Chapter Two

Kagome stretched her arms high above her head as she followed her newest friend, Inuyasha, down the hallway.

"Thank Kami, it's finally lunch time! I'm starving!" she commented as she put her arms down and looked over to her silver-haired friend. He nodded in agreement with her.

"Hey Inuyasha-kun are you going to the cafeteria to purchase lunch?" She asked, taking note to the fact that they were not heading toward the cafeteria, but rather walking upstairs. They had already dropped by Kagome's locker to drop off her things. She also grabbed her bento from her locker, not needing to drop by the cafeteria herself, but Inuyasha currently didn't have anything. He shook his head in response.

A worried expression crossed Kagome's face. "You don't have any money for lunch?" He didn't answer, and simply continued up the stairs. Before Kagome could ask anything more on the subject, they arrived at their destination.

'The roof? This is where he eats every day?' Kagome questioned, she smiled. 'I wouldn't mind eating up here every day… it's private, away from everyone, and we are outside… and oh how I love being outdoors.' Kagome took in a deep breath, breathing in the fresh air. 'But has Inuyasha always eaten alone?' Her expression saddened as her gaze followed her hanyou friend. He was now standing near a bench, near the end of the roof; he put his hands on the railing and let the wind blow through his hair. Kagome gasped. 'He looks so… beautiful… almost like… like an angel…'

Inuyasha then turned to look at her, waving his hand for her to come on over. Kagome quickly shook her head, shaking the thoughts from her mind and blushed; she then made her way over to Inuyasha, taking a seat on the bench.

"Are you going to eat anything for lunch Inuyasha-kun?" she asked placing her bento on her lap. Inuyasha bowed his head, his bangs covering his eyes, and he sighed. Letting go of the railing, he turned to take a seat next to Kagome. She watched as he rummaged through his bag to pull out a blank notebook. He then scribbled something into it, handing it to Kagome. The whole time he was avoiding her gaze.

'I don't have anything for lunch and no… I don't have any money for lunch either…' Kagome gaped at him in disbelief.

"Inuyasha!" She cried. Her expression then softened. "Your ryoushin didn't make lunch for you? Or give you any money for lunch?" He shook his head. Millions of questions were running through Kagome's mind at the moment, all of which she wanted to find out about the hanyou, but the expression on his face caused her to bite her tongue.

'He will tell me when he is ready… I mean Kami I just met the guy! It's not like he is going to go spill his heart out to me on the first day!' She watched him shift uncomfortably, lean back on the bench and gaze toward the sky. 'No matter how much I may already care for him.' She smiled.

"Inuyasha –kun?" He looked at her.

"Would you like to share my bento with me? Okaa-san accidently made a bit too much this morning for otouto and I, so I have plenty to spare." Kagome smiled at him. Inuyasha stared at her in surprise.

'Sh-she wants to share… her lunch… w-with me?' He grabbed the notebook from her and began to scribble.

'Y-you don't have to do that! I'm alright… really…' Kagome glared at him.

"Inuyasha… I'm not going to sit here, eat in front of you and watch you starve. Now quit trying to push me away and just accept my offer." Kagome said sternly. Inuyasha's shoulders slumped; he sighed and nodded in defeat. Kagome smiled brightly and she opened up her bento setting it between them on the bench for both of them to share, handing Inuyasha a pair of chopsticks.

Inuyasha accepted to chopsticks from her and watched her as she grabbed a rice ball from the box, sighing happily as she took a bite and gazed up at the clouds slowly drifting by.

'I-I can't believe she offered to share her lunch with me… me a lowly hanyou… I really don't deserve this…' Inuyasha looked at the bento box, observing the food Kagome's mother had made. There certainly was a lot to spare, he doubted someone as small as Kagome would be able to eat it all. Inuyasha's mouth began to water and his stomach growled. 'Ahh what the hell…' Inuyasha then grabbed himself a rice ball and hungrily shoved it into his mouth. Kagome watched Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye and softly giggled.

"That good huh?" she asked and Inuyasha nodded his head vigorously grabbed himself some chicken teriyaki. While Kagome was watching Inuyasha she couldn't help but wonder…

'Inuyasha… how often do you actually eat a decent meal?' Quickly clearing the thought before Inuyasha could detect her sudden change in mood, she giggled again and grabbed herself some spicy crab sushi. (AN: Mmmm my favorite!!!)

