Love, Murder, and Betrayal
By: Miztikal-Dragon
Chapter one: First day part one
The alarm clock had been going off for a while before Kagome woke up, and she could hear her mother yelling from across the room.
"Kagome, honey wake up, or you'll be late for your first day of school!" The young girl sat up quickly, jumping out of bed and rushing into the bathroom. She undressed as the warm steam poured from over the top of the shower curtains. As she rinsed the shampoo from her hair she heard her mother call again.
"Kagome! Get out of the shower! You have to leave in ten minutes or else you'll be late!"
"I'm out mama!" She replied turning off the water.
Kagome draped a towel over her body as she quickly walked into her room. She struggled as she pulled on her long sleeved blouse and her navy blue skirt, then grabbing her sandals, hairbrush, and backpack as she ran down the stairs.
"Okay, I'm ready!" She said catching her breath as she frantically brushed her tangled, wet hair.
Her mother frowned as she stood over her daughter, "you're not even ready yet, now I'm going to have to drive you to school!" She glanced at her watch, "because you've just missed your bus."
The girl groaned as she slipped on her sandals, "I'm sorry mama.", then she turned and ran back up the stairs back into her room.
She tore open the door almost knocking it off their hinges and glanced around for a moment before she found what she was looking for. There, lying on the floor next to a desk was her Italian good luck horn. She grabbed it then walked over to her mirror and slowly undid the clasp, placing it around her neck. Kagome never went anywhere with out it. She watched herself as she fingered the piece of jewelry and sighed as she walked back down the stairs to her annoyed mother. Kagome blushed and bowed to her mother as an apology.
'I've only been in town for a few days and I've already made my mother mad at me.' She thought picking up her backpack, slinging it over her shoulder, then following her mother out the door.
oOo
It had been a few years since her parents had split up and each year Kagome would travel around. Her mother lived in the Untied States and her father stayed at the house in Tokyo, Japan. She absolutely hated coming to the states because none of her friends lived there and it wasn't like everyone was all that nice to the young girl either.
Kagome looked out the car window as they drove down the street in silence, 'I miss Tokyo!' she thought. She didn't understand any of the American ways, though she'd already lived there twice.
As the car turned the corner she looked up at the school building. 'It actually isn't that bad looking!' She told herself glancing at the rather large two storied brown building.
The car came to a stop and her mother smiled and started, "Okay we're here, but hurry or you'll be late." She kissed Kagome's forehead, and the young girl got out of the car.
Pulling out her schedule, Kagome looked at it for a moment. Luckily back in Tokyo her father had taught her English while she was younger, or today would be a disaster. Kagome turned and waved as her mother drove away, then let out a heavy sigh.
"Okay, so I have Geometry first hour." She whispered as she entered the gigantic building. Kagome looked around in complete awe. "Wow, it's so big!" She gasped.
Kagome pushed through the crowd of students, trying to find her class. She needed directions, so she stopped the nearest teacher and smiled.
"Uh…hello?" She said bowing to the instructor.
The lady looked annoyed and snapped, "look, I don't speak your language. I'm a very busy woman! Now if you don't mind!" the teacher pushed passed Kagome and disappeared into the crowd.
The troubled teen sighed and continued to push through the students. No sooner had she asked another girl for directions, the school bell went off, and the girl left leaving Kagome with no information.
The crowds decreased as the student's disappeared into their own classrooms. Kagome didn't know what to do, her mother was right she was going to be late for school. Kagome took off in a sprint down the hallway and practically fell over as she slid to a stop when she found a bulletin board with directions to each classroom in the school.
Smacking her forehead Kagome groaned, "No wonder I couldn't find it, my class is upstairs!"
She heard the bell ring again and she knew that she was going to be dead once she got home. Taking off her sandals she took off running down the halls again, she found it a lot easier without her tiny flip-flops and turned down another corridor. Her hair fluttered as she ran, her blouse had become un-tucked from her skirt and she was breathing heavily. Kagome read a near by sign the read 'Stairway' then pointing to the right. She smiled as it came closer, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest and her throat felt very dry.
'Why does this school have to be so big? I'll never find my class!' She thought.
