１時間目...

The first warm rays of sunlight arrived as it rose up to the hill the Higurashi shrine and home was placed upon. It's warm rays slowly but steady making its way up to a window and peeking on a sleeping girls bedroom, it's light twinkling and dancing on her face.

Kagomes noise cringed before a deep feminine groan escaped her lips. Her hands, which she had taken out from under her belly, raised up and attempted to swat at the sun's rays that dared to enter her room and awaken her from her deep slumber. After a few attempts to swat the sunshine away which was seemingly impossible for her early awaken state. She silently cursed under her breath, let her hands fall ,and rose from her bed which needy called her back once the thick covers were taken away from her slim form. Kagome shivered as the five thirty cold air inside her home, seemed to taken her warm body heat away and replaced it with a cold kiss of air that sent shivers up her spine. She really hated the mornings, especially in April. The air in the morning was freezing to her. Kagome looked sadly back towards her small bed which called for her back as if saying, 'It's too cold right now come back baby.' She smiled at the amusement of role playing that was in her mind.

'Beds can't talk.' Kagome slightly forced herself to adjust to the cold brisk air that covered her body, head to toe. She just had to get ready. After all her best friend, Sango would be coming to pick her up and eat her food for breakfast as usual. It was like a routine that of her best friend's ,since they were just little children and their moms were great friends. That is when they were instant best friends at that moment on and seemed to be going really well from then on. Even though Sango was a slight bit older that she was it didn't matter, they were like peanut butter topped on with jelly served with a cold glass of milk. It just mixed well. Kagome's head then turned and looked to her side to see a tall full figure mirror leaning on the wall. Her dark wavy hair was slightly tangled and her eyes looked as if she had just been crying, slightly tinted with a pink color with a small puff towards it. She then fully turned towards her mirror and raked her slim fingers through her thick hair. Nothing but a slight run through the hair won't fix to her tangled hair as for her eyes she knew they would die down and turn back to their normal white color in a short amount of time. Her fingers slightly got caught a time or two before her hair was knot free and smooth to the touch. Kagome smiled satisfied that her hair today was easy to manage. She then stretched her back making a small quiet bone crake of a sound before there were no more to be heard. As she stretched Kagome looked at her desk's chair and saw her neatly placed clothes she had chosen out from the day before school was going to start. She was always the one to be organized.

In no time she pulled on her skirt, shirt, and high kneed socks along with her brown school shoes on her feet and she was ready to go with time to spear... Even if her shoes weren't 'up' to fashion, Kagome didn't think you had to be uncomfortable to be nicely dressed and she was the one to rather chose comfort than un-comfort. Plus you just had to chose the right clothes to match her shoes. It wasn't that difficult, Kagome thought as she fumbled with the leather buckles. 'And it defiantly beats walking like some penguin around school for the entire year.' Kagome thought as she headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Minty and fresh, She headed downstairs and to her amazement saw her little brother laying on the sofa a play station controller laying forgotten in his hand as the tv was on pause. Kagome glared at his sleeping form before quickly going down the last few steps and marched right up to the tv and pushed the off button for the game he was supposedly playing. Kagome looked down at her little brothers head and couldn't help but poke him hard at his temple. "Sota Higurashi!" Her voice bellowed his full name like their mother causing Sota to jump at the sound.

"Grandpa?" He yawned while he groggily stretched giving Kagome a full view of his elementary school uniform. He was ready at this hour?! "No it's me. Why are you dressed? ...you don't even start school till 8:00!" At her voice Sota's eyes widen as he gave her an uneasy smile. Even if it wasn't their mother, Kagome still seemed to be a second mother like figure towards him.

"Heh, heh... You see... Uhh...I thought it would've been a great idea t-to get ready early so I could play video games..." He mumbled at the end his sentence trying to make it hard for her to try hear him. "Please don't tell mom!" Sota blurted out as he let go of the play station controller and firmly griped the under the sofa cushions looking frantic. Kagome placed both balled up fists at her hips giving the same stance that her mother gives before noticing his bed hair. Her serious face broke down as she let her hands let loose and one cup his cheek while the other try to flatten his hair down from its frizzy state. "I'm guessing you slept good since you got your hair all messed up." Kagome chortled a short lived giggle as she retrieved her hand to lick it and place it in his hair making the standing bed hair go down. Sota gently pushed her away, "Eww! Don't spit on me." He silently laughed. Kagome smiled gleefully at her little brother. "Stop being so dramatic Sota. I could've spit on you if I wanted but I chose not to. Now-." She gave him serious face that meant business. "I won't tell mom, but you gotta promise to never do this again got it."

