Chapter One
Student after student found themselves coming into the history class as the warning bell rang, signaling that you needed to be in class soon. A boy with silver hair and his friend walked into the classroom following the group of students. The boy, Inuyasha, and his friend, Miroku, took a seat down next to each other.
Inuyasha and Miroku where one of the more popular people in Shikon High School. Many people envied them, but they didn't seem to care at all. Anyone who looked at Inuyasha could tell he seemed down, but no one had the courage to ask him about it. Only a few people knew what was wrong, one of them being Miroku.
Before students could begin talking, the teacher walked in. The teacher, Ms. Kaede, was very old and wise. Whenever one of the students had a problem, they would always come to her about it.
"Today, class, we have a new student. She wont be coming in until about the middle of class. I would ask that you be considerate to her and show her the respect she deserves." Ms. Keade said. Some people in the class nodded their heads obediently, but no one said a word. They knew better by now than not to talk in Ms. Keade's class.
As Ms. Keade began her lesson some of the students found themselves thinking about other things. The same went for Inuyasha and Miroku. Miroku's thoughts wandered to his friend sitting next to him. Usually by this time it would be on something else, that thing being people of the opposite gender, but now wasn't the time.
Miroku looked at his friend with sympathetic eyes. Inuyasha's girlfriend, well, ex- girlfriend, Kikyo had just suddenly broke up with him. They had been going out for a year and everything had seemed to be going good when she had just suddenly dumped him. For the life of him, Miroku couldn't figure out what would cause her to do that.
Inuyasha's thoughts where about the same as his friend's. 'Where did I go wrong?' Inuyasha thought 'What did I do?' Inuyasha's thoughts where interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Come in" Ms. Keade said as she stopped her lesson. A girl with black hair walked in, a smile on her face and some books in her hands. The moment Inuyasha and Miroku saw the girl, something seemed to happen.
'I feel like I should know her…' Inuyasha thought, but he was sure he had never seen her in his life. Though, she did look a little bit like Kikyo. Inuyasha looked away, figuring that it wasn't important.
"You must be the new student" Ms. Keade said. The girl nodded and Ms. Keade continued. "Class, this is Kagome" Ms. Keade said, "Kagome, you may choose a place to sit."
Kagome looked around the class. Her eyes rested on Inuyasha and Miroku before moving again and resting on a girl in the class that Inuyasha and Miroku recognized as Sango. Inuyasha knew that Miroku had a big crush on Sango, but every time Miroku would try talking to her she would either ignore him, walk away, or both.
The class watched as Kagome went to sit in the empty desk next to Sango. Almost immediately they began passing notes with each other as Ms. Keade began her class.
------------------------------------------------
The rest of the day went on about the same without much being different. Kagome had everyone in a couple classes. At the last class of the day everyone seemed to be staring at the clock, as if staring at it intently would make it ring faster.
Most of the teachers had already given up at getting their student's attention, but some where still trying. When the bell rang everyone quickly exited the school, happy to have the weekend finally here.
Kagome slung her backpack over her shoulder as she exited the school. A small smile was on her lips as she started to walk home.
"Kagome!" Kagome turned in the direction of where she heard her name coming from and saw her new best friend, Sango, running over to her.
"Hi Sango." Kagome said in greeting as her friend caught up to her "What are you doing here?" Kagome questioned.
"Walking home, what else?" Sango said playfully as she caught her breath. "I really need to start running more…" Sango said to herself as she and Kagome began walking again. Kagome let out a small laugh at her friend who just glared at her.
"So, where do you live, Kagome?" Sango asked curiously.
"Not to far from here, just a couple more blocks." Kagome replied casually "You can come see it if you want." Kagome added.
Sango nodded in agreement as she followed Kagome to her house.
------------------------------------------------
"Hurry up, Miroku!" Inuyasha's irritated voice called to his friend. Inuyasha wasn't known for his patience, that was for sure.
"You know, you could learn to be a little more patient." Miroku told his friend as he caught up with him.
"Feh" Came Inuyasha's famous reply as he began walking to his car with Miroku following behind him. Inuyasha got in at the driver's seat and Miroku sat in the passenger's seat. Inuyasha began driving to the apartment that he and Miroku shared to save money.
During the car ride it was mostly quiet. Both boys where too lost in their thoughts to say anything. Usually during around this time they would already be in conversation. Most of the time that leading to an argument and Miroku having to walk the rest of the way, but at least it was a conversation.
Finally, Miroku decided to break the silence.
"Hey, Inuyasha…." Miroku said to get his attention.
"What?" Came Inuyasha's gruff reply.
There was a pause before Miroku spoke again. "I'm sorry, about Kikyo that is." Miroku said as he looked out the window.
"Feh. There's nothing to be sorry about." Inuyasha said in a somewhat agitated tone, as if he would rather not have his friend talking to him about it.