Just as she was about to turn BAM, something hit her sending Kagome tumbling backwards hitting her head on the brick wall and everything turned black.
oOo
When she came to, she saw a young boy standing over her with his arms crossed over his chest glaring at her. He had long silver hair that went down to his waist, sparkling amber eyes and the palest skin she'd ever seen. He wore a black bandana and had a nine in nail T-shirt and baggy pants with chains through the belt loops. She couldn't help but just stare at his handsome features.
"What the hell are you staring at!" He said angrily watching her.
"I …uh.." She blushed and quickly looked down at herself.
He tapped his foot on the tile and sighed as he kneeled next to her and stretched out his hand, all Kagome could do was stare at his hand. A few minutes went by and he with drew his hand irritably.
"Fine, get up on your own wench!" He growled as he stood erect and brushed himself off.
Kagome looked up at him and frowned, she didn't know what to say so she just muttered in Japanese, "Dumb stupid American jackass!" under her breath as she got to her feet.
He raised an eyebrow and picked up her backpack and watched the young girl fix herself. 'Hmm I never thought that outsiders cared to much on their appearances.' He thought, but he had to admit she was a sight for sore eyes. A brand new sports car cute and only good for showing off, a trophy if you will. Slowly he eyed her from head to toe and he found nothing wrong with this young lady. Too bad she didn't know that he spoke fluent Japanese and he could perfectly understand all of her rude insults.
"Can I have my things?" She sighed looking at the boy and all he did was shake his head no as if challenging her. Kagome grew angry so she started to curse in her native language "GOD! You're such a fucking jerk! If we were in Tokyo I'd……"
He laughed as he tossed her things against the wall; he narrowed his eyes as she went to her belongings. He then came up behind her, pulling Kagome against the wall, making sure that she was facing him. He put his arm next to her head and pressed his body against the young girl's.
"You'd what?" He smiled mischievously
Taken by surprise Kagome gasped 'He can understand me!' Her mind screamed as the boy stared into her eyes.
"Next time," he said impatiently. "You should watch what you say or you're bound to get hurt!"
"Are you threatening me?" Kagome said angrily trying to push him away only to have him more roughly pushed against her.
"No, It's a promise," he whispered into her ear, then lowering his head to her neck and kissing her pulse softly.
He left as quickly as he had come and Kagome slumped to the floor and hid her face in her arms as she hugged her knees. She tried to push back the tears that swelled in her eyes, but it was no use, before long the hot tears rolled slowly down her face and she wept. She could hear the bell ring many times while she cried, but paid no attention to them. She'd sat there as the lunch bell rang and she stayed as quiet as a mouse crying and yet nobody noticed her. As students left with their other friends once again the hallways grew silent. There was a pitter-patter of feet as people scurried down the hallways to get to their classrooms.
Before the tardy bell rang Kagome heard somebody slowly walking down the hall, she paid no attention until the footsteps stopped in front of her and a young girl whispered kneeling next to Kagome.
"Are you alright?" The girl said worriedly as she put her hand on Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome looked up to see a girl about her age with brown hair and green eyes, wearing a black shirt and kapris. Chains ran down the belt loops, like that mysterious boy’s, she wore long black and red stripped socks. The girl's hair was up in multiple ponytails and covered with an odd looking hat. She even recognized were the multi colored bracelets that practically covered the girl's wrists. Wiping the tears from her eyes, Kagome nodded pulling down her skirt a bit.
"You must be the new girl that the faculty has been looking for!" The girl sighed handing Kagome a bandana.
"I'm Kagome." She sniffled wiping away more tears with the pink bandana.
"Well, I'm Stephanie but you can call me Star, all my friends do." The girl smiled as she helped up Kagome. She walked over to the backpack that lay a few feet away "here, this must be yours!"
"Yeah, it is," Kagome said taking her backpack and slinging it over one of her shoulders.
"I'm surprised," Star said smiling
"Why?" A confused Kagome replied.
The girl looked at Kagome, "Well I wasn't sure if you spoke any English and I'm really horrid with my foreign language classes as it is."
They both giggled as walked down the halls. A few minutes later Kagome had freshened up and they were on their way out of the school when Star turned and said bluntly, "Let me see your schedule."
