Hey all! This is my first SERIOS fanfics (all of mine are more humorous). I hope I do a good job...

RIVAL
Chapter 1: Meetings and Greetings

"Kagome! Hurry up will ya!?" One of Kagome's friends, Sango, shouted.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming. . ." Kagome shouted as she reached her group of friends in front of the school building.

"Glad you could make it, Kagome." Sayako told Kagome.

Kagome let out a sigh, "Yeah, yeah, ok. Now let's get moving. We got a big day ahead of us." She said lightly pushing her friends to their class, 9-A.

As they got into class, they prepared to go on their excursion to the Todaiji Temple.

"Wow! I'm so excited!!! We actually get to go to Todaiji Temple!!!" Naomi squealed.

"Ok class! Sit down." Their teacher Ms. Sugawara said to the class.

Everyone sat down and remained calm. "There will be other schools there as well, so I want ALL of you to be on your best behavior. Is that understood?" Ms. Sugawara said to the class. Everyone nodded.
"Now line up." Everyone started to line up. "IN ORDER." Ms. Sugawara shouted, which was followed by moans of displeasure. Everyone scrambled to get in order anyways.
"Good, now class, follow me." Ms. Sugawara yelled to the class.

"Why do we have to walk!?" Kagome nagged to nobody in specific.

"I think the bus drivers are still on strike. . ." Sango told Kagome, giving her that "didn't you know?" look.

"Damn bus drivers . . ." Kagome mumbled.

"There, there, Kagome, we get a good amount of exercise from this!" Sayako said cheerfully.

"I guess you're right . . . Then again, exercise is one of the many things I hate . . ." Kagome mumbled again.

"Higurashi and Uchida! What did I say about talking!?" Ms. Sugawara yelled at Kagome and Sayako.

"Yeah. . . sure, you're the boss." Kagome replied lamely.

"We're here! Now, I want all of you to be polite to EVERYONE in there. Understood!?" She yelled again.

"Yes." Everyone replied in sync as they followed their teacher into the temple garden.

"Whoa! This place ROCKS!!!" Wakana said as softly as she could.

"Shut up! It's not that great." Kagome scolded her friend.

"Yes ma'am..." She said and lowered her head.

"Whoa! Oi, Kagome!" Yuki rabidly jabbed Kagome to get her attention.

"What is it now!?" Kagome whispered as softly as she could.

"Check it out! Look 11 o'clock and closing in!" Wakana said with excitement.

Kagome glanced at this "11 o'clock," all there was there was a snotty private all boy school.

"Yeah, so?" Kagome asked not really interested.

"What do you mean "so?"? That guy's HOT!" Yuki pointed to one of the boys in the back. He had short black hair tied in the back of his head. He had lavender colored eyes; he was talking to some boy with long dark black hair. He also had lavender eyes. "I think they're from Sukoku High. . ." {{I'm making the high school names up, ok? Don't blame me if they suck!}}

"...So? I don't really catch your drift." Kagome said to Yuki with no interest what so ever as she looked ahead of them.

They walked in silence for a while. Kagome's class and that other class were the only ones there. They walked to the entrance to the main temple; they stopped in front of the high priestess who talked about legends and the history of the temple. Kagome wasn't even a bit interested.

Kagome looked away and noticed that the boy Yuki thought was "hot" was looking at her and giving her a warm smile. Kagome looked at him confused and waved back. And behind him the boy with the long hair rolled his eyes and looked the other way. Kagome sweat dropped, 'What the hell is he doing? Smiling at me . . . What the bloody hell?' Kagome thought.

As Kagome was going to turn away from the smiling stranger, another boy with long black hair tied up high in a pony tail and a bandana stepped in front of him and smiled. Kagome sweat dropped even more, 'What the . . .' She gave him a half smile and waved slightly.

"Whoa, Kagome, are they hitting on you already?" Yuki asked interested.

"Shut up, don't make me hurt you. . ." Kagome said smiling.

Then Bandana Boy walked up to her in the crowd. 'What the hell?' Kagome thought confused as she began to turn the opposite direction.

"Hey, I'm Kouga." Bandana Boy said stepping in front of Kagome, smiling and letting out a hand for a handshake. 'Handshake? I can already tell this guy's a dipshit.' Kagome thought as she held out her hand for the handshake.

"Uh . . . okay. Um, I'm Kagome . . ." She said shaking his hand.

"Kagome," he repeated, "that's a wonderful name." He said still holding her hand.

"Yeah. . . sure. . ." she said with shifty eyes. "Umm . . . This is Sango, Yuki, Sayako, and Wakana." She said pulling them forward with her free hand, 'If this guy keeps holding my hand . . . I swear I'm going to give him a good bashing . . .' Kagome thought to herself as she began to twitch.

"Hi," Kagome's three friends greeted Kouga.

"Nice to meet you all, if you didn't get my name, it's Kouga." Kouga said smiling at all of them. All of Kagome's friends sweat drops.

"Err, Kouga. . ." Kagome began to say.

"Hm?" Kouga looked up at Kagome.

"Excuse me but," she tapped the hand that was holding hers, "Let go of me . . ." She began to death glare.

"Oh, yes, of course." Kouga said letting go of her hand 'Damn she is fine' He though to himself [[ A/N: Hahaha, couldn't help myself ]]

"Eh. . ." She said trying to bring the circulation back into her hand. There was silence. . .

"Um, so, who's your friend?" Yuki said referring to the "hottie."

"Oh, him? That's Miroku. say "hi" monk!" Kouga nudged Miroku forward.

"Hey, I'm Miroku, nice to meet you all." He said putting a hand behind his head. They all greeted him. "This is Inuyasha." He pulled Inuyasha forward with force. "Say hi." He said smiling.

"Uh . . . Hi" He said in a not-so-welcoming voice as he began to turn around to walk the other direction. 'Inuyasha? What a strange name . . ." Kagome thought.

"As you can see he's more of an anti-socialist." Miroku said grabbing Inuyasha's shoulder and used it as an arm rest.

"Get off of me, monk." Inuyasha spat as he slapped Miroku's arm off of his shoulder.

"You're a monk!?" Yuki asked him in interest.

"Uh . . ." Miroku sweat dropped.

"It depends what you classify 'monk' as." Inuyasha glared Miroku.

"Uh, I am a monk." Miroku said putting his hand in the back of his head again.

"Really?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah." He said flatly.

"That's so cool!" Yuki squealed.

"Yeah, it kind of is." Miroku said.

As they were talking, their classes started to move again. Kagome moved back with the group and dragged Sango along.

"Konno! Come on!" Ms. Sugawara yelled at Yuki.

Yuki rolled her eyes and followed the class.

A/N: Ok I revised it, it's pretty much the same except the lines people say are little bit switched around to match their character. Kagome is OC =] hehehe
