A/N: I probably won't update the other story, Best Friends, for a while. This idea just popped up in my head for this story, ya no? Well, anyways…I don't own Inuyasha, or Sesshoumaru-sama. Or Kagome, for that matter. Or anyone else. I really hope you review! I love reviews! HAHAHAHAHA! Well, enjoy the story. I'll probably re-name it sometime.
Chapter One
She sat near the back of the class, waiting for the teacher to start. Currently, the old woman was shuffling through papers on her desk, looking for something. She didn't notice that I was new, I guess. Kagome sighed, taking out her notebook and pen. The lady looked up, her brow knitting in deep thought as she stared hard at Kagome. Feeling slightly nervous, Kagome pretended she didn't notice and turned away, watching the group of girls next to her.
"Okay," one started, seeming to be the leader, "when he walks in, everyone bows at the same time, got it?"
The other girls crowded around the leader nodded silently.
"And you all know what we're going to say, right?" she asked excitedly, feigning boredom.
"Hai," the girls answered in unison.
Kagome smiled softly, curiosity shining in her eyes. I wonder who's the special him? The girls, to her, seemed like a bunch of dolls. They each were, in their own way, quite pretty. She continued to watch their antics until she heard the wooden door to the classroom open. Turning to see who it was, she was surprised to find a young boy, probably around age nine, walk into the room. He went directly to the old woman, who was still staring at her in quite a determined way, and he gave her a slip of paper. The woman turned her wise face to the bright little boy. Nodding as he explained something to her, she took the slip and gazed towards Kagome again. She motioned for her to come to the desk up front. Hesitating slightly, Kagome got up from her desk, quickly stuffing the notebook and pen she had taken out earlier into her school bag. She walked quickly to the teacher, bowing slightly.
"Are you Kagome?" the woman asked with a firm voice, hinted with wisdom and kindness.
"Yes, I am," Kagome answered, tilting her head forward. "I'm new."
"Yes, so you are," the woman answered absently, glancing down at the slip of paper. "You will be shadowing one of the students, today. He has the same schedule as you."
Kagome nodded politely, receiving the slip from the old woman's hand. Looking to her desk, she found that the teacher's name was Kaede. Strange…there's no last name. Shrugging slightly, she returned to her seat, unfolding the sheet of paper with her class information. She found that the student she was shadowing was named Inuyasha. Well, that's a strange name. While she was off in her dreamland, wondering about the strange boy's name, the little boy from earlier came up to her, watching her curiously.
"Hey!" he called, snapping her back to the real world.
"Hmm?" she said, turning to look calmly at him.
The small boy had red, scraggly hair on top of his head. Two wide, curious eyes looked up at the teenage girl, questioning her origin. Kagome smiled, thinking how cute he looked.
"Hello there!" she greeted.
"Hi!" he chirped. "You look like you're a nice person!"
"I don't know, maybe I am," she said, smiling brightly at him. "What's your name?"
"I'm Shippou!" he said, holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Kagome!"
"Nice to meet you, too! What are you doing here? You don't look like fifteen at all."
"No, I'm nine," he said happily. "My dad works here, so I help out a little."
"Oh, okay," she said, glancing warily at Kaede, who was walking towards them.
"Shippou!" Kaede barked, "You should be getting back to your father!"
"Okay," Shippou muttered dejectedly. "Bye Kagome!"
With that, he ran off. Kagome sighed, taking out her pen and notebook again, writing down 'Inuyasha' at the top. I wonder what he looks like? Can't very well follow him if I don't know who he is. She turned to Kaede, tapping her lightly on the shoulder.
"Um," she started as the woman turned around, "what does Inuyasha look like?"
The woman smiled crookedly. "The only thing you need to know is his name."
Kagome raised an eyebrow in confusion. Accepting the answer, she went back to her seat as the door opened once again. In stepped a tall man, or boy rather, with long silvery hair that flowed to his waist. At first, Kagome was confused of the beautiful man's gender. Looking closer at the shape of his face, she found that he was, indeed, a male. Well, he is wearing a boys' uniform. She heard the stampede of feet behind her. Moving just in time, she saw the crowd of girls from before move up to the man. They all bowed in unison, each one greeting him like their own master. As if he hadn't noticed, the man brushed past them, gliding gracefully over to a seat near her. Hmm. Must be where he sits everyday. I don't think that would be Inuyasha. Glancing over him once, she confirmed her hypothesis. Nope. Doesn't live up to that name at all. For a silent moment, Kagome wondered why anyone would name his or her child 'Dog Demon.' All of a sudden, the door slammed open, a livid-looking boy standing at the door, fuming. Kagome blinked. This boy looked a lot like that beautiful man. Looking from one to the other, she found that they looked almost nothing alike, now. They were completely different from each other. One had a quiet menace about him, and the other was just, well, 'don't-touch-me-when-I'm-angry.'
"Sesshoumaru!" the boy at the door screamed, seemingly in her direction.
Glancing around, she found that he was talking to the gorgeous guy. So his name's Sesshoumaru, huh? Cocking her head slightly, she watched the little disagreement.
"Yes?" Sesshoumaru answered coolly, no emotion evident on his pale face. His amber eyes shone with intelligence and mild amusement.
"What are you doing here?!" the boy screamed, this time louder.
"Well, maybe that would be because I'm in this class?" Sesshoumaru suggested, amusement unconcealed in his expression.
