Hopelessly Devoted 2 U AU

By: Kikyo's Lova

My 3rd Inuyasha fic, and I was inspired to write this because of my sucessful (and still ongoing) fic, "Out with the old, In with the new". It's Alternate Universe, so just go along with it, okay?? It's very entertaining.

Hopelessly Devoted 2 U:

Chapter 1: Strange

Kikyou was sitting at a lunch table with her sister, Kagome, and her other two friends, Sango and Rin. It was 12:15, the normal lunch assignment for seniors in their school, and halfway into the year, all they thought about were their lives outta this hell hole. Lunch was nothing.

"So how was your history class? Did it make you fall asleep as usual?" asked Kagome, eating some fried rice.

Kikyou looked at her sister. The two hated each other with a passion, so it was odd for Kagome to ask a dumb question like this.

"It was...strange."

"Hmmm," mumbled Sango, staring at her friend. For the past couple of weeks, Kikyou had been a stranger version of herself; she turned plain and simple. Kikyou couldn't make any emphasis on anything she said anymore.

"Are you going to eat?" asked Rin. Kikyou hadn't ate much in the lunchroom either.

"Nah, I got that Literature project to work on," said Kikyou.

Sango sighed. Kikyou was never lazy; on the contrary, she might even be considered to be a workaholic. She even tried to catch up with her friend several times, but it was no use.

"I hope you don't kill us completing it."

Kikyou smiled. "All I have to do is wri-"

"Wassup boo? Whacha doin over here?"

Kikyou was abruptly stopped when she heard that gruff, annoying voice. The annoying immature brat who always tried to talk to her.

"Dammit; Kouga's coming," said Sango with a hushed voice.

Kikyou glared at her for stating the obvious. Kouga always followed Kikyou around, almost to an obsessive point. He flirted with her and talked to her, but Kikyou always managed to get away from his claws. This time though, it seemed like she was cornered.

Kouga slowly made his approach toward Kikyou. Kikyou smiled nervously and took a little step back, as not trying to offend Kouga. Kouga flipped his long hair and kept his pursuit on Kikyou.

"Why the hell does he do that gay little move all the time?" thought Kagome.

Kouga finally reached her and grabbed her hands. Kikyou smiled but everyone around her could tell that she was a bit freaked out. Her eyebrow twitched consistently.

"Hey Kikyou. It's been so long since I have seen you. You look beautiful today." said Kouga. Kikyou wanted to scream. Her sister was sniggering uncontrollably.

"If you call 40 fuckin' minutes a long time then yes, asshole," thought Kikyou but she smiled more gracefully.

"I thought that we could hang out this week, you know, by the park and stuff. What do you say?" asked Kouga. Kikyou smiled harder, but her nervousness was starting to set in. Kagome tried to hold her laughter in.

"Why the hell is he asking me out?" thought Kikyou. "I hate him!"

She cleared her throat:

"Um, yeah. About that. Listen, I'm really sorry to say this but I got this project that is due on next Monday and I really need to work on, okay? Plus, I hate the park; I'm allergic to uhh...the berries that grow on the...trees?"

"Since when?" asked Kagome, trying to force her sister on a date she didn't want to go on. "I remember you going to the park all the time..."

Kikyou glared at her sister."That little bitch," she thought.

Kouga didn't seem to pay Kagome's comment any mind.

"Alright babe. I understand. Then how about next Tuesday?" asked Koga persistantly. Kikyou tried not to frown or show any sign of frustration.

"You just won't hop off, will you?" thought Kikyou.

"We'll see Kouga. Right now, I have to go," said Kikyou. She was about to leave but Kouga held on to her hand just a bit longer.

"Remember Kikyou: You will be mines," said Kouga. He then ran off with his friends. Kikyou sighed.

"Well, I guess things didn't work out pretty well between you and Kouga, Kikyou," said Sango.

"Are you serious?" asked Kagome. "They have great chemistry!"

Sango and Rin laughed at Kagome's joke, and Kikyou frowned.

"Are you kidding me? I'm never going out with that, never ever," said Kikyou.

She was about to walk out, when she suddenly bumped in to a guy. He accidently let go of his tray, spilling his milk on Kikyou's shirt. Sango gasped. Most of the people gasped and whispered. The whole cafeteria fell in silence. Kikyou stared at her shirt, and then stared at the guy who made a mess on her shirt. She recognized the guy.

"Oh wow. This guy spills milk on my damn shirt. Great." thought Kikyou.

She wanted to explode and yell at him but she couldn't. She felt a little pity for Inuyasha. He was always alone and could be a little weird sometimes but he didn't need any lectures from her. Plus, he didn't seem that bad. He just had a 'tough-guy' image to uphold.

Kikyou was about to just go when she heard him talk.

"So you're not gonna yell at me, huh? Not gonna try and hit me? Maybe call me a loser?" asked Inuyasha in a whisper. Kikyou kept quiet. Inuyasha's face formed a frown.

"What are you waiting for?! Aren't you gonna belittle me like everyone in this public system has?! " he whispered harshly. Kikyou gave him a curious stare.

"No I'm not," she whispered back, answering his question. "You don't need to be yelled at. Besides, it's just a shirt. I can always wear the spare one in my locker."

She made a little smile which caught Inuyasha by surprise and kept walking out of the cafeteria.

Everyone in the cafeteria stared at Inuyasha for a moment, then continued on eating. Kagome began to laugh, and Sango ran after Kikyou.

"Kikyou, wait up!"

Inuyasha walked around the hallways after leaving the cafeteria after the incident with that girl. As he was walking through the hallways, several people bumped into him rudely and didn't say the slightest 'sorry'."

"That's just me," Inuyasha thought. "I'm just a nobody. Not belonging to any group."

Passing each corner of the halls and bumping in to people, he generally felt angry and alone. A bit frustrated maybe, but that feeling never really continued to grow in him. He just didn't care much anymore. The world didn't care for him either, well, that's what he usually felt. So why the hell should he give a fuck about the creatures around him?

Circling around the halls like a lost kid, Inuyasha walked around hopelessly. He didn't feel bored, since he was thinking of what just happened in the cafeteria. Usually, people would yell at him if he did just a tiny mistake. But this girl... she didn't. She just smiled at him and looked at things differently.

"You don't need to be yelled at. Besides, it's just a shirt. I can always wear my spare one in my locker."

Her voice echoed inside of his head. No one ever spoke to him like that before, with such...kindness. She was a strange girl, he thought. He felt kind of stupid for whispering to her like that.

"No matter," he thought. "Who the hell cares anyway?"

But as he went more down the hall, he saw her again. She was still smiling. He wondered why.

"She always seems to smile... what a freak," thought Inuyasha.

(Hmmm...Chapter 1 was kinda... ODD to say the least. Anyways, I'll update on occasion now, since I have two stories to tend to now (Out with the old, In with the new). Anyways, send a review and I'll update 4 you!)
