Kagome stood alone at the top of the hill. She was in a black and white gym uniform. She and her gym class were playing the dreaded Frisbee Golf! Kagome hated it. Kagome hated school even more. She had no friends and was generally a quiet and with-drawled person. Kagome heard a scream. "WATCH OUT!" Kagome turned just in time to get nailed in the face by a frisbee. Kagome's hands flew up to clutch her bleeding cheek. "Higurashi you need to learn NOT to stand in the way of people's throws. This cut will teach you. It'll leave a scar. Now go to the nurses." Coach Gin-Kay snapped. Kagome dropped her frisbee and ran to the infirmary. The nurse cleaned the gash on Kagome's cheek and put a bandage on her cheek. Kagome looked at her watch. Gym was over and people were changing now. Kagome ran to the locker room and changed hurriedly, ignoring the chatter of the locker room. Kagome locked her locker and grabbed her books and went into the gym to wait. Kikyo Gishu stuck her foot out and tripped Kagome. Kagome fell and threw her arm out to stop the fall. The crack was heard throughout the gym. Kagome's entire arm began shaking. Blood pooled where her hand met the floor. "Higurashi you klutz! This is the second time today you've hurt yourself!" Coach yelled. Kagome was pale and was restraining tears.
Kagome's arm was broken and she needed stitches. Kagome picked out a red cast. Red was her favorite color for some reason. Kagome's mother and brother sat in the lobby of the hospital waiting. Kagome emerged from the emergency room, pale and quiet. This was nothing new. She was always like this except when she went to the zoo. Exotic animals were interesting to Kagome. Kagome sighed as she got into her mother's car. "Kagome please try and be more careful." "Sorry Mother." Kagome replied.
Kagome was quiet the rest of the day and the next morning Kagome dressed in her plain uniform and left for school. Kagome walked at a slow and leisure pace, having nothing to look forward to. Kagome reached her school and saw the gates closed. She sighed and began climbing over the brick wall. She stood up shakily. "Hey you!" a male voice called. Kagome turned too quickly and she lost her balance and began free-falling to the ground. Kagome clenched her eyes closed and prepared for a bone jarring slam onto the pavement below. It never came. When Kagome opened her eyes she was looking into the beautifully golden orbs of the teen that had saved her. "Are you alright?" the boy asked kindly, setting her down. "Yes." Kagome said, lowering her head. "What are you doing climbing that wall anyway and with a broken arm too?" "If the gates closed and we're caught outside we have to run 10 laps." "That doesn't sound fair. Your arm's broken so you shouldn't have to run." "That's what you would think." "Oh. Well, I'm Inuyasha." "I'm Kagome." she replied. "It's nice to meet a friendly face. I'm just starting here. Do you think that you could show me where my classes are?" "Oh…sure…I guess." Kagome murmured, blushing. "How did you break your arm?" Inuyasha inquired. "I just tripped!" Kagome said quickly. No one would believe her if she told them that Kikyo had tripped her. Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, but said nothing. "Come on Kagome, let me give you a boost." Inuyasha said, scooping Kagome up bridal-style. Kagome blushed redder and gasped. Inuyasha jumped up onto the wall and then down onto the other side. He set Kagome down and smiled at her. "There ya go." he said. Kagome smiled back and started to walk away. When she noticed Inuyasha wasn't following she turned. "Come on, Inuyasha, I'll show you to your homeroom. Which one do you have?" "Mr. Tyke." "I have him too!" Kagome smiled.
Kagome regained her quiet demeanor as she entered class. "Higurashi, why are you late and who is that?" Mr. Tyke inquired as she moved to her seat. "I'm Inuyasha Tashio. And Kagome was late because she was showing me around." Inuyasha winked at Kagome and she blushed in return. "Very well. Tashio you can sit next to Higurashi." Mr. Tyke said, nodding. Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome. She tried to focus on her work and Mr. Tyke's lecture, but when Inuyasha slipped her a note, she couldn't just pretend she didn't see it. Kagome opened the note and read what it said.
You seem really quite now unlike outside. Something bothering you Kags?
-Inuyasha
No, nothing's bothering me. I'm just the quiet type of person.
Kagome
Are you sure? I'm worried about you, Kags.
-Inuyasha
Really Inuyasha, I'm fine. I just don't really have many friends so I'm all about working to get good grades.
-Kagome
Huh? Grades? What are those? I personally hate school, I just come cuz it's the law. I prefer to ride my motorcycle and play my guitar. And you said you didn't have very many friends, why?
-Inuyasha
I don't have very many friends because I'm known as a klutz and I just don't talk to others much. Most people think I'm a bitch.
-Kagome
Kags, I don't think you're a bitch and I'll be your friend if you want.
-Inuyasha
Why would you want to be friends with a nobody like me when you could be friends with all of the other popular people?
-Kagome
I don't think it would be a waste of time. I like you Kags. you seem like you'd be a fun person to hang around with. Besides, I don't think I'd exactly fit in with the Abercrombie and Fitch wearers. I think they'd lynch me or something.
-Inuyasha
If your sure, then yes, I'd like to be friends. Just don't blame me when people ignore you simply because your talking to me.
-Kagome
So, can I give you a ride home on my bike?
-Inuyasha
Your bike! Of course! I've always wanted to ride on a motorcycle!
-Kagome
Okay. I'll meet you in the front of the school after last period.
Bye bye
Inuyasha
Kagome folded the note and slid it into her pocket, deciding she'd cherish it forever.
