The A-List

Chapter Two

A New School Year

--

On the beautiful and sunny day of August 24, Kagome Higurashi walked up the red-bricked pathway of Tokyo High, coming back from a wonderful summer vacation. Groups of teens began to form and stand under big green oak trees on the lawns in front of the massive stone-structured school. The weather was hot, not quiet shaking off the heat of summer just yet and the sky was blue dotted with little white cotton looking clouds.

"Hey beautiful! I want me some of that!" a group of jocks yelled out to Kagome. She grinned and shook her head.

"Sometimes things never change." Sighing, she looked around. Some cheerleaders from last year were doing flips and chants to improve themselves for the Varsity team this year. The jocks passed footballs around and skaters did various tricks.

"Eh, what's real good, Kagome?" different people asked as she passed.

"Just trying to get to the doors of hell." She said sarcastically. She turned her attention back to the big oak doors. Swinging them open she then walked to the administration office to get her locker number, combination, books and her schedule. After about thirty minutes of standing in the longest line she thought she'd ever been in before, she walked to go find her locker. Number 104, it is. She ran her finger along the lockers until she came to the right one. After turning the combination lock to the right, then left, then to the right again, her locker door swung open. She glanced down at the schedule in her hands, gathered her right books before going to the parking lot to go meet up with Yumi and Eri.

--

"Hey girls." Kagome said as she greeted her closest friends. "What's crackin?"

"Nothing mucho. Just ready to get this blasted show on the road." Yumi said flicking her herbal cigarette to the floor and putting it out with the toe of her heeled boot.

"You guys really need to stop smoking. It's way bad and smells horrible. Plus you guys are addicted."

"Oh, these are herbal cigarettes," Eri said, as if it explained everything and flicking hers to the ground and following Yumi's same routine. "You can't really get addicted."

"Too bad you're lying." Kagome said dryly. "Is that why you smoke four to five a day?"

"No. Too much damn stress. It's the parental units, I'm telling you. Trying to get me engaged to people I don't know."

"It's rich life honey. Deal." Yumi said, flipping her long brown hair. "Now I'm way too excited. Are we gonna do this or not?"

"Get the stereo." Kagome commanded excited too. Her eyes shifted from the two girls in front of her, to the school campus, where she could see kids filtering in and out.

"What time is it?" Eri asked.

"8:10. Perfect." The corners of the girls' mouths twitched into smiles and Eri grabbed a lightweight stereo from her trunk and closed it with a 'thunk'.

"Showtime!" Yumi walked along side Eri with Kagome and if you were to look from above, you'd see them in a perfect triangle.

The girls walked up to the school doors, swung them open and Eri hit the play button on the CD player. The halls were crowded and all heads turned towards the three hottest girls in school. Suddenly music blasted from the stereo, the bass vibrating anyone's chest within a few feet away.

My Goodies, My Goodies, My Goodies
Not my goodies!

The girls all winked at the guys in the view and smirked as they started down the hall.

I got a sick reputation for handlin broads
All I need is me a few seconds or more.
And in my rap
Tell valet to bring my 'Lac
And I ain't comin back
So you can put a car right there.
I'm the truth
And ain't got nothin' to prove.
An you can ask anybody
Cuz they seen me do it.
Barracades, I run right through 'em
I'm used to 'em.
Throw all the dirt you want it's no use.
You still won't have a pinup in a fabulous room
On her back pickin' out baskets of fruit.
(I love you boo)
Yeah freak and Petey love you too.
Ha Ha
You know how I do..

Swishing their hips, and keeping smirks on their faces, the girls danced their way down the hall. Kagome ran a hand through her hair and licked her upper lip, checking out the new guys this year. Though none seemed to interest her.

You may look at me and think that I'm
Just a young girl
But I'm not just a young girl.
Baby this is what I'm lookin' for:
Sexy, independent, down to spend it type that's gettin' his dough
I'm not bein too dramatic that's the way I gotta have it.

