For the first time in the six months of his attendance to his first period class Inuyasha had never seen everyone so attentive. He had almost turned to leave before he was sure that it was truly the right room. Disregarding the change of attitude in his fellow students he took his usual seat beside Miroku and Sango.

Dreading the work that was surely written upon it, Inuyasha looked up towards the dry erase board at the front of the room. That was when the silence began to make since.

They had a new student that was just about to tell them about herself. " Umm… hi! My name is Higurashi, Kagome and I just moved back here…" the rest of her words were lost to the hanyou that was now staring at her mouth agape.

"Wow," he whispered. She had to be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had long black hair that was so dark that when caught in the light it was tinted a dark blue color. Her hair cascaded down her back in long soft waves stopping at her waist. Her curves were absolutely faultless.

She wasn't to tall she was probably an inch shorter than Sango, But what she lacked in height her legs made up for they were long and her lightly tanned skin seemed to glow. She had lovely full lips that were a soft pink color, and finally there were her eyes. They were the most vibrant, intense and shocking blue eyes he had ever seen.

After surveying the other students her eyes finally settled on him. 'She's no ordinary human' he observed, and though he didn't know how strong he knew without a doubt that this girl was a miko.

"That's it!" She finished sweetly, with a gentle smile. The teacher stood up beside her, once again regaining the young miko's attention.

"Well Ms. Higurashi, we are very glad to have you here with us. M y name is ms. Tsubaki and this is physical science. Now before we resume the lesson does anyone have any questions for Ms. Higurashi?" Ms. Tsubaki asked giving her students a large smile.

Gradually a young boy with sandy brown hair raised his hand. "Yeah are you single?" The classroom erupted with laughter as Kagome blushed softly and nodded her head.

"Now, now class settle down," Ms. Tsubaki implored her students.

"Well Ms. Higurashi why don't you take a seat next to Ms. Fushimori, uh Ms. Fushimori would raise your hand please?" Ms. Tsubaki requested sweetly.

Slowly a girl with long coffee brown hair and hazel eyes raised her hand. "Err… over here," she said softly. Ms. Tsubaki pointed to the empty seat next to Sango. Kagome walked over to the table and took her seat.

"Hi, my name is Sango," the hazel-eyed girl whispered.

"Sss, Sango?" Kagome stuttered in surprise. In a flash the memories all came flooding back.

Flashback

Two young girls sat on a curb, both had crystalline tears running down their flushed cheeks. "Noooo!! Kagome you can't leave! You're my best friend!!" cried the little girl with her short brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Please don't cry Sango." Kagome whispered softly as she wiped away the distraught girl's tears with her small hand. "We'll always be best friends forever." Kagome spoke between sniffles. And with that she turned and left the small girl alone. "Nooo!! Kagomeeeee!!"

End Flashback

"Kagome?" Sango questioned nudging the girl beside her gently.

"Hmm."Kagome mumbled her eyes slowly slipping back into focus.

"Sango!!" She exclaimed, as she pulled the startled girl into a hug.

"Aaagh! Kagome your crussshhing me!" Sango whimpered in between gasps.

"Oh Sango I missed you so much! You've changed a lot!" Kagome cried which was soon followed by a squeal of delight. She pulled back and allowed Sango to breath while she examined her closely.

"Kagome what in the world are you talking about we just met." Sango asked a look of confusion clouding her features.

"Don't you remember me Sango?" Kagome asked expectantly, watching as the girl checked to see if she had any broken ribs.

"We used to be best friends about six years ago," Kagome hinted.

Suddenly a look of shock crossed over the girl's face as she once again began to scrutinize Kagome. The anticipation that Kagome was feeling turned into full-blown excitement as the expression on Sango's faced changed from shock to disbelief.

Standing before in the form of a beautiful blue-eyed new student was her oldest and best friend.

In a rustle of fabric the two girls were clinging to each other and crying tears of pure happiness. The class long since forgotten by the two embracing teens stared questionably at the two girls that had just started crying for no reason. The teacher just smiled warmly as she watched the exchange between the two.

"Now that you've gotten that out of your systems do you ladies think that we could resume our lesson?" the teacher questioned a knowing smiling occupying her face.

The girls both began to blush crimson and they quickly took their seats.

"Oh yeah! Sorry Miroku!" Sango replied quickly to the questioning look upon the boy's face.

"Miroku don't you recognize Kagome?" Sango asked waiting for his reaction.

"Ka…Kagome?" Miroku looked from the blue-eyed goddess to his Sango who was beaming.

"Kagome!" he whispered in shock.

" Is that really you?" he asked cautiously.

Kagome nodded and gave him a good once-over. 'Well he isn't the wimpy boy I remember, that's for sure!' Miroku had grown into a handsome young man but that mischievous spark in his eye was still there just as it had been when they were younger.

After regaining the gift of speech he proceeded to comment on his old friend's new appearance.

"Well I must say that you've definitely…err filled out nicely Kagome-Chan" he finished while leering at her body. Sango having observed the entire scene gave the lecherous teen a hard punch.

"Keep your mind out of the gutters you lecherous imbecile," she whispered dangerously.

'Yep still the same old Sango and Miroku' she thought suppressing a giggle when the accused tried to feign a look of complete and utter hurt. He failed miserably. "Why my dear Sango you wound me," He said while holding a hand over his heart.

"Whatever you pervert," she grumbled.

"Eh hem…" a light cough startled the trio. " oh yes forgive me this is my friend Inuyasha," Miroku explained leaning back so that the two could see each other.

"Hello Inuyasha, it's nice to meet you," Kagome responded with a friendly smile, while extending her right hand. Inuyasha was suddenly struck with the idea of taking her hand and laying a light kiss on it, before he caught himself and replied, "same here," while extending his on hand.

'He's a hanyou,' she thought to herself as she took in his appearance.

Before he could help himself he looked into her eyes and got lost in the sea of electric blue.

"Umm Inuyasha do think that I could umm maybe have my hand back now?" Kagome asked a light blush staining her cheeks pink.

"Huh? Oh yeah sorry," he replied sheepishly trying to hide the blush that was now staining his face a deep red.

"So kagome when did you get back?" sango inquired having missed the exchange between kagome and Inuyasha.

"Saturday morning" kagome answered.

"Hey kagome how about after school you come hang out with us?" Miroku asked while sango and Inuyasha listened for her answer now completely ignoring the ongoing lesson.

"Sure Miroku that sounds great, but first I'd have to go home and check in if that's all right?" kagome asked while starring in confusion at sango who was quickly turning red.

"Rrrr… YOU PERVERT!!!!" sango exploded as she stood abruptly from her seat causing her chair to fly backwards as if to escape her wrath, as she slapped an innocent looking Miroku across the face with unbelievable force.

And just as abruptly as she had stood sango took her seat and faced the front of the classroom without so much as a half glance at the now unconscious Miroku that lay face down on the desk beside her.
