Chapter 3

Just like his father said, Inuyasha is at the address. As he parks his car to the curb he looks around the neighborhood which the student being exchanged to his school. From the way he sees it, the houses are so close to each other as if they're touching each other. Unlike his own neighbor, there's a house about half a mile from each other. There's something unusual about the house the student lives in. Instead of the layout of the rest of the area, it's on top of a set of steep stairs going up to a hill. He can see there's a shoji gate at the top of it.

Inuyasha looks down to his car's barometer and sees that there's fifteen minutes until the first bell rings. 'Just what's taking this guy so long?' He thinks to himself in his head. 'For all of the places this guy lives, it had to be in this area.' A tap on the glass gets his immediate attention. He turns to see a girl looking into the car. "Um excuse me…" She said shyly. Inuyasha rolls down the window with the button on his side. Right off the bat, she's wearing his school's uniform. From the wear she's wearing is very flattering to him. But it's not that. She almost looks like a clone to Kikyo. "Are you my escort?" She asks him. Her voice is very cute to his ears, a bit softer than Kikyo's serene kind.

"Uh, yeah." Inuyasha gets out of the car and opens the door for her. "Thank you…" The girl couldn't finish her sentence. "I'm Inuyasha Takahashi." Inuyasha introduces himself. "Hello. My name is Kagome Higurashi." Kagome does the same in return as she gets in the passenger seat. "You have a nice car." She compliments the interior. "Thanks. I'm sorry I was a bit caught off guard." Inuyasha spoke as he began driving to Shikon High. "Caught off guard?" Kagome asks him curiously. "It's nothing to be worried about." Inuyasha dismissed her concern.

Kagome can tell that it might bother him in a strange way, but decided to drop that topic. "Are there people who might come after me?" She asks as Inuyasha parks the car in an empty parking spot. "No clue. Do you have your stuff with you?" Inuyasha asks her as they get out of the car. Kagome nods as she gets backpack and follow him to the doors of Shikon High.

Once steps in Kagome can see that inside of the building is identical to her own school. The first thing she sees are other students in the same uniform as her and Inuyasha. The intensity is overwhelming her from a few students looking at her. "Come on." Inuyasha takes her hand and leads her to the office. "Hello there." One of the faculty workers greets Kagome as Inuyasha waits outside. "I'm the exchange Student from Sakura Hills. Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said to the worker. The worker smiles, "Ah, yes. Here's your schedule for this trimester. I've been informed about your classes. This will be the same way here. Enjoy your time here." She hands Kagome her schedule. Kagome smiles and leaves the office.

Kagome sees Inuyasha with another boy. "Is that her, Inuyasha?" The other boy asks him with a friendly smile. Kagome walks up to them. "Hello. I'm Kagome Higurashi." Kagome bows to him. "I'm Miroku Houshi. Pleasure. I just have one thing to ask someone as beautiful as you." Miroku takes her one hand. "Can you consider bearing my child?" He asks her huskily.

Kagome twitches her eye. "I'm sorry. What?" Before a second went by, Inuyasha pulls Miroku by the ear. "Ow! Let go." Miroku cries in pain. "Like hell. It's no wonder no girl would do that." Inuyasha spoke angrily and he drags Miroku's hands from Kagome's. "Ignore him, Kagome. He's always like this whenever a beautiful girl catches his sight." Inuyasha explains to her about Miroku's behavior. "Come on. Let's get you to your first class." Inuyasha takes her to the first assigned room for her first period. 'Well at least this isn't some kind of a nightmare.' Kagome thought to herself.

A few days ago

Kagome and her mother head out to the uniform store. The door opens, ringing a bell to alert the workers a customer has entered. "Welcome. What can I help you with you two?" The woman greets them nicely. Ai comes up to her. "Hello. We're here to get a few uniforms for Shikon High." Ai explains her reason. She turns around to see Kagome just browsing the other uniform designs that go to Sakura Hill. The worker nods. "Of course. Right this way." She leads Ai and Kagome to the section of the store where Shikon Hill uniforms are placed.

Kagome picks up the uniform tops and look for the required size. "Are there any gym clothes here?" She asks the worker. The worker smiles sadly. "I'm afraid that the school itself has those. I'm just confused about it as well." Kagome shows an understanding look. "I might as well go there when I attend there." She responds and picks out the tops, skirts, socks, and the shoes. "I'm all set, mom." Kagome tells her mother as Ai is about to pay for the merchandise. "There's no need for that." The worker stops Ai from pulling out her wallet. "I was just informed about the program and they will pay her clothes." The worker explains to her and Kagome. "Ok then. Did the other student from the program arrived?" Kagome asks her.

The worker shakes her head. "No I haven't yet. I'll make sure that the student is informed about this as well." Kagome and Ai smile. "Ok. But thank you for your help." The two girls leave the store.

End of Flashback

Kagome is standing in front of the class she enters after Inuyasha lets her in. "Hello." She bows to the group. She can tell that some of the students are not liking her being here. Others might beg to differ. More like asking her out or ask for her number. "Class. Even though she's from Sakura Hills, you are to make her feel she's part of the group. As such, no bullying, nothing to be mocked about either. If any of you try to pull something like that to her, not only will I be informed but also the headmaster will as well for what you guys don't know…" The teacher points to the corners of the classroom ceiling. "…from now on, you will be monitored for her behalf."

Kagome never saw this coming. "Not just in this room, but also the entire school has camera in every aspect." The teacher said to the class seriously 'Just what have happened to me to deserve this?' Kagome said nervously. Other than that, she feels safe. As soon as she takes her seat, the trimester begins.

After the first class, Kagome is packing her belongings one of the guys in her class approach. "Hey there." He greets her nicely. Kagome looks up to see a guy a bit taller than her. He has black hair in a high ponytail, icy blue eyes, elf like ears, as well as wearing the school uniform. "Hello." Kagome greets back nicely. "I'm Koga. I was hoping if you're free some time this week?" Koga asks her.

"Kagome has no interest in going out with you." Inuyasha stops Kagome from giving her response. "I don't recall you answering on her behalf." Koga turns to him. "Sorry, Koga. I'm not into dating. Good-bye." Kagome gives her answer and leaves the classroom with Inuyasha right behind her. Koga on the other hand isn't giving up that easily.
