Chapter 2

Guess Who?

"Nee-san, did you meet the neighbors?" The sound of my younger brother's voice brought me out of the angry daze I had been in for the last few minutes.

I nodded, a red haze beginning to cover my cheeks as I remembered what Akimura had said- and done.

"I think they're fairly nice, and I like that Miroku fellow…he seemed nice, maybe you should date him." Kohaku remarked, a small smirk forming across his face as he rubbed in that he could get a date, while I on the other hand had the luck to be a sociopath. How very kind of him, wouldn't you say?

"Oh shut up will you?" I mumbled darkly.

"Well, you're cranky aren't you?" he remarked blandly before walking off into the living room to watch some random show on TV, something called Dragon Ball Z (I don't own it) or something of the sort.

A few hours passed and before I knew it…it was time for school. Why of all the joyous things to start the day did it have to be school?

I walked slowly to my classroom, in the daze that fogs one's awareness during the early morning hours-sleep. I slowly sat down to my desk, and rested my head on the wood surface and listened to the babble that most students my age found exciting, the latest in celebrity news and random gossip.

I sighed, looking vacantly at my notebook, trying not to fall asleep because of the early hours. That's when the teacher walked in.

"Class, today we will be having a new student. Please greet him with utmost respect." Tanuki-san squawked; his voice the sound of nails scraping against a chalkboard, very annoying to say the least.

I shuddered, my eyes widening and my skin going pale; I knew exactly who it was.

"Ohayo, my name is Akimura Miroku…it is a pleasure to meet you all." The same velvety voice that had stopped me from punching his lights out introduced him to the class.

I suppressed a light moan, why did he have to be in my class? Could this day get any worse? Why yes it could.

"Lets see…Akimura-san, sit next to…"he paused looking around the room for an empty seat-and, oh to my joy, looked at the one right behind…me. "Akimura-san, sit next to Akiyama-san. Akiyama-san, raise your hand." Is fate cruel or what? Slowly I raised my hand, the said appendage trembling slightly from anger, annoyance…and well, whatever else I was feeling at the moment.

"Akiyama-san." Akimura murmured as he passed me, and I amazed myself by not blushing then and there. "Pleasure to meet you…again…" A slow smirk spread across his face, much to my annoyance.

"The pleasure's all mine. Really." I mumbled sarcastically, my face having invented a new shade of red as the smirk came onto his face…and well…since pretty much the whole class was looking our way. Is it just me, or does Akimura enjoy being the center of attention?

Well, as that oh so wonderful morning passed, I thanked kami-sama for the thing that we know as lunch, not for the food- as school food can be toxic…but for the great joy known as talking to your friends without teachers yelling at you to shut the hell up. Oh the joys of life.

"Sango-chan!" The hyper voice of my best friend, Higurashi Kagome, chirped at me, as the girl ran forward, a bright childish grin on her face.

"Kagome-chan! How are you?" I grinned back, returning the smile the bubbly raven-haired girl beamed at me.

"I'm good in fact, I'm great! Oh Inuyasha and I met someone new today! His name is Akimura…" my smile faltered slightly, and oblivious to it all, Kagome continued to say, "Akimura Miroku!"

Oh dear kami-sama…first class…and then…my friends…why does kami-sama enjoy tormenting me so much?

"Isn't that great Sango-chan? Now we're an even number!" Kagome chirped, as our little group included my brother and his girlfriend Rin even though they are first years, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru- Inuyasha's brother, Sesshomaru's girlfriend Kagura, Shippo and Souten- most probably the shortest people in our grade, and of course little old me…well, add Akimura and we're an even number. Oh what fun.

"Konnichi wa, Akiyama-san." I shuddered slightly, and turned around. Right behind me was the devil himself- Akimura, and of course, sulking behind was the resident anger management problem- Inuyasha.

Even though most people would think Inuyasha was one of the hottest people alive, I can't really agree with that…after witnessing one of his little temper tantrums…that'd be enough to degrade any girl's liking of him. Now Akimura on the other hand…wait a minute…where'd that come from! Forget I ever said that.

"Konnichi wa, Akimura-san, Inuyasha-kun." I replied.

"Akiyama-san…you know…there's no need to be so formal…" Akimura murmured, walking up and whispering in my ear. "We are…neighbors…"

I couldn't even think of a reply, as I knew that whatever I said…it would come out in a stutter, as my face was probably a very red shade of red, it doesn't make sense I know, just shut up about it. This was turning out to be one hell of a day.

Preview of Next Chapter

I glared, flipping the channels, as if in five seconds, something good would come on television.

"Sango, we have guests! Turn off the TV and set the table. The sound of my chichue's voice brought me into reality and onto my chores. Randomly I wondered who our guests were…that's when I spotted him.
