Authors Note: I needed a little break from my other story 'When my Dreams lead to you' so I decided to create this new fanfic. Thanks to the extremely helpful tip from a review on my other story I believe this story's writing structure will be easier to read. The general theme of this story is from the manga 'Boys over Flowers' by the extremely talented Yoko Kamio. I absolutely loved the manga series and also the Korean TV series adaptation of it so now I want to do my own edition of it with the Inuyasha characters. It is not a crossover so please don't expect the characters from 'Boys over Flowers' to be in this story. I will be working on both this story and 'When my Dreams lead to you', so I'm aiming to post a new chapter for each story weekly, more if possible. Now on to the story and please enjoy!
Disclaimer: Do not own Inuyasha or any characters from the series (unfortunately!).
Boys over Chocolates
Chapter 1
Welcome to Cedar Academy, the world's smallest enclosure for the world's largest populace of spoiled brats. Only at Cedar Academy, Elite Preparatory School for the Gifted, will you find students arriving in helicopters and silicone implants offered on the lunch menu.
Kagome inwardly smirked at that last remark. So silicone implants weren't actually offered at the Academy, but it might as well have been with all the girls walking around with fake boobs. Continuing her private tirade of mental antics, Kagome forgot to look up when she rounded the corner near the schools gated entrance; unfortunately causing her to bump into Hiten Matsuro.
Kagome immediately bowed her head and apologized to the upperclassman, which was required for all freshmen to do in the event of angering a senior. Kagome slightly turned her gaze upward to get a better look at Hiten and immediately saw the insignia on his uniform indicating who…or more like what he was. A demon. Other than being an institution that schooled self-centered, egotistical brats; Cedar Academy was also one of the few schools in the world to educate both humans and demons in the same establishment. According to the school council, it was ''demeaning and unorthodox to segregate the two publics when it came to education''. In other words, it was more profitable to let the demons school with the humans because they had a substantial amount of money to donate to Cedar Academy, thus allowing the school council members to take their bogus lavish vacations and receive a ridiculous amount of $75,000 as a "holiday bonus".
"Well what do we have a here, A freshman who dared to hit a senior? Tsk tsk…now what shall I have to do with you?" Hiten cupped Kagome's chin to bring her face in full view to his. "Well you're definitely not the hottest thing here are you?" A cruel smirk plastered his face, "I won't lower myself to touch you so I guess I'll just have to let Manten have his way with you."
Just as Kagome was getting ready to kick Hiten in his family jewels and run like hell, a loud shriek came from the top of the staircase that led up to the Academy's main entryway.
"It's the GL4!" A girl who looked to be a junior, with way too much Botox in her lips and make-up on her face, pointed enthusiastically at the group of men who were entering through the school entrance past Hiten and Kagome.
There stood the "GL4'', a term that obnoxious teen girls deemed to call the richest, hottest guys at Cedar Academy. It stood for "The good-looking four" and Kagome had to begrudgingly admit that it was a name all of the men in the group had earned. They were all assholes about it though especially their ringleader, Sesshomaru Yamamoto. The first-son and heir to the notorious Yamamoto Company, Sesshomaru was practically a prince to Japan. From grocery stores to museums and even cell phones, the Yamamoto Company definitely had their hands in everything relating to business. Sesshomaru, unfortunately, was also the son to the Chairman of Cedar Academy, making him practically untouchable.
Standing at a near 6 feet and 3 inches, the leader of the GL4 was hard to miss. He had some features that Kagome assumed was what drew so many flocks of females at his feet, like his golden eyes, and his striking magenta stripes atop his porcelain skin. His hair was his best attribute in Kagome's opinion and it made her quite envious with how well the silver accentuated his whole appearance.
Kagome scoffed at herself for complimenting the bastard who stuck his nose down at every being within the Academy. She turned her sights to another member of the GL4, Miroku Satou. He was probably the nicest one out of the 4 and that wasn't saying too much. The jerk seemed to think he was God's gift to women and should be treated as such. He had short raven colored hair and soft brown eyes that glowed with radiance every time he smiled. He is the son of real-estate moguls. The Satous own real estates in most of Japan, China, and South Korea with some ventures as far as even the United States. The Satou family members are also relatives of the Royal family, often visiting the Imperial Palace as honored guests.
