Not Pretty Enough

Chapter 2: New People

Disclaimer: -Rumiko Takahashi steps in-

Rumiko: Hello! You might know me from such classics as Ranma ½ and Mason Ikokku! (AN: Please tell me if I spelled that wrong...) I am here to tell you that I am the owner of Inuyasha, no matter what that loon over there might say.

-Rumiko motions to me, and the camera zooms in as cackle insanely while hovering over a life-size model of Sesshomaru-

-Camera zooms back on Rumiko as she rolls her eyes-

Me: -off camera- Oh, but you never said you owned SESSHOMARU! Bwahaha! Now that I own him my plan to capture Inuyasha will be complete!

Rumiko: -talking on walkie talkie- Security... Security to level 3... Some assistance is needed in capturing a random freak...

-Camera zooms in on me. I am currently dancing-

-Security comes and takes me kicking and screaming away-

Rumiko: Back to what I was saying... I OWN INUYASHA! ME! NO ONE ELSE! MEEEE DAMMIT ME!! –Eye twitches-

-Kasey Chambers pops in-

Kasey: Just a reminder, she doesn't own me. I sold my soul LONG ago!

(Just a note: I don't know if Kasey Chambers really sold her soul. I just added that because I felt like it. I'm not saying she didn't though, because I haven't had the courage to ask her yet...)


I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me

I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break

I crave, I love, I've waited long enough

I try as hard as I can

Not Pretty Enough- (2nd verse) Kasey Chambers


Kagome found her locker without much trouble and got it open. She grabbed her science notebook, which was her first hour class, and put her bag away. Sango was just coming up the stairs from where her locker was on the first floor.

"Your first class is science right?" asked Sango, looking around her nervously and keeping an eye out for Miroku.

"Yes, can you show me where it is?"

Kagome still hadn't gotten the hang of such a big school. It looked like a freaking shopping mall, only they had less than 5 minutes to rush from "store" to "store" and there was a massive amount of people pushing them in the opposite direction.

"Hey Ladies..." Miroku said in what he thought was a smooth voice while putting an arm around Sango's shoulder.

"Get off me!" she hissed, but didn't do anything. Kagome suspected she liked Miroku just as much as he liked her and smiled to herself.

"Come on guys, we have to get to class." She said, walking toward the staircase.


After a few minutes she was in science with Sango while Miroku went off to history. The bell still hadn't gone off yet, so everyone was walking around and talking to their friends.

Kagome was deep in conversation about some television show or another when someone familiar walked in.

"Inuyasha..." she breathed, surprised at his beauty once again. It wasn't clean and sophisticated like Sesshomaru's, but something about him attracted her. Maybe she was one of those people who were attracted to underachievers...

She sighed, lost in her daydream, not noticing everyone was hurrying toward their seats in anticipation of the bell ringing.

She was leaning against a certain desk when she heard a gruff voice behind her.

"Hey, could ya move?"

She turned to see none other than Inuyasha behind her, and giving her an odd look.

She blushed and pulled back.

"So you are Inuyasha?" She asked, finally finding her voice.

He turned back to her.

"You are the new girl aren't you?" He said, sounding kind of shy and timid.

"Yeah, I moved here from Tokyo..." Kagome smiled warmly, and almost laughed out loud when she saw him blush.

Inuyasha had just proved to Kagome not to judge people by their appearance. She just couldn't believe that Inuyasha was so nice.

"Hey, um, new girl, the bell is about to ring, so you better go find a seat." He said and sat down with a small plop in his seat.

Kagome looked around her for the first time and saw an empty seat next to Sango. In fact, Sango was looking at Kagome and trying to suppress laughter.

When Kagome got to her seat, she started talking.

"I can't believe you! You like HIM? Of all the guys!" Sango couldn't hold back the laughter any longer.

"Well at least I don't love a perverted lecher." Kagome shot back.

Sango stopped laughing and turned to Kagome.

"I do not like Miroku."

"Who said I was talking about Miroku? You must like him if that is who you thought of..." Kagome said teasingly.

Before Sango could attack her the bell rang. She passed Kagome a note written in pink sparkly pen.

You're so dead It said in its pink sparkly brilliance. The colour just brought the threat down a notch or two, and Kagome could barely hold back her laugh.

She wrote a reply:

Miroku will be so happy when he finds out...

She passed the note and almost laughed again at the expression on her face.

The reply came shortly.

You wouldn't dare...

Kagome just smiled and decided to put the note away, the teacher was coming around.

After science the little note had been forgotten, and Kagome and Sango headed for their lockers. Kagome had band and Sango had choir.

"You are such a band geek." teased Sango, while she grabbed her song folder from her locker.

"And proud of it." Kagome replied. She felt a hand tap her shoulder and turned quickly. Inuyasha was standing behind her and looked rather menacing.

"Um, yes?" Asked Kagome nervously, wondering what he could want from her.

"You forgot this in science." He said roughly, and then shoved a textbook in her hands.

"Uh, thanks..." She stammered in vain, for Inuyasha was already out of ear shot.

After a few minutes of silence Sango broke in.

"Well that was rather odd..."

Kagome nodded, and turned toward where Sango said the band room was.

The halls were swamped with people and she had to beat people to the ground with her clarinet case to get through. Most gave her glares and the others didn't even notice. (A/N: My weapon of choice is in fact the clarinet case just for this reason)

After what seemed like hours of battling against the current of students she broke through. The band room should be right ahead of her if Sango was right about where it was.

"F.A.Cs... Biology... Art..." Kagome muttered to herself.

No, this wasn't right. She must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Ah crap. Here she was in a huge school and now she was lost to boot. She sighed and slumped against a wall. Maybe she could just stand here until someone helped her...

"Kagome? Is that you?" said a voice to her right.


A/N: End of the 2nd chapter! Sorry it kind of sucks, I've been procrastinating and decided I really should finish all the chapters I've started. I promise it will get better later. For now, please read and review!

Who is the mysterious person? I'll tell you one thing; it's not Inuyasha, Miroku or Sango! Wait, that's 3 things! Oh well. Guess and you'll get the honor of being right! (And oh, what an honor that would be!)

((This is my plot to get more reviews... Ha, like it really will work...))
