Konnichiwa!! . I'm in a good mood, so I should be posting a little more! Good for the fans, eh?

Oh, before I start this chapter, I have to explain one thing about this fic. I don't know if you know about most of the school systems in Japan, but in Middle School, it's 7, 8, and 9th grade, and in highschool it's 10, 11, and 12th grade. So yeah, it's a little different than the U.S. At the beginning, I say Kagome is in a certain grade level in high school, and I don't know how they title it their, freshman, junior, sophomore, senior.... Okay, on with the fic!!

Disclaimer: I don't own. You don't sue. I think we all have an agreement...

CHAPTER ONE

School and Best Friends

Kagome Higurashi sat down at the base of the stairs, which belonged to her family shrine. She played with the hem of her black skirt, nervous about starting her first day as a second-year at high school. Along with her black skirt, which went half way up her thighs, she was wearing a pink Happy Bunny shirt, which said "I Just Don't Listen" in black, and black combat boots.

She recently got her ears pierced for the third time, and got a tattoo on her ankle, which read "Shikon-no-Tama" with a picture of a pink jewel necklace. Kagome had no idea why she got this, but she felt as if it were just right.

A black Acura came up the road and stopped in front of Kagome, who was busy daydreaming. The driver beeped the horn, but Kagome, lost in la-la land, did not hear it. Slightly aggravated, the driver got out of the car and walked towards Kagome.

"Hey," the driver, a girl with black hair tied back in a high ponytail said. "You okay Kag-chan?" Still, Kagome was daydreaming, lost in her own little world. The girl, now more worried than angry, sat down next to Kagome and reached over to shake her friend slightly, but, instead, scared Kagome, and they both jumped back.

"Sorry," the girl with the ponytail said, still a little scared.

"Eh?" Kagome looked at the girl more carefully. "Oh, Sango," she said with relief, "it's just you..."

Sango gave a little smile, worry in her eyes. "You okay? I mean, after that whole incident, and your two month coma, and everything that happened.... Everything just happened so fast...."

Kagome looked up at Sango, who, supposedly, was her best friend. From what Kagome knew, she was sent to the hospital, and no one told her the reason why. She crept into a coma, which lasted a period of two months, seventeen days, twenty-three hours, and forty-six minutes. Someone had been counting, she didn't know ho, but her family knew from that person, also. After the coma, when she woke up, she lost her memory, not everything, but a few major important things. Throughout the whole coma, she only remembered one thing; a soothing voice talking to her every night and every day, holding her hand and watching over her. Whoever that person was, she wanted to meet them.

"Kagome?" Sango's voice was more worried by the minute. "Are you alright?" Sango leaned forward to get a better look at her friend's hidden face.

Kagome nodded her head in response, keeping her face still hidden. "I'm fine, Sango," she revealed her face and smiled. "Sorry if I worried you."

Sango smiled back and hugged Kagome tightly. "You're my best friend, Kag-chan," she let go of Kagome. "If you ever need anything, no matter what it is, I'm here for you. You can count on me," she stood up and looked over to her car, which was still running. "We better get going, school will be starting soon."

Again, Kagome nodded, now taking interest of her boots, which were partially dirty. Sango looked at her for a few more seconds, then bent down and reached Kagome's bag to put it in her car. When Kagome noticed Sango's intentions, Kagome grabbed it.

"It's okay, Sango, I got it," she said as she stood up and threw book-bag over her shoulder. "You've done enough for me already, and I'm extremely thankful...."

"But-" Sango began, but Kagome shook her off.

"No, Sango. You're the best friend someone could have, and I'm completely thankful. I owe you so much...."

Sango shook her head and walked to the driver's seat. "That's what friends are for." She slid into her seat, Kagome doing the same.

"And I'm here for you, I'll always be your friend," Sango added as she pulled out onto the road and drove towards school, music blasting.
