O.k. just as a little warning there is going to be huge time jumps in the next few chapters but once I get to their junior year of high school it will slow down hopefully. Now one with the disclaimer (do I have to?)

Disclaimer: if anyone thinks I own Inu Yasha raise your hand. (One person raises their hand). You do. O.k. Fluffy eat 'em! (Person dies at paws of a white dog) good boy. Anyone else? (Crowd trembles) Good on with the story!

Last time: "Ugh they're popular and they think they own the world. Bad mix." Sango groaned. (They're in their freshmen year.) "Let's go Kags." Sango grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her out of the room just as the bell rang. They crossed the school and pushed their way into the girls' locker room. They quickly changed and joined Ayame for stretching.

Now: 5 minutes afterwards Kouga, Miroku, and an inu hanyou who Kagome guessed was Inu Yasha joined them.

"Hey guys. What's new?" Ayame greeted them while Sango and Kagome started edging away from Miroku and his "cursed" hands.

"Not much." Kouga muttered.

"For you. You don't have Kikyo in most of your classes." The inu hanyou ground out. "You new wench?" He asked noticing Kagome for the first time.

"I've got a name and it's Kagome so use it." Kagome snarled at him.

"Why don't you try to make me." He growled back.

"Now now. Let's try not to argue. We should be happy for the good things in life." Miroku said soothingly trying to stop the oncoming fight.

"Like what?" Sango snapped at Miroku knowing what his answer would most likely be.

"Family, friends, and most importantly pretty girls." He sighed dreamily at the last idea. His comment got him three large bumps on the head from the girls.

"Spare us Houshi. We don't need your lecherous comments." Inu Yasha snapped also whacking him upside the head. The teacher walked in right afterwards and looked suspiciously at the group before facing the class.

"O.k. chitlins. Listen up. I'm Kagai. Not Mr. Kagai or Coach Kagai. Just Kagai. I'll be your gym teacher for the rest of the year unless something happens. Today we will start our weeklong volleyball tournament so get in teams of six.

"Easy enough. We're already in a group of six so we don't have to move." Miroku said as his hands drifted towards Sango.

"Pervert!"

Slap

"Miss Taijiya don not injure your teammates." Kagai scolded.

10 minutes later

"Great. Just our luck. We happen to be playing against the team that hates us the most." Sango growled under her breath. The opposing team's players consisted of Kikyo, Naraku, and Kagura. The other three players Miroku introduced as Hiten, Yura, and Ryuukotsusei (sp?)

"This is going to be one hell of a game." Kouga stated. Needless to say the game turned into a war game for both teams. The score was 21-20 with Kagome's team in the lead when the bell rang. All the students rushed to get changed and raced to the cafeteria.

"Lunchtime!" Sango exclaimed as she to rushed out of the locker room. "One whole hour of freedom and only two more hours till school ends afterwards." Ayame dragged Kagome away from Sango and warned "You might want to stay away from hr until she gets her lunch. She gets really mad when people keep her away from food." The gang walked through a pair of doors and groaned when they saw the lines for food.

"Ugh. This is going to take forever." Sango cried before she slapped Miroku. "Keep your hands away from me lech."

"But I haven't done anything." Miroku whined.

"You were planning to. I've known you for forever. That look always means you're going to try something perverted." Sango snapped as the girls entered the shortest line. Inu Yasha and Kouga dragged Miroku off to another line for some reason. After minutes of waiting the girls had managed to get their food without having Sango kill anyone. Kagome saw the boys still waiting and smirked. As she followed Ayame to a nearby table she noticed Inu Yasha was fighting with another silver haired inu youkai. About 3 minutes later the boys joined them with the other inu youkai in tow. He and Inu Yasha were still arguing over something.

"What are you two arguing about now?" Sango asked exasperated. In return she got two glares. "All right don't bite me head." She muttered before turning to Kagome and introducing the inu youkai to her.

"Kagome this is Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru Kagome's new here. She just moved to Tokyo from Kyoto. Sesshomaru's a freshman as well Kagome. He's also Inu Yasha's half-brother." Sango explained. Sesshomaru acknowledged Kagome by nodding to her. "So now that you've met the gang what do you want to know about this crazy school?" Sango inquired. The subject shifted and things were explained to Kagome. When the warning bell rang they dumped their trays of food in the trash and Kagome left feeling contented with her choice of new friends.

End of the school year

"Hey Kags." Ayame bounced over to Kagome who had just strolled onto the school's grounds. Kagome lifted her head and Ayame saw tears just waiting to break out in her eyes.

"Oh. Hey Ayame." Kagome greeted her dejectedly.

"Kagome? What's wrong?" Ayame asked worried. Kagome broke down sobbing.

"I-I have t-to m-move ag-again." Kagome cried into Ayame's shoulder. Sango, who had come up behind Kagome just in time to hear her statement, gasped.

"What! But why? You just moved here in the beginning of the year." She exclaimed. "Why would you have to move again so soon?

"My mom's company transferred her to America." Kagome explained.

"Well this sucks. We lose one of our best friends when we haven't even known her for a full year. When do you move?" Ayame asked crying as well."

"Tomorrow. I have to return my books today." Kagome responded. Sango started weeping as well. 10 minutes later the boys sauntered up to them only to stop at the sight of them crying.

"Dear ladies. Whatever is the matter?" Miroku found his voice first.

"Kagome has to move again." Sango cried as she threw herself on Miroku. Inu Yasha, Kouga, and Sesshomaru froze at her comment.

"Why in seven hells would you have to move after you just got settled in?" Inu Yasha demanded.

"It's my mom's stupid job. Believe me if I had my choice I wouldn't even considered moving so don't make me feel worse about this!" Kagome burst out. Kouga and Miroku were trying to comfort Ayame and Sango while Sesshomaru was just standing there with a hint of pity in his eyes. Sure he hadn't known her for long but he still thought of Kagome as his little sister.

"Well I'm sure we'll see each other again." Inu Yasha tried to comfort Kagome.

"That's just it. I'm moving to America. That's halfway around the world. Most chances are that we won't see each other again." Kagome bawled.

"Well if that's the case we'll just make sure you have the best day ever." Inu Yasha promised.