'Well damn Kagome's okaa-san can certainly make one hell of a meal!' Inuyasha thought. He looked over to the women on his mind. He stared as the wind gently blew through her hair, her eyes closed and a small smile crossing her gentle features.

'She really is extraordinarily beautiful… and she's been so kind to me… she hasn't reacted like any of the other students have toward me and she even cried for me and defended me in front of everyone… but she doesn't know everything about me yet…' Inuyasha's expression saddened and his ears drooped.

'Kagome-chan… please… please don't leave me… don't treat me like everyone else… if you truly are her… just don't… I need you by my side…'

"Finally! School is over!" Kagome exclaimed, once again stretching her arms above her head.

"Hey Inuyasha-kun would you like to…" As Kagome dropped her arms and opened her eyes to catch Inuyasha's attention, she found that the hanyou was nowhere in sight.

"Inuyasha-kun?" Kagome was worried now. Something wasn't right, she could just feel it. Kagome walked through the hallways of the school quickly, looking frantically for her new-found friend, but also trying not to draw to much attention to herself. That's when she heard it, a piercing, heart-wrenching scream. She had no doubt in her mind… it was Inuyasha. She frantically looked around, trying to decipher where the sound had come from. That's when she saw a group of students gathering outside the school's front doors. Kagome sprinted, wasting no time. She burst through the doors and quickly turned around to where the rest of the students had directed their attention.

She saw him… the youkai from this morning… he currently held Inuyasha by his collar, an evil grin spread across the youkai's face. Just as she was about to run up to the youkai and free Inuyasha from his grasp, the youkai punched Inuyasha's already beaten and bloodied face, knocking him onto the ground a loud crack could be heard throughout the school yard.

"INUYASHA!!!!!" Kagome screamed. All attention was then drawn to her as she shoved her way through the crowd. She fell to her knees beside the badly beaten hanyou, and at the sight of him she couldn't help the tears that fell from her face. One of Inuyasha's eyes had been swollen shut, blood streamed out of his mouth and down from his temple to the bottom of his chin. When the wolf youkai punched the hanyou into the ground she could clearly see his arm had been broken in several places and wouldn't doubt some of his ribs were broken as well, at the very least cracked. She lightly traced her fingers over the unwounded features on his face.

"Inuyasha-kun…" she whispered so softly only Inuyasha could hear her.

Inuyasha came back to consciousness, but did not open his eyes when he heard his name called. He then felt a feathery, gentle touch on his face and inhaled that oh so familiar, yet calming sweet scent.

'Kagome-chan… you weren't supposed to see this…'

"Oi women!" the wolf youkai called out. Kagome dropped her hand into her lap and sniffed, clearing away hers tears, anger expression now spread across her face. She stood up, slowly and got between Inuyasha and the youkai, she opened her sapphire eyes to glare at him. Inuyasha tried to growl, but his side was injured, causing nothing to come out due to the pain.

'Kuso…. That fucking wolf… he better not touch my Kagome-chan!' Inuyasha stiffened slightly.

'Mine? Kagome-chan is nowhere near mine…. Where the fuck did that come from?!'

"It's Kagome." She growled. Inuyasha was taken aback, he still did not move nor did he open his eyes, not wanting to attract any extra attention.

'Did she just growl?'

The youkai gave her a look. "Whatever, what the hell do you think you are doing baka?"

"I'm putting an end to this." She answered simply. The wolf youkai howled a fierce laugh, fellow students following suit. Kagome didn't budge, she didn't flinch, and she didn't falter. She only continued to glare at the wolf youkai standing in front of her. The youkai finally calmed down and proceeded on with his conversation with her.

'What? Wh-What the fuck does she think she's doing? Kagome shut up! This is how things are supposed to be?! It'll never change!'

"You're wasting your time girl. Have you not realized it yet? This scum behind you is a half-breed. He doesn't fucking belong. You being a human should see that. That dog breath is better off dead; he should have never been born. We are only trying to do him a favor and put an end to his misery." The youkai watched the young girl before him, expecting her to come to her senses.

"You start hanging around him you will only get yourself hurt, but I'm sure everyone will let this go considering you are new here and probably didn't know any better." The wolf youkai walked up to Kagome placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Come on now, leave him." Inuyasha tried to growl again.

