This is my first fanfic!! Yay! (Please don't go, at least give it a chance! ^_____^)

I will only say this once through my whole story because it is so heart breaking. Also, I know you are not SO stupid as to think that a wonderful piece of art, such as Inuyasha, would belong to me! *Starts crying*

*Ahem* anyway, now that that's over with… on with the story!

-----------------------------------

"Kagoooooooome!" her mother called to her, "time to wake up! You don't want to be late for your first day of school, do you?"

"Hhhmm…" Kagome mumbled and flipped over. After a while, her mother's words hit her like a ton of bricks. She bolted upright from her bed, flinging the covers everywhere. "KYAAAAAA!!!! WHAT TIME IS IT?" She looked down at her alarm clock. '5:56 am'.

"Don't worry, dear," her mother said calmly from downstairs, "you've plenty of time. I just wanted you to wake up early enough so you could get every thing ready for the first day of your brand new school." Kagome's eye started to twitch. 'She sounds more excited about this than I am!' she thought, as her mom started to call to wake up her brother Souta. 'Oh well, might as well take a bath while I'm up.'

"Now Kagome, every thing will be just fine, don't worry, just stay calm and every thing will be just fine. Do you understand? It will be just fine."

"I understand, mom. You said the same thing to Souta before you dropped him off. May I go now?" Kagome asked, or rather pleaded. They were at her school now and they had dropped Souta off at his a few blocks down.

"Yes, yes, of course. Have fun at school, dear. I love you!"

"Love you too, Mom," Kagome said as she got out the car, lugging her famous yellow backpack with her.

The school was HUGE compared to her old one, with a large clock just above the main entrance. She gaped at it for a few moments, and started to walk towards the doors. The school yards contained some very odd-looking . . . people? Some had long and pointy ears, some had tails, others had different hair color she was sure that could not natural, but most of the students were just regular people. She laughed quietly to herself. It was as if it was a mixture school! The type with humans and youkai. However, that was just absurd. 'Eh, eh,' she laughed rather nervously to herself, 'a school full of youkai and humans. Riiiiiiiiiight. That would go over swell. Ha ha…EEEH!' Kagome nearly fainted. Beside the door, in front of her very eyes was a sign in big bold letters,

Shikon High School Home of Youkai and humans alike Can't we all just get along?

'Wha . . .? I can't believe this! How… what…but…arrrrrgh!' while her brain was going over her misfortune her body automatically walked her to the office. She wasn't sure how she did it, but all of a sudden, she was at the office desk, with a very dazed look on her face.

"Excuse me?" the lady asked politely. That seemed to get Kagome back down to earth. The lady had short blue hair with purple eyes. Kagome thought she looked very beautiful, but snapped herself out of it with a shake of her head.

"S-sorry, um, I'm Higurashi Kagome, and I'm a new student," she said nervously.

"Oh! Yes, I know you . . . Well not really, you just walked in and every thing, so how can I know you? I mean really, sometimes I just get so ditzy!"

"Suki…" an energetic voice sounded behind her and the lady stopped instantly. "Sorry about her, sometimes she doesn't know when to stop talking." A very, very short man popped up behind Suki and it scared the poopies out of Kagome. (not literally you grossos.) He was about an inch tall and looked strangely like a …flea?

"Hello, young lady, I'm Myouga, the school councilor. I hope you feel comfortable at our school. It really is a nice school once you get used to it." The lady seemed to be trying to hold back some strained laughter. Her eyes were closed and her face was turning red. She had her hands over her mouth but she couldn't keep it in any longer. She burst out laughing. "HA! HA! HA! HA! A-*snort* *laugh* *laugh*- a nice school! *snort* *laugh* *laugh*" Kagome looked puzzled while Myouga sulked on the desk, his pride flattened as tall as him.

"Uh, did I miss something?" a young girl asked as she stood in the doorway. She stared at Suki. Kagome caught sight of her and smile shyly then turned away quickly. Suki calmed down, but it happened after some time.

"Sango," Suki said with a polite nod.

'So that's her name,' Kagome thought.

"Sango," said Suki with a wicked glint in her eye, "Myouga said this was a nice school after you got used to it." Sango snickered for a moment.

"Oh, it is. Really it is. How long has it taken you to get used to it?"

Myouga, still sulking, glared in her direction.

'What kind of school is this?' Kagome thought.

"AHEM!" he said, trying to change the subject "ANYway," he turned toward Kagome but kept an eye on the other two women, "Sango agreed to help you the first few weeks of school. Here is your schedule, locker number, combo and any thing else you might need to know. If you have any trouble what so ever, just contact me. Good day to you Kagome." He stressed Kagome's name so as to hint to the other girls he was mad at them, and with that he took an amazing leap off the desk and behind an opened door. It slammed shut.

Sango turned toward Kagome with a pleasant smile plastered on her face. "Well, Kagome, let's go. We don't want to be late for our first class of the year because of that little *snicker* 'joke'."

"All right," and the two girls made their way to the lockers.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

"So, why, exactly are you here?" Sango asked trying her best not to sound rude, "I mean, it's sort of odd that you're a transfer student, PLUS you came very late in the year."

"Well, to make a long story short, my father was killed."

"Oh, I understand," Sango said, her voice sad and low, and her face a tangled mass of sorrow. Kagome couldn't put her finger on it but the way Sango spoke told her how very much Sango understood. It made Kagome want to keep telling Sango about her goal.

"We aren't sure how it happened, but we found him by his police car. Someone had rigged a bag of fine glass that somehow tore when he opened the car door. Father breathed in the glass and, well, he died."

Sango looked over at Kagome. Kagome had a fierce fire in her eye that Sango had never seen before. It was filled with love, sorrow, pain, and hatred, and she was sure that fire burned in her own eyes at times. Kagome's fists were clenched tightly and she trembled from her emotions. Sango laid a reassuring hand on Kagome's shoulder.

"Those bastards are going to pay." Sango could barely hear what Kagome said. She barely believed the words . Kagome seemed like a sweet and caring woman but the hate she bore for her father's murderers was feirce.

Sango could understand the pain of loss, but not revenge. Her family had just died. No one killed them. Or did they? What the police told her sounded so far away and yet so true she didn't know what to believe nor did she have time to think about it. Sango had moved from foster home to foster home, never truly getting along with her foster-parents. She was so confused. Of course, she never had to change schools since there were so many families in such a small area. How did her family die? Was it just a fire that killed them? Sango never did learn how the fire started, and the police never said.

Sango and Kagome and been so lost in thought that neither of them felt the tender loving touch they had received on their butts… until the hands responsible started to squeeze….
