Chapter 3. There's a first for everything

~KAG POV~

I would have walked around the rest of that school in a daze if it weren't for Koga. He showed me where all of my classes were and where all the cool places to hangout. He was so nice and friendly. Id felt like I had known him forever.

We were walking to gym class, the only class we shared, holding hands and laughing with with each other, when that guy dressed in all black, I saw in the main office earlier, came out of nowhere and purposely bumped into Koga making our hands come apart.

His golden eyes sparkled and gleamed like wild fire and he smirked. "Opps." He said, though, there was was nothing but pleasure and cockiness in his voice.

Koga sneered, moving me behind him as if to shield and block me from Inuyasha's view. Watch where your going, mutt face." My forehead creased and I looked at Koga for an answer. Mutt face? Why did Koga call that guy a mutt?

Said guy wrinkled his nose like he smiled something bad. "You should talk wolf breath." With that, he turned and walked through the gyms double doors and let them shut behind him.

Koga place a hand behind his head and laughed nervously. "Sorry about that, Kagome. InuYasha can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Just ignore him. I know I do."

I stepped out from behind Koga's back. InuYasha? That boy's name was InuYasha?

"Why did you call him a mutt?" I asked curiously.

He smirked knowingly to himself, like he knew a secret about this InuYasha person that no one else knew. "InuYasha is a half demon. He is one part human on his mother's side and and one part dog-demon on his father's side."

I stared at the floor as I thought it over. So…he was half demon? "Oh," I said quietly.

Koga shrugged. "Yeah." then he cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. "Well enough about the mutt face. I have somethin' cool to show you." Koga grabbed onto my hand and opened one of the double doors and lead me inside. Koga let out a snicker as he saw my draw drop and my eyes grow twice in size.

'Somethin' cool' didn't even begin to describe this gym. Maybe amazing, indescribable, unbelievable and stunning would have been more appropriate. The gym was huge, gigantic even. Yea. The gym was gigantic.

It had to have been the size of an official indoor football field, and that didn't include the olympic size track next to it, off to the right of the basketball court and large wrestling mats. There were a bunch of demon's running around the track so fast it hurt my head trying to watch them for too long.

I titled my head up and noted the huge lights that were gleaming down from the ceiling, next to the big, whirling fans that I assumed kept the indoor arena cool.

Turning my attention back to the field, I saw that some demon's were wrestling on the field and demonstrating all of their power's. InuYasha excluded of course. He wasn't wearing the standard white teeshirt and red track shorts, no. He had changed into baggy black sweats and black tee, defying the the dress code. He was leaning lazily on the side of the gym, glaring at the field with his muscled arms folded tightly over his chest.

Next to the wrestling mats were a bunch of regular looking teen's holding weapons and aiming them at mock demons. One of the teens, a tall girl with sleek dark brown hair, grabbed a tan, boomerang looking thing, ran across the field at an inhuman speed, jumped high into the air and yelled "HIRAKOTSU!" before throwing the object dead on the demon. The boomerang rounded itself around the dummy and came swopping back into the girls waiting hand, securing it tightly behind her back. She whipped her brow from sweat and gave a cocky grin as some boys ogled at her, obviously impressed that a girl had been able to accomplish such an amazing skill.

"Woah." I said in in-between a breathy sigh. "This place is incredible."

Koga snorted and folded his arms across his chest."You can thank Inu no Taisho for that."

"Who?"

"Thats InuYasha's very wealthy and very powerful father. He owns the business So'unga 's one of Japan's biggest business tycoon's. "

I nodded my head slowly, the name So'unga becoming ever more familiar. Id read something about that in my search to find ou tore about my new school. "Oh yeah. I read about him on the internet. Thats InuYasha's father?" Koga nodded, keeping his eye on said Demon. "You'd think InuYasha would be more friendly with a father like that." I said quietly.

Koga snorted. "You'd think. Well anyway, I have to go get ready for gym."

I gulped, suddenly nervous. Koga was the only person I knew. He was my only friend and I didn't want to leave him. He was very comforting to have around. "The girls locker room is over there," Koga said, obviously sensing my sudden distress as he pointed toward an open door with a girls sign over it.

I nodded slowly. "Ok well I'm taking archery for my gym class. Where should I go after I've changed?"

Mom and dad had started training me to be a priestess when I was little. And archery had been my favorite thing about being a priestess. Not to mention I was good at it too. But that was before dad died. After he passed away, I told mom I didn't care for it anymore.

She didn't argue with me on the subject.

He pointed to the very middle of the field where a few bows and arrows were set up. "Over there. Your teacher is miss Nazuna."