'He's right, he is completely right. But I don't want her to leave; I need her by my side! Kagome don't listen to him! Don't go! I promise…. I'll protect you if you stay by my side! Just… whatever you do… don't leave me!'

"No." Kagome growled. Inuyasha's heart swelled. The youkai looked at the girl in front of him. Her eyes now covered under her bangs, her fists were tightly clenched at her sides. Suddenly he heard his girlfriend shout out to him.

"Kouga! Get away from her! Sh-She's about to…" Kouga's scream echoed though the school yards as he ripped his hand away from the girl. He held out his hand and it looked as if he had been burned.

"You bitch! What did you do?!" Kouga barked.

'Wh-What the fuck just happened… if felt like… like she tried to purify him!'

"You leave Inuyasha alone. He DOES NOT deserve this kind of treatment just because he is a hanyou! He IS NOT a damned half-breed he is a hanyou and for kami sake he has a damned name!" Kagome shouted. She picked up her head; Ayame was now standing by Kouga. Kagome's sapphire blue eyes glared straight into Kouga's bright blue ones, no longer holding the confidence he held moments ago.

'Kagome-chan…'

"Answer me this demon…"

"My names…"

"I don't give a flying fuck. If you're not going to call Inuyasha nor I by our names, why should I use yours?" Kouga stayed quiet. Inuyasha could help but laugh inwardly at the comment.

"Now tell me, what has Inuyasha EVER done to deserve this eh? " She paused. "Answer me demon!"

"I told you he's a fucking ha…"

"I DID NOT ask you what he is!" She shouted once again. "I asked you what has he ever fucking done!" Kouga remained silent.

"What about the rest of you huh?!" Now directing her question to the crowd of students, everyone remained silent. Kagome simply stifled a laugh and directed her attention back to the injured hanyou.

"I don't see why Inuyasha-kun being a hanyou makes him so different from everyone else." She spoke seemingly talking to herself, as she knelt back down beside Inuyasha taking his large, unharmed hand into both of hers.

"If you ask me he is better, stronger man than any of you will ever be…" she said softly earning growls from ever youkai in the audience and glares from every human.

"Not only does he have the best of both worlds, but he will never be as selfish as humans tend to be…" she then glared at Kouga again.

"And he certainly won't take on the stubborn, cocky, asshole side most demons carry. I've only known the man for a day and I can already tell I am the only one who has seen the real Inuyasha, even if only a little bit." She looked back to Inuyasha again.

"He's stronger than ANY of you will EVER be. I don't know how long this has been going on, but to have to deal with this sort of treatment day in and day out… he's one hell of a man… the strongest I've ever known." She felt Inuyasha squeeze her hand gently and a soft smile spread across her face. Kouga growled.

'Kagome-chan how…. Why do you… I don't understand you Kagome-chan… I don't deserve all this praise… I'm not…. I'm not as amazing as you making me out to be….' Inuyasha lost consciousness again.

"You little wench! You don't know what…."

"LEAVE!" Kouga stared at her in disbelief.

"What did you just say to me?"

"Are ya deaf demon?" She looked him dead in the eye again.

"I fucking told you to LEAVE! That goes for everyone! Go the fuck home! There's nothing to see here!" She shouted. Reluctantly, everyone slowly left the school grounds, back to their homes. Kouga was the last to leave, having to nearly be dragged away by his girlfriend.

'No one has ever spoken to me like that before. Especially a human women!' Kouga thought, and then smirked. 'Such fire came from that Kagome… hmm I would defiantly like to get to know her a little more…'

Kagome had felt Inuyasha's hand go limp within hers, knowing that he had lost consciousness again. Everyone has finally left, or so she thought, so she released his hand from her grip sighing sadly.

"Oh Inuyasha-kun you lost so much blood… I can't do much… but I can…" Kagome placed her hands over his chest. She closed her eyes as she began to concentrate, a blue light then appeared in her hands. She guided her hands over the injured parts of Inuyasha's body, slowly healed his marred skin.

Moments had passed and Kagome had finally done all that she could do for the poor hanyou. Resting her hands in her lap again, she slowly opened her sapphire eyes feeling slightly drained, but she continued. Sliding her bag off her shoulders, she dug around and pulled out a large white t-shirt to wrap around Inuyasha's neck and cradle his broken arm in until she got him home. She then grabbed a towel from her bag and a bottle of water. Pouring some of the water onto the towel, she proceeding to wash the blood from his face and clean out his wounds, at least until she could disinfect them properly.

