in a high ponytail. "Alright, here I go." The girl proceeded to do a little cheer involving a few flips and turns as well as a sweet voiced chant. The judges marked something down on their papers and told Rin to take a seat.
"Ok next up. Ai Hogashi." Another small girl climbed down from her seat on the bleachers. Her short dark brown hair was pulled up in a small bun with two seashell-looking clips. She wore a short pink dress that rested just above her knees. Once she calmed down a bit she proceeded to show what she had to give and was then sent to sit down.
The next 20 minutes went on just the same as the first two; they got called up, did a cheer then sat back down. Finally the last student stepped forwards. "Shiori Yamamoru." The tanned girl was tall for her age, with mid-length platinum blond hair. At the sight of the nearly white hair the raven-haired judge froze up for a second before telling the girl to start. Once she was finished she sat back down as the three judges' went over what they thought. Once done the male cheerleader walked up to the newbies, his short black hair tied to the side with a small yellow bow.
"Alright we have made our decision. The following three girls are in. The rest of you don't give up hope you can always try again next year. Now when, if I call your name you are to go over to the side with the rest of the squad and they will take your measurements for your uniform." He took a deep breath and looked into all the hopeful eyes. "Rin Achinosai, Shiori Yamamoru, and lastly Ai Hogashi, you girls are in. Welcome to the Wolves." The students got up from their spots, most grumbling and complaining, a few getting teary eyed and crying, as the majority walked over to the gym doors. The three girls who were called had made it over to the squad and were joyful that they had made it in.
Everyone stared as a tall dark haired male walked trough the hallways. His hair left down fell to the center of his back, his bag tossed lazily over his leather clad shoulder, his skin tan in color, and his eyes a deep violet that gave off a sense of mystery. He strolled through the school with a scowl on his face as he pushed by the crowds of students as he headed towards the main office. In the crowds that were watching him stood two gaping girls as they watched the new hunk hand in some papers to the secretary through the window. "Talk about hot." The redheaded girl said to her friend, both were dressed in their cheerleading outfits.
"I know, wonder who it is?" The raven asked, as she looked the new kid over from head to toe.
"I'm not sure, but I am sure I want a piece of that."
"Ayame," The raven nudged her friend. "What do you think Koga would say if he heard that?"
"Nothing, he's always telling me that if I want a guy to go ahead as long as he's the only one I love." She smiled sweetly. "He does the same."
Her friend shook her head. " I can't believe you two would actually do that." She said as the warring bell rang and she headed for class.
"Class we have a new student joining us today, all the way from France." The teacher motioned towards the black-haired boy. "Why don't you introduce your self, maybe say a few things to the class." He suggested.
"I am Inuyasha Miyamoto. It's a pleasure to meet you all." He bowed forwards slightly in a show of respect before taking in the faces of his classmates. There was nothing really special about any of them, except for one girl who seemed to stick out among the rest. Dark black hair framing her delicate pale features, and her blue eyes the most beautiful Inuyasha had seen, but behind them lay a secret a deep pain and longing pleas. They were mesmerizing, but when she turned those eyes on him he quickly looked away turning to the teacher. "So where is it that you would like me to sit?" He asked and the teacher pointed to a desk at the back of the room. Just behind the blue-eyed beauty.
"Alright class now take out your textbooks and turn to page 34, today we will be reading the short story "Masque of the Red Death."
Second period went by in a similar fashion and soon it was the student's second favorite time of the day, next to heading home, it was lunch. The cafeteria was full by the time Inuyasha located it. At one point he even asked for directions, despite how much it hurt his pride, and he was told it was next to the pool on the third floor. Although he was skeptical that a pool would be on a higher level he trusted the other student's words and proceeded to try and find the third floor till a teacher directed him in the proper direction.
'Stupid kid, stupid cafeteria, stupid school, stupid everything why do I even have to be here. In swear I must have passed high school at least twenty times already, but that doesn't matter because I need to fit in, I need to learn. Feh, I could teach more then half of the classes and still have time to do as a please.' Inuyasha thought angrily to himself. Distracted by his thought he was unaware that there was someone walking in front of him until the both landed on the floor from having smashed into the other. He was about to yell at the other person when he heard a sweet voice.
"I am so, it's was my fault I should have watched where I was going." He looked up to find blue eyes looking down at him. "Here let me help you." She offered her hand and but Inuyasha got up on his own and brushed himself off.
"It's fine, no big deal."
"Yeah well I am still sorry. If you want you can come sit with us, there isn't many spots to sit left in here."
"I don't need a place to sit." He then left the cafeteria, lunch in hand, and headed to the roof that he had come across earlier. 'Why does she seem so familiar?'
After lunch Inuyasha had Shop class, and once again the blue-eyed girl was in his class. 'Why is she in all my classes.' Inuyasha thought as two boys wearing male cheerleading outfits sat down beside him having no other places to sit.
"Hey there cutie." The one to his left said as he sat down. "You single." Inuyasha's face morphed into one of shock.
"Can it Jakotsu." The other said. "You're scaring the poor guy."
"Am not." He said defensively as he looked over at his companion. "How rude." He muttered in fake hurt as he turned his head the other way, eyes shut and a pout on his lips.
"Ah gezz, Jak must you always do that." He sighed loudly. "OK I am sorry, you can say what ever you want and it doesn't matter, you aren't scaring anyone, I was just being mean." A small smile slipped across Jakotsu's face for a split second before he lunged to hug his friend, knocking Inuyasha out of his seat in the process. "Ah, I love you Ginta." He said as he nearly strangled the other squad member in his hug, completely ignoring the teen on the ground.
