Chapter One: New School

By: Ka-Youkai

She thought to herself as she walked to school, 'I wonder why he didn't want me to wait for him? Yesterday, he said that we would walk to school together. Oh well…'

As she walked, her green skirt blew in the wind along with her raven hair. Her name is Kagome Higurashi. She's a 15-year-older, just starting high school, who had gray-blue eyes filled with emotion. But, it's hard to tell what emotion.

She was wearing her new school uniform, and she hated it. The skirt was half the length of her middle school uniform skirt. The shirt was plain white with long sleeves. She had short sleeved shirts, but it was chilly outside that day.

She shifted her bag on her shoulder. It was filled with her books she got from school a few days earlier. She would've put them in her locker then, but she didn't have the combination.

She had all the regular subjects: geometry, biology, history, English, but she didn't have P.E. Instead, she had some class called "M.I.T." Not that she was complaining about not having P.E.

She walked up the steppes of Shikon no Tama high school. She was 45 minutes early. There were some students in the front courtyard catching up with friends, and talking about summer.

As she reached the top of the steppes, she pulled out a slip of paper from the pocket in her skirt. On the paper was:

Locker: 658

Combination: 26-4-16

She started walking through the main hall. Nobody was in the school, until she turned a corner. She saw a guy coming form the men's bathroom.

He had long silver hair, and golden eyes which looked in her direction. He was wearing the boys' uniform which was black pants, and a black button-up shirt that had a pocket on the left side.

As he walked pass her, he glanced at her. Kagome just looked forward, and kept walking.

When Kagome was in the right hallway, she started looking for her locker number. '655...656...57...58! Found it!' she thought.

She tried her combination, and got it open on the first try.

"I can't believe my locker is next to yours!" a female voice said behind Kagome.

"Now, I have to look at your face everyday. Maybe I'll just bulge my eyes out," Kagome shot back.

The girl had long black hair in a high ponytail, with light brown eyes. She wore the same uniform as Kagome, but she had on black jacket. The jacket had patches on it of different bands.

The two girls burst into laughter as they hugged.

"It's sooooo good to see you, Kagome!" the girl said.

"You too, Sango! How was your summer?" Kagome asked as she put unneeded books in her locker.

"It was good. Kohaku, dad, and I went to America. We got souvenirs for everyone. I was going to bring yours, but I was afraid we might not have any classes together, or even see each other!" Sango said doing the same as Kagome. "What 'bout you?"

"The family went to Korea," Kagome said closing her locker.

"You didn't go with them! Kagome! You've been dying to go!" Sango said shocked.

"Yeah, but I caught the flu. I told them to go without me," Kagome sighed, "Mom was reluctant, but I convinced her to go."

"Same old Kagome. Always making everyone else happy. Just remember what Rin and I told you," Sango said closing her locker. Kagome nodded.

Just then, three guys, dressed in their uniforms, came walking down the hall. When they passed, one of them bumped into Sango causing her to drop the book she held in her hands.

"Excuse you," Sango said squatting down to pick up her books.

"You should watch were I'm going," the guy who bumped into her said.

"Maybe if your ego wasn't so big, you'd see where you're going!" Sango shot back.

The guys stopped, and turned around. "Watch who you're messin' with, freshmen," their "leader" said.

"You better watch who you're messing with," Kagome said helping Sango up.

"Who do you think you are?" the guy asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"The names Kagome Higurashi," Kagome said putting her hands on her hips.

"Y-you're…Souta Higurashi's…little sister…?" another guy asked scared.

Their leader was scared, but then regained his stance. "So what? I'm not afraid of some junior!"

"You should be, Damon," a female voice said from behind Kagome and Sango.

They turned around, and were facing a group of about 10 students all dressed in their uniforms.

"Yeah, right. I can take on one guy," Damon said confidentially.

"Heh…who said it would just be him beating the crap outta ya?" it was the guy Kagome saw when she was coming down the hallway, who said that.

"Souta, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't scare me," Damon said.

"Oh, really?" the girl asked. She had long black hair flowing freely on her shoulders. Her eyes were dark brown that almost looked black.

Damon took a step back, "No. No one!" he said.

"Damon, get lost," a guy, standing next to the guy with silver hair, said.

"No," Damon smiled standing his ground.

"Move," a voice said from behind Damon.

"What?" Damon asked turning around.

A girl, Kagome and Sango's age, stood behind him. She had on the same uniform as everyone else. On her right shoulder, she had a large scar. It was hard to tell where it started, but it ended about a half inch above her elbow. She had a schoolbag on her right shoulder, and was holding a guitar case in her left hand.

