The Dark Prince

Chapter One: New School

Kagome's little pink bug purred down the highway. She was headed for Newfork, a big town in Washington that housed her new private school. She adjusted her bright yellow tank top that had a red duck on the shoulder. Her short skirt was denim and coupled with yellow flip flops. She had the car convertible so her hair was in a cute messy bun with her bangs escaping the ponytail holder.

Her head bobbed to the music of Inuyasha that she downloaded from her computer to her ipod. She was obsessed with this guy's music. The same guy on You Tube, that she discovered over two years ago. She sung along to his lyrics as she let the wind whip her contained hair. Before she missed it, Kagome saw her sign. Newfork exit, one mile. She turned on her turn signal as she exited the highway and onto the ramp.

She drove off the exit ramp and entered the town. At a red traffic light she stopped. A black truck pulled up beside her in the next lane over. "Hey Baby," she heard the yell from the truck. Kagome looked over, violet eyes wide. In the truck she saw four guys, all in complete black. Must be gothic, she thought. They were cute, but she looked away anyway.

"Oh, come on, baby. You got more color than we've seen in a long time," one of them said. The other guys laughed at this joke. Kagome felt her face heat up, and she knew they were making fun of her.

Another one took on this cheerful face and said, "Oh my God, let's go shopping." The Goth Guys laughed again seeming to enjoy making fun of her, but then the light turned green. Kagome wasted no time and floored it, the front end coming up because she hit the gas so fast. She could still hear their laughter as she sped off.

She snorted her disgust, glad to leave those guys eating her dust as she drove through the rest of town. Hopefully, there won't be anymore assholes like that at this school, she thought hopefully. Kagome took a left and started driving right into campus. The school itself was gray brick with three buildings of all the same size and all on a small hill. The middle building was for classes one, two, and three. The right building was for classes four, five, and six. The one on the left was for classes seven, eight, and nine. Acrossed the street she saw the dorms. These buildings had three floors as well.

Kagome knew her dorm room was going to be huge. She also knew that her parents paid a lot to send her to this school and paid a lot for her to have the room she did. Twisting the little bug, Kagome parked in the parking lot in front of a dorm with the number two on it. She was under a street light, so that gave her more light, as it was ten at night. With the glow from the street light above she dragged her bags out of the back of her bug and put them on the ground. She then closed the car door and locked it.

Kagome looked at the piece of paper with her information on it and dragged her several bags into the building. Going through the main lobby she looked at the numbers on the doors trying to locate hers. Not having any luck on the first floor she when to the second on the elevator. Thank God, for elevators, she thought. But there was no luck with the second floor, so the third was her floor.

Finally, at the end of the hall she stopped in front her room. She looked at the number on it and chuckled. Sixty-nine was her room number. She put the key in the lock and opened the plain door. Her eyes widened as she took in the room. Descending the two steps needed to enter, she wasn't aware that her mouth was slightly open. In front of her was the living area and to her right was a door that was open and went into a bathroom.

She walked forward and on her left was a computer room. The small room had gray tiles with the computer stand and computer against the opposite wall. She saw a plain oak wood door in the computer room. It was odd, she thought, to have two doors into a computer room. She dared to open the door and saw darkness when she did. Kagome felt for a light switch and, upon finding it, saw that it was empty room. The carpet was thick, soft, and black, and there was one window looking out at the city.

There was an empty bed on the opposite wall and a desk on the wall next to the window, but other than that the room was bare. She smiled with her excitement and turned back to the living area to get her bags. But entering the computer room again she saw an oak wood door stained black. It was probably her roommate. She must be gothic too, Kagome thought with disappointment. There were small spikes on the door knob even.

A few minutes later, once she had put her luggage in the room, she figured it'd be a good time to check out the computer. She needed some down time before she went to bed. Once logged on the computer, Kagome couldn't resist on of her favorite songs and started playing White Kids Love Hip Hop. Once the song started going, Kagome couldn't resist getting up and dancing to the beat. She danced and sung along with the music like her and her friends used to.

