-Kasey Chambers walks up to me-
Kasey: Um... No you don't...
Me: Actually, if you look at this deed...
Kasey: That's for Inuyasha. Not me.
Me: Huh, would you look at that. I guess I DO own Inuyasha.
-Rumiko Takahashi walks up to me and holds up a REAL Inuyasha deed-
Rumiko: That deed is a fake.
Me: How can you tell?
Rumiko: It's written with a crayon for starters, and even on your fake deed it says that I own Inuyasha.
Me: Damn you! Damn you! One day! One day vengeance will be mine! –Flies away cackling-
Rumiko: .... 0.o..... Well I guess that leaves me to introduce this brand new fanfiction...

Me: Fine. –Sticks out tongue-
Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken?
Don't I make you laugh? Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me?
-Kasey Chambers, Not Pretty Enough
It was now officially the last day of summer. Freedom seemed to leave with summer as school was due to start the next day. Kagome didn't want the last of summer to leave, so when she should have been preparing to go to her new school she was out in her pool catching the lingering rays of the summer sun.
She had just moved into the small neighborhood from a cramped apartment in the middle of Tokyo a few days before and was just beginning to meet her neighbors. Luckily there was a girl who would be going to her school that lived next door. Sure, she was a bit violent at times and some people thought she was a crazed maniac. Or so she was told by a boy who all the violence was directed to. Sango (That being the girl's name) said he deserved it and Kagome just left it at that. Miroku (That being the boy) had a reputation of being rather lecherous at times...
After swimming, she went to finish with unpacking her many boxes of things into her new room. Her raven black hair was held out of her face by a black bandana. She couldn't find any of her hair clips, though she thought they might be in the last few boxes she unpacked.
Kagome smiled to herself as she pulled out a picture from when she was six. It showed her hugging a small kitten. She still had that cat, and in fact it was sleeping on her bed at that exact moment. She went over to scratch Buoyo's ears and he gave a sleepy meow of protest before settling back to sleep.
"KAGOME! DINNER!" Called her mother's voice from the kitchen.
Whoa. Where had the time gotten to? She glanced at her digital alarm and was shocked to see it was 6:36. No wonder she was so hungry, she had been up in her room since 5:00.
"Coming mum!" She called, then got up and smoothed out her blue jeans and walked out the door.
Dinner was pleasant. Her younger brother Souta was busy talking about the new friends he had already made and something about video games. After dinner Kagome decided to be nice and help her mother with the dishes before heading back into her room.
By the time she got into her room she felt a wave of tiredness wash over her. She cleared a small space off of her bed and sat on the edge, looking at the piles of things littering her room. She grabbed her backpack, making sure to throw everything in she would need for school the next morning. She then cleared off the rest of her bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
The next morning Kagome was awoken by the shrill screech of her alarm going off at 6:00 a.m. She moaned and whacked the alarm, making it stop its horrendous beeping, only to be awoken 20 minutes later by her mother yelling, rivaling the alarm.
"Alright already, I'm up!" sighed an exasperated Kagome, who was clearly not a morning person. She took a quick shower and threw on her school uniform, which consisted of a green skirt and sailor fuku. (A/N: I'm not all too sure of what a fuku is, so please bear with me...)She grabbed a slice of toast before kissing her mum goodbye.
"Have a nice day Kagome, and try not to be late..."
Once she caught the bus without any mishap she happily found a seat next to Sango and Miroku, who were currently battling something out. Actually, Sango was whacking him and Miroku wasn't doing much but sit with his eyes glazed over.
"What did he do THIS time?" asked Kagome while trying to keep from laughing.
Sango had a deep blush across her cheeks and stuttered something Kagome couldn't understand.
Miroku just smiled and said "It was worth the pain."
That little comment of his earned him another whack across his already bruised head, but the glazed look remained on his face.
"I guess I'm happy not knowing..." Kagome smiled, and turned around just as the bus stopped in front of another bus stop.
The doors opened and in stepped this guy who looked like he was a senior. He had long silver hair that seemed to shimmer in the morning air and an expressionless face. His clothing was in perfect condition without a wrinkle or a crease anywhere. Following him was a hoard of girls with huge adoring eyes. Actually, she noticed that most of the girls had turned to stare.
"FLUFFY!" shouted one of them as they rushed to scoot over to give him a seat. He took an empty seat by the window instead, much to his group's displeasure.
The bus began to go on to the next stop when someone started banging loudly against the outside of the bus's door.
"OY! YOU FORGOT SOMEONE OUT HERE!" Shouted the voice of a boy that the bus driver seemed to have forgotten about...
The bus pulled to an immediate stop and the doors swung hurriedly open in time for another guy, this time that looked to be about a sophomore or so, like Kagome.
He had the same silver hair of the other guy, who Kagome assumed to be his brother, but he didn't have a fangirl mob. Kagome didn't wonder why though, he seemed in a much sadder state then the other one. Instead of a cool expressionless face anger was engraved upon his features. Also, his clothing seemed rather disheveled, as if it had been lying around on his bedroom floor.
He glared at the bus river before heading back to find a seat, a rather difficult task seeing as everyone who had begged his brother to sit by them now had moved all their things onto their seats, giving him no room to sit.
His eyes scanned over the whole bus and when they met Kagome's she could have sworn she saw a tinge of sadness fill their amber depths, but he blinked and it was gone.
That was when she realized her seat was open and he was quickly heading toward it. He plopped into it, and turned to scowl at her. The anger left his face for a brief second, and it was then Kagome noticed he was actually quite handsome. She was about to ask his name, but he turned his back on her and stayed that way for the entire ride to school.
When the bus ride finally ended, the boy next to her was the first one out of his seat and out of the door. Sango smiled reassuringly at her.
"Don't worry about him not talking to you or anything. That was Inuyasha Sengoku."Kagome gasped.
"The Inuyasha Sengoku?"
Sango nodded. The Sengoku's were a rather famous family. It seemed their father owned a large business back in Tokyo that practically everyone had heard about, and they were quite rich.
"So his brother was Sesshomaru Sengoku?"
Sango nodded again.
Kagome was still rather shocked. She sat next to Inuyasha and didn't even realize it! She always thought he would at least be more polite, but shrugged it off. She had bigger things to worry about, like finding her first hour class.
AN: Woo. First chapter is now done! I like the way this story is starting out. Sorry about the rambling in the beginning, I was bored and am easily amused. I really should get that fixed... Aw, it can't hurt anything.
