Together Once More

Chapter 3; A new friend

9 years later…

"Kagome?" Mother called from downstairs, "Time for school!"

I groaned and got out of bed. High school was horrible, especially at Shikon High. Everyone there were jerks, except Miroku and Sango that is. They were the only friends I had.

Once I finished getting dressed, I went downstairs and grabbed a piece of toast.

"C'ya later, Mom." I called while walking out the door. I didn't want to be late for school.

I met Sango outside my door and we began to walk to school.

"You STILL wear that necklace Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Of course, I'll never take it off." I rubbed the locket on the necklace and almost cried. Inuyasha…

Sango rolled her eyes and looked at me, "You need to let Inuyasha go! It's been 9 years!"

I looked at her, surprised at what she had just said. "I have let him go, Sango! It's just a necklace."

"Fine, whatever." Was all she could say.

Sango just didn't understand how important this necklace was to me. Inuyasha gave it to me right before he left.

Once we arrived at school, we took our seats in our first class, Math, the class I hated. I was no good at math, but Inuyasha was. He always helped me on my homework and my school work. Enough thinking about Inuyasha!

"Good Morning class, we have a new student." Our teacher told us when he came in the door, "Everyone meet Koga!"

Another new student? We get a new student almost every month!

"Koga, please take your seat behind Kagome."

I raised my hand and he casually walked up, grabbed my hand, kissed it, and sat in his seat. I blushed furiously as the whole class said "Oooh!"

Our first 2 periods went by quick and then it was time for lunch. Sango and I decided to skip lunch and walk around campus. Sure enough, we ran into Koga who was sitting on the bleachers with his new friends, Kanna (A/N: Yes, Kanna! She's the same age as everyone else in this fan fiction.), Kagura, and Hiten.

"Care to join us lovely?" Koga asked in a sweet voice.

I gave him a half smile and glanced over at Sango, "Um, no thanks. I'm um, a little bit busy."

"Oh come on, you can't be to busy to miss time with me."

I sighed, "Okay, as long as Sango can stay with me."

He smiled in satisfaction, "Sure, and what is your name?"

"I'm Kagome."

"Kagome… what a beautiful name." He said while grabbing me by my waist and sitting me on his lap. Boy did I blush like crazy!

Sango took a seat next to Kagura, and started chatting with her and Hiten. Well, they sure hit it off.

"So Kagome, do you have a boyfriend?" Koga asked.

"No, and I don't want one." It was true, I don't want a boyfriend just yet.

"I see…can I change that?" He asked with a sly smile.

"No!" I got up off of his lap. "It was nice to meet you Koga, but we've got to go."

I grabbed Sango by the arm and rushed out of there. I think Koga likes me; actually, I know he does! Oh great!

The rest of the school day went by quickly and Sango and I headed back to my house to do homework and have some snacks, like we did everyday.

"Sango, I think Koga likes me."

"Of course he does."

Sango grabbed a chip and dipped it in some dip and opened her math book. I sighed and opened mine as well and started working. Geez this was so easy! All we were doing were fractions which is so 3rd grade! 3rd grade…Inuyasha…Oh Kagome! Don't start thinking about him again!

I wiped a tear away from my eye and finished doing my math homework. I've got friends; Sango, Miroku, and Koga. I need to stop thinking about Inuyasha.

"So, do you like this new friend, Koga?" Sango asked.

"As a friend, yes. As a boyfriend, no." I replied with a smile.