I bet you want the goodies.
Bet you thought about it.
Got you all hot and bothered.
Mayb' cuz I talk about it.
Lookin for the goodies
Keep on lookin' cuz they stay in the jar
Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh

Kagome stopped in the hall, did a few pop-and-lock moves, ending in her index finger pointing to some guy and turning her hand over, doing the motion for 'come here'. Happily the guy came over, getting envious looks from every other guy in the crowd.

Just because you drive a Benz
I'm not goin home with you.
You won't get no nookie or the cookies
I'm no rookie.
And still I'm
Sexy, independent
I ain't wit' it so you already know.
I'm not bein too dramatic that's the way I gotta have it
You think you're slick
Tryna hit
But I'm not dumb
I'm not bein too dramatic it's just how I gotta have it

She ruffled his hair, shook her booty on him, dropped down and brought it back up, pushing him against the lockers. Everyone was cheering by now and the crowds were getting fuller.

So damn hot but so young.
Still got milk on ya tongue
Slow down lil one
And you ain't got it all
Hey shawty
You think you bad but you ain't bad
I'll show you what bad is.
Bad is when you capable of beatin' the baddest.
I been workin' at it since I came to this planet
And I ain't quite there yet but I'm gettin' better at it.
Matter of fact,
Lemme tell it to you one mo' again
All I got to do is tell a girl who I am (Petey!)
Ain't naa chick in here dat I can't have
Bada boom bada bam ba bam!

Some guys came out of the crowd and were brave enough to come out and dance with her. She made them form a line, three of them in all, and then she put a finger to her chin, as if she was thinking. Then when Yumi and Eri came up behind her, she grabbed one guy by the belt and pulled him along the hallway with her, the girls following her moves, with the other two. She was walking backwards when suddenly she stopped, smirked seductively, and leaned up to kiss him. But before their lips touched she pushed him away with her hand on his chest and the other making a 'no' sign, wagging her finger.

You're insinuating that I'm hot
But these goodies boy are not
Just for any of the many men that's tryna get on top.
No you can't call me later
And I don't want your number.
I'm not changin' stories
Just respect the play I'm callin'.

I bet you want the goodies.
Bet you thought about it.
Got you all hot and bothered.
Mayb' cuz I talk about it.
Lookin for the goodies
Keep on lookin' cuz they stay in the jar
Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh

Kagome smiled as her two friends teased the same way and then they turned and skipped down the hall, their hips swaying. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of silver, and she slowed to a light jog/power walk. She'd never seen him before…maybe he was new this year? She would have had some fun with him, if he didn't hit his friend lightly in the chest, make a gesture with his head to leave, and both guys walked down the hall with another girl giving her a dirty look. She realized that one of the boys was the one the worked at that WacDonald's but she didn't recognize the girl. She was pulled out of her thoughts when the song's last lyrics faded out and her two friends pulled her away from the wild spectators.

--

The girl sighed as she pulled a cigarette away from the hanyou's mouth and flicked it to the ground, squishing it with the toe of one of her Converse shoes.

"What the hell, Sango?" The hanyou's head snapped up and he glared at the said girl, flicking his lighter closed.

"You need to quit that shit. That's what, Inuyasha."

"I've already tried it, Sango. He just doesn't want to hear it. I believe that's called selective hearing."

"I'll make it so you'll never hear anything if you don't shut your mouth, Miroku."

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the cardboard box…" Sango muttered.

"You realize I just heard that. I'm a hanyou, you know."

"And what a remarkable discovery that was." She clapped with faux happiness and rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. I don't know what you're so pissed off about." Inuyasha said turning his head to the side and looking off into the distance. At the moment the group of three were sitting on top of the school's roof talking and ditching class. Or at least making it so they were fashionably late.

"I'm pissed off at Kagome Higurashi's little ho show this morning. I mean really, is this a hell hole or is it tramp town." Inuyasha's face lit up into a small and rare smile that he only really showed his two closest friends, Sango and Miroku.

"Sango, she's not a ho. She's just proudly flaunting what she has." Miroku shrugged with a perverted smile on his face, and Sango gave him a deadpan look.

"Too bad what you and I just said was the same thing."

"Well, I have to say, it was a very good show. I almost wish it was me in there."

"Yeah and it would have been if I didn't hold you back…" Inuyasha said under his breath, though Miroku caught it.

