Inuyasha leaned up against his new Chevy Silverado. He was standing in between his truck and Miroku's jeep. They were waiting for the girls. Sango had told them to be in the school parking lot by 7:35 and that they would meet them there. It was now 7:40 and he was starting to get a little peaved he had to wake up a whole 10 minutes earlier and he was not happy.

"Where the hell are they?" He asked Miroku, who was glancing around the parking lot, no doubt scouting out the girls.

"Who knows, you know how girls are, and from what I hear Kagome likes to make an entrance."

Inuyasha snorted, if she was planning on a late entrance, then why the hell did they have to be there so early.

"So boys ready for our last year." He turned around Kouga and Ayame had just joined their little group.

"Thrilled."

"Oh come on Inuyasha, its our last year." Ayame said with a smile. She was always so bubbly, it got on his nerves.

"Wheres my little sister, you haven't scared her off yet have you?" Kouga asked him.

"I haven't seen her." Inuyasha answered him ignoring his comment, he was to tired to start a fight with Kouga, and he was getting more annoyed by the moment, he wasn't a fan of getting to school early.

"Here they come now!" Ayame squalled, he turned the direction that she was looking to see a lime green Mercedes pull into the parking lot followed by Sango's black Audi. He assumed that the lime car was being driven by Kagome, he had heard that she drove a one of a kind of car, obviously this was it. His assumption was confirmed, when the Mercedes parked on the other side of his truck and he saw Kagome pop out, Sango parked on the other side of her. He watched as she gracefully walked over to their little group. She was carrying a huge bag and an equally huge purse, they looked like were extremely heavy the way she was hunched over. He had to admit she was dressed amazingly sexy, even though everything but her head, hands, and feet were covered. He quickly registered that it was weird to be wearing a sweater in the August heat, but that thought left his mind when he noticed that her shoes were extremely high heels which couldn't be helping out her balance.

"Hey guys."She said as she came to stand by him. She smiled up at him and he couldn't help but smile back. He hated to admit it, but she had been on his mind ever since the party Friday night.

"Your late Ice Queen."

"I was giving you time to scout out possible conquest womanizer." She said and slapped his arm. "Schedule please." She held out her hand expectantly.

"What?"

"Your schedule, Takahashi." She said and opened and closed her finger dramatically.

"Oh." He was to busy being surprised at the fact that when she touched him, he felt something like an electric shock. He dug his schedule out of jeans pocket and placed it in her hand.

"Thanks." She said and unfolded it. He watched her as she squinted her eyes as she studied the paper. He noticed that her raven hair shone in the morning light, and her skin looked amazingly paler than it had the night before, but effect was magnificent. She was absolutely beautiful.

"Well Takahashi, you have all your classes with me, and your locker is right next to mine. " She said and handed him back his schedule and smiled up at him, "hope that's not a disappointment."

"Jackpot man!" Miroku yelled

"Whatever." He answered casually even though he was thrilled, he would get to spend the whole day basically with the little mystery he was now fascinated with.

"Kagome we have 2 minutes." Sango said and he was instantly thrust out of his dream world of spending every hour talking to Kagome. What did she mean two minutes, he glanced at his watch, they had 5 minutes until the first bell rang.

"Perfect, that's enough time, Okay, Ayame and Kouga you will walk behind Miroku and Sango." He watched as they lined up. What the hell were they going to march into the damn building?

"Well Takahashi, seeing as I need a partner and you need a partner, you get to walk in with me." He watched as she moved in front of Sango."Come on Takahashi." She said and he instantly went and stood in front of Miroku. This must be her idea of entrance.

"Kagome, don't you think you should be in the middle of the group." He heard Kouga ask. He was in the middle of turning his head when he decided it was best not show interest when he heard her reply to Kouga's request.

"No, it's fine! This is how things were done last year and this is how they will be done this year!" He was taken aback by her fierce tone. First off, why would Kouga ask for her to be in the middle and the way he said it sounded worried. Secondly, what did she mean by this is how things were done last year and that they would be done the same way this year? Why would things have to change, could it be because they were all new here except Sango?

"Are you coming Takahashi?" He looked up to see that she was at least two steps in front of him, and he was holding up the group.

"Yeah" he quickly caught up to her and they headed to the entrance of the school. He noticed that many people were staring at them, some waved. Some looked surprised, and some looked pissed. He noticed that people got out of their way fast, especially when they entered the school, people instantly made a path for them. Finally they reached a set of lockers and he saw Kagome stop and start fiddling with one, he stopped too and saw that his locker was indeed right next to hers.

