Past Vengeance

Chapter 3) First Impression

I awoke the next morning to the sound of banging pots. I groaned and rolled over. "Couldn't she have just bought me a regular alarm clock like everyone else?" I wondered aloud. I then chuckled. "Lie, of course not. That would have made it too easy and all the old hag wants is to MAKE YOUR LIFE HARDER!" I began to myself and then directed it downstairs. When I heard the banging stop I smirked. "Much better... Now lets see what she bought... I swear... If I have to look like a freak..." I trailed off and opened the closet door.

After ten minutes of looking I finally settled on something acceptable. "Damn hag... Wants me to wear pink? I prefer green.. Or white... Maybe even red... Or hell! Black would even do!" I complained to myself. Realizing my ranting and raving I looked in the mirror. "You, Higurashi Kagome, are a miko! Now behave like one dammit!" I hissed at myself. With a sigh I hopped into the shower and in a matter of ten more minutes was downstairs with dried hair, dressed, and ready to go. "Not a morning person, ne?" Kaede asked as she looked at me.

I had picked out a pair of blue jeans with a white T-shirt that read, "Today's not your lucky day" in black lettering. I had on a pair of traditional sandals worn by miko's. She then noticed the quiver of hamaya on my back. "Kagome, ye are not thinking of taking ye hamaya and bow are ye?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. I groaned as I got the hint and grumbled. "Then I guess my katana stays too..." I said and also slipped my katana from somewhere. Kaede chuckled. "What are you laughing at, Lady Kaede..." I asked with a mouthful of apple.

"Oh nothing, now hurry or ye will be late for the bus." Kaede told her. I grunted. "Nani?" Kaede asked. "I prefer to walk to school." I bluntly stated and walked outside. Inside the ichidou Kaede sighed. "She won't get over this one for a while..." she murmured and began working on locating any of the shards of the Shikon no Tama.

–With Kagome–

I sighed as my silky raven tresses floated in the wind. My rosy lips didn't smile nor frown. "Better make the best of this... I'll go to school quietly, but there's no way in hell I'll make any friends..." I told herself. Stop kidding yourself. You know you want friends. A voice in my mind stated. No I don't! They'll only get in the way with their weakness! I retorted back. Admit it... You want friends but are scared... my thought began. "That they'll die because of you and like your parents..." and finished it in a whisper. I shook my head. "Great... Now I'm going crazy too!" I exclaimed silently. I finally made it to the High School I would be attending for the next three years and thoughts began to swirl in my head. I was so caught up in the thoughts that I didn't realize where I was going until...

"Oi wench! Watch where you're going!" demanded a gruff voice as the owner stood up. I as well stood up and scowled. "And who the hell do you think you are to go around yelling at people like that!" I exclaimed with my hands already on my hips. I finally looked into the face of the rude person. Oh my god... I thought and looked at his long locks of silver hair. Two dog like ears sat atop his head but yet his appearance was completely human, except for the fangs and claws. An inu-hanyou huh? My eyes darted back to his ears and I could feel him become uncomfortable. Why do I want to... rub them?

"Oi! What are you? A moron?" he asked me as I continued to gaze at him under an intense look. I finally looked into his eyes and what I saw caused me to gasp. Those amber orbs of gold were the most beautiful I have ever seen!

–InuYasha's Point of View–

Another damn year at this cruddy school.... I sighed as memories came back of the past years. Still hasn't sunk in that she's... I suddenly hit the ground with a loud 'oof' from me and the colliding person. I looked to see the person had been a girl. I growled slightly at this, it being a human after all. "Oi wench! Watch where you're going!" I demanded in a gruff voice I knew as my own. I stood up and the girl slowly stood up. I watched as she scowled and my mouth nearly fell open at what my ears heard. "And who the hell do you think you are to go around yelling at people like that!" she yelled at me. No one had ever dared yelling at me, well not the humans anyway.

