Just saying, I know Japan has different school days and all, but to make my life easier, I'm making it similar to American school schedules. Though I will keep Golden Week and other Japanese holidays. Also I made up last name for some people. Did you realize none of them have last names but Kagome? Weird. Even in the past people had last names! Also, Shippo is human. Just saying.

Chapter two- Higurashi Kagome

Inuyasha looked at the piece of paper in his hands. It had the schools address on it. He followed it carefully until he saw a sign. "Daigaku no Yama… University of the mountains, or Mountain University (not a real school)." Inuyasha read aloud. He looked behind him. Fujiyama was nearly visible from the school. That was probably why it was named that.

Inuyasha entered the University. It was the second day of school for most of the people there. Since the New York time difference, Inuyasha actually came to Japan on September 1. Today was the 2nd.

He took off his shoes and put on the indoor pair. Then he started to his first class. "Hm…Creative Writing." He said, looking at his program. He looked at the room numbers until her came to his class.

"Welcome! You must be Wiriamusu-san who was absent yesterday." A plump man who was obviously the teacher said. Inuyasha nodded and sat in an empty seat.

The teacher stood, "I'm Butoniru Toru. I'm pleased to meet you Wiriamusu-san."

Inuyasha nodded, "Please call me Inuyasha."

Toru nodded and sat back down. Then he started the lesson.

"Psst!" a guy with black hair whispered. Inuyasha turned.

"Doesn't he sorta look like a pig?" the guy asked. His friend behind him laughed. Inuyasha smirked.

"We call him Butaniku (pork), instead of Butoniru." The friend laughed. Inuyasha just smiled and nodded. He really didn't care.

"Hey, you're from America, right? I mean your last name is Williams." He said Williams perfectly.

Inuyasha nodded, "I lived in America since I was five. I moved here when I found out I once lived in Japan."

The guy nodded, "I've always wanted to go to America. That's why I'm taking English classes."

Inuyasha smile, "You said Williams right. I think your doing a good job."

The guy smiled, "My names Karasuma Miroku. My friend there is Wantanabe Shippo."

Inuyasha looked at Shippo. He was short and had a baby face with greenish-eyes. His hair was orange and cut short. He was like the opposite of Miroku, who was tall and lanky. He had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail and was wearing purple contacts.

"I want you to write a poem for me for homework." Inuyasha heard Butoniru say. He turned back to the front of the room to see him writing it on the board. Inuyasha didn't bother writing it down. He had a collection of poems in a small book he kept in his pocket. It was the only thing he brought with himself from America.

Miroku and Shippo wrote it down and closed their books. "This guy treats us like we're in elementary!" Shippo said, packing up, "I mean, write a poem for homework? It could have been a bit more challenging." The bell rang as the boys swung their bags over their shoulders. "What do you have next?" Miroku asked Inuyasha. "Choir." Miroku laughed, "I see you're into performing arts." Inuyasha nodded. He always had been. It kept him sane when his stepfather was driving him crazy.

"I have gym." Miroku said, starting off. Shippo looked at his program, "It's Japanese history for me." He went in the opposite direction of Miroku. Inuyasha looked at his program and went in the direction Miroku left.

"Here we are…" he said, entering the auditorium. It had 20 people in it walking around to find their place on the stage. Suddenly, Inuyasha heard a faint voice singing. He looked for the source of sound.

It wasn't until he reached the front of the auditorium that he laid his eyes on the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. A woman about his age was sitting by the piano. She was wearing a white shirt with a black skirt. Since it was still a little warm outside, she didn't need stockings. He legs were lovely. Her feet rested daintily in a pair of open-toed shoes. She was holding a sheet and singing as she read. Her voice rivaled the very angels above.

"Oh! Hello." She said, noticing Inuyasha.

He struggled to find the words, "Um…hi."

"Can you sing?" She asked out of the blue.

Inuyasha slightly nodded, "I was told I could, but I think my writing is a lot better."

The woman stood up, "You write music?"

"Not really. I write poems and sometimes used them as lyrics." Inuyasha said blushing.

The woman smiled, "That's lovely. My name is Higurashi Kagome. You are…?"

"Inuyasha."

Kagome looked at him oddly, "No last name?"

"I do have one, but I don't like it much. It's the last name of my American foster parents."

"Whoa, America? What is it?"

Inuyasha looked away, "Williams."

"Wi…Wiriamusu. No wait, Wi…"

Inuyasha turned back to see her trying to say it correctly. It was cute the way she pouted when she said it wrong.

"Will…iamusu. Williams. WILLIAMS! I said it without a hitch!" she said, smiling brightly. Inuyasha blushed deeply.

