Chapter 1: Meetings

This has been drastically updated from the original version. I will be updated all other chapters and stories. Thank you

…

Hi y'all yes another new story. It's in present day. The demons are demons, half-demons are half-demons, and humans are humans. They're in school and everyone fears Sesshomaru. Even the girls. Still eye candy to them but afraid to approach him.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

…

Today was Kagome's first day at her new school. Her father and another guy joined their companies together, so they moved to Tokyo. Kagome didn't really like where she lived so she had no complaints about the move. Right now Kagome was in the front office getting her schedule.

"Here you go Ms Kagome." the lady at the front desk handed Kagome her schedule and map of the school after having gone over the normal formalities of a new student.

"Thank you." Kagome took the papers, then left the front office in search of her first class. Walking down the hallways, she began to receive looks from her fellow students. From the guys it was 'Oh a new girl' and from the girls it was 'bitch'.

Kagome ignored any looks or comments sent her way, and continued down the hallway. Her first class was Home Room. It wasn't much of class, more of the first thing students went to in the morning. Kagome introduced herself to the teacher, and then was direct to her seat. She waited for her other classmates and decided to practice drawing. She was immersed in her drawing when she noticed a flash of silver hair pass by her.

Kagome glanced up to see a student walking to a seat in the back with long, silky silver hair. She watched as he sat down and began to read. She was mesmerized by the color and how elegantly his hair flowed. She didn't realize she was still gawking at this guy or for how long, until he glanced up at her. Kagome turned away embarrassed and went back to her art.

The final bell announcing the beginning of class rang and the room was soon full of chatty students. The teacher took attendance, and everyone looked at Kagome when her name was called. Hushed conversations rang out in the room, the teacher got everyone to calm down and finished attendance. After attendance and a few announcements the students got up and started on their home room chores. Kagome went up to the teacher's desk and asked what she needed to do.

"Um…" The teacher said scrolling down the seating chart. "It looks like Mr. Ishimoto doesn't have a home room buddy yet. You can help him clean the windows."

The teacher pointed to Mr. Ishimoto, who was hard to miss as he was the student with the silver hair. Kagome made her way to the window, and waited patiently for Mr. Ishimoto to acknowledge her.

After a few moments Kagome cleared her throat, "Uh Mr. Ishimoto. Mrs. Akiyama said I could help you clean the windows."

Mr. Ishimoto turned and looked at Kagome, then went back to cleaning the windows. Kagome didn't know what to do or say. Did he not want her help? Did her gawking at him freak him out, and now he wished she wasn't here? She looked over to her other classmates and watched as they swept, dusted, and disinfected the classroom. They were all chatting and playing around.

"Do you need directions on how to clean a window?" Mr. Ishimoto snapped without looking away from the window.

"Oh sorry I um…" Kagome trailed off. She picked up some paper towels, cleaning spray and started cleaning the windows. They worked in silence as everyone else chatted away. Kagome stretched as tall as she could to reach the top of the window. She wasn't paying attention to where she stepped and tripped over her own feet. She closed her eyes and let out a squeak bracing for the floor. Instead she landed into two arms. Kagome opened her eyes to see two golden ones staring down at her.

It felt like eternity to Kagome staring up into this eyes, in his arms. She soon realized how quite the room had gotten. She tore her gaze away from Mr. Ishimoto and glanced around the class room to see why it had fallen silent. Everyone, including the teacher, were staring at the two. Everyone was wide eyes, with mouths open shocked at the pair. Mr. Ishimoto corrected Kagome and went back to cleaning the window like nothing had happened.

Kagome went back to cleaning as well. Still slightly embarrassed she muttered out, "Thank you, Mr. Ishimoto."

"Sesshomaru."

"What?" She asked looking at him.

"My name is Sesshomaru."

"Kagome!" She greeted back with a slight smile. He still wasn't paying attention to her. He just wanted to get this tedious job out of the way so he could get back to more important things. Honestly Sesshomaru didn't know why he caught Kagome. He had just met her, if you could call any of their interactions a meeting. He chalked it up to a reaction to something falling.

In no time everyone was done with their Home Room chores. They all began to socialize, study, talk about the upcoming fall festival. Sesshomaru found himself looking towards Kagome every time he heard her laugh. He was getting rather agitated about this. He was happy when they bell finally dismissed the class. He could rid himself of this girl.