"Hey, there ain't no shame in my game."

"Well I still think she's a ho. And she gets anything she wants. Which makes it way worse." Just as she said that, the bell rang, signaling the beginning of class.

"Well guys I think we should go. Don't want to be too late." Inuyasha stood up and stretched and then they left the rooftop, heading towards class.

--

Sitting in Technology, Inuyasha sighed. 'This is going to be the longest class period ever.' He thought and sighed once more. Today, Inuyasha's outfit consisted in baggy black jeans and a loose red T-shirt. He had on black Vans shoes and two black wristbands around his right and left wrists. He leaned back in his chair, leaving only two of the chair's legs on the floor and opened up a computer game. After losing about two games of minesweeper he gave up and got bored. As he closed his game, he heard some people come in the door. Most likely being his 'friends'.

"What's up, Yashi-poo?" his friend Nolen called.

"Call me it again, man, and the outcome wont be a pretty one."

"Oh come now. It's all in good natured fun." Nolen said, putting his hands up in defense.

"Hey Man." his friend Lee called, giving him a head nod. "What's up?"

"Hey man. What up? Nothing much here; just enjoying a beautiful day, with the opportunity of a fine learning experience." He put on a sarcastic smile.

"Bullshit." Lee said while laughing. Inuyasha put his hands behind his head and grinned.

"Damn straight."

Kagome walked into class, right as the teacher called her name for attendance.

"Present." She mumbled.

"Oh. Miss Higurashi. How nice of you to join us today. If you don't mind, I'd like to talk about rules and regulations for this class. Would you please take a seat at your computer now?" the evil cow from hell told Kagome coldly.

"Sure thing, teach." She looked around the room at the group of kids she would be taking this class with. "Oh joy. Won't this just be a big bundle of joyfulness?" She rolled her eyes as she sarcastically clapped her hands together. Taking a seat at an empty computer, she let the teacher begin to drone on about how having a virus on one computer could be bad for all the rest, or something like that. She also noticed the kid with silver hair, but tried her best to ignore him.

"Hey Kagome. What's up girlie?" her friend Yumi asked.

"I'm tired, I'm bored, and since I threw my alarm clock at the wall this morning, I'll be needing another one." Yumi just laughed.

"You do this every other week. It's not surprising to me."

"Hey, I didn't do it all summer." Kagome protested like a five year old.

"You're right." Yumi sat back in her seat and Kagome yawned loudly all of the sudden.

"Miss Higurashi, am I keeping you up?" the teacher asked aggravated. Kagome rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Actually yes…" she mumbled under her breath as she grinned. The teacher shook her head and went back to talking. Kagome sighed annoyed. She looked at the computer in front of her and got an idea. Logging onto AIM, she put on some headphones and listened to her music.

The bell rang and Kagome signed off and went to her next class with Tessa, just wanting to get to lunch.

Lunch Period:

At lunch, Inuyasha walked into the cafeteria and into a line to buy his lunch…

The school's cafeteria is huge. They have different types of food at different places around the cafeteria. It is actually like a food court, mini restaurants containing the following: Burgers, pizzas, Chinese and Japanese foods, salads, pastas, Mexican foods, sea foods, sandwiches and a bakery for people who sit around at their lunch hour eating baked goods. The floor is made up of black and white colored tiles, in a checkerboard pattern. Different lines of upperclassmen are always scattered about, on the outskirts of the exceedingly enormous room. In the middle of the mini food restaurants crimson red painted metal picnic tables ruled the floor.

