-Chapter 3-

Grade Five

Kagome and Inuyasha are now eleven years old. They are best friends, but a new kid in class could change their lives forever. Sorry if that sounds corny!

"I had a fun time at your party, Inuyasha. Did you like my present?" Kagome asked, walking beside the hanyou.

"Like it? I loved it!" Inuyasha cried, smiling. "Who else besides my best friend would give me the one thing I've always asked for? You have to thank Master Totosai for me."

"I will. Tetsaiga was a good present, then?"

"Yes! You're the greatest Kagome!" He patted the sword, giving it a loving stare.

Kagome smiled. She was pretty good at presents, especially wrapping them.

"Kagome, I was thinking. Your birthday is next week! Isn't cool that our birthday's are one week apart?" Inuyasha said, looking thoughtful.

"It is very cool. Oh, look! We're here already!" She cried, looking upon the now familiar building.

"Your in Mr. Iggy's class too, right?"

"Yeah. I hear he's a pervert." Kagome replied, opening the door. Inuyasha made a face, and Kagome laughed.

The pair made their way to room 76, took seats in the back, and observed everyone that came into the class.

"Look, Lucy Paga is still here! I was sure she would leave after the gum accident." Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.

"That was pretty funny, you've got to admit. Look, Mirokou is still the class pervert. Look, he's already hitting on Sango."

"I hear she has a-" SLAP!"-Very powerful slap. Look at the lecher now! He's blushing on the ground!" Kagome smiled as Sango took a seat beside her.

Inuyasha smirked at Mirokou as he took a seat next to him. "Hey Kagome! Who's she?"

Kagome turned to face the girl Inuyasha was pointing at. Kagome heard Sango gasp.

The girl looked almost exactly like Kagome, except her hair was gathered in a tie near the middle of her shoulder blades.

"I don't know who she is... But she looks familiar." Kagome replied, watching the girl take a seat in the front. The girl pulled out a pair of glasses, and placed them on her face.

"Good morning, class! My name is Mr. Iggy, and I will be your home room teacher. Now, Roll call. Inuyasha?"

"Feh."

"Kagome Higurashi?"

"Here."

"Itsuki Mirokou?"

"Yeah."

"Magna Sango?"

"Ci."

Mr. Iggy continued through the list, until he reached the last name. He smiled.

"Ah, we have a new student. Please make Madake Kikyo feel at home."

Inuyasha turned to Kagome. "New chick, eh? I'll give her a welcome, alright!"

"Go easy on her, Inuyasha. It is her first day." Kagome said, smiling.

"Feh, what ever, Kagome!"

Later that same day, at lunch.

"Well, he welcomed her, alright." Kagome snorted, looking at her best friend. The hanyou had fallen for the girl.

"And everyone calls me a lecher." Mirokou cried, taking a bite out of his sandwich.

"Mirokou, he's not feeling her up like you do. He just fell for her. Can you blame him? She is pretty." Sango retorted, unwrapping a tootsie pop.

Kagome remained silent. Pretty? She looks exactly like me, and no ones ever called me pretty. I guess no one cares...

Mirokou sighed. "How can a guy like him get a girl like her? She is smoking!"

Kagome started feeling hurt, depression sinking in. But why do I care if he likes her? Its not like I like him... Or do I?

"Kagome? You ok?" Sango asked, looking at her friend.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll see you guys later, ok?" Kagome jumped up, and hurried off before her friends could see her cry.