Suddenly, a woman walked into the auditorium, "Places everyone!" she said strictly, obviously the teacher. Everyone got on stage but Inuyasha. "You must be Wiriamusu." She said in a Kansai dialect. Inuyasha nodded. "I'm Sakuraba Megumi. You stand over there." She pointed to and empty spot on stage.

"Now! I didn't get a chance to get each and everyone of your tones." She said turning back to the class. "Higurashi-san. It was your turn next, was it not?" Kagome nodded and stepped forward. Megumi sat down in a chair, "Please sing what you wish." Kagome nodded again and began:

Motherland (Crystal Kay)

(kimi ga tabidatsu hi wa

itsumo to onaji "jaa ne" to te wo futta

marude ashita mo mata

kono machi de au mitai ni

On the day you go on a journey,

you waved your hand & said "later" like you always do

It seems like we'll meet in this town even tomorrow

ai wo shinjiru no wa jibun ni mo makenai koto

yume ga kanau hi made

egao no mama hoshi o mite inori sasage koko ni iru kara

Believing in love isn't giving up to yourself

Until the day the dream is granted,

I'll be here smiling, looking at the stars, & offering a prayer

watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai

kanashimi made mo tsutsumikonde

itsu demo miageru toki wa

hitori ja nai to

tooku de omoeru you ni

kaeru basho de aru you ni

I want to be in the sky for you

& embrace even your sadness

Whenever I'm looking up, I'm not alone

It seems like I can think from far away

It's like it's a place where I return to

Inuyasha stared in awe as she finished. He saw Sakuraba-san write down Soprano. "I have three more left. Niwa-san and Wiriamusu-san." Inuyasha gulped. He had no idea what he was going to sing.

He watched the guy next to him sing his song. He was okay, but messed up a few times. Sakuraba-san wrote tenor and pointed to Inuyasha. Before he even knew it, he started to sing a song Crystal sung to him as a child:

Though you can't see them well

You know that the stars are out tonight

And even though things may seem bad

There is no reason to feel fright

My love for you burns like the sun

My love is bright like the moon.

My heart's love will heal your scars,

It will never die out, I promise you.

So hush tonight, my little darling

Just look up at the sky

Though it's dark, you know the stars are there

There is no reason why.

There doesn't need to be a reason why.

The whole class was quiet as Inuyasha finished. Though most of them didn't understand what he said, the emotions were conveyed perfectly. Inuyasha blushed when he saw Kagome looking at him. He instead turned to Megumi, who wrote tenor. Then she erased it and wrote between Al. and Ten.

Suddenly the bell rang. The students slowly jumped off the stage and collected their bags. Only Kagome and Inuyasha were left.

"That was beautiful. You have a lovely voice." She said, walking towards him.

Inuyasha blushed a deep shade of red, "Well…I…my mother…um."

Just then, three girls entered the auditorium.

"Hey Kagome!" one of them said. The others nodded and joined Kagome on stage.

"Let's go to Dance already!" the second one said. They pulled Kagome away quickly. None of the girls even acknowledged Inuyasha.

"Why were you talking to him, Kagome?" the first one said.

Kagome pouted, "I can talk to whoever I want, Yuri."

Yuri rolled her eyes, "But he's…so weird? He speaks Japanese with a New York accent."

Kagome looked at her friend in amazement, "That's why I shouldn't talk to him? That's so childish, Yuri!"

The second friend stepped in, "But he's from New York. It's easy to be raped or shot there!"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "How do even know that, Ayame? He's still living and I doubt he's been raped."

The third one spoke this time, "Ayame meant he'll rape you. Aren't you scared?"

Kagome stopped walking and looked at her friends. " No I'm not, Nayami! I can't believe you guys!" she said, storming past them. They just watched after her, confused.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The final bell finally rung. Inuyasha walked back o his apartment and immediately went to take a bath. Suddenly the phone rang. He wondered who could have gotten his number so quickly. The only people her gave it to were the school staff. They needed it for school stuff.

Inuyasha picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Hello, Williams!" It was Kagome.

"W-what? How did you get this number?!"

"I got it from that school lady." She said it like it made since.

"Why'd you want my number?"

"because…I wanted to get to know you better."

Inuyasha was silent. His heart was pounding wildly.

"Inuyasha-kun? Are you there?"

"Yeah…when do you want to meet?"

"Hm…Thursday would be good. That's okay with you?"

Inuyasha nodded. Then, remembering he was on a phone, he said, "Yeah, Thursday."

"Great! See ya then!"

Then she hung up.

Inuyasha slowly hung up the phone. He's only been in Japan for one day and already he has a date. "If things are going to be this way," He said, getting back in the shower, "I may find my family after all."

I know this was shorter than the first chapter, but I typed them both in the same day and I wanted to post them together. It took so much time, that I ended up making this one short. Anyway, R&R.
