Chapter 1: Introduction

Ring! Ring!

A school bell rang, empowering all the students to stop their conversations and go into the school. Students were hovering around their lockers, getting the books they needed for class. Some had to step aside to make way for a certain group to pass. The teens in the group were the most popular in school, enveloped in a certain "coolness" which created admiration and respect.

Their leader was Inuyasha. He wasn't of human race, but a demon. Every kid in the school knew he was, but weren't scared because they knew he was harmless. What was really surprising was that the teachers didn't figure out he was a demon, even with all the signs. Either way, it gained the dog-demon some respect.

Inuyasha was a bit tall for an average 16 year old human. Today he was wearing ripped up jeans with a red t-shirt. His silver hair was gathered in a messy, high ponytail. He had amber/golden eyes and his bans where nicely curved, but didn't connect in the middle of his forehead. In the middle was a crescent moon. Teachers had presumed it was a tattoo, but in truth, it was a family mark, an insignia.

On Inuyasha's right strode Kagome Higurashi. She had long dark-raven hair and brown eyes, often left down. She was wearing a black-and-white striped t-shirt coupled with a sexy - as any male admirer would put it, short black skirt.

On Inuyasha's left was 'Sango,' whose last name was lost to everyone. She also had rich-brown hair and brown eyes, as did Kagome. She was wearing a white and blue striped kimono.

On Sango's left was the one and only lecherous Miroku. He had brown eyes and black hair made into a small ponytail. He was wearing a navy t-shirt with black jeans that day. He was called lecherous because he held an interest in womanizing, sometimes earning a slap from Sango.

Lastly, there was Rin, standing beside Kagome. She had black hair and eyes that were light brown and orange like, almost resembling Inuyasha's amber orbs. She was wearing a red t-shirt with a black skirt.

The whole group were not only real close friends, but family friends. Since they had spent so much time together, relationships had started. Inuyasha and Kagome had been dating for a year now and they seemed to become closer each time they were together. Kagome was alright around Inuyasha even though he was a demon and not only was her family involved with demons in the past, her family adopted a cute fox demon named Shippo. His appearance gave him away easily so he didn't go to school. Instead he was taught at home.

Sango and Miroku haven't dated at all, but one could tell they liked one another by their actions even though they'll deny it.

Rin was the most mysterious of the group. She had gone through a lot in her past, which caused her parents being nearly killed in a car accident and another situation. This situation the group wouldn't ever mention in order not to make Rin miserable. It involved her befriending a demon and somehow the cops found out about him and took him away, somewhereall the demons go when captured. Sometimes when the group would hang out they would see Rin fiddle with a rock the demon gave her. This situation happened a little after they all were introduced to each other by their parents.

Speaking of the little introduction the group was glad it happened. They all learned how their families were related in the past in some way. That was also the day Izayo, Inuyasha's mother, told him he had a brother. After that, Inuyasha spent so much time investigating to find a trace of his brother, but quit soon because he couldn't find anything.

That was how they became the little group they were - and a popular one at that. As they walked through the halls, there were a bunch of people around the school news board. Inuyasha went to take a look.

" What's all the racket about, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Damn, the grade 10's and 11's are gonna be in the same classes for the remainder of the year,"Inuyasha said as he walked toward the group.

"Well, its better for us since we can chatter more," said a half-giggling Sango.

"If the teachers want to suffer, then so be it," added Miroku.

As Miroku finished his little statement a strange figure walked past them. The figure's bangs gave a shadow over his eyes so the group couldn't really see any facial features.

"Who's that guy? I don't remember seeing him anywhere," asked Inuyasha.

"He's the new kid. I heard others talk about him. I believe I heard them say he's an eleventh grader," Rin said in a slightly-hushed tone.

"That guy is really tall. It might be my imagination, but he looked a bit taller than Inuyasha," Kagome said.

"Do you think he is a demon as well? asked Sango.

"We'll find the answers soon enough. Rin mentioned he was an eleventh grader, so we'll get to know him more,"stated Inuyasha.

Luckily the whole group was in the same class and so was the new kid. Inuyasha was seated in front of Miroku; Kagome was on Inuyasha's right; Sango was behind her and Rin was seated at Miroku's left.

"Attention, class: as some of you know, we have a new student. Please give him some respect as you would your friends. His name is Sesshomaru. Welcome to our school, Sesshoumaru," announced the teacher. When the teacher mentioned his name it struck a bell in Rin's mind, but she couldn't quite get why.

Sesshomaru entered the room and sat at Inuyasha's left. Inuyasha got to see his features more clearly. Sesshomaru was wearing a pair of ripped-up pants with a navy blue shirt. He had long light brown hair made in a ponytail. His bans are curved like Inuyasha's, but unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's bans are forced together as if hiding something. He looked perfectly human except for his eyes. His eyes are amber/golden just like Inuyasha's, as well. Sesshomaru was also really intelligent.

The class went by fast and it was time to get to the next one. The group was separated this time. Kagome and Sango were together. Inuyasha and Miroku were in the same class. Rin were left alone in her class.

An hour later, it was lunch. The group met and sat on a table at the corner of the room, all except Rin. Sango and Kagome went searching for her. Kagome, surprisingly, saw her sit with Sesshoumaru and they were laughing and talking, non-stop. After the incident six years ago, she had never talked to anyone except her parents and the group.

After lunch, Kagome and Rin were in the same class. Kagome was shocked to see Rin and Sesshoumaru sit beside each other and talk when the teacher wasn't looking.

The day went by quickly and the whole group met and walked home together. They lived on the same street ( as coincidence has it ) because their parents had thought it would be easier to communicate if they lived near each other.

As they walked past the school grounds, they saw Sesshoumaru mount onto a motorcycle and drive off.

"Man, he can ride a motorcycle! Is he even old enough to have a license!"

"Yeah," said Miroku, unimpressed.

"Speaking of Sesshoumaru, it seems that Rin made herself a friend..." added Kagome.

"Oh, really...?" InuYasha said, "What did you find out about the guy, Rin?"

"Not much, really," said Rin. "He seemed to be a nice guy so I decided he'd be nice to talk to. He's really intelligent and has a good sense of humor. I can tell ya that he seems human, not demon. His height, probably genetics."

'After all, the experience with him...It seems like I'd known him before...'

"I feel like I'd known him somehow," she bit out.

"Not likely; you never talk to anyone except to us and your family," interjected the dog-demon.

"I guess not," she admitted. She reached into her pocket to get her ancient amber-coloured rock. To her surprise, it was warm. The only time the rock had been warm was when the demon gave it to Rin. Also, she felt happy, after all those years of misery.

'Or maybe I did meet him, but I just can't remember...'
