Di—
Kagome slapped the alarm clock onto the floor and sat up. She yawned and stretched. 'My first day at a new school, How fun' sitting up she went to look at her new uniform. It was blue and yellow and the skirt was much longer then her old one, she knew Miroku wouldn't be happy about that and thinking about it made her giggle a little. She could hear her mother calling from the down stairs.
"Kagome! Are you almost ready to go?"
"Almost. I just need to change" She had showered last night so that she wouldn't have to rush in the morning and was glad she did because she had to wake up a full hour earlier now. It wasn't that the miko wasn't a morning person, she just had to make up for when she was in feudal times. She was used to waking up at a moments notice so she didn't get much sleep. But that's the price you pay when you shatter the shikon-no-tama. She quickly got dressed and ran downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Hi mom. How long until we have to go?"
"15 minutes"
"Ok thanks I'll be ready to go" she started to eat her meal, which she finished with a lot of time to spare. "Can we leave now?"
"Let me just finish my coffee"
In the car Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter not to worry about her first day, to which Kagome giggled.
"Mom, I have slain who knows how many demons, I think I can handle a day at school, even if 'said' school has the worse rep in the city."
That caused Mrs. Higurashi to laugh too as she pulled into the parking lot. "I guess you're right, I hope you have a good day anyway." The young woman kissed her mother goodbye and got out of the car.
Looking around she saw a fight going on, but that's not what amazed her. She was awed, that not that many people cared. They just kept doing what they were doing, they were used to it. That meant that this must happen so often that the teachers barely cared, she even though that she saw one cheering them on but she just shook it off and walked into the building. The inside of the school was in surprisingly good shape though; barely any lockers were broken or written on. There were some, just not many. 'Maybe I could get used to this.'
As she finished that thought she heard a girl that sounded about her age yell "Yusuke Urameshi! Get back here!"
'What was that?' as if to answer her thought Kayko walked over to her and stopped.
"Which way did he go?"
"Which way did who go?"
"Are you new?" Kagome nodded.
"Oh, you are Kagome Higurashi, right?" again Kagome nodded.
"Oh, I am Kayko. I was told by Mr. Takanaka to show you around school."
"What about that Urameshi person?"
"Oh, him. Don't worry about it. He is a friend of mine. I was just trying to stop him from cutting class again but he never listens."
Kagome giggled, "Sounds like it's hard"
"Yea but if I don't bug him about it her won't ever show up" Kayko and Kagome both laughed for a little while then Kayko looked at her watch. "Oh we talked too long. Class will start any-"

"Minute. Ok let me see your schedule. I will take you to your advisory."
Kagome dug threw her oversized book bag and found a piece of paper that she handed to Kayko.
"Oh, you have Mr. Takanaka. That means we are in the same homeroom. He is one of the nicest teachers in the school."
"Really? That's good."
"Yea. We should hurry to class though or we will be marked late and get a detention."
Both girls entered class as Mr. Takanaka started to take attendance.
"Class we have a new student joining us today her name is Kagome Higurashi."Some of the boy's whistled causing Kagome to blush. "You can pick your set Miss Higurashi." She chose an open set next to Kayko, put her stuff down and began to look at her schedule.
"Where is room 418?"
"Oh you have Mr. Iwamoto for math?"
"Yea. He is my first class"
"Ok, he is a good teacher but he is very strict. He won't care if you are new, if you are 30 seconds late you will get a weeks detentions."
A girl walked over to Kagome and Kayko when she heard whom they were talking about. "I heard he once tried to get a kid expelled for being at the nurse during his class."
Another girl came over "wasn't that kid Yusuke Urameshi?"
Kayko cleared her throat ant told her new miko friend where Mr. Iwamoto's class was.
The bell rung so Kagome and Kayko gathered there books and left the room. Kayko went left and Kagome followed her directions and went straight. Kagome kept walking until she got to a door that read "Iwamoto" she sighed, adjusted her skirt and opened the door; however at that moment a young man with long red head was exiting the room (guess who) and bumped in to her knocking her down.
"I am sorry, are you ok?" He reached a hand out to help her up.
"Yea, no harm done" she grabbed his hand and stood up
"Once again I am so sorry Miss-" The red head paused, he had never seen this girl before but he knew all the girls in this schools names. Who was she?
"Higurashi"
"What?"
"My name, it is Kagome Higurashi. What is yours?"
"Shuuichi Minamino (the spell check wanted to change this to Squishy, lol!). Pleased to meet you" He bowed.
The miko also bowed "nice to meet you too" the bell rang so they shuck hand and went to there own classes. The miko felt something about this boy was strange but ignored it and sat down in the first row and took out her notebook. The class began to come in. Soon the teacher stood up and went to close the door; however a tall, rather stupid looking, redhead was coming in. Mr. Iwamoto simply went to his desk and got a piece of paper, which he handed to the boy.
"A detention for being tardy Mr. Kuwabara (thank you to those who helped me with the name problem!)"
"What! The bell only rang a second ago"
"Then you should have been seated a second ago" Kuwabara muttered something under his breath then walked over and took the open seat 2 behind Kagome.
Mr. Iwamoto began to talk to the students "take out your textbooks and read pages 853-857. When you finish that do the work on page 861."
Kagome stood up and walked over to his desk to get a textbook. "Um excuse me. I need a book."
"You must be the new girl I was told about. Your book is over there; however I would just like to let you know that if you miss as much school as you did at the other school you will be expected to make up all your work plus anything else I feel you need to do."
She nodded, grabbed her book and returned to her seat to work on the class work. 'Algebra. I hate algebra.' She looked at the paper and started to work on page 861 until class ended.