Kagome nodded and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to the girl. Star studied the paper before handing it back to Kagome.
"You have two classes with my boyfriend Sesshomaru and four with me, so if you don't mind, we could walk you to your classes until you get situated." Star said as they stepped out into the fresh air.
Kagome didn't know what to say about this girl's generosity, but it had made her feel as though Sango was here with her. Kagome nodded and Star giggled with delight. They had gone and sat underneath an "unoccupied" tree.
"So why were you crying?" Star asked as she put a French fry in her mouth.
"Uh…oh no reason in particular." Kagome said quietly as she picked at a pepperoni on her slice of pizza that Star had bought her.
"Come on tell me Kag!" Star urged as she dipped her fries into a tiny plastic bowl of ranch dressing, "Was it because you were scared?"
"Kinda," Kagome replied pushing her food away. "Sorry I'm not really hungry."
"It's okay!" Star smiled. "But what were you afraid of? Was it the classes you're taking? Or the school in general? It's kinda big for a high school ya’ know!"
"Yeah the school's pretty big, but it wasn't it though," she sighed looking at the ground.
"What then? Oh please tell me!" Star begged pushing her food away as well.
"Ok, fine," Kagome started. "It was that I was running down the hallways trying to get to my first hour, and before I could get to the stairway I bumped into this guy, and I fell hitting my head." She droned on about what happened, but she didn't describe him for she thought that her new friend would laugh in her face.
"Wow, and then he was like gone?" The girl said wide-eyed.
"Yeah." Kagome agreed. "And that's when I started crying."
She felt completely embarrassed for telling Star, but the girl just smiled. "Don't be upset, I'd cry too if some one……"
Star turned as she saw a young boy approach. Kagome turned to see the boy and gasped at his long silver hair. 'Holy fuck it's him!' She stood up quickly and grabbed her things.
"Kagome? What's wrong?" Star said confused at her friend's actions.
"I have to ge--" She started.
"Hello ladies," the boy said sounding annoyed as he reached for Star and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. He seemed disgusted by his actions but kept an awkward smile painted on his face, "How's my lovely lady doing today?"
Star blushed and smiled, "I'm fine Sesshomaru, and this is my new friend Kagome, she's the new girl.."
He frowned a bit before the fake smile was plastered to his face once more. "N-nice to meet you.." Building up his courage he put his arm around Star and squeezed gently, "So what's for lunch?"
'This can't be the same guy.' Kagome thought to herself. Then she noticed his clothes, a green silk shirt and black slacks, and he was a little taller than earlier, he even seemed more mature.
"Uh.. there's some fries and there's food in the cafeteria." Star teased.
Obviously this gave him a reason to be rude so he let go of Star and brushed himself off sighing, "I will pass."
As Kagome drifted into her own thoughts about this mysterious boy and Star's boyfriend Sesshomaru she thought, 'They look so similar, could they be the same person?' Of course Kagome was always in a dream world and didn't even figure it out, as the answer lay behind her very own nose, or as some would put it not so far above it.
oOo
The hanyou was intrigued by this young lady he met in the hallways, 'She smelt like sweet flowers.' He pictured her standing there, her silky black hair that ended a little lower than her shoulders, her piercing gray eyes. He liked to see the fear shine through on her face, her slender legs. 'NO! Wait lets not go into this subject again!' He thought trying to think of something else, but he couldn't get this girl out of his mind, she was the only thing he could think of. He pulled a small necklace out of this pocket and looked at it. Inuyasha hadn't realized that he had it until he'd left the girl, but he wouldn't just go back up to her, he didn't know if he could control himself.
He continued to watch the girl as Star introduced her to his older brother Sesshomaru. He could sense the girl become tense, but he thought 'Why does she wince at the sight of him?' The hanyou realized that him and Sesshomaru looked similar, but there were some big differences.
Kagome smiled and settled under the tree, something was going on but she didn't know what. She'd reached up to touch her good luck horn, but it was gone. 'FUCK!' She thought as she stood up, slid her backpack straps over one of her shoulders and took off towards the school.
