Kagome Higurashi was actually doing her independent reading like she was supposed to. Kagome was a good student, but she absolutely hated to read. She let out a sigh and tried to concentrate on the words in front of her. She had successfully read a paragraph when she heard the door open. Concentration broken Kagome looked up and stared at the boy who stood next to the principal.
"Mr.Rise?" The principal said. Kagome's lit teacher looked up from his novel that he was reading and said,
"Ah. This must be Inuyasha." Inuyasha? What a weird name. Of course Kagome isn't all that common either. Kagome thought. Kagome heard a few giggles on the other side of the room and knew instantly who it was. It was her shallow cousin Kikyo. Kagome's eye caught Kikyou's and Kikyo mouthed to her "He's mine!" Kagome just rolled her eyes. Every guy belong to Kikyo.
"Well Inuyasha why don't you sit behind Kagome." Kagome tensed. She didn't want some new guy she didn't even know sitting behind her! A quick glance around the room told Kagome that the seat behind her was the only empty one available.
Inuyasha must have observed the same thing because without asking who she was he sat down in the seat behind her. She heard him sigh and she could imagine that he looked bored. Excitement over, Kagome once again picked up her book and tried to read again.
Fifty glances at the clock later the teacher announced that they could talk among themselves. Kagome smiled and basically threw her book on the ground and grabbed her notebook that held all of her short stories. Might as well write now because its not like I have any friends in this class. Kagome thought.
"I take it you didn't enjoy that book." A voice said behind her. Kagome turned surprised to Inuyasha. She gave a small smile and said,
"I don't enjoy many books. I like writing more." Inuyasha gave her a weird look.
"Don't you have to read a lot to be a good writer?"
"No. I like to come up with my own stories and I like my own style of writing. Its working for me to because I've won four awards already... sorry didn't mean to brag." Kagome looked down. She hated it when she did that.
"Brag away. Its good that you have something to brag about. Hey who's that girl who keeps glaring at you?" Kagome subtly looked over her shoulder and saw Kikyou glare. It was strong enough to melt concrete.
"Oh that's my cousin Kikyou. If I were you I'd stay away from her. She already likes you enough to claim you." Kagome said as though this was nothing.
"Claim me? Where does she come off claiming me?" Kagome looked at him and gave him a half smile.
"Don't you know? Kikyou gets everything and anything she wants.
Inuyasha sat down at an empty lunch table with his tray of food. Why did I even grab lunch? He asked himself. The macaroni looked like it was three days old and the chicken nuggets looked so awful a starving dog wouldn't eat them.
"Inuyasha! Mind if we sit with you?" Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome and another girl standing next to him. Kagome had been in all of his classes so far and he had had more opportunities to talk to her. He had gotten her to laugh, but he had a hunch that he had yet to see her real smile. There seemed to be an aura of sadness around her.
"Yea that'll be great." He said with a smile. Kagome gave a small smile in return. He nodded to the girl who sat on the other side of Kagome. "Name's Inuyasha."
The girl had long black hair and warm chocolate eyes. Her eyes were almost the same as Kagomes, but Kagome's seemed darker and more mysterious. She had a long slender neck and a lean body.
"Sango." She said in reply. "So Inuyasha you seem like a good looking guy. Did you break a girl's heart when you moved to this small dumpy town?" Sango said.
"No. Where I lived all the girls were rich and snobby. They had the world at their feet and nothing was denied them. I never went out with any of them. Thanks for the compliment though." Inuyasha said. Sango realized what she had said and turned a cherry red. Everyone was laughing when a boy sat on the other side of Sango.
"Ah Sango my sweet did you tell everyone here that you are deeply in love with me and that you yearn for my soul? Is that why you are so red?" Sango narrowed her eyes and smacked him upside the head.
"Inuyasha this is Miroku. He's a grade ahead of us, that surprises me though." Kagome said shacking her head.
"Yes this is sad." Miroku said clasping onto Sango's hand. "This is my last year to get you to go out with me. Sango please be my girlfriend." Miroku said lovingly to Sango.
"Ask me again when I'm in a good mood." Sango muttered. Miroku grinned and started to eat his food without another word.
"Ugg how can you eat that stuff?" Kagome and Inuyasha asked at the same time. Inuyasha glanced over at Kagome and noticed that she only had a bottled water with her.
"Is that all your going to get for lunch?" Inuyasha asked raising his eyebrows. Surely to god that wasn't the only thing she was getting?
"Yea this is all but ask Sango, after school we hit fast food restaurant and I absolutely pig out." Kagome said her eyes shining. Sango nodded in agreement.
"Yea we have to stuff our faces cause if were late to Koga's -" Kagome elbowed Sango and Sango fell silent. Miroku stopped stuffing his face and Kagome was pale.
"Don't let him hear you talk about him like that. Just be gland he has C lunch."
"Who's Koga?" Sango waited for Kagome to speak before saying,
"Kagome's boyfriend. He has a nasty temper and if Kagome is ever late for meeting him...lets just say it isn't good." Sango said meekly.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and glanced at Kagome. She was clutching her water bottle to keep her hands from shaking. Inuyasha lifted her face so that she was looking at him. Her eyes held untainted fear and sadness in them.
"Hey don't worry about it. He's good to me. Just rough around the edges.
Kagome was ready to kill Sango. The less that people knew about how Koga really was the better. Inuyasha looked angry and she hoped that Koga and him would never meet.
Okay there's the end of chapter one! I was going to write more, but I'm tired and I want to see how well his story goes before posting other chapters. Well read and review and if anyone has any suggestions, I'm listning!
