Chapter 1: That First Day
Inuyasha wrinkled his nose. "Is this supposed to be food?" he asked Kagome.
She laughed. "Well, at least now you know to bring your lunch from now on," she said, shrugging. She pulled out a small bag and pulled out various baggies and containers. "Do you want some real food?" she asked, pushing an apple towards him.
He snatched it up and took a big bite. "Oh, fanks," he said, choking on the bits of apple as he tried to talk.
She laughed again and turned to talk to Sango.
Inuyasha looked around the crowded cafeteria. This school was a lot different from his old school, which hadn't been so clique-ish.
His attention was drawn away from the cafeteria by the approach of a new person. A tall guy with a long black ponytail sat down in the unoccupied seat beside Kagome, directly across from Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's first (and surprisingly accurate) feeling was that he did not like this guy.
"Ah, hello Kouga," Kagome greeted, she sounded slightly awkward, like she would rather not be talking to this Kouga guy.
"Hello Kagome! I hope you had a marvelous summer," he said, grabbing her hands. Kagome's face erupted into a bright blush and she pulled her hands away.
"Uh, yeah its was okay," she said. "How was yours?"
He smirked. "It was pretty good, it lacked certain elements that would've made it better…"
"Like?"
"You, of course!" he said flatteringly. Finally, he turned his attention to Inuyasha. "Who's this?"
"This is Inuyasha," Kagome said quickly.
Kouga narrowed his blue eyes. "Is he new or somethin'?" he asked.
"Yeah, so what if I am?" Inuyasha retorted rudely, cutting across Kagome.
"I don't like your tone," Kouga snapped back.
"Inuyasha, Kouga, really, try and get along!" Kagome said, sounding annoyed.
"Kouga!" someone exclaimed. Kouga bit his lip.
"Hi, Ayame," he muttered.
"Are you over here starting a fight?" the new girl, a redhead about Kagome's height, asked.
"No!"
"Well, come on, I have our lunches," she said.
"You heard your girlfriend, go," Inuyasha taunted.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Kouga exclaimed, blushing.
"Yes I am! You asked me out over the summer," she told him. "You have such a horrid memory for these kind of things, Kouga," she muttered, linking arms with him and pulling him along.
"I see you've met Kouga," Miroku said, sitting down in the empty seat beside Inuyasha.
"I don't like that guy," he muttered.
Kagome laughed. "Oh, don't mind him."
"So, Inuyasha, where did you go to school before you came here?" Sango asked.
"I went to school a couple towns over, but I got expelled so I had to come live with my stupid ass brother so I could go here."
"Why'd you get expelled?" Miroku pressed.
Inuyasha shrugged. "I don't know, I skipped school a lot and got into trouble, they just got sick of me," he said.
Kagome laughed hesitantly. "It happens."
A few tables over, a small group of girls were conversing in a bored way. "Hey," one dark haired girl said, nudging her companion. "Isn't that Kikyou's old boyfriend?" she asked, pointing to a white haired boy.
The girl she had just addressed looked over. "It is," she muttered, smirking. "I wonder if Kikyou know…"
"Tsubaki, don't do anything. You remember what happened last time you made Kikyou mad!" A girl with short dark hair said, leaning in to the conversation.
The girl called Tsubaki ran a hand through her long silver hair. "I know, Yura. I was just going to tell her, see how she feels about him being so buddy-buddy with her dear cousin. I must be off, you guys wanna come with?"
Another girl, with long teal hair, looked up. "I'll go."
She and Tsubaki both left the table, leaving the two black haired girls to look at each other nervously.
"Hopefully they'll keep themselves out of trouble," Yura said
The other girl, who had bright red eyes, laughed. "Like hell Yura."
"Kagura, maybe we should go make sure they don't do anything…rash. Or provoke anyone."
"Just because my brother makes horrible lunches and I have nothing better to do," she said, tossing down a rather lumpy sandwich and standing. They hurried to catch up with their friends.
"Glad you decided to join us," Tsubaki remarked smugly.
"Hello Hiten," Kaguya said, smirking as she approached a tall boy with a long braid. "How are you?"
Hiten broke away from his conversation to look at her. "Hey Kaguya, I'll talk to you later," he said, turning back to his friend.
Kaguya looked simply furious at being turned down for a conversation, but Tsubaki steered her in a better direction, they had spotted their quary.
"Hello Kikyou," Tsubaki said with a forced pleasantness in her voice. "Do you have a shift tonight?" she asked.
Kikyou was a thin, pale dark haired girl with somber eyes. "Yes, do you?"
Tsubaki nodded. "Would you like a ride?"
"No, Kaede is giving me a ride."
Tsubaki nodded again, and smirked. "Well, I came over to see you because I was wondering if you'd noticed that your ex-boyfriend, Inu-what's-his-face, is here at school. I thought it would interest you," she explained.
Kikyou raised a thin eyebrow. "Hardly interesting," she said flatly. "I and Inuyasha had our differences, and it barely concerns me that he's here, I know you came over here for the sheer delight of getting a rise out of me, but I'm sorry."
Tsubaki tried to look offended. "You're too sharp, Kikyou," she said, signaling for her friends to follow her back to their seats.
"You're in our seats," Tsubaki snapped rudely.
One of the three boys snorted, he was very pretty in a feminine sort of way and seemed to loathe the four girls' very presence. "They don't have your names written on them."
"We were sitting here," she pointed out.
"But when we got here, you weren't," another interjected.
"Ah, Bankotsu, don't talk to them," the feminine guy said, reaching over and stealing something from Bankotsu's lunch bag.
Tsubaki smirked again. "These are our seats, we sit here everyday."
"Tsubaki, the scene is not necessary," Yura told her, eyeing the back of Bankotsu's head. "We can find different seats. There are four perfectly good seats right here," she said, pointing to the empty stretch of seats beside the three boys that had taken their preferred area.
"Fine," Tsubaki relented, sitting down in one of the empty seats near the group of guys that had 'stolen' their 'rightful' spot. She looked over their heads at the table where Inuyasha was sitting. Maybe she could make this school year fun.
