Chapter One

Kagome sat at her desk, staring at the full Shikon Jewel in the tiny glass bottle. Her eyes were puffy and red. Even though it had been two months after Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku's deaths, Kagome was still unable to accept the fact. It was because he had died because of her.

At times, Kagome will vreturn to the Feudal Japan to help Kaede. As Kikyo was also killed because of Naraku, Kagome felt that she could easily relate to Kaede. Well, Inuyasha should be with Kikyo now. At the thought of it, Kagome burst into tears. It was becasue of saving her, that Inuyasha died. It was because of her.

The term begins on Monday. Kagome walked the familiar road to school, with her handy yellow backpack. Again, she felt a sense of loss. With heavy footsteps, she made her way into her class, where she spot her group of close friends.

"Kagome! How are you during the term break? " they asked eagerly, unaware that Kagome had been mourning during the term break. Kagome looked at them, trying to smile cheerfully, and she nodded slowly at them. She knew she was not able to forget what happened.

"Kagome? Did something happen?" Her friend asked.

Kagome breathed in deeply. Should I tell them? I''ve been keeping it from them too long... "Nothing really. Its just, my.. relative passed away." Kagome replied.

"Oh, you've got another relative? Is he close to you?"

"Yeah. He is." Kagome said, her eyes looking down.

Just then, her teacher walked into the class, and went back to the door, motioning someone to stay there. He entered again and stood in front of the class, calling for attention.

"Listen up class! I want everyone to settle down!"

The class instantly quieten down, as everyone sat at their desk.

"Okay, I have a group of new students joining our class. Our school is on a joint programme with another town and had recruited a number of students. Its our honour to have 3 students in our class." He looked towards the door and motioned for them to come in.

"Their names are Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha. Come in, and please introduce yourselves to the class."

Kagome looked up instantly, upon hearing their names. Inuyasha? Sango? Miroku? What are they doing here... ? She saw the trio standing awkwardly in front of the class.

The girl stood out and bowed to the class. Her straight and silky black hair fell neatly behind her. "Ohayo, my name is Sango. Nice to meet you." Everyone clapped their hands to welcome her. The boy beside her with a tiny ponytail and black frame spectacles stood beside her bowed similary and introduced himself, " Watashi wa Miroku desu." Then, Inuyasha, who was leaning against the board stood there looking bothered. Kagome's heart beat faster and faster. Inuyasha..?

Miroku turned back and glared at Inuyasha. "Hey, its your turn now.. "

Inuyasha glared back at him and without even looking up at the class, he spat, "Feh, I'm Inuyasha." With that, he continued looking down on the floor, with his hands stuffed in his baggy pair of jeans.

Kagome's heart leaped. His expressions, his personality. Is he really Inuyasha? Just then, Kagome's friend turned to her, "Kagome kun, don't you think that... Inuyasha looks kind of wierd. His teeth... He has sharp canine teeth." Kagome stared at her. Yes, but, his hair. Its black, but it isn't a full moon. Maybe, he is not Inuyasha after all..

The teacher coughed, hoping to get back attention from the class.

"Okay, class. I am going to rearrange the seatings to accomodate the new students here. I'm going to draw lots, obviously, to be fair to everyone. AND to make sure that those talkative people will not sit together." He then took out a brown cardboard box and placed in on the table. "I'll call out the name, and you will fill up the seats from my right." He stuffed his wrinkly hand into the box and pulled out a slip of paper. "Shizuka Kobayashi and Tanaka." Shizuka stood up and moved to her new seat, gleaming. Kagome's friend whispered into her ear, "She must be delighted. She had been crushing on Tanaka for the past year!" Kagome managed a soft giggle.

For the next five minutes, many names had been read out. Miroku and Sango was chosen to sit beside each other, much to the displeasure shown on Sango's face. Miroku's expression was as though in heaven, as he was surrounded by many girls in the class. Kagome realised that Inuyasha was still standing in front of the class, waiting for his name to be called out. He did not look up still.

"The last few names. Inuyasha.. and Kagome. Take the seats at the back. Hurry up."

Inuyasha stared at the teacher in horror. "WHAT? I'm to sit beside a girl? Feh, this is stupid." Kagome stood up and glared at him, grabbing her yellow bag and walking to her new seat. The teacher gave a cold stare to Inuyasha, "I was being fair. And your name got chosen. No arguing." Inuyasha's face was glowing red with anger. He swung his messenger back which was beside him over his shoulder and stormed across the class. Kagome who was already sitted there stared at Inuyasha throwing his bag on the floor beside her and sitting down forcefully. He gave her a dirty look and looked away.

Kagome looked at him from the corner of her eyes. In her heart, she wondered if he was really Inuyasha? The reincarnation? He did not seem to regconise her, which made Kagome realise that he, was not the Inuyasha that saved her in the past. Time passed to quickly, but at least, I can still see Inuyasha again...
