Chapter 2: Acquaintances and reunions, a face to remember

Kagome was late for school the next morning and had no time to grab her lunch or eat breakfast. She couldn’t afford to be late again or she wouldn’t be able to go on the school trip to Okinawa Bay. Every street, alley way, and sidewalk, she ran through them looking at her watch every minute that passed.
“I’m going to be late!” she cried as she sped up her pace. As she ran the school became closer with every step. When she reached the school gate, she ran faster and bust in through the doors. Kagome could hear her principle’s voice droning over the speaker system throughout the halls.
“I can still make it to my first class,” said Kagome as she walked down the hall.
She pushed the sliding doors aside and walked into her homeroom. The entire class was talking and her friends, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka stood in the back of the classroom.
“Kagome! You look a mess!” they all giggled. Kagome put her hand to her hair and felt her black strands standing up on end. Her hair was extremely untidy from running so fast, and the entire class chuckled at her tangled mane. She walked to the back of the class and sat in her seat in the middle row. Her friends came up to her.
“I’ll comb your hair,” Ayumi took out a comb from her bag and combed Kagome’s hair, “I won’t let these people make fun of you,” she said gently.
Yuka and Eri stared as Kagome’s tangled tresses transformed into beautiful strands.
They both pouted enviously, tugging at their own short hair.

The teacher walked in, presented himself and sat at his desk. He was a man in his late fourties, his hair was a light gray that covered his entire head. The four girls stood at attention. “Everyone please sit, today your first class has been delayed because of a new student joining our class,” he said. The class began to chatter and talk about the new visitor. The four girls stood in silence, Yuka spoke.
“A new person, could it be a boy?” Yuka teased.
“Maybe it’s a girl,” Ayumi replied.
“No, no, I think it’s a guy, I heard the upper classmen talking about it,” Eri said.
The girls spoke among themselves; the room became filled with gossip, whispers, and giddy chatter. Voices continued to rise until the door slid open and the new person walked in. Kagome stared at the front of the room to see, but her view was blocked by heads and tall bodies. She became annoyed and sat up on her desk to see the person. As she looked forward, their eyes met, and she was stunned by who she saw. He was obviously a guy, his body was muscular and well developed. His silky white hair and bright gold eyes, gave her memory a jolt.

“Its that guy!” she thought to herself. He still continued to stare at her and she couldn’t keep her eyes away. Kagome slid off the desk and sat down in her seat, she focused her attention to her physics book to keep her eyes from traveling to his.
He continued to stare at her until her face was hidden beneath a forest of people who’s heads were in the way. He turned his focus from her and turned to the teacher.
“Everyone, this is Inuyasha, strange name,” he coughed and continued, “He has transferred from Okinawa, and his last name is…,” he stared at the paper.
“I didn’t write it, I wanted to keep it secret,” he said flatly.
“Ooh! Alright Mr. Secretive, sit next to Kagome,” he said sarcastically as he pointed to a full head of thick black hair at the back of the class. Inuyasha looked at the back of the class, found his seat and walked towards it.
“Oh, and Inuyasha!” The teacher shouted; Inuyasha turned to him, “When you come to school tomorrow, take out those contacts and color your hair black. Trying to be “cool” is not accepted in this school, we are here to learn!” The room was filled with whispers and broad stares again as he took his seat and looked Kagome’s way. Her head was buried in a book and was fast asleep. He took the book and she snapped awake; she became angry at him. Kagome stared at him annoyed and turned away, she didn’t know who was sitting next to her until she looked.
“Hey, you’re that girl I saw yesterday, right?” he asked. Kagome’s face was still turned away from him. He be became annoyed by her insolence, grabbed her hair and pulled her face towards him. His golden eyes sank into hers and her heart beat wildly.
“Hey, I’m talking to you!” he said angrily, his eyes snapped open when he realized what he was doing and the whole class was leering at him. Kagome’s eyes were starting to fill with tears, and he let go of her hair. He started to apologize until a chalk eraser flung at his head, turning his white hair into a putrid yellow from the yellow colored chalk dust. The entire class chuckled.
“Hey! Stop flirting and pay attention to the lesson!” the teacher yelled, he stared at Inuyasha, who was very pissed. He got up.
“Teacher, can I please go to the bathroom?” he asked as he dusted some of the chalk dust out of his hair.
“Yeah, but you’re new here, take Kagome with you, she knows this school top to bottom,” he said, turning back to the board. Inuyasha stared at Kagome and he walked out of the classroom, she saw him leave and ran behind him out the door.