'I wasn't able to do very much… I wasn't even able to bring him back to consciousness…I don't even know how I am going to be able to get him out of here.' She sat back on her heels and chucked the bloody towel into a nearby trash can. Then suddenly heard someone clear their throat and snapped her head up. A human stood in front of her now. He had short black hair that was pulled into a low pony tail. The human had deep violet eyes the held nervousness within them. He wore a loose black t-shirt with baggy, dark blue jeans and dark purple Nike sneakers.

"Who are you? And what is it that you want?" Kagome asked darkly. She was NOT in the mood to deal with anymore bullshit.

"Gomen nasai, how rude of me." The man bowed.

"My name is Miroku. Hoshino, Miroku." Miroku straightened himself out.

"What is it that you want Hoshino-sama." Kagome continued. Miroku smiled warmly, but nervously at her.

"Oh please, call me Miroku. Hoshino-sama is my father." Kagome didn't respond and Miroku signed.

"I'm not going to hurt you, nor will I harm Takahashi-san." Miroku stated. Kagome searched this man's eyes, looking for any trace that he might be lying and found none. Kagome sighed, closed her eyes and relaxed. Miroku knelt down on the other side of Inuyasha.

"You look like you need some help." Kagome looked up to Miroku.

"I do… I can't carry him all the way to my house without harming him even further." She explained and Miroku nodded. Normally Miroku would have hoisted the man over his back, but with his rib injuries there was too much of a risk, so as uncomfortable as it was, Miroku hooked an arm under Inuyasha knees and upper back, and picked him up. Kagome put her water bottle back into her bag, picking up her bag she stood up beside him.

"Arigato gozaimasu Miroku." He smiled at her.

"Come on, my car is just on the other side of the lot, that should be easier for us." Kagome nodded and followed him to his car. Kagome gasped, his car was beautiful. He drove a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse, the color was a deep purple with silver racing stripes. As Miroku placed Inuyasha in the back seat she admired the black leather seats and hi-tech stereo system imbedded in his consol. She heard Miroku laugh.

"Please, do get in Higurashi-sama." Kagome blushed lightly shaking her head gently.

"Please, call me Kagome." She smiled.

"So… Miroku?" They had sat in silence for a little while as Kagome gave Miroku the directions to her shrine.

"Hai Kagome-sama?"

"Well um… why did you…. Why did you want to help Inuyasha and I… it seems as everyone hates him…" Her gaze averted to the hanyou passed out in the back seat, she watched him with sad eyes.

"I don't hate Takahashi-san…" Miroku stated as he pulled up in front of the shine and turned off the engine. Kagome directed her attention to Miroku again.

"You don't?" Miroku shook his head.

"Then why haven't you…"

"I was afraid." Kagome gave him a confused look.

"Afraid of what exactly." Eyeing him curiously, Miroku sighed.

"It's stupid… and selfish really… I was afraid to befriend him because of everyone else…. I was afraid of what they might think of me… but mostly of what they might have done to me… I am simply a human after all." Kagome glared at him.

"I know it was foolish. I know he needed someone…. But I wasn't sure if that someone included me. I am not like most of the humans at our school Kagome-sama I can assure you that." Kagome watched his eyes as he spoke, looking for traces and lies.

'Kami I've become very protective over Inuyasha-kun fairly quickly.'

"When I saw you in class the other day… and then again today on the school grounds… Kagome-sama… I knew… I knew then and there you were the key. You can save him." They both looked back to the unconscious hanyou.

"And I had this strange feeling… the stronger urge to help the two of you…. Now I know this does include me… I just needed someone like you to help me step up." Miroku sighed turning back around in his seat and gazed out the windshield.

"I want to help him to Kagome-sama… will you… will you allow me the honor?" Kagome gazed a Miroku for a long moment then directed it back toward Inuyasha.

"I think that is for him to decide…" she responded and Miroku sighed.

"I was afraid of that." He murmured, she giggled softly. Miroku then proceeded to get out of his vehicle.

"Well let's get him inside shall we?" he asked. She smiled and nodded.

"Arigatou again Miroku-sama."

"Hai, of course Kagome."
