[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
She stands there looking at the boy she just punched. “How could you do this to me Koga?” Rage easily seen in her smoky blue eyes.
“Look Kagome, i-it just happened.”
“How original.” A cold look came over her eyes, “who was is? Who did you sleep with Koga!?”
As if he had been pushed, Koga took an uneasy step back. Kagome stepped forward, “Come on Koga! Spit it out!” After an awkward pause Koga finally found his voice, “Kikyo Katakura.” The young man closed his eyes waiting to be hit again, but it never came, only the sound of his front door slamming shut. Koga ran an unsteady hand through his long brown hair, “Shit.”

It was the first day of her junior year, and Kagome was sitting on the steps in front of school waiting for the bell to ring.
“Hi Kagome!” Sango’s bubbly voice broke Kagome’s concentration.
Fumbling with her sleeve she turned around, “Hi Sango!" as the two teens hugged, Sango let out a yelp, "Ow!" When the girls pulled Sango asked, “What was that?
Kagome looked down at her feet.
“What’s in your hand Kagome?”
Slightly stepping away Kagome let the item fall, “What’s what?” Kagome asked holding up her now empty hands. Just then a cloud moved letting the sunshine on the object in question. Sango grabbed the item and looked at Kagome, anger and confusion clearly seen in her deep brown eyes, “A razor blade? What the fuck are you doing with a…” Sango’s words trailed off as she remembered her friend messing with her arm when she had walked over to her.
“Damn it Kagome! Let me see your fucking arm!” Angrily, Sango began walking towards a panicking Kagome, who was now crying.
“Look Sango, it-its just the Koga hurt me really bad. Please you have to understand.” As Kagome backed up farther, she tripped falling onto Miroku, who was sitting on the steps. Sango quickly caught his attention, “Don’t let her go Miroku, I need to see her damn arm!”
Miroku sat there holding Kagome as her body began to shake from the force of her crying, “Please, Sango. Just let me go.” Tears rolled down her lightly colored cheeks.
Sango lifted the sleeve of Kagome’s sweater, both her and Miroku’s eyes widened when they saw the light brown scars and new bleeding cuts on Kagome’s fair skin.
Before either could get a word in edge wise, Kagome broke free and ran to her first class.


~*~ 5 minutes later ~*~


“Sorry Miss Katakura.” Kagome said as she walked into literature class a few seconds late.
As she walked down the aisle to her seat, all she could think was,
‘How could I have been so stupid! Cutting on school grounds when I know Sango and Miroku are here.’
As Kagome sat down all she wanted to do was go home, curl up on her bed, and cry.
“Alright class, take out your summer essays and…”
The teacher’s words faded away as Kagome suddenly found herself rather tired.


~*~ 40 minutes later ~*~


“Miss Higarashi? Miss Higarashi!”
As Kagome slowly awoke she realized class was over. “Oh no!”
“Oh yes Miss Higarashi. Class is over and you didn’t bother to stay awake.
Kagome was in shock, “ Miss Katakura, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what came over me.” Understanding and regret showed in the older woman’s warm eyes, “I did manage to collect your essay but, I’m sorry Kagome, you have detention today.”
Kagome nodded in understanding, “Yes Miss Katakura. I’ll be there.”


~*~ Lunch later that day ~*~


“Detention!”
Kagome held the cafeteria pay phone away from her ear, “Yes mom. I forgot my homework.”
Kagome’s mother was livid, "They can’t give you detention for not having your homework Kagome, it’s the first day of school!”
‘Just what I need, telling my mom a lie.’ Kagome took in a deep breath, “Well, mom it was summer homework so we should have had it today.”
“Fine Kagome” She heard her mother sigh, “What time will you be home?”
Kagome had to really think about this, did she want to go home right after detention at 4:15, or hang out with Sango and Miroku afterwards?
“Um… I’ll be home at 8:00 mom. I’m going to hang out with my friends.”
There was a long pause before her mom answered, “Ok Kagome, but no later.”
“Thanks! Bye mom.” Kagome hung up the phone and ran to go ask Sango if she wanted to hang out tonight.

~*~

Sango stared at Kagome when she walked up. The silence was unbearable, and after a short stare down the girls embraced one another tightly.
“Kagome, I’m so sorry Koga did this to you!”
“Sango, I didn’t know what to do!”
The girls pulled apart and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. “Kagome, promise me one thing, ok?”
Kagome furiously nodded her head.
“Alright Kagome. Promise me you won’t cut yourself anymore.”
“I’ll try Sango. I really will try to stop.”
The two sat down at the lunch table and Kagome asked Sango if she could hang out tonight.
“Well I can’t. Me and Miroku have to go to his parents’ anniversary party tonight.” Rejection could be seen in Kagome’s eyes, and noticing this Sango said in a soft voice, “I could always cancel and we could hang out instead.” Kagome’s head snapped up, “No! You and Miroku just started dating. I don’t want to cause trouble already. Go have fun. I’ll just go home instead.”
Sango bit her bottom lip, “You sure?”
Kagome gave off a small laugh, “Totally.” The two friends hugged goodbye as the bell for fourth period rang.


