Chapter 3 Half breed


Inuyasha woke up and picked up his phone on his bedside table. His eyes adjusting to having just woken up, he saw notifications on his screen. Miroku had messaged him.

Miroku was Inuyasha's first friend at Fairborne High.

Ever since Inuyasha arrived, being the first Yokai, the first Hanyou, the first half breed, to attend the school. It was a major event

People treated him like shit to put it simply. He hated humans. Hated the way they just assumed every demon was the same. But Miroku, he was the only one to talk to him. The only one to actually get to know him. He never judged. He was a womaniser yes. But apart from that, harmless.

Inuyasha opened the message.

Miroku - Yo Yasha! Sorry I didn't hang with you yesterday. I really had a chance with Sango yesterday and I didnt want to blow it !

Inuyasha replied - It's cool. Any improvement with mission Sango?

Seconds later Miroku replied.

Miroku - I mean, she only hit me once yesterday. So I see that as progress. She was excited when I told her I got a part time job.

Inuyasha - Sounds like progress I guess.

Miroku - So I heard a rumour. You made a new friend?

Inuyasha - ...

Miroku - C'mon man, at least give me details!

Inuyasha didnt want to reply. Yesterday was a mix of emotions and he was only just starting to wrap his head around everything.

Miroku - Fine be like that. I'll see you in school. You can let me meet your new friend in person.

Inuyasha groaned. Miroku would definitely try to hit on Kagome. Eventhough Miroku only wanted to be with Sango, it didn't stop him from expressing his admiration for other women. Clicking off the messages, inuyasha noticed a message from a random number. He raised his brow and clicked on it.

? - Hi Inuyasha! It's Kagome. Thanks for walking me home. Hope you got home safely.

Inuyasha golted up in his bed. Staring at the message on the screen intensly. He totally forgot that after school, he walked Kagome home. They talked a lot while walking home, about TV, music, movies and at the end of it he gave Kagome his number. He felt as though it was a dream and did not really happen.

"Fuck me." He groaned. "I hope she didn't think I was trying to hit on her." He flopped back down on the bed. Sighing holding his phone to his chest. He thought, 'She is cute. But she's sweet and trusting. I dont want to mess things up. I want to keep her friendship.'

He raised the phone and replied to Kagomes message. Then saving her number on his phone.

Inuyasha - Hi Kagome, yeah I got home ok. I'll see you at school.

Inuyasha started to get ready. Getting dressed in his usually black shirt with ripped jeans. He hooked a chain onto the belt of his jeans and adjusted the piercings in his dog ears and lip. "These snake bites are starting to piss me off." He uttered to himself.

Adjusting them. He sprayed some cologne, which abused his nose for a second. He held his nose while the scent calmed down. Then he heard his phone ping.

Kagome.

He grabbed it quickly opening the message.

Kagome - Thats great ! Looking forward to today. We have art class together !

Inuyasha - Im not very good at art.

Kagome - Wow, you have a class you arent good at. This is my time to impress you then !

Inuyasha laughed. She kept telling him yesterday how impressive he was. But really Inuyasha didn't see it as very impressive. He just has a photo graphic memory. His intellectual state wasn't due to hard work and study.

Inuyasha - Looking forward to it

Kagome - See ya !

Inuyasha rushed to school. Normally he wasn't too bothered about getting there on time. Since the classes he normally breezed through the work. Teachers didn't seem to care about his punctuality. Or maybe it was because he was a half demon. They're too scared to speak to him. Today was different. He was practically running to school. He was actually looking forward to the day ahead.

Inuyasha shrugged off the bad thoughts and approached the gates of the school. At the gate he saw Miroku stood there with his arms folded. Looking particularly pissed off.

"What's with the ugly face?" Inuyasha smirked.

Miroku scowled, "Yasha you seriously need to tell me when serious life events happen to you."

Inuyasha was confused. He said back, "Don't call me that asshole and what major life event are you even talking about?"