Giving him a grateful smile I mumbled a "Thanks."

I watched as Koga sprinted over toward the boys locker room and shuffled myself into the girls. I put my bag into an empty locker and changed out of my school clothes into a pair of red shorts and white teeshirt with SH (Shikon High) on the front in bold red letters. Once I was finished lacing up my white gym shoes and had put my hair into a high pony tale, I looked around and saw three girls talking to watch other in a small circle.

I eyed them for a moment, before walking over and clearing my throat. This was the only chance at me making friends. Why blow it?

The girl who'd I assumed to be the leader by her cocky stance, her chin which was jutted out a firm angle and her arms over her chest, turned around and gave me a 'what the hell do you want?' look and I frowned. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. I took an involuntary step backward. "Um…Hi." I said, sounding as friendly as possible. "Um, do you know where the archery group is?"

The leader of the clique, I noticed suddenly, was a bit taller then me but looked a tad like myself. She had long flowing black hair and dark brown eyes that looked down at me as though I were some type of an insect. "Your looking at it," she grunted.

Yep. This was definitely a very bad idea. Instead of asker her what the hell her problem was, like I wanted to do so badly, I smiled."Well Im Kagome. Im new here." I said, hopping she'd changed her tune once she saw I wasn't a danger.

Her eyebrow arched up in a hostile movement.. "Im Kikyo Johnston. Captain of the cheerleading squad and archery club." She turned and motioned forward two other girls. "This is Kagura who's co-captain of the cheerleading squad and and this is Tsubaki who is co-captain of the archery club."

My forced smile grew, and I gave a pathetic little wave. "Hi. Nice to meet you."

Kikyo smiled, though it looked forced. "Were going out to the field if you want to join us."

I shrugged indifferently. "Sure."

Kikyo then led us out onto the open field and walked slowly toward the bows and arrows. It was then that I noticed her eyeing InuYasha like he was a piece of meat, causing a feeling to boil up in my chest. What was that feeling? InuYasha, thankfully, wasn't looking at her though. Instead, he was picking at his long claws, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else but here. I had to agree.

"Doesn't he look good?" Kikyo whispered to Kagura, who, had looked bored up until now and nodded her head and hummed. My eyes snapped to the back of Kikyo's head and I glared. Did she like InuYasha? Then that feeling came back. A feeling that I didn't much care for. What the heck was that feeling?

"Yeah. And look at his arms! They look so much bigger and stronger then they did last semester. I bet he's been working out." Tsubaki commented, snickering. And that was when I realized what feeling was; jealousy.

I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of the drooling girls and grabbed a unused bow and arrow. Was I jealous? No. I couldn't be. It was impossible. I had just met InuYasha. And even when I had met him, he was a complete and utter jerk. I hadn't even properly met him met him. I couldn't possibly be jealous. The idea was insane.

I glanced backwards, over my shoulder, trying to see what said half-demon was doing now, only to find that he was staring right at me. When he caught me looking his way, a small, crooked smile appeared on his face. He even began to wave a little. I blushed and looked all around to make sure he was in fact waving at me. when I was absolutely sure that he was, I gave him a smile and a small wave back.

That was when his smile turned into a glare and his wave turned into the bird.

My mouth dropped open and I immediately turned away from him. What the hell was that for? Did I seriously offend this guy or did he always act like a complete asshole to ever person he'd ever met?

I didn't have time to ponder about the mysterious InuYasha for long before Miss Nazuna called out attendance. After which, we were all instructed to go and practice out on the archery field. Kikyo, I had to admit, by far the best out of the whole class. The exception being me.

When it was my turn to practice the arrow of sealing, which Kikyo had demonstrated flawlessly, I stepped up to the center line and aimed my bow and arrow. I pushed the thought of InuYasha and his assholey-ness away and tried calming myself with a deep breath. This wasn't about anyone else now. This was about me. Me and my bow and arrow.

I stretched my arms out, accommodating the bow and I titled my head just slightly, narrowing my gaze on the practice target. Just like my father had instructed me so many years ago. I narrowed my eyes, watching a beat after taking another breath and fired my arrow, letting it wiz in the air until it hit the bullseye with a soft thud.

A few people around me let out small gasp and whispers and I looked around and blushed. I hated being the center of attention. Miss Nazuna smiled and walked up to me and gave me a small pat on the back. "Great job Kagome. Keep it up."

My smile became bashful. "Thanks. I will."

Koga, who had been watching me from his place on the running track, ran over to me with a huge grin plastered onto his face. "Wow Kagome! That was great!"

