That took forever!!! Ahhhh!!! So. Annoyed... My muse took a vacation. He
had a great time while I sat here, fretting about the story and how I
needed to write. Then he came trotting back and started insulting what I
had down! Lord, sometimes I wonder why I bother with him. All he is is an
abusive mutt that eats all my food.
*I resent that remark, I am certainly not a mutt!*
Yeah sure. Whatever. Mutt..

Kagome groaned as the warm sun hit her eyes and set them flickering open. Wait, sun? It shouldn't be bright out yet, it way too early. Yet the birds were singing energetically in their tree next to her window, and she wasn't as tired as she usually was in the morning. Huh. She had even stayed up later than usual, she should be exhausted. Tossing aside the bed covers she squinted to where her little purple digital clock lay on her bedside table. 7:00am. Ah. That's why it was so bright out. She was extremely late. No, she pondered, not extremely late. Horribly, disastrously, extremely late. The moment of calm passed and she leaped out of bed to get going. Her mind raced, how could she have slept in again? Why did these things happen to her? Why? She could smell the scent of waffles downstairs that meant her mom and grandpa were up, why hadn't they woken her? Honestly, did they ever wonder where she was? Since her brain was preoccupied with it's moaning and groaning her feet were on autopilot. This usually went fine; she had gone through her morning routine many, many times before. This time however she encountered a slight problem. The stairs. And a toy car. As most people know, that is a bad mix. About half way through Kagome tripped and went down, just barely catching herself before she hit the bottom landing. Well, she thought, that's one way to get down faster. Shakily she pulled herself up, yelled a hasty goodbye to her mom and walked out the doors.
Inuyasha wasn't doing too much better than Kagome that morning. He didn't fall down any stairs though. He wasn't even late at first, he was early in fact, but he and his father had gotten to have that talk he'd been so eager to have. Right before he left for school. Unfortunately this not only made him late, but it didn't actually go as planned. Then again, what 'talk' would go well with an absolute dictator for a father? He fumed as he trotted towards school. Trying to tell him what to do all the time. Would it never end? His mind went back to the conversation with his dad.
"Son, could we talk for a minute? It's important." Uh oh. Inuyasha heard that tone in his fathers' voice. He turned around, wary. He was right to be wary. The following speech, yes, speech, was not something he was going to like to hear. What his dad basically said was that other than school he could go nowhere and meet no one. He couldn't even go out for a burger. They were in town. Hunting for his dad and brother. They knew about Inuyasha, so he was in danger too. He tried arguing they wouldn't care about him, having not done anything and being so young. Humans could be very sentimental when it came to 'children'. Hah. Unfortunately daddy dearest would have none of it. Also, if his father saw him breaking any of those rules the consequences would be severe. He didn't say what he would do, but Inuyasha believed him. Wonderful. His social life was over, not that he had much of one to begin with. It was just the principal of the thing that irked him, making him want to go out just to spite his father. Yeah. He had yet another ingenious plan, (A/N: some would say idiotic.)
Kagome sprinted through the doors of her school, and immediately went flying for the second time that morning. Looking up she saw that she had run into a kid in front of her. She opened her mouth to blurt out a quick apology and be on her way, but the guy (she now recognized him to be Inuyasha) seemed to be so lost in thought he hadn't even noticed her. He just wandered down the hall. Weirdo. How could you not notice when someone ran into you full speed? How could he have the gall to not even fall down or help her up. or something!? What a snot, she guessed he was too good to fall on his face like any normal or decent person. Scowling, she scrambled up and walked in a more dignified manner to the office to get a late slip.
A she walked into first period she glanced around, but remembered that this was P.E and Inuyasha had a different class. After berating herself for thinking so much about him again she walked into the locker room and got changed. Ah the smell of a locker room. Just what you want to smell early in the morning. Not. Keiko greeted her at the door, concerned. "Where were you this morning?" Kagome explained that she had just slept in and was fine. In fact she felt better than ever, except for a few bruises. She had managed to avoid Hojo yet again. Maybe she hadn't done it on purpose, but it still counted. After they got changed they got in line with all the others and ran around the large, grassy field as a warm up. Keiko and she paced themselves so they could run together and talk about things between pants.. Just normal stuff, what's going on, how annoying the teachers were, etc. During volleyball they hooked up with some other girls. Rei and someone Kagome didn't know. Keiko told her that the unfamiliar girl was called Sango. She had been introduced that morning at homeroom, but Kagome had missed it. The girls chatted a bit; Sango was nice, but kind of distant. Not cold, really. Just too polite. Not very good at casual conversation and gossip. She had a great spike though. Sango was exceptionally strong, she did all fifty pushups with one hand. She didn't even seem to be showing off, just as if doing something like that was normal. At the end of class Kagome said goodbye and moved on to science. Sango said she had the same class and so they got to talk some more on the way through the hall.
