A/N: Yes, second chapter, I'm on a roll! Remember what Bold, Italics,

and Centered Italics means!

The first year of high school seemed to go by in a flash for him. Even though he cared not for actually waking up in the mornings, or working extra to get the festivals finished and over with. He did however enjoy his time in his homeroom. There was a girl he'd begun to like. Not that he'd tell his friends about her, well.. Miroku might like her, but he liked all girls. She wasn't someone they'd care too much to know. Her style was something different than themselves. This girl was proper.

Inuyasha blinked from his spot on the roof, looking up into the white clouds that dotted the blue expanses of the wide sky. A sound of the creaking door caught his demon ears, causing them to twitch towards the stairs that would bring his visitor up to the spot where he rested. One smell and he knew it was just Miroku. "What'dya want pervert?"

A feigned shocked gasp left said boy's mouth as he placed a hand to his chest. "Why do you always call me that, Inuyasha, I thought you knew me better. I only like to.. Comfort the girls, from time to time." A scoff from the boy on the ground had the other chuckling as he took a seat, "okay, okay. But, what're you doing up here? Something you wanna talk about man?"

That was the understatement of this new term, wasn't it? "Well, I guess. But, I don't know if I want to talk to you about it though." His tone was wispy and low as he slowly pushed himself up into a sitting position. "But, since you're here anyways.. Guess I could tell you a little.."

Kikyo had had a wonderful first year. Her grades were the best they had ever been. She'd had excellent practices in dance club, and executed perfect moves in the recitals. She'd also met someone she had begun to like. He was nothing like his appearance would make one think at first look.

Of course, he looked like a delinquent. His hair was an unusual color, he was always stressing the dress-code committee with his unique way of wearing the uniform, but he always had his homework done and always, always aced the tests. Sometimes, he'd beat her scores even! What wasn't to like about him? Of course, there had been rumors about him. He was a player, he was rude, he glared at people, he was a demon and he was a punk. A delinquent who beat up upperclassmen just for looking in his general direction, and the like. Her friends had told her many more rumors and warned her against befriending the strange boy.

Though she hadn't seen any signs of these rumors being true. In fact, she liked him, a bit. Hopefully, she could see him more this year. They seemed to have the same home room again.

"Ah. So.. What your saying is that.. You like someone, Inuyasha?" Came the stalled question. It wasn't a problem, at least Miroku didn't think it was. As long as the chick didn't keep Inuyasha from practice or his grades. Only the gods knew what Inuyasha's older brother would do to the silver haired boy if his grades slipped.. The thought had the boy shivering.

"W-well, I guess you could say so.. I mean, she was nice to me. So, I guess I could say she's definitely a possibility?" The silver haired youth sounded unsure of his own feelings, as usual. He was dense, and it would probably take a little more time for him to figure out his feelings for this girl.

With a sigh and a shake of his head, Miroku smiled to his long time friend and stood up. "Welp, I have no problem with this. You just have to make sure she doesn't interfere with practices. You're our lead singer and guitarist, remember that." Inuyasha nodded as he took Miroku's hand and stood up. "Yeah, that's right. Band first."

With the morning break passed, the second third and fourth hours of school seemed to pass by quickly. Occasionally, Inuyasha would see Kikyo. The two would smile, wave and catch up a bit before getting to the assignment given to them. Of course they were still separated from their friends in most of their classes, but it only made it easier to talk to each other.

Kikyo knew her friends would give her hell for her friendship with him. And if they caught a whiff of her possible crush on the silver-haired youth.. Oh, she didn't want to think of that. They'd probably push her away from him.

On the other hand, Inuyasha knew his friends would be okay with his crush, only if he could separate the crush time from practice time. It'd be troublesome if he couldn't concentrate on the music. Kouga would probably be the first to tell him to drop her, like a sack of potatoes. And Miroku would most likely just nod and tell him, I told you so.

It seemed to be all over the school. Kikyo and Inuyasha were seen talking and laughing, sharing a good time. It seemed whoever had seen them had gotten the wrong idea. The word around school was that he was working his whiles on her, he was going to taint her. She had been dubbed the angel of the second years, and he the hanyou-delinquent.

So when Kikyo's friends, Kagura and Yura, heard the news, it was safe to say that they were going to pull her out of the class room for a talk. Chocolate orbs looked up to deep maroon and blood red hues. Both girls crossed their arms over their uniformed bodies and looked to the slightly shorter girl. "Kikyo! I thought we told you to stay away from that boy!" Gasped Kagura, Yura nodding her head. "His hair may be pretty, but that doesn't mean he's a good boy!"

Kikyo shook her head at her friends accusations. They were believing the rumors without having known the teen boy. It was a little upsetting, but she knew they were only looking out for the girl. "But, you guys, he's not that bad. In fact, he's nothing like those rumors. Sure, he's not exactly human, but neither are you two.. I mean, he has things in common with us. He's a half demon, he has nice hair, he likes to study.." Kikyo trailed off, naming things the three girls had in common with said male.

It wasn't helping though, he friends kept their stiff postures and shook their heads. "No good, Kikyo." The two said in unison. With a sigh, she nodded and turned slightly towards the classroom when the teacher called the class to begin.

Thus began her retreat from being friendly with Inuyasha.

A/N: Yeah, yeah.. I know. Seems kinda rushed. But, it's okay, right? I mean.. No offense to the Kikyo-lovers.. But, see my name? I want to get to the Kagome part. Haha, I know, bad me. Bad! v.v Sorrrry though. Uhm, yeah.. The third chapter is up now too. I should probably get some shut eye now. RXR! Please?
