"Hi, I'm Kagome". She said cheerfully to the old man in his desk.
"Oh, the new student. Right…yes" The round man got from his desk. "Everyone, this is Kagome Higurashi. She's a new student here a Pacific Sun High School and I want you all to treat her with respect."
The girl smiled at all the class, but the only person looking up was that one guy with the baggy jeans with the chain that swooped from the front pocket to the back. The girl turned to him and smiled. He smiled back and that was it.
"Kagome, you may take a seat anywhere." The teacher said to her. Kagome smiled and turned to the only desk available which was right in front of Inuyasha. Kagome turned around to him with a smile.
"Hi!" She said cheerfully. Inuyasha looked up from his paper with no expression on his face. "Uh…hi".
He turned back to his paper as Kagome turned back in her seat. They didn't look at each other for the rest of the class. Inuyasha doodled on a piece of paper as Kagome read a book. Suddenly, the bell rang. Students got up and stormed out the door. Inuyasha always was last out. Inuyasha looked up and saw that the new girl was standing right next to him. He looked up. "Can I help you?" He asked a bit annoyed. The shook her head and continued to stand there. "Then what do you want?" He asked still annoyed.
"Could you help me find my other class?" Kagome asked cheerfully handing him her schedule. He sighed grabbing the paper and studying it. "Hmm…you have Art next hour. So do I". He said plainly.
"Great, we can walk together!" Kagome smiled. Suddenly, something caught her eye. She noticed at the marks on his arms. "Hey, where'd you get all those scars?" She asked concerned.
His eyes went wide. No one at school had asked him about the scars since everyone heard what happened. "Glass…" He simply said as he grabbed his binder to leave. Kagome gasped as he threw the paper back to her.
"Hey!" Kagome yelled trying to catch up to him in the hallway. "Hey! Wait!" Finally, she caught up to him. "I'm sorry I asked…" She said sadly.
Inuyasha kept staring straight to the Art room. He sighed when he heard her apology. "It's okay…" He said quietly. "We're going to be late for Art..." Inuyasha said as the bell rang for class to start. The two weren't even half way there yet. Finally, they got to the Art room The Art teacher stared at them with her arms crossed. "I suppose since it's your first day I'll can give you a warning. But Mr. Nagasaki, there is no excuse for you, but you've never been late before so I guess I'll give you a warning as well. Take a seat you two and I don't want to see you two late again, okay?"
"I'm sorry ma'am". Kagome said taking a seat next to a few girls. Kagome tried to pay attention to the teacher, but the girls would not stop talking to her.
"So, what were you and Inuyasha doing?" One girl whispered to Kagome.
"What? I did nothing…" Kagome said innocently.
"Well, I'm Sango." One girl said happily.
"I'm Yuka." Another girl spoke.
"I'm Ayumi." The girl next to her said.
"Hi…I'm Kagome". She smiled.
"Yeah we know…" All three girls said. "The teacher was complaining asking where you were."
The girls talked as they drew self-portraits. All the girls struggled with there's. Ayumi looked over to Kagome's portrait.
"Wow! You're amazing!" Ayumi said surprised. All the girls looked with awe.
"It's nothing, really!" Kagome blushed from embarrassment.
"You're getting an A for sure!" Sango said with a smile.
The hour of Art went by quickly. The bell rang and everyone left. Once again Inuyasha was last and everyone was gone except for Kagome. She waited with her portrait in her hand. Inuyasha turned to see her again and sighed as he cleaned up all the pencil shavings on his table. Kagome turned to his portrait. "Wow, you're good!" Inuyasha looked up. "Huh? Oh….thanks" He said plain but a little embarrassed. Kagome smiled at all the detail in his work. How the lines of lead from the pencil made an exact two dimensional replica of his face. Kagome traced her finger across the lines of art. Inuyasha didn't pay any attention to what she did as he cleaned his area from all the eraser fibers. Inuyasha finally looked up. "You know you don't have to wait for me or else you're going to be late."
Kagome smiled. "I know, but I want to wait for you. I don't care if I'm late. I'll wait for you."