The rest of her day was uneventful; her free period was different from Kayko's so she had no one to sit with for lunch and sat at an empty table. At least it was until 3 boys sat down at it right before she did. She knew 2 of them were Shuuichi Minamino and Kuwabara but had no clue who the other boy was. Shuuichi Minamino noticed that she had been about to sit down.
"Miss Higurashi, feel free to join us. We have more then enough room for you"
"No that's ok Mr. Minamino. I'll find somewhere else to sit"
"No it's the least I could do for knocking you down earlier' Kagome smiled and sat down on the same side as Kurama but as far from him as she could manage without falling off the bench.
"Thank you"
"Hey Kurama is this your girlfriend?" Yusuke joked causing Kagome to be confused.
"Who is Kurama?" Kagome asked
"Me. It is my nickname" Kurama answered, but this caused Kagome to blush.
Changing the subject she quickly asked, "What are your names? Mine is Kagome Higurashi"
"I'm Yusuke and the bozo checking you out is Kazuma Kuwabara" this caused Kagome to blush like crazy and look at Kuwabara, who was indeed checking her out.
The girl smiled sweetly and began to talk very kindly "Excuse me Mr. Kuwabara"
The idiot smiled and stupidly said, "Yes?"
Kagome's smile faded away and she yelled, "stare at your own chest!"
Kuwabara anime fell backwards and Yusuke cracked up "but his isn't nearly as nice as yours" that little statement earned him a slap from the very embarrassed miko who's face was redder the Kurama's hair at the moment. Speaking of Kurama he was laughing at his 2 human friends misfortune.
"Wow, you slap hard for a girl, especially a cute one"
"Hey! Wait aren't you Kayko's boyfriend?"
"Wha... no... we are just friends...wait how do you know Kayko?"
"She is in my homeroom, she showed me around the school"
"Oh you are that new girl huh?" Kuwabara stated
"Well yes. That reminds me do any of you know where Mr. Kaindo's (I made this name up) room is?"
Kurama looked up and nodded "He is my next class."
"Mine too. Mr. Kaindo for ancient history of feudal Japan" Kagome smiled 'I'll be able to pass this class with ease' she thought but at that moment the bell rang.
"I'll walk you to his room" the kind red head told her
"Thank you Mr. Minamino"
"You can call me Kurama. We aren't that formal here"
"Thank you Mr...Kurama. And you can call me Kagome. Good bye Kazuma and Yusuke"
"Catch ya later" said the boy with a handprint on his face. Kuwabara however was still checking her out.
Kagome and Kurama walked to Mr. Kaindo's class they talked a little.
"What school did you go to before you moved?" asked Kurama.
"I didn't move. I only transferred schools."
"Why did you switch?" Kagome paused after being asked that question not knowing how to answer that question. If she said she'd been sick it would make her seem kind of strange and maybe gross, but if she said she had been going to the past to kill demons it would make her seem crazy.
Luckily Kurama noticed she was hesitating and said, "If you don't want to answer it's ok. I shouldn't have asked such a personal question"
"No it's ok, I just don't know how to answer"
"Oh. Well what school did you go to?"
"Haniku High"
"Oh, I know that school. It's much better then this one. One of the top in the city"
"Yea, but this one isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be"
"Yes." He stopped in front of a door. "This is the room." With that they both walked in to the class. Kagome noticed some girls seemed upset at seeing the 2 of them together. She walked over and took a seat next to the window in the front row. Kurama sat in the same row but back 4 seats. A few girls walked over to her and began to talk with the miko.
"Are you and Minamino an item?" asked a girl with wavy brown hair
Kagome blushed "what! Shuuichi and me? No way." "Besides I am not available." Kagome knew this wasn't true 'talk about wishful thinking on my part. Oh Inuyasha would die if he heard me'
"Ok that's good to hear by the way what's your name?" responded a tall girl with straight black hair.
"Kagome Higurashi. What are your names?"
"I am Yumi" said the one with wavy hair. She began pointing to and introducing all the other girls. "this is Miki, Haru and Akina" they all bowed as did Kagome. Akina was the one with the black hair but Miki also had black hair. Haru had dark brown hair with dark red highlights. Just then a man walked in to the room and everyone quieted down. Kagome recognized this man as her homeroom teacher, Mr. Takanaka. He began to talk to the students.
"Hello. Mr. Kaindo is sick today and we couldn't get a sub so you have a free period. I will be watching you though." He then took a seat at the big desk. Kagome walked up to him.
"Hello Mr. Takanaka. Do you know where I can get a textbook?"
"Ah yes, Miss Higurashi. They are right over here." He then walked Kagome over to a bookshelf and handed her a somewhat large textbook.
She bowed "thank you very much" and walked back to her seat. She used the class to work on her homework and she also talked a little with Yumi, Miki, Haru and Akina. She learned that they were all in Kurama's fan club. At the end of class she walked over to Kurama's desk.
"Those girl seem to like you a lot Shuuichi"
"Yes, but it can become a little irritating at times"
Kagome giggled, "I guess it would be. But they jump to conclusions easily" she blushed. "I mean just because you walked me to class they thought we were going out"
"Yes, I heard you 5 talking. Apparently you are unavailable" this caused Kagome to blush like crazy.
"Yea...well...sorta...um...Inu..." Kagome felt so stupid 'god! Why am I stuttering? I mean sure he's cute but I the last thing I need is another guy to make Inuyasha jealous. God I am acting so like Eri right now!' She shifted her weigth from foot to foot then finally said "um...class should be starting soon so um...bye" with that she walked/ran out the door. Kurama simply walked to the door and asked if she needed to know where her next class was.
"Oh yea. Do you know where Mrs Hariku's room is?"
"2 doors down on the left."
"Thanks" she walked to her class and kurama walked to his.
