Love, Fur, and Teeth
A/N- This is an idea I've had for awhile, I hope you like it! Also I don't own InuYasha, 'I wish I did!'
Chapter 1: Welcome to Japan!
"Now how many times do we have to go over this Taiya, just because we move so much and you skip from school to school, doesn't mean you won't make friends. Now young lady, get out of this car and go into that school this instant!" The man behind the wheel of the car growled angrily as he glared at the woman that still sat next to him. Taiya sighed loudly as she pulled her backpack on, 'why me?' she asked herself as she wrapped her hand about the car doors' handle. "Yes father," pulling the latch she looked away her heart sinking, sliding out of the car with slowed movements Taiya shut the door roughly, turning about she glared back at her still angry father.
Watching as her father drove away, Taiya shook her head in sheer distaste it just seemed so unfair, turning about she directed her attentions to the school that sat before her. Letting out another depressed filled sigh she began walking up the steps towards the school entrance. Other students filed past her at a much more hurried pace, but she was oblivious to everything, lost in her thoughts she walked forward eyes focused at her feet.
She could still remember all the school's she had attended over the last eight years,
'The first time this happened I was in fourth grade, mother had come down with an illness and had to be moved to a medical center in Ohio, I still don't get why we had to move automatically. Mom's been sick as far back as I can remember, something dealing with a difficult birth, I've always blamed myself even though I don't know the particular's. Since then, year after year we've moved from place to place, I'm getting so sick of it! We moved all over the US seeking better treatment, until we moved here, Japan. I don't even know the language completely, so why the hell did we have to move here, of all places!'
Screaming at herself in her mind Taiya was too out of it to notice a woman approaching her at top speed, before either knew what had happened they had collided! Taiya had not only been knocked out of her thoughts but off her feet, opening her eyes after the impact Taiya saw that all her folders had flown out of her backpack. Cursing angrily under her breath she bent to start picking them up when she felt a hand hit hers, glancing out of the corner of her eye Taiya studied the form that was bent next to her. It was a woman that looked about her age, 'Hmmm, 16 maybe 17' mumbled her thoughts, the woman had raven black hair that hung over her shoulders while she gathered Taiya's things. She was in the same uniform that Taiya wore, but there was something about her that felt so familiar to Taiya, unable to place her finger on it Taiya stood up as the woman did the same.
Smiling warmly the woman handed Taiya her things, "Sorry about that, I…" Trailing off the woman started staring directly at Taiya, feeling suddenly uncomfortable Taiya grabbed her things and ran towards the school. 'What was that all about, and why was she staring at me like that?' moving into the building Taiya made her way down the hall quickly, heading towards the principals office. Her father had made sure to bring her by a month before school had started, so that she would know where to go.
Reaching the office Taiya glanced unconsciously behind her, feeling this nagging at the back of her mind, like someone was following her. Shaking her head at that renegade thought Taiya approached the front desk, a woman glanced up at her smiling, "May I help you miss?" Pulling a slip of paper out of her pocket Taiya handed it to the lady, "Ah! Miss. Jacobs, is that correct?" glancing from the paper to Taiya the lady picked up a pen. "Yes, I'm new here and I was wondering who my homeroom teacher is, I haven't found out yet," shifting nervously Taiya rapped her fingers against her leg, waiting for a reply.
Riffling through a couple draws the woman finally turned about, after scribbling a few words on some paper she handed it to Taiya, "Here you go, Mr. Ichi will be waiting." Nodding her head in thanks Taiya took the paper and walked back out into the hall, there was only a few other students about as the bell rang calling classes to order, 'just great, my first day at a new school and I'm late. Damn it all!' Slightly crumpling the piece of paper, Taiya made her way down the hall, glancing at each sign to find Mr. Ichi's classroom.
Finally, after wandering about for several minutes Taiya finally found her classroom, taking a deep breath and plastering a fake smile to her face she pulled the door open. As if on cue all eyes turned to focus upon her as she walked into the room, seeing the teacher standing at the back of the room Taiya immediately walked towards him. While she passed down the rows of desks she saw that same woman from before, the one that had run into her, looking away quickly Taiya stopped before the teacher. Giving a slight bow Taiya handed the paper up to him, seeing his eyes widen with interest and confusion, he took the note.
After scanning it quickly he folded the paper and slipped it into his pocket, "Welcome to my class miss. Jacobs, as you see we were about to start an assignment, so take your seat. It's over there, next to miss. Higurashi," pointing towards the direction she had just come from, Taiya nodded her head and turned about. Looking to where he had pointed her eyes widened and she froze, her seat was right next to the women from before. Dreading this greatly Taiya walked over and sat down tentatively, keeping her gaze focused on anything but the woman next to her, Taiya heard the teacher begin talking. "Alright, Mr. Takeda get the light's!"
Once the lights were off Taiya felt a tug on her right arm, glancing to her side she was greeted by a smiling face, it was that woman. " Sorry again about earlier, I didn't mean to offend you, I was just admiring that birthmark of yours." The woman's words confused Taiya as she knit her brows together, "You saw my birthmark, I don't think that's possible, I covered my birthmark with make-up so there's no way you could have seen it." The woman's smile increased as she wrote something on a piece of paper, after folding it she set it upon Taiya's desk and turned her attention back to the teacher.
Curious, Taiya unfolded the paper and read the quickly scrawled words,
'I'm Kagome Higurashi, I've got some important information to tell you about that birthmark of yours, meet me at the front of the school when school gets out and I'll tell you. By the way, I didn't know for sure if you had a birthmark or not, so that was a little foul play on my part, sorry! Kagome.'
Taiya folded the paper back up and stuffed it in her pant's pocket, 'should I meet with her…she seems serious about it, ah to heck with it! What can I loose…' sighing to herself she rested her elbows upon her desk and paid attention to the teacher as he had them write notes.
After school had ended Taiya was making her way out of the school when the woman, Kagome, came up along side her. "Well, what is it that you wanted to tell me about my birthmark, what's so special about it?" Taiya grumbled slightly as she stopped, 'I had almost forgot about her, damn it!' "It's quite simple actually, you're the one, you have the mark of a sealing priestess." Kagome calmly replied as she adjusted her backpack, "Exuse me, a sealing what?" Taiya raised her eyebrows at Kagome's straight to the point reply.
A/N- I cut this slightly because the next part is rather long and starts on a whole new subject than school. Hope I get it up soon! Review if you want to it would be highly apreaciated! See Yah in the next Chapter!