I fought off blushing and looked down to the grassy field. "Thank you Koga." I looked up at him and he had this really cute expression on his face. My gaze soon traveled past his cute expression, over his shoulder to InuYasha who was glaring at me, his muscled arms folded over his chest.

I tilted my chin in InuYasha's direction. "I guess it seem like not everyones a fan of my shooting though…"

Koga followed my gaze and scowled. "He can hear us…." He muttered.

My eyebrows came together. "What? He can?!" 'InuYasha can hear me?'

That was when InuYasha stopped leaning on the wall and shouted, "YEAH. I CAN!" He glared at me for a second longer before he turned and walked away.

I scowled at InuYasha as he left. "Wow. Is he always this charming?"

Koga was about to say something but I wasn't paying attention to him because InuYasha was once again looking at me. He smirked a little and mouthed the words "Only for you princess," before walking into the boys locker room.

~INU POV~

There was something about her that I couldn't place. She was different, somehow and I didn't like it. It made the tiny silver hairs on my arms stand on end and my inner demon growl. That Kagome girl was something different.

I walked through the cafeteria and sat on one side of a barrier that separated the human side and the demon side of the school. Demons were chowing down on raw pieces of meat and the humans were delicately placing food into their parted mouths. I snorted loudly. If the school boards were oh so scared about demons killing humans, why didn't they just segregate all schools?

Seeing as how Im a half demon, I get to sit wherever the hell I want. I always sit on the human side. I mean if I had to choose between powerful angry ass demons who didn't like half-breeds, such as myself, or humans that were scared of me…it was a no brainer.

I mean come on. Which side would you choose?

My best friend, Miroku, strolled his happy ass into the cafeteria. Miroku was pretty tall for a human his age. He dark brown hair that was gathered into a small rats tail at the base of his neck and bangs that fell in front of his letcherou's face. He was wearing a purple sweatshirt and skinny jeans today.

Miroku and I had been best friends for what seemed like forever. He was like a brother to me. Well more then a brother then my actual brother was. But man was he a pervert. You put him into a room with bunch of hot chicks and he starts to hyperventilate.

Immediately upon his arrival into the cafe, he began to try to talk to some cheerleaders who were wearing their red and white cheerleading outfits. All the while, the turned away from him and stuck their nosies into the air, pointedly ignoring him. But Miroku has never been the, shall we say, brightest? when it comes to women. It looked like he was giving them the whole 'You are one of the most gorgeous women Ive ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on. Would you consider, bearing my children?' speech. And as if on cue, Miroku got down on one knee while he stroked the hand of a busty brunette.

I looked away and chuckled as a slapping sound echoed though the noisy cafeteria. All too soon, Miroku came over to our usual table, pouting. He always pouts when he was turned down, so you can only imagine how much he pouts.

Miroku walked up to our table and grinned deviously as I eyed the new hand mark he was sporting on his cheek. "Hey man, I'm starving. Lets go get some food."

I shook my head. "Seriously you gatta' give up on those girls. They're just going to ignore you."

He gave me a knowing grin. "You could at least give me points for trying."

I smiled, shaking m head at his antics and went and got some food from the cafeteria which consisted of ramen and a pepsi.

"Very healthy." Miroku commented as he sat down next to me at our empty table.

I snorted, stuffing food into my mouth. "Thanks."

Thats when I saw that new girl, Kagome, walk into the cafeteria with Koga. Together. Talking. He was probably explaining how she couldn't sit new to him on a count of him being a demon.

"Awh darn." I said sarcastically.

Miroku looked up from his food and eyed me. "What?"

I smirked and leaned back in my chair, nodding my head in the direction of Koga and the girl. "The princess cant sit with her favorite wolf boy today."

Miroku followed my gaze and smirked when he saw who Id been eyeing. "What? You jealous?"

I suddenly at froward, bring my chair back on all four, making a menacing face at him. "You have to be kidding right? Me be jealous of the wolf? And over that skinny brat of all people?" I rolled my eyes. "Yeah right."

He put his hands up in defense like I was holding him at gunpoint, but he was still smirking. "Sorry man I was only joking."

My eyes flicked back over to Kagome and Koga who were now sitting across from each other and the border of the barrier.

"Oh wow." I said in disgust. "They're like what? Three fucking feet away from each other?"

Miroku smirked at me, resuming eating his lunch. "Man, you really must like her to be jealous of Koga."

"IM NOT JEALOUS OF KOGA!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, slamming my palms onto the table.

Everyone in the cafeteria stopped and stared at me like I was crazy, Kagome and Koga included.

Kagome smirked and turned her head away from me and back to Koga who grabbed her hand and kissed it gently.

