AN: I'm late with this chapter, and I really should be posting a second one with this, but I don't have it typed up yet. I have it written on paper, but I haven't had much time to work on it. I'll try to get the next chapter out this weekend, if I can't then I'll try to post two chapters next Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.

Unbreakable Love

Chapter 2- New Student

By: Mika Saito

Inuyasha looked longingly at the Bone Eaters well before jumping into the God tree, as he had done every day since Kagome had sealed the well, darkness was slowly claiming the land as the sun sank lower over the horizon before disappearing completely. A familiar energy registered at the back of Inuyasha's mind, someone was approaching him from behind.

"Inuyasha? Is that you?" A female voice called out to him; it was Sango. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at the demon slayer, his eyes shimmering slightly in the dim light from the stars.

"Hai." His voice was low, almost a whisper.

"What are you doing out here this late? Shouldn't you be in the village?" Sango's voice grew louder with her annoyance at the hanyou. Inuyasha didn't answer and instead turned his attention back to the twilight sky, losing himself in his own thoughts again.

"She's not coming back." Sango whispered. She missed Kagome as much as the hanyou, but she understood that Kagome probably wasn't coming back, and had her reasons for leaving in the first place.

"What do you know?!" Inuyasha burst out, his anger taking control. He jumped out of the tree and turned to face Sango. "She'll come back." He said, his voice significantly lower but just as harsh.

"I wish you were right Inuyasha. We all miss her." Sango sighed as the hanyou ignored her and walked deeper into the forest away from the village.

Kagome reached out blindly, trying to find the annoying alarm clock that had disturbed her sleep. Finally she gave up trying to find it in the dark and sat up, the covers dropping down to her waist. Looking around she found the alarm clock on floor by her desk.

After turning off the alarm clock and getting dressed she headed down the stairs to the kitchen. Her grandfather was mumbling to himself, his words slurred together with the exception of a few, which Kagome heard.

"…Iie… Bunions…Iie…Tuberculosis… hai, tuberculosis…" He looked triumphant until he looked up and saw Kagome standing in the doorway dressed for school and looking at him curiously. "You're going to school today?" He asked, looking disappointed when Kagome nodded. "Darn, and I had a good excuse for you…"

Kagome just shook her head at her grandfather's antics before picking up her backpack and sliding the door open.

"Wait." Her mother appeared behind her. "You should eat something before you leave." She looked at Kagome expectantly.

"I'm not hungry." Kagome left before her mother could protest and walked slowly toward the school.

The bell rang, signaling the end of first hour. Kagome sighed as she walked toward her second hour, her friends walking in front of her talking about their crushes, a subject Kagome would have been happy to be left out of, but her friends didn't seem to notice that.

"So Kagome, are you going out with Hojo?" They eagerly asked her, not bothering to turn around to look at her. Kagome had been reluctant to say anything about her relationship with Hojo, and asking Hojo hadn't been much help either, he had just looked clueless and mumbled something about asking Kagome.

"Kagome? Are you ok?" Her friends stopped, grabbing Kagome's arm so that she wouldn't just keep walking.

"Huh?" Kagome looked at her friends confused.

"Are you going out with Hojo?" Her friends re-iterated the unanswered question.

"Iie." Her reply was simple. She pushed past her friends. "Second hour is going to start soon, we don't want to be late." Her friends agreed, seeing that she wasn't ready to talk about her relationship with Hojo, and they went their own ways.

Kagome's second hour was biology, with probably the most boring teacher. She slipped into class just as the bell rang and took her seat in the back of the classroom, pulling out her notebook and a pen, ready to take notes.

"Class, we have a new student. His name is Isamu Sakamoto." The teacher addressed the class, most of which wasn't paying attention. "You can sit by Kagome Higarashi (spelling?), Kagome, could you raise your hand please?" The teacher turned away and started writing the days lesson on the board before the new student even started to move." Kagome smiled kindly at Isamu and raised her hand for him to see where she was.

"Hi, I'm Kagome Higarashi (spelling?)." She said when he had finally sat down beside her.

"Isamu Sakamoto." He smiled back. Kagome turned to face the board and started to take notes. Isamu continued to look at her, she didn't seem to notice at first, but after a while she glanced over at him and he realized he had been staring. Blushing lightly, Isamu turned toward the board and started to copy down what the teacher had written sloppily on the board.

She doesn't seem to suspect me, he smiled to himself and glanced at Kagome, his eyes flashed amber before returning to their normal dark blue.

A heart so pure- I'm glad you liked my other stories. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter!

Pinayazngrl-Thank you for reviewing! I can't really tell you if Kagome and Inuyasha end up together, because even I don't really know. My muse refuses to tell me, Oh well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
