Inuyasha was already downstairs, and when she came down, he looked at her, and blushed madly. So did she. But, he was blushing for a different reason actually.
Well, for one, her shirt was apparently, see-through. Since she just got out of the shower. And, the way those clothes clung to her body was amazing. It hugged all her curves perfectly, accenting them off to the world. Her hair also looked good, up in a tight bun, with two little pieces hanging off in the front of her face.
Kagome sat next to Inuyasha, un-aware of what he was capable of seeing, and started eating her breakfast. Cereal, and two pieces of toast. She just sat there, like it was a good old day, and nothing was wrong. While Inuyasha was just having a problem swallowing something.
She smiled. 'Perfect..' "Its rude to stare, Inuyasha." She whispered lowly, and had the biggest grin on her face, it wasn't a surprise that her mouth didn't fall off.
His face went a bright red, "Don't be using my lines, wench."
"Don't be using your eyes to look at my see-through shirt, stupid." She added the stupid on for good measures, and her face went serious, when she was laughing on the in-side.
"FEH!" He got up from the table, and grabbed his backpack, and waiting for Kagome to finish. As soon as she did, he said, "Lets go. We walk to school because the bus doesn't come out here, and my parents are too busy getting ready for work."
"Okay.. let me just get my.. HEY!" She was going to get her backpack, when Inuyasha picked it up for her.
"I can't have you slowing me down, wench. So I'll carry this for you." He said, rudely.
"Fine!" He and Kagome walked out the door.
"School is only about fifteen minutes away, you can handle that, right?" He said, questioning her.
"Y-yeah.." She stuttered. Apparently, sometime while he was talking, Inuyasha had grabbed a hold of her hand, and she was looking at it with a questionable stare.
"Question, are you only going to be talking to me?" Inuyasha asked. He noticed she hasn't talked to anyone but him, only because he had heard her sing that one time.
"Yes. Only because your the only one who has heard me. No one else needs to know. If a teacher asks me to answer a question, can you just like, tell her for me I'm mute?" She asked, hoping he'd say yes.
"Sure." He laced his finger's with her's. She blushed a little bit more, but.. it seems as she could truly trust him. She had only known him for a day, or less, but.. she had faith in him. Faith she had never had for anyone else. Not ever her family.
She squeezed his hand back.

They walked into the front of the school, and Inuyasha was currently being bombarded by his fan girl's.
"Inu-chan..oh.. how about Saturday night.. I want you to come over.. we can watch movies.. hang out.. and maybe a little more than that.." A slutty girl walked up to Inuyasha and said that. He never remembered these people's names, and he could honestly care less.
"No.. he already has plans with me, on friday night. The night to party..." A blonde came up and attached herself to his shoulder.
"Oh, your terribly mistaken. He has a date with me. And only me.. tonight!" When this girl said that, everyone shut up, and cleared the way for her. She took the spot of that other girl to latched herself to his arm. "Your mine. And only mine.. hey, who's THAT girl?" She pointed to Kagome.
"Your the most popular girl in school, aren't you? I forgot your name, and honestly, I could care less.." His voice then went deeper, "And don't you dare insult her in any way, if you do, its your reputation, AND your throat!" He growled and looked over at the now stunned girl.
"Yeah? Well, my daddy can kick you out of this sorry school, and have a terrible reputation, any day!" She shouted angrily.
He smirked. "Yeah? You must not know my last name is, or who MY father is for that matter."
"Well, I couldn't give a rat's ass, unless your Dad's last name is Taishio." She spat at him. "He's the only one that controls our family, and he is highly respected.. and-" She was cut off when he took out his wallet and placed his school I.D. card in her face.
"Name: Taishio, Inuyasha." Was all she needed to read. She looked up to him nervously. "You..your.."
"Don't hang your mouth open like that, honey. You'll catch flies in your mouth, and you'll look even MORE like a frog. And have worse smelling breath than you already have, if that's possible." He smirked, and took Kagome's arm and lead her into the school.
The girl just stood there. She was the most popular girl and she had been humiliated in front of everyone! Damn the Taishio's! Damn them to HELL!

Inuyasha took them to his locker, because concincidentaly, her locker was right next to his. "Inuyasha.. you really have a reputation, don't you?" She said, quietly.
"Yeah.. it can make me or break me. Most of the time make me... oh, fuck!" He swore, "Just don't move, or say anything to what I'm about to do, GOT IT!?" He said, harshly. It seemed he was desperate.
"Um..alright..EEK!" He stuck his hands down the side of her pants, sticking a dagger there momentarily.
Kouga walked up to Inuyasha. "Well well well, if it isn't Mr. Taishio." He snarled.
"Well well well, if it isn't Mr. Wolf. The bastard." Inuyasha tried to agitate him.