When she turned around in her little dance that she was doing, she saw her roommate. But it wasn't a girl. It was a guy, and not just any guy. Inuyasha, the singer, leaning lazily against the door frame. She stopped and gaped, quietly whispering his name. He was wearing a tight black shirt that squeezed his luscious chest and black pants that had chains dangling from the waist to his knees. His eyes were still gold, his hair was still sliver streaked with black, but he was taller in real life than on You Tube.

The man must have been six foot five and was it her or was he wearing eyeliner? Either way standing there, he was looking hot while she was barefoot, hadn't fixed her hair all day or her make up for that matter and wearing a cute yellow top in front of the Prince of Darkness. She sucked in a breath. Make that the hot Prince of Darkness. Oh and she was singing and dancing in front of him unknowingly.

"What the fuck, prep? Bitch, get off my computer," he said, looking agitated. She glared at him, feeling earlier anger it her.

"Hey, asshole," she piped up, " you could be a little nicer, you know." She jabber her finger in his direction. "We have to live together."

He got off the door frame, still looking pissed off at her. Before she got insulted anymore she stomped out but grudgingly saying, "I'm sorry for getting on your computer." Then she walked to her room her wild hair swishing at her back.

Shaking his head, Inuyasha got on his computer. He went online for his messengers and started to tell the new roommate that he had to share a dorm with. He kept talking until his back was starting to need stretching. He logged off and got up and strutted to the living area. He looked at the night outside and turned to the clock. It read 11:00 pm. He just sighed and turned around to look at the couch where the TV was on. Hmm, he hadn't noticed. But he froze at the sight of his roommate on the couch.

She was the cutest thing he had ever seen. She leaned over toward the TV with her short pink pajama bottoms and tight pink tank with spaghetti straps. Her black hair seemed to halo her head in a way that made him want to lick his lips. Idiot, she's a fucking prep. Stupid bitch, he thought, she's ugly.

Out of nowhere she started yelling at the TV. "You go girl. Hit that rat bastard," she cheered to the TV screen. His silver, but black-tipped, dog ears twitched toward her. She was watching Maury he realized. This girl just kept getting weirder and weirder. He popped down on the couch with her but put as much space between him and her as he possibly could. She, just realizing he was in the was in room, looked over surprised.

He grabbed the TV controller roughly, his black rimmed eyes, from eyeliner, glaring over at her. "You watch this shit?" he asked, incredulously putting one arm on the back of the couch.

Kagome bit her slightly pink lip nervously. She wasn't exactly sure what she should say. He sighed and raised the controller. He seemed to unwind as he looked to see what was next on the channel. She grinned, seeing Maury on after this episode. To her surprise he chuckled, "I love watching these losers," he grinned, his sharp canines sticking out.

She laughed. "Me too." Then the next couple came on screen, a plain looking man and flashy woman were seating next to Maury. Kagome rolled her eyes, "He's not hot enough. The girls are always better," she complained.

Inuyasha checked out the girl. "Man, that girl's hot," he observed. Kagome snorted.

"Of course," she put in, " The one with the biggest boobs and she's the biggest bitch."

He shook his head. "You're so negative."

"No," her face brightening, "I know the people are a lot nicer in real life."

Inuyasha watched her star at the TV. Inwardly he groaned. Sure, he knew she had such a bright innocent personality, but he was getting attracted to her, already. And being attracted to her was something he couldn't afford, especially since this was his roommate. A roommate that was a girl. She probably paid the school off to stay in an all boys dorm.

She yawned and stretched, then got up from the couch. She turned back and looked at him. "I'm going to sleep, goodnight. You know, you're pretty cool for having a black soul," she smiled, showing she was joking.

He gave her a toothy grin. "And you're pretty cool for being an annoying rainbow." Kagome turned and walked through the computer room with a smile on her face. She stepped into her room and looked at it. Most of it was bare, she sighed knowing she should have set up the room earlier. She shut the door and got to work, putting away clothes, setting up her desk, making the bed, and turning this room into a place she could live in for the next year.

When she was finally done the colors pink and black were superior. Her bed was a light pink and black, the blanket being black with pink roses and vines crawling over the spread. However the walls were plain and she figured she'd just paint them, dorm rules be damned. Pretty pink and light mint green pillows spilled on the floor from where she shoved the off the bed. She picked them up and put the on the black and pink bed.

