Chapter 2—the new guy

Kagome continued to cry in the hall as her heavy heaves began getting a little slower.

Because she was crying she didn't hear the person who began to approach. He took out a handkerchief and offered it to her, who was still oblivious to the presence of other human life. He coughed to try and get her attention.

Kagome looked up slightly to see a pair of legs in front of her. She blushed and then stood up so suddenly that she knocked the handkerchief out of his hand.

She blushed, "Sorry!" she said with a slight whimper as she bent down and picked up the handkerchief. "Hic".

"It's all right", he said as she handed him his handkerchief. It was the first time she had seen him.

'He must be new' she thought, starring into his eyes. 'His eyes are so beautiful' a blush crept over her face when she realized she was starring.

He had long silver hair and golden, orbes of concern and pain. He was wearing black baggy pants with a few chains hanging on them, with a red shirt and black dripping words that said 'Bloody Kiss' on it. He also wore big black military boots. On his face he had a slightly friendly smile, with a piecing on his lip on the right side and a piercing in his right eyebrow. A chain was attached from one piercing to the next. He was a head taller then her and had two…'dog ears?' 'They were so.. Cute!' she thought to herself.

Kagome was staring at him as if she were in a trance that was finally broken by the sound of his angelic voice that pierced her ears.

"Um, excuse me. Are you alright?" he asked slowly while he stared at her and passed her the handkerchief.

"Hai. Arigato." She said taking the handkerchief and dabbing her eyes as her blush deepened from the hanyou's piercing gaze.

"That's good!" he said with slight relief in his voice. "So, is it true?" he asked her.

She looked up "Is what true?", she squeaked.

"What that girl said," he paused, "about your little brother being dead?" he finished uneasily.

Kagome stiffened, then looked up into his eyes, "Yes, its true" she responded weakly, pain staining her words, as she looked down at the floor.

"Sorry!" he said quickly, with a hint of sorrow in his voice, which surprised Kagome. "Um, so I'm new and was trying to find the office, that is until I saw your little 'fight' with that girl. Could you help me find it? The office that is" he asked, quickly trying to change the subject.

"I'll take you there." She said, starting to walk, but then stopped and turned to him, "What's your name?' she asked with a smile.

Inu-yasha blushed slightly, "Oh, sorry. I'm Inu-yasha Takahashi." He grunted then looked away trying to hide the blush.

Inu-yasha's POV.

This girl began to lead me to the office. 'She is defiantly the most interesting girl I have ever seen. She is defiantly like no other person in this school.' He thought. 'Everyone was a slut, prep, jock, or punk. But she is truly unique. She stands out from the rest' he thought while grinning at her as he checked her out from behind, 'She's hot, and she has a nice ass!'

Normal POV.

"Well, Inu-yasha. Welcome to the office." She said with a slight grin.

"Arigato, um, what is your name?" he asked as he turned to her from the office doorway.

"Kagome Higurashi, number one freak and loner this school has ever seen." She said with a slight laugh and a smile on her lips that Inu-yasha didn't quite understand.

Inu-yasha was confused at why she would be a freak and a loner at all, she seemed pretty nice. "Why are you a freak and a loner?" He asked very perplexed at her words.

Kagome smiled a bit more at him to show that she was all right with it, "I'm different and have had to much shit happen in my life, no one can handle being near me because I guess I'm to depressing?."

Inu-yasha saw right thru that smile and saw pain, sorrow and suffering, "Feh!" was all he could come up with.

Kagome turned to go to class when Inu-yasha spoke up.

"Hey wench, could yah wait a second for me?" Asked Inu-yasha, with a slight glare.

Kagome was taken back. 'Did he just call me wench?" she thought, slightly sad. "Not if you're going to call me a wench!" she snapped.

Inu-yasha's only response being the ever so wonderful 'feh'.

Kagome walked to her second period class, since it took her a long such a long time to calm down then help the hanyou she missed first period and was a little late for second.

