The Perfect Daughter Chapter 9 part 1, an inuyasha fanfic

A/N: WAAHH!!!! I'M SO SORRY!!! I know I took really long updating… Again... But I do have a reason to, like last time. I was in a situation where I couldn't really access to any internet; I was failing one of my subjects; I had a writer's block and not feeling all that great. I was really depressed and constantly stressed out, and the only way I got away from it was sleeping a lot, but as the result, I got even more stressed and confused in my studies. So when I went to several teachers at my school, and asked for their help, it didn't turn out so well. But now, with the help with my parents, sister and my friends, I'm making it through, and thankfully my muse is finally working! So now, I sincerely thank you all who have been there! Hanging in there and supporting me through my writer's block and writing me really great and awesome reviews! You guys are definitely the best! Anyways, I hope that like the rest of my chapters, you'll enjoy this one just as well! However, as a warning, it might be kind of choppy and weird, it's because it has been a while since I last typed The Perfect Daughter… Anyways, I hope you do enjoy Chapter 9 of The Perfect Daughter! LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!

(P.S. I was wondering, if anyone would like beta-read The Perfect Daughter, please put your email on the review and tell me! (or you can just email me is fine too…) but I really do need a beta reader for this story, and the position is free if anyone wants to do it!)

The Perfect Daughter

Chapter 9 Part 1

Another New Student Part 1

By: AngelMiko289

A new home, a new school, a new neighborhood, and new friends… Everything unfamiliar, everything new. An unknown atmosphere, where everything is done differently and things are said differently. One could say, a completely different world from what one was used to.

As dawn was approaching and the reddish-orange sun was reaching the horizon line, silently outlining the mountains and the trees, a dark haired male stared out of the window, observing the everyday things that his new neighbors seem to do.

The observer sighs as he looks tiredly at the boxes that cluttered his room, with only the tadami mat and the futon on it, furnishing the room.

He then briefly looked at a small white alarm clock that was on the floor near the futon, which was silently blinking the time as it signaled a new day for the male.

'I better get dressed…' the male thought silently as his bare feet padded against the wooden floor and he headed to one of the many boxes that marked 'CLOTHES' on it with big black bold letters.

The male swiftly opened the box and then took off his black muscle shirt and changed into another muscle shirt, except this time it was brown, he then slipped on a pair of army cargo pants that had a white X on one of the knees, over his brown boxers.

He wrapped some bandages around the top part of his pants, and then buckled two black belts around his waist, not bothering to lace them through the loop holes of the pants, being mindful of his tail.

Then while at the same time putting on some socks, he pulled on some lace-up brown hiking boots, and pulled on four sweat bands on both of his arms and biceps. Then, as his trademark, he placed a brown headband around his forehead.

He put his long black hair into a high ponytail and then went out of his room, closing the door with a soft click. He quickly walked down stairs, his feet padding against the hard wooden boards.

As he headed to the kitchen, he smelt a familiar aroma coming from the said area. When he had crossed the dinning room, and opened the door, he found his mother, in a frilly checkered apron, bustling around, her black hair, which had seemed that it was in a tight bun earlier, was now in complete disarray.

After a few minutes of watching his mother scurrying around the kitchen, taking some lids off of some pots and pans and there quietly simmering, and stirring them with a large wooden spoon and he often saw his mother using he had finally broken the tense silence.

"Mother? What are you doing?" he asked, his piercing blue eyes watching his mother.

His mother, whom he loved dearly, looked up at her son, who was taller than her by an inch or two, straight in the eye. When green met blue, there was silence for a while, and both occupants didn't move. Then, his mother suddenly smiled at him, when the whistle of the kettle interrupted the silence, both snapped back to reality.

Then the mother went back to tending the heat while her son decided to sit down at the counter, still watching his mother.

"You still haven't answered my question mom…" he remarked, his eyes meeting his mother's once more.

His mother sighed, turned around, and glowered at him. "Why is it that every time I do something that I don't normally do, you always question it Kouga. It's not like if I do something out of the ordinary, something is immediately wrong."

Her son, otherwise known as Kouga, shook his head, to disagree with what she asked him, "No! It's not that it's wrong… but mom, you have to think about it this way, you are one of those mothers that if something were to go out of schedule, you'll freak. Even dad admits that you go crazy when something happens that you didn't plan in your schedule."

His mother stared at him and placed her hands on her hips, "Why I never! Kouga Ookami, how dare you say that about me! You know that isn't true!"

"My dear… No matter how you try to deter us from what we believe, we cannot say that it isn't true," a deep rumbling voice interrupted.

Kouga and his mother then turned around to see the origin of the voice had came from his father, a tall, but rather burly man, who looked remarkably like his son, with his piercing blue eyes, and pointed eyes. Only difference is that he was more burly and that his hair had turned a stunning silverish-grayish color and his skin was far darker then those of his son.

"You know that dad has a point there mom…" Kouga remarked once more, his face breaking into a small grin when his father hugged his mother, kissed her on the cheek lovingly and then sat next to his son.

