Chapter 02: The Meetings

Inuyasha's eyes spotted the well as it came closer to view. Standing a few inches away, he looked at his traveling companions over his shoulder: "Are you…ready to go?" He was afraid in silence that this might not work. He could clearly pass but he wanted to show Sango and Miroku that he really was going to apologize to the miko. He wanted them to see that he was being truthful in his words.

"I-Inuyasha…what if this doesn't work?" questioned Miroku coming from out of the bushes with the demon slayer appearing after him. "What if you are the only one to cross to Kagome-sama's time?"

"Miroku is right, Inuyasha," cut in Sango, holding onto her weapon tightly behind her along with Kirara resting on her shoulder.

Inuyasha wasn't sure on how to reply to their questions. He himself didn't know if it would work. He looked away and into the dark well: "We will all jump at the same time…," he looked up at the clear clean sky. "We at least have to try…"

Sango sighed, clenching her weapon tightly in her palm: "You are right…"

Miroku grabbed Shippo into his arms, surprised that Shippo hadn't said anything against the hanyou. They always bickered, even in the wrong moments.

"Ready?" Inuyasha set foot on the border of the well.

They all nodded, following his movements and stilled at the sight below. Before anyone could say anything, they jumped in without hesitation, letting the magenta and blue wave colors engulf them inside.

Walking to school wasn't as awkward as they both thought. They had learned each other's names, age, and one thing they had in common was the number of days that accumulated in absences. Kagome gave out a light laugh, grabbing her backpack tightly: "The new kid, huh?"

"Yup," he answerd, his eyes set on ahead. "I will have to be the new kid now. It is going to be troublesome."

"Isn't going to be that bad," she reassured him.

"My hair color will give out problems without me looking for trouble," he told her.

"Huh?" she blinked. "Hair color?"

"Yeah," he finally looked down next to him. "It is obviously orange. This color is natural but too many…they will think I dyed it. Seriously," he sighed out, "who would want to dye their hair orange of all colors…especially a guy."

"I think it suits you," she smiled, her eyes landing up ahead of the road, missing the slight blush that erupted from the orange head's face.

"You really don't think it is strange?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"I have seen weirder things and orange hair is normal to me you could say," she answered. 'Of course…with Inuyasha having his silver hair along with Ayame's deep red and Sesshomaru's identical one to Inuyasha's, but let's not forget…I know demons…' She sighed loudly: 'I wonder if Inuyasha is angry I left?'

"So…," Ichigo trailed out his word, "your family owns the shrine, right?"

Breaking out of her thoughts, Kagome's eyes landed on the teen next to her: "Yeah, my grandfather think that it has been there for many years, along with the tree next to our house," she looked down at her walking feet. She made it sound like she didn't believe it but she had seen that tree standing…for five hundred years.

"That sounds interesting," he commented.

She gave out light scoff: "Yeah…our grandfather tells us the story a million times. He still believes demons exist during this era."

"Demons?" Ichigo turned towards her with this information.

"Yeah, but I don't think demons have come to live this far," she commented. 'Would Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have lived this long to see this era come to life? Who knows…it isn't like I can ask them back in the feudal era.'

Before Ichigo could question her more with the demon story, he noticed both of them had arrived at the school with extra time to spare. Kagome smiled at the orange head: "Should I show you to your class?" She was suddenly dragged off a few feet away from the male. She blinked, noticing her three friends, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi bending her head lightly down as they began to converse between each other, leaving a confused Ichigo standing near the school's gate.

"Who is that, Kagome?" asked Yuka, eyeing her friend closely.

"He is cute," smirked Ayumi, creating a blush on Kagome's face.

"You should introduce us," smiled Eri while clapping her hands together.

"Huh?" blinked Kagome. "Girls…he is new…you shouldn't make him feel nervous on his first day!"

Yuka scoffed: "That is why you should introduce us…so he doesn't feel nervous around us!"

Kagome sighed, knowing that she couldn't win this battle when it came to boys and her friends. She walked over towards the orange head, still getting him confused with the three friends walking behind her with a smile.

"Um, girls, this is Kurosaki Ichigo," she presented him. "Kurosaki-san, these are my friends, Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri," Kagome watched her friends beginning to closely eye the tall teen. They obviously were ignoring his orange hair…something that Ichigo wanted, right?"

Ichigo's lips twitched, uncomfortable with the stares he was receiving and the closeness they were giving to him: "Um…nice to meet you."

Ayumi leaned closer, making him lean back a few inches: "Wow! Where are you from!? It is weird getting a transfer student in the middle of the year!"

"How old are you?" questioned Yuka, smiling at the orange head.

"Um…uh…-" Ichigo was cut off by the school's bell, reliving him from the girls' question. Kagome sighed: "I will show you to your class then."

"Please do," he replied, following while watching that Kagome's friends were following closely behind. After Kagome had showed him to her class, he stood in front after all the students had taken their assigned seats and waited for the teacher to introduce the new student. Everyone awed and gawked at the boy. Mostly because of the orange hair that was certainly going to stand out in this school. Everyone in this school looked like a normal Japanese.

