More Updates and edits. Enjoy :)


"Alright class settle down. The weekend is over and it's back to work. Bankotsu! Release Mathew at once, or I'll have you on cleaning duty so fast your head will spin! Now then, before we get started I would like to introduce you to your new fellow classmate. I expect you to treat her with proper- JAKOTSU! Get to your appropriate homeroom this instant….. Now then,"

I stepped upped to the opening door, and Mrs. Keenly ushers me in. I looked to the ground to place on what I called my Sesshy face: calm, expressionless, regal. My eyes scanned the classroom as I received the usual looks mortals give, awe with a ting of jealousy from the girls and nods of approvals from the boys. At a demon school, no one would bother to look my way.

"Please introduce yourself dear."

I straighten myself up before lowering into a curtsey. I heard soft giggle, but ignored it.

"Good morning fellow classmates. My name is Elizabeth. I am please to make your acquaintance."

Laughter filled the room, and I felt my face get hot.

"Oh my gawd, what century did she transfer from?"

I rose out of my curtsey and locked eye with the owner of the heavy southern voice.

"I believe the word you're looking for is country, and that would be England. There young ladies are trained to take pride in making good first impressions. Perhaps it would benefit you to take a class or two in proper etiquette instead of painting your face up like a two dollar whore."

The red head's smile fell, and the class laughed harder making loud 'oooh' and 'guess she told you, Jewel."

"Enough! Elizabeth, please take a seat in the fourth row third desk. We have a lot of housekeeping paperwork to deal with before the end of the period."

Our glaring match continued for another minute or two before she looked away.

Yes, I do believe I can hold my own quite nicely here.


I make my way through the crowed tables, tray in hand, searching for an acceptable place to sit. A lot of people call out to me, mostly guys, and I nod at them, but don't stop. I finally find a seat at the back of the lunchroom. The table is pretty much empty save a small mousy haired girl.

She looks up at the sound of my tray hitting the table, and a look of utter shock crossed her face.

Unlike her, I don't stare, but I do notice her looking around as if expecting the climax of some cruel joke being played on her. I pull my attention back to my tray as I try to identify the masses of 'food' that have been slapped on to it.

"Hey! Hey! You're the new girl right?"

"Obviously." I say not bothering to look up.

"Well, since you're new and all, I guess I can save you any trouble by telling you to get away from me before someone sees you."

"Excuse me?"

"Look, you're outrageously pretty and because you're new, you're void of any social flaws. Me, on the other hand, I'm pretty much a social leper around here. So if you want to have an easy transition to this school, I suggest you try to squeeze you're way into the popular crowd. I'm almost certain they will welcome you with open arms."

I stare at her dumbfounded before turning to look in the direction she nodded.

This so called popular table consists of a group of students varying from freshmen to seniors. Their hair color varied with brunette being the most predominate, and all of them were exceptionally pretty-for humans.

I stared at them for a minute before my eyes landed on a certain red headed girl sitting comfortably in the lap of a ravened haired boy. Her back was towards me, but I am almost positive it is that Jewel girl from homeroom.

The boy she is sitting on seems to be around my age, and his skin was the shade of cocoa. His raven hair was plaited in a long braid stopping at what seems to be his waist.

I turn back around and look at the mousy haired girl across from me.

"Although I appreciate your concern for my…social well being, even if I wanted to join that little group, I highly doubt all of them would accept me so openly. It seems that I have made enemies with that red headed girl. Jewel, I believe is her name."

The girl's eyes grow wide. "Really!? Well hot damn." She stands and extends her hand to me, "Put her there! Any enemy of that pompous bitch is an ally of mine."

I stare at her hand, "Put who where?"

The girl stares at me for a minute as her smile fades slightly.

"No, I mean shake my hand."

"Oh! Alright then."

Her smile returns as she takes her seat. We sit in silence as I pick at my food and she eats hers.

"Iggy"

"Yes, this food is quite unappetizing."

"No, that's my name."

I look up in shock, "Why on earth would your parents name you icky?"

"No, not icky. Iggy."

"Is that not what I said?"

"Iggy. I-g-g-y"

"Oh, Iggy"

"Yeah"

I nod, "Elizabeth"

Her face brightens, but it quickly fades as she looks past me.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? The leper and little miss England."

I turn, not at the sound of Jewel's voice, but at the pair of eyes burning into my back. I lock eyes with the raven haired boy momentarily before he begins to eye me carefully as if appraising my worth. A smile crosses his face as he finally decides that I am worthy.

For what, I am afraid to ask.

"Hey! Are you listening to me, England!"

I turn away from him and look at Jewel.

"No." I toss my napkin on to my tray and stand, "If you'd excuse me, Jewel, Iggy and I have other matters to attend to."

Iggy immediately grabs her tray and stands.

"I wish you and your friends a pleasant afternoon."

I grab my tray and begin to follow Iggy towards the trash can.

"Oh, no you don't."

A yelp escapes me as my tray crashes to the ground.

"Hey! Let her go."

Two of Jewel's lackeys shove Iggy to the ground and pin her there before she could reach me.

Jewel tightens her grip on my hair and pulls harder, "You're going to pay for that little comment you made in class. No one makes a fool out of me."

I cringe and tighten my grasp on her wrist, "Oh…really. I didn't know you needed me to make you look like a fool. You do such a fabulous job on your own."

"Shut up you little bitch." She pulls harder and I cringe.

"Poison…"

"Jewel! That's enough. Release her."

She shoves me forward, and I stumble to the ground. The green aura around my hands fade as Iggy helps me up.

"Kikyo?"

The girl approaches me and picks up my tray. She was one of the older girls I saw at the so called popular table.

"I apologize for my friend's lack of common decency."

"'Scuse me?!"

I nod taking the tray from her.

"What the hell are you talking about? That little twat called me a whore."

Kikyo turns and glares at Jewel, "And you punish her for speaking the truth?"

Jewel stands struck completely dumb as Kikyo tosses her hair back and turns back to me.

"Thank you for your assistance….Kikyo?"

"Yes"

"Ah." I do a slight curtsey "Elizabeth."

"Inuyasha's sister?"

"Yes."

"You two favor. Well then, I suppose we should be on our way."

Kikyo lightly ushers Jewel and her posse towards their table.

"Perhaps we will meet again under better circumstances."

I watch them go and adjust my uniform top.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes"

"Wow, I can't believe kikyo actually spoke to you. She rarely speaks to anyone outside of her clique."

"Hmm." I turn and smile at Iggy, "Now that that is over, will be so kind as to direct me to my next class. I have a tendency to get lost when the halls get crowded."

Iggy examines me carefully making sure that I was truly ok, and I give her a reassuring smile. She returns it, and heads towards the cafeteria door. I throw a quick look over my shoulder to see the boy still staring.

A terrible feeling begins to rise in the pit of my stomach as a dark cloud looms above my head.

Nothing good can possibly come from him.