"I'll be back Star! I've got to find something! I'm really sorry!" Kagome yelled as she made her way inside the building to where she could last remember wearing her necklace. As she looked all around the little area by the stairway, she frowned with disappointment.
"Where could it be?" She groaned as she slumped to the ground. She sat there for a moment before she got back to her feet and slung her backpack over her left shoulder, "Today's not my day!" She sighed as she began to walk up the stairs.
A figure stood in a dark corner just a little ways from the top of the staircase. He had been watching her all day and he smiled as the girl passed him, then he spoke barely above a whisper, "Why isn't today your day?"
Kagome stopped and whirled around to see a figure step out from the corner, staring at her.
"Huh?" She said confused.
"Why isn't it your day?" He repeated as he walked towards her.
"Well that's none of your business!" Kagome said getting angry.
She could faintly feel something was wrong, though she couldn't put her finger on it she could tell trouble was near.
"Well, well, well a little bitchy today aren't we?" The boy laughed, he was only a few feet from where Kagome stood.
Kagome growled, she knew that she didn't like this boy and she wasn't going to be there with him a moment longer "Leave me alone!" She said, then turned on her heels and started to walk away.
"You shouldn't turn your back on me Kagome!" He hissed standing still.
She stopped dead in her tracks, now she was truly scared. "How did you know my name?"
"I know a lot more about you than just your name." He grinned as he disappeared down the stairs, and then he laughed, "I'll be watching you Kagome, I can promise you that."
She shivered as gooseflesh appeared all over her arms, "why can't people just leave me alone?" She whispered as she walked into her classroom.
oOo
The hanyou watched the young girl dart into the school, he just sat there in the tree his arms crossed over his chest.
"You can come down now little brother, I know you're up there." Sesshomaru growled angrily even more irritated than before.
"What do you want Inuyasha!" Star hissed, she wasn't too fond of the half demon herself.
Inuyasha jumped down out of the tree and growled "That's none of your concern bitch!" He stood up and brushed himself off and angrily looked up at his brother, who narrowed his eyes and sniffed the air.
"So you attacked that female this morning in the hallway." Sesshomaru grunted getting a little kick from his brother's shocked expression.
Star growled and lunged for Inuyasha, but reluctantly Sesshomaru held her back with his claws. "Let me go! I'm going to kick his ass!" She screamed.
'What's her problem?' Inuyasha thought cringing as Star struggled to break free, 'Did I cause this much damage already?'
The hanyou snorted and walked away. Soon the bell rang as he entered the school building. Quickly walked up the stairs to his next class. Spying a few of his friends he walked into the room and sat down next to them. They all were laughing, but he was in a foul mood.
"How long do you think she'll last Aaron?" A boy said as Inuyasha sat down in the group.
"I'd give her a month, tops if that." Another boy said grinning.
"Yeah, Naraku always gets what he wants." The first boy said looking up at Inuyasha's angry frown.
"Who's he going after now Frank?" Inuyasha growled
"Why that little hottie in the back corner of the room." Frank said pointing in her direction.
He didn't want to look for he had a clue, Inuyasha could smell her scent since he'd entered the room. He silently gulped and moved his head into Frank's directions. And there he saw her a frown plastered on her face, as if she was having a hard time figuring out a problem. 'No not her!' his mind screamed, but he looked back at his group of friends.
"What's she trying to do?"
Frank smiled, "She's trying to sign in, Richard's kept an eye on her for ten minutes now."
Inuyasha was about to get up as Star walked into the room, and apologized for being late. She saw Kagome and sat in the computer chair next to her. They both smiled and he guessed that Star had helped Kagome sign in because he saw an unfamiliar name pop up on the screen. He stared at the name and clicked on it, then a message system popped up and he began typing.

He pictured her standing there, her silky black hair that ended a little lower than her shoulders, her piercing gray eyes. He liked to see the fear shine through on her face, her slender legs. 'NO! Wait lets not go into this subject again!' He thought trying to think of something else, but he couldn't get this girl out of his mind, she was the only thing he could think of. He pulled a small necklace out of this pocket and looked at it. Inuyasha hadn't realized that he had it until he'd left the girl, but he wouldn't just go back up to her, he didn't know if he could control himself.
