"Remember to read chapters one and two for Monday!" the teacher, Ms. Haruna, yelled as the last bell rang and the class herded out like a wild animal was chasing them.

Kagome Higurashi waited in her seat until the class was pretty much gone. She had fuigured out a long time ago that waiting was better than getting run over. She grabbed her books and walked out. Thank goodness it's Friday! I have so much to catch up on! Let's see, there's Math, Science, Social... she thought, not paying attention to where she was going.

A boy walked past her, well, more collided with her. "Oof!" she said before dropping all her books.

The boy looked back with a smirk on his face, expecting her to be angry, but for some reason her eyes seemed more sad. Her lips might have been pursed and she looked angry to everyone else, but it still made his heart wrench. He knelt down and handed her her Math book.

Kagome took the book gingerly, Who's this? she wondered, looking up. She let out a small gasp as she saw vivid golden eyes, covered by silver hair. P-probably just contacts and hair dye. she thought numbly. She shook her head and smiled at him, "Thanks," she said.

"Sorry about that," he said quietly and stood up, putting his hands in his pockets. "Hey, haven't I seen you before?" he asked.

"We're in most of our classes together. When you show up that is," she replied with a small smile and stood up, checking him out. He was wearing a loose-fitting black Harley t-shirt with a red design, blue jeans, and Adidas tennis shoes. Completely against school dress code.

The boy smiled at the girl's comment. He constantly skipped class, "Anyways, I'm InuYasha," he told her.

"Kagome," he said politely, even though she already knew his name. She hugged her books close to her, "Thank you for helping me pick up my books!" she said quikly as she walked away, feeling the beginings of a blush. Wait.....why am I blushing? she thought.

InuYasha stared off at her as she walked away, slightly surprised at the quick retreat. "Kagome, eh?" he muttered to no one and went to get his stuff.
