Chapter 2 (The New Girl)
The loud ringing from the speaker made him jolt back to consciousness. Inuyasha stretched his arms and stood up. He made his way to his class and sat on his usual spot, with a bored look he observed the people enter and exit the wide open door. It is always the same shit but a different day. Life is boring. A slight hope graced on his face as he saw his best friend walk towards him. There's only a few people who makes his life somehow bearable. With a line etched on Souta's forehead and his eyes full of worries, the simple greeting Inuyasha was about to say was forgotten. Souta nodded at him and went back on pondering whatever was on his mind. Inuyasha let out a sigh. It has been almost a week since Souta started acting unusual.
"Hey guys," Miroku greeted as he sprinted past them and to the girl at the back of the room. After a second, a hand making contact to a skin was heard. A Miroku with a big red hand print on his right cheek came back with a big grin on his face.
"It was worth it," he mumbled as his so called 'cursed hand' slightly twitched from the contact with whatever it held.
"Stupid lecher," Inuyasha muttered as he went back on minding his own business.
The peace and harmony in Inuyasha's mind was interrupted when a two overly excited men ran inside the room with grin on their faces. At the same time they yelled "there's a new student". Inuyasha rolled his eyes and groaned on his chair.
'Another nuisance'

Kagome made her way towards her homeroom. A small devious smile tugged on her lips as she imagined the reaction of her older brother when he sees her. With the help of her cunning friends, they came up with a brilliant plan. To avoid her parents from following her to Japan, her best friends decided to be the bait and confuse the people following them.
The scenario she had on her mind before was completely different to the situation she found herself in. She looked around her surrounding and examined the people she will be associated with. Most of the girls didn't look pleased of her presence. Her thoughts were interrupted when she was suddenly asked to introduce herself. She at least knows that part.
"I am Kagome Hitomi, it is nice to meet you all."
Her eyes roamed around and spotted two pair of eyes. A golden one who was watching her moves intently and a pair of blue.
'I am so dead' Kagome thought to herself while fidgeting nervously on her seat. She can feel someone drilling a hole on the back of her head. Without noticing, classes ended and everyone began to head out of the gym. Kagome exhaled loudly and glanced to the back and saw her brother and his friends making their way towards her.
Inuyasha gazed at the new girl again, her looks and presence itself was intriguing enough that he couldn't take his eyes away from her. Inuyasha turned away and looked at his friends instead. The peculiar sensation he feels whenever he gaze at her was something he has never felt before and is making him feel strange inside.
Bankotsu and Kouga were the first one who reached the bottom bleacher, followed by Miroku, Souta and Inuyasha. They turned their heels towards her.
"I cannot help but notice your beauty from a far. The name is Kouga," he finished coolly and extended his arms to Kagome. She looked at him with disinterest while Inuyasha watched from the side with amusement.
She greeted them quickly and diverted her eyes towards the pair of blue eyes who has been looking at her sternly. Souta just frowned at his little sister the whole time. He has so many things to ask her, however if he mention anything, the secret he has been hiding his whole life will be exposed. Call him crazy and selfish, but if you have best friends like his, of course hiding you sister from the, is the only right thing to do.
"We should go now, class will be starting soon," he said, trying his best to remain composed. Souta let out a sigh of relief as they started making their way towards the exit door.
The guys stopped on their tracks when Kagome started speaking "Wait a second, sorry oni-"
With a lighting speed and a fast reflect he ran to Kagome and slapped his right hand on her mouth.
The tension in the room was so thick that one could almost cut it with a knife…

"Well that was an interesting turn of events," Kagome faced her older brother.
"Don't turn this to me. You are the one who is in trouble."
"Oniichan, I didn't come here all the way from Europe to 'stay away from your friends. I have better things to do like maybe umm," Kagome placed her index finger on her chin and pretended like she was thinking of something, then she added "like maybe hide from our crazy parents?" she shouted.
"Fine, I just wanted to protect you from my friends," Souta argued.
Kagome frowned at her older brother, his over protective-sickness is acting up again. She groaned in disbelief and frustration. A small idea suddenly popped into her head, her frown changed into a smile.
"I will do whatever you want me to do, in once condition."
Souta looked at his sister meaningfully "I want to hear the whole story first, before I decide whether I will help you or not."