"I'm getting to my last straws of patience with you, Taishio. I hate you, and you hate me. Just understand, STAY OUT OF MY WAY!" He pressed Inuyasha to the back of the lockers. "FOR-" he was cut off.
Kagome got out from behind Inuyasha and stuck the dagger Inuyasha had put in her pants to Kouga's neck. She growled within her throat as to say, 'Let go or die you filthy, bastard!'
Kouga let go and eyed Kagome. "Hm.. a woman with spunk.. you wanna' be my girlfriend?" Kagome dropped the dagger, eye's wide open with shock.
Kouga continued, "We could have lots of fun Kagome... you.. and me.. same room.. same BED..." Her face got a little red with what his was implying. Inuyasha, being himself, stepped in.
"Excuse me Kouga, but do NOT talk that way to her!" He punched Kouga in the stomach. "Stay off of her, she is OFF-LIMITS!" He sneered.
"Oh, so she's your woman, I presume." He said, dusting off whatever dirt got on his shirt and pants.
"No. She's not." Kagome didn't catch the disappointment in his voice.
"Well, in that case. She's free to me!" He kissed her on the cheek, "Bye, I hope I see you soon, cutie." He went off to class.
He was about to go and chase him, but Kagome put a hand on his shoulder. "Its okay, I don't like him anyway." She was about to say something else when two more people came running towards her and Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! We saw what happened between you and Kouga, who is the new girl?" A young man questioned, about Inuyasha's age as it looked.
"Kagome is her name. Kagome, this is Miroku, Miroku, this is Kagome." Inuyasha introduced really quickly.
"Well, beautiful lady, are you single?" He asked, almost
innocently. ALMOST.
She nodded her head, and he winked at her. "Would you like the bear my children, then, beautiful?"
She slapped him. Miroku still smiled, "Don't be scared.. I promise I'll be gentle.." He leaned into kiss her, and Inuyasha got in the middle of both of them.
Miroku, a perfectly straight guy, had just leaned in, and kissed Inuyasha. Inuyasha's eyes went wide, as did Miroku's and they pulled away. "MIROKU! If you EVER touch me AGAIN, I'll have your head in MY hands, to throw the THE FUCKING DOGS!" He walked away from him, and stood behind the other girl that was watching the scene and pushed her up.
"Kagome, this is Sango. Sango, this is Kagome." Sango went up to Kagome and shook her hand. "I hope we become good friends, and I hope you aren't as bad as Inuyasha since you hung out with him for a little bit!" She smiled and laughed. "Also, great move on slapping him. He needs someone to knock his brain in once and awhile. I currently hold that spot to do so once and awhile. You can help me!" She winked at her and looked over at Miroku.
Miroku was in shock at what he just did. Then, all of a sudden, he spit into the air like no tomorrow as if he had swallowed some poison.
Sango just laughed. Kagome didn't, so Sango thought that she didn't know this guy at all. "Kagome, don't you think that's funny, at all?" Sango asked.
Kagome just shook her head.
Sango shrugged it off, and went on with Miroku to her next class.
"Well, that was interesting. Must everyone hit on me though?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, a small smile forming on her face.
"Don't get yourself flattered, wench. Miroku does it to everyone, and Kouga is just stupid.."
"Yeah, but.. he called me beautiful. Am I?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha, realizing what she had just asked him, and looked away.
"Well.. I um...--" He was cut of when he had a flashback.
-Flashback-
Kagome walked down the corridor, and went outside on the back porch. It was breath takingly beautiful outside. The stars were bright, and the moon shone down on her frail form. The warm breeze threw her hair around softly in the back of her, and the smell was wonderful. Cherry blossoms were scattered around the palace, floating with the breeze, and one landed in her hair.
Inuyasha was following her and was about to scream at her, but then he saw her form. It was.. like..
A girl out of a fairy-tale.
Fairy-tales were something he ultimately hated, because they were never true. A happily ever after ending. No, those NEVER happen. Something, or someone in the REAL life, gets hurt, or dies. Never, is it happy. And he knew, this was no exception but...
She was just too beautiful for being real. He at the moment, thought he was just dreaming, and he would wake up in his flannel sheets, and look up at the dog poster he had on the top of his ceiling. But, this wasn't a dream.. this isn't something he would wake up from. This was reality.
He whispered, something only for his ears, but Kagome caught it. "Beau..tiful.."
-End Flashback-
"You...are.." He said it with such, honesty, she had to believe it.
"Really?" She smiled.
"Really." He took her hand again after grabbing both of their stuff and said, "Okay, just follow me and I will show you all your classes, and you can meet more of my friends, alright?"
"Alright." She smiled and walked with him. But she couldn't help but notice the jealous glares she was getting from everyone.
That alone had just made her day.