"Class," started out the teacher after writing Ichigo's name on the board, "this is Kurosaki Ichigo and he will be joining our class this year. I know it is rare to get transfer students in the middle of the year but please make him feel welcome." The teacher looked around the class and found an empty seat near Higurashi. "Kurosaki-kun, you can go and sit next to Higurashi-san over there."

Walking over, still feeling the stares from the students, Ichigo pulled out his chair and sat and looked at the girl next to him. He saw her smile.

"Coincidence, isn't it?" she questioned him.

"Huh?"

"Neighbors, same school and class, and now…we sit next to each other," she lightly laughed.

"I guess you are right," he answered. Was it a coincidence?

"Kagome!" Inuyasha abruptly slid the door open to Kagome's home. The moment they had seen the wooden ceiling over their hands, Inuyasha quickly jumped over, glad that Sango and Miroku were able to pass with no trouble. He entered her home, sniffing the area around to see if Kagome was present.

"Inuyasha?"

He looked over his shoulder from the hallway to see Kagome's mother coming out of the kitchen with a few vegetable in hand.

"What a surprise," she spoke with smile. She quickly noticed two other people coming from behind the hanyou, both dressed in weird clothing like him. She smiled, knowing that from her daughter's stories, they were the demon slayer and monk that traveled with them. "Oh, you brought people with you?"

Miroku walked forward, already sensing Inuyasha's silence. He bowed to the lady: "Hello, you must be Kagome-sama's mother. I am Miroku, a humble monk that travels with your daughter."

Sango walked over, also bowing lightly at the older woman: "I am Sango, a demon slayer."

"Ah yes," smiled Kagome's mother. "Kagome has told me a lot about you two." Her eyes were drawn down to the kitsune in the monk's arms: "And you must be Shippou-kun? Kagome has told me that she has been taking care of you since she found you."

Shippou smiled: "Yes! Kagome is like my okaa-san!"

"I am glad you think highly of her," smiled Kagome's mother. "Well, it is nice to meet you all."

"I take it you are Kagome's mother?" asked Miroku, placing his hand over his chest.

"Yes," she nodded. "Kagome has a younger brother, Souta, but he is currently in school. Their grandfather has gone off to pick up his medicine in the meantime. He will be here shortly and I will introduce you."

Inuyasha finally walked forward, facing the woman: "W-Where is Kagome?"

"Inuyasha," she spoke, looking into his eyes, "you should clearly remember that she goes to school at this time."

"Oh…," he looked away, "right…"

She looked between the travelers, nothing but silence and sadness being shared around. She tilted her head to the side: "Is there a problem? Something Kagome should know?"

"There is something we must tell her," smiled Miroku, knowing Inuyasha couldn't bring himself to tell the real story to Kagome's mother.

"Well, you can all rest here in the meantime. She will be here in a few hours," she turned around and walked back into the kitchen to her duties.

"Thank you," both Sango and Miroku bowed at her kindness. Miroku smiled at the demon slayer: "Kagome-sama's mother is very kind."

"Very much like her," whispered Sango. Shippou jumped on top of Miroku's shoulder, looking around the house.

"Where is Inuyasha?"

"Huh?"

Both looked outside to see Inuyasha standing in front of the tree he had been rumored to be pinned on my Kikyou. His eyes held nothing but worry.

"Orihime?"

An orange head girl turned around at the call of her name. Her eyes widened with a smile as she saw a petite girl with short black hair and purple eyes walking towards her: "Kuchiki-chan!" She quickly noticed a tall male with maroon colored hair walking behind the petite Shinigami. "Abarai-kun?"

"Abarai, Kuchiki."

All three looked over to see a black haired teen with glasses walking over to the trio.

"What are Shinigami doing here at this time?" he asked.

"Ishida," whispered Rukia.

"Where is Ichigo?" questioned Renji while looking at Ichigo's friends.

Orihime tilted her head to the side: "Huh? Did he not tell you guys?"

"Tell us?" they both repeated.

"Kurosaki moved to Tokyo," spoke Uryuu, a bit surprised to see the shocked expressions on the Shinigami faces.

"I thought you two knew," Orihime placed her index finger on her chin, really confused as to why Ichigo hadn't told them.

"Where is this Tokyo?" glared Rukia, annoyed with the orange head for keeping this information to himself without telling her anything.

"Well, Ishida-kun and Sado-san were coming with me today to visit him," she smiled while pulling out a piece of paper. "He wrote his address here."

Rukia shared a glance with Renji: "We should go." She grabbed Orihime's piece of paper, scanning the contents.

He nodded, ready to punch the kid over the fact he kept silent.

Orihime clapped her hands together: "I am sure Kurosaki-kun will be happy to see you coming with us!"

"It has been two months," cut in Uryuu. "You Shinigami haven't made an appearance around here for two months…why now?"

Renji sighed, placing his hands inside his pockets as Rukia eyed the teens: "Soul Society gave us orders to destroy a certain item."

"Destroy a certain item?" repeated Orihime. "What exactly?"

Rukia returned the paper to the girl: "A well. We are sensing a strong presence from it and luckily…it seems like it is near Ichigo's new home. The address is near the one we got."