"Ok, OK I get it. Now please, I can't breath." Jakotsu let go and apologized before taking Inuyasha's seat, leaving the new boy with his old one, now having forgotten what had happened just minutes before.
Shop class was over quickly, then came Art, it seemed that this was the only class Inuyasha didn't have with the girl from earlier. Sighing contently he sat down, it wasn't that he didn't like her, it was just that every time she was around he felt a sharp pain and wasn't sure why. Not to mention the eerie feeling of familiarity about her, yet he had never seen her before, or at least he didn't think so.
"Is this seat taken?"
"Huh?" Inuyasha looked up to see a girl with long brown hair looking down at him.
"Can I seat here?" She pulled on the chair.
"Yeah sure. I don't see why it matters."
"It's called being nice." She didn't take her eyes off him. "You're the new guy right?"
"Um yeah."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Sango. Sango Kilala. And you are?"
"Inuyasha." He muttered out plainly he was not looking forward to being in this school for the next 10 months. Let alone in this city, he had bad memories here. Although the old village was long gone, it was in this area that he lived as a child. It was here that the humans killed his mother without reason.
"…iking it here?" Inuyasha was startled out of his thoughts at the sound of Sango's voice.
"Huh, what'd you say?"
She sighed loudly. "I asked 'how are you liking it here?' but apparently you'd rather be left to yourself then talk to anyone."
"That would be nice thanks." He muttered then turned his attention to the rather plump female teacher standing at the front of the room going on about tradition art in Japan during the 18th century. 'As if I don't already know enough about it.' But thinking about that time period Inuyasha's thoughts traveled back in his memories to a peaceful time in his life.

A small boy bounce a ball around his small yard, the kid from the house next to his was out as well to play with him while their mother's baked. "Here you go Inuyasha." The taller boy through the ball to him but the smaller child was unable to catch it. The taller boy laughed. "Here roll I back and you can try again."
"Ok here you go Sesshomaru." Inuyasha then tried to throw it but the ball didn't get far.
"Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, dinner." Called Inuyasha's mother, the two boys headed inside. Since neither mother had a husband, and the boys were around the same age they two small families did pretty much everything together.
"OK dig in boys, we have some work to do afterwards." Sesshomaru's mother was a painter, though not a famous one, it did make enough for the two of them, and some days she let the boys help out. They hurried to finish then headed over to the other house while Inuyasha's mother cleaned up.
Paintings covered the walls of the small home, some were the boys, but most were Kinra's, Sesshomaru's mom. They painted till the sun began to set then Inuyasha went home. His mother was waiting for his to give him a bath before he would go to bed, and the day would start all over again.
*Thud*

Inuyasha was startled out of his memory by a large hard cover book slamming down in front of him. "You maybe be new here but that is no reason to space off during me class." The gruff voice of the oversized teacher sounded in his ear. "In fact that is even more reason to pay attention since you missed the first week of school. Now pay attention or spend the class in the hallway like the other trouble students." She turned to walk back to the front of the class and Inuyasha got up. "Where do you think your going?"
"The hall." He stated plainly and shut the door behind him. 'I hate school.' He leaned up against the door way and fell back into another memory.
.:*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback Starts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*:.
The hard and sickly sound of wood on flesh sounded through the large room as pulled back his hands, they stung and he didn't know why she had struck him. "Why." He asked with pleading eyes as he looked up into the bright red eyes of his teacher.
Kagura sighed. "Because you need to pay attention. I know you haven't ever been to a school before, but you need to focus. I am not here just to teach you to fight but also to improve your mind, now sit up look forwards and listen." She then sat down on a chair in front of him and took out an old book. Inuyasha tried to pay attention but his mind continued to wander off in thought of when he would see his mother again.
.:*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback Ends~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*:.
He slipped down the door and sat on the floor as he mulled over his old memories, how he missed those days.
It didn't take long for the bell signaling the end of the day to come, and for Inuyasha it was like music to his ears, dark and horrid music signaling one boring gray life leading to a nightmare. 'Home' was not a fun place.
It was along walk home but Inuyasha didn't feel like taking the bus. Despite all the years it's been since cars arrived he still preferred to walk where he went. Plus he liked taking in the scenery not that there was much in the middle of Tokyo city, much to his disappointment.
By the time he got to his apartment it was already past five and he knew that Hakudoushi would not be happy. Hakudoushi was sent by Naraku to keep an eye on Inuyasha, though the boy looked about five he was really over three hundred years old. And if what Kagura said was right Hakudoushi was Naraku's son.
"Your late." Came a small monotone voice as Inuyasha steeped through the doorway.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that." He tossed his bag on the ground and slipped off his shoes. "What are you doing here anyways Kanna?" He questioned as he looked down at the small white-haired child, her face completely void of any emotions.
"Hakudoushi needed to go out for a while, I am here to supervise you." She began to walk away into the living area of the apartment. Inuyasha just sighed; it was bad enough just having to deal with Hakudoushi but to have his emotionless girlfriend here as well life was just going to hell. "By the way, Aya has a job tonight so get any homework done quickly, Naraku will contact you soon with the information." He sighed once more and headed into his room.
'This is just great and her I thought he'd wait till I got more accustomed with the area.' He fell back on his bed and closed is eyes. 'Tonight is going to be a long night.' He thought as he fell asleep.