The boy was red in the face by now. He, too, had long, silvery hair and brilliant amber eyes. But, that's where the similarities ended. Sesshoumaru had an air of confidence and elegance around him. The boy was just, well, threatening, physically. A rebellious air also lingered around him. He must be Inuyasha. Kagome, awakened by the new idea, observed him carefully, curious about what kind of person the boy really was.
The boy growled, stalking up to Sesshoumaru. "Did you do this on purpose?" he questioned, teeth clenched tightly together.
"I would ask you the same thing," Sesshoumaru answered coolly, his stoical mask on.
"What is THAT supposed to mean?" Boy asked, fists raised.
"Don't start a fight, Inuyasha," he replied, resting his chin on his hand.
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Inuyasha asked, more loudly.
"It means that I'm surprised you got into the higher classes," Sesshoumaru said monotonously.
Inuyasha looked like he was going to turn Hell inside out. Kagome decided to do something before the two brawled it out.
"Inuyasha!" she called, making the two males turn their heads to her.
Kagome made her way over to the, now, confused boy. "Hi!" she greeted, bowing slightly. "I'm gonna shadow you for today. So, I thought you might want to meet me."
Gazing up at him, she found that he was still confused. "I'm Kagome Higurashi," she said kindly, extending her hand to him. "It's nice to meet you, Inuyasha."
Confusion turned to surprise on the angry boy's face. "Umm, yeah, nice to meet you, too." It looked like he had calmed down considerably. Now, he looked a bit nervous. After studying her for a bit, recognition flashed in his eyes. "Kikyou?"
"What?" Kagome asked, surprised at hearing her twin sister's name. Kikyou's been dead for two years, now. She DID go to a different school than me. I mean, after our parents divorced, dad took her, mom took me. Maybe Inuyasha liked her? She came crashing back to reality when she felt herself in the arms of someone. Freezing, she found that Inuyasha had thrown his arms around her and was now hugging her tightly.
"What are you doing?" Kagome said irritably.
"Kikyou! I missed you so much!" he yelled, hugging her more tightly.
Kagome's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "I. Am. Not. Kikyou." She said slowly, teeth clenched.
Inuyasha seemed not interested in what she was saying, going on and on about how much he had missed her presence.
Her eyes flashed malevolently, aware that everyone in the class was watching them with wide eyes, except for Sesshoumaru. "My name is Kagome!" she screamed in his ear, which was right next to her cheek. He jumped back, surprised, and Kagome heard a few giggles through the classroom. Now, Kagome was the one fuming. "Don't EVER call me by that name again!" she screamed, stalking back to her desk.
I can't believe I have to follow this creep around all day. She glared back at the confused figure standing by the door. "Do you understand?" she called from her desk, firmness clearly ringing in her tone.
He walked over to her desk, leaning down until he was almost nose-to-nose with her. He seemed to be studying her closely. "You're right," he said defeatedly, "You're not Kikyou." He stood up straight and started walking away.
"No, I'm her twin sister," Kagome snapped.
"Really?"
"Yes!"
Kagome turned away from the brat, determined not to start too much of a fight on her first day. She heard the bell chime it's music three times, signaling the start of class. Smirking, she saw that Inuyasha had not been in his seat, and therefore, was tardy. Out of the corner of her eyes, she also saw a small smirk on Sesshoumaru's face. So the emotionless statue has come to life. Her smirk widened as she thought of that.
"Kagome!" Kaede called, snapping her attention back.
"Yes?" she answered, gazing steadily at the old woman.
"There's been a mistake," she said, glancing down at a slip of paper in her hands, "Inuyasha does NOT have the same schedule as you. You are to shadow Sesshoumaru, being he is a much or conscientious student. It would suit you better."
Kagome blanched. Sesshoumaru? What about all his fan girls? She glanced over at the stoical figure near her. Forcing a smile, she nodded to the teacher and stared blankly at her notebook. This is going to be a long day. I have to shadow some arrogant, popular, gorgeous…
The list went on for a while until the bell signaled the end of the first class. She gathered her things and quickly followed Sesshoumaru out the door. He seemed oblivious to her presence, as if she was one of his fan girls.
"Hey!" she called to him, running to his side.
"What?" he answered irritably.
"What relation do you have to Inuyasha?" she asked, gazing up at him. He's TALL.
"None of your business," he snapped, losing his monotonous voice and mask.
"Sure it is. He called me by my twin sister's name," she reasoned, waving a hand to dispel his comment.
"You weren't lying?" he questioned, showing no obvious interest in the matter.
"No, I never lie," she said, following him through the doors of another class.
Behind them, nine girls fumed, their pretty faces contorted with disgust. One of them let out their fury first.
"Why is it that he talks to HER?!" she screamed, stalking off.
"What's so special about THAT girl?!" another two said, also stomping away.
"We are MUCH better!" three assured, walking off to hatch an evil scheme.
"Long live the Sesshoumaru-sama fan club!" the rest chanted, holding their fists up in the air. "We WILL prevail!"
Kagome heard the screaming outside, causing a large sweat drop to appear at the side of her head. "Your fan club, I presume?" she asked.
"Aren't you one of them?" he asked, bored.
"Never would I idolize you," she said, turning and going to the back of the classroom.
Sesshoumaru stared after the girl. So, I've got a rebel, huh? Interesting…
