CHAPTER TWO: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

 

Sunlight suddenly filled the room as curtains were thrown open.

“Time for school Kagome!”

Kagome Higurashi groaned from under her covers, “No.”

“Yes it is. First day of school is here.”

The blankets on the bed shifted and Kagome cracked open one eye to look the intruder, “You lie.”

Sango Taijiya laughed, “Sorry girl. But today's the day. It's already 6:30, you've got an hour to get ready.”

Kagome groaned and pulled the covers over her head again. “I refuse.”

“You don't want to be late do you?”

“I'm sick.”

Sango shook her head, “You shouldn't have stay up so late last night.”

“I didn't.”

“Talking.”

“I wasn't.”

Sango poked the sleeping figure on the floor next to Kagome's bed with her foot, “I doubt that. He's still here.”

Kagome sat straight up and level the body with a glare, “Stupid.”

Sango laughed, “You two are so weird.”

Kagome sighed and drug herself out of bed. Sango was right; she should've gone to bed sooner.

“I feel like the walking dead” she mumbled as Sango took a seat at her desk.

Gently kicking the body again as she made her way to her dresser Kagome growled, “Get up lazy. It's time for school.”

“What is it with you women and kicking me?”

Kagome smiled, “It's out of love.”

InuYasha Taisho sat up and rubbed his ribs, “That's some brutal love.”

Kagome looked at herself in the mirror and winced, “Dear God I look like the walking dead” she grumbled as she grabbed a brush and attacked her hair.

InuYasha stood and stretched, “I wouldn't want to see the hate. And stop doing that to your hair. You're gonna end up bald.”

Kagome laughed and walked over to her best friend of 16 years. “I'll brush your hair if you want.”

Sango laughed as InuYasha made a face and back away, “Hell no. You're dangerous with that thing!”

Kagome pouted sighed, “Oh fine. I need to take a shower anyways.”

Sango stood, “I'm gonna go and see what your mom's doing for breakfast, you coming InuYasha?”

InuYasha shook his head and fell back on Kagome's bed, “Nope. I want some more sleep.”

He closed his eyes and relaxed into Kagome's blankets as the two girls left the room.

 

“Wake up!”

InuYasha jumped as cold water splashed on his face.

“Kagome!”

Kagome stood next to the bed, a towel wrapped around her body, one hand drying her hair and an evil grin on her face. She flicked her wet hair at him again, “Get up.”

InuYasha suddenly pulled Kagome into his arms, “You're going to pay for that wench”. Kagome giggled and tried to twist away without losing her towel, “InuYasha! Let me go you dork. My towel's going to fall off.”

InuYasha smirked, “It's not like I haven't seen it before Kags.”

Kagome turned red and slapped his arm. Over the years there had been accidents; neither one though much on it, but loved to tease about it.

“You've been hanging around Miroku too much.”

She slid off her bed and pulled InuYasha with her, “Now get out of here so I can change.”

InuYasha allowed himself to be pushed out, but just before she shut the door he grabbed the top of her towel and pulled it out with him.

He laughed and winced as Kagome screamed his name through the door, “INUYASHA TAISHO!”

“Next time let me sleep wench.”

The door cracked open and Kagome peered around the side, her wet hair falling over her bare shoulder, “No more talking to Miroku for you.”

InuYasha just laughed loudly as he walked to the stairs, ducking at the top of the stairs as a shoe came flying by his head.

“Missed me!” he called back as he made his way into the kitchen, making sure to leave the towel in the living room.

Sango raised an eyebrow when he saw him drop the towel, but made no comment. If Kagome and InuYasha acted anymore intimate with one other, they could pass for lovers; and had been mistaken for lovers many times. But there was nothing sexual about their relationship. It was all in innocence and fun. Just as when they were children. When they first met Kindergarten they immediately became friends and stuck together like glue. Kagome's mother would often say they were the other half of each other's souls.

Sango chuckled as Mrs. Higurashi gently slapped InuYasha's hands away from the cupboards and handed him a plate stacked with pancakes. “Real breakfast InuYasha. No ramen.”

InuYasha pouted but took the plate anyways and sat next to Sango who already had hers.

 

Kagome came down the stairs just as InuYasha and Sango finished eating. Mrs. Higurashi had already left to take Kagome's younger brother, Souta, to school.

InuYasha raised an eyebrow when he saw Kagome, “Miroku's going to have a field day with that outfit” he remarked with a smirked.