"I fucking hate him." I snarled, bringing the hood of my sweatshirt to cover my burning ears.

Miroku couldn't stop laughing.

~KAG POV~

My last class of the day was english and once I sat down in the seat the teacher assigned me, I sat down next to the girl who I had seen throwing the huge boomerang type thing in gym. Her hair was down now and she was wearing a pink shirt and a very stylish green mini skirt. She smiled at me when she saw me starting at her and I smiled back, embarrassed that she's caught me staring.

"Hey, I'm Sango. I guess were desk partners." She said.

"Im Kagome." I said as I put my backpack onto the floor.

She nodded her head, keeping a warm smile on her face. "Its nice to meet you Kagome. I hear that you caused quite a stir in gym today. Nice shooting by the way."

I blushed slightly. Again, I hated to be the center of attention. "Thanks."

She shrugged. "No problem."

I hand't realized it until after it had happened but Sango and I became best friends almost instantly on my first day. She got me, when most people didn't. Her humor was sharp and she had a fast tongue, something I wish I had. She was snarky without being to rude and she always spoke her mind. I liked her.

I liked her a lot.

When class was almost finished, I noticed the boy who had been sitting next to InuYasha at lunch, grab ahold of Sango's butt with a evil hint in his eye.

This, obviously, enraged her. "MIROKU YOU LECH!" She yelled.

Miroku put his hands up in defense and coward away from her. "My darling Sango please.." He pleaded.

"Im not your darling." She said as she stomped her foot.

I smirked and turned away from the scene to stare out the classroom window. I did turn my attention back, however, when I heard a smack being echoed around the room. Miroku sat back in his chair, rubbing his now smarting mark on his face. I winced, but giggled a little to myself.

Yeah. Miroku was going to be feeling that one for a while…

xXx

After english, Sango was still mad at Miroku and Miroku still had the bright, pink hand mark on his right cheek and he was pouting, so I was more then ecstatic when Koga came over out of nowhere and grabbed my hand.

"Hey Kaggs. How was your first day?" He asked, using my new nick name he'd given me earlier.

I giggled. "Fine, thank you."

We walked out of school and Sango gave me her number and told me I should text and call her sometime. I smiled and assured her that I would. Deffinitly. We were waiting around for our rides when I saw InuYasha, sulking his way out of school and toward a sleek black motorcycle and got on. Seeing me watching him, he smirked smugly, gave me a wink before he drove away.

I shook my head and sighed when suddenly mom drove up in her car. I smiled and waved at all of my new friends before hopping in the car.

As soon as my butt touched the carseat, Mama was bombarding me with all sorts of questions. Like how was my first day? And where the kids nice? and did I have a good time? She was so excited, she didn't even let me get a odd in. I soon found myself so bored with her questions, that I didn't answer most of them.

When we picked up Souta from school, and he finally made it into the car after being so busy talking with kids that I would imagine to be his own new friends, he was practically screaming. He was so excited about his new school. Apparently, from what I could be able to decipher from his constant chattering, was that he had made a new demon and human friend.

I sighed closed my eyes. I was so tired, and I still had a lot of homework to do. I tried pushing the thought of homework away when suddenly Souta said,"Look a motorcycle!"

I cracked opened my eyes under my eyelashes, turned my head to the direction the Souta was yelling and wanted to scream myself. But for a whole different reason.

Even if InuYasha had been wearing a helmet, I still would have been able to spot his silver hair a mile away. InuYasha was placed in the lane directly next to us and he wore a somewhat peaceful expression on his face, something I thought he never did.

It was definitely nicer then him giving me the bird.

InuYasha's head suddenly looked over at our car and what he must have seen was something like me, with my nose pressed up against the window, looking like a deranged pig and Souta screaming, pointing and hopping up and down like a monkey. He must have thought we were our own traveling zoo.

His mouth gapped open for a second before he turned his gaze back onto the road ahead of him. Then he looked back at me, slightly. I narrowed my eyes and he did the same in a quiet challenge. We were having out own staring contest, waiting for the other to chicken out or look away. Suddenly, when was done staring, he lifted a clawed hand off of the handle bar and waved at me. He actually waved at me. I clenched my teeth and gripped onto the side of the padded carseat. InuYasha saw my irritability and smirked. He placed his hand back down on the handle bar, revved his engine a little and took off down the road so fast that I thought we were slowing down.

"Wow! He was so cool." Souta said once he'd calmed down.

I rolled my eyes, huffing myself back into my seat. "Yeah. The coolest."

A/N: Im actually glad I finished this chapter. After this we can get to the fun stuff ;) Until next time my darlings.