Sango looked around the school as the girl Kagome talked, only half listening. No luck as far as finding the Youkai. What a wonderful training mission, not. This was way too easy. She just had to pick off some kid. She would know him if she saw him, he probably wasn't bothering to disguise himself. So what if everyone in the clan thought this was going to be some huge battle, what did they know. After all, they only knew about his father and brother. Nothing worth mentioning had ever happened to this Inuyasha guy. She was having some fun at least; she had to remind herself not to get too friendly with her temporary classmates. She wouldn't be here long, just long enough to execute the mission and run before there were too many questions asked. No good making friends you had to leave.
Inuyasha sat down in science class and opened his book. More like some huge ancient tome. The print was so tiny even he had some trouble reading it. Not to mention the fact it was like, a thousand pages long. And he had to carry it around all the time. He was one of the first to arrive in the class room, so he had time to finish his homework. He had run out of time last night and needed to be done quickly. Those drool marks where he fell sleep on it weren't too noticeable, not enough to get counted down for sloppiness, or so he hoped. He shrugged, working a kink out of his neck and yawned. At least he only had a couple problems left to do. When he was answering the last question, a vocabulary word that he had to look up, a couple of girls trailed in talking full blast. He glared at them, about to tell them to shut up, when he noticed the new girl. Something about her, her scent or something was out of place. It put him on edge. Strangely enough the girl was wearing all pink, with some black designs on her shirt and pants. It looked almost like some kind of uniform. But why Pink? Inuyasha thought about it for a second, but decided that it was just some little human girl and so what if she smelled weird? Maybe she forgot to take a shower. Just because her sense of fashion was a little, well, unconventional, that didn't mean she was out to get him. Still, you had to wonder about a chick in high school wearing all pink. She was looking at him oddly too... Oh never mind he thought, irritated, if she bothered him again he would tell her to buzz off. That little voice in the back of his head seemed to think that he was being just a little bit reckless, after all what were instincts for if not to tell you when something was out of place?, but Inuyasha brushed it off. He was used to the little voice. It was the same one that said he was and egomaniac. Shows how much it knew. Feh.
As Sango's eyes swept the room they fell on a white haired, golden eyed, fluffy eared, fanged, and clawed boy reading a science text book and writing on a piece of paper. Now that was not something you saw every day, this was definitely a Kodak moment. She would definitely kill for a camera, imagine the clans face when she told him about the 'fierce demon' studying for a science quiz. Priceless. She smiled, victorious. She had found her target. The boy looked up, showing his deep golden eyes and looked at her. He looked so much like his father and brother... She had seen the pictures of them. Only he looked more human and he didn't have any stripes. He seemed puzzled for a moment and sniffed the air slightly. After a brief glare, a sort of curious one though, he dismissed her and brought his paper up to the homework box. She furrowed her brow, he had sensed something strange about her, and most demons couldn't... But he was just a hanyou, nothing to worry about. The teacher said something to him and Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the weird frizzy haired man. Hard to be afraid of a high school kid with doggie ears. Sango sat down in a vacant seat a couple rows a way from him, Her long brownish hair brushing the seat and still smiling a small, cold smile.
Ooh. What will happen next? Who is this mysterious girl? All, well, most, will be revealed in the next thrilling chapter of duh duh duhhhhh... ! 'It all started with the doggy ears!' Yes that is going to be the title! If you don't like it, well don't waste your breath because I don't care! Yayyyy!!! My dear (few) Reviewers, thank you, thank you!
Sailor-Kaio-Cannon: Cute? Him? Are we talking about the same wolf?
Three-Letter-Word: It's a good idea, but I'm hoping that this story ends up being a little more, well, happy. Not so pessimistic.
IceDragon'08: Thanks! By the way, I think our muses should get to meet each other, it would be interesting to say the least. Cris and Chaos... The insanity...
Fireblade K'chona: glad you think so. Oh, And my muse is a special wolf, but it's a secret, shhh! I'd say he'd be pretty good against a Kyree or a gryphon... um... what exactly is a Scheherezade?
Zonza and chibi moon baby: Love ya guys!
Flame-Proof-Monks: You guys deserve a medal! I really liked your Title suggestion, you won! Even mister high and mighty Wolfywolf liked it!
Thanks a bunch to you all, Keep reviewing!