Even though she played with the room and made it her own she wondered to the window and looked over the city. The playfulness she felt with Inuyasha had gone, some time ago and now she was left with doubts. Kagome stopped short of running into the window.

What if I'm alone and never make a friend here, she thought crossing her arms over her chest. She always had good friends but now her own roommate, though very hot, was gothic. And gothics usually hated her on principal. Would he ignore her the next morning and pretend he didn't like her? She shook off the thought and decided not to worry about it.

Everyone was nervous on the first day and maybe not all the students here were goth, though she had seen nothing but Goths since she arrived here. Kagome laid on her bed after changing into pajamas. Okay, Kagome, just don't worry about it, she prepped herself. And while cuddling up in the sheets, she fell asleep.

Her alarm clock rang bright and early at 8:00 am. She shot off the bed quickly and shut it off. Kagome got off the bed, stretched and walked over to the mirror she set up last night that had a golden border around it. Slapping her cheeks, she tried to wake up. On the vanity she grabbed her make up and not wanting to go to the bathroom, applied it in her room. She started with blue eye shadow that popped out her eyes, coupled with eyeliner and mascara.

In the closet, she took hold of a lacey yellow spaghetti strapped tank and blue American Eagle sweat shirt. She coupled that with light blue jeans, pink belt, and Nikes. She gripped her brush and quickly put her hair in a messy bun. Within seconds her bangs fell free and hung down, but she didn't mind.

She came out in a rush, hoping she wasn't late even though she was sure she was. She grabbed her pink and white book bag before she ran out of her room but was immediately stopped by slamming into a very hard chest. She lost her balance and almost fell back on her ass but her roommate brought his arms around her and steadied her.

"Relax," he said, "It's a two hour delay for Freshman orientation."

She tilted her head to look up at him. "Oh," was all she could think to say. She must have looked so stupid. To cover her embarrassment she flitted to the couch and in the living area and turned on the TV. Fresh Prince of BelAir blasted through the speakers and you could hear the audience laugh at a joke Will Smith just said.

Inuyasha ignored the TV and pulled his cell phone from his pocket in his snug fitting black jeans. The phone, like most of what he wore, was black and had a sliver spider web decorated on it. Inuyasha flipped it open and started talking rapidly to someone on it. Kagome glanced over, then back to the TV, then back to him again.

She was taking in his appearance. He had on a black shirt, go figure, but this one had a white skull dancing acrossed his chest. A chest that was very well muscled from what she had felt earlier. The black jeans fit him perfectly, loose around the calves but tighter around the thighs. It made Kagome squirm a little bit. The chains were in place again, on the side of his jeans, but that only added to his appeal. There was also a dog chain around his neck that gave him more masculinity than it took away. His eyeliner was again in place and long streaked hair in a loose braid.

Kagome's mouth had suddenly gone dry and decided it'd be more healthy to listen to what he was saying rather than check him, and his goods, out. She looked up at his face and ignored the beauty of it to understand what he was talking about. But he wasn't talking to her, he was talking into his phone.

"No baby," Inuyasha sighed. There was a pause. "Yep, it ain't a big deal," he said slightly exasperated. After another pause he hung up, without saying goodbye. Inuyasha ignored her questioning gaze and looked at the TV. When he spoke next he still kept his eyes glued to Will Smith slapping Carlson on the back.

"What's your name, since you obviously know mine," he muttered to her. Kagome blinked once before she responded.

"Kagome," she replied. "And I only knew you off of You Tube," she added, figuring it best to point it out now.

"Kagome, huh?" he muttered. She felt a tingle when he said her name. "Doesn't that mean kind, loving soul or something?" he continued.

A pink blush dusted her face and he fought a smile that wanted to appear at her cuteness. He tamped down the feeling with aggravation. This was no time to be checking out cute innocent little girls. He'd do better if he kept his clawed hands to himself.

"Yeah," she said, her voice slightly higher than normal. He grunted and sat down on the couch next to her, though not touching her.

They continued to watch Will Smith and his dysfunctional family for a few more episodes. Though they were all re-runs Inuyasha and Kagome laughed at the jokes made by Will Smith and the situations he got himself into by doing something stupid. Too soon it was time to go, their two hour delay coming to and end.