"Bu-!" Sota stopped himself before mischievously smiling and nodding, "Yeah sure whatever you want sis."

"I mean it Sota. Your clothes are already wrinkled. Promise me." Kagome then smiled at him holding her pinky up and straight. Making a disgruntled sound, Sota dropped his playful smile and and held up his pinky before hooking it with hers rolling his eyes. "Promise" he sighed. He didn't know why she always made him feel guilty if he didn't 'pinky promise' her, but either way he smiled at her knowing he couldn't break it now.

Kagome grinned satisfied he put up with the promise before letting her hand fall from his. "Now go to your room and at least try to straighten out your uniform and get some sleep. You still have at least two hours and thirty minutes left and trust me, you better enjoy it while you still have it." Seeing him get up and swiftly go upstairs out of the vision of her eye she placed herself in his previous seating spot sighing in relief once heat pooled in her skin a tiny bit.

'I hope Inuyasha has the same class with me. Well at least one, that'll be fine too... Oh! And Sango and Miroku. Their always fun when their together.' Kagome grinned to herself at the memory of Miroku 'accidentally' giving a light tap on her rump before he had time to explain, her best friend had already set her back her hand to deliver a full forced smack to his face, leaving a red hot mark on his cheek for the entire day. She sighed happily for the two, now that they had reviled their true feelings to one another over their break. But either way, Kagome knew that the smack on the face days were surely to come now even they were a couple. 'Speaking of Sango...' Kagome lifted up from the sofa and quickly rushed upstairs to grab her phone in her bedroom before running back downstairs and giving the girl a call.

After a few seconds of rings she answered, "Hello?"

"Sango where are you? You should've gotten here by now and eating my food."

Kagome heard Sango snort into the phone making her smile, "Ya know I don't just come over there just to eat. Anyways I'm making a turn right now to your street. Come down, i'll skip breakfast."

"Wow. I guess there is a first for everything." Kagome joked around with her.

"Shut up and get out of the house."

She laughed into the phone before tapping the end button on her phone. At times Kagome could've sworn Sango to be a expired tough cookie to give you a stomach ache once you finished it, but the first bite was always sweet right? That you just didn't care what the consequences were. Kagome quickly rushed upstairs and crept into her mothers bedroom to give her a light kiss on her forehead, awakening her in the process. "I'm leaving mama. Wish me luck." Her mother smiled sweetly at her daughter before sighing, "Like you'll need it dear, but I will no matter what. Have a nice first day sweetheart." After that her mother fell asleep once more and Kagome left out the living room door, her backpack hanging on her shoulder, before locking the door behind her and rushing down the many stairs their families shrine had owed making her way to the simple Mitsubishi lancer ahead of her steps. She smiled gleefully once Sango caught sight of her and smiled her way before opening the door for her.

"Well wasn't someone taking their dear old time." Sango said as she started up the car. Kagome placed herself in the passenger seat before rolling her eyes at her best friends behavior before she placed her backpack in the back where Sango's backpack was placed as well. "I hope I get to have you for at least one of my classes." Kagome sighed looking lazily out her side view mirror. "It would be a bust if that didn't happen."

"Aw, com'on Kagome don't think of the negatives. We'll know once we get our schedule now won't we." Sango said calmly as she drove on, stopping here and there. Kagome simply nodded and turned to a station on the radio playing her favorite song, she bobbled her head slowly and mumbled a few verses.

Lost in the beat of the music Kagome merely placed her head against the glass of the window not really realizing how close they were towards the school until the music stopped suddenly in the middle of the song. Kagome's face twisted and lifted her head off the glass glaring at her friend. "The heck? Why'd you stop the music?" Sango looked up at her smiling before pointing out the window. Kagome looked towards the direction of the pointed finger and saw the school she missed so much and surprisingly missed while driving... "We were here for about five minutes. I thought you would snap out of it once the car stopped moving, but I guess you didn't." She shrugged before taking out the keys and getting her and Kagome's backpack out from the back seats.

