InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Come Back To Me ❯ A new start an old obstacle ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: A new start an old obstacle

Kagome woke up and got ready for school like every other school day, waking at six thirty, and wide-awake for the day ahead. She had gotten ready, brushing her long raven hair and looking once in the mirror before proceeding downstairs to get a quick breakfast, which usually consisted of tea or coffee and a piece of fruit, then she left saying goodbye to her mother and grandfather as she walked out the door. As she had just gotten outside, she heard a familiar voice behind her, as she closed the door behind her she turned to greet it. "Good morning Kagome! Ready to go?" she said with an impatient look to her face, already walking toward the shrine steps.

 

Kagome was a simple girl, pretty and nice. She grew up on a shrine, surrounded by it's own forest. Inside the shrine was housed the Bone Eaters' Well, and the largest Goshinboku in Tokyo. She was used to living there and liked the pure innocence of it. She helped on the weekends with up keep, and tours for tourists. But little did she know that do today was the beginning of the last days of her carefree life as a shrine maiden.

"Hey Sango, yea, I'm ready, we have plenty of time to get to school, you do know," Kagome calmly said as she walked toward the girl. Sango, Kagome's best friend, had dark brown hair and deep brown eyes, along with her light-medium toned skin. Her hair was about the same length as Kagome's only a bit longer. Unlike Kagome's very wavy hair, her hair was straight and usually held back in a low ponytail. The only thing that separated them was Sango's lack of feminism; she was a good tom-boy through and through, where as Kagome was a little more girly, they made quite a team when it came to some of their adventures. As they walked, Kagome mentioned that Sango was walking a lot faster and that she couldn't keep up.

"Well, I wouldn't have had to if you didn't take so long," she claimed giving the other a cross look to her companion. She slowed for her friend and continued, "I really wanted to get to school early, and I wanted to check out the new guy that we have in our grade." Kagome rolled her eyes at the comment of boys. "Just because you do not want a boyfriend or aren't interested, that doesn't mean I can't be."

"You know what?" Kagome argued, "He'll just end up being an immature baby, just like the rest of them." And with saying that she pointed to a group of guys setting off a stink bomb behind a group of girls, as they walked down the street past them. "And in twenty minutes, they will be hanging all over the guys like they are millionaires. There's no point in dating guys like that, I will wait and have someone more mature, like me."

"You know you're really just in denial with jealous impulses," mocked her friend back, "just because you are too picky with the guys that ask you out! You know the other kids call you the ice princess for a reason." She gave a sideward glance to her friend to see her reaction, she could see it all right, and she was getting all red in the face with anger.

"What are you, a stinking shrink? I know what they call me, and I am NOT jealous," she protested, "By the way, what would I be jealous about? I don't even have time for a boyfriend. I have to think of school, graduating and college. I can't even begin to think about a boyfriend at this important moment in my life. The only reply from Sango was 'Sorry, okay? EXCUSE ME!' They walked into the front yard of the school, and said hi to some of their other friends.

 

As they entered the lobby of their school they glanced over at a small gathering of girls. "Uh oh Sango, looks like we're a little late, your dream guys already has a following." she laughed at her own comment. But as she finished laughing her friend had grabbed her arm and taken off towards where the girls were standing. 'This is the first step to losing sanity I tell you!' Kagome thought being dragged by her friend.

”Come on Kagome it won't be that bad at all!" as Sango pushed her way to the front of the girls. "EXCUSE ME!! COMING THROUGH! OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!!" Sango said in a vigorous loud voice, pushing through until she stood in front of the new guys. Sango made a sly catcall, whistling, to the two before her. She looked them both over, like they were her prey. As she finished looking them over, making her judgments, she introduced herself, "Hello, My name is Sango! What's yours?" she said this extending her hand to greet them. The first one to jump forward, literally, was a black haired boy. As he stepped in front of her, he grasped both of his hands around hers.

 

His hair was short and his face was bright with his smile, he wore dark colors and his shirt was somewhat tight, not like she was looking of course. She could see he was in shape and a little muscular. She was taken back and looked at him cautious and skeptically.

"What a beautiful name for such a goddess, hello, my name is Miroku. I have a favor to ask you." he gazed at her in wonderment as the shocked girl muttered an 'okay…' "I would like to know if you would go out with me, marry me, and someday bear my child." At first the girl was stunned and flattered, but after that last part about the child and marriage she took her free hand and knocked the boy unconscious. With that she turned herself to the other boy who had rolled his eyes at his friend who was now lying on the floor. She calmed down and spoke, "And your name would be?"