When Kagome walked into Art class, her teacher, Mr. Kuno, was glaring at her for being late. Kagome just ignored him because she knew what was coming, and she continued to walk to her seat, which was located in the back corner by the window. She was the only one who sat in that corner, because people were too afraid that what ever Kagome had would rub off on them.

"Kagome why are you late?" demanded Mr. Kuno.

Everyone just stared at Kagome, waiting for her to respond.

Kagome just stared out the window ignoring everyone, for she knew what was to come, it happened no matter what; if she made a mistake on an assignment, if the teacher just hated what she drew, anything. Mr. Kuno hated her for making a fool of him last year when she had corrected something he said in an assembly.

'Here it comes' Kagome thought while letting out a long sigh.

"So Miss Higurashi" began Mr. Kuno, with a smug look on his face "I heard the rumours going around the school about you, and your brother." He finished with a large evil grin plastered upon his face.

Kagome had attempted to ignore him, but having a hard time. 'Why does everyone have to bring up my family!' she screamed in her head.

"What's wrong? Are you going to cry?" he sneered while walking toward her, when he reached her desk he bent down and wispered "I'll get you later, bitch!"

Kagome was now shaking with fear and rage as Mr. Kuno walked to the front of the class.

The door burst open and Inu-yasha walked in and stormed over to Kagome and stopped in front of her. He was about to yell at her for leaving him to find the classroom by himself, but stopped when he smelt tears. He looked at Kagome and her head was bent down so only her mouth was visible and she was shaking, and then he saw it. She had tears silently flowing down her face and gracefully land on the palms of her hands, which he had noticed were still bleeding.

"Excuse me young man. Who are you?" asked Mr. Kuno from the front of the class with anger dripping into every word.

Inu-yasha turned to face the voice "Inu-yasha Takahashi's the name and I'm the new kid!" he spat at the teacher giving him a death glare that made Mr. Kuno shut up instantly.

All the girls in the class were whispering about how cute he was, when an irritating high pitch voice spoke up.

"Inu-yasha was it?" Kikyo asked with a seductive smile as she approached him.

Inu-yasha shot her a death glare, because he had remembered the terrible things she had said to Kagome earlier, and because he thought her to be fake and gross with the make-up plastering her face. Her perfume was such an unnatural odour that he crinkled his nose in disgust and nearly gagged as she came closer.

Kikyo was surprised, but kept trying, "Why don't you come and sit with me?" she said even more seductively as she wrapped her arms around Inu-yasha.

Inu-yasha burst out laughing, "Come and sit with you? I can barely stand the sight of you let alone the awful stench you give off. Sorry but fake people don't interest me, I think I'll just sit with Kagome" he chuckled at her expression and then pushed away from him.

Everyone was starring at him. No guy has ever turned Kikyo down before, and what's more he turned her down for Kagome, the person that most people avoided because she was to weird and scary to be near.

Inu-yasha turned his attention back to Kagome then took her hands in his and examined them. Kagome blushed while they were still being watched.

Kagome's POV

'What is going on?' she thought 'Why is he sitting beside me? I can't believe he turned down Kikyo' she thought as the now seated Kikyo looking very pissed off. 'Oh my goodness!' Kagome began to blush as Inu-yasha was now examining her hands. 'What's he doing? Why?'

Normal POV

"Excuse me!" yelled Mr. Kuno trying to get everyone's attention. "We will be drawing our partner's faces today, so get out your drawing books and BEGIN!" grumbled Mr. Kuno, who was now in an even worse mood then before.

"Kagome are you all right?" Inu-yasha asked her trying to hide the concern in his voice.

'Why do I care so much anyway! I don't even know her; though it is obvious she needs to be protected. It seems I might have to be the one to do so.' Inu-yasha thought as he released her hands, and pulled out of his bag a pack of bandages, and began wrapping up her hands.

Kagome was stunned at Inu-yasha's actions. The only one who has treated her kindly since her father's death, besides her mother, was this perfect stranger right in front of her?

30 minutes later

The bell then rang and it was time for lunch. Kagome had gone to her usual spot under the cherry blossom tree on a high hill beside the football field.