Everyone sits at the same tables as their social group does, their so-called 'friends'. If there are too many people in one 'posse', the group usually puts together as many tables as needed. So set up around the main table, the tables belonging to the other posses included: the jocks - which are the stars of the football, soccer, basketball, swimming, track, baseball, powder puff, softball, tennis and volleyball teams, the geeks and nerds - who have nothing better to do than challenge themselves to a good Calculus equation, the wannabe beat boxers and rappers - who think they have a chance at the real thing, the hip-hop dancers – that have jobs as club dancers and practice their routines outside on the student lawns to gain attention, the drama club fanatics – who believe William Shakespeare shall come again, the whores – who truly live up to their name, strutting the catwalk cough hallways and lunch tables cough in mini skirts and tube tops thinking they got what you don't, the lower classmen – who are to afraid they'll get beat up if they even utter a word, and we have what Inuyasha and his friends call the best posse in the world – consisting of the loners, the punks, the rockers, the stoners, the skaters, the prank-pullers/troublemakers and the Goths. These people are the backbone of the social latter. Inuyasha is among them, along with more than half the school. And Inuyasha is kind of the leader, or the king bee if you will. These people look up to him for their problems, though he has his own. He isn't an attention hog and actually doesn't like it sometimes. But one group that can't be associated with those other groups, because it's just oh so much better, is the preps…and this group's table just so happens to be in the very middle of all the others.

To be a part of all that is preppy, you basically just have to be rich and good looking, have everyone worshiping the ground you walk on and being someone you're not to impress your peers. For a guy, being considered rich, isn't 'Oh I live in a two story house and my dad is the owner of two shops at the mall.' Oh no, my friend. To be rich, your father or both parents have to be well known in the business world and instantly recognized when someone says your last name and last name alone. You have to live in a mansion, own some sort of land, and cruise into school every six months with a hot new ride (either a girl or a car, considering the circumstances, you choose). For a girl, it's a little different, but not by much. Yes, your father and/or your mother have to be associated in some way to the business world. And yes, you're supposed to live in a mansion with a large clump of land at your fingertips, and a nice new ride. But what just might be the most important is looking what's close to flawless and conspicuous, being a cheerleader for any seasonal sport where cheerleaders are needed, knowing all the scandalous dirt about someone and being the first to tell virgin ears about it, and finally, having a boyfriend richer than you. Reason? Duh! They can buy you stuff! First rule of money: never spend your own.

Back with Inuyasha:

After standing in line for about ten long minutes, Inuyasha ditched the burger line he was in and decided to go for pizza instead. After getting a slice of pepperoni and a bottle of kiwi strawberry flavored water, he finally made it over to a table with his friends.

"Hey guys, what's good?" He asked as he sat down.

"Nothing, man. I'm just chillen like the villain I is." Sango said, her head resting on her arms, on the table. Inuyasha took a bite of his pizza, and then took a sip of his water.

"I think I discovered something, guys." Miroku, said, looking a little spaced out. He poked at his food with his fork.

"And this would be…" Sango urged him to continue.

"That every student in the junior and senior classes belongs somewhere. Look there, for example." He pointed to three girls that just entered the cafeteria. "By the way those hotties look and the way I can feel their bitchy auras from here, they are definitely preps. They must be transferring this year too. Probably going to turn into some of the many Kikyo Sanada goons." He finished. Inuyasha took a sip of his water, set down the bottle, and then clasped his hands together.

"That was just brilliant. How do you come up with these scientific theories, Professor?" Inuyasha said with a smirk and Miroku rolled his eyes.

"Don't question how my brain works." Sango and Inuyasha snickered. There was a silence to follow and Sango grew anxious.

"Ok guys. I think I'm ready to put Operation B.B. underway."

"What's operation B.B.?" Inuyasha asked oblivious to Sango's plan.

"Operation Balloon Bombs. Yes, I filled up balloons with different colored paints and yes we are all going to go on the second floor of school and drop them when the lunch period ends, and everybody is coming out of the cafeteria." She said excitedly.

"Hell yeah! This will be awesome." Miroku said all pumped up. "Come on we only have a few minutes to set up." They all gathered all their things and headed up to the second floor, where Sango stashed the balloons.

"Ok guys. Five, four, three, two, one!"

RING-A-LING-A-LING

The bell sounded, as different groups of kids filed out of the cafeteria.

"Now!" Sango yelled. They tipped the bucket of balloons over the wooden banister and let the balloons fall…hitting every single person in their path. Screams and shouts were heard and when the group of three looked down, everyone was running around like wild chickens with their heads cut off.

