Disclaimer: Uhm...I don't..technically own these characters...okay would you believe me if I said Takahashi-san stole the whole series from me...sighs Prolly not...oh well...ON WITH THE STORY! By the way I don't know alot about the Japanese school system, just that they go year round, bear with me. Plus...the last names are well based on their weapons...'cept Kagome.
Chapter One: First Days Always Suck
God she hated the first day of the year. She tried in school, she really did, but Kagome's efforts were worth nothing when it came to math. Ugh...MATH. How she hated it. She sat down in her seat and waited.
"Kagome!" her best friend smiled and sat next to her.
"Sango!" she smiled.
"How are you? I've barely been able to see you! Sorry I was in Germany for so long. My parents were strick on staying for another week."
"S'ok! Really!"
"Miss Higurashi, Miss Hiraikotsu? Would you be so kind as to pay attention. I'm taking roll."
They snapped their head in the teachers direction, "Sorry Mr. Genkoku."
He nodded, "We have new students. Meet Miroku Kazaana and Inuyasha Tetsusaiga. As you know it's the beginning of the year and I expect you to be kind to each other and force yourselves to do your best in my class."
Kagome face-faulted, "Eheheheh."
"Kagome..."
"Sorry!" she sat up sweatdropping and finally took the boys' appearances in. Inuyasha was tall with long silvery hair, flaming yellow eyes and the cutest doggy ears and Miroku had short black hair and striking violet eyes.
'Aww! His ears! How sweet!' Kagome thought.
The Inuyasha boy gave her a strange look and Miroku smiled, "Seats boys, in front of Higurashi and Hiraikotsu."
The boys sat down and the teacher began his lesson. Kagome's face grew from pale to ghostly in the time she'd spent in the class. God it was so hard. 'WHAT DOES X EQUAL AGAIN?' she mentally screamed. The bell rang and she stood up, waiting for Sango.
"Kagome! Wait!" Sango moved to get up but someone knocked her books on the floor.
The boy flashed a wicked smiled and waved, leaving as his long black curly hair swayed from side to side.
"Hey! Naraku!" Sango yelled.
"Problem, Hiraikotsu?" he apporached her.
"Yeah, be nice and pick up my books." she glared.
"Don't tempt me to-" someone shoved him.
Kagome leaned down and picked Sango's books up handing them to her and turning to Naraku Shikon, "That was rude. Shouldn't you apologize?"
He took hold of her arm, "Higurashi, I've told you before to stay out of my business. You remember what happened last time?"
She glared daggers at him, "I don't care. I'm not afraid of you!"
"I don't believe it's polite to treat a woman that way." a hand came upon Naraku's shoulder.
He turned, "Miroku Kazaana, huh?"
"Yeah pal! He's right. Your way outta line!" Inuyasha said stepping up beside Miroku.
He looked back at Kagome and threw her into Sango, "Don't get in my way."
Kagome's ears shot steam as the boy walked away. She gathered herself and began to chase after him but Sango took hold of her, "No, Kagome. It's fine."
She looked at her friend barely smiling, "Sorry...I wish I could just..."
"I know but...we don't want history to repeat itself."
"I don't care anymore, Sango. He doesn't scare me half as bad as he thinks."
"You better watch yourself, your gunna get stomped." Inuyasha spoke up.
She turned, "Look, just stay out of it okay? It's our problem. You don't need to get yourselves into it. But...Thank you." she smiled, "Thanks for standing up for us."
"Anything for a pair of beautiful women." Miroku smiled.
Sango blushed angrily, "Yes, thank you."
"Whatever. Just keep your asses outta trouble." Inuyasha picked up his books and left.
"Don't mind him. He's had it rough and deals with things like that." Miroku reassured them.
"It's fi-" Sango's eye went wide.
"Sango?" Kagome asked and then her eyes wondered down to where Miroku's hands were, "Stop that!"
Sango took action and hit him, "HEY! Can't even meet a decent guy..." Sango picked up her books and left class.
He smiled, "She's very spirited."
"Always has been." she smiled and waved good-bye and headed for her next class. She walked down the hallway and started past the boys locker room but she was pulled in by a pair of arms. One crept around her waist and the other over her mouth.
"You should learn to keep your mouth shut, Higurashi. It's going to cost you." Naraku breathed against her neck.
She pushed away from him quivering, "L-Leave me a-alone."
"Then watch your step." he said and left her to fall against the wall.
She clutched her chest tightly, "Jerk.." she shook her head and got back up quickly, going straight to class.
Inuyasha watched her walk into class and sit down at her seat, "What the hell happened to you?"
"N-Nothing. Hey..." she turned to face him, "We never really introduced ourselves. I'm Kagome Higurashi." she smiled.
He could see right through her but shrugged it off, "Yeah, whatever."
"What's your deal, pal? I was just being nice!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Like I said, he's rude like that. But since you already know our names, it's nice to meet you Kagome." Miroku smiled.
