First day is here! No angry mobs so far, so that's good. I've been listening to the Happy Song too much again. I am really happy, I'm sugar coated me! Happy good, anger bad that's my philosophy! Sorry about the delay, but I've been doing actual summer things like swimming and going to Holiday World (The Zoombabwe or whatever broke right when we got to the top and got ready to go on it! An entire hour, lost, wasted, and gone forever!) and riding four-wheelers at my friend's house. She has a trailer for it and six of us rode and Erin and Stephanie-san fell off. Abbey almost got her drawing hand crushed. But enough of my summer adventures, and more of my fanfic.
Summary: AU Kagome and Inuyasha meet each other much earlier on in life. Try, first grade? Yeah. They grow up together, and they inevitably change. InuXKag, MiroXSan, RinXSess, ShippoXSouten. Rating for safety and it may go up. Probably won't though.
Kagome mother wished her a good day before driving off. She could see Sota in the back seat making faces at her before they drove out of the parking lot and turned a corner.
She shook her head and walked towards the statue. Two people were sitting there, when one suddenly slapped the other. Kagome had a feeling that her first day at highschool would be a strange one if nothing else. And she also had the feeling that she was being watched.
When she reached the statue, Sango jumped up and said, "Boy, am I glad to see you!" Sango had worn a tight sleeveless shirt with a gold symbol in the top right hand corner and a pair of black jeans with lots of pockets and a pair of black boot shoes with white laces. The boot shoes looked kind of heavy and Kagome would bet it would hurt to be kicked by them.
The boy holding a hand to the red mark on his face, Miroku, was wearing a pair of loose, but not hopelessly baggy, jeans and a purple T-shirt. Sango pulled Kagome over to him and introduced them. "Kagome, this is my perverted friend Miroku. Miroku, this is Kagome."
Miroku seized the opportunity and held both of Kagome's hands in his own as he asked her, "Would you do me the honor of bearing my children?"
Suddenly the tree above the statue was shaking. A red blur inserted itself between Miroku and Kagome a second later. "Hey! That's my friend you're talking to! And if I ever hear you ask Kagome that again I'll tear off your-" Inuyasha started to threaten before Sango cut him off.
"He usually says it once to every girl when he meets her." Sango informed him.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted with joy as she turned him around for a hug. She noticed that he had grown, and he was considerably more built than the last time she had seen him.
Inuyasha was surprised to find that Kagome had physically matured a lot over the summer. But he tried very hard not to think about that since that would lead to no where good. And why was he thinking about it in the first place!
"Sango, Miroku, this is my friend Inuyasha. He's half dog demon." Kagome told them.
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Sango. That's Miroku, and I think our day might go better if he didn't speak for himself too much today." Sango suggested.
"From what I've heard so far, I'd say you are entirely correct." Inuyasha agreed.
Miroku started to make a disagreeing noise, but Sango silenced him with a finger on his lips. "Don't say anything. You have much more going for you with muteness." she promised him.
They talked for a while after that, excluding Miroku other than the occasional outburst or comment, just about school and who had what classes when. It turns out that they only had two classes each that didn't include all four of them. And the girl's schedules were identical, as were the boy's.
People started to show up to wait for the school doors to open after they had been talking a while. Kagome was surprised that she knew some of the people she saw.
Sesshomaru passed by without a word. Kagome waved, and he at least waved back. Kagome was one of the few people who Sesshomaru could tolerate. But as soon as Kagome had her back turned to talk to Sango, Sesshomaru gave Inuyasha a knowing smile. Inuyasha replied with a threatening growl.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome wondered.
"Nothing. Why do you like my brother? He was sent from the darkest realms just to torture me, and you are one of the few people to successfully make friends with the guy!" Inuyasha fumed.
"Your brother loves you, and deep down you love him too. You just don't want to admit it, and neither does he." Kagome replied.
"I'd love to kill the guy, I'll say that much. Why do you-" Inuyasha grumbled. The bell interrupted his complaining.
"Well, I'll see you guys in Biology! I have to get to my locker!" Kagome shouted before she rushed off. Inuyasha was next to her within two seconds. "I can never shake you, you're too fast."
"My locker is right next to yours Kagome, so you can walk with me." he replied smugly.
