Chapter Three

Disclaimer: Inuyasha is already owned.

The rest of the day was a bore for the new student Kagome Higurashi and her new friends. They didn't have much homework to do, just an essay to write for English and a current event for Global Studies.

Kagome's English teacher had a fit when she heard Kagome introduce herself. All during class, the teacher made Kagome say sentences saying the words correctly instead of ta or ya. Once class was finished, Kagome learned how to say the words correctly.

The teens now are outside in the courtyard chatting when suddenly someone grabs Kagome's hands.

"Oh what a sweet demon you are! You shouldn't be hanging around these lowlife creatures. You're too beautiful for that." This guy about the groups age said.

He seemed to be a demon also. His hair was up in a high ponytail with brown hair. His eyes were a light blue. He wore a blue polo shirt with baggy blue jeans.

"Um, these are my friends. May I ask who you are?" Kagome asked, trying to get her hand out of his grip.

"I'm Koga Wolfer, prince of my wolf tribe!" He said like a rich kid. "What is your name?"

"None of your damn business!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Oh look! It's mutt face! Why are you still here? Thought they kicked you out after that fight between you and Naraku." Koga said as he smirked evilly at Inuyasha.

"You know as well as us that Naraku started it." Miroku told him boredly.

"Shut up you perverted monk!" Koga lost his smirk and glared at Miroku.

"Will you three stop it! It hasn't even been five minutes and you're already arguing!" Sango yelled at them.

"Feh!" Inuyasha replied as he crossed his arms over his chest. "If he hadn't came over here we wouldn't have."

"The only reason I came over was to ask this young and beautiful demon her name." Koga replied innocently.

"Her name is wench. Now leave!"

"My name is Kagome! Ka-go-me! Not wench you retarded hanyou!" Kagome screamed. At the words retarded hanyou, Inuyasha flinched.

"Feh." He muttered roughly with a hint of sadness.

"Kagome!" Both Sango and Miroku gasped as their eyes went wide in shock and horror.

"Oh! So that is your name! From this day forward, I declare you as my onna (women)! Once school finishes up, we will become mates!" Koga said proudly.

"I don't think so Koga." Kagome replied as she took a deep breath and ran her hands through her long raven and silver streaked hair.

"Why not?"

"I don't even know you and your saying that I am your onna (women)!" Kagome yelled at Koga, surrounded by anime flames.

Koga gulped loudly. "I'm sorry. Would you like to go to dinner this weekend?"

"I'm sorry but I'll be with some old friends. Maybe another time?" Kagome asked more calmly.

"Uh sure. Ja ne my Kagome-chan!" With a kiss on her hand, he stood up and left.

"Stupid wolf." Kagome muttered, sitting back down on the bench.

"I'm going home. See you guys tomorrow." Inuyasha said then stood up.

"See ya." Sango and Miroku said and then he was gone.

"Home? Isn't that here?" Kagome asked a confused.

"He's going to his home where he lives with his parents and brother. I think calling him a filthy hanyou made him want to go home." Miroku said as he inched his hand towards Sango's ass.

"Don't you even think about it Houshi." Sango warned him before his hand reached its destination.

"Damn!" He muttered.

"Why would he go home just because I called him a filthy hanyou? Everyone calls him that and it doesn't seem to bother him."

"Yeah but the demons and humans that despise him call him that. You are one of his friends now so it hurt him pretty badly." Sango explained to her.

"Oh Kami! Now I feel really stupid!" Kagome cried throwing her arms up. "What's his address?"

"I think you should wait un..."

"Couple blocks from here." Miroku interrupted.

"Where a couple blocks from here!" Kagome asked impatiently.

"On Howl Road, house number 726. Big house. You won't be able to miss it even if you tried."

"Thank you! I'll see you guys tonight!" Kagome waved then ran to Howl Road as fast as she could. 'I am so stupid! I shouldn't have called him that! Stupid stupid me!'

Exactly three minutes later, Kagome arrived in front of the doorway. The house was enormous! Wait! It's not a house! It's a castle! The grass was cut short and there were many flowers in the gardens and a couple tall trees. In the front of the house was a huge porch with a gazebo. Almost all the rooms in the front of the house had balconies.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked. On the other side of the door, Kagome could hear footsteps then the door opened.

"Can I help you?" An ugly green toad asked, the one who opened the door.

"Yes you may. I'm here to see Inuyasha-sama." She answered.

"Jaken, who is it?" A lady with long raven hair asked wearing a red shirt and blue jeans, as she came over to the doorway. She turned towards Kagome with a smile but soon left her face when she came eye to eye with her. "What do you want!" She snapped.

"Is Inuyasha-sama home?" Kagome asked nervously under the ladies intense gaze.

"He is, but I don't think you can see him."

"Why not? He's my friend."

"A miko friends with a demon! That's crazy!" She laughed.

"What's crazy mom?" Inuyasha asked as he walked down the very long stairway.

"Inuyasha-sama!" Kagome yelled happily.

"Kagome! What are you doing here!" He asked surprised.

"I came to apologize." She told him shyly not looking into his eyes.

"It's no big."

"Yes it is! I shouldn't have said that! You're not a retarded half breed!" The lady gasped then looked at Inuyasha sadly while Jaken just stood there boredly. "I'm sorry. I should really learn to control my temper."

"Everyone calls me that." Inuyasha mumbled.

"Yes but not your friends! Or am I not your friend since you won't accept my apology?" She asked sadly, tears threatening to fall.