Kagome collected her things and moved onto her next class, Sketching II. She felt at home in art class. Art was how she found herself and was able to express herself at times when she did not know how. In Sketching II, she meet a few more friends. Some of the guys in the class tried to flirt with her, but she didn't give them the time of day. Her mind kept wondering back to Sesshomaru and his silky hair.

Since Kagome was a senior, she had few classes she needed to take before graduation. She had her Home Room, Sketching II, two core classes, and two study time slots. She was heading to the library for her first studies class. Since today was her first day, she didn't have anything to work on. Instead she worked on her drawings. She picked a table by a window to look for inspiration. Kagome was off in her own thoughts, and didn't notice a guy sitting down at her table.

"Hi." He said.

Kagome looked over and saw a 'My dad's lawyer can get me out of this' look. She greeted him back with a tone for him to leave.

"I'm Kyle. I haven't had the pleasure." He said with a big grin.

"Kagome." She stated, still holding her previous tone.

"You are the most exquisite being I have ever laid my eyes on. It would be my honor to take you out this evening." He picked up her hand of the table and kissed it. Kagome yanked back her hand and whipped off his kiss.

Kagome didn't notice but Sesshomaru was in the library at this time and had caught the whole scene. Something inside him wanted to go over there and save her from her current situation. At the same time she was just a human, why should he care what happens to her. This strange feeling this human kept giving him was beginning to get on his nerves. Before he needed to make a choice two girls sat down at the table causing the guy to leave.

A few moments before hand at the table,

"As much as that sounds appealing, Kyle." She emphasized his name with distain in her voice. "I have better plans this evening."

Before Kyle could protest, Kagome's new friends from Sketching II arrived at the table.

"Are you picking on the new girl?" Mari asked.

"Yeah, leave Kagome alone. And whatever it is, the answer is no." Yumi shooed Kyle away taking his seat as he sulked off. Kagome watched Kyle walk off with his tail between his legs, when a flash of silver caught her eye. She meet Sesshomaru's gaze. It felt like an eternity before he walked away. Yumi and Mari noticed who Kagome was staring at.

"No Kagome." Yumi said. "You can't like him. Don't even look at him."

"Why?" Kagome asked quizzically. They had a small, one would say pleasant conversation in Wood Shop.

"He's an Ishimoto." Mari stated with such seriousness.

"Am I supposed to know what that means?" Kagome questioned. He was obviously a demon with the silver hair, golden eyes, and markings on his face. Although Kagome new of demons and had meet a few in her days, her previous city was a small town with mainly humans.

"The Ishimoto's are one of the last pure blood top level demons in Japan." Mari stated as if it was obvious. "They barely interact with humans let alone date one."

"My dad's a demon, and just the name alone has him in fear. Don't waste your time chasing a fool's wish. You're lucky he didn't chop your head off just for staring at him." Yumi said.

"Would he really do that?" Kagome asked recalling their small interaction earlier in the day without any bloodshed.

"Yes!" Yumi explained. "We heard one time a student accidently bumped his chair and the next thing that student was chopped up and shoved in a locker. It took weeks to clean up all the blood."

"That doesn't make since." Kagome stated. "Wouldn't he be in jail or at least expelled from school? How could he kill someone in broad daylight with no one saying or doing anything?"

"He and his family are so powerful. He could kill the Prime Minister on day time television and no one would do anything. Rather it's true or not, you just don't interact with him."

Kagome agreed with her new friends, but a part of her deep down felt they were wrong. He didn't seem menacing and was decent to her, a human, this morning. Kagome and her friends chatted the rest of the class before they went off to lunch. Lunch went on without in issues. All three friends had different classes, so they parted ways

Kagome was very lost and didn't know where her class was. By the time she found it, class had already been in session for about five to ten minutes. She sneaked into her Literature IV lesson hoping not to be seen. However all eyes fell upon her the instant the door opened.

"I do not tolerate tardiness in my class miss." The teacher sternly stated.

"Sorry sir." Kagome squeaked out. "I couldn't find the classroom."

"Fine fine. Whatever. Take a seat. We are on chapter twenty-one."

Kagome swept the classroom looking for a chair. Instead she found Sesshomaru sitting in the back row. He was staring out the window not paying attention to the teacher. Her friend's warnings were going through her mind, but something about him kept drawing her in.