~*~ Detention ~*~


“Great detention and then nothing to do for the next four hours.” Kagome was so busy talking to herself that she walked into someone and fell on her butt.
“Hey watch it!”
When Kagome looked up to see whom she bumped into, her heart beat faster; he was the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen at this school. He had long silvery white hair, that reached mid back, pulled into a lose ponytail, eyes the color of melting gold, and from where she was sitting he looked like he was well built.
Kagome seemed to get lost in these guys eyes, but someone clearing their throat, brought her to her senses.
“Can’t you talk?”
“Um…hi. I’m Kagome. Who are you? I’ve never seen you around school.”
The young man stared at her, ‘she’s beautiful. What are you saying Inuyasha snap out of it!’ He seemed to stumble with his words, “Um, my name is Inuyasha, as if it is any of your business. And I just moved here so that’s way you have never seen me.”
“Well geez! You don’t have to be so rude!”
A look of confusion crossed over his eyes, “Rude! About what?”
Kagome quickly got off the ground and dusted herself off, “About the whole ‘any of your business’ thing.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes, “Look I’m sorry if you took that the wrong way. I guess what I meant to say was…hi.” Inuyasha stuck out his hand to shake her’s but Kagome seemed to be in any other world.
“Kagome? What are you staring at?”
Kagome snapped out of her daze, ‘ God quit staring at his eyes!’
“Um, sorry. Look we better go sit down before we have detention again tomorrow/” The two walked to their seats, which just happened to be next to each other.


~*~ 45 minutes later ~*~


“Kagome! Inuyasha! Detention Tuesday as well if you keep laughing so loudly!” The two looked at each other, restraining laughter, amusement dancing in their eyes, “Yes, Mr. Tanma.” They replied in unison. As Mr. Tanma walked away, Kagome looked at Inuyasha and burst into laughter. With a quizzical look in his eyes, Inuyasha looked at Kagome who was now red in the face, “Kagome, um… I don’t have anything to do after detention today so I was wondering if ya know, me and you could go hang out or something.”
Kagome had to calm herself down before she could answer him. And a war seemed to be raging inside her head, ‘should I go and have fun with Inuyasha, a guy I just met, or go home and cry my eyes out about Koga?’
Then it hit her, ‘did he just ask me out on a date?’ Inuyasha stared at Kagome, a look of worry was in Inuyasha’s amber eyes, “Um, Kagome, are you going to answer me anytime soon? Well I mean if you don’t want to I could just go home and talk to my girlfriend online.” Kagome looked at Inuyasha and with that one word she realized if she did hang out with him it was only as friends. ‘I guess I’m cool with that. I mean he did just move her and there’s no way I could like him that fast, or could I?’
Kagome blinked and opened her mouth to answer Inuyasha, but before she could that word popped back into her head, ‘girlfriend.’
“Inuyasha, this girlfriend, is she a friend or something more?” Inuyasha seemed to forget he told her about his girlfriend, “Girlfriend? Oh well yeah Kikyo is something more. I guess you could say that.”
“Kikyo!!” Inuyasha fell out of his chair. Kagome was fuming, “You know Kikyo? That…that slut!”
Inuyasha didn’t know whether to be angry or upset. He chose concerned, “Yeah I know Kikyo. I just said I did didn’t I?”
“Don’t get smart with me Inuyasha! I… I just don’t like Kikyo.”
Inuyasha was puzzled by Kagome’s aggression towards Kikyo. ‘Are those tears welling in her eyes?’ Inuyasha placed his hand on Kagome’s arm, “Kagome, why are you crying? Was it something I said? I didn’t know you had such bad feeling about Kikyo. What did she do to you?”
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, who was now standing in front of her, concern, sadness, and pain filling the depths of his amber eyes. Kagome took a deep breath, she never told anyone the whole story, not ever Sango. “My ex-boyfriend, Koga, slept with a girl named Kikyo two months ago. But I mean it might be a different Kikyo. Unless her name was Kikyo Kata…”
“…kura.” Inuyasha finished her sentence, angry rising in his voice, “Katakura. Kikyo Katakura?”
‘Oh no.’ Staring into Inuyasha’s hard eyes Kagome answered, “Yeah, Her sister Kaede teaches literature at this school. Inuyasha are you ok?”
Inuyasha nodded his head, the lose ponytail falling out, “Yeah come on detention is over. Let’s go grab something to eat.” He grabbed her hand and led her out the school parking lot.


~*~


“Kagome balked, “A motorcycle? You want me to get on that?” She took a step back.
“Yeah how else are we going to get there?” Inuyasha smiled toothily.
“I don’t know…a bus?”
Inuyasha ignored her sarcasm and picked her up and carried her over to the motorcycle and sat her down. Plopping down in front of her he turned around and said, “Now we can go. You better hang on, because if you fall I’m not stopping.”
Kagome punched his arm and rolled her eyes, “If I fall I’m taking you down with me asshole.” Inuyasha laughed, “Language little girl, language.” With that said he peeled out of the parking lot and headed down the street 10 miles to fast.
“Inuyasha are you crazy! Slow down!”
The bike came to a sudden stop causing Kagome to slam into Inuyasha’s back, “We’re here.”
Kagome scrambled off the motorcycle and stared at Inuyasha, “I am never getting on that thing again!”
Inuyasha just laughed, “then I guess you’re walking home. Come on let’s go eat I’m hungry.”