"Okay, I'd like that anyway." Kagome said simply.
They walked together to their lockers, and neither missed the looks they were both getting. "You never seen a half-demon or a pretty girl before!" Inuyasha asked them, annoyed.
That made people look away and pretend that they hadn't been looking. Kagome blushed. "You think I'm pretty Inuyasha?" she asked in an offhand manner.
Inuyasha looked embarrassed and looked away, avoiding her questioning look. They reached their lockers and put their folders and school stuff in and shut them. Neither noticed the one demon that had continued to watch Kagome after Inuyasha shouted. He was a few lockers down from them, and he was wearing armor with fur. He had long black hair pulled into a ponytail, and a distinctly wolfish gleam in his eye.
Kagome and Inuyasha reached Biology and sat next to each other. Sango and Miroku were already there so they sat behind them. Before class even began, Sango pulled out a notebook and started to write a short note to Kagome. She tossed it lightly over her shoulder and Kagome unfolded it.
'Have you ever noticed how nosy boys get when you start to write a note or try to pass one?'
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha and Miroku peering over at her and smiled. 'Well, I have now. Why do I have a feeling that we'll be passing many more notes before the day is through?'
Sango opened it and had a mischievous smile on her face. 'Because you have befriended the most avid note passer in all Japan! Congratulations!'
Kagome shook her head with a smile and noticed that class had started. They were told to choose lab tables and wait for further instructions. Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome all went to the lab table that was closest to the chicken egg incubator. Mr. Myoga, the Biology teacher, decided to call roll so he could mark their lab table grouping. Then he passed their textbooks out to them.
The rest of class went by without many incidents, and when it was over, they all went to their lockers and headed to English. When they got in their classroom, they noticed that their teacher was a short green toadish demon. He was probably an imp of some sort. His name was Mr. Jaken.
Inuyasha looked at their English teacher with a strange expression on his face. "Inuyasha, are you okay?" Kagome asked as she waved a hand in front of his face.
"Yeah, it's just that. Well, I think our teacher used to work for my dad." Inuyasha explained. "I wonder what he's doing here?"
He had no further time to wonder, because just then the bell rang and they were all asked to be seated. He sat in back of Kagome and Miroku sat in front of her, much to Sango's annoyance. Sango "humph"ed and sat behind Inuyasha since all the seats around Kagome had been taken.
Apparently, most of the boys in school thought Kagome was quite a catch, and tried very hard to get a seat close to hers. They were all staring, no practically drooling over her! Inuyasha was less than happy. You could say he was furious, but that would be a huge understatement.
Inuyasha looked over at all of them and let out a low territorial growl. That made some of the demons stop, but all the humans were still staring. They didn't understand territory. Not what it meant to demons, nor what they would do to maintain it.
Of course, Kagome missed the stares and Inuyasha's growl because she was paying attention to the teacher. Inuyasha found it hard to believe, since the teacher was boring him to death. But then again, Kagome had always been very bright and intelligent, even in grade school, where most people avoided intelligence like the plague. And Kagome had loved learning as long as Inuyasha had known her.
Kagome had worn a tight tiny white tank top that showed her stomach underneath an open purple button up shirt. To go with it, she wore an extremely short dark jean skirt, and soon Inuyasha found himself staring at Kagome as shamelessly as everyone else. That is, until Sango gave him a note for him to pass to Kagome.
Kagome felt Inuyasha press a note into her shoulder to get her attention. She discreetly reached over her shoulder and took it from him. When she opened it, it said, "Are you not noticing the stares you are getting from all the guys! Even Inuyasha's mouth is almost hanging open!"
When she read the last part, Kagome felt extremely warm and uncomfortable. She ignored her uneasiness and wrote back, "No, I've been trying to learn. And I find it hard to believe that Inuyasha would stare at me. Sango, we've been friends forever, and he's never stared at me before!"
When Sango read this, she sighed. Kagome was so oblivious. She started to furiously scribble her response.
Kagome read Sango's reply. "Well, I know what I'm looking at, and I'm watching Inuyasha gawk at you. The only person looking at you as intensely as Inuyasha is Koga, the leader of the wolf demons. I can point him out to you later, but they both look like they've had a spell put on them."