"You're in my way…move," she said again.

"Who do you think you're talkin' to?" Damon yelled.

"An idiot," the girl answered.

"Alright! You asked for it!" Damon charged her.

"Attacking a girl? That's low," she said.

When Damon was about to hit her, she ducked, and jammed her guitar case in his stomach. He fell to the ground.

"Why you…" the second guy said. Both guys started charging her. She just shook her head.

The first guy went to punch her, but she caught his hand, and kneed him between the legs. He fell to the ground. The second was about to punch her, too, but she ducked, and swiped her foot under his feet, tripping him. Before he hit the ground, she kneed him in the stomach.

The once almighty Damon and lackeys were now on the floor in a pile, beaten by a girl.

"Fighting can get you expelled, ya know?" the girl (with the group) asked.

The new girl just smirked, "Wouldn't be the first time." The girl went to her locker next to Kagome's.

"Hey, Rin! Looks like our lockers are all together. How was your summer?" Kagome asked.

"Yo, Kagome. Hey, Sango. It was okay. What 'bout you guys?" Rin asked putting books in her locker.

The group of teens was confused on how they can act like nothing just happened.

"Yo!" the girl said.

"Kagome let her family go to Korea without her," Sango said.

"Kagome, what did I tell you? Stop being so damn nice to people. You'll only

make yourself unhappy," Rin said.

"Yeah, yeah," Kagome said waving it off.

"HELLO!" the girl yelled.

"Oh, sorry. Thanks for your help," Kagome said.

"Aren't you Kikyo?" Sango asked.

"Uh…yeah. How did you-" Kikyo started.

"Souta talks about you all the time. Oops! I wasn't suppose to tell ya that." Kagome said covering her mouth.

Kikyo looked to the silver haired guy. He just shrugged.

"Kikyo would you happen to know what "M.I.T." is?" Kagome asked.

"You have that first period, too?" Sango asked looking at her schedule.

"Yeah. What about you, Rin?" Kagome asked her. She shrugged.

"Where's your schedule?" Sango asked.

Rin set down her guitar case, and opened it. Her schedule was sitting on top her guitar. It was a Classic guitar, and it looked pretty old.

"Why is it in there?" Kikyo asked.

"Because, I didn't want anyone to take my schedule," Rin said looking at it.

"And everyone knows that if you touch Rin's guitar, she'll kill you," Kagome said smiling.

"Yup, I got "M.I.T." first. What the hell is that?" Rin asked.

"Musically Inclined Talent," a male voice said from behind Rin. Sango hid behind Kagome.

Rin turned around, "Cuz!" she yelled hugging the guy. He hugged her back.

"It's good to see you again. Hello, Kagome. Ah, dear Sango, how are you?" the guy asked. He was also in the boys' uniform. He had short black hair, but it was long enough to be pulled into a small pony-tail.

"Stay away…from…me…" Sango said still hiding.

"Hey, Miroku," Kagome waved.

"Why must you be like that, my dear Sango?" Miroku asked saddened.

"The last time I stood next to you…you groped me," Sango said.

"Oh…well…I guess it can't be helped," Miroku said sadly. "Hey, guys," Miroku said to the group.

"If there are no more interruptions…look, Kagome was it, I'm going to tell you something, but not because we're friends-" Kikyo started.

"What? We're not! But I thought we could all hold hands, skip to school, and sing, "La la la," Rin said sarcastically. Kagome and Sango burst into laughter while Rin just smiled innocently.

"As I was saying…watch your back. There are just as many people who don't like Souta as much as there are who do, got it? To get to him…" Kikyo started again.

"They'll use you. Isn't that what you were going to say?" Sango finished. Kikyo nodded.

"Look, we've been friends with Kagome longer than Souta's been popular. Sango and I have watched out for Kagome since kindergarten. We don't need you, Miss Popular, telling us what we need to do, got it?" Rin said closing her case, and picking it up.

Kikyo just glared at Rin, "C'mon, we need to get to class," she said. The group walked away.

"The people Souta hangs out with, geeze!" Rin said throwing her hands in the air.

Kagome and Sango just laughed, and linked arms with Rin, and dragged her to "M.I.T."

A/N: I hope you all liked it! This chapter is kind of short, I think. I'm going to try to make them longer, if I can. I'm not quite sure what's in store for chapter 2 but the gears are turning! She you next chapter!

Please review! No flames please! I TRY!