"Kagome! Are you crying! Please don't cry!" He begged rushing over to her then tried to have her look at him.

"A-a-am I-I y-y-your f-f-fri-end?" Kagome stuttered, looking up at him with tear streaked cheeks.

"Of course you are my friend! I wouldn't be hanging around you if you weren't." He told her as he pulled her closely to his chest, this time she did not flinch.

"Really?" She mumbled into his jacket.

"Really really Kagie."

"Ok."

"Here." Inuyasha released her then took out his handkerchief and handed it to Kagome.

"Thank you." She took it and began to dry up her face.

"No problem. Why don't you come in?"

"She certainly can not!" The lady yelled.

"And why can't she mom?"

"She's a miko!"

"So? You are too." Inuyasha told his mother raising his eyebrow at her.

"I know but I'm not as powerful as her! She can kill you with a simple touch!"

"Ma'am, why would I want to kill him?" Kagome asked her politely.

"Because he is a demon!"

"He's only half."

"It doesn't matter to miko's. They'll kill a full or a half demon."

"I'm a demon."

"No, you're a miko."

"And a demon. See the ears on top of my head?" Kagome asked pointing to the different color ears on top of her head.

Inuyasha's mother gasped then looked at Kagome in confusion. "How?"

"Well my father is a demon and my mother is a human. We've had many miko's on my mother side since 500 years ago. We haven't yet figured out how my twin sister and I can be miko's when she has the human gene and I have the demon gene. I mean we have a hypothesis but it's not really certain."

"Wow." Was the only thing that his mother said.

"Can she come in now mom?" Inuyasha asked as he stood besides his mother bored.

"Oh yes! I'm sorry about before. My name is Nikarita, Nika for short."

"I'm Kagome." The two shook hands and Kagome entered the house.

"Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"I don't know." Kagome said uncertainly.

"Please? I would love to hear about you. You are the first girl around my sons age, besides Rin of course but she is only here for my other son, who has been in this house."

"What about Sango?" Kagome asked following Nika with Inuyasha at her side, to the living room.

"The only time I have seen her was at a school affair but I hope to see you often!" Nika said excitedly.

"You barely know me and yet, you want me to see me often." Kagome said holding back her laughter.

"I'm a miko so I can detect if you are good or evil and I detect a lot of good in you my dear! I don't even think I detect one speck of evil!"

"Then wouldn't you have used your miko energy to detect if I was a good miko or not back at the doorway?"

"I detected a lot of power and miko's with a lot of power are mostly evil."

"Oh ok... Well I suppose I can stay but I'd have to call the school."

"Jaken could do that, right Jaken?" Nika asked as she looked at Jaken sternly.

"Y-y-yes M-M-Mrs. Rum-m-ik-ko." Jaken stuttered then bowed and left hurridly.

"Why don't you sit down and tell me about yourself." Nika said taking a seat on a very comfortable couch.

"There isn't much to tell." Kagome said also taking a seat.

"Well, what's your last name?"

"Higurashi."

"And soon to be Rumiko." Nika muttered which earned her a glare from Inuyasha. Nika smirked and turned back to Kagome. "Your family owns the Higurashi shrine correct?"

"Yes. We've owned it for nearly 550 years."

"That's a very long time! How old are you?"

"I just turned 17. I was suppose to attend D.H.H.S last year but it was too late in the semester and my mom didn't find out till the last month of school."

"What do you mean found out?"

"Kagome's demon features hadn't made their appearance till last year." Inuyasha answered for Kagome.

"I'm surprised you weren't in the newspaper." Nika said.

"It wasn't in the newspaper because mom thought it would be best if we kept it to ourselves. The school also agreed. We had to tell them about it since my school records were coming from a human school. You're the only one besides my family and some teachers at the school that know about the late transformation." Kagome told Nika.

"It must have been really hard on you."

"It was and still is! I don't even have my demon strength yet and the only miko powers that I have is shocking and something with an arrow."

"Well, with the arrow, you shoot it at a demon when it pierces their skin, the light begins to purify the demon. Why don't you come over in a couple weeks and I'll teach you how to use your miko powers?"

"Oh no! She doesn't need to learn anything else! The shocking thing hurts like hell!" Inuyasha shouted angrily.

"She shocked you? Why?" Nika asked who was now very very VERY interested because she knew that when shocking you had to be in touching range when you first start out.

"Nothing." He muttered looking away angry but with embarrassment.

"He wouldn't let go of me." Kagome answered then blushed brightly at how she answered her.

"And why was he touching you?"

"Uh, well I...hugged him...and when I wanted him...to let go...he uh, didn't so I ...uh yeah." Kagome stuttered now blushing an unhealthy red.

"Why did you hug him?"

"Because he is going to do me a favor." She replied softly.

"And that favor is?" Nika asked saying the words slowly.

"To wear a hat when we meet my friends."

"Why does he have to wear a hat?"

"My friends dislike demons, even if they are half." Kagome told her sadly.

"Do they know you are one too?" Nika asked her sympathetically.

"No."

"Are you going to tell them one of these days?"

"Yes, when I'm ready to."

"Take your time and when you're ready, you're ready."

"Thanks." Kagome told her softly, smiling.

"Madam, dinner is ready. Master Sesshomaru and your husband will be down shortly to join you and your guest." Jaken said when he appeared in the room then left once Nika nodded her head.

"Time to meet the rest of my son's family. Let's go eat!" Nika said as she grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her to the dinning room with Inuyasha following closely behind who could not keep his eyes off of Kagome's backside.