"Um" he glanced at his sleeping companion. "I'm InuYasha. Nice to meet you, um Sango was it?"

 

He was about the same height as his friend, and way more muscular, like he was a kick boxer, or something. He wore jeans with a red top that hugged him tightly. His hair was black and his eyes were violet. But she got this uneasy feeling that they weren't his natural color. They didn't match his medium complexion that wasn't common among most Japanese. She came back to reality, nodded and shook his hand, when she had realized, she had forgotten her friend, she stopped and started looking for Kagome.

"How rude of me," she had found her bud sheepishly running away from where she stood. "Um hold on a sec, okay?" InuYasha looked at her confused and watched her as she fetched her friend. As they came into the clearing his eyes widened. Sango had yanked her now blushing friend in front of him. "This is my friend" she was cut off by the boy's voice.

"Kagome?" he spoke looking at the blushing girl as she glanced at the ground. Miroku had started to gain consciousness and looked at the situation in front of him. He stared too but with a malicious grin on his face.

"Hello," she blushed to an even redder shade then before, "Miroku and I-InuYasha." InuYasha advanced to her and put his hand upon her, cupping her cheek and then led his hand underneath her chin to bring her to look at him. She tilted her head away from him and became a few shades redder.

Miroku hadn't given up on Sango and started to try to coax her on. "Well, we have just moved from Kyoto," he began his road to another slap in the face, "and I would love you to show me some of the sites, your know places you like to hang out, like your bedroom for a great example." Of course she didn't slap him she kicked him where it counted. But when she was done she turned to the other two. Kagome just stood there trying to avoid a conversation with InuYasha. She started to become embarrassed and turned away from InuYasha. Sango confused at everything stepped in the middle.

"You three know each other?" she elbowed her friend, "And why didn't you ever introduce me?" looking at Miroku up and down, "Or at least WARN me?" As she finished Kagome grabbed her, running away from the boys. Behind her she heard her friend yell to the two guys `Hope to see each other later!' All Kagome thought was 'I really hope not!'

"InuYasha, was that who I think it was?" Miroku said. InuYasha glanced at him, like he had said the stupidest thing on earth.

"Of course it was, you twit! I didn't know that she went to this school," he said with a happy, cheerful pitch gaining a weird smirk across his face. Then he watched as she disappeared out of site around the corner, "Don't worry we will see her again. It has been a while."

"Yea," Miroku said finishing the conversation. "And her friend wasn't that bad looking either." Sure, Kagome was a somewhat popular girl, I mean; almost every guy had asked her out at least once, especially this guy named Hojou (just thinking about him gave Kagome shivers, he was so boring…). The only thing was she may have been what they wanted for a date, but she still wasn't that well known through the school, and frankly she didn't have that many friends.

 

But as she rounded the corner and stopped to catch her breath she lost her usual composer and was still red as she leaned again the wall and slumped down holding her cheek. I mean, she was known as the ice queen for a reason, she didn't want a boyfriend, and he was the reason why. Panting out of breath was her loud and right now obnoxiously inquisitive companion sitting next to her, Kagome glared over at Sango as if she was going to pounce on her and strangle her at that moment.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?" she yelled as people near her stared. All Sango could do was laugh at the shades of red and then purple she was turning. Then she spoke with the utmost sarcasm.

"What?" she trying not to laugh again in her friend's face, "You mean, make you look like a fool in front of your following!" she snorted as she finished pointing over her shoulder. Standing behind them was a bunch of gawking boys that everyday followed Kagome around to ask her out.

"Look! I'm not ready for your little dating service!" she said blowing steam out of her inflamed nostrils.

"Well, it seems you know each other already so what's the big deal?" she looked hurt as she said this, "And besides you didn't even tell me you knew a really hot guy that I could totally get along with, sure I mean he is a lecher, but it could work out.” Thinking about what transpired she corrected herself, “Um… maybe not. Besides you could use some melting, ice queen." There was a slight pause and then hey both broke out in laughter as the first bell rang for the beginning of school, they parted their separate ways to class.

 

The day went by quickly, which was good for Kagome because she couldn't stand the stares she was getting across the room from InuYasha. She didn't even need to look in his direction to know he was staring at her. His eyes pierced through her and her soul, burning her heart and lungs like she couldn't breathe. But he was her past; he was not a part of her life anymore. She would try not to let him be.