"Our son does have a point Amaya, so why don't you tell us why you woke up at 6:00AM, just to cook breakfast?" his father asked curiously.

Amaya, tucked in a strand of her hair, and placed her hands on her narrow hips, looking far more stressed and tried, than awake.

"I just… wanted to try out a hand in cooking again…" she replied, looking slightly uncomfortable answering the question. When both males were about to ask questions, she quickly turned to the stove, and turned off some of the burners.

She turned around and smiled cheerfully at them, "So, what do you want to eat today boys? There is some bean rice, scrambled eggs, sliced mackerel, and some leftovers from yesterday night, so you get to chose your pick this morning."

Both men blinked, suddenly surprised with the sudden change in attitude.

"I think… I'll just have some bean rice and sliced mackerel dear…" Kouga's father replied, looking at his wife with a gleam in his eyes.

"Mom… are you sure you're okay?" Kouga asked, suddenly suspicious, "I mean, you're not hiding anything from me and dad right?" he asked, leaning against his arms there were on the counter.

His mother's unusually bright smile wavered on her face, becoming rather strained then cheerful, and replied, "Whatever do you mean by that dear? Don't you remember that mates aren't supposed to keep any secrets from each other?" she then spooned in some rice into a small porcelain bowl and placed that in front of her husband, and took the lid off of a frying pan and took out some pre-cut mackerel, and slid it into the plate.

After doing so, she took out some chopsticks and gave it to her husband, who immediately, after receiving the food, began to eat.

"Do you want to eat anything dear?" she asked Kouga sweetly, her smile, now not faltering as it had been before.

Kouga sighed, and slammed his head against the counter, annoyed, "That didn't answer my question mom…"

"But dear, you need to eat something before you start your new school." Amaya replied, "When you eat, your father and I shall answer your question."

Kouga grumbled, now far more irritated and annoyed, "Fine… I'll just have some bean rice, scrambled eggs and some coffee."

His mother, took out another pan, plated the scrambled eggs, and then spooned some rice into the bowl, took out another pair of chopsticks and handed the food to her son.

Her husband, who was eating madly, looked at his wife, and smiled, "Thank you for the food dear… you should cook more often, then forcing me to cook for me and Kouga."

Amaya laughed, "Then it wouldn't be as fun to hear you complain dear."

Kouga cracked a grin when his father started pouting and his mother continued to laugh.

After a few cracks at his father on how he was teased by his mother, Kouga had almost forgotten on why his mother woke up so early in the morning to cook breakfast, when she normally doesn't, and what his father had anything to do with it.

Unfortunately for his mother and father, the key word is almost. When the food was half eaten, he had decided to ask once more.

"So, what's the reason why you were making breakfast at six o'clock in the morning for us anyways?" Kouga asked, still curious, but no longer annoyed.

His mother sighed and then sat down on a stool, tendrils of hair coming out of her usually neat bun.

"You know why we moved here, do you Kouga?" she asked.

Kouga nodded, "Yes… Dad said it was because of business."

"Well, your father was only partly true. We also came to Tokyo in order to support someone that we both are good friends with ever since we were in high school." His mother explained, shifting slightly so that she became comfortable.

"I think I'll go now…"

Both heads of mother and son swiveled to Kouga's father, who was shifting uncomfortably, his hands twitching every so often.

"Chicken…" Kouga's mother muttered, "I'll have to talk to him later…", she grumbled angrily as she watched her husband sheepishly smile at her and Kouga, and then scurried out of the room, as if afraid that something bad was going to happen.

Kouga shook his head, his father rather did always hate confrontation, unlike him and his mother, for that they both loved the adrenaline of fighting.

"Anyways, this friend, we found out was diagnosed with a serious disease, and we all worried she was going to die. But, then they said that here, where there is more advanced medicine, there might be a chance to find a cure for her." His mother explained, her tone becoming grave.

"So who was it?" Kouga asked, curious on who was so important to his parents that they would move the whole company to Tokyo. But at the same time, he felt the sudden premonition of doom.

She sighed, "It is Senshinu Izayoi… Inuyasha's mother…"

Surprisingly, the morning didn't start off as badly as she thought it always did. Remarkably actually. She didn't hear Kikyo sing off-key in the shower this morning; she actually got to wake up when her battered alarm clock went off and didn't kill it. She got to finish eating breakfast without her mother walking down the stairs, and she managed to finish fixing her own lunch as well as Souta's in record time.

Unless she was under some mystical spell that allowed her to think that her morning went well, Kagome was absolutely certain that the morning had to be one of the best mornings she had in a while.

Also, to contribute to her cheery mood, she kept running thorough her head what had happened the night before.

What had happened with Shippo… and… unfortunately, Inuyasha, had put her lightened her mood up quite a bit. Remembering what had transpired between the hanyou, herself and Shippo, she grinned, her face lighting up with delight.

However, after she and Inuyasha left Shippo's mansion, she couldn't help but look back on what had happened between them, blush and swear under her breath, cursing at him. Especially after they dropped Shippo off at his mansion and Inuyasha was driving her home.

.: Flashback:.

