Chapter 2 New Friends—

'Ok so far, so good. Just one more class to go.' Thought Kagome as she ran to ninth period history. She had gone all day without seeing Kouga and she wanted to keep it that way. Sure, she had to run to class and eat lunch in a closet, but it was worth it. The late bell rang just as Kagome stepped into the classroom.

"Hi, Kagome, pleasure seeing you here."

'Oh no, this can't be happening!' "Hello, Kouga" she said 'did he switch history classes or something? Just when I thought my day was going so good!'

"I didn't know you had this class," said Kouga obviously lying.

"Really? That's odd I didn't know you had this class, either!" she said in a mocking voice as she took her seat.

"Well, I just switched in" he said with a smile as he sat down next to her.

'This is going to be a long class.' Kagome thought as the teacher began to talk.

45 minutes later

"As you all probably know four nights from now, on Saturday, the Comet Forsey will fly in the direct path of the moon, this is something it hasn't done in thousands of years. Does anyone know what will happen then?" asked the teacher

Kagome who had been one of the few listening thought about what the teacher said 'A comet flying through the path of the moon? That sounds just like the dream I had.' Without knowing what she was doing Kagome slowly raised her hand.

"Ah, yes, Miss Higurashi do you know the answer?" the teacher asked

"Everything will be covered it a bright red light." Kagome answered calmly

"No, I'm sorry but that's not the answer I was looking for. Better luck next time." She said and gave Kagome a strange look, while everyone else whispered about her weird behavior.

'Great work, now everyone thinks you're crazy!' Kagome thought as the bell rang. 'I can't believe I said that. Now I'll never make friends.' With a sigh she slowly put her books away.

That Night

"Kagome, dear are you hungry? You went to bed without dinner. Are you feeling all right? Should I get a doctor?" Asked Mrs. Higurashi as she knocked on Kagome's bedroom door.

"No mom I'm fine, I just have a lot of homework." Replied Kagome.

"Well, if you say so, I'm leaving now and I won't be back 'till late."

"Leaving? Where are you going?"

"Didn't I tell you? Mr. Wolf is having a party and he asked me to come. He even got a small blimp set up in the front yard; I saw them set it up this morning. I have to go now or I'll be late. I'll see you in the morning. I love you, Goodnight."

"I love you too. Have fun." Said Kagome. 'I guess I get the whole house to myself' she thought.

Meanwhile

"Inuyasha, you can't leave!" Said a frightened man with violet eyes.

"And why not?" Said an impatient Inuyasha

"Because then you'll be leaving me here with Kikyo! How will Sango and I ever get any alone time?" He said as Inuyasha sweat dropped.

"Keh." was all Inuyasha said before he turned into a bat and flew out the window. Miroku then turned around to find Sango and avoid Kikyo.

'Stupid, Miroku! I don't want to see Kikyo anymore then he does, that's why I'm leaving. I can't stand the way she follows me around like a lost puppy! So what if I use to date her! That was a hundred years ago!' thought Inuyasha as he searched for some fresh blood. Suddenly, out of nowhere Inuyasha was blinded by the strong lights of a truck that was following close behind him. This is what all vampires fear most, a vampire hunter.

He was right behind Inuyasha, but he was smarter then he looked so instead of taking the road, Inuyasha cut across a field in search for a place to hide. That is when he saw it, it was Kikyo but she was inside someone's house and dressed differently. She was also in the light, which would normally have killed her but she seemed fine. Inuyasha would have thought more of this if he wasn't being chased, but for now it was his only hope. So with all the strength he could he flew into the open window and transformed into his normal silver haired self, only to be blinded once again and forced to hide in the fireplace.

"Kikyo! Why isn't the light burning your skin and why are you dressed like that?" yelled Inuyasha from the safety of the fireplace.

Kagome was shocked. She was thinking of how stupid she acted in class and then the next thing she knew a bat, or what she thought was a bat, flew in her room, turned into a old man, ran into the fireplace and was now yelling at her! This was definitely the weirdest thing that has ever happened to her.

"Hello? Are you deaf and dumb now Kikyo?" yelled the old man.

Kagome looked closer at the 'old man' and saw that he really wasn't old, but probably around her age. He was definitely different then any boy she has ever seen. He had not white hair as she first thought but silver and his eyes were a brilliant shade of gold. To say the least he was very cute, if you looked past the pale skin, old clothes, the vampire teeth, and the fact that he keeps calling her Kikyo. Wait vampire teeth!?!

"Wh—Who are you?" Kagome asked

"What the? Kikyo you really are dumb. It's me!" He yelled

"I'm not Kikyo, and I'm not dumb." she yelled letting her anger get the better of her. "My name is Kagome! And I want to know what you are doing in my room?"

"What do you mean you're not Kikyo?" Inuyasha looked at the girl in front of him. 'What 's Kikyo trying to pull? Wait a minute- Kikyo has brown eyes she has blue!' "You really aren't Kikyo are you?"

"No I'm not. I'm Kagome. Ka-go-me!"

"Keh, Fine." Said Inuyasha realizing his mistake "Shut the lights off wench, or are you trying to kill me!?!"

'This guy is a total jerk! Why should I shut the lights off? It's my room! He didn't even tell me his name! Hmmmm' "Not until you tell me your name," she said

"What? Oh, it's Inuyasha. Happy? Now turn off the lights!"