She jumped up and put her pink and white backpack over her shoulder and they rushed out the door together. They were smiling as they ran down the stairs, all most like it was a race.

"What's your two favorite colors?" she asked breathless going down step after step. He was in a good mood and didn't think, as he would have in any other situation, that it was a stupid question.

"Black and red," he replied. She smiled.

"Pink, red, and green," she told him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Should have known."

They came out the side door and ended up on the outside of the building. He pointed toward the three gray building. "There's the school," he told her putting his hand down. Kagome lost all the energy she had running down the stairs with Inuyasha as nervousness took over her prime emotion. He almost offered to help her around, but saw his friends and girlfriend approach.

Kagome stiffened at the people drawing nearer to her and Inuyasha. They were all goth, she noticed. Every single one of them and there had to be at least six of them. She didn't know if she could handle six of them, they looked pretty fierce.

A dark haired girl with bright red streaks in her hair glared down at her. And being only five foot three she couldn't do anything except look up, which she hated and was starting to resent. This girl had brown eyes and a nice figure with hair in little buns at the top of her head. That girl came first and the other five followed. Kagome suddenly felt the urge to flee.

However, never being one to back down, she lifted her head and refused to be intimidated. Then with a high head walked toward the school by herself. The girl that had approached first called out to her.

"What, prep? You think you're better than us?" she challenged. Kagome turned her head around, and decided it'd be better not to rise to the bait. This girl was just jealous that she had been with Inuyasha, the insecure type of girlfriend that Kagome never cared for.

"No," she said softly. Then turned her head back around and ignored the group. The girl latched onto Inuyasha's arm, much to his disgust. Her fake, red nails dug into his arm.

The girl glared at Kagome's cool demeanor and shouted, "You're dismissed, ugly bitch." Though there really was no point or need. Kagome walked away, trying to put the hurt in the far recesses of her mind and not think about it. But as she walked away, she heard Inuyasha.

"Leave her alone," he growled, temper rising to dangerous levels so early in the day. The girl blinked and held onto the arm she had tighter. Any tighter and she was going to cut off circulation.

"Why, baby?" she cooed. Inuyasha, not in the mood, wanted to cringe at the sound of her voice.

"Because," he grumbled, face tight as he watched Kagome cross the street to the school. Kagome heard no more, but the hurt feeling lifted slightly as she heard him.

Kagome slid in the doors to the main office and got her schedule. She politely refused the school escort to have her shown around, but did notice that most of student body was goth or punk. Kagome felt a sinking feeling, she wasn't in her first class and already didn't like the way things were going.

Kagome wandered through the white brick halls, side stepping and trying not to run into the people in the hallway. She looked at the white piece of paper and saw math as her first subject of the day. The day was just getting worse and worse as she looked up from the paper.

"Ugh," she grumbled to herself. She hated math and she wasn't that good at it. The bell rang and all the students at once seemed to disappear in their classes. Suddenly she found herself alone in the middle of the hallway. With a dumbstruck expression she looked around.

"Shit," she said and ran through the hall until she came upon her first period class. She slammed open the door, a little out of breath as the room looked at her. Instantly she stood up straight and held her head high at the majority of black-wearer's in the room. The teacher stared at her, wondering who was busting into his class on the first day of school.

"Oh, right," he remembered. He addressed the class, "This is Kagome Higurashi. A transfer student from Minnesota." The class remained silent as they looked at her. Some glared and she heard whispers along the lines of "not another prep" being said. Kagome thought there was something wrong with this school, but she slipped in the class and sat in the back. There was another girl, dressed similar to her and not wearing black, that was in the back as well.

She felt some glares at her back, but shook them off. She couldn't stand this school already and thought of this year and next year that she'd endure until graduation. This was for her education, not for the fact that the town had some great restaurants and a awesome department stores. The blonde girl next to her looked over and introduced herself.

"Hey, I'm Megan," she whispered brightly so the teacher didn't notice. "And you are?"

"Kagome," she replied, a slight smile of hope. Soon they had struck up a good back and forth conversation. Megan telling her what was new, hot, and cool. The conversation soon took a turn to the school and it's weird student body.