"I'll see you tomorrow!" called out Shippo as he waved good bye.

As they watch him disappear into the mansion, Inuyasha drove off; silence deafening the two, for only the sound of rushing wind was heard.

"It was a really nice thing you did for him." Inuyasha remarked quietly, his eyes on the road.

Kagome shrugged, "It wasn't because I felt sorry for him… It's because he's like a kindred spirit… No friends, no one to really understand how you're going through…"

As she trailed off, she looked out the window, looking at the blurry visions of trees and the occasional street lamp.

"Is it because of Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked, now more curious about her explanation.

Kagome sharply looked at him, "Whatever gave you that idea Inuyasha?" she asked, her tone turning bitter.

"Nothing… Just how you and Kikyo act around each other… and every time people try to even act friendly to you, you push them away. Little stuff like that." Inuyasha remarked quietly.

Kagome remained silent, not wanting to answer his question.

"I see then… your answer is a yes then…" he muttered to himself.

"You shouldn't jump into conclusions ass-hole," she sharply remarked, "If I said yes, then I would say yes, if I said no, I would say no."

Inuyasha smirked, and briefly glanced at her, "So would that be a no then?" he asked.

"Yes, that would be a no." she replied back, "Why were you asking anyways? Isn't that too personal to ask someone?" she asked scornfully.

"I was just wondering… you don't need to get your panties into a bunch… geez…" Inuyasha replied back.

"Whatever."

There was silence once more in the car, both occupants lost in their own thoughts. After a few minutes, Inuyasha soon drove in front of the Shrine, and then parked the car.

"Thanks for the ride ass-hole." Kagome grumbled, as she pulled the handle of the car.

However…

"Oi! Why isn't the door opening?!" she asked as she tried to pull the handle once more.

She tried it several more times, but the door wouldn't open. Suddenly, she heard a chuckle and she turned to Inuyasha, who as leaning back, watching the spectacle that was occurring with Kagome and the door.

"It's locked baakkaa…" he replied back lazily.

"Well, I know that…" Kagome huffed angrily, "but why is it locked it my question."

Inuyasha smirked smugly at her, "Because we need to talk."

Kagome regarded him with suspicion, "What do we need to talk about?" she asked, getting aggravated at his attitude.

"Just about what we are going to do with the science project," he replied back with a laid-back tone, "And also what are we going to do with dinner."

"Dinner?" Kagome asked incredulously, "What do you mean by what are we going to do with dinner?"

Inuyasha sighed, "Didn't Rin explain it to you?" he asked, "My mom told me to tell you to come every once a week to have dinner with us."

Kagome blinked, "Really? When did she do that?" she wondered out loud.

"Just before we left to force the twerp to fix the computer." Inuyasha responded, placing his hand on the steering wheel, waiting for her answer, "Well?" he asked, "Mom will be disappointed if you didn't accept the invite."

Kagome sighed, "Fine… Just let me clear it up with my grandfather, and then we'll see."

Inuyasha raised his eyebrow, looking at her an inquiring look, rather surprised at her response. Soon, he then nodded confirming the agreement, "Good… Even though it's rather beyond me why she would invite you…"

"Shut up dog-boy!"

He snorted, "Anyways, about the science project, I'll finish up typing up the notes, and then on the second to last day before the due date of our project, we'll finish the experiment. That could be the day that you have dinner with us."

Kagome nodded, for that sounded good to her. "Sure, why not," she replied, "It'll kill two birds with one stone."

Inuyasha nodded with agreement, "Sure. I'll just tell my mom about it."

Then, the sound of the car door unlocking echoed into the silence, and Kagome tugged at the door handle, the door smoothly opening.

"Anyways, thanks for the ride dog-boy," Kagome told him, as she grabbed her book bag and stepped out of the car.

Inuyasha shrugged, "Whatever."

Kagome rolled her eyes, and then closed the car door, when suddenly, in a flash, she felt herself being pulled back against the car, her front slightly leaning over the car door.

"What the-!" she exclaimed as she soon found herself staring into the golden hues of Inuyasha's eyes, her face so close to his that she could feel his body heat.

"You forgot my thank you gift…"

Kagome suddenly turned pink as she felt Inuyasha's warm breath flutter against her cold ear.

She then felt her face turn red with embarrassment and anger, "Look you bigot, since when do I owe you a thank you gift?! Isn't a thank you enough? And what the-"

A pair of warm lips covered over her cold lips in mid sentence, interrupting her.

'HE'S KISSING ME!!!' she thought, her thoughts blaring loudly, 'MOVE AWAY GODDAMMIT!!! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ENJOYING THIS!!! MOVE AWAY!!!'

But she didn't, and she soon found herself kissing back, softly as he was. His lips soft but yet firm, against hers.

Soon, she left the lips pull away from hers and her eyes fluttered open.

"Thanks for the gift Kags…" he whispered softly, kissing her on the cheek.

Then, he smirked at her as he saw her blink, the shock still in effect. Then, suddenly, she saw him driving away, waving at her with one hand in a lazy manner.

