"Anal! Who are you calling anal you jerk!" She would have "sat" him had he not been driving. He chuckled pulling up to the Higurashi shrine, and then sobered. "Just be careful Kagome. I'll see ya at school tomorrow. I don't need a ride though; I'm picking up my new car tonight," and with a quick kiss, Inuyasha disappeared into the night. Though he only traveled to the next block, Kagome got an odd chill when he left, and wished he had stayed longer.

The girl walked into her house as an unnoticed pair of blue eyes stared from the shadows.

Chapter 9

"Ugh, turn off that awful beeping noise," Kagome said out loud. 'Oh wait; it's the alarm…time to go to school…greeat.' The groggy miko rolled out of bed to turn off the alarm and get ready for another day of school.

……………………………………

Kagome tried to ignore the apprehensive feeling she had as she drove to school that morning. Something felt funny but she couldn't figure out what. Shaking her head in annoyance, she drowned out her worries by turning up the radio.

…………………………………..

Inuyasha drove towards school in his new, blood red Corvette. Turning up the radio, he waited until the light turned green to start flying down the next street. Suddenly a black Mustang swerved right in front of him, causing Inuyasha to slam on the breaks.

"Hey you idiot, watch where you're going!" he screamed out the window as he followed the car down the road. A pair of blue eyes glared at him through the review mirror before the black car turned into the Wawa parking lot.

"Feh," Inuyasha said and continued down the street to the school, in a rather bad mood.

…………………………………

The transfer student sat in the office waiting for his schedual. Sipping the coffee he'd picked up before school, the boy looked out the doorway. 'How dull…' he thought to himself. That's when he saw her pass by. She was talking to another dark haired girl heading for class. 'Oh, this should be easy,' he smirked. Master would be very gald he'd found her so quickly… Grabbing his schedual rudely from the office attendant's hand as she walked in, he followed the two girls down the hall.

…………………………………

Kagome had arrived at school in a fairly porr mood.

"Kagome!"

"ARGH! Ahhh!" she yelped, jumping. Her nerves were rather frayed for no apparent reason.

"Jumpy?" Sango chuckled, "Sorry 'bout that, didn't mean to scare you," she said jogging up to the girl. They had both gone to their locker already and were on their way to first period. As they walked past the main office Kagome casually looked in, and caught her breath.

"You alright?" Sango asked curiously as they continued down the hallway.

"Yea, sorry," Kagome replied distractedly. All she could see were those cold blue eyes staring at her maliciously. Kagome shivered. "Let's get to class," she said grabbing her friend's arm and pulling her quickly through the corridor.

……………………………

"Stupid, baka, teme…" Inuyasha mumbled as he walked down the hallway. The day had not started out well and the hanyou wasn't very happy to say the least. First that idiot in the car, next his locker jammed and now…

"ARGH!" he said as a dark haired boy collided with him. "What is your problem bastard!" he yelled to the kid. "It's YOU!" Inuyasha roared again when he noticed the blue eyes and the Wawa coffee the boy was holding. It was the idiot in the black car!

"I have no time for you, stupid mutt," the kid said before turning and walking down the hallway.

Inuyasha was left fuming in front of the main office before he turned and followed the guy to first period. This day was just getting better and better Inuyasha thought sarcastically, still behind the kid.

………………………….

"Heh, heh, so guys…what's new?" Miroku said in an effort to break the silence at the lunch table. All he received was a growl from Inuyasha and a weak smile from Sango. Kagome hadn't even heard him. She kept glancing over her shoulder with a worried expression; the feeling from earlier still hadn't left her. Sango cleared her throat and Kagome jumped.

"You alright Ka-" Sango was cut off by Kagome's gasp. Turning around, she saw a tall, dark haired boy walking towards them. Inuyasha let out a low growl, 'What's all his about?' thought Sango.

'There's something odd about him,' Kagome thought. 'He's obviously a youkai, but his aura is off…' Her thoughts were cut short when she looked up to see those cold, blue eyes. A chill went up her spine. His eyes were so empty…

"Hello," the mysterious boy said, pulling up a chair right next to Kagome.

"What do you want, youkai?" Inuyasha asked rudely. This guy hadn't gotten on his good side.

"The name's Koga, and what I want has nothing to do with you," he replied, turning to Kagome.

"If what you want has anything to do with Kagome-"

"Ah, so this beautiful creature is Kagome," Koga said taking her chin gently in his hand as she glared.

"That is my name," she said as she slapped his hand away from her face.

"Well it was nice meeting you, Kagome. I'll see you around," and with that the wolf youkai got up, leaving behind a very angry hanyou, an irritated miko, and two other very confused humans.

"You know him?" said Miroku, trying once again to break the now uncomfortable silence.

"He nearly crashed into my car this morning and then almost knocked me over in the damn hallway!" Inuyasha grumbled.

"He just transferred; I saw him in the office this morning." said Kagome in a thoughtful voice, "His aura is off…"

"Of course it is, he's a nasty wolf youkai. You can smell his stench from a mile away."

"That's not what I meant."

"Feh, who cares. Tuesday suck."

"It's only Tuesday, UGH!" stated Sango, dropping her head to the table. "We still have three days of school until the weekend…!"