"Let's go."

A puff of smoke busted out from the tailpipes once the motorcycle came to a halt into an empty parking space. Students walking by stared at the motor beast before shrugging it off and continue to walk around the campus. He sighed in relief. He really hated the feeling of staring, not that he'd had shown it outside of course he just simply hated the tingling feeling of eyes glued on him. Kouga grunted as he picked himself off the motorbike and putting the side stand down making it tilt but stand. His long dark hair stood perfect in its high pony tail as he pulled off the face covered helmet off his head reveling it has not been messed up with frizzy helmet hair. Kouga kept his head focused as he pulled out the one key to his motorcycle and slipped it in his back pocket. Lifting up the secret department under his seat ,Kouga pulled out his dark backpack along with his light leathered black jacket. Pulling both on and locking his bike as he started to walk towards the campus.

Not even with at least more than five steps on the campus, his smirk showed as three young men rushed up towards him. "Ayee, Kouga!" One yelled out making Kouga's smirk into a grin towards the small group of guys that came up to him. "Thought you said you were going to drop out! You sly dog your such a fucking lair you hear." Another said behind him as a grin was placed on his features, small dimples showing in his cheeks. Kouga looked over his shoulder and elbowed the guy named Ginta right in the stomach. "Don't ever call me that...Pft dog.. " he said ,the grin never leaving his face indicating that they were all rough housing. Ginta just grinned at him before patting his stomach, "good thing I got a gut of steel." He slightly muttered causing all four to chuckle.

"Alright, alright let's go. The group is wait'en for you Kouga. God, I swear your like a prince of those wolves." The one male that has yet to speak had said jokingly, wrapping and arm around Kouga's broad shoulders. His ruby red eyes read mischief as he grinned a devilish smile. Kouga looked to his side before letting him lead him, "Alrigh' Hinten, lead the way." He said as he recalled the memory of meeting his best friend, always jokingly making fun of himself for having the color of his eyes. Saying that when he popped out of his mother the doctor looked at him and the first thing he saw was his eyes before saying 'Damn!' .Out loud. It was true though, that was the first thing that came to his mind when he had first met the guy. Damn. He was pretty cool once Kouga had gotten used to him they both had similarities in a way. Both liked their hair long and both had distinctive eye colors. It was good enough.

Hinten and the two other boys lead Kouga deeper and deeper into the school next to the back of the bleachers across from the cafeteria tables. Away from preppy annoying guys and girls when it was lunch time, even if it was across a short distance , anywhere away from spirited girl squeals was good enough for him. A group of guys and a little amount of girls stood around the bleachers, leaning on dumpsters that they were next to. Puffs of smoke entered their mouths and left either the same way in or by their nostrils. Forgotten folded dead cigarette laid by their feet meaning that they smoked a lot than their suppose to, but Kouga only shrugged and pulled out a packet of his own once he had arrived to the little group. All guys greeted him in excitement before they went back to their smoking ways or either started or resumed their conversation. "So-" Ginta's twin, Hakkaku, started before blowing out a smoke of air, "What do ya think this school year gonna be like Kouga?"

Kouga looked up at Hakkaku sitting on a dumpster before smirking, taking a puff of the cigarette he held in his hands and blowing it out, "I don't give a damn about that. But if I had to make a lucky guess, I'd say the same as last year. Fresh meat, fights, nerds to pick with, and tons sex in the air." He snorted as some of the guys whistled out load at his last remark and the little woman they had either smirked mischievously or rolled their eyes.

"So pretty much your daily life!" An unknown voice called out the group. Kouga looked up at the way the voice had come from before closing his eyes and leaning both his elbows on the dumpster behind him. "Smart ass." He chuckled, a smirk placed on his lips. The guys laughed before slowly going back to the way they were. The misty smoke mostly filled the entire spot where they had smoked the entire time before the bell rang throughout the whole campus. Kouga payed no mind as he walked slowly, taking his time, as the the others did towards the office to see their first schedule for the entire school year. "No switches!" The old woman rang out, trying as she might to be humorous as she pinned up papers in the high school quad for all to see.