"See you tomorrow!" he called out to her as he drove away, winking at her.

Kagome stood there as he drove away, still in shock from the kiss he gave. Her cheeks were still red, and her lips slightly red from the kiss. She attentively touched her lips still remembering the feeling of electric shocks and butterflies that ran down her spine when he had kissed her

Suddenly she realized…

"THAT BASTARD STOLE MY FIRST KISS!!!!!!!"

.:End of Flashback:.

Kagome, remembering what had happened, clutched her fist and growled loudly, thus scaring the people that were passing by, mostly all of them looking at the girl that was growling loudly, and emitted an aura of anger.

"Baka bigot… Him and his stupid little stunt yesterday," she grumped.

Then, she looked at the sky, and smiled, "But, I can't let that dog-boy ruin my mood! It's not like something else is going to go wrong right?" she remarked enthusiastically to herself as she walked cheerfully down the side walk, her ponytail bouncing cheerfully.

Unfortunately for her, she didn't know how wrong she was…

Darkness…

Where am I? What the heck is going on here?!

"What's wrong with him? What's up with his ears?"

Who are those fucking people?! And why are they in my dream?!

"A MONSTER!! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!!"

Are those…

"Why would anyone love you… You're nothing but a half-breed… inferior…"

Memories?

"Shouldn't the police get rid of this trash?"

Why…

"Look mommy! Look at that boy!"

"Dear! Get away from him now!!"

"Why mommy?!"

"Because he's dangerous!"

Why is this all coming back to me?

DAMMIT! What the hell is going on?

"You are nothing to me… Nothing but a lowly half breed."

No…

Your father doesn't love you… Nobody loves you…

No…That isn't true dammit!

Why would anyone love you?

No… Shut up…

Just kill yourself… And no one will know that you've disappeared…

After all…

You are just a lowly half-breed…

And nobody –

… Shut up…

Loves you…

SHUT UP DAMMIT!!!!

"INUYASHA!! WAKE UP DAMMIT!!"

His amber eyes sprung open, and sunlight suddenly flooded into his eyes and he felt the covers thrown off of him.

"Stupid ahou… If you don't hurry, we'll be late for class again!"

Inuyasha growled softly and swung his legs over the side of his bed, every now and then, glaring at his brother.

"Yeah… yeah… Don't get your panties in a fuss Sessho…" he grumbled, annoyed, "I'm awake now…"

Sesshomaru, who was standing above his brother, sighed, and then ran his hand through his hair, now more anxious and annoyed at his brother.

"Look, it wasn't my choice to come and wake you up… Besides, mom was concerned about you." Sesshomaru retorted back, only softening his harsh tone when mentioning their mother.

"What did that bastard do this time? " Inuyasha abruptly asked, pulling on a slightly ripped crimson red shirt, black jeans that were slightly ripped at the kneecaps, black sneakers, and some sweat bands that he placed on both biceps.

"How do you know?" Sesshomaru asked, surprised at his brother's question.

"If you have to go and wake me up, something is usually up with mom… And the bastard is usually the problem."

Sesshomaru sighed and sat down on the nearest chair, and rubbed his forehead, from more of anxiety and worry then annoyance.

"Dad called from the office again…" Sesshomaru muttered, not exactly proud of his father right at the moment, "and he told her that he had to work late today, and probably won't be about to come back home until tomorrow morning."

Inuyasha gaped at his brother, which, by the way, usually doesn't happen. "WHAT!?! Is this a joke!? I thought he promised mom that he would be home by last night, so that they can celebrate their anniversary together!"

Sesshomaru snorted, "Well, apparently, something came up at the office that keeps dad from home…"

Inuyasha groaned, his hand smacking his head, "How's mom taking it?" he asked, concerned about his mother's welfare.

"She seems to be taking it extremely well…"

Inuyasha paused, as he folded his ears and tied a skull patterned bandanna around his head, covering his ears, "Typical…" he muttered as he dropped his pajamas inside the laundry basket.

"What do you mean, typical?" Sesshomaru asked, curious.

"I mean, that every time this happens, she acts like its all fine… Fine over my dead, fucking body… You can tell she's not fine, just because she says she is." Inuyasha growled angrily as he brushed his teeth and grabbed his bag from the side of his bed.

"Point taken…"

A pregnant silence hung over the two brothers, as they quickly went down the stairs, to the kitchen, where their mother was, cooking.

"Good morning Inuyasha! It's about time you woke up! I'm sorry I had to send Sesshomaru, but I was busy making breakfast." Izayoi apologized as she turned around and smiled at her youngest son.

Inuyasha quickly grinned, but it did not hide the shocked expression he had in his eyes, nor Sesshomaru's.

His mother, who was a bright and cheerful woman, had two black bags under her tired violet eyes, that used to have so much cheer and happiness, now held a deep sadness and tired expression. Her movements were now sluggish from the lack of sleep, and her eyes were puffy red, as if she stayed up late, crying.

She looked at the two of them with a raised eyebrow. For a moment, both brothers panicked, thinking that their mother saw.