"Well it was a good idea to put you in hi…" She stopped mid sentence frowned and then continued on "that place, really got a reaction don't you think." She said and opened her locker. He wondered why she had stopped, it had almost sounded like she was about to say his and not that. He looked at the way her locked door was decorated. The top half was completely covered in pictures, but their some empty places, but there was still tape there, the rest of the locker was adorned with a mirror.

"Of course there was Kags, it was to be expected."

"Yep."She said absentmindedly and she put the huge bag in the locker and took out a notebook.

"Come on womanizer, we have Government first with Burns, but don't worry he drones on and on and we never have any homework." She said and slammed her locker. He did the same after placing his football bag and backpack in there he mimicked her and only took out a notebook. She began to make way down the hall and he raced to her side.

"Why do you call me a womanizer, I thought we decided that I wasn't one." He asked her, he wasn't planning to ask, it had just slipped out.

"You haven't proven that to me yet, and you called me Ice Queen first remember?" She asked with a smile and opened a door and headed into a small classroom. She walked to the back and took a desk, he took the one right beside her.

" Well you haven't proven to me that your not one yet." He said quoting her with a smile.

"Well then lets prove to each other that were not what we seem deal?" she asked and flipped open her notebook and began doodling.

"Deal."

"So in the same class, great!" he heard a girly squil and he looked up to see Ayame and Kouga join them and take the seats on the other side of Kagome, and they were followed by Sango and Miroku who took the seats by him. His mind though was pacing, he had to prove that Kagome that he wasn't a womanizer. Because he had decided that she would be his next conquest, but he wanted so much than that with her, he cringed when he thought it, but he wanted a relationship with her and he didn't do relationships. He did fucks. He was a womanizer, but that was before his heart was broken by that bitch Kikyo.

Kagome sighed and began doodling in her notebook. She had to admit she had easily placed the idea in peoples heads that she was no longer tied to him, but of course they would wonder who was with her at the front of group, well atleast the people from her school. All she hoped is that she wouldn't encounter any of his friends, no reminders besides the ones in her head. Kouga though had done that already. He was only trying to be protective, but seriously the danger was gone, right? She smiled when the rest of her friends joined them in the class, even though she secretly wished that it was just her and Inuyasha in this class, so she could try to find out more about him. She considered it funny that he called her Ice Queen. Had she really been that bad? Everybody had deserved the punishments she delivered hadn't they? Social was the only weapon she really had, well besides her miko powers, but she wasn't about to bust those out on unsuspecting people. The only people who knew that she was a miko were Sango, Kouga and Ayame and now Miroku. But even those weren't enough to save her that night. She quickly pushed the thought from her mind and turned to talk to Ayame when she saw them enter the room and she instantly froze. A look of fear replaced the smile on her face. They were here, in her class, his best friends who had known what he did to her, had witness some of it, who had never done anything. Now they probably hated her. Muso, Kyokotsu, and Mukotsu all shot her looks of hate and also froze where they stood, obviously taking in who she was sitting by. She wondred if they knew what he had did to her that final night.

"What the matter sis, were they apart of it?" She head Kouga asked and turned to look at him and she watched as he cracked is knuckles. She shook her head, no they weren't a part technically.

"You want me to kick their ass?"

"No, no it okay." She glanced back at them to see they had took some desks at the front of the room. She knew that if they could get close to her they would speak their mind. She was sure that they blamed her for where he was now. Where he belonged. She decided to stay close to her friends all through the day, even Inuyasha. She didn't know him, but she had a sense that he would protect her or at least stand up for. There was something there and she was afraid to admit it. He intrigued her. She wanted to know him, to be his friend and possibly more. Mr. Burns then called attention to the class, but she couldn't focus, her mind was dreaming of Inuyasha and a future she hoped that she could have with him, but severely doubted. Because she was broken and marked.

They were late this morning because it had taken her so long to find something to cover her completely. Her wardrobe was of course now equipped with many longsleves and jeans and tights to fix that problem, but she wanted something spectatcular. After all it was the first day of school and she had to look good. She was sure that her peers knew some of the story but she had to try to show that she was over it. In the end she had decided on a long sleeved navy blue thing sweater with a white lacey tanktop underneath, a pair of tight skinny jeans and pair of navy round toed suede heels. She looked pretty she knew, but didn't feel pretty, that was heard when your body looked the way hers did. It made her smile though and she was surprised when Inuyasha had mentioned that she was late. Not many people had the balls to stand up to her like that. That also piqued her interest in him. But she could only dream, because if he knew the truth she knew he would never want her.