Miroku's mouth hung wide and he almost yelled, "YOU MADE FRIENDS WITH A WOMAN!"

Inuyasha quickly put his hands over Miroku's mouth. He hissed, "Miroku, you need to shut up! Seriously why the fuck are you so annoying."

Miroku licked Inuyasha's hands. Inuyasha pulled back, disgust plastered all over his face. Wiping his hands slimey hands on Miroku's jeans.

Miroku laughed pushing Inuyasha,

"Sorry, I just can't believe it. I can't believe you got a girlfriend and didn't tell me! You best friend! I'm hurt!" He said dramatically, grabbing his chest as though his heart were giving out.

Inuyasha sighed and said back, "One, she's not my girlfriend. Two, she might not be my friend much longer, if she meets your weird ass."

Miroku laughed, "I'll behave, I promise."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and they walked into the school. Miroku was in Class A and it was on the first floor of the school compared to Class B that was on the second. Miroku wandered upstairs with Inuyasha, determined to meet this new friend he had made.

They reached class B and waited outside. It wasn't long before Kagome walked upstairs. She was wearing a light blue dress, with moon hair clips that pinned back her hair. Carrying her pink backpack that was too big and heavy for her small frame.

"Hi!" She waved walking over. Kagome noticed the person standing next to Inuyasha. She recognised him as the creepy guy that dragged Sango away yesterday.

Miroku grabbed her hands and kissed them, to the shock of both Inuyasha and especially to Kagome. Who stood frozen.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, I'm Miroku. I understand you are friends with my dear Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha hit Miroku hard on the head.

"OW!" Miroku exclaimed. Glaring furiously towards inuyasha.

"Stop grabbing her hands like that freak." Inuyasha scorned.

Kagome was still in a daze. "Um, I'm Kagome."

Miroku looked surprised and then said, "Oh you are Kagome! Sango was telling me yesterday she felt bad she left you alone on your first day! Sorry" he apologised with a cheeky smile, "That was my bad. I dragged her away from you didn't I?"

Kagome shook her head, "It's okay, she didn't have to feel bad about it."

Miroku looked at inuyasha with approval.

"She's so kind." He looked back at Kagome, who flinched slightly, not knowing what this guy was gunna do next.

"Kagome, I won't steal Sango away next time. I can't hog her beauty from everyone."

"You like Sango huh?" Kagome said with a small smile.

Miroku spoke with a caring tone, "Like is not a good enough word Kagome... well I better get going or I'm going to be late! Sango will murder me if I show up late again." He chuckled. Saying goodbye, before running off back downstairs.

Inuyasha sighed, "Sorry about that. He is harmless really. He just, really likes flirting."

Kagome smiled, "He seems like a nice person. Although, if he grabs me again. Next time I'll hit him."

Inuyasha laughed, "Totally get it."

Before lunch, Kagome and Inuyasha both walked to their class. Art. Inuyasha hated art. It wasn't something his photo graphic memory helped with. You can't copy art. That's a big no no. Kagome however, she adored it. She had all the pencils, pens and paints ready. Her backpack looked heavy for good reason. Inuyasha watched as the girl next to him, pulled out a ton of supplies. While all he had was a 2B pencil.

Kagome looked over, "You can use my stuff if you like. Just be gentle with the paints. They're kinda expensive. I saved a lot of allowance to buy those." She said proudly. Pointing at the lovely paint set she placed on the desk.

"I'm good with the pencil." Inuyasha answered. Honestly intimidated to even touch Kagome's expensive things.

By the end of the class, Kagome had made a beautiful piece of art. A stunning picture of a jewel. Pink and round. Swirled with detail to make it look shiny. The reflections perfectly captured. It looked as though he could pick it up off the page. "Wow Kagome. That's seriously impressive."

Kagome beamed, "You think so? Thank you Inuyasha. That means a lot!"