Kagome looked down at her low rise blue jeans and black tank top, “You're right…maybe I will ch-”

“Like he could say anything” Sango cut in, “InuYasha will knock his head of before he even opens his mouth.”

InuYasha shrugged, “The pervert deserves every hit.”

“Speaking of perverts….” Kagome narrowed her eyes at InuYasha who just grinned innocently, “What?”

“Go take your shower.”

Sango rolled her eyes as InuYasha shrugged and took off up the stairs.

Kagome sat down with her own plate “God I'm hungry.”

“You two are so weird.”

Kagome looked up with her fork halfway to her mouth, “Where did that come from?”

Sango half shrugged and took a seat on the floor to play with the cat, “I'm just stating a fact.”

Sango's phone rang cutting Kagome off from making a reply.

“Yeah?....You're back!...Yeah I'm at Kagome's…..See ya there.”

“They're finally back?” Kagome asked taking her plate to the sink.

“Yeah. Kohaku said they just pulled into the school.”

Kagome went to the bottom of the stairs, “Hurry up InuYasha!”

Sango and Kagome sat down on the couch and flipped through channels as they waited for InuYasha to come down.

“I wonder if Rin and Sesshomaru are together are not this week” Kagome said softly as she made sure all her books were in her backpack.

“They're not” Sango said without hesitation and turned the TV off.

“How do you know?”

“Because Rin went on that trip, and we both know Sesshomaru wouldn't have let her go; especially with Kohaku.”

“Paranoid much?”

Sango laughed and got to her feet, pulling her backpack over her shoulder, “No kidding.”

“Who's paranoid?”

InuYasha came into the living room, backpack swung over his shoulder.

“Your brother.”

InuYasha made a face and Kagome laughed, “Come on. We're going to be late if we don't leave right now.”

Kagome led the way to her car and InuYasha leaned over to Sango, “You do realize this is your fault right?”

Sango frowned, “How's that?”

“Kagome hates mornings. If you hadn't woken her up; we wouldn't be on our way to school.”

“Ha!” Sango choked, “And do you want to face her wrath when she misses?”

InuYasha winced and sighed, “Damn it.”

Kagome hated mornings; but she was set on finishing school. Over the years whenever she missed a day; she freaked out.

Sango got into the back and InuYasha sat in the front with Kagome.

“Why do you even like school? Nothing ever happens.”

“I like to learn.” Kagome defended.

“And who knows” Sango commented from the back “Something could change this year.”

InuYasha scoffed and looked out the window, “I doubt it.”

He closed his eyes, he was very aware of what went on around him.

“This is going to be a boring year.”

 

 

 

The three of them piled out of the car and headed inside the school in search of their friends

“Hey Kagome! InuYasha! Sango! Over here!”

Shippo Kitsune waved from top of the stairs, “Hey you guys! I was wondering when you'd show up.”

He ran down the stairs and gave Kagome a quick hug, “How was your summer?”

“Keh. Where's Miroku?”

Shippo rolled his eyes, “That lecher is up there somewhere” he jerked her head back where he had just come from.

InuYasha briefly touched Kagome's shoulder before going up the steps two at a time and disappearing.

“Hey Miroku!”

Shippo suddenly grinned, “So are you two together yet?”

Kagome nearly fell over, “What?”

Sango started walking in the direction of her locker, and Kagome stumbled after her with Shippo laughing.

“I'll take that as a no.”

Kagome rolled her eyes, “How many times do I have to tell you Shippo; InuYasha and I are best friends. That's it.”

“Would you like it to be something more?”

Kagome groaned and put a hand to her forehead, “I'm getting a headache and school hasn't even started.”

Sango grinned, “And I'll take that as a yes.”

“Hey guys!”

Kohaku Taijiya and Rin came running up.

Rin gave Kagome a hug while Sango put her twin in a headlock.

“How was the trip?” Kagome asked as Kokaku and Sango wrestled on the floor.

Rin's eyes lit up, “Oh it was so much fun!”

Shippo yelped and leaped out of the way as the two siblings nearly ran him over.

Kohaku was captain of the debate team, and since Rin was too shy to compete, he made her the assistant manger and she often went along on the trips. They had been gone for most of the summer.

“Any body seen Sesshomaru?” Rin asked softly.

Kagome shook her head while Shippo half shrugged, “I saw him yesterday. But he looked pissed. What happened Rin?”

