InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Promises ❯ the first day of school ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. (this is getting boring)

Hello again. I hope you like this chapter. I wasn't sure of what I was going to write. By the way, I'll probably update twice every week, probably during the weekend, but don't expect anything. EVIL SCHOOL!!!

On with the story!

Chapter Two:

"Brrrring!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Grrrrr……..stupid alarm clock, it's only…7:50! I'm going to be late for school!" (A/N: The school starts at 8:00)

Kagome raced out of her room and pounded dangerously at the wooden door that led to the bathroom.

"Manten! Hurry up! I'm going to be late for school! Your hair is good enough! Get Out!!!"

The absurd demon casually walked out of the bathroom, leaving a disgusting, strong smell of cologne behind him.

"Uuhhh, that's nasty!" screeched Kagome, as she slammed the door behind her.

Five minutes later, a hyper Kagome popped out of the bathroom and rushed down the stairs.

"Why didn't you guys wake me up? Now I'm going to be late for my first day of class! Grrrr!!!"

"Ye can't rely on us to wake ye up," replied Kaede, the orphanage's "step mom" as you might call it.

But the old lady's statement met deaf ears as Kagome grabbed a piece of toast and ran off to the local high school, Sengoku High.

"Sango! Miroku! Wait up!" she yelled at her friends.

They waited for her at the corner. As she neared the couple, a ringing slap could be heard throughout the neighborhood.

"MIROKU!!! HENTAI!!!" yelled Sango.

Miroku was grinning ear to ear with a fresh, red handprint on his cheek.

"Sango, I'm just expressing my affection toward you."

"Couldn't you express it differently?!"

"Uummm, okay. Sango, will you bear m-"

He was broken off by Sango.

"Forget it."

Kagome shook her head at her hilarious friends, not believing that she was actually friends with them. She knew that deep down, they truly loved each other. They were just either too embarrassed or stupid to say it.

"C'mon, let's go before we get any later," she whined to the steaming Sango and the cowering/happy Miroku.

They escaped the bell just by a second and slid into the seats of their new classroom. But, unfortunately, getting the strictest teacher in the school, Mr. Takahashi, they were considered late.

"Stupid teacher…" grumbled Kagome under her breath.

Suddenly, someone stepped into the room, completely unaware of what was going on.

"I assume your Mr. Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha?" said Mr. Takahashi in a menacing voice.

The mysterious figure with the silver hair answered in an equally menacing voice, "Yeah, so?"

"Take your seat right now."

"Feh…"

`Feh? Inuyasha? Silver hair? This seems so familiar…." Kagome thought as Inuyasha sat down. But the tough class had already started, and she thought no more of it.

At lunch, Kagome ate her ramen (A/N: Ramen!) under the cherry blossom tree in the schoolyard with Sango and Miroku, who were arguing as usual. `Do they ever shut up? I'm trying to think. Inuyasha… It seems so familiar.' (A/N: REMEMBER!!!! WHY WON'T YOU REMEMBER?! Oh yeah, I made it that way. ) `Oh well,' she thought as she pulled out her manga. But she couldn't concentrate.

She sighed as she thought of her disastrous past. `Mother. Father. They both died. I still remember. But then again, who wouldn't? After all, I do live in an orphanage. Hardly anybody knows, only Sango. I wish I could remember what happened that day when I was four. I just remember a young boy, the Goshinboku tree, and a car crash. Everyone died. I just wish that memory would go away, like all the others.' Tears started to come out again, but it was strange, because she hadn't cried in a long time. Something was different.

Suddenly, a gust of wind picked up and blew her manga away. And by fate, it landed at the feet of Inuyasha.

`Hey, it's that guy. I didn't notice him.'

She walked over to the other cherry blossom tree and said quietly, though she didn't know why, "Hey, that's my manga."

He looked up at her with a bored expression. She saw his golden eyes, and once again, she began to wonder if she knew him. The gust had turned into a soft breeze that mixed his hair with a few light pink blossoms that had decided it has time to go. In his mouth was a watermelon lollipop that he loved.

He got up and stared at the book in front of him. The flowers had fallen off and landed near his bare feet at his movements. She was surprised to see how tall he was.

"Give that back!" she snapped at him.

"Feh…" he murmured while he stared at her retreating back.

