-Friday; 7:30-

Kagome walked slowly to school. She couldn't wait for school to be over. Inuyasha was so cool and she liked to be around him. Maybe he was kind of cold to other people, but she could understand that. She really wanted to show him that people weren't all the same. She REALLY liked him and wanted him to enjoy his life. She looked up ahead and saw Inuyasha sitting at the base of their favorite tree.

"Inuyasha?" He really didn't look happy. "What's the matter?" She sat down next to him and he shrank away from her. "I'm not going to hurt you." She reassured him. She gently picked up his hand and intertwined their fingers. "See? Now, what happened?" He shook his head, eyes wide. He pulled his hand away and crossed his arms.

"Go away." He said coldly. He looked away from her. He really wanted her company but he was becoming too attached to her in such a short time. He didn't want her to become close to him. Miroku was the only one who knew about him and his time.

"Inuyasha, please tell me what's wrong?" Kagome pleaded. Her eyes began to cloud with tears. "Please.." He looked over at her in horror.

"Don't cry!" He said frantically. He just couldn't be cold to someone who wasn't afraid to show him kindness, especially Kagome. "I'm sorry, it's just that there's an event coming up tonight and I really don't want to be.. cold to you. It's an old memory." He tried to shorten it up without giving anything away.

"But, you'll feel better if you tell me what's wrong." She assured him intertwining their fingers together again. "I promise that I won't say a word to anyone if you don't want me to." Inuyasha was sort of relieved at that.

"It really isn't a memory. It's more of the fact that something happens at a certain time." He said trying to hold the true reason for his coldness back. "You'll find out tonight." She nodded and smiled at the hanyou. Suddenly a gasp came from the other side of them. They both looked over, startled.

"K-Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked shrinking back towards Kagome. "What are you doing back so early?" Kagome did her best to not scowl at the girl.

"I wanted to come back. What are you doing to my Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked scowling at Kagome. Kagome knew that it was a challenge. She scowled back as an acceptence.

"Nothing." She snapped as Inuyasha looked between the girls. Kagome was a lot nicer and looked at him as a friend. Kikyo was serious and possessive and looked at him as a thing that had no soul and wasn't living. He'd rather Kagome.

"Then get your filthy hands off of him!" The girl shouted at his friend. Inuyasha scowled at her.

"Leave her alone! She's my friend." Inuyasha said, protecting Kagome from a fight with Kikyo. The look on Kikyo's face could've melted an iceburg the size of the Titanic.

"Your friend?" She asked, her expression turning sour. "Remember what I told you about having friends? People reject you, you don't need friends." Inuyasha glared at the girl.

"Kagome treats me better than you do. There isn't anything wrong with having a friend!" He said just as the bell rang, signaling that it was time to get to class.

-Homeroom-

Kagome was steaming. She hated Kikyo even more than Kouga. She stormed into the room with a sour expression on her face. Kouga stopped her and smirked.

"What's the matter, Kagome? Did the mutt hurt your feelings?" He asked and she gave him a sour glare.

"None of your business!" She hissed walking towards her seat. "I hate that girl so much!" She kept on whispering curses at Kikyo until Inuyasha came in.

"What's the matter Kagome? What happened?" Ami asked shooing more boys away from herself. "Was it Kouga?" Kagome shook her head.

"Well who was it?" Haruki asked looking around the room. "Ayame?" Kagome shook her head again. "Who?" She asked and Inuyasha gave her a look.

"You don't want to even mention the name." He said pointing to the door. There stood Kikyo, 'Queen of rats', as Haruki called her.

"Her? What'd she do?" Ami asked as Sesshoumaru walked in. He didn't even look at them, he just walked right to his desk. Ami blushed a little and glanced at Kagome. She offered the girl a small smile.

"She only reminded Inuyasha of how he gets rejected! That-" Kagome started grumbling not nice words about her. 'Stupid bitch' was one of them that they caught. "She is so mental." Kagome snarled at her when she walked by. Kikyo made sure she gave Kagome a look that would shatter a mirror.

"It seems as though we have ourselves some competition going." Miroku said smiling at Sango. "I never thought that this would happen." She smiled and nodded.

"Kagome, just ignore her. She's even worse than Sess. when he's in his worst mood. That is as bad as it gets." She said looking over at the twin of Inuyasha.

"No one is that bad." Inuyasha said shaking his head. "I've seen his worst and live to tell about it. Not many do." Haruki gave a whistle and raised her eyebrows.

"I don't want to see his worst." She said giving Kagome a sympathetic look. "I might not live to see my grand-children... I might not even have grand- children!" Her eyes grew wide. "My brother is too hopeless to have kids and if I'm gonna die.." She trailed off going into her own daydream about being six feet under with the worms. She shivered and turned back to the conversation.

"Calm down Haruki. I'm sure you're not going to die any day soon." Kagome said shaking her head.

"Aww.. too bad." Said a very familiar squeaky voice. "I was hoping to throw confetti at your funeral, Haruki. But I'd much rather throw it at Kagome's." Kagome growled lowly.