Meg sighed, "Stupid Goths think that life is so hellish and stupid shit like that. It makes no sense." The blonde girl shook her head.

Kagome sighed too and when the bell rang both her and Meg split up. That is until she saw the blonde girl again in her sixth period lunch. From first period to sixth Kagome had made five friends, none of them goth as no goth would talk to her. And of those five friends, they all had the same lunch together. Kagome gratefully sat with them and chatted happily.

The tables in the lunch room where circular and the girls she was friends with sat in a corner. Her stomach growled and Kagome sighed. She had lunch money but didn't want to go up the line alone. Said line looked something similar to blood at night, being that the dominate color was black.

"Anyone want to go to the line with me?" she asked hesitantly. Meg nodded and followed her up, though she didn't need to as Meg had packed her lunch. As they waited in line Meg took in Kagome's shirt for the first time.

"Love your shirt," she commented. Kagome smiled brilliantly.

"Thanks, I like your's too with the ducks," she replied. Meg's green eyes brightened at the compliment. As they waited, Kagome and Meg looked around the cafeteria. A sea of black it what they saw. There were a few who didn't have, what seemed to be the school color, black on. And some weren't all black as there were flashes of red and white, and the occasional electric blue.

The one that weren't gothic seemed to be picked on a lot, Kagome had noticed. She suddenly dreaded her next period gym class. Gym always had teams and she knew she was not with the "in" crowd in this school. My God, I'm going to have a problem in this school, Kagome thought. It's not that she hated Goths, she had friends who indeed favored the darker look and hated wearing pink, yellow, and orange. However it was this school. Every goth in this school seemed to hate her guts just because she wore a yellow tank top.

Suddenly losing her appetite, Kagome just bought a salad and hoped to God that she could keep it down. With everything she had been called today, it's a wonder why she didn't snap. When she finished, she looked down at her shirt to make sure she didn't get salad dressing on it or any other food on it.

A redheaded, brown-eyed girl joined the table, setting down a tray. She sat on Meg's left and looked to Kagome. The girl smiled and nodded to her.

"Hey," she greeted, "I'm Jasmine."

"Kagome," she responded, putting down her fork. Jasmine didn't have the perfect figure and was a little plump, but she knew how to dress her body and wasn't afraid to do so.

"Let me see your schedule, Kagome," Jasmine said. Said girl handed her the white paper and watched Jasmine's brown eyes skim the paper and brighten.

"Oh my God," she said handing Kagome back her schedule, "We have gym together."

Kagome let out a sigh of relief and then giggled. "Thank God, I thought I'd have it by myself," she told her new friend. There was one girl that had short, spiky hair and dark blue eyes. Those eyes looked over the lunch room nervously.

"What's wrong, Kelly?" Kagome asked. She had learned the girl's name earlier.

"I heard a group of Goths were going to beat me up," Kelly said nervously. Kagome's jaw went slack.

"No way they're that bad," she reasoned. This was getting insane and it was only the first day of school. What's wrong with this place? Kagome heard Meg sigh dreamily and looked over at her first friend. Noticing she was looking somewhere else, Kagome followed her gaze and it landed right on Inuyasha. She saw his eyes flash as he looked at her.

He was standing in the line with his dare, pierced friends. She looked him up and down and came to one conclusion: he was tense. Very tense. Meg sighed again, too dreamily than should be allowed.

"He's so hot," she said. Everyone except for Kagome rolled their eyes. Jasmine looked over at him with a blunt glare on her pretty face.

"You're never going to get him," she snapped, "he thinks we're beneath him or something. He's such a jerk." She looked away from Inuyasha and examined her painted nails.

"Ugh, I hate his fucking girlfriend," Meg complained. Kagome just saw said girlfriend latch onto Inuyasha's arm, again.

"I know," Jasmine agreed her full cheeks red, "She thinks she owns the school and isn't even the prettiest goth here."

"She's a whore," Kelly said softly, trying not to be heard by surrounding Goths and just her friends. Kagome, though she remembered the girl from this morning, kept her trap shut. This school was bad enough, she didn't need to make it worse.

The bell rang and the girls all exchanged "love ya's". Kagome, feeling more in her element said it too, it was what her and her old friends used to say to each other. Then she watched people flood the cafeteria trying to get out and to their next class.