I felt uncomfortable as she studied me and my inu-ears. What the hell is she staring at? Hasn't she ever seen ears before? I asked myself as I unconsciously fell into a foul mood. "Oi! What are you? A moron?" I asked as she continued to stare at me. I smirked when a small gasp escaped her lips. I took my time to study her. She had smooth looking raven hair that ended at her small and petite waist. Damn... I thought. I then mentally slapped myself. What was I thinking? I was an inuhanyou and she a... Miko?

–Back to Kagome–

I finally shook myself from the trance I had been caught in and scoffed. "Fil–" I began but couldn't bring myself to say those hurtful words. This wasn't like me.. I have never been one to pass up an insult and yet I couldn't insult this simple-minded inuhanyou! "Keh... Open up your blind eyes." I merely stated before pushing past him and continue on down my way to the main office of this already intolerable building. "This is going to be a long and slow year..." I mumbled to myself as I opened the office door and stepped inside. When I entered the office I felt my hands quickly be grabbed. "What the–" I began when I was interrupted, which irritated me. "Would you do me the honor of bearing my child?" asked a voice. I looked at the face and twisted my nose in disgust. The boy had raven hair and violet eyes. He seemed to be a normal human until I sensed the presence of spiritual abilities. I smirked. So he's a houshi ne? "Hentai!" came the fierce bellow of a young girl with her thick brown hair pulling into a high ponytail.

She slapped him hard across the face and left a red mark. She crossed her arms and began to mumble. "You'll have to excuse him for his hentai ways... The damn lecher..." she grumbled. Her gaze them softened to reveal that her fudge colored eyes were friendly. "My name's Sango. I haven't seen you around before, are you new?" she asked me. I merely gave her one of my infamous 'keh's' and nodded. "Hai." I replied bluntly before escaping the insanity that seemed to have entrapped me. God damn school... I'll end up killing the lot of them!

I went to the secretary. "Hai, I'd like to get my schedule... And sometime today would be nice." I said with sarcasm in my voice as I looked at her. She handed me my schedule and I looked to find that my home room was 121, Mr. Myouga. Great... A flea youkai for a teacher.. I inwardly groaned. "Now to find home room 121..." I said to myself. I jumped in surprise when Sango began to speak. "Home room 121? Wow! Both Miroku and I have that home room! Come on, we'll show it to you!" she offered and grabbed my hand. I looked at her like she was crazy. Who the hell did she think she was? I could have easily shocked her, but something from within myself kept me in line. She then turned to look past me. "One wrong move, houshi and you'll wish that Naraku came after you himself." she threatened. My eyes widened. D-Did she just say... Naraku? I'd wait until later on that day to learn of their connections towards him. Maybe being around these lunatics wouldn't hurt my sanity all that bad, after all... It was beginning to leave me anyway.

Author's Note: Welp, I introduced our favorite inu-hanyou! I hope I pegged him right... Then came our own hentai-loving lecherous monk, Miroku. I pulled his entrance off perfect if I do say so myself... Then enter Sango! I love her personality... Soon I'll be tying up the lose ends to somehow connect our Inu-Tachi like they are in the anime... Though I will have InuYasha's background a bit different then it really is... In the following chapters I plan on bringing back a certain someone that could make the story go along a bit faster. Don't worry, Kagome will be somewhat herself soon. If I'm going to slow please let me know by reviewing! As always, here's a little dictionary for you. Not many Japanese words were used... Sue me:

Lie - No

Miko - Shrine Maiden; Priestess

Ne - Eh

Lie - No

Hamaya - Purity Arrows

Katana - A weapon much like a sword, only more lightweight and easier to handle

Nani - What

Ichidou - Shrine

Shikon no Tama - Jewel of Four Souls; Ball of Four Souls

Oi - Hey

Wench - Much like the vulgar name "bitch" but less insulting

Inu-Hanyou - Dog Half Demon Inu - Dog Hanyou - Half Demon

Inu-Ears - Dog Ears

Houshi - Monk

Hentai - Pervert

Hai - Yes

Youkai - Full Demon

Again, please read and review! I don't need an amount of reviews before I update, but it would be appreciated! Oh and I'll also be getting more chapters up after I write them, today! Any suggestions are welcome!