"Go the hell away, Ayame. I'm warning you for the last and *final* time. Go away." The young miko hissed venomously.

"Why should I? You yelled at my Kouga!" The girl scowled. Kagome smirked.

"Oh! So now he's your Kouga? Since when? I thought he just ignored you." She said, her smirk growing as Ayame stomped off steaming. The teacher came in and everyone got in their seats and quieted.

-Lunch-

Kikyo was, as usual, bugging Inuyasha to sit with her. He shook his head and sat down next to Kagome. Kagome, however, was growling at Kikyo every second the girl stood in hearing distance. Ami shook her head at Kagome.

"You shouldn't use language like that Kagome." The pale, quiet girl said smiling at her friend. "It isn't good to teach such little girls such bad language." Haruki grinned.

"Ami's right, you know. Kikyo might go around repeating those bad, bad words." She said looking to Sango.

"I agree." She said winking at Kagome. Kikyo growled and sneered. She walked over to another table and sat down with some other girls.

"I hope you're ready for a fight, Kagome. Kikyo doesn't give up that easily." Inuyasha said looking worriedly at Kagome. "And the more you make her mad, the more violent she can get." Kagome looked up at him and smirked.

"I'm ready for anything. No one, I repeat, no one reminds my friends that they were once rejected and gets away with it!" She said and her friends looked at eachother.

"The last time we had this problem, Kagome took care of it." Haruki said smiling. "She was brave." Ami nodded and looked over at Kikyo.

"There's something not right about her though." The girl said and Haruki's smile faded. Miroku looked over at Kikyo.

"Ami's right. She acts too weird." Sango said looking down. "I really can't stand her. She must have constant PMS." The girls stifled their giggles as Kikyo got up and walked by.

"Directed towards us." Haruki said releasing her giggles. "I swear, she could make a lion run away in fear." Ami blushed when she felt someone's gaze on her. Sesshoumaru had noticed her.

"Don't look now, but I think Sess. finally noticed our friend." Miroku said smirking. "He looks like he likes the veiw." Sango elbowed him and growled incoherant words in his ear. Kagome smiled at the two and shook her head.

"You two need help." Haruki said to Miroku and Sango. Sango immediately stopped and sat straight up, blushing. "Serious help."

"Ami!" Kagome whispered to her friend, signaling Haruki to elbow her. "Don't just sit there! He'll know you know he's looking! Act normal." Ami's blush disappeared and she smiled a 'thank you' at Kagome.

"But- I couldn't help it." She said biting her lip. "I really don't want to get up." Inuyasha shook his head.

"You really don't know what you have a crush on do you?" He asked giving her a half-smile. "He's one person that doesn't like attention. Unless he's fighting someone or something."

"Kagome!" A voice squealed. They all looked over and saw two people standing near their table. A very familiar male grinned at her, green eyes glinting.

"Shippou!" Sango cried grinning back. "Sit here!" Kagome nodded and the two pulled two empty chairs over. Shippou sat down next to Kagome and the girl next to him. "Who's this, Shippou?" She asked smiling at the girl.

"This is my new friend, Rin." He said and the girl, Rin, blushed.

"Hello Rin!" Kagome said smiling warmly at the girl. "My name's Kagome."

"My name's Inuyasha." Rin looked up at him with wide eyes.

"You look oddly familiar." A deep voice behind her said. Rin turned around and gave Sesshoumaru a warm smile.

"Sesshoumaru! I didn't know you go to this school!" She said excitedly. Sesshoumaru smirked and nodded. His icy golden gaze switched to Ami. He gave her a small, not even concidered, smile. Ami looked down and blushed a deep crimson color.

-After school-

"Welcome to the gang, Rin!" Kagome said smiling at the girl. Rin returned the smile and turned back to Shippou. "And welcome back Shippou!"

"Yeah, where'd you go?" Haruki asked tugging on his sleeve. "And why'd you leave us?"

"I had to go on vacation for a while." He said grinning. "After all, everyone needs a break from Inuyasha." Shippou got a whack in the head for that one.

"I went light on ya because I missed ya." Inuyasha said giving him a smirk. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and gave him a wink.

"See you guys later!" She said waving good-bye as she ran towards the shrine.

"I think you love Kagome, Inuyasha!" Shippou teased. Inuyasha was too deep in thought to give him a whack. How was he going to go over to Kagome's when.. tonight was a new moon. He just walked to his tree and jumped up, leaving them all down there in thought. "He definately does."

-7:00 PM; Higurashi Shrine-

Inuyasha knocked on the door and blushed a crimson color. He was never at a girl's house before. He shifted his weight nervously. The door opened and Kagome's eyes widened.

"Inuyasha?" She asked in shock. A boy with long black hair and deep brown eyes stared back at her. He nodded.

"I told you. Something happens at a certain time! I become full human on a new moon.." He explained as she opened the door and smiled.

"Come on in and we'll begin." She said as he nervously walked through the door.
