A/N: This is my first Inuysha fanfic by myself so I hope you like it.

Stepping up to the high school Inuyasha sighed inwardly. He was a first year and he knew that would mean big trouble. Every year it was the same thing with the freshmen. Either they proved their worth to the seniors by living out one of the major pranks played on them, or gets shoved into the trashcan every other day for the rest of your freshmen year. Life seems to make you start things over and over. Like when you leave middle school and go to high school, and it continues on when you leave high shcool and go to college; depending if you even go to college, then you're out on your own. You also have to start over when you move to new towns. Making new friends, going to different places. Inuyasha just hoped he would fit in right, but from what it seemed, this was not going to be some piece of cake my friend.

Inuyasha's hopes began to brighten up as he realized that this school might not be like the school in his old neighborhood. It was the first time Inuyasha had been to Tokoyo, and it seems it fell short of nothing. Huge buildings, lots of traffic, and most of all, strangers. He had just moved to this city about a week ago and hadn't had time to make new friends. Of course his brother Sesshomaru had been able to make friends right away, but that was just because he was older. Sometimes it seemed to Inuyasha that he was just an outsider and would always be one.

He stared at the colossal building with kids scampering around everywhere. It was much larger than his petite middle school in the country. Well this was the city and they most likely were able to get away with more things. He looked around the other buildings and noticed that the sky was only dark and gloomy around the school. He hoped that this wasn't a sign of things to come.

.

"Is it natural for a dark cloud hang over one spot?" inquired a guy as he stepped up to Inuyasha. Inuyasha's thoughts shattered like glass as he snapped back to reality. It seemed that someone obviously shared his natural dred of going in to a new school. He felt worse about having to go in a new city and a new school almost at the same time. So, deciding that it would be best if he had some one to talk to when he entered this odd, new place, Inuyasha spoke up.

"Yeah, I know, I'm trying to decide weather or not to go in."

"Oh, I was talking about the big ominous cloud over your head. You know, if I were you I'd take that as a bad omen."

Inu-Yasha stared at the guy. If it was true, then Inuyasha was sure that not many people would come marching right up hoping to be his friend. The guy sort of had a lain back, don't really care what you think about me look, but he also reminded him of a spy like James Bond. He was about normal height with black hair, blue eyes, and had on a pair of baggy dark blue jean shorts with a matching jacket that was equally baggy and a white muscle T-shirt. He dressed like a normal person, instead of trying to wear some over priced outfit, like most of the people he knows, that you wear once, get something on it, and can't get it out for anything.

"You look new. The name's Miroku. They call me the biggest pervert this side of the city."

"Who calls you that, and why?" Inu-Yasha asked cocking an eyebrow, and wondering why anyone would want to tell that to someone they just met.

"Everyone, including my parents and if you stick around me long enough you'll find out why. It's kind of funny because my mom says my dad is like me."

"Don't you mean he was like you?"

"No he always acts like that now," Miroku said almost too serious, "Well any way, what's your name?"

"Inuyasha."

"So," Inuyasha started hopefully, "are you a freshmen too?"

"Yeah, I wonder what the seniors are going to do this year, beside shove us into trash cans." Miroku put his hand under his chin and looked like he was in deep consentration.

At that little thought Inuyasha's whole world darkened. Deep down he knew this school would be the same, but he didn't really want to admit it to himself.

"Hey what's wrong?" Miroku asked with a bit of confusion.

"Nothing," Inuyasha said as if he was keeping a secret that he would never tell.

"Oh, well the cloud over your head just started to spurt out lightning."

"We just moved here and I was hoping this school wouldn't be like that," Inuyasha said while sighing. He didn't really want people to know that he just moved to this big city and didn't quite fit in right.

"Setting your hopes a little high don't you think," Miroku said with a hint in laughter in his voice trying to cheer Inuyasha up.