But then, to their surprise, she started to giggle, "Do I honestly look that bad?" she asked her sons, her mouth quirking up as she asked them.

Inuyasha shook his head, rapidly, "No mom, you look wonderful!" he exclaimed, not wanting his mother the truth.

Sesshomaru nodded in agreement with Inuyasha, "Mom, you look fine... Don't worry!"

Izayoi giggled at their responses, and then gleefully gathered the dishes and placed them on the counter.

"Well then! Let's get breakfast set shall we?" she inquired to them, her grin cheerful as ever, as she lifted a lid from the pan and shifted the food into a large plate that she gave to Inuyasha, who was still slightly shocked.

"Well? Let's hurry up then!" she cried enthusiastically as she shoved her younger son out the swinging kitchen door.

Izayoi then handed two plates to her oldest son and then shoved him out of the kitchen, despite him protesting.

As she watched her oldest son disappear through the swinging door, she clutched her wooden spoon that was in her apron pocket, her smile soon disappeared into a frown.

She shifted the food into the plates in silence, with the frown still apparent on her face, and then walked out of the kitchen door, her face suddenly changing into a cheerful expression, far different from the expression she wore on her face when she was alone.

She walked into the dinner room with a smile, with both of her sons staring at her with concern. Their food surprisingly untouched, she had noted as she sat down at one end of the table.

"Mom… Are you sure you're alright?' Inuyasha asked, as he peered at his mother.

She beamed at her sons, feeling her cheeks sore at the constant fake smiling, "I'm find dear, thank you for asking."

An ominous silence hung over the three, as all of them sat in silence, with only Izayoi smiling like there was nothing wrong.

"Well then! Let's eat shall we?!"

"It's way too early to be morning already…" Miroku sighed, as he ran his hand through his hair. He moved slightly, away from the bright beam of the sun, which had shined through his window.

"Oi…" he muttered, burying his head into his pillow even more, his eyes screwed shut, trying to evade the sunlight.

As the fight between him and the sunlight went on, his alarm clock went off, blaring loudly as usually.

"ARRGGHHH!!! IS NOTHING GOING TO LET ME GO TO SLEEP?!?!" he angrily asked, grinding his teeth in frustration, burying his face into the pillow even further.

Apparently, faith doesn't like him all that well, for that a girl around 4 inches tall, trotted into his room, and threw a cup of water on him.

She waited for a reaction, her feet rocking back and forth on her feet; her dark brown hair was up into two, short pig-tails, slightly bouncing from the rocking movement.

There was no reaction.

Instead of being angry, the girl had jumped on the bed, and sprawled next to the bundle, turned off the loud alarm clock and grinned, for that she had the perfect idea to wake up her big brother.

"Oi! Onii-san! Ohayou! Okide Onii-san!!" the young girl chirped happily in his ear as she started to tug on Miroku's hair.

"ITAII!!! I GET IT! I'M WAKING UP!!" Miroku shouted as he grumpily sat up, his hair now loose from his standard rat tail.

The young girl tsked, "Mom's gonna be mad at you if you keep staying up late you know!"

Miroku snorted, "Yeah… yeah… I'm getting up… Can you tell mom that I'm awake?" he asked, looking at his younger sister with a slight smile on his face.

"Okie dokie!" the girl chirped once more as she sat up from the bed and then skipped out of the door, closing it behind her.

Meanwhile, after a few moments, and Miroku was sure that she had gone, he collapsed back unto the bed. His face covered by the pillow as he mumbled out one word, "Slleeeppp…."

"BRRRIIN-"

A fist suddenly appeared out of nowhere and smashed the alarm clock. It continued to smash it until only fragments remained.

"Sango!! Did you break your alarm clock again?!" a booming male voice called from the stairs.

"Let me slleeeppp…" A groan replied from the bed.

"SANGO!? YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!" a younger, more boyish voice from downstairs shouted.

"Shut up…"

Suddenly, the door swung open with a young boy holding a giant water gun, grinning.

"RISE AND SHINE SANGO!!!" he exclaimed as he sprayed the bundle.

The now wet bundle, called Sango, started to growl dangerously.

"… Kohaku… If you value your life, you better run…"

"EEP!" her younger brother, Kohaku, raced out of her room, his tail between his legs…Figuratively speaking of course.

"COME ON BACK HERE KOHAKU AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!" the now wet and uncomfortable Sango as she jumped out of the bundle of sheets.

"BUT I'M NOT A MANNN!!! I'MM JUSSTT A KIIIDDD!!! DON'T KILL MEEEE!!!" wailed Kohaku as he tried to fend off the angry and irate Sango, who had caught up to him and swung him over her shoulder.

"But you're my brother, which gives me rights to kill you, isn't that right, Otousan?"

"Otousan? Otousan is here? Where!?" Kohaku asked, surprised as he started to look around, trying to find his father.

"In front of me gaki," Sango replied, putting her brother down and turned him around to face his father.

His father, who was a tall and muscular man, was smiling at them, his white teeth contrasting against his tan face. He had a small mustache and beard, his hair placed into a small ponytail, very similar to Miroku's hair.