"Excuse me-...uh.. Pardon me-...please?" Kagome eeped quietly as she tried to shove big meaty bodies. She really wanted to see her schedule early and just right where she needed Sango to shout and shove right through, she suddenly vanished! What a good friend to leave her just a few moments when they had just arrived. As she was about to tap the big meaty jock in front of her- She gasped as she felt someone grab her wrist and yank her body forward. Her petite body easily made it through as she was suddenly pulled into a chest. Sounds of leather smushed into her ear as she attempted to get out of the iron grip, trying not to make a scene as she was now in front. "Quit squirming will ya?!" A voice boomed from above. Her body then felt weak and relaxed as she looked up, knowing all to well of the owners voice. His amber eyes looking enraged yet confusion held in them as his grip loosened a tad. Kagome smiled up at Inuyasha, a sheepish smile as she stepped back, Inuyasha letting go of his grip once he felt her form relax to him, "Sorry. I thought it was someone else. Couldn't really see you through those guys." Kagome explained tossing her head back towards the towering teenagers in the back before twirling over and checking for her name on the one of the papers pinned up on a bored. He merely gave a quick look behind him to view at the over sized teens "Like I'd let anyone else touch you." She let a soft giggle escape her lips at his remark before she went back to scanning. He grabbed a hold of her wrist -again, and escorted her out of the horde of teens practically acting like wild animals just to get in the front and see their homeroom class.

"Hey! Inuyasha!- Inuyasha! I didn't even get to see my name!" Kagome snatched her wrist out of his hold and rubbed it in circular motion once they were in a tiny spot of clearing in the quad. "And stop grabbing me by the wrist!... You have a grip like a snake for crying out loud." She mumbled looking down at her palm. Why didn't he ever grab her by the hand instead of the goddamn wrist unless she pointed it out, which she she did every time it happened though it didn't seem to stick in his head. His brows raised up before worry filled his features. "I'm sorry Kagome-" As expected he grabbed her hand gently in his own before slowly walking forward. "I just forget sometimes...-" Inuyasha smiled down at her and once she realized he was smiling down at her ,she gently smiled back. She just couldn't get mad at him for so long. Her smile then faltered some, "Umm-...I still need to go back and check what class I have Inuyasha..."

"No need." He grinned. "After I spotted my name I saw yours just a few lines up from mine. We got the same homeroom Kagome, room 301. I can already tell this is going to be a great year."

"Really?"

"Mm-hm!"

Kagome equally grinned up at him before letting go of his hand and wrapping both her arms around his rolled up leathered jacket arm. "Love this year already." She said happily as she played with a silver strand of his hair between her nimble fingers. Just as she hoped he was in her class, he was! Maybe he was right. This was going to be a great year after all. She sighed sweetly at this thought. And maybe- just maybe there would be no drama at all. Kagome mentally shook her head, there was always drama no matter which way they turned and -Boom! It was there!

"Shit."

Kagome blinked and looked up at her boyfriend. "Inuyasha?-" she asked in confusion at his sudden out burst. "What's wrong?"

"Sesshomaru." He said flatly as he shifted. Kagome let her hands slip from his arm as she followed his gaze. And there he was, silver hair tied up, framed glasses set on his eyes as he sat in the far back corner slouching in his chair, a pen held under his bottom lip as he was looking at a piece of paper. Kagome smiled and looked at Inuyasha. He had a distasteful look on his face and she didn't like it at all. Her hip swiftly bumped his and he let out a yipp. Distracted, Kagome made her way towards his step brother. "Kagome!" She heard Inuyasha call after her silently.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Kagome gave her best smile at him, ignoring her boyfriend's pleas. Sesshomaru just looked at her and as usual he gave no emotion towards her or anyone at all for that matter. Kagome held her hands behind her back as she leaned forward towards a desk next to him. "May I?" She asked politely and was happy to see him raise a brow before nodding in approval.

"What do you want?" He kept his eyes on the piece of paper not bothering to look at her, though Kagome didn't mind one single bit. "Nothing really, just to say hi." Sesshomaru raised a brow at her behavior. She always had a smile on her face -always- once he saw her. It was just odd. Maybe if he just played along she would go away and leave him be.