At that time two other guys came walking up. One was short with a plain yellow T-shirt, some baggy black jeans that were practically falling off that had a silver chain hanging from the front pocket to the back pocket, and a black hat turned backwards. Here and there you could see where his red-orange hair poked out. He reminded Inuyasha as a model punk person.

The other was a normal height with a pair of long khaki shorts, a shirt with buttons at the top and around the sleeves and collar there was a khaki strip, and he was wearing a pair of flip-flops. The guy seemed like one of those silent types that seemed to along with whatever was going on.

Inuyasha looked at his own clothes. He wearing a pair of big, baggy, black pants that had holes in the knees, and a red, short-sleeved, button-up shirt. He gussed he could have actually made some effort when he got dressed this morning, but it didn't seem worth worring over something that stupid.

"Hey, it's Shippo and Kouga. Hey guys, this is Inuyasha he just moved here. He's a first year too."

"Hi, I'm Shippo," the short one said freakishly smiley.

"And I'm Kouga," the other said eyeing Inu-Yasha suspiously.

Inuyasha felt that Kouga was seendindg him some weird vibes that seemed to scream that he was in some forbidden territory.

"Shippo likes to play pranks so don't mind him."

Just then a few girls walked by. Miroku got a little smiley.

Too smiley

"Here we go again with the annual tradition of Miroku doing something stupid and making us all look like perverts because we hang out with him," Kouga said while sighing and shaking his head.

"What do you mean," Inuyasha asked curious.

"You'll see in a minute."

Inuyasha stood and watched Miroku.

He went over to them and whispered into one's ear, while reaching his hand around to feel her butt. She blushed a deep scarlet, shouted, "Dumb ass freshmen pervert," and smacked him so hard that when eventually stumbled over to the guys he had a huge hand print on the side of his face.

"Dang that looked like it hurt," Shippo said while twisting his face.

They all stood there while Miroku gathered all of his stars. Inu-Yasha smiled and the other stood there laughing at Miroku.

"Well it looks like someone's feeling better," Miroku smiled big and goofy.

And if as on cue a few other girls walked by. "Aww look at the cute little freshmen, I feel sorry for them. Dressed like that they won't last a minute."

All of them were pissed, but knew better to say anything about it. Inu-Yasha smiled again and felt like he was going to fit right in with this group of guys.

The four freshmen dragged their feet along the ground as they hesitantly walked in the high school.

Meanwhile…

"Why do I have to say it?" Sango looked evilly at Kagome.

"Because you're the only one who looks old enough."

"But…" Sango looked down at her feet and sighed.

Under her breath Kikyo muttered, "Another year and here we go with the annual tradition of Kagome messing up the first day to make us look like complete idiots."



"Hey I heard that!"

"Oh, well lets just do it."

Kiara, Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango run past the boys. "Aww look at the cute little freshmen, I feel sorry for them. Dressed like that they won't last a minute."

They all looked at the boys who looked overly pissed and miserable as they started to walk toward the school. Then Kagome noticed that she had never seen the boy with the long silver hair. He was smiling...

"Kagome do you think it was right the way you made me say that to those boys, I mean it's not like we're dressed any better."

Kagome took a good look at the other girls and hersef. It was true, they were dressed pretty normal themselves. She didn't know why she had told Sango to say it. Sometimes Kagome didn't think things completely through, and she couldn't really tell you either. It's like she gets a notion and runs with it.

Kagome nodded her head. Kirara looked at Kagome. "You know since their freshmen, and we're freshmen too, that most likely we'll be in some of the same classes."

"…SO"

"God Kagome you're so stupid, It's a wonder you're not a blonde."

The bell rang and the girls scattered to the school hallway.

Shortly the intercom came on while the students were in the hallway trying to see what classes they're in.

"Attention everyone, none of that nonsense about dumping freshmen in trash cans this year. Oh, all freshmen report to the gym, all freshmen report to the gym."

No one stirred for they knew the impending horror that would come to them if they gave themselves away.

"I mean now," the voice said with a twang of impatience

.

A few people stepped out of the crowd to go to the gym, but soon met Mr. Trash can over their heads.

