` Here I am ` Thought 16 year old Kagome Higurashi as she walked into the school grounds of Shikon High, carrying an overstuffed yellow backpack as she went. Her eyes wandered to different groups in the schoolyard as she mentally tried to place each one in the proper category. As she looked over at a table by the lovely looking fountain in the middle of the schoolyard, she could tell that those specific were what everyone called “ The Jocks/Preps” or in Kagome's point of view, “The Whores/Players”.

 

As Kagome took a look by the students sitting by the garbage dumpsters, she knew right away that they were “ The Nobody's or Nerds”. Kagome herself was very smart, but she had never been considered a nerd. As Kagome looked closer, she could tell there was a huge commotion about something. A group of circling kids and taunting words and excited yelling told her everything.

 

She rushed over to the area and peered over everyone to see what everyone referred to as a “Nerd” getting the stuffing beaten out of him. Her eyes flashed with anger. Why did Jocks pick on smart people? Were they so unhappy with their own lives that they had to make someone else unhappy with theirs? She pushed her was through the crowd and stood in front of the winded boy being beaten on, her expression was grim.

 

“ Leave him alone.” Kagome said firmly. Everyone gasped and the boy looked up at her with a horror-filled expression. Why? Kagome couldn't fathom because this jerk in front of her was just another regular student here at Shikon High.

 

“ Make me wench, this is my business and I don't think I'm going to step aside when a freshmen tells me too. “ The jock sneered and began to advance on the defenseless boy on the ground once more.

 

“ Why pick on someone who isn't worth your time? Don't you have bigger fish to fry?” Kagome asked sourly as she yet again intercepted the jock, keeping him from beating up the boy on the ground.

 

“ Listen wench, unless you want your years here to be a living hell, I suggest you stay out of it, I Naraku would personally see fit your punishment for interrupting something of mine that needs attending too. “ He said through gritted teeth. “ Besides, you wouldn't want that pretty face all battered up now would you?”

 

This Naraku character really disgusted Kagome. He was an ass and acted quite foolishly. A moron. Kagome had hoped the kid on the ground had taken the hint when she nudged him with her foot, to get out of here before something really awful happened. As she looked back, indeed the kid had and ran way.

 

“ You bitch! You were just buying him time!” Naraku seethed with a deep malice in his tone of voice as he decided to advance on Kagome now. There were awed whispers as the students around her stared at Naraku with fear in their eyes. Kagome knew that was what gave him is power around here, his reputation made people act like his slaves and it only infuriated Naraku more when he realized that she wasn't frightened of him one bit.

 

Kagome turned a stalked away, leaving a very pissed off and sputtering Naraku to deal with his own problems again. She went and sat down under a tree in the field and pulled out a book from her backpack called A Feudal Fairy Tale and began reading peacefully. She had only read about one sentence of it when a group of people surrounded her. A girl with magenta eyeliner on and an attitude that said don't mess with me, a boy with a purple shirt on and black baggy pants, he had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes that told Kagome not to let her guard down, then there was another boy with strange silver hair and honey colored eyes.

 

“ My name is Sango, this idiot behind me is Miroku. “ She paused as she indicated to the boy with the purple shirt on. “ And that guy over there is Inuyasha. “ Sango finished with a slight smile.

 

Kagome stood up and introduced herself. “ I'm Kagome, nice to meet you.”

 

“ Hey, you do know that Naraku is mess with your years here now, don't you?” Miroku said as he inched his way closer to Kagome. She watched him with wary eyes and went rigid as she felt a hand pat her bottom.

 

“ Pervert!” Kagome screamed and whirled around, her open hand left a fine print across his cheek. She heard Sango sigh and grumble about something, and turned her attention back to her.

 

” What does he mean about making my years here a mess.” She asked with curiosity. Sango motioned her to walk with them and Kagome did as she explained Naraku's reputation and characteristics .

 

“ I'm not afraid of him, if he's trying to intimidate him, it's not going to work. “ Kagome grumbled.

“ Heh, you'll be afraid of him just like every other person in this damn school. “ The guy named Inuyasha spoke up.

 

“ Inuyasha was it? Well for your information Inuyasha, I'm not scared of him one bit, oh and another thing, I don't like being called a wench!” Kagome exclaimed firmly, her eyes flashed with anger.

 

“ Whatever wench.” He said without further comment.

 

Later in the day, around lunchtime, Kagome sat with Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha(much to her distaste) and actually had made friends. This school was rather exciting to her, but she couldn't understand why Naraku posed such a threat.

 

“ So Kagome, do you do any other activities besides pissing Naraku off?” Miroku asked casually.

 

Kagome laughed quietly and nodded. Of course she had many other talents other than that. For one thing, she had taken many years of singing lessons, even though she didn't care for singing in front of people. Kagome was dead shy when it came to having to sing in front of people she didn't know. Kagome could also dance and had taken lesson for that too, ballet and the up-beat and exciting hip-hop.

 

“ Yeah actually, I've taken singing lessons for six years, and I've danced for five, mostly hip-hop but ballet is in there too…” Kagome replied and stopped and looked at them as an awkward silence began to brew. “ What?” She asked.

 

“ We've been looking for a singer, we have a band called (No name yet, Help?), our singer was, taken care of.” Sango said with a chuckle.

 

“ I couldn't, I mean, I can't.” Kagome stumbled nervously. How could she sing in a band when she couldn't even sing in front of her own mother?

 

“ Well if you change your mind, we're holding auditions at Sango's place tomorrow.” Miroku chimed in.

 

“ The wench probably can't even sing. “ Inuyasha muttered with a cocky smirk.

 

“ I'll be there! “ Kagome replied quickly, her glare was shot Inuyasha's way, making him gulp quietly. It sure didn't lack intensity, that's for sure! Inuyasha was beginning to take interest in this one, but he would never tell so.