`She seems so familiar. Do I know her?' He slipped out the Shikon No Tama, which he wore on a chain underneath his red haori. Today, it glowed a strong pink, under the green and bubble gum pink canopy. `Hmmmm….' He put it back before anyone could see. He shrugged it off his mind and strolled to his next class.

"Hey, Miroku, Sango, what do you have next?" said Kagome cheerfully.

"I have Home Ec," they both said.

"What?!" said Sango. "What do you mean you have Home Ec? You'll probably be the only guy there!"

"Exactly," Miroku said, with a lecherous grin on his face.

"Pervert," muttered Sango as they walked toward the classroom.

Kagome sighed and said, "I have biology next. I'm all alone."

But, oh how wrong she was.

She entered the room and dragged herself to her seat. The teacher for this class was Mrs. Akena. And once again, Inuyasha comes in fashionably late, but he's not alone. He's in a staring contest with a wolf demon. (A/N: Guess who? Kouga. *sigh*)

Suddenly Inuyasha jumped up and yelled, "I win!" and left Kouga grumbling.

But his disappointment was soon taken away by the sight of Kagome.

"What is this beauty before me? It's a goddess. From now on, you are my woman," Kouga serenaded.

A vein popped out on Kagome's forehead. She was flattered, but nobody called her his woman.

BAAAANG!

Kouga was lying on the ground, twitching, Kagome was steaming, and Inuyasha was rolling on the ground, laughing.

"He didn't even ask me my name. Jerk," muttered Kagome.

All along, Mrs. Akena was standing off to the side, staring at the conflict. As soon as Kouga was hit, she stepped in.

"Okay, time to assign partners!" she said cheerfully.

Everyone began to sweatdrop. (A/N: They need better names for that.)

She began reading off the list.

"Okay, Ayume is with Hiten, Jinenji with Yura, Hojo with Jakotsu, Kagome with Inuyasha…."

Kagome stared at Inuyasha and began to feel nervous. `I'm paired with him? This doesn't feel right.'

She raised her hand and asked to be excused for a while. She walked to the girl's bathroom and splashed cool water on her hot face. `I need to calm down, she thought, as she stared at herself through the mirror. Finally, she wiped her face and walked back.

At the edge of the stairs she suddenly tripped and fell forward. She was waited for the terrifying fall when a silver and red blur rushed past her. She never felt the impact of her body and the ground. She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha staring at her. He almost looked….concerned? Again, this seemed familiar somehow.

"How did you get here so fast?" asked Kagome.

He just simply answered, "I figured you were in trouble."

To her own surprise, she pouted and said, "What do you think I am, a damsel in distress? I can take care of myself, thank you very much."

Inuyasha didn't answer. He didn't know how he knew to rescue her. He just had this instinct. The two walked silently back to the classroom. When they got back, Kagome said she was sorry, and there were hardly any more surprises after that. Or at least for most of the day.

Kagome went home alone, a little dazed by what had happened. She wandered around, only getting home by luck. But first, she decided to visit the Goshinboku Tree. She often visited, even though it brought so many sad memories.

The walk to the park was short, for it was made in honor of the high school.

She gazed up at the tree. It was fall, but the everlasting tree was covered with fresh, green leaves. Light peered through gaps and lefts spots on sunlight on the dusty ground. Hardly anyone went near the tree. Kagome was the only one to visit, but she hadn't sat under it in a long time.

She sat at the edge of the tree's shadow and began daydreaming and remembering.

`Do I know you, Inuyasha? You seem so familiar. That young boy…..was that you? No, it couldn't be. They told me that boy died. They wouldn't lie. Mother wouldn't lie. NO! I won't think that of my mother! She did all she could to make me happy. Unless…..she didn't know. But who would want to say he was dead. Wait a minute, whoever said Inuyasha was that boy! I guess I just want to believe it so much. I want my prince back. He'd know what to do.' Kagome crawled under the shade of the tree and took a nap.

Inuyasha was walking to his home too, but it was a mansion. On his way, a limo crept by him. He saw his reflection on the perfectly clean black window, and when it opened, he saw almost the exact face.

Inuyasha gasped. "Sesshoumaru….."

*cliffie! Or is it? I dunno.

By the way, Inuyasha still has his doggie ears.

I know it wasn't too angsty, but the first day of school isn't supposed to be. You aren't supposed to act all dramatic…yet. I tried though. Next chapter probably won't be too angsty either. But I did say my main genre is General. Hmmph.

REVIEW! REVIEW OR DIE!!! Please.