Kagome sat there for half the lunch by herself just enjoying the silence, that is until it was broken by the amazing scream heard everyday by the same person "HENTI!"

Kagome then giggled ever so lightly, until she heard someone approching.

"What's so funny?" asked Inu-yasha, with a grin.

"Did you not hear Sango?" asked Kagome shocked.

"Do you mean the girl who screamed 'henti!'"? Inu-yasha finished screaming in a girly voice, attempting to imitate Sango, causing Kagome to laugh.

"Yes, but she isn't girly at all and if she caught you mocking her your ass would be grass!" Kagome finished the sentence with a little laugh then threw grass at Inu-yasha.

They sat there enjoying the peace and fresh air for a bit, until Kagome decided to speak.

She looked over at Inu-yasha and he caught her eyes with his own.

"Why are you here right now? I mean with me." Kagome asked, with a questionable look on her face.

Inu-yasha didn't respond at first, but just admired Kagome and her gorgeous hair shining as it flowed so freely in the spring breeze. Inu-yasha reached forward and caught a stand of her hair then tucked it behind her ear causing Kagome to blush. He thought how peaceful she looked right then and how beautiful she looked when she blushes. 'She just so gorgeous, wait what am I saying? What was I doing?' he asked himself turning his away from her so she would not see him blush.

"Um,' she cleared her throat, 'So you're not going to tell me?" she asked a little disappointed that he had turned away and had not answered her.

"No" he said slowly, "It's not that. It's just that" he let out a sigh.

"What?" Kagome asked encouraging him to continue.

"Well" he began; "There is just something about y-" he was cut off by a scream then a 'thud'.

Sango came running over to the cherry blossom tree they were sitting under.

"Hello! I'm Sango and you must be the famous Inu-yasha?" she panted, holding her hand out to Inu-yasha.

"Inu-yasha Takahashi" he said shaking her hand a little surprised by her sudden appearance.

Sango was wearing baggy khaki caprices with a black tank top and boots. She was wearing black eyeliner and strawberry lip-gloss. Her hair was up in a messy bun and she was wearing a black trench coat.

"I just wanted to meet the new kid in school that everyone is talking about!" she said excitedly with a wide grin across her face.

"Why is everyone talking about me?" he asked extremely confused.

"What do you mean why?!" she shrieked causing Inu-yasha's ears to fold down attempting to block the sound.

"Because you rejected the school slut, Miss High and Mighty herself, Kikyo" said a male voice from behind Sango.

The guy had baggy pants and a purple T-shirt that said 'schizophrenic' in black letters that clung to his chest and skater shoes that were deep blue. He had short, brown hair pulled into a short ponytail and light brown eyes.

"This is Miroku" Sango said with a dull tone and an expression that Inu-yasha didn't quite understand.

Inu-yasha and Kagome laughed at this.

Sango went and sat by Kagome and started talking to her, as Miroku went and sat by Inu-yasha where they both started eating lunch.

"Kagome, right?" asked Sango, in a friendly tone and a smile.

"Yah." She said with a smile.

"I'm Sango! Pleased to actually meet you" she said with still her warm smile.

"Pleased to meet you to, but why talk to me now all of a sudden?" Kagome asked a little confused.

"Well, to be honest I'm on the basket ball team and barely have anytime for myself, and also because I was kind of scared of you. Sorry. It was even scarier after I started to hear" she let out a sigh "the rumours" she finished.

"What do people say about me?" she asked dully.

"Well" Sango began a little unsure as if she should say. "The rumours about your family members deaths." She finished uneasily.

Kagome brought her knees up to her chest, "Is that really what everyone talks about? Most of my family died. It's just my mom and me now. That's it" she said putting her head down.

"That's not what makes people uneasy" Kagome looked up at Sango, "I mean lots of people have lost loved ones, but what makes the rumours so intense at our school is the fact that whoever started the latest rumour about how your brother died says that the person who did it is after you, that's why everyone is scar-" Sango suddenly stopped talking. Kagome was rocking back and forth making a hissing sound and looking like she was in a trance.