Kagome walked into her first class dreadfully. Their plan somehow worked but with a school full of different cliques and snobby girls; she was struggling to make new friends. Thanks to her over protective parents she doesn't know to face reality and deal with simple life crisis. She took a deep breath and sat on a nearby chair. Ignoring all the looks she was getting she made herself busy with her phone. Small whispers and snickers behind her got her attention, she noticed a figure towering her. She looked up and saw a girl glaring at her. A couple of girls were standing behind her, they all looked pretty intimidating especially the brown-eyed girl throwing daggers at her.
"Do you need something?" Kagome asked while swallowing dryly. She has never been an outgoing person despite of working on media before; of course with the consent of her parents. She still remained socially awkward, but in front of the camera her inner persona never failed to help her get through everything she has done.
Kagome noticed her flinch but quickly regained her composure. She scowled and looked Kagome in the eye.
"You are sitting on MY chair. GO sit somewhere else," she hissed at Kagome.
Kagome clenched her fist tightly, in her entire life she has never been treated like that. She was always respected and been looked out for. She looked down and walked towards the empty chair at the back. As soon as she settled down she noticed a red headed girl smiling sympathetically at her.
"Hey, I am Ayame. Just ignore her," the girl said while smiling genuinely at her.
"Kagome."
Their small talk was suddenly interrupted by the loud giggling coming from the front. She noticed Ayame rolling her eyes in annoyance. "I seriously hate that woman."
Kagome quickly glanced at the blonde girl and her crew. "Are they always like that?" Kagome asked.
"She's the queen bee of the school and those girl following her like a dog are her minions. She act like she own the school, so to answer your question yes they are like that every day," Ayame said.
"Anyway do you want to grab lunch with me? You seem like a nice girl," she added
Kagome smiled and nodded. She was able to make a new friend. This was the start of her high school experience. Like what Rin mentioned to her once, drama will always be a part of high school. She has a feeling that it will happen soon since she has been getting a dirty loo from a certain blonde girl named Sakura.

Inuyasha glanced around the loud cafeteria ad back to his noisy friends throwing stuff at each other. He sighed loudly. Inuyasha's life evolve around the same shit every day. School was always the same, he sees the same people every day, do the same thing every day, talk to the same boring ass people everyday. But today something was different. There's a new girl.
He noticed Souta look behind, he followed his gaze and saw the new girl from a distance. She smiled at Souta and glanced at him. She looked at him innocently, Inuyasha suddenly felt a sudden knot in his stomach. Weird. He quickly looked away and joined his friends' conversation.
Kouga quickly got up from his seas when he spotted two girls pass by.
"Kagome come sit with us," Kouga made his way towards Kagome, he grabbed her tray and dragged to their table. Ayame followed suit while rolling her eyes
Kagome awkwardly sat beside Souta and Ayame. Her and Souta's arrangement for her to stay away from his friends wasn't working as they planned. She looked away from the group for a second and unexpectedly spotted a pair of gold eyes staring back at her. It was the same guy she saw yesterday. His eyes are so captivating that you could get lost while staring at them. Her gaze then went down to his noise, and to his irresistible looking lips. She doesn't know how she ended with such perverted thoughts but it slowly clouded her mind. She licked her bottom lips and bit it gently, imagining what the feeling would be like if those pair of lips were touching hers. Kagome suddenly noticed those lips curve upward. Her gaze went back up and saw a sign of amusement reflecting on those gold pools. She hurriedly averted her eyes and looked at the floor-which seemed like the most fascinating at that moment.

Inuyasha looked at the girl sitting in front of him again, he really has no idea why he is so intrigued of her. He smiled to himself, he is probably losing his mind. He was about to look the other direction when she suddenly looked up and stared back. He looked at her eyes, now he remember why he was so charmed to her. It all started with those innocent looking blue eyes. He noted her eyes scanning his face and landing on his lips. She licked and bit her bottom lips after, which mad her small but pure and beautiful face-seductive. Inuyasha smirked, his grin became wider after seeing her face turn red from getting caught. She looked at the floor with interest. He chuckled silently at her silliness, which he found really adorable. His eyes widen as realization suddenly hit him, he abruptly averted his eyes. Something was really wrong with him.
The fuzzy feeling inside of him acted up again, Inuyasha moved his right hand to his chest. His heartbeat was kind of weird, its beating a little bit faster than usual. He looked back at their table and noticed Souta observing him.
Souta looked at him with eyes that were brunin with what looked like possessiveness. Inuyasha's slightly troubled face turned into a frown.