Kagome continued to watch Miroku when a girl "accidently" tripped right in front of him. To Kagome's shock, Miroku actually walked over to her and proceeded to help her. Kagome almost praised him for acting like a gentleman; that was before she saw him lower his hand to the young girl's backside and playfully pat it causing the girl to giggle amorously.
'Ugh even the rich are grotesque', Kagome inwardly sneered, as she turned to survey the next school heartthrob.
Koga Nakamura. He is the one who prefers older women who are mature and calmer than the teenage girls that constantly bombard him. However, that never stopped him from competing with Miroku to see who can sleep with the most women in one night. It was a perverse game they liked to play and despite it being something the two were infamous for doing; it never stopped the woman from literally throwing themselves at them.
Koga is the son of a world-renowned artist and Japan's most sought-after actress. Koga's parents are also the owners of Nakamura Pictures, the number 1 movie production company in the world. With movie star good looks and brilliant blue eyes, Koga had a knack for melting a girls heart and Kagome had even caught herself staring at him a couple of times. She just wished he cut his damn hair, it was longer than hers!
"Keh it's because you do stupid shit like this Miroku that get people staring at us every fucking morning," said a rough, irritated voice.
Kagome turned to look at Miroku, who was still flirting brazenly with the now flushed girl, before turning her head towards the voice that had just berated Miroku for his antics. Her heart skipped a beat at the man she had adored the instant she saw him during freshmen orientation. Inuyasha Yamamoto, younger brother of Sesshomaru, and illegitimate son of Chairman Yamamoto. Though he was cruelly deemed a "bastard" all throughout childhood, it did not stop the Chairman from adopting Inuyasha after his mother died tragically in a car accident when he was only 12.
Kagome had heard rumors that the atmosphere in the Yamamoto residence was hostile. Inuyasha's stepmother despised his existence and only acknowledged him during social events. His older half-brothers treatment of him was no kinder. Sesshomaru was alleged to have tried to drown Inuyasha when he first moved into the Yamamoto residence. Kagome didn't know how true the rumors were but she wouldn't put it past Sesshomaru to do something cruel like that.
Kagome's breath caught in her throat the second she caught Inuyasha's amber gaze, but all too soon his eyes left her to face back to the school's entryway.
"Miroku let's go we are going to be late," Inuyasha's agitated voice seemed to have finally registered with his lecherous friend.
Miroku winked at the girl he was shamelessly groping before returning to the side of his friends.
Kagome stared off at the GL4 as they walked into the Academy's entrance, leaving behind a horde of panting females, just as the class bell rang.
'Oh crap!' Kagome started running to the entrance of the school leaving behind Hiten, who seemed like he too had lost track of time staring at the GL4. She was almost to the entrance just about another 6 feet to go. 'Stupid Kagome you're going to be late again and you're going to have to spend the rest of the day being lectured by stupid Mr.…' "Ah Mr. Hideki! What a pleasant surprise to see you this morning. Well I hope you have a nice day bye-bye!" Kagome was just about to walk past the slob of a teacher Mr. Hideki when he rudely cut her off.
"Not so fast Miss. Higurashi! You are going to be spending the rest of the day in my classroom once again learning the importance of being to school on time do you understand me young lady?" Mr. Hideki's furry eyebrows lifted in frustration while he waited for an answer.
Kagome bit her cheek to point out all the other students who were walking past them to go to class, even the asshole Hiten was smugly walking past her and Mr. Hideki. Kagome plastered a fake smile before politely responding, "Yes I understand sir."
With a 'humph' Mr. Hideki turned around to escort her to his classroom. It was a short distance from where they were and as Mr. Hideki opened his classroom door she was not surprised to see it empty.
"Be seated Miss Higurashi while I prepare the video on school readiness." Mr. Hideki's gluttonous body made it hard for him to move about and it almost brought people to pity him. Almost.