"OK, OK!" Kagome shut off the lights. "Now, what are you? Why are you in my room? And will you please get out of my fireplace!"

"Stupid wench, you ask too many questions!" he yelled

"You don't answer enough!"

"Keh." Was all he said as he got out of the fireplace and looked around. "OK, I'm a vampire and I was running from a vampire hunter. There! Happy!" Kagome would have answered, but she was too busy looking at what he was wearing. She couldn't help the feeling that she had seen him before.

Inuyasha noticed the strange look she was giving him. "Oi! What are you staring at?"

"Have we met?"

"No."

"Are you sure? You Look familiar."

"Listen, we haven't met, and it was a mistake that we even met tonight. Now I have to go and find some cow's blood, that chase took a lot out of me." He said as he turned to leave.

"Wait! Why do you drink cow's blood? I thought vampires drank human blood?" she asked

"We use to drink human blood but then it became a problem, so we just stick to cows. Although I haven't had a good human in a long time, and you're looking pretty good." He said, trying to scare her.

It worked and Kagome, scared for her life, turned on the light causing Inuyasha to jump out the window. This would be ok if he wasn't as weak as he was.

"Oh my God, I think I killed him!" yelled Kagome as she looked out the window at Inuyasha who made a nice imprint on the front lawn. "Inuyasha, are you OK? I'll be right down."

Kagome ran through the house and into the yard to find a very pissed off Inuyasha.

"What are you trying to do? Kill me!?!" he yelled

"That's what you get for trying to scare me! Now look at you! You can barely stand up. Here, let me help." Kagome went to his side to support him and they slowly walked to the barn down the street. Inuyasha would have argued if he weren't so tired.

At The Barn

"It's about time." Said Inuyasha

"Well if you weren't so heavy it would be lot easier" Kagome said "Here, just get your blood so we can leave if my mom finds out I'm gone. I'll be grounded for a month!"

"That's not my problem, now is it? I didn't ask you to come!"

"You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me!"

"Keh." he said before biting into the cow.

'GROSS!' "I'm going to wait outside." Said Kagome, obviously grossed out.

"Don't you want some?" Said Inuyasha with a smile

"No thanks, I prefer my hamburgers cooked," She said on her way out the door. Once she got outside she was blinded by intense light coming from a truck up the road. She couldn't see who was in the drivers seat but she had a gut feeling that it was the vampire hunter Inuyasha was talking about.

"..." Kagome stood there speechless as the vampire hunter drove towards her unwilling to stop. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact of the monstrous truck, but just before it could strike Kagome felt her body being pulled off the ground then pure weightlessness.

"Oi! Wench, you can open your eyes now" Inuyasha whispered in her ear.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes.

"Ahhhhh!" she screamed. She now saw that she was in Inuyasha arms and flying over the town. Inuyasha held her tighter.

"It's ok! I won't drop you." Inuyasha said. "And don't scream so loud! Are you trying to make me go deaf?" This just caused Kagome to pull closer to him. 'Stupid wench, why did she have to scream? I almost dropped her! I don't know why she's holding on so tight, it's not like I would let her go.' Suddenly sniffsniff 'Hey what's that smell? It's like lilacs or some other kind of flower... it's kind of nice'

"Inuyasha, are you sniffing me?" asked Kagome

"Wha? N-No" Inuyasha shook his head to get rid of unwanted thoughts. "Of course not! Why would I sniff a stupid wench like you!?!"

"Whatever, can you put me down, please?" said Kagome getting mad at Inuyasha's attitude towards her.

"Keh, Fine" He slowly set her down.

"A blimp?" she asked. "I thought you were going to put me down?"

"I did put you down"

"Yeah, on a blimp!? This isn't what I had in mind."

"Well you should have been more specific."

"My mom's at that party! What if she sees me?" she yelled

"Really, like your mom will believe that you're out of bed and on a blimp in the middle of the night." he said

"True, but why did you pick here of all places?"

"I don't know, but the view is amazing!"

He was right. Kagome looked up from Inuyasha to look at the view, you could see everything from the blimp. The town looked so peaceful and the stars shone beautifully in the night sky.

"Wow." Was all she could say.

"We better go, it'll be sunrise soon" Said Inuyasha

"Yeah."

Inuyasha picked her up and flew her home.

"Thank you, Inuyasha" Said Kagome as she climbed in her bedroom window.

'Did she just thank me? She's the one that saved my life and she's thanking me?' thought Inuyasha.

"No problem. Well, I better go and you better get to bed. You mortals sleep at night, or did you forget?"

Kagome giggled, "No, I didn't forget. Are you going to be ok to fly home?" She asked

'Did she giggle? It was kind of cute—NO, I did not just think that!' Inuyasha was so busy thinking that he didn't see Kagome waving her hand in front of his face.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha, did you hear me?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, of course I did. I'm not deaf, wench!"

"Well, are you going to stay or not?" she asked and looked him right in the eye

"Fine, but I'm only staying because it's almost sunrise and I won't have time to get home. So, where should I sleep?" He said looking back at her.

"How about the closet?"

"Sure, whatever" He said as he got in the closet.

"Goodnight, Inuyasha." Said Kagome as she got into bed. 'Maybe this day wasn't so bad. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.' She thought while going to sleep.

"Goodnight, Kagome." Inuyasha whispered too low for her to hear.