Jasmine and Kagome took a short cut that cut through the school yard. While walking outside to the far end where the football field was Kagome and Jasmine chatted. Not about anything in particular, just odds and ends. They chatted all the way up to entering the locker room, where Goth girls were glaring at them in various stages of dress. Jasmine and Kagome stuck close, not wanting to get on anyone's bad side, and held their heads high. Kagome tried to put off a confident air around her.

She pulled her gym clothes out of her book bag and set it down on the bench beside Jasmine's. She changed into a pink t-shirt and loose black athletic shorts. Kagome heard comments around them but ignored it, just as Jasmine ignored it, too. When Kagome finished changing, her and Jasmine prepared to leave, but before Kagome could get out the door she felt eyes on her back. She turned her head to see Inuyasha's girlfriend's best friend.

Kagome turned away and walked out the door to join Jasmine. They walked through the hallway and into the gym to stand on the wall. After all the girls had assembled, the bald gym teacher took attendance and explained what they would be doing today.

"Listen up, girls," he said. The gym grew quiet. "You'll be playing Dodge ball with the boy's class."

Oh, no, Kagome thought, They're going to throttle us with balls! Please don't let me and Jasmine get separated.

"Come on, girls," the teacher pointed toward the middle of the gym that sported wooden floors. Kagome shivered, hoping she'd live through this. They walked to the middle of the gym where the guys already were. Most of the guys, Kagome noticed, were cute. Cute, but Goth. But her eyes immediately found Inuyasha. His black and sliver loose braid had gotten even looser with the day's progress and some hair slipped out. His bangs and those escaped pieces of hair framing his fierce face.

Some girls were obviously checking him out and Kagome couldn't help but cringe at the look on their faces. Even if he did look damn fine in a tight muscle shirt that squeezed his abdominals and show cased his bulge of biceps and the black shorts that were loose around his legs didn't mean that the girls had to look at him with sex on the brain.

After the team captains had lined up the players, people where being chosen. Inuyasha, a team captain, looked over the people and his golden gaze fell on her. He offered her a sly grin and motioned her forward with a finger. Kagome, in shock, moved slowly, but kept her head low, almost like she was shy. He chuckled, a sound that made her skin hum.

When everyone had a team, Jasmine on the opposite team, hell began. At first she wasn't noticed and stood in the back, but at more and more of her teammate got out, she became more of a target. However, every ball they threw her way, she dodged. She then was forced to defend herself and threw a few balls, getting the team captain out, which seemed to piss off the other team.

Then they went after her with what seemed to her to be hatred. She was eventually hit, hard, and was taken out of the game. A few minutes later Jasmine's team lost thanks Inuyasha getting them out. But Kagome knew that they weren't just playing a game, they wanted to hurt her. And Inuyasha's girlfriend's best friend just wanted to show off.

Another round of dodge ball started. A few minutes into the game a guy from Jasmine's team picked up a ball and made it look like he was going after Inuyasha, but he changed course and threw it as hard as he could at Kagome. Not seeing it coming, Kagome got hit in the face. The force from the ball and impact of it on her face sent her body down on the floor. She hit the floor with a thud and the game stopped instantly.

Inuyasha was by her side in a matter of seconds. Kagome's nose was bleeding profusely and a bruise was already appearing on her soft cheek. She opened her eyes and saw blurry image of Inuyasha's worried face and smiled weakly at him. On reflex, he smiled back and then helped her up. He watched at the teacher took hold of Kagome and helped her out the gym and to the nurse's office.

Inuyasha's inner demon roared to be let to the surface. However he kept it back, not wanting anyone to die. But he did allow himself a little pleasure. He picked up a ball at his feet and with everyone watching him allowed his demon strength to throw the ball at the guy who hit Kagome. It landed on his face with a thud and blood splashed the ball, the kid's face, and the gym floor. Inuyasha grinned at the sight.

Students in the class when to the kid, who was out cold. A few lifted him off the floor and carried him out. Inuyasha didn't know where they were going, but at the moment he didn't really care. Then he sighed happily as his name was called out over the loud speaker to go the office.

To be continued..