He smiled at his son and his daughter, who was currently smashing her fist into his son's head.

He sighed, "Mah… Mah… Kill your brother later… You are going to be late for school San-chan."

Sango, how was about to give Kohaku a wedgie, frowned, "Come ON! He's the one that brought the water gun in! I say if he started the fight and can't finish it, then to finish the fight for him!" she protested.

Kohaku whimpered, "You have to be kidding me Sango! Didn't you hear a term, don't prey on the weak?!" he asked, pitifully.

Sango just grinned evilly, "If the weak start the fight, it's only right for the strong to fight back, isn't?"

While the two bantered on, Sango's father grinned and started to laugh loudly, "Its past seven now… If you don't hurry up Sango, you'll make your brother and yourself late for school," her father teased as he straightened out his tie.

Sango sighed, "Fine dad… Do you start today?" she asked as she noted that her father was wearing a black suit, and carrying his briefcase.

Her father nodded, "Yes… I have to go back to work now," he grinned at them, a reassuring grin that immediately comforted both of them, "Don't worry about it. It'll be fine…"

Kohaku smiled, "Okay then! This is so COOL!!!! This means that I get to stay home alone when Sango is still at school and when she's in judo club!" he remarked excitedly as he jumped up and down, despite Sango's hold on him.

Their father grinned at him, and roughly rubbed the young boy's hair, "Just be careful, and when you're along at home, and make sure that you don't open the door to ANYONE!!" he said in a stern tone.

"AYE, AYE SIR!" Kohaku chirped.

Sango sighed, and then loosened her hold on him, "Hump… I guess that'll be okay…"

Their father grinned, "So everyone is okay?"

"HAI!!!"

"ITAI!!!"

"WWWEEEEE LOVEEEEEE APPPLEEEEESSSSS, APPLES, APPLES, APPELS! WWWEEEEE LLLOOOVVEEE APPLES! APPLES! APPLES! APPLES!"

"SHIPPO! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT YOUR TRAP!!!!"

"PPPHHTTT!!!"

"I think we are far more mature than that Master…"

"PPPHHTTT!!!"

"PPPHHTTTTT!!!!"

"PPPHHHTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"PPHHTTT, PHHHTTTT!!!!!!!"

"OKAY! MASTER SHIPPO, MASTER KAITO, PLEASE STOP THIS AT ONCE!!!!!"

"…. pht?"

"Thank you. Now, I am terribly sorry for interrupting your… ermm…" the butler frowned as he tried to put a better name for it.

"I believe it's called a 'pht' contest." Kaito carefully pointed out to the disparaging butler.

"Ah! Yes, a 'pht' contest, well, I'm terribly sorry for interrupting your, 'pht' contest, but you both must get ready for school for that if you continue, you both will be terribly late…"

"Oh, shit! I completely forgot about school!"

"Idiot… How can you forget about school? Isn't that where you are going to meet your friends?"

"… I forgot about that…."

"Sometimes I worry about you Shippo…"

"I worry about myself too Kaito!"

"PLEASE!!! JUST GET READY!!!"

"YES SIR!"

"… I need a better job…"

(Important Note: This is a quick take on Shippo's morning, and you have to admit, you gotta feel sorry for the poor butler. Also, another thing to remember is that Shippo is still a kid, and he will act like one. Since Kaito is his cousin who is, guaranteed, older than him, he is still a kid at heart, so both of them will act more like brothers and best friends than cousins.)

"… So, we came here for Inuyasha's mother…" Kouga blinked. His dishes were already cold and empty.

"Yes…" His mother agreed, not wanting to sugar coat it.

"I see… And to think that I got rid of him for good, he comes back into my life," Kouga growled, "That fucking ass-hole."

"KOUGA! That is NO way to refer to the son of our friends!" his mother reprimanded him sharply as she quickly whapped him on the head with her wooden spoon.

"Whatever…" Kouga huffed, not even twitching when the wooden spoon collided with his head.

"I understand that you both have many disagreements in the past, but please Kouga, you must understand…"

"I don't fucking care." Kouga huffed and then sat up from his seat. He quickly grabbed his backpack and then headed to the door.

His mother sighed and went after him, "What I don't understand is why you hate him so much! You both were such great friends when you both were younger!" she remarked with both of her hands on her hips.

Kouga snorted as he walked out of the door, "Let's just say, we grew up."

His mother blinked as she watched her son speed away, his long hair whipping behind him.

She sighed and then went back into the house, and there she met with her husband, who was curiously peering into one of the pots.

She soon rapped him with the metal ladle that was near by and he quickly let go of the pot.

"Itai! What was that for koi?!" he asked in shock as he clutched his fingers.

But, he didn't get an answer; instead, he got another rap on the head, and a pan thrown in his direction.

"OI! WHAT THE HECK!!??"

"I hate you sometimes, you know that Takeo…"

"I love you too Amaya…"

Amaya sighed and then her husband dragged her onto his lap, where he nuzzled her neck affectionately.