Sango rolled her eyes, "Lech."
"At least he's got...some morals." Kagome smiled, "She's Sango."
"Some! He grabbed my behind!"
"Miroku! Try to control your raging teenage hormones!" Inuyasha sighed.
"Looks who's talking." Kagome sighed.
"What! You think you know me!" he got in her face.
"I never said that! You could at least stop grouching!" she did the same.
"CLASS!" the teacher yelled and everyone sat down.
"Sorry." they said in unison.
"This seems to be happening alot." Kagome said to herself. The rest of the day was rather quiet and she hadn't told anyone about the Naraku incident. She usually kept it to herself when he'd harassed her. He did it at least twice a week just to tick her off. She knew it. She didn't give a damn as long as he left her friends out of it.
Sango stopped at her locker, "Hey, whats up?" she asked worriedly.
"Nothing!" Kagome smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
Sango smiled weakly and turned on heel and started home. The walk was unsually quiet this evening. Too quiet. She got suspicious and started running but she fell. Her skimmed up at who had tripped her, "Kagura..."
"You'd better watch your back, Hiraikotsu. We've got an eye on you and Higurashi." she smiled wickedly stepping on the girl's hand.
Sango winced as she watched Kagura walk away. She got up and almost fell again but someone caught her, "What now!"
"I apologize." said a familiar male voice.
She looked up, "Miroku... don't even think about-"
"I wasn't. This isn't a time for games, is your hand all right?" he asked kindly.
She flushed and looked down, "Y-Yeah..."
"I'll walk you the rest of the way home, if it's allright with you that is." he said.
She barely nodded, "Okay."
"So...if you don't mind my asking...what happened with Naraku and his young female witch?" he asked.
"Well last school year, I was walking home and I was having a pretty bad day. I remember so well because it was my birthday. Anyways I suddenly got thrown to the ground and someone climbed on top of me and whispered into my ear, asking me if I wanted to have a little fun. His hand started sliding down my uniform top..." she flushed as she looked down sadly, "But I heard Kagome yell for me then she stopped and screamed at Naraku. Once he climbed off me I turned over and he was facing Kagome. He had asked what she planned on doing to him and she told him to back off because if he wanted she'd fight him right there. He kind of smiled at her but before either of us could react he was infront of her, with his fist in her stomach. She almost fell over but he gave her a hard uppercut and she landed on her back and hit her head on the concrete. She was bleeding so badly... Anyways he came back over to me and slammed my head into the ground and knocked me out. When we came to Naraku was gone. He just wasn't there." she sighed, "He's been on our backs since last year. No one found us so we have no witnesses no matter how many times we tried to get him put away."
"I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do."
"Don't bother, he'll just spin you into his web and catch you like a fly. There's no way out after that. Kagura Shikon's his cousin and so she doesn't mind doing his dirty work. But his girlfriend is ten times worse. She's got it out for Kagome."
"Who's that?"
"Her name's Kikyo Miko. She's a horrible person. One day at the end of the school year Kikyo spread a rumor that Kagome and I had tried to drown her in the girls locker room. She pushed Kagome down the stairs too. Kagome was fine but still..." she sighed.
"What a cold hearted witch."
"Yeah." she looked up as they reached her house, "I don't think it's safe you and Inuyasha befriend us. Their like the school mafia."
"Either way we'd have gotten on his bad side. So it matters not." he smiled, "Look, I live across from you." he pointed to his house three down on the other side of the street.
She smacked him, "You pervert!"
He sweatdropped and removed his hand from her behind, "Just checking you for injuries."
"Right." she said and walked inside and watched from her window as Miroku walked to his house.
Kagome lifted her feet in the air and Buyo meowed again as he was nearly halfway to the ceiling, "What is with you today?" she smiled at the cat sitting on her feet, looking down at her.
"Meow."
She laughed and let him down, turning on her side.
"Kagome! Phone!" her mother yelled.
She jumped up and ran downstairs, "Hello?"
"Kagome! Good you made it home okay." Sango's voice breathed a sigh of relief on the other side of the phone.
"Thank goodness. I called you when I got home but your mom said you weren't home yet then told me she saw you walking up the street with a boy?" she said questioningly.
"Miroku. I had a nasty run in with Kagura today and before he could do anything she left. GRAH! He's such a pervert."
"But a nice one, right?"
"I suppose. But I'm glad he walked me home. What about you? Did you see anyone on the way home?"
"No, thank goodness."
"Well, erm, dinner's ready! I've got to go and then get my homework done. I love you and please watch out tomorrow."
"Love you too, Sango. I will, please walk with Miroku from now on. I know he's new but I have a feeling about him and this Inuyasha boy." she said.
"Okay. Bye."
Kagome hung up the phone and walked back up to her room. She was already in her pj's, she did her homework and she'd eaten. 'May as well go to sleep.' she thought wrapping the blankets about herself and drifting off to sleep.