He placed the pen on top of the desk and took of his glasses off, turning his body towards her. His forearms rested on his knees as he looked up at her. He gave a ghostly smile at her ,almost deadly, "Hello." Kagome was surprised to say the least, he rarely smiled or showed any emotion at all but she always managed to break him either way, Kagome quickly returned the gesture before patting his head lightly.

"Hello!...See, now that didn't hurt now did it?"

"Painfully." His smile fell as he returned to his position before, ignoring the fact that he let her pet him like a lap dog. "Are you going to leave or will you stay where your at woman."

"If I left... would you care?"

"No."

"If I stayed, would you mind?"

He shifted in his seat before looking out the corner of his eye a displeased frown placed on his lips at her word play. "I suppose I would rather have you to sit next by than some unfulfilling stranger. So... No. I would not." Her smile lifted as she heard this.

"But why are you here?" Sesshomaru questioned. Kagome raised a brow at his question. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Why are you here? If I remember correctly, which I do, I saw your name under the room in 801 not 301..." He said flatly as he grabbed his pen and wrote something down before turning his gaze back to her. Kagome's face paled at this. She then stood and walked over to her boyfriend which still has yet to move.

"The hell Kagome. Why'd you-"

"Did the number next to my name say 801 or 301!" Kagome placed her index finger on his lips to cut him off. His eyes widen and once she received no response than other than a cheeky nervous smile. She merely let her finger fall from his lips as she let sighed a heavy sigh. 'I'm not mad... I'm not mad...' She thought to herself before kissing Inuyasha's cheek lightly and smiling sweetly at him. "It's fine Inuyasha. It was an honest mistake." His nervous smile fell as he relaxed before he returned the gesture, equally pecking at her cheek. "Hurry up before the final bell rings Kagome."

"I'll try." She gave one final smile at him, try as she might not to let her temper get the best of her. before rushing over towards Sesshomaru and giving a thank you. As Kagome exited the door and practically jogged to her correct classroom. She mentally thanked Sesshomaru for telling her what Inuyasha had mistaken. 'That would have been embarrassing!' Kagome screamed in her mind as she imagined that the teacher would have to throw her out once he had noticed she wasn't suppose to be there. As her train of thought continued to chug along it abruptly stopped as she smelled a foul odor. "Smoke?" Kagome pinched her nose down as she kept her head to the ground. She absolutely hated the smell of smoke ,it made her woozy yet she bared with it when her father did it once he was still around. Where did it come from? Was there a fire? Kagome sacrificed a whiff and shook her head. It was a cigarette. Kagome snorted 'of course.'

The scent of cigarette was long gone as Kagome finally made it to her real class, 801, just before the bell had rang and Kagome was happy to see Miroku and Sango in the middle waving at her, signaling to join them. "Where were you?! I was looking everywhere!"

Kagome sat down and gave her best friend a glare. "I turned around and you were gone! Where were you?"

"I guess I'm to blame on that Kagome dear. I just saw Sango and just had to whisk her away." Miroku raised a brow towards Sango, a grin placed on his lips. Kagome turned towards Miroku raising both her eye brows in surprise before turning back to her best friend a sly grin of Miroku's on her lips. "Oh?"

"Shut up! It's not like that." Sango said as her cheeks flushed with red leaving Kagome giggling.

"Sure." She said between bits of giggles.

"Shut up. The teacher is here." She grumbled as she stared ahead trying to ignore her best friend's and boyfriend's behavior.

The class went by fast to Kagome and the teacher Mr. Myoga was super nice and cool even if he was a bit half bald, she remembered seeing him last year in every school event she went to. At the last twenty-minutes, he ordered everyone to close the textbook they were reviewing and passed out the entire schedule for all their classes. "As you all know, they're will be no switching classes this year, unless you would like to take that up with the principle ..." Mr. Myoga had said as he went to each desk and passed out the slips. Once he was done he sat at his table up front and let the teens have their free time to chit-chat.

"Hey Sango? what did you get for your elective?"

"Hm? Oh I have wood shop. You Kagome?