"… So now what? Kouga knows that Inuyasha's here with his mom… Do you remember why they had to move here besides Izayoi's sickness?" She asked, after a few moments of quiet.

Takeo blinked and then thought about it for a minute. Then he placed his hand on her head and then patted it, comforting her.

"I know Amaya… Maybe, this time Kouga won't do anything brash since we are far from home…" he said with in a quiet tone that was full with conviction.

Amaya sighed and then leaned against her husband, "Takeo, you better hope your right…"

To reply to that he kissed her on the forehead and replied, "Don't worry, have faith in our son…"

"Just have faith…"

"Stupid Inu-kuro…. Stupid family troubles… I wish he rots in hell…"

We are now in focus to the currently raging, pissed off and seriously irked Kouga, who was walking to school, and at the same time, cursing at Inuyasha under his breath…While, unknowingly, scaring off people who came near him with a furious growl and nashing teeth.

Really not the best combination.

"Tch! Even worse, they were trying to manipulate me so that it would fall into their game! Hell no! What the hell were they thinking?! They know how much I fucking hate him!" Koga ranted on, his face starting to turn red with anger.

As he was ranting, and occasionally looking at the street signs, he walked in a furious pace, ignoring everything and anything around him. Including people.

"Hey! Watch where you're going kid!"

"You are a rude young man!! I wonder what your mother does with you! Honestly…"

"Watch where you're going punk!"

"Say EXCUSE ME bastard!!"

"Watch where you're going idiot!"

Among several other comments that were shouted at him as he stomped away.

After a while, while Kouga was still in his own world of ranting angrily, he had finally seen the top of the school looming over him.

For the first time since he had stormed out of the house, he attempted to grin, but ended up smirking and the hurried to the building, glad to finally be at the school, and not having to think about Inuyasha.

Unfortunately for him, today seems to be not his day. Especially when he skidded around the corner, and then smacked right into somebody… thus causing him to sprawl over the person he ran into.

After a few moments of uncomfortable silence and unease, Kouga sat up, his head pounding after the collision.

He then started to growl angrily as he squatted and balanced himself on the balls of his feet, glaring at the person who he knocked into, while the person also got herself up.

"Hey! Watch where you're go-," Kouga started, but then stopped when he saw the person he knocked into face-to-face.

'Woah… She's beautiful…' he thought as he watched the girl that he rammed into slowly sit up and looked at him with a furious expression.

"OI! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WATCH WHERE I'M GOING IDIOT!? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT ALMOST MAULED ME!!" the girl exclaimed angrily as she brushed the dirt off of herself.

"I'm sorry miss… I know we just met and all… But you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and I would like to ask if you would like to be my girlfriend?" Kouga asked abruptly, his angry frown turn into, what he hoped to be a charming smile,

There was a short moment of silence.

The girl blinked at him, her narrowed, glaring bluish-greenish eyes, was now looking at him with surprise and anger.

"WHAT THE HELL?!!!"

To think that her morning was getting better and not worse, was an underestimate for Kagome. For that this morning she learned the lesson of be careful of what you say, for that it might come back and bite you back in the ass.

Especially now, since she is staring at what is making the worst of her morning in the face. Literally.

She blankly looked at the male, her vein twitching in annoyance and her eyes wide.

It was until what he said fully processed in her head and the anger and shock came to her.

After the moment of silence…

"WHAT THE HELL?!!" she screamed, mostly out of anger than surprise.

The male looked at her surprised at the loud tone, and then grinned at her, with all of his canines showing. His piercing blue eyes peered down at her, with amusement.

"Wow… Feisty aren't we?" he asked, as he stood up, "You know I love a girl with a little fire."

Kagome, who was still a little dumbfounded, had come back into her senses and was serious considering kicking the guy in the nuts.

"Look, you just knocked into me, and was about to blame me for it. Why don't you try going after my sister? She'll love to go out with you." Kagome retorted back as she picked herself up and brushed herself off.

The male grinned, "Well, why would I do that, when I have a girl like you?" he asked as he leaned into her, his face almost touching hers.

Kagome's face began to flush when she saw that his face was getting closer… closer and closer…

She reacted the only way she could think… she head-butted him.

"HENTAI!!!" she screeched, as she watched him fall to the ground. Then, for good measure, she kicked him where the sun doesn't shine and then stomped off, leaving the poor male on the ground… moaning in pain.

To make things better for the poor sap, the bell rang.

What a way to start a morning now isn't it?

"Gonna be late… Gonna be late… GONNA BE LLLAATTTEE!!!!"

Almost literally flying down the street, was Miroku, with trench coat and all.

"Shit, shit, SHIITTT!!!" he yelled to himself as he dodged many people, who, in return for his 'wonderful' language either flicked him off, and covered the ears of their children. Of course, one will never know, why did they cover their children's ears, after he had screamed it.

He skid a corner and then slowed down, his brow sweaty and his hair matted down from the sweat.

"I really have to learn how to wake up in the mornings on time…" he muttered to himself. He quickly wiped his brow, and continued a fast pace to the school, which was really just around another corner.

"Almost there..." Miroku murmured, his boots thudding against the ground heavily.