"I know… But still…" Miroku said, genuinely concerned about his friend. He had never seen Inuyasha so down.
"Listen, it doesn't have anything to do with you, so don't worry about it." Inuyasha said, the agitated tone continuing.Miroku nodded in understanding and stayed quite the rest of the ride.
------------------------------------------------
"I'm home!" Kagome said as she entered her house with Sango following her. As soon as they came in many boxes filled with things they had yet to unpack came into view. Among the many boxes stood a woman who Sango guessed to be Kagome's mom.
"Welcome home, honey." Came Mrs. Higurashi's greeting as her daughter and her daughter's friend came through the door "Who is this?" Mrs. Higurashi asked in a polite tone when she noticed Sango.
"This is Sango." Kagome said and gestured to Sango. Sango gave a slight wave as she was introduced.
"Its nice to meet you." Mrs. Higurashi said to Sango politely.
"It is nice to meet you, too" Sango said, returning the polite tone.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled and turned back to Kagome. "Your brother should be back from school soon, you and Sango can go ahead and go up to you room and you can begin unpacking more of your things" Mrs. Higurashi instructed to her daughter. Kagome nodded her head in agreement.
"Come on, Sango. This way to my room." Kagome said as she led Sango up the steps to her room. Sango followed her and soon came upon Kagome's room. This room, like many of the other rooms, had boxes that needed to be unpacked everywhere.
As Sango and Kagome entered her room Sango went and sat down on Kagome's bed. Kagome went to one of the boxes and began unpacking things. Many conversations went on about different things that popped into her heads. Their conversations turned to a certain necklace as it was pulled out of a box.
"What's that?" A curious Sango asked as she saw the necklace in Kagome's hand. Kagome looked at the necklace a moment before replying.
"It is a necklace that my family has had for a long time. It's a family heirloom I guess. Its nothing really special." Kagome replied as she put the necklace with the small pink jewel in a case and laid it on her dresser.
"It is really beautiful." Sango commented as her eyes stayed on the case that held the necklace.
"Thanks." Kagome replied as she began to dig for other things in the box.
"So…." Sango said, her voice having a mischievous tone to it. "Do you have any guys you like so far?"
Kagome felt herself blush, but didn't know why. It just sort of happened. "No…" Kagome replied, not sure where exactly Sango was going with this.
The blush didn't go unnoticed by Sango, who gave a triumphant smirk. "So you do! Who is it!" Sango asked excitedly.
"I told you Sango, I don't like any boys like that." Kagome replied as she pulled an item from a box.
"Okay, maybe not YET." Sango said in triumph. "You know, I heard that track star, Koga I think, has his eye on you! Oh, and Hojo, too!" Sango said excitedly, already planning out people Kagome could go out with.
Kagome gave out an exasperated sigh. "Sango, calm down." Kagome said. It was then that a grin came to Kagome's face. "So, Sango, what about you?" Kagome said, turning around the conversation against Sango.
Sango got a nervous look on her face at what Kagome said, knowing full well what Kagome was trying to do.
"You know, I heard some people talking about how this guy named Miroku keeps trying to talk to you, but you just keep in ignoring him! I think this Miroku guy likes you!" Kagome said excitedly.
"No way. Not Miroku. He always has this group of fan girls following him. All he wants is to make me another one of his mindless minions. Miroku is the very last person I would ever go out with." Sango said, determination in her voice. Kagome couldn't help but notice a small amount of unsureness in her voice as she spoke.
"Sure…." Kagome said, a mischievous tone in her voice that could rival Sango's.
Sango felt determination wash over her as she crossed her arms. "No way, not if he was the last boy on earth." Sango said, the determination in her voice continuing.
"Whatever you say…" Kagome said, her voice unbelieving. Sango glared at her and then they began talking about other things.
------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha and Miroku entered their apartment and turned on the light. The apartment was fairly big and would be nice if you didn't count the fact that some trash seemed to litter the floor.
Inuyasha dropped his backpack by the door and immediately went off to his room. Miroku sighed and laid his bag next to Inuyasha's. He then proceeded to sit down on the couch and watched some TV. Miroku figured that Inuyasha could use some time to his self to think about everything that had happened.
After a while of watching TV Inuyasha decided to come out. Mostly because of his complaining stomach. "Miroku! What are we having for dinner!" Inuyasha demanded.
"I don't feel like cooking, so just find something simple to make." Miroku replied.
"I don't feel like finding something to eat!" Inuyasha said, getting agitated.
"Well, then, you are out of luck." Miroku said, to interested in his show to do anything else but watch it.
Inuyasha let out a low growl. He stomped over to Miroku and grabbed him. He then dragged him over to the door and threw him out "Stupid Monk! Just go and buy some food for us!" Inuyasha yelled as he slammed the door.
Miroku was about to yell back at him when something clicked in his mind. 'Wait a second, did he just call me a monk?' Miroku thought, confused.