"Umm... I'm not sure... What's AIHO?" Kagome said unsure.

"Is that even a word? Ask the teacher."

Kagome looked at Mr. Myoga and sighed before getting up from her desk and walked towards him. He looked up from his book, a gentle smile placed on his lips. "Oh, why hello there Kagome. What can I help you with?" Kagome smiled at him before pointing at her elective giving an uneasy smile. "Sorry if this sounds silly, but if i can, what's this class? I-I never heard it before I think..."

The half balled headed man smiled at her politeness before looking at the paper and it instantly made him remember which elective it was. "Oh no, it's not silly at all. I've would've been confused if I were at your position as well Miss Higurashi. It's a new elective a new teacher is trying out. A.I.H.O stands for advanced in helping others..."

"Advanced?... In helping others do what?"

"Well since your excellent in all your classes a chosen...umm...partner struggling with his classes..-or hers!- will need your help in order for them to succeed in their struggling classes..." As soon as he said that Kagome's face lit up. Seeing this Myoga smiled, relief washing over him.

"Hopefully I get a girl then." Kagome squealed in silent joy towards the teacher making his smile grow weak. "A... Girl?" He echoed her words and once she nodded he just smiled and nodded, just going with the act. "Hopefully..." he sang lightly and uneasily.

"Thank you for explaining this to me sensei. Much appreciated!" Kagome said before going back to her seat, missing the pity look he had given her before returning to his book.

"So... Found out what was AI- whatever is?" Sango said as her best friend sat back down next to her. Kagome nodded happily at her before explaining what it was to the two. After she was done Miroku snapped his fingers together looking at his elective too. "So that's what it meant!" He smiled down clenching his chin. Sango looked at him in surprise. "You have that class too?" Miroku looked up at Sango before nodding and Sango just shrank down in her seat. "Damn it. Well at least we all have math together right?"

"Yup."

"Mm-hmm!"

"Good. I don't wanna be a total loner in my classes." Miroku laughed at his girlfriend behavior before wrapping a arm around her shoulders. "Awh, light'en up Sango dear." He lightly pecked her cheek making her flush even more red than before making Kagome 'aww' at the two. She just relaxed in his arms and sighed before her hair stood in the back of her neck. 'His hand...' Sango gritted her teeth hoping with all her might for him not to go down there. "Miroku?" She said in her most innocent voice as she can go by making Kagome stare oddly at her.

"Hmm-?" Clueless. Completely clueless.

"What did we talk about.." Her voice was edging as she stared at the clock, her hands clenching fists under her desk.

"Wha-?" Now he was dumbstruck stupid. Sango thought as she felt his hand draw closer and closer towards it's destination. "About that cursed hand of your." Her voice lost it's softness as she whipped her head towards the perverted boy- her perverted boyfriend, her brown long pony tail lashing Kagome straight in the face. Brown locks of hair getting in her mouth. "Hey!"

Miroku's hand froze just in time right above her tail bone. He smiled cheekily as he lifted the hand, squeezing the air right in front of Sango's face. "Heh-heh-...Don't blame me! Its got a mind of its own!" He said trying to make a joke to lighten the moment, which seemingly worked to his amazement. Sango just stared at the hand before rolling her eyes and turning her attention back to her best friend. Kagome taking string of long hair out of her mouth making a flat face towards Sango which only giggled and said sorry between bits of laughter.

A bell rang out suddenly without any warning braking Sango's laughter. "Have a good day everyone!" Mr. Myoga had called out making everyone get up from their desk and head out towards the door. Kagome lifting her bag, smiled at Sango and Miroku. "See you at lunch?" Her best friend had said as they exited out the classroom.

"Same place as last year?"

"Yup."

"Okay see you there, Com'on Miroku let's go meet our students!" Kagome squealed lightly grabbing a hold of his elbow at the process.

"Make sure he doesn't grope you!"

Kagome just rolled her eyes at Sango and began to walk away, "Believe me. He won't ,if he likes that hand." Miroku just looked at her before giving the same smile he gave to his girlfriend. "Like i said. It has a mind of its own-." He sang. "So don't blame me." Kagome smiled, knowing all to well he was joking, "Com'on. Lets just go meet our students for the year."