Kagome tried to peer over at Inuyasha's work. However, he was too quick and covered it with his arms.

Kagome spoke sadly, "You won't let me see it?"

Inuyasha felt a pang of guilt, "Look it's really bad."

Kagome shook her head and pushed his arms out of the way. Grabbing the paper. The drawing was of a cute wolf creature. It was surprisingly good. Not anything as detailed as Kagomes painting. But she was definitely impressed.

"You said you weren't good at art?" She said accusing him of lying.

Lunchtime

Kagome and Inuyasha both walked into the cafeteria. Out of nowhere Kagome felt a shove and fell to the ground. Inuyasha immediately grabbed her and helped her up. "Shit! Kagome are you okay!?" He said concerned.

Kagome nodded,"Yeah, all good." She stood up, dusting off her red knees.

Inuyasha looked and saw Kikyo walking over towards Naraku's table. He growled.

"That bitch, she thinks she can just push you over like that."

Kagome gently placed her hand on his arm. "It's okay. It could've been an accident. Let's just leave it be, okay?" Kagome's calm voice, it persuaded Inuyasha and they headed towards the same table as yesterday.

"Kagome!" A bright voice greeted. Kagome looked to see Sango, happily stood there holding her lunch. "Hi Inuyasha" She said less enthusiastically. But still happy to see him as well.

"Hi Sango! You want to have lunch together?" Kagome asked in a hopeful tone.

Sango nodded, sat down and prepared her lunchbox.

"I'm so glad we are having lunch together. I felt so bad about yesterday. Miroku really doesn't-"

"Look Sango, if you are going to insult me. At least don't do it infront of me." Miroku laughed. Taking a seat next to Sango.

"Who said you could join?" Sango said, pretending to be annoyed.

Miroku pointed at Inuyasha. Then at Kagome.

"My friends."

Sango's eyes rolled, "Anyways. Before I was rudely interupted.." Miroku made a face dagger to his heart. Making Kagome chuckle.

"Kagome, I can't believe you stood up to Naraku yesterday!" Sango exclaimed excitedly. "No one does that!"

Kagome looked confused,"No one?"

Everyone shook their head. Inuyasha spoke, "I'll say shit sometimes. But, I never really bother to fight that guy."

Sango added, "He sorta controls the school. Everyone is under his thumb. And Kikyo. Well that bitch she-" Inuyasha cut her off with a glare. "Uh yeah you get it. They're just crap people." Sango finished.

Kagome asked geniuenly dumbfounded, "What makes him so popular?"

Sango shrugged, "Probably because he is average looking and his father is filthy rich and owns the school."

Miroku joined in, "Yeah they got so much money, they probably wipe their asses with it!" He mimicked wiping his ass. Making Inuyasha laugh and Sango get even more frustrated with him.

"Some people have brains in here though. Take me. I'll be friends with who I want. Naraku can't tell me who I can and can't be friends with. But I must admit, in the past I've not stuck up for Inuyasha when he has said shitty things. Inuyasha has sorta just dealt with it. But you did." She smiled, "Without hesitation."

Kagome blushed. Looking down at her lunch and taking a bite of her egg salad sandwich.

Inyasha coughed, trying to divert the topic. He then said, "Well guys, off topic. Anyone see that the new Spider-Boy film is out?"

"Yeah! Bro it looks so sick!" Miroku squealed excitedly.

"We should all go see it!" Sango suggested. To the agreement of Inuyasha and Miroku.

"That includes you Kagome!" Sango added, smiling at Kagome. Who still looked awkward eating her sandwich.

Kagome swallowed before talking, "Oh! Sure I'd like to come. Sounds fun."

The rest of the lunch they talked and laughed. Inuyasha felt normality. Despite that, every now and then. He could hear in the distance. People snearing. People talking. Spouting venom. Ignorant. He tried to pretend he couldnt hear them.

"Dirty half breed."