The intercom came on again; "Okay I guess you're all going to fail." The rest of the students were forced to have the garbage showers.

In the gym

Many kids were running around trying to find people with perfume so they could drench out the rank stench of garbage. Others were trying to find their friends from middle school.

Inuyasha, Koga, and Miroku were trying to pick out all the banana peels out of their hair. A little, clean Shippo walks up to them, smiling too much for his own good.

"Hey Shippo, why are you clean?" Kouga snarled.

"Ahhh, the power of being short. I just went through everyone's legs when they were busy dumping garbage over some poor sap's head."

They all glared at Shippo and suddenly he realized the mistake he made.

Just as Inuyasha was about to say something, a short teacher walking up to a podium interrupted him.

(Now returning to the fairer sex for a brief moment... no offense boys)

"Hey Kirara why are you so clean," Kikyo demanded as the small girl ran up to them.

"Well I'm just short and so darn cute that they thought I was a visitor and let me pass right by."

Kikyo sat in annoyed silence as she tried to figure out a way to get the stain out of her new blouse.

"Uhhh.. is this thing working, hello..oh...hehe.Hello students, my name is Mr. Myoga. I would like to start this year out by saying that there aren't very many freshmen this year so most of you will be in the same classes as each other. Now I think it would be nice to introduce this year's cheerleaders. Hmmm… Naoki, Yuu, Kagome, Kikyo, Kirara, Sango, um...Iffy, Yura, June, Fujiko, Yasumi, Mayu, Akira, Masayuki, and Rieko."

"WOW… there's some fine women I'd like to-"

"You'd like to what?" A teacher looked at Miroku with an evil glare.

"Umm… meet them and get to know them and not judge them by their appearances but rather by the inner content of their character."

"Good, that's what I thought."

"Actually," Shippo interrupted, "That means he wants to woooohooohoohoohoo one of them. Wooooh, Wooooot. You know like we're going down, down baby, or I wanna f-"at that point Miroku clamped his hand over Shippo's mouth. Eventually he pried away from the death defying hold and finished with, "like an animal"

"Why I never…"

"Of course you haven't that's why you don't have a husband. I bet the doctor said your mom should've had an abortion."

The teacher's mouth dropped open and was interrupted by Mr. Myoga.

Mr. Myoga looked back down at the list an upper classmen had just handed him, and hesitated.

"It seems that I missed some people. Um… is it …In u Yash a. Yes… that's it. There is a Miss Inuyasha, Miroku, Shippo, and Kouga."

Not paying attention until know, Inuyasha looked around and asked, "Why is that old man calling our names?" As he looked around, all he saw was all of their horror stricken faces.

"Did I win something

"Don't say that!"

Everyone turned around and pointed to the boys who had no choice but to get up and walk to the podium.

"Why are we up here," Inuyasha asked more than thoroughly confused.

"Wow we actually have boys on our team this year, that means we go to competition with no worries." Iffy smile was so beautiful that Miroku almost melted.

Inuyasha thought he would try it a second time, "Hey did I win something."

"If you won something then we wouldn't be up here," Shippo said in a 'duh' voice.

"Oh."

"You mean that," most of the kids held their breath hoping Inuyasha would get it and save himself from further embaressment, " those four girls who made fun of us are in the same grade?!"

A tall girl with light brown eyes and chesnut colored hair walk up to Inuyasha and looked at him for a while. Finally she spoke up, "I didn't think it was at all possible to be as stupid as my dad. Oh God, please don't tell me you like Hot Wheels."

All of the girls busted out laughing. Inuyasha shrugged, it was obviously an inside joke.

Mr. Myoga walked aroud handing out packet of info. When he got to the boys he said while handing them packets, "sorry guys but it might take longer to get your unifroms because the company doesn't get many requests from us for boy's cheerleading uniforms."

"Y....You mean we're CH...CHEERLEADERS!"

"Hey, hey, hey, the correct term is competitive cheerleaders!"