Kagome just shook her head disbelievingly at Sango. Before she could write an answer, the bell rang. She packed up the books that had passed out for the class for the rest of the year and said, "We'll see you boys in History! Have fun in your Art class!" before she pulled Sango to the gym for their P.E. class.
Their P.E. teacher was named Ms. Kagura and she told them to have fourteen dollars tomorrow to buy their uniforms. Since they couldn't exercise without uniforms, they were given the rest of the period to socialize. Before Sango could start talking about what they were passing notes about the previous hour, a boy with a long ponytail approached Kagome.
"Hello, I don't believe we've met. My name's Koga, and yours is…" Koga asked as he introduced himself.
"I'm Kagome and this is Sango." Kagome told him, shaking his hand.
"Oh yes, I know Sango." he said mysteriously. "But anyway, I couldn't help but notice your spiritual power and I was wondering-"
Kagome's eyes widened in fear. "Okay, I'm a miko, but don't kill me! I didn't do anything!" she cried as she held up her hands and backed away.
"Whoa hold on, I'm not going to hurt you!" Koga assured her as he pulled her hands into his own and patted them reassuringly.
"How did you know she was a miko Koga?" Sango wondered.
"I have a sixth sense for danger, and mikos are naturally dangerous to demons." Koga explained. "Anyway, I was wondering if you had ever used your spiritual powers or if you even knew. But if you're a miko, then my question is already answered."
Meanwhile in Art…"Miroku, you have got to be the most perverted person I have ever met!" Inuyasha declared as he worked on his picture.
"So are you telling me that you have never had any indecent thoughts or dreams about your lady friend Kagome?" Miroku asked him with a sly smile.
"Uh, well…that is I, okay, maybe I've had some thoughts, and it isn't my fault what I dream!" Inuyasha defended himself.
"Now that we have at least a little common ground, I think you and me will get along fine." Miroku announced.
Inuyasha decided that he should really try to be friends with Miroku, even with him being a pervert and all. "So, do you really ask every girl to bear your children as soon as you meet them?"
"Of course! I don't want to pursue a girl who would be anything less than serious about a relationship." Miroku told him.
"Less than serious about relationships? You really seem to fit that description! I'm surprised you managed to keep a chick friend for as long as you have!" Inuyasha said in an astonished tone.
Miroku looked from side to side as if to see if anyone was listening to their conversation and leaned in to say, "To let you in on a secret, so am I. I'm not sure how Sango is so patient with me, but she has always been my friend. And I'm going to win her heart eventually."
"So you like her?" Inuyasha asked.
"Of course! I've loved her since I first met her! And I've told her that! I'm always calling her darling and sweetheart, but she doesn't seem to take it seriously." Miroku said with a sigh.
"Gee, I wonder why that would be?" Inuyasha said in a small voice to himself.
Later, after their fourth hour History lesson and lunch, Sango and Kagome had cooking. Their teacher's name was Totosai and he was some sort of demon. Sango wasn't positive what kind, but only a demon can breathe flames to boil water more quickly.
Inuyasha was sitting in his Algebra class bored out of his skull. Their teacher, Ms. Kanna, spoke in a soft monotone and made the class that much worse. Inuyasha didn't think anyone could make Math more boring, so he was shocked to find that they could.
In Computer Applications, after they had finished their typing lessons for the day, Sango, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku had started to chat. Sango was almost at good at chatting as she was at note passing.
"Hey, Inuyasha. You want to come over to my house and play video games this weekend? I'm inviting Sango and Kagome to come and watch." Miroku messaged Inuyasha.
"Sure, but prepare to be beaten. I've been playing video games my whole life!" Inuyasha sent back.
"I've been playing video games my whole life, and some of my previous ones as well!" Miroku sent.
Inuyasha had forgotten that Miroku was a Buddhist. So he sent, "Tell me when exactly, I need directions to your house."
Okay, first day done! Hope it was worth the wait. It was eight pages long on my Microsoft Word. Crap! I stopped looking at my computer for one sec and Word closes on me. Thank God I saved everything! Well, I always encourage you to read and tell me what you thought. (BTW: I did most things in their highschool the way they do things in mine. It's really the only thing I can base their school on.)