Kagome got situated in a desk near the back corner of the classroom, trying to be as far away from Mr. Hideki's horrid stench as possible. She placed her backpack near the side of her desk then rested her head upon her hands before aimlessly following Mr. Hideki's movements. School had just started last month and already she has received 5 tardies, not including todays tardy. The asshole was singling her out but she refused to fight it. No, Kagome just wanted to go through school unnoticed and problem-free. She wasn't even certain her whole ordeal with Hiten was even over but she didn't want to deal with any conflicts. She was attending this prestigious Academy because they needed her to. In order to show good faith that this was a school for all social groups, Cedar Academy offers up a fully-paid scholarship every 4 years to a student who shows exceedingly well academics and school leadership. And unfortunately, they chose her. Kagome's mother didn't even give her a choice, the decision was made and now here she was; garbed in a ridiculously expensive uniform, surrounded by stuck-up rich kids, and teachers who hated her for just being an ordinary ''scholarship student". Kagome hated her new life at Cedar Academy.
Kagome turned her focus back to Mr. Hideki, one such teacher who disliked her for not being like all of her other rich classmates. "Do you need help sir?'' Kagome asked in an earnest tone but was quickly dejected by Mr. Hideki's scowl.
"I'll ask if I need help dammit!" It seemed like Mr. Hideki over-exerted himself and had to sit down to take a breather, panting hysterically.
Kagome sighed and turned to face the window. That was at least one thing good about Cedar Academy. There were large windows all throughout the school and within all of the classrooms. Kagome gazed longingly out the window and prepared for what she knew would be a long day.
…..
When Kagome finally got home it was around 5pm. When she opened the door to her small two-story house, she was instantly greeted by the sweet smell of udon, her favorite dish.
"Kagome, dear, is that you?" Her mother's voice was always so soothing to hear after a harsh day at school.
"Yes mom it's me. I'm going to take a shower real quick before I come down for dinner." Not waiting for a response Kagome ran up to her bedroom, discarded her backpack, and quickly ran into her bathroom. She needed a nice, long bath but the udon was calling her name so a shower would have to do for now. She turned on the shower, giving it time to heat, before undressing. When she was completely undressed, Kagome stared at her reflection. She wasn't the prettiest girl in the world, that jackass Hiten made that abundantly clear, but she knew she wasn't ugly either. Her midnight black hair waved vivaciously, perfectly sculpting the contours of her face. Her light brown eyes were always so bright and lively. Her mind flashed a memory of Inuyasha's face and it caused a tremor of nervousness to run along her spine. 'I wonder if he would think I'm pretty…' Kagome could not stop thinking about him and what kind of man he truly was. She only heard rumors but somehow she knew he wasn't as bad as his evil half-brother. 'Inuyasha…I wish you could see me, as a girl who wants to get to know the real you…' Kagome mentally berated herself for thinking that and then jumped into the shower. After completely washing up, she hastily dried herself and exited her bathroom. Still covered in a bathrobe, Kagome went to her dresser drawers and pulled out some undergarments. The underwear was pink and decorated with Hello Kitty's face all over it and she grabbed the matching bra. It wasn't anything sexy but it fit Kagome's personality adequately and she was content with that. Opening another drawer, Kagome grabbed a yellow tank top and white shorts before rushing out of her room downstairs.
Kagome slowed half-way down the stairs, however, when she saw her mother standing at the half-opened front door talking to someone. Trying to peek at who the intruder might be, she unintentionally stepped on a pile of clothes that were on the stairs, causing her to fall and slide down the remaining stairway.
At the sudden commotion, Mrs. Higurashi let go of the door handle and let the door slide completely open as she rushed to check on Kagome. "Kagome what in the heavens do you think you are doing you silly girl! Are you alright?" Kagome's mother seemed worried about her daughter but Kagome was too concentrated on the person at their door to hear her words. Seeing Kagome's focus, Mrs. Higurashi seemed embarrassed to have neglected to introduce the guest at the door. "Oh forgive me I completely forgot to introduce you…" but before Mrs. Higurashi could continue she was interrupted by Kagome's loud gasp.
"I...Inu…Inuyasha?!"
