New Beginning, New Friend

Kagome walked down the street to her new school.

She should have known better than to try and hide something from her family her mother had none right away that she was holing something back and after almost an hour of gentle words and pleas Kagome told them the story of everything that had happened over the two weeks she had been gone. Every small detail and emotion was let loose. Her mother had held her as she cried while her grandpa and Sota could only look at her with saddened expressions.

Her mother had called and had her transferred so that she could have a healthy change away from friends that had met Inu Yasha and would ask hurtful and awkward questions. That was a week ago and today was the first day of school.

Her new school was Seiyoko High and it was one of the best in all of Japan. Her good grades thanks to Sesshomaru had gotten her in even with her rotten attendance record so she could enjoy her senior year of High School and have a great chance of getting into an even better college.

When she arrived she looked at her watch and realized that she was forty-five minutes early. She went to a stand that was being set up help for a few minutes before they gave her, her schedule and bid her good day as she started exploring her school so that she would have and easy time finding her way around.

6th periodSelf Defense

7th periodPsychology

This year was going to be hard, but she wanted it to be that way. She had no idea what she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing, and she knew that these classes would prepare her for whatever came her way. Kagome was young and had learned the hard way as it what could happen if one were ever unprepared. After walking around and becoming familiar with the school she started to realize that more and more people were walking around. She actually found that out when she turned a corner and bumped into some one.

"I'm sorry." She said as she reached down and picked up her schedule. Did you feel a demonic aura or was she just being paranoid.

"No need, it was entirely my fault." A male voice reached her ears and made her tense slightly. She stood up and so did the guy she had bumped into.

"Let's just say that we are both in fault." Kagome said as she quickly examined the man in front of her, he was at least six feet tall maybe one hundred fifty five pounds, he sharp green eyes and red hair. Kagome could swear that the demonic aura was coming from him but she just couldn't be sure.

"Sounds like a plan; by the way my name is Shuichi Minamino. Are you new her Miss.?" He had a slight smile on his face as he introduced himself.

"Yes I am, and my name is Kagome Higurashi. It's very nice to meet you Shuichi." Kagome said as she tried to identify the weird feeling that came off this guy she couldn't tell if he was giving of a demonic aura or what, and not knowing was slowly driving her nuts. From what she had learned in the old scrolls at the shrine demons had been sent to a new world that was created and were kept separate by a strong barrier.

"Can I see you schedule Kagome maybe we have some classes together." He asked nicely. He at least wasn't acting as if he were some crazy blood thirsty demon. She thought as she handed him her schedule.

Kurama POV (I am going to start going by POV only)

I was shocked at first when I bumped into somebody but that shock soon disappeared as I gazed at the beautiful girl in front of me. She had these beautiful brown eyes that shown with all sorts of different emotions, her hair was long going down to the middle of her back and it was a raven black that almost had a blue tint to it in the light. She was maybe five feet two inches tall, but she looked like she had a gentle and yet deadly strength. Her skin was pale and made her resemble a goddess in the moonlight.

I took her schedule and started looking through it. A smile came to my face yet again it would appear that we had all the same classes together and I was very happy with that.

"Well Kagome it would seem that we have all the same classes, would you allow me to walk you to class it should be starting in eight minutes." I tried to sound as polite as I could, hoping to impress upon that I could be an easy friend. Hoping that she would enjoy my company.

"I guess that would be alright." She said with that sweet voice of hers. I didn't like the way in which she sounded hesitant, she seemed nervous. I was puzzled to what could cause her to be so hesitant to me, unless she could feel Yoko in me. 'Better not to mention is name I don't want him to wake up and start bothering me on my first day of school.' Life could be frustrating when he was awake and alert.

The school day went by quickly, I was able to talk to Kagome more and find out a little more about her but she was so tight lipped that it proved rather difficult. She lived at a shrine, Sunset Shrine to be more precise. She had didn't know what she wanted to do with her life, but she wanted to help her grandfather run the shrine and help people. She proved to be incredibly smart too, in our advanced Calculus class she was able to answer every question thrown at her easily and correctly in just a few minutes without a calculator.

I asked her if she would be willing to be my friend and she said of course. We parted ways as she started her walk across town, I had offered to walk her but she lived on the opposite side of town and didn't think it would be very wise.

I had to agree but I had finally found out what was so appealing about her. It was her aura it was calm, peaceful and felt completely pure. So pure that it was as if nothing would ever have the power to taint it in any way possible.

Tomorrow would fair out better for I had talked her in to going to a close by park with me after school. We would be able to talk away from all class mates, I could find out if she new about demons and spirit energy or if she was just powerful and unaware of that power. I was hoping that she was unaware for it wouldn't be right for such a nice person such as herself to be mixed up with demons yet at the same time I hoped that she was aware so that I wouldn't have to hide anything from her and it could be nice to have some one to talk to other than Yusuke, Hiei or Kuwabara.

Yes tomorrow would be a much better day for finding out about Kagome than today.
