-Chapter 2-
The Terrors of Kindergarten
"Aunty Kaede, do I have to go to school? I don't wanna go." Five year old Kagome whined, staring up at the wise old woman.
Kaede smiled. "Yes, Kagome. Ye must go to school. Ye might meet some friends! Now, hurry along, or ye'll be late."
Kagome sighed, sinking into her depression once more. No body ever wants to be my friend, no one wants me...
THUMP. "Ouch." Kagome whispered, running into something. Once again, she hadn't been looking where she was going. A boy, probably the same age as Kagome, looked at her.
"Watch where your going, shortie." Kagome's lip quivered, and she looked at the boy.
"I am not a shortie! Could you leave me alone? But, no one cares about me anyways... why would a meanie like you?" Kagome burst into tears.
The boy squirmed uneasily. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm just lonely most of the time, and I yell a lot. My name's Inuyasha."
Kagome sniffled, and wiped away some of her tears. "I'm Kagome. Um..." Kagome shyly glanced at the fuzzy white ears coming out of his head. Inuyasha saw her look, and bent down.
"Go ahead, touch 'em." Kagome smiled, and rubbed his ears. To her surprise, he growled a little bit and closed his eyes.
"Are you a dog demon?"
"Yeah. I'm half human, though. That's why I'm lonely. No one wants to play with a half breed." Inuyasha said, scowling.
"I don't mind. I was always lonely, too." Kagome let go of his ears, and stepped back. "Wanna walk to school with me?"
Inuyasha stared at her, and nodded. They started to walk, when Kagome slipped her hand into Inuyasha's.
"Kagome Higurashi, stop chattering this instant. I want you to sit over there, in the corner, until lunchtime." Kagome stared up at the teacher.
"Yes, madam." She scurried over to the empty desk that was isolated by the window.
Why is everyone so mean to me? Kagome wondered, looking at the worksheet the teacher had given her.
"Psst, Kagome." Kagome looked up, and smiled. Inuyasha had inched his desk close to hers.
"What is it, Inuyasha?" She whispered, keeping a close eye on the teacher.
"Our teacher's a meanie, isn't she?" Kagome giggled, and nodded.
"Yeah! Oh, Inuyasha? Will you sit with me at lunch? And play with me outside?"
Inuyasha smiled. "Ok! Well, this work is boring."
"We better get to it, so we don't have to go to detention." Kagome added, and went back to work.
This is what many of the youngsters days in primary school was like. The two become best friends, but hardships will come to pass.
Stay tuned! Please Read and Review! Sorry if this chapter sucks!