"Do you need help finding your seat?" the teacher snapped. Everyone began laughing at Kagome as she made her way to her seat. "Okay settle down class, back to work."

The teacher continued on with his lecture. Kagome got out her note pad, textbook and began taking notes. She couldn't help herself but glance over at Sesshomaru. There was a row in between the two. When she looked over, he was already staring at her. He didn't say anything or make any motions in her direction just staring. He eventually looked away. Kagome lingered a bit more before getting back to her studies. All during class she couldn't help but glance his way. A few times she could have sworn he was looking at her.

When class was over Kagome rushed out of the room to get to math class. Yumi was in her class and stated she would save her a seat and lend her the class notes. She was so much in a rush, she ran straight into Kyle.

"Well if it ain't my angle from before. Have you changed your mind about tonight?" Kyle asked stroking her hair.

Kagome slapped his hand away. "No! I'm leaving my class and you're blocking the exit."

"It was obviously fate that landed you back in my lap." At this moment Sesshomaru walked past them, giving them a look as he did. "Do you know him?"

"Not really. We have Home Room together. The teacher paired us up." Kagome shrugged.

Kyle seemed concern. "You should watch yourself around him. He doesn't take to kindly to humans or half demons like me. You should stay close to someone who will appreciate you."

"And that's supposed to be you? Thank you for your concern but I can handle myself." Kagome stomped off and headed to math. This classroom wasn't as hard to find. She was grateful to know someone in the classroom. Yumi waved her over.

"How was literature?" Yumi asked.

"It was… interesting." Kagome pressed her lips together.

"Oh! How so?" Yumi was staring wide eyed looking for any juicy gossip. Kagome didn't know if she should mention Sesshomaru. Her new friends seemed so dead set against it.

"Oh nothing. I was just late which was rather embarrassing." Kagome waved it off.

"Oh." Yumi sulked hoping for more than that. Yumi handed Kagome her notes, which she thanked her for greatly. The two chatted while the rest of their classmates flooded in. It was cutting close to the bell when the last bit of stragglers waltzed in, one of them being Sesshomaru. Kagome had noticed of course. He was not one to blend into the background. He seemed agitated from now and their previous class. Kagome wondered what could have upset him, and if the rumors her friends told were true.

Sesshomaru was irritated, with himself. He barely knew this woman and here he was jealous that a man was touching her. He cursed his father for this weakness seeming to be creeping into him. He found his father a fool for taking on a human wife. Some of the other full blooded demons found this a weakness in his father. He would not be like his father. Sesshomaru vowed he would not acknowledge this woman the rest of their time together during their last year of school. Yet during class he found himself wanting to glance at Kagome every time he heard her speak or laugh. He didn't , however each time he wanted to only irritated him more.

Eventually class was over and Sesshomaru rushed out to avoid Kagome. Kagome's last class was her second study time. She found a table and began going over her assignments for the day. She must of lost track of time, because next thing she knew it was way past the end of school.

'Isn't there a bell to indicate class and school are over?' she thought to herself. She shrugged it off thinking she gets too distracted easily and must not have heard it. Kagome collected her things and headed to her locker. She collected her belongings from her locker and headed outside. Glancing at her phone she expected a text or missed call from her father, but there was none. She dialed out to him instead with no answer or a reply to her text to him. He was always busy with work and just started a new business adventure. He had promised to pick her up on her first day though which saddened Kagome. She waited outside on a bench hoping he was on his way.

A little while later Sesshomaru walked out of school having stayed late to finish up a last minute task, when he spotted Kagome. Sesshomaru stood there for a few moments looking at her. He had this urge inside him to go up to her. At the same time he just wanted to walk away and forget her existence. Sesshomaru was planning on leaving when he noticed how sad she looked. She kept checking her phone and looking around. Before he knew it, he was already headed in her direction.

Sesshomaru stood there staring at the back of her head still fighting internally why he was here and he really should turn and leave. He was about to leave when Kagome stood and almost turned into him.

"Oh," She said taking a step back. "I'm sorry."

Sesshomaru stayed quite for a bit making for some uncomfortable silence. Since he didn't say anything and she didn't know if she blocked his way, Kagome started to walk away.

