Okay, here is the actual first chapter to this tale. Ah! I'm so exited.

Chapter 1: Mr. Guide

"Calm down class!" yelled a middle-aged teacher at the front of the classroom. "Silence! Next student to open up their yaps gets detention for the NEXT MONTH!" he snapped out loudly.

This seemed to have gotten the attention of the talkative students.

"Okay then class…ahem…we have a new student that will be joining us this year. She is highly recommended from other schools. Her name is Kagome Higurashi."

Kagome was happy to be here at this school; she had managed to get a scholarship without her dad knowing. And thanks to her determination and brainpower, she was able to take to her only refuge; school. This was all to get away from him.

The teacher had finished his statement and signaled for the young woman to come in the room. Her long coal-black hair swayed back and forth in a hypnotizing manner. Her dark-brown eyes glanced back and forth as she took a look at every one in the room.

Her flawless skin was tinted with blush by her cheeks. The faultless body covered by a light-blue sweater and indigo skirt that reached above her knees walked in.

"Now then, who would like to guide her around our school for the week?" the teacher asked gruffly, still a little annoyed by his chattering students. He looked the class over; many young men were eager to assist Ms. Higurashi.

The teacher looked over to a set near the window to see a boy with locks as white as snow and a glare that could burn a hole through the wall. His amber eyes looked lazily outside the window to see the view; he had the most adorable puppy dog-ears placed atop his cranium. He wore jeans and a shirt that said 'You're crowding me…so get lost'.

"InuYasha," the teacher commented, "how kind of you to volunteer to guide Ms. Higurashi around the school," he said with false enthusiasm. He grinned as the hanyou looked to the front of the class to see what he had just 'volunteered' for.

"What?" he yelled out, giving Kagome a look of pure disgust. "I ain't dragging that chick around this school for a week!"

"InuYasha, don't push your luck with me! You have already received all your warnings for this week! Cooperate, or I'll see to it that you have detention for the rest of the year!" the teacher yelled out.

InuYasha, glaring at the teacher once more, slunk down in his seat and said;

"Keh! Whatever!" The teacher then signaled for Kagome to go sit next to InuYasha; she did as instructed, although reluctantly.

InuYasha examined this Kagome girl over with his amber eyes. 'She looked pretty enough, but she was probably just a shallow slut,' he thought. Kagome saw him looking at her and beamed; he had on a smile. He noticed her grin and quickly looked away; he decided to just drop the subject and look out the window till class was over.

InuYasha lost himself in the scenery, out of sheer boredom, until the bell for the second period rung. Popping back to reality, he realized that Kagome was standing patiently beside his desk.

"Oh, right! I'm stuck with the job from hell," he spat our crudely. Kagome frowned at his remark.

"InuYasha, was it?" she asked. "Well, I'm sorry that you don't like me, but I'll only be a burden till the end of this week," she said, the sadness very noticeable in her voice.

"Keh! Great! Five more days of hell to go through, might as well send me down the river Styx while your at it," came the sarcastic remark. She looked at him, trying to console the fear and anger that was growing in the bowels of her stomach. A regretful thought was forcing its way into her mind; 'Is he like my father?' She hoped she was wrong.

"Come on. We're gonna be late to second period if ya keep blabberin'," InuYasha said blandly as he walked out the door. For the rest of the morning, Kagome followed closely, avoiding all eye contact and conversation. He, however, noticed this and was waiting for lunch to roll around so he could ask her what the hell was up with her attitude.

Lunch came too quickly for InuYasha. Before entering the cafeteria, he decided to break the silence of the morning.

"What's with you?" he asked impatiently.

"Huh? What do you mean?" she questioned distractedly as she tried to get past him to enter the cafeteria, but he blocked her entrance. He grabbed her arms and pressed her to the wall forcibly. She winced at this action and looked away; tears pressing to escape her eyes. He noticed her reaction but didn't loosen up his tight grip.

"Why are you all of a sudden scared of me?" he questioned harshly, as she twitched at his voice.

"I'm n-not afraid of you," she stammered out; InuYasha immediately knew that was a lie.

"Don't try and hide it; I'm part dog demon, I can sense your fear!" he growled in annoyance. "Just tell me," he said, loosening his grip on her, but not enough for her to run away.

"I-it's because y-you remind me of someone horrible I know; one I would rather forget," she forced herself to say as the tears started to stream down her cheeks.

"Horrible, huh?" he said trying to sound casual, trying to hide the hurt that settled at the bottom of his stomach. "Well…I-"

"I'm sorry! I know you're nothing like him!" she stated. "But I'm just afraid right now. He's coming after me, I know it!" she said quickly, knowing that she had hurt him.

"What? Some guy is after you? Are you from like the mafia or som'in?" he asked, completely letting go of her.

She lightly chuckled at his remark, the tears drying up.

"No, I have something that he wants. He was willing to do anything to get it."

"Did you steal it from him?" he asked, his interest rising at the chance at an adventure.

"No!" she retorted, a little annoyed that he would assume such a thing, "He wants to steal it from me."

InuYasha was about to ask another question, but his stomach grumbled loudly; reminding him that he was hungry.

Okay, that was chapter one. Please R&R. (hmm… don't you hate it when you something or someone distracts you while you're going to get some food? And then you forget you're hungry and then you remember… well I do). :-)