He continued to watch the girl as Star introduced her to his older brother Sesshomaru. He could sense the girl become tense, but he thought 'Why does she wince at the sight of him?' The hanyou realized that him and Sesshomaru looked similar, but there were some big differences.
Kagome smiled and settled under the tree, something was going on but she didn't know what. She'd reached up to touch her good luck horn, but it was gone. 'FUCK!' She thought as she stood up, slid her backpack straps over one of her shoulders and took off towards the school.
"I'll be back Star! I've got to find something! I'm really sorry!" Kagome yelled as she made her way inside the building to where she could last remember wearing her necklace. As she looked all around the little area by the stairway, she frowned with disappointment.
"Where could it be?" She groaned as she slumped to the ground. She sat there for a moment before she got back to her feet and slung her backpack over her left shoulder, "Today's not my day!" She sighed as she began to walk up the stairs.
A figure stood in a dark corner just a little ways from the top of the staircase. He had been watching her all day and he smiled as the girl passed him, then he spoke barely above a whisper, "Why isn't today your day?"
Kagome stopped and whirled around to see a figure step out from the corner, staring at her.
"Huh?" She said confused.
"Why isn't it your day?" He repeated as he walked towards her.
"Well that's none of your business!" Kagome said getting angry.
She could faintly feel something was wrong, though she couldn't put her finger on it she could tell trouble was near.
"Well, well, well a little bitchy today aren't we?" The boy laughed, he was only a few feet from where Kagome stood.
Kagome growled, she knew that she didn't like this boy and she wasn't going to be there with him a moment longer "Leave me alone!" She said, then turned on her heels and started to walk away.
"You shouldn't turn your back on me Kagome!" He hissed standing still.
She stopped dead in her tracks, now she was truly scared. "How did you know my name?"
"I know a lot more about you than just your name." He grinned as he disappeared down the stairs, and then he laughed, "I'll be watching you Kagome, I can promise you that."
She shivered as gooseflesh appeared all over her arms, "why can't people just leave me alone?" She whispered as she walked into her classroom.
oOo
The hanyou watched the young girl dart into the school, he just sat there in the tree his arms crossed over his chest.
"You can come down now little brother, I know you're up there." Sesshomaru growled angrily even more irritated than before.
"What do you want Inuyasha!" Star hissed, she wasn't too fond of the half demon herself.
Inuyasha jumped down out of the tree and growled "That's none of your concern bitch!" He stood up and brushed himself off and angrily looked up at his brother, who narrowed his eyes and sniffed the air.
"So you attacked that female this morning in the hallway." Sesshomaru grunted getting a little kick from his brother's shocked expression.
Star growled and lunged for Inuyasha, but reluctantly Sesshomaru held her back with his claws. "Let me go! I'm going to kick his ass!" She screamed.
'What's her problem?' Inuyasha thought cringing as Star struggled to break free, 'Did I cause this much damage already?'
The hanyou snorted and walked away. Soon the bell rang as he entered the school building. Quickly walked up the stairs to his next class. Spying a few of his friends he walked into the room and sat down next to them. They all were laughing, but he was in a foul mood.
"How long do you think she'll last Aaron?" A boy said as Inuyasha sat down in the group.
"I'd give her a month, tops if that." Another boy said grinning.
"Yeah, Naraku always gets what he wants." The first boy said looking up at Inuyasha's angry frown.
"Who's he going after now Frank?" Inuyasha growled
"Why that little hottie in the back corner of the room." Frank said pointing in her direction.
He didn't want to look for he had a clue, Inuyasha could smell her scent since he'd entered the room. He silently gulped and moved his head into Frank's directions. And there he saw her a frown plastered on her face, as if she was having a hard time figuring out a problem. 'No not her!' his mind screamed, but he looked back at his group of friends.
"What's she trying to do?"
Frank smiled, "She's trying to sign in, Richard's kept an eye on her for ten minutes now."
Inuyasha was about to get up as Star walked into the room, and apologized for being late. She saw Kagome and sat in the computer chair next to her. They both smiled and he guessed that Star had helped Kagome sign in because he saw an unfamiliar name pop up on the screen. He stared at the name and clicked on it, then a message system popped up and he began typing.
