Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.

A girl walked through the halls of Sakura High when she heard loud voices and turned her head to see where it was all coming from. That was when she saw Kagome Higurashi walking into the school.

She ran up to her and said, "Hey Kagome. That is your name, right?" She asked. Kagome smiled and nodded her head. This girl had always talked to her even when Kagome had told her she didn't want any friends. The girl smiled at her reaction because Kagome never smiled in front of people.

"Sango, it's nice to see you." Kagome said. She was sort of losing her run and hide personality, slowly, but surely.

"Wow! You look great Kagome." Sango said. Kagome's smile started to fade. She wouldn't dress that way forever, for a while she would try though. She liked to be noticed, it was nice.

Lunch Time

So far, Kagome's day was uneventful and it was already lunch. She walked over to sit, alone, on a bench in the front of school. Next to the bench was a beautiful Sakura tree. It was there for Sakura High. Kagome always wondered why someone would name a school Sakura High but she never really bothered with it. She figured that it may have been the creator's name but it didn't really matter.

She didn't have a lunch, as usual. Her mom was usually too tired to make her one and she didn't have a job. So, that equaled no money to buy a lunch. She didn't mind going without food because she knew why. It was her father's beatings that always got in the way of any hope for them to have a normal life. Kagome sat there, looking up at the sky. Part of her really wished those guys meant they'd come.

'Oh well, you knew they wouldn't.' She thought miserably. A soft breeze began to blow, making her bun become slightly loose. She fixed her bun then stood up, left her bags where they were, and walked over to the grass. She looked up at the sky and lied down on the green grass. Small blades of green poked the back of her head but it seemed to comfort her.

She then started talking aloud, "What were you hoping for? What were you thinking? You told them you knew they wouldn't come so there, HA! You knew and you were right."

She stared at the clouds for a moment and tried to see if she could create images out of the white things, but couldn't and then said, "How could you wish for friends, you're so stupid. You won't ever get friends so just get used to the fact that you won't!" Kagome started to yell. Tears were filling her eyes and she was about to give in to them when, suddenly, four heads were above her staring wide eyed at her sad face.

"Hey," Sango said when Kagome opened her eyes.

"I'm hallucinating, this isn't happening, you are not here." Kagome said, talking to the people hovering above her.

Then, Kagome shut her eyes again only to be interrupted by Miroku, "Hey, you okay? You kinda look pale. Didn't you remember we told you we'd come? Sango came along too. She wanted to come." Kagome opened her eyes but this time she was aware they were really there. They were all looking at her with a worried expression.

"Wow, I thought you weren't going to come. Well, uh, anyway thanks. I'm glad you came Sango." She said, amazed.

"No problem. We knew you'd be here. We wanted to come. We thought it would be… er… Nice." Inuyasha said with difficulty.

"Yeah!" They all said happily, and she stood up, wiping the extra grass off her pants with a small smile on her face. "Hey where's your lunch?" Kouga asked her.

"Oh, I don't have one. We have to get to the store. We're a bit low on food, you know, and I have no money for a lunch." Kagome said with a shrug for an excuse, which technically was very true.

"Well here, you can have some of mine." Sango said while smiling and handing her half of her sandwich.

"Thanks." Kagome said with a smile, taking the sandwich. Her stomach gave a small growl and the others all laughed. She joined them because she hadn't realized how hungry she'd actually been. Then she ate her food, happy to be where she was at that very moment.

'Maybe there is hope, maybe I can get friends.' Kagome thought as she smiled and sat down to have lunch with her new found companions.