But when he turned that corner, shocked the hell out of him.

"OI! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WATCH WHERE I'M GOING IDIOT!? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT ALMOST MAULED ME!!"

Miroku blinked and then saw two people; one out of the two looked very, very familiar to him…

Very familiar.

"Kagome?" he asked himself in shock as he shuffled back a bit and then peered over the corner, despite the people who were passing by him, giving him strange looks.

He watched as Kagome and the other person, a male, 'converse' with each other, with Kagome looking not too happy, and the male looking eager indeed.

"Wow… Feisty aren't we?" he heard the male say.

Miroku silently laughed, 'you have no idea…'

"You know I love a girl with a little fire." The guy continued, trying to hit on Kagome.

"Look, you just knocked into me, and was about to blame me for it. Why don't you try going after my sister? She'll love to go out with you." Miroku heard Kagome shoot back, her eyes going into defensive mode.

"Well, why would I do that, when I have a girl like you?" the guy asked as he cocked his head and then looked at her curiously.

The guy began to lean to her and when their heads almost touched….

WHAM!

Miroku winced as he watched the poor guy fall, who had suffered a head-butt from Kagome.

"HENTAI!!!" she had screeched at him, and then kicked in the nuts for good measure.

She had then left the poor sap on the ground both groaning and clutching his crouch area.

"Wow… ouch… That's gotta hurt…" Miroku remarked out loud after he watched the whole scene.

Then, the bell rang.

"Shit!" Miroku muttered under his breath. He quickly turned the corner and headed to the school.

But as he walked to the school with the other hundred that were rushing in, he hesitated and then looked at the guy who was slowly sitting up, cursing slightly while at himself.

Miroku stood there, and looked at his watch, the guy and the school.

"Geez, Sango was right, I'm such a friggin' sap…" Miroku muttered to himself as he went back and helped the guy up.

"Thanks…" the guy grunted as he gratefully took the hand Miroku had lent.

"No problem… However, that was a serious beating you took there." Miroku remarked.

The guy grinned, "I know, but it wasn't too bad you know?" he said as he straightened up.

Miroku blinked, "What the hell do you mean?" he asked, astounded by the flippant attitude the guy emitted.

The guy shrugged, "I thought you knew priest."

Miroku raised an eyebrow, "Let me guess. Wolf demon?" he asked his tone a bit dry.

"Yeah. That girl packed a punch… She'll be a good mate." The guy remarked as he whistled as he remembered the 'beating' he took.

Miroku snorted, "Well, don't get your hopes to high… She isn't exactly the one that'll want to be yours after your little introduction…"

The male looked at Miroku and grinned, "Ah, don't worry about that… By the way," he put out his hand and introduced himself, "I'm Kouga, thanks for helping me put there."

Miroku grinned, "Like I said, no problem…" he took a look at his watch and the cursed, "Shit! Look, sorry I have to bail, but I have to get to first period, see you around!"

Then, Miroku ran off, once again, cursing.

Kouga smirked and then stuffed his hands in his pocket.

"You know, this school won't be bad at all… Not at all…"

First period… Otherwise known as the beginning of hell, has officially started. With all the usual occupants.

With all the years that Totosai has taught in Shikon High, this was definitely one of those times where he wished that his students were wooden posts and he could burn them all with the mouthful of fire… Not like that impossible for him.

Unfortunately, the only thing he can do is sit back and think, why had he chosen to become a teacher again?

Oh yeah… now he remembered… To teach the leaders of tomorrow…

What a pitiful excuse is that?

He sighed, and then leaned back into his chair, that was now tilting dangerously on its two legs.

As he watched the clock that was above him, upside down now, he mentally counted the minutes before the next bell would ring, signifying that the class was about to start.

The bell rang, and doors began to close.

First period has begun, and it was time to take roll.

A/N: After much deliberation and annoyance from my sister, I have agreed, albeit reluctantly to but this chapter in half. Although I didn't tell her where I was going to stop it, I hope that this is a long enough chapter to express my deepest gratitude for all of your wonderful reviews! Now, for extra notes…

For all of you who are Kouga fans, I'm sorry, but I believe I made him a bit OOC in this chapter. For this, I deeply apologize. This is not, I repeat, NOT a Kouga/Kagome fic, no matter how it looks now. Remember, this is only the beginning of the story, and I have much, much more planned for our beloved characters.

Anyways, for all of those who are confused of Sango's and Miroku schedule, here it is!

Period 1 (Chem.)

Period 2 (Welsh)

Period 3 (Calculus): Mr. Kikmi

Period 4 (English/Japanese): Mrs. Kaukaza

Period 5: Lunch

Period 6 (History)

Period 7 (P.E.): Kaede

Anyways, if you compare it with Kagome's and Inuyasha's schedule, it is rather obvious that they have almost all of the same classes, excluding History, and Chemistry. Don't worry about their teachers either; I'll post this schedule back up when I have decided on their names:-P Anyways, I hope that you have enjoyed the chapter so far, and now I would like to respond to all of the wonderful reviews I have received:-D
