1- The New Girl
The early morning breeze blew happily as the little blue car parked in the school parking lot. The driver side door swung open as the young man driving the car hopped out, a scowl imbeded into his facial features. His long silver mane swayed gently with the wind as he went around the car to get the bookbags from the trunk. He grabbed one and tossed the other to the girl that got out of the passenger seat. She caught the large bag with ease and closed her door.
"Thanks for the ride, Inuyasha," she told his as he came around and closed his door.
"Feh. Only because you conned me into it," he replied scathingly. "Next time I'm not falling for the 'car broke down' act."
"It did!" she exclaimed as they started toward the hellhole they called a school.
"A mirror breaking off the side is hardly what I would call 'unsafe to ride in', Sango!" Inuyasha hollered at her.
"Whatever. I can't believe your mad! I'm your cousin, for heaven's sake!"
It was true. Sango was his only remaining living relative, except for his half brother. She had always been there with him through everything. When his parents passed away, he lived with Sango and her family. Three years ago, however, Sango's home mysteriously caught on fire, killing her parents and her little brother. They moved into seperate apartments a couple miles apart and saw eachother frequently. Sango was one of the few people the inu-hanyou trusted, which was saying something, considering his stubborn attitude.
They went into the age old high school and blazed a trail for their homeroom. Futal High was definentally one of the worst schools in the district. Not because of the teachers or the building or anything like that. No, it was because of the students. Futal High was the only school in the area that allowed for demons to attend classes. There had been laws passed for the equal rights of demons, of course, but that didn't change people's opinions. So many parents felt uncomfortable with their children in class with the 'vicious creatures' that they confined all the demons in the city limits to this school, plus any humans who had enough guts to enroll. Sango was one of those humans, but she grew up with a half demon as a cousin, so it didn't bother her. Besides, she could definently stand up for herself. She had her blackbelt to thank for that.
As they entered the room, they heard a farmiliar voice from the back corner of the room. "Inuyasha! Sango, my love! Good morning!" Miroku yelled from across the room, making Sango's cheeks invent new shades of red. She stalked over and hit him over the head with her bag.
"Moron, I'm not your 'love'!" she told him heatedly.
"Not yet anyway, you just wait," he replied to her still-blushing face as she stormed off. "Hey Inuyasha."
"Hey." He looked over at his cousin, sitting in her seat in the back row. "Why do you say that everyday to her? You know she doesn't like you."
"Ahhh, but see, the thing is she doesn't know that she's in love with me yet," Miroku replied, trying to sound wise. It didn't work. Inuyasha starred, confused. "It does't matter. With a body like that, I'll wait forever and a day for her to come to her senses. Such a wonderful body..." He spaced out for a moment before moving toward the back of the room to sit infront of Sango.
'That coming from a preacher's son... But he always was a little off' Inuyasha thought as he went to sit in the seat to Sango's left, putting him in the far corner of the room. Miroku and Inuyasha had been close for as long as either could remember. There was a unspoken agreement that neither would turn their back on the other. It was as simple as that. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango had been the best of friends forever. In Inuyasha's opinion, they were the only friends he needed.
He hated people who's only goal in life was to be popular, especially since everything that happened last year with his ex-girlfriend. She accused him of cheating on her, and then went out and cheated on him with his arch rival, Kouga. Kouga was captain of the football team, prom king, class president... everything Inuyasha despised. She broke off their two year relationship over a rumor, and now she would walk down the hall, holding hands with Kouga. Just thinking of the wench made his blood boil. Kikyo was his first love, and after that he swore off dating.
The bell rang and everyone else got in their seats. The teacher went to the front of the room. "Settle down!" the old man yelled, at the same time emitting a column of flames from his mouth to get the unrully seinors attention. 'I had to teach high school...' he thought in pity of himself. "Okay," Mr. Totosai said as they immediately calmed down. "Today we have a new student joining our school, so please make her feel welcome, and boys, keep your claws to yourselves!" he shot at the wolf demons who were snickering in anticipation. "Okay, you can come in dear," he said to the door.
It opened slightly and a small firgured girl walked in. Her raven black hair fell down her back and her chocolate brown eyes looked extremely nervous. She walked to the front of the room. Inuyasha, not paying attention to anything the old man had said, suddenly sniffed a scent that smelled like heaven to him. It was a soothing mix of vanilla and sugar, relaxing him to his very core. He slowly opened his eyes to see the pretty young woman near the front and made eye contact with her. At that moment, it was like the rest of the world dissappeared around them, leaving only the two of them to look into eachother's eyes. He held her gaze for what seemed like hours, even though it was only about three seconds.
"Hello, I'm Kagome Hiragashi. I just moved here from Shinbuku," she said softly as she looked toward the floor to get away from his beautiful eyes. Her cheeks turned a light shade of red from embarrassment.
"Okay, Ms. Hiragashi, please take a seat infront of the boy with the furry white ears near the back and welcome to Futal High," Mr. Totosai told her gently as she made her way back to the seat infront of Inuyasha. His thoughts got more clouded with every step she took, her relaxing scent coming ever closer. She sat down and silently looked around her making eye contact with Miroku and Sango. After a moment, she twisted her head to look at Inuyasha. Instantly she turned back around, red creeping up her cheeks when she relized the inu-hanyou had been starring at her.
"Now I've got some papers to grade, so talk amongst yourselves for the remainder of the bell," Mr. Totosai announced as he sat at his desk.
Instantly the room filled with chatter as desks were swung around to better face people and a low hum of music came from near the front of the room. "So," Miroku said as her turned to the new girl seated next to him. "How do you like Tokyo so far, Kagome?"
