Author's Note: Here is Chapter One. Although it is a bit plain and boring, I still need an introduction before Kagome and Souta attend their classes.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters.

CHAPTER 1
"Phew! Finally. This is the last carton I have. I've to check on Souta," Kagome put down the last carton in the right side of her dormitory, and swiped her perspiration that was rolling down the side of her face.
Who would be my roommate? Kagome wondered as she closed the door which creek silently. Oh well. Just hope my roommate will not be the one who snores while he or she's asleep. Kagome let out a laugh but covered her mouth as the thought came to her mind.
Kagome descended the stairs to Souta's dormitory. When she reached to her brother's dormitory, Kagome noticed the door was left ajar and there were noises inside the room. Kagome pushed the door and right in front of her were two boys playing pillow fights.
"Hmm, Souta?" Kagome put her head in and the two boys stopped hitting each other. There were feathers flying everywhere.
"Yes, sis?" Souta turned his head and climbed down the bed. "Want to play with us?" Souta handed his sister a pillow but Kagome pushed it aside.
"Souta, have you finished packing?" Kagome put her hands on her waist.
"Well, I…" Souta was saying.
"Haven't" Kagome finished his sentence and looked around the messy room. "When would you not learn to watch your health?" Souta lowered his head and did not reply.
"I'm so sorry that my brother had wasted your time," Kagome bowed apologetically to her brother's roommate.
"But I was the one who wanted Souta to play with me when he arrived," the roommate answered. Kagome was lost of words.
There was a long pause but Kagome broke it.
"Well, better finish packing. We have to assemble at the principal's office by 8am for a short briefing and class starts at 8.45am," Kagome looked at the clock, which hung on her brother's dormitory. It showed Kagome that it was 7.50am.
Kagome left the dormitory so the boys would have their own space.
"Your sister is really the indiscriminate type," Kagome heard Souta's roommate saying but did not pursue about it.
When Kagome entered her dormitory, a girl with long dark hair, which was drawn back and tied at the back of the head, was crouching around her luggage. From where Kagome viewed, the girl seemed to be finding something.
"Are you finding something?"
"No."
"Then what are you doing?"
"I'm packing my stuff."
"Oh…"
The girl stood up and face Kagome with a questioning look on her face.
"Hi! My name is Kagome and I stay in this dormitory," Kagome introduced herself.
"Me too. My name is Sango. I'm in the 2nd year of High School, Class A," Sango said happily. "How about you?"
"Same as me, and that means we are classmates," Kagome said excitedly. 'And roommates?"
"Yeah. Nice to meet you," Sango pulled out her hand and shook Kagome's hand roughly.
"You are certainly rough," Kagome withdrew her hand quickly.
"Don't you know everyone called me 'the roughest girl in Fuuka High School'," Sango said proudly.
Kagome shook her head in reply.
"I'm a transferred student," Kagome explained. "And speaking of which, I think I'm going to be late. See you later in class."
Kagome rushed out of her dormitory, before Sango could even question her, and to Souta's dormitory. When she knew Souta was already at the principal's office, Kagome bolt out of her brother's dormitory like a lightning to the principal's office.
I just wish I wouldn't be late. Kagome reached the principal's office, panting. She straightened her uniform and walked in.
When her foot stepped into the principal's office, the sight of it captivated her.
Wow! What a spacious office, Kagome thought.
The first thing Kagome saw was the principal, sitting on the far side of a dark wooden desk, smiling warmly at her and beckoning her to sit beside her brother.
"I'm sorry for being late," Kagome said and sat beside her brother.
"Who said to assemble at the principal's office by 8am?" Souta whispered.
"Quiet or else the principal will overheard us," Kagome whispered back.
"Welcome to Fuuka High School. I'm your principal, Mrs Kaede." The principal announced. I think you have already been to your dormitory and meet your roommates. I hope you would adapt to the school's surroundings and lived happily with the students."
"Thank you, Mrs Kaede," both Kagome and Souta replied.
"Now, do both of you know your class?" Mrs Kaede confirmed.
"Yes." The siblings answered.
"Alright. You are allowed to leave and make sure you will report to your subject teacher on time and not be late," Mrs Kaede hinted.
Kagome bit her lips in embarrassment as they left the principal's office. Outside the office, Kagome sighed.
"Luckily that was a close shave," Kagome muttered under her breath.
"So… feeling lucky? It's a good thing that Mrs Kaede never scold you," Souta asked.
"Remember what Mrs Kaede told us to be on time," Kagome said, changing the subject. "Better hurry."
Both of them ran to their dormitory to prepare to go for their lessons, even though it was only 8.07 in the morning.
