Chapter 1

Rin nervously smoothened her uniform's coat and skirt as she silently waited in front of the Faculty room for her class's homeroom teacher. After the Opening Ceremony conducted earlier in the day, she was instructed to wait for the teacher who will introduce her to the class, she being the only new student for the entire high school department.

She leaned against the wall beside the door while she held her schoolbag with both hands in front of her. She opened the door expecting to see her homeroom teacher, only to be surprised by the sight of the most beautiful man she had ever seen. His beautiful silver hair, that seems to shine whenever the light touches it, is cropped in a very modern and neat manner with a couple of few long strands braided and left to hang and fall over his chest.. Magenta-colored lines streaked across both his cheeks, and a blue crescent moon marking signifying that he is descended from a line of Daiyokai. Sure enough, it wasn't the homeroom teacher since he was wearing the high school department's uniform and he didn't look like he'd be anywhere near 20 anytime soon.

Momentarily, she has forgotten the gnawing feeling on her nerves and just earnestly took in the beauty right before her very eyes. Rin may have been staring for too long since when her brown eyes met with his golden ones, they were filled with interest and inquisition, as if asking with his gaze "what are you looking at?". They stared at each other for a few fleeting seconds that felt like an eternity for Rin, and was only interrupted by the appearance of the very homeroom teacher she was waiting for.

"Ah, Tachibana-san, it seems you have already met the Student Council President, Takahashi Sesshomaru. If you have any questions about campus life, he is the best person to ask about it." The homeroom teacher introduced.

Rin bowed while saying "Tachibana Rin. Hajimemashite. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

The President only looked at her bowed head and let out a stern "hn" to acknowledge her greeting and introduction. With a nod to the teacher and without even uttering a single word, the beautiful Student Council President left, leaving Rin staring at his broad retreating back.

She was pulled out from her thoughts of the President's back when her name was called. The teacher, which she learned was named Sangaku Yuki, then led her to her class's homeroom to be introduced. Sangaku-sensei went into the room first, he greeted the class and began introducing her to the class.

When she heard her name being called, she walked into the room, careful not to pan-gaze around what she can only imagine as predatory stares while she kept a slow and steady pace with her steps. She kept her head straight, mindful to keep her eyes only on the teacher, until she reached the middle of the room where she had to face the class in order to bow and say the courtesy greetings.

She did all these in a perfect, trance-like manner, something that seems to be rehearsed to perfection over and over. She only came back to reality when the teacher spoke to her.

"Ah, Tachibana-san, you may now take your seat behind Higurashi-san." He said gesturing to an empty seat behind a girl with black hair whom she guesses to be Higurashi-san.

She walked to her assigned seat and as she moved, she could feel the eyes of the people in the room follow her. She sat on the seat and hung her bag at the hook on the side of the table and brought out her books to be placed under her desk. She did all these while making the least possible noise. When she finally looked up from her little tasks, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her, together with a very wide grin. Rin blinked to wash away the shock she just felt and she heard a giggle.

"Tachibana-san, I'm Higurashi Kagome. You can call me Kagome-chan. It's so nice to finally meet you. I heard you got in with a full scholarship. You must be really smart. Oh my gosh I feel like I'm doing all the talking here. I hope you don't think badly of me. I'm just really excited. We never get new people in our grade. You're our batch's first transferee since forever."

She continued to ramble on about not having transferees and her excitement everything.

"Yah, Kagome. Let the girl breathe. Don't smother her with enthusiasm." Said a voice from behind her.

She turned around to see a guy with braided long silver hair. For a moment, she thought it was the president, until she saw two cute white doggy ears above his head. She's only heard of hanyous but is yet too see one since they were considered a rarity in her hometown, since it was composed mainly of humans.

"Oh, that's Inuyasha. Don't mind him. He's just an airhead. I'm lucky you're here and I don't have to sit in front of him anymore like I did since Pre-K." Kagome said in a dismissive tone directed towards Inuyasha.

"Omae! Yah, Kagome. Why'd you call me an airhead?" Inuyasha said, evidently annoyed.

After that, an exchange of rather loud and insulting words ensued between the two. Rin helplessly watched, internally debating with herself whether she should stop both of them or just let them be. Besides, she barely knows them.

"They're always like that. Don't think it's your fault. You'll get used to it. Hitogoroshi Sango by the way." Said the girl next to Kagome.

"Yeah, you'd think they hated each other if you didn't know they've been friends since they were little children, or that they're actually dating. By the way, I'm Saishi Miroku." The guy sitting beside me, and behind the girl named Sango added.

Suddenly, she heard a loud slap and there was a red handprint on that guy, Miroku's, face. Shortly after she heard Sango utter the words "pervert" and "dirty old man".

Rin barely had the chance to say a single word to any of them but she already feels like her school days would never be boring.
