Mr. Satome just stared as she went up the stairs astonished at how calm she was

And Kagome thought to herself 'I guess I'll let what happens happen if we fall in love can't help that. And maybe I can get over Inuyasha. Its been quite awhile since I've seen ranma I wonder how much he changed over the years if at all.'

So they were walking back to the dojo Mr. Satome carrying her backpack (since he insisted) and they talked the whole way to the dojo, in which Mr. Satome lived with the Tendo's.

Mr. Satome found that he liked Kagome, cheerful, gentle, kind, caring, considerate, strong willed, compassionate, selfless, understanding, Just a roundabout good person.

He found out she has fast reflexes (he doesn't know why [its because she needs them XD]) and had perfect marksman ship when it came to a bow.

he saw she was wearing a gold ring on her ring finger and wondered why it was there.

They made it to the dojo.

"I'm home" Mr. Satome called out

And the one there to greet them was Hopposi "Genma I…" he forgot what he was going to say when he saw Kagome and he immediately launched himself at her chest she was able to dodge that one easily since that's where things are usually aimed but they're usually aimed there for different reasons than Hopposi's. (Have to have good reflexes in life or death situations [and when she and Ranma were little and friends she practiced with him and being around made her fall back in to routine slightly])

Hopposi flew past her and she zapped him (unintentionally) on his way straight into a wall. "ugh…"

Mr. S just stared at Kagome dumb struck 'I did bring her here to exorcise the master but I never thought it would actually work'

And Kagome just mumbled something to herself that sounded an awful like 'isn't he human?'

'must be due to the masters extreme evil' Mr. S thought to himself.

"Ah, master, where's the boy" Mr. S asked

"He left to the store why'd you ask?"

"Oh that reminds me I've got to get a few things for my stay here."Kagome announced snapped out of her somewhat surprised trance.

"Maybe I'll be able to meet him on the way. This gives me a good chance to jog." She decided she was still pissed at Inuyasha for what he said and it doesn't help that now of all times out of the blue she has a fiancé She dropped her big yellow bag on the floor and turned around heading out the door and called "see you soon."

Kagome jogged trying to get rid of her anger but no matter how calm she acted about the whole fiancé thing it didn't mean she wasn't upset and then there was what Inuyasha had said before she sat him into the bedrock.

She was glaring at the ground so hard and at this point jogging so fast that it was too late when she noticed a boy with his hair in a black pig tail, wearing a red Chinese shirt and a girl in a light blue school uniform with short hair they were only a few feet ahead of her and when she tried to slow down it only made the inevitable all the more awkward as she knocked the boy down with her weight and momentum she landed sideways with her back to his making somewhat of an X looking shape.

"Ow…" she looked over at the boy she accidentally tackled and began apologizing." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sooooo sorry are you alright? I wasn't paying attention to where I was going "

"Hey you new around here? You don't look familiar" Akane inquired

Neither Ranma nor Kagome decided to say that the other looked familiar

"Yeah I just came here out of town to perform an exorcism. "

Both Ranma and Akane's eyes widened "so should I assume you're one of the clergy?" Ranma asked not quite sure how to react to this.

"Yep I'm from Higurashi shrine, I'm a priestess." An Idea popped into Ranma's head "maybe she can lift my curse" he thought as he ignored how familiar the name sounded.

Considering she was new Ranma asked "where're you headed? We ought to help you find your way around here and make sure you're safe, being new to the area and all." Kagome was grateful for their offer.

Akane than said "yeah it's not very safe around here we're surrounded by weirdo's ." she motioned towards Ranma

"Yeah well… at least I'm not some uncute tomboy."

"Oh… beautiful ebony haired maiden…"

Ranma and Akane turned to see none other than Kuno in front of Kagome with her holding roses and he was reciting random poetry and Shakespeare quotes. "speak of the devil…"ranma said noticing a rather dense member of the Kendo club.

"Um sorry to burst your very weird bubble but I'm not this 'ebony haired maiden' and my name isn't Juliet, and I'm sorry I'm already betrothed see." She switched the roses to her right arm and showed him the ring on her left ring finger and he stared at the ring, astonished and angry

he looked over at Akane,( just noticing her) she slightly flinched but he made no move towards her he looked to her left ring finger and saw no ring, and Kuno thought 'come to think of it I've never seen any of Ranma's fiancés with rings, no way she's betrothed to that idiot. But who then.'

He turned away "I will be back for you my love and I will save you from the cretin who has forced your hand so fear not I Tatawaki Kuno also known as 'the blue thunder of furinkan' high will free and protect you my 'onyx haired goddess'"

Kagome just stood there frozen as he walked away "who was that creep?"

"I told you we're surrounded by weirdoes. That was Kuno and including you he's in love with three girls now."

"Wow talk about a cheater… and a freak. So just 'poof' and he's in love with me?"

"Yep... That's about all it takes…"Akane said dully

"That sounds familiar from somewhere" she mused under her and one word popped into her head "Miroku" (A/N: well that's not exactly love)

"Well maybe it won't last long the other two girls he's in love with just beat him up." Ranma said with a bit of amusement in his voice

Akane suddenly asked happily "so you're engaged too?" She said with a huge grin

"Too? What do you mean 'too'?"

"She's just engaged that's nothing new" Ranma said confused and somewhat amused

"Well if she has a ring than he must have proposed to her…"Akane informed "so…?" she asked Kagome

"Well, there was no real proposal"

"It's not an engagement ring? "

She had somewhat of a wry smile on her face "no it's not a real engagement ring, . You know what's funny about this? I only figured out today that I-" Kagome was cut off by a young man who seemed to pop up out of nowhere, with really long black hair, wearing his glasses on top of his head, and he grabbed her around the waist yelling "shampoo!" "huh?" she said surprised

"Umm I'm not shampoo, do I look like a hair care product to you !" Mousse then put his glasses on then said "you're not Shampoo." He said annoyed with her. Now that made Kagome mad. Wasn't he the one who grabbed onto her? "OH, WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CLUE? THE FACT THAT I'M NOT USED TO WASH YOU'RE HAIR, THE FACT THAT I DON'T HAVE A BRAND NAME ON MY FACE OR THE FACT THAT I SAID "I'M NOT SHAMPOO"! You're the one who grabbed me I should be the one upset! Jerk."

Mousse just stood there shocked and a bit intimidated by her glare and even Akane and Ranma he saw that there was death in her eyes and he could have sworn that he was going to need a jacket because her glare was just that cold he decided to take his leave now rather than stay there and tempt fate. So he turned around and ran off yelling "Shampoo!"

"What a freak." Kagome said frankly

"That's not it he's just as blind as they get without his glasses" Ranma corrected

"Geese I've been called at least 4 different names in less than 5 minutes. Hey, I've got a crazy Idea why not call me by my real name, instead of 'onyx haired goddess'" she ranted as she stared at the roses in her hand. "Why not try, Kagome, Kagome Higurashi? " she said in full blast sarcasm.

Ranma lost his balance and nearly fell off the chain link fence "now I remember"
