Kagome slipped into her second period class quite late. While returning, the club's bus had been stuck behind an unusually large traffic jam. Now the second class of the day was half over. Luckily Mr. Docolm had given each club member a hall pass and a note explaining where they had been and why they were late. Kagome handed her note to the teacher. He took the note, read it, nodded, and waved Kagome to an empty seat. Kagome grinned, noting it was next to Sango. The teacher returned to his lecture on mathematical matrixes.
Kagome took her seat and bent down to pull her books out of her bag. Upon straightening up again, she noticed a little piece of folded paper waiting for her. Placing her books on the desk, Kagome unfolded the paper to find a note.
Where were you? –Sango
The note's recipient pulled out her pen and jotted down the reply underneath the message.
I got invited to be part this club that visits an orphanage once a week. I'll tell you more after class. Don't reply to this, I don't like getting in trouble. –Kagome
Kagome looked over at Sango who seemed to be paying full attention to the class's lesson. A quiet snap alerted Kagome to her friend's outstretched hand under her desk. Kagome slipped the note into it and Sango opened it. She read it, turned to Kagome, and nodded.
"Miss Kagome, why haven't you opened your book yet?"
Kagome squeaked and hurriedly pulled her book in front of her, flipping it open to the page written on the board.

"So tell me more about this club you joined." Sango prompted, "When did you join? Where did you go?" They were on their way to gym. Although both girls agreed that the subject was more aimed towards the boys of the class, they suspected it had to do with the gym teacher, it was a required subject.
"I told you, we went to an orphanage." Kagome explained. She repeated most of what various club members had told her that morning, excluding the part about the club being exclusive. "And I joined this morning. The president of the club asked me last minute to join."
"That's so cool!" Sango exclaimed, "I wish they had asked me! I definitely would have joined! So what's the kid you're watching like?"
"His name's Shippo." Kagome replied, "And he's really cute. He acted all polite and he told me how he stands up for all the girls in his class and stuff like that!"
Sango laughed. "It sounds like he'll grow up to be quite the gentleman." She commented.
Kagome joined in with her own chuckle. "I think he's already- Oh!"
As the two turned the corner, Kagome bumped into a boy had been running around the same one at the same time. The boy was able to stay upright, but the force he had exerted on Kagome sent her flying back a foot and landing on her back on the ground, her books scattering everywhere.
"I'm so sorry!" the boy exclaimed, looking down at her with concern. "Are you alright!"
She sat up, rubbing her head. "Yeah." Kagome replied, "Sorry about walking into you like that."
Sango frowned, watching the scene before her play out.
The boy offered a hand to help her up. "It should be me apologizing." He told her, "Sometimes I start running so fast I don't notice people around me. Hi. I'm Koga Ookami."
"Kagome Higurashi." She looked up taking his offered hand and blushed. The boy was so handsome! He had blue eyes and wore his hair, which was on the long side, in a high ponytail. Koga smirked seeing the blush, but didn't make a comment.
"Miss Higurashi, Mr. Ookami, Miss Tsukisto." A teacher called. They all looked over to see one of the newer teachers approaching. "What's going on here? Don't you have classes to be getting to?"
Kagome bowed quickly. "Sorry." She said quickly.
"I bumped into Kagome here." Koga explained, giving Kagome a quick nod, "I was helping her collect her books."
The teacher raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?…" she trailed off. "Keep an eye on the time then. It would not be in your best measures to be late to a class. It is only the second day of school you know."
"Yes ma'am." Kagome agreed, bowing again, "I'm very sorry!"
"Just continue on your way." She replied sighing. With that she walked off.
Koga knelt down and started to pick up Kagome's books. "You don't have to do that." Kagome insisted, kneeling down next to him.
"But I do." He replied, "I bumped into you and I'm showing that I'm sorry."
Kagome blushed again. They both straightened up and Koga handed Kagome her books. "Thank you." Kagome told him.
"You're welcome." Koga replied, "Hey, you want to do something after school today? I could bring you to WacDonalds. My treat."
"That's very kind of you, but I've got detention today." She admitted.
"Maybe another day then."
"No!" Inuyasha growled, stomping up to the group. "She's not interested so leave her alone."
"Well if it isn't Mutt Face." Koga said smirking. He turned back to Kagome. "I'll talk to you later when this idiot" he jabbed a thumb at Inuyasha, "Isn't around. See you Kagome!"
Inuyasha scowled at the boy and then looked over at Kagome. "Stay away from him." He warned, "Koga's no good."
"He seemed nice enough to me." Kagome replied, thoroughly confused. Weren't they mad at each other? She guessed not any more. Inuyasha wasn't one to keep grudges… at least not with her. Anyone else, yes. But not Kagome. And what did Inuyasha have against Koga?
"He's just no good, okay? Stay away from him." The hanyou's tone was gruff, but it held an unusual softness as well.
"Uh, okay." Kagome replied, a bit taken aback.
The bell rang. A nearby classroom door slammed open and a teacher came out. "Mr. Taisho!" he half shrieked, "Why in the world did you just burst out of the classroom! I may know how you act during school, having been your teacher since you arrived at this school, but this is totally new! Get back in here! You're getting a behavioral detention today!"
"I told you I'd get one." Inuyasha told Kagome under his breath, "See you this afternoon." He sauntered back into the classroom.
"And girls!" the teacher snapped, "You're also late to your classes! Get going!"
"Yes sir." Kagome said, walking steadily towards the girl's locker room. Sango followed her.
"I think I know why Inuyasha wants you to stay away from Koga." Sango commented as they rushed towards the room.
"Yeah?" Kagome asked, "Why?"
"Koga's a demon."
"Are you sure?"
Sango nodded. "Did you notice his eyes? Not the fact that they were blue, just the way they looked. He was definitely not human."
"Now that you mention that I did see it." Kagome replied, heading into the locker room. It was already empty. "But not all demons are bad."
"But Inuyasha said he's no good." Her friend reasoned, "Maybe this one is."
"Maybe." Kagome agreed. But inside she did not agree. Something was telling her that there was nothing wrong with Koga. And that Inuyasha's responce to her interaction to the guy was totally normal. Nothing to worry about.


Wow! I got the most reviews I've ever gotten for this story last chapter! Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

I just want to say that I've got a new story! YAY! It's not on but you can find the link on my profile! Check it out!

Will Sesshoumaru meet Rin in an orphanage?
It was one of my ideas to get the kid in the story. Rin's one of my favorite characters so she definitely will be in the story. But will Sesshoumaru meet her at the orphanage? Probably not. Why would Sesshy be there anyways? I've got a few other things up my sleeve for getting Rin in the story.

What's up with all the bowing Kagome's doing?
I'd think any anime fan should know this. Bowing is a polite thing to do in Japan. It shows respect.

Ookami? What kind of last name is that!
Quite a good one for Koga. Ookami is the Japanese word for wolf if you didn't know.

What's going to happen in the next chapter?
Now why would I tell you that? I don't like spoilers. But I will tell you that you can find a very vague explanation somewhere in this chapter. Yes I know it's obvious. But the end won't be! Oops! O.O Said too much!