She turned to him, surprised to hear her name. Her cheeks went red again as she twisted in her seat to look straight at Miroku. "Oh yes, the city is wonderful, so lively. The school seems nice too. By the way, whats your name?" she answered all in one breath.
"I'm Miroku, and I was wondering if you would consider bearing my children," he told her as he took both her hands in his. Suddenly Inuyasha felt a growl trying to escape from deep within his chest. He surpressed it, trying to figure out why he felt so strongly for the girl infront of him, who at the moment was shocked into silence.
BOOM! A fist made contact with the side of Miroku's face, making him lose his grip on Kagome's hands. Sango's eyes were filled with the fire of anger as she admired her handy work when she saw a purple lump swell up on Miroku's left cheek bone. 'That'll show him...' she thought scathingly.
"What was that for, Sango!" he said, sounding hurt in more than one way.
"Maybe I'm tired of you asking every pretty girl you meet to have your children, you lecher!"
'I'm just glad she punched him before I lost control...' Inuyasha thought. 'Why did I feel so... defensive when he held her hands? I don't know her at all, and yet I feel such a strong bond with her.' His thoughts wandered off as he sensed an immense blush on her pretty features. As he looked at her face, he felt his own cheeks reddening, to his surprise.
"I appologise for him," Sango said as she turned to Kagome, after she got her rage under control. "My name is Sango. It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise," she replied. "That was one heck of a punck, by the way. Do you weight train, or something?"
Sango smiled. She was a very humble person, but her fighting, that was something she was proud of. "Yep. I'm a third-degree black belt," she replied with a hint of pride in her voice.
"Wow, that's amazing! You must have been at it for a long time," Kagome gushed.
"Oh, stop it!" Sango said happily. "By the way, the dog eared demon behind you is my cousin, Inuyasha."
Kagome's cheeks flushed at the thought of the guy behind her. When she had walked into the room and made eye contact with him, it was as if he looked into her soul. She had felt such a strong connection to the inu-hanyou, and it scared her senseless. But yet... it felt so right. As if with him, she was safe from anything that could come her way. She needed to feel that feeling, especially since the incident. That's the reason she moved here. But that was in the past, this was the start of her new life. She turned to look him directly in the eyes.
When Sango said his name, he snapped out of the daze he was in. He had been thinking about that moment when she came in. When their gaze met for the first time, it was like he was floating. She was beautiful, and it didn't hurt that her scent was heavenly. All he wanted to do was take this girl that he barely knew and wrap his arms around her. When she turned to look at him again, he was startled. 'She's much prettier up close' he thought as he looked into her eyes. They held a sparkle in the deep brown that excited all his senses. Her raven colored hair flowed gracefully off her shoulders, tickling her lower back. The creamy skin of her face made the blush reaching across her cheeks more prominent. She wore a chain that hung down to her collar bone with a large lilac-colored stone on it. He looked pensive as he was getting drunk from her scent.
"Hi there, Inuyasha," she said carefully, testing out his name. It rolled off her tongue, making her heart jump into her throat. She was having a hard time remembering to breathe. He was absolutely goregous. The white dog ears on to of his head instinctively twiched with every sound in the room. His waist length silvery-white hair shined from the sun beams streaming through the open window next to him. And those eyes... they sent shivers down her spine the first time she saw them. They shined with a golden amber color that refracted all the light that hit them. She could tell his build was good, but she really didn't care. It was that feeling she got from looking at him that drew her. Even though he was a hanyou, she had never felt a deeper level of trust. 'Wait, I just met the guy! Snap out of it, Kagome!' she told herself furiously. But still... the feeling that she felt...
"Hi, Kagome," he replied softly. Sango and Miroku looked stunned at the gentleness in Inuyasha's voice. He had never had that tone of voice, not even with Kikyo. They looked into eachother's eyes, as if making sure the person they saw infront of them was real.
Suddenly, the school bell rang, sending them back to reality. "Hey Kagome, where do you go next?" Sango asked, touching her shoulder lightly. She lightly shook her head and turned around to pull out her schedule.
"Um... I think calculus, maybe?" she said unsurely as she looked at the piece of paper.
Miroku took the paper gently and told her, "Yep, you have calculus with Inuyasha. Sango and I go to advanced chemistry next. It looks like we won't see either of you until lunch."
Kagome's eyes widened. She had to spend all morning with him! 'I can barely form a sentence when I look at him! How am I supposed to do math, especially when I'm already bad at it?' she thought as she stood and gathered her books. She took a deep breath and turned to him. "So, where do we go, Inuyasha?" she replied as cheerfully as she could with her heart in her throat.
He looked startled at her forwardness, but immediately erased the expression as soon as it came on to his face. "Come on, I'll show you. Follow me. See you guys," he said to Miroku and Sango as he stepped toward the door with Kagome on his heels.
"Have fun." Miroku called sarcastically.
"Feh," he replied.
When they got into the hall and made sure Inuyasha was nowhere near by (those ears of his had killed many secrets and private conversations), they made their way to their class on the opposite end of the school.
"Did you sense the tension between Inuyasha and Kagome back there?" Sango questioned.
"You could cut it with a butter knife," he replied. "Our young inu-hanyou has seemed to take a liking to the little lady. When I held her hand I heard him growling," he chuckled.
Sango smiled. "You did too?"
"It's true love at first sight."
"Inuyasha's not romanic enough for that to happen," replied Sango.
Suddenly a blush went furiously up her cheeks as she turned and slapped Miroku, sending him and his books flying. "You pervert! Quit feeling me up!" she yelled at she stalked off toward a set of stairs.
Miroku sighed and picked up his books. 'She'll come around eventually' he thought as her watched her go up the stairs.
The early morning breeze blew happily as the little blue car parked in the school parking lot. The driver side door swung open as the young man driving the car hopped out, a scowl imbeded into his facial features.