"Mission accomplished!" they all gave each other high-fives and ran down the stairs. But before Inuyasha could celebrate more, he had to get one more person. Holding a white balloon filled with dark red paint, Inuyasha walked up behind his prey and lifted the balloon over her head. Everyone cleared out of the halls, talking about how refreshing that was for the first day back to school, and went to either get cleaned up or to go back to class…everyone except for a certain authority figure.

"Surprise!" he dropped it on the unsuspecting girl, leaving no mercy for her hair and clothes.

"You little bitch!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. She swung around looking for who did it, only to find it was that one boy from earlier that morning. The hanyou smirked.

"Say it again, and you'll wish you hadn't." though Kagome didn't know the guy, she wasn't one to be pushed around like this.

"Stupid douche whore!"

"Dumb bitch!"

"What did you call me?" she asked annoyed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That would be an insult to all those dumber than you!"

"You fucking loser. How much time did it take you to come up with that one?"

"Fuck off. We're done here."

"Guess what? It takes forty-two muscles to frown, but only three to raise my middle finger and say, SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!" she said flipping him off. Just then the principal decided to step in.

"You two! In my office NOW!" he pointed in the direction of his office, his face red with anger. Inuyasha and Kagome look at each other angrily, then stomped off to the principal's office.

--

The slight tick-tock of the clock in the quiet room was really starting to get to Kagome and if someone didn't talk soon, she was gonna go crazy on all their asses.

"One the first day of school…dropping paint balloons off of the second story floor, using vulgar language and skipping class-"

"We weren't skipping class. We were just about to walk there."

"Don't interrupt me, Mr. Takashi. Now," he paced in front of the two teens and massaged his temples, trying to avoid an upcoming migraine. "You two will be serving detention after school today."

"What? No I can't!" they both yelled in unison.

"Too bad. Go back to class now, before I get really angry." He pointed to his door and turned around in his high backed chair. At the sight of the vein popping out of his neck, Kagome didn't want to take any chances. She stood up without hesitation and walked out of his office and back to class with Inuyasha following. When they got outside, he decided to cause a little more trouble.

"YO, WENCH!" he called when they were a distance apart. Then he thought for a moment. "You going to come and kick my ass now that I called you that?" he teased. She stopped in her tracks, turned around and then walked up to him. She smiled slyly, and then put her hands on his shoulders, leaned up, her body against his, to whisper something to him.

"I don't like to waste my energy on anything that doesn't give me pleasure." She ran her pointer finger along his jaw, winked, and then walked away, leaving a stunned Inuyasha behind. She was turning the corner, when she decided to wink at him. "See you in detention, Turbo." She walked back to class, mentally patting herself on the back.

--

In detention, Kagome sat in her seat tapping her pencil on her desk.

"Could you please stop that?" he asked.

"Yes, yes I could…but then I wouldn't be annoying you." He narrowed his eyes at her, and then turned to look at clock, folding his arms over his chect. Kagome smiled to herself triumphantly and looked out the window. The detention supervisor opened the door.

"Just checking to see if you two troublemakers are still here." He was about to close the door, but Kagome stopped him.

"Wait, teach. I really need to go. I have to go pick up my little brother from school."

"Should have thought about that before you decided to skip class and use profane language." He closed the door.

"We did not skip class..." she sighed slowly, exasperated. "Goodbye overly cold classrooms. Goodbye trees outside. Goodbye all the greatest foods in the world. Good-"

"What the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha asked with amusement in his voice.

"Well…since I didn't pick up my little bro from school, I'm probably going to be killed and then thrown in a pond. Well maybe that's an exaggeration." She said as Inuyasha gave her a skeptical look.

"Yeah maybe just a little." He said emphasizing his point with his pointer and thumb.

"Whatever. If I'm lucky, he'll get a detention too."

"He's a troublemaker too, eh?" Inuyasha asked a little intrigued to learn more about this girl's life.

"Yep. He learned from the best." She said pointed to herself.

"Who?"

"Me you twit. Did you not just see the pointing to myself?" she asked, then sighed.

"What's the matter now?"

"I'm just sad the last person I have to see is you."

"Thanks. I'm feeling the love just radiating off of you." He said sarcastically.

"Yeah. Well if you'll excuse me. I need to go. Goodbye anonymous kid."

