Hello Readers :3

Whoops! Did I say no sex? I meant no sexual/ physical abuse. They're gonna get together eventually, I promise. ;)

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well today. It's been a very busy summer for me, but I love writing so I decided I'm just gonna make time! haha I absolutely cannot wait for it to start getting cold again. I really dislike hot weather!

I'll get back to work! Thank you for keeping up with the story! xxx

Kagome arrived at Shikon High about fifteen minutes before the bell was to ring. She walked carefully through crowds of people in front of the schools entrance. She could feel eyes on her and felt her cheeks heat up; she held her backpack tightly to her chest and looked through the many faces, trying to find Inuyasha.

Her eyes landed on him quickly. He stood out in the crowd; he was taller than most, and his silver hair was an easy identifier. He was standing near a girl with wavy midnight hair grazing her shoulders, pale skin, and ruby red eyes. The girl had her arms crossed over her chest. She was clad in a black long-sleeved shirt paired with ripped skinny jeans and boots. Inuyasha looked annoyed with the girl as he dug into his pockets, pulling out a pack of cigarettes, and indignantly opening it up to hand her one, which she took smugly. Kagome watched as the girl lit up and took a deep inhale and Inuyasha leaned boredly against the wall behind him, talking to the red eyed girl about something Kagome couldn't hear.

Kagome hesitantly started to move forward. She hoped she wouldn't be intruding.

As she grew closer, she strained her ears to listen. The red eyed girl spoke first. Her voice was low and cold. Kagome stopped in her tracks, she suddenly felt extra cautious. Something told her that girl wasn't good news.

"so, where the hell were you for the past, like.. six months?"

Kagome held still listening silently. Inuyasha was oblivious of her presence. He stared at the ground and scuffed his feet.

"My brother found out... and forced me into treatment."

Kagome's eyes widened, a bit and she felt a pang in her heart. She continued to watch and listen.

"Surprised it took him so long to notice. You were starting to look pretty deadbeat. I thought he was smart n'shit."

Inuyasha scoffed.

" He's not an idiot. He knew I was high all the time, he just had no idea what I was on. So he didn't care to get involved."

Kagome wanted to run up and give Inuyasha a hug. He looked so tired. She wanted to make him smile. She slowly took another step towards him.

Unbeknownst to her, she was also being watched. By two students. They were a bit worried as they watched the new girl start to move slowly towards Inuyasha. She was new, and they didn't want her to get involved in something she couldn't handle. They quietly began walking towards her intending on distracting her and hopefully steering her away from Kaugra an Inuyasha.

Meanwhile, Kagome watched the red eyed girl smirk.

"Sorry I forgot he hated you."

"keh. You're a bitch."

"At least I'm not crazy like you."

"touché."

Kagome watched the banter curiously. It seemed like those two knew each other well. She wondered if they were friends or if they liked each other. She felt a twinge of jealousy and she started to walk forward, intent on talking to Inuyasha.

However, before her first step, she felt a strong grip on her shoulder. She gasped in surprise..

"Hold it Miss."
