Chapter one: The New Kid
"Hey Kagome, I think Hojo likes you. You know, as in more than just a friend." said Yumiko in a small, but comfortable classroom in Shikon High School of the city of Sapporo.
"Oh I know, we've been friends since we were babies, practically." Kagome replied still not knowing where this was getting at.
"No not like that kind of way, Kagome. I mean, haven't you noticed the way he looks at you, treats you, and talks to you?" Sango desperately cried.
A confused look came over Kagome's face.
BRRRRINNNNG!!! Class had started.
Professor Kaede had started class with the usual, "Good Morning," but had continued with an introduction of a new student.
"Class, we have a new student joining us. He came all the way from the capital, Tokyo, and remember that Hanyous are common all over Japan, we just have not had one in this particular school for a long time. Please welcome and show respect to Inu-yasha."
"What a long speech," muttered Miroku, as heads snapped up to see this new hanyou.
Long silvery hair that was possessed not from old age or stress, golden eyes, fangs, claws, and what was that? Ears? DOG ears? Strange. but. CUTE!!!!
Miroku, observant of all the girls in their class, who also understood women in such a way different from any other of the male species, saw all the girls drooling over this new guy. What was it with white hair and dog ears anyways? It just looked freaky. But what??? Sango? What is that girl doing? He saw that Sango included herself in the "staring contest" on Inuyasha. I wonder what she thinks of him.
Hmm. the ears ARE attractive, but his eyes are hard and cruel. he doesn't seem like the hormone driven type, but he's so COLD! Miroku may be a perverted delinquent monkish guy, but at least he's friendly and has a sense of humor thought Sango, as hers and Miroku's eyes met across the classroom. Is it just me, or did I see a sigh of relief coming out of Miroku?
Kikyou, with a determined look on her face whispered to herself, "Mission number 1, my first priority, is this new guy. He is mine!" No one would get this guy before she did. Wary of the other girls' hopeful sighs and other signs of affection, Kikyou had a look around and spotted Kagome, her look-a- like. I have more class, and I'm not letting my "twin" steal him from me. But wait. She doesn't even seem interested in him that way. I always knew she was weird.
His eyes are so hard, and filled with pain. he sure does LOOK different, but seems like any other teenager. Why does he seem so sad? These were the only thoughts that passed Kagome's mind.
The new student had looked up and saw Kagome looking at him. Feh, what's her problem? Giving me such a pitiful look. I came here by my own choice- that first-class private high school next to Tokyo University was good, and money wasn't the reason I came to my parent's hometown. What IS that girl's problem?
Kagome tore her gaze from Inu-yasha, only to meet another one, more cruel and merciless. "He is MINE!" Kikyou mouthed at her. An annoyed flip of her hair was Kagome's only response.
Sooner than any one could expect, it was lunch time.
Kikyou, being the popular, smart, and rich girl that she was, surrounded herself with almost all the girls in Room 5, sophomore's building. "Just shut up for a few seconds about that new boy, Inu-yasha." An excited and anticipating silence came over the girls. Kikyou stated for the second time that day. "Inu-yasha is MINE!!! I claimed him first, and I'll be the first to work on him. He and I were meant to be together." A dreamy look clouded Kikyou's usual cold glare. As abruptly as the soft look came over her eyes, it soon disappeared as she spotted Kagome. Standing up from the small chair, Kikyou walked over to the corner where Kagome and her friend Sango was apparently enjoying their lunch.
A dark shadow came over Kagome's lunch box, which made both of them look up to an angry Kikyou.
"What's up, Kikyou? Long time no see!" Kagome greeted her with a false tone of happiness.
"Whatever, Kagome. I'll just get to the point. Inu-yasha is mine and mine ONLY. If you interfere with him and me, you know what will happen. Get the point?!"
"My, my, Kikyou, you seem in a very joyful mood today. Want some oden?" Sango tried to distract the evil glare of her best friend's nemesis away from Kagome.
Sango's plan was only successful for a second and a half.
"Understand?" Kikyou persisted.
"Calm down, Kikyou. I'm not interested in anybody, especially the new boy." Kagome calmly replied.
"Oh?" sarcasm dripped from Kikyou's voice. "Then what was the look you gave him at the beginning of class?" And with that, Kikyou left as unexpectedly as she had come.
"Hey. what was that look you gave Inu-yasha at the beginning of class?" Sango asked Kagome with an all too interested look in her face.
"I was just looking at him pitifully- I didn't mean to, it just came out. I wonder what her problem is."
"Well, you know, that's just Kikyou. She's the only one I won't dare to ask 'Could you please bear my child' to."
"Ahh!" *smack* "Miroku! If you do that again, you won't live to do anything more!" cried a surprised and furious Sango.
"Oh really? What MORE??? I would like something more with you too- I didn't know you shared my feelings, Sango dear."
"Really, you two, Just cut it out," Interrupted a new voice before Sango could add to the red mark on Miroku's face.
"Oh, Hojo! What's new?" greeted Kagome, trying to mask her anxiety she had recently received from a dangerously scary Kikyou.
Unaware of Kagome's distress, the oblivious class-president, Hojo, shined with hope that Kagome had paid attention to him, and him only. "Nothing much, Kagome, just remember to come to the school radio station after school tommorow- sorry to leave so early guys, but I need to help the new kid become introduced to our beautiful school."
Yup, that was Hojo, alright. Filled with school pride and compassion for the outsiders of our world, he was a good guy, my best friend from age 1. Kagome thought. But sometimes he needs to wake up. Gosh. He would never be any good in politics or public relations. Pitiful... but true.
Walking home with Sango had always been the best time of Kagome's day, until now. She was badgering her about her and Hojo- which was all false, because nothing had come up between them, and no offense meant to Hojo, but she didn't want anything to happen between them. They were just good friends.
Oh Sango, please, just shut up!!! Thought Kagome, but on the outside tried to keep her cool. I'll just ignore her for a while... A lot is on my mind any way. That boy....Inu-Yasha, was his name, right? What was his problem; for a few seconds he seemed to accept my pitying look- even though I never meant to give him one. then he turns around in disgust! Gosh... He needs some serious attitude adjustments. And Kikyou. Why was she so angry with me? Did she notice the exchange of looks I had with Inu-yasha? It didn't even mean anything. Kagome suddenly interrupted her train of thought, as well as Sango's continuation of her and Hojo.
"Are you done talking about Hojo now? If Miroku heard, he would think that you like Hojo instead of him."
The sudden blush that appeared on Sango's cheeks betrayed her feelings for Miroku. What did she see in that perverted guy anyway? Well, "beauty IS in the eyes of the beholder". Hey wait! I think Hojo forgot to tell Inu-yasha to pick an elective! Oh well. I'll tell him later.
Why is Inu-yasha here? What is Kiyou's problem anyway? Why is this elective so important? Is Hojo that stupid? Will this story have a cat-fight? *oh, and to all you inu+kag fans, this is not mainly about Miroku+Sango. We'll have more Inu-yasha next chapter!
"Hey Kagome, I think Hojo likes you. You know, as in more than just a friend." said Yumiko in a small, but comfortable classroom in Shikon High School of the city of Sapporo.