"It's Inuyasha."

"Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever." She waved him off and took her car keys from her pocket. "Later." She walked out of the classroom, the heavy door swinging closed behind her.

When Kagome was on her way to the parking lot, she smiled. Out of the two or three she owned, she loved this one the most. Her dad gave it to her when she turned sixteen. A black, hella powerful (V10 engine) Ford F250 double cab, with black and red interior, and hella nice 18" chrome rims. One either side of her car, there was two red and orange flame vinyls and her license plate read: 3MYVROM (otherwise known as 'love my vroom'). Boy did she love this car. Her stereo system was sick beyond belief and she just installed red neons underneath.

Kagome unlocked her car door and hopped in, and then she started and revved it up. The music that she already had in the CD player turned on and it just so happened to be her favorite song. Take It Away by The Used. She put her car in reverse and backed out about two inches, when her foot hit the brakes. She looked out in her rear view mirror and saw that it was a midnight blue Honda Civic, which just so happened to be blocking her way. She looked out her rolled down window, only to see that it was the new kid.

"What the hell dude? I need to get out." She honked her horn.

"Oh, I'm sorry…am I in you way?" he put on a charming smile, and his voice was laced with sarcasm.

"Hmm. Only a little." She retorted, her voice just as sarcastic.

"Ok, ok. I'll move." He pulled away and raced out of the parking lot to go pick up his own brother.

When Kagome pulled up to her little brother's school, and didn't see him waiting outside, she went straight for the school's office. And as she had suspected, he was right there sitting down on a bench, but he was with some other boy that looked around his age.

"Sota, who's this? The kid you got into trouble with?" she asked. He could hear the humor in her voice. He looked up from his shoes with a smile plastered on his face.

"Yeah. How did you know?" Sota asked.

"Just a hunch. Hey kid. What's your name?" Kagome asked the boy sitting next to her brother. He had been watching the whole conversation in amusement. The girl looked around the age of his brother. 'Maybe they know each other.' He thought.

"His name is Kito Takashi, and he's my younger brother." Kagome looked over her shoulder and smirked. It was that kid again. She knew that voice sounded familiar. She sighed softly.

"As fate would have it. Come on Sota. We got to get home before Suki has a hernia." he nodded and stood up.

"Hey Kito. Later man."

"Late." Kito said back, as the two departed out of the office's door.

"So. Are you friends with that kid, Sota?" she asked, looking back behind her. She popped a piece of bubble gum in her mouth.

"Yeah. He's way cool, especially because he's a demon. We've been like best friends since the fourth grade." Kagome thought about this. That means they've been best friends for about four years. They started to head home.

"How come you've never gone to his house?" Kagome asked.

"Well, I have, just not when you're around. And besides that, for a sixth grader like myself, there just isn't that much time in the world." Kagome raised an eyebrow, still focusing on the road though.

"I see. How so very interesting."

"Yes very. So you like that guy, don't you?" Sota said bluntly. Kagome slammed on the brakes and half-choked on the gum she was chewing.

"Uh, Sota. I think you got it wrong. I hate him with a passion, especially right now." She said regaining her composure.

"So there's passion somewhere in your feelings toward him. That means that you could get with him and then get married and then have children and I'd be an uncle by the age of fifteen. Wow my older sis is growing up so fast." He sarcastically squealed like a teenage girl.

"Don't ever squeal like that again." She said blowing a bubble.

"Oh, but darling. It's so much fun." He said waving his hand around femininely.

"Oh no! You've turned on me!" she yelled sarcastically. Then she smiled. It was moments like this that she loves with her brother. Since they are a little close in age and have the same interests, they get along really well. 'I guess that is a good break for everyone else.' She thought to herself.

"Well anyway, I still think you like him. Even if you don't see it now." He pointed out. Kagome looked over at her younger brother.

"Since when did you become an expert on relationships?"

"I don't know. I'm just pointing out what I see sis. That's all." The rest of the ride home was a silent one, besides the music in the background. Kagome pondered on what he had just said and Sota forgot about the whole thing, thinking about what they would have for dinner.

'I can't like him. He's my new enemy.' She thought to herself.