"Are you waiting for someone?" He strained out. His mind instantly went to the boy from before.

"Sort of." Kagome looked down at her phone and sighed. This gave Sesshomaru a twinge of jealous in his gut. He hated it. Kagome carried on saying, "My father was supposed to pick me up. But I think he forgot or became distracted with his work."

Kagome shrugged. Sesshomaru felt relieved at this information, yet still irritated with himself for feeling this way. Irritated with Kagome for making him feel this way. And yet at the same time he wasn't.

"Do you have a way of getting home?" He asked.

"Not really. Its just my father and I. I'm still new to the city, and don't know the bus routes that well yet." Kagome shrugged again. This isn't the first time this has happened to her. Although she was sad he didn't show up on time like promised, what could she do. "My father will get me eventually when he realizes the time."

Part of Sesshomaru wanted to walk away. She had a ride, she wasn't his responsibility. Why did he care? The other part of him wanted to make sure she was safe. Not here sitting around until dark and forced to walk home alone.

"Where do you live?" He asked.

"Um… Highwater Tower. I don't know the streets or the name of the neighborhood yet."

"I know where that is. I can drop you off."

"I don't want to trouble you. I can wait. It's no worry."

Here was another excuse for Sesshomaru to walk away and forget her, but he couldn't.

"I'm headed that way. It's just a stop." Sesshomaru stated.

"If you're sure. I would appreciate it." Kagome followed Sesshomaru to his car. It was a very nice sports car. Kagome didn't know why she expected something else. She was told he is one of the top full blooded demons in japan, that's has to mean there is money to back them up. But still he was a student. Kagome got into the car and tried not to slam any doors or accidently bump things in case he got mad.

Sesshomaru speed out of the parking lot, passing cars on the road with ease. Demons had better reflexes than humans, and driving was one of the simplest task one could perform. To Kagome though all she could see was her life passing her by with each blur in the window. She didn't want to say anything because he was doing her a favor. She just wished he would slow down.

Which he did once they hit Tokyo traffic, and Kagome had never been so happy. No one spoke. The radio wasn't even on which made for some uncomfortable silence. Kagome felt like she should say something, but at the same time she didn't know what.

"Um… so do you live around here?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru glanced at her. "Yes."

There was more awkward silence before Kagome tried to create more conversation. "Have you lived here long?"

"Yes."

He didn't seem to want to talk, so Kagome sat there silently lacing and unlacing her fingers. Sesshomaru didn't know what to say to her. He refused to sound like an idiot, and small talk was a waste of time. Soon enough they were at Highwater Towers. Sesshomaru pulled into the front entrance, where a doorman opened the door for Kagome.

"Ms. Higurashi." The doorman greeted.

"Thank you!" Kagome stated. Sesshomaru nodded in recognition. The doorman helped Kagome with her things and assisted her out of the car.

"Are we needing valet services this evening Mr. Ishimoto?" The doorman asked.

"Not today." Sesshomaru answered. The doorman bowed to Sesshomaru, closing the door. He drove away leaving the two behind.

"You know Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked the doorman, still new to this high level full blooded demon thing.

"Yes Ms. Higurashi. Everyone knows the Ishimoto family. Young master Sesshomaru will take over the family business once he finishes he's studies. His family owns this building. The Ishimoto's are my boss."

"Oh." Was all Kagome could come up with.

"You have a nice day Ms. Higurashi. If young master Sesshomaru was willing to give you a ride home, you must be really special." The doorman smiled as he held the door open for Kagome. This was not the kind of day Kagome expected when she woke up. She thanked the doorman and headed upstairs to finish her school work.

…

Thank you all for reading my story for the first time or re-reading it since I completely gut the thing. I would like to apologize for my long absence, and for my writing when I was sixteen. I re-read it myself and was like wtf was I thinking.

Anyways since I wrote this story I bought Inuyasha The Final Act. And if you have never seen it, I highly recommend it because one of the best scenes out of the entire series/movie franchise is in the last episode. Sesshomaru drops of his gifts for Rin. On his way out Kagome sees him and yells out to him, "BYE BIG BROTHER." And the look on Sesshomaru's face is 'Why the F do I deal with these humans. I so wish I could kill them'. It's priceless. I love it.

Anyways thank you again, be safe, and have a wonderful day!