Rin sighed, “Oh it was nothing. You know how he is.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Sesshomaru Taisho was one the most difficult people to deal with. He and Rin's relationship had been on and off like a child that found the light switch ever since Rin started high school. They had feelings for each other. And usually got along. But at the same time they couldn't be more different. He wanted her, but didn't want them to be together. Rin wanted him, but didn't like his over protectiveness. It's a very confusing circle they run in, one everyone was starting to just ignore.

“What I would give to be you right now Kohaku.”

Sango instantly untangled herself from her brother and smacked a boy over the head.

“Pervert!”

Miroku Houshi grinned, his violet blue eyes twinkling, “Hello Sango.”

He turned to Kagome, his eyes wandering over her body; but before he could even open his mouth a hand hit the back of his head.

“Say it and lose it” a voice growled.

Miroku put on an innocent face, “Why InuYasha. How could you even think such a thing?”

InuYasha narrowed his eyes, “Because I know you. Anything out of your mouth is perverted.”

The bell ran cutting the conversation short. Everyone called out goodbyes as they ran to their classes.

 

~Backup to where InuYasha left to find Miroku~

 

Walking down the hallway, a girl tossed her long black hair over her shoulder and resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the babbling girl next to her.

“I'm so glad you're Kikyo! This year is going to be so much fun!”

Kikyo Shinidama looked down at her younger cousin, “Yuka. Shut up.”

Yuka immediately shut her mouth, a slight blush on her face.

“Look. You go and find your little junior friends. I got stuff to do.”

Yuka meekly waved a hand before running down the hallway.

Kirara Neko frowned slightly, “Don't be so harsh on her Kikyo. She's really excited that you're here.”

Kikyo laughed, “Oh I know. I just like teasing her. But enough about her, I need something to do…”

“Hey Miroku!”

Kirara and Kikyo turned to see a young man with silver hair jump up the stairs, a backpack swung over one shoulder.

Kikyo's eyes widened slightly, “Perfect.”

“Hey InuYasha” Kirara greeted. The boy slowed down, “Hey Kirara. You know where the lech is?”

Kirara pointed behind her, “Girl's bathroom.”

InuYasha rolled his eyes, “I'm not even going to ask.” he ran past the girls without even looking at Kikyo.

“Who was that?” Kikyo turned to her friend, “He's hot.”

“And off limits.”

Kikyo frowned, “Girlfriend?”

Kirara shook her head and stopped at the top of the stairs, “Best friend.”

She pointed to a girl with black hair; she was talking to another girl and a fox demon.

“Who's that?”

“Kagome Higurashi. And that was InuYasha Taisho. They're inseparable so don't even try.”

“But they're not together?”

Kirara winced at the tone of Kikyo's voice, “No. But seriously Kikyo. Don't go for him. It's unspoken. Nobody dates those two.”

Kikyo smirked and twirled a piece of hair around her finger, “Just you wait Kirara. I'll have him eating out of him hand in no time.”

The bell rang Kirara shook her head as Kikyo walked off.

“This is going to be an interesting year.”

 

Sango and InuYasha were the first class together. Sango sat in front of InuYasha and started pulling her books out for class. InuYasha pulled his notebook out and stared writing a note to Kagome before class even started. It was a miracle those two kept up in class. Sango thought at she rolled her eyes. Most of their time was spend writing back and forth to each other.

“You mind if I sit here?”

InuYasha looked up to see a girl with long black hair standing next to his desk, her books held closely to her chest. She smiled, “I'm new here.”

“Wow she's pretty”

InuYasha just stared at her, “Uhhh….”

The girl giggled, “My name is Kikyo.”

InuYasha shook himself out of his trance and gave her a heartbreaking smile, “Hey. I'm InuYasha.”

“So…can I sit here?”

“Huh? Oh…uh yeah…g-go ahead.”

Sango flipped open her notebook and rolled her eyes. Never in her life had she ever heard InuYasha trip over his words when talking to a girl. And she hoped this was the last time. It was pathetic.

Sango turned around and poked InuYasha in the head, “I need a pen.”

InuYasha reached into his backpack and pulled one out, “Here. Oh…Sango this is Kikyo. Kikyo, Sango.”

Sango nodded to the girl, and the girl smiled back. “She looks so much like Kagome, it's almost scary.”

Their teacher entered the room and everyone turned the attention to the front.

 

Lunch came and InuYasha disappeared into the crowd.

Kikyo frowned, “Where's he going?”

“Kagome.” Sango said simply.

“Kagome?”

“Yeah, they always go and get lunch. He'll be back soon.”

“Oh.”

Sango frowned, “She's really into him.”

“Oh…there's Kirara. I'll see you later Sango!”

Sango flicked her hand in Kikyo's direction then made her way to where her friends always sat.

Rin frowned when she saw Sango's face, “Something wrong Sango?”

Sango shook her head, “No. I just hate school.”

She sat next to her brother and laid her head in her arms, “I got a bad feeling about this.”

 

Kikyo stood next to the cafeteria doors and scanned the room.

“Who are you looking for?” Kirara asked before she took a bite of her apple.

“InuYasha.”

Kirara nearly choked, “I thought I told you that was a bad idea.”

Kikyo raised an eyebrow, “Hardly. I had him near drooling this morning.”

Kirara shook her head, “You scare me sometimes Kikyo.”

Kikyo smiled, “You haven't seen anything yet.”

 

InuYasha and Kagome sat down at the lunch table and passed out lunch to everyone. Suddenly Sango got to her feet and walked away, a slight frown on her face.

“What's with her?” Miroku asked.

Rin just shrugged and Kagome looked to see where her friend was going. She had stopped in the middle of the room, and was talking to a girl. By the way Sango was standing; Kagome could tell she wasn't very happy.

 

Sango saw Kikyo start to make her way over to their table and jumped up to meet her halfway.

“I'm going to stop this before it even begins.”

She stepped right in front of Kikyo, “Hey Kikyo. How's it going?”

“Oh hi Sango. I was just on my way to talk to InuYasha.

“I noticed.”

Kikyo tilted her head, “Is something wrong?”

Sango crossed her arms “Since you're new here I'll give you a heads up.”

Kikyo smiled, “Oh? About what?”

“Just a few things you need to know about being here.”

Kikyo shifted her books, “And what's that?”

“One, don't stand too close to Miroku. He's a pervert and a lecher. Good guy, but can't keep his hands to himself.”

Kikyo giggled.

“Two and this is the most important.”

Sango jerked her head back to where InuYasha was sitting, “Stay away from InuYasha.”

Kikyo frowned in confusion, “But why?”

“I'm not stupid Kikyo. I may not drool after guys like every other girl in this school, but I do know when a girl's got her eyes on a guy. No offence but InuYasha is a no-go.”

“Does he have a girlfriend?”

“No but-”

“Then there's no reason I can't have him.” Kikyo's face twisted into a smug smirk.

Sango's eyes narrowed, “I'm serious Kikyo.”

“So am I.”

“Back off!” Sango snarled.

Kikyo got right in her face, “You don't scare me Sango. I know what I want and I get what I want.”

Her eyes flickered over to InuYasha talking to Kagome, “And I want him.”

 

Kagome put a hand on InuYasha's shoulder, “Hey, you know who Sango's talking to?”

InuYasha looked over his shoulder, “Oh she's new. Her name is Kikyo.”

“You know her?”

InuYasha shrugged, “Met her in class this morning.”

“Hmmm, Sango doesn't look too happy” Kohaku commented as the two girls made their way to the table. Sango looked about two seconds away from jumping the girl in front of her.

“Watch out for her Kagome.”

Kagome looked up to see Kirara standing at her shoulder. Shippo had suddenly turned red.

“Kirara? What do you mean?”

Kirara smiled at Shippo, making him turn purple and barely shook her head, “Just watch out for her.”

She turned and left just as Sango and Kikyo got to the table.

“Hi InuYasha!” Kikyo purred, “I was hoping to run into you again!”

InuYasha smiled, “Hey there Kikyo. How are you doing?”

InuYasha turned to the table, “This is Miroku, Shippo, Sango's brother Kohaku, and Rin. You've already met Sango.” He glanced at said girl and almost cringed. If it were possible InuYasha was sure there were be fire crackling around her.

“Uh…yeah. And this is my best friend Kagome” he smiled at Kagome and Kikyo's eyes narrowed for a split second, but Miroku caught it.

“What's was that?”

“Everybody this is Kikyo.”

The group all greeted Kikyo then waited for Kagome to say something.

Was this girl bad news? Kirara's words echoed in her mind, and Sango's attitude didn't make her feel any better.

Kikyo and Kagome locked eyes and InuYasha could've sworn the temperature dropped. Finally Kagome smiled, but InuYasha could see it didn't reach her eyes, “Welcome to Shikon High Kikyo.”

Kikyo smiled back and sat down next to InuYasha.

Sango slightly groaned and took her seat next to her brother.

“This is going to be a bad year.”
