Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or Inuyasha!

Summer vacation is here, signaling the end of school! This is my new story in honor of it. Though updates will be slow, since I have a crash biology course for the next two months. I'll be gone for that period of time…I'll have someone update for me, I hope.

Chapter 1: My Roommate

I glanced around my new room, taking in the appearance. I dropped my luggage onto the ground with a loud thud. Dusting off the imaginary dirt clinging to my clothes and smoothing down the wrinkles, I plopped down next to my luggage and unzipped it. I unpacked by tossing out the items from within into three piles: clothes, decoration, and utensils.

I admit I'm a bit scared to be at a boarding school, away from my family, but I'm excited at the same time. I had wanted to come to Sakura Boarding High for as long as I could remember. Why? Because one, it's the best boarding school in the world. Two, it's the largest school in the world; it's like a city within the campus. Three, my twin, Kikyou is here. I haven't seen her for nearly five years.

Kikyou didn't get along very well with mother, so she moved out. It wasn't until a month ago that I learned she was preparing to attend Sakura Boarding High, so I quickly grasped onto the chance. Mother was displeased with my choice to say the least, but she agreed to let me go.

I placed the kitchen ware in the kitchen and hung my clothes in the closet. I dragged my blanket and pillows into the bedroom and dropped it onto the bed. I looked at the bed across from mine, which is to be occupied by my roommate. I hope she's nice so we can become good friends. I don't know anyone here except Kikyou, but I haven't seen her in so long, I don't think I would even recognize her. Plus, the campus is so huge; I have no clue where she is.

I quickly got off my bed when I heard the door open. My roommate must have arrived, and I better go introduce myself. I smiled at the girl that entered, and my eyes widened slightly. Wow, she has got to be the most gorgeous girl on campus! I took in her sparkling green eyes and silky red hair, and felt slightly out of place next to her. "Hi, my name is Kagome!" I introduced, extending a hand to my roommate.

She looked stunned for a moment, before shaking my hand, but she looked extremely confused. "Shuichi Minamino." she replied, with a soft and confused voice. To my surprise, her voice was quite masculine to a certain degree, but I quickly brushed that aside.

I took in a deep breath and smiled. "Wow, what perfume do you use? It smells nice, like roses. It doesn't make my head spin like the others." I smiled as Shuichi turned a slight shade of red. "You're very pretty." I commented, smiling at my roommate.

"I think there's been a mistake." Shuichi stated.

"How so?" I asked, wondering why she thought that. Maybe she thought she was too popular to be sharing a room with me. Well, I guess that would make sense. Pretty girls usually are popular and obnoxious. I lost my smile, but I didn't frown either.

"Oh, please don't take it the wrong way." amended Shuichi, "It's just that…"

"Yes?" I asked, urging her on.

"I think there's a mistake in the room arrangement." finished Shuichi.

"Why?" I asked, frowning slightly.

"I'm a guy." replied Shuichi, his cheeks tinted with red. I immediately traced over his body with my eyes and mentally slapped myself. Now that I paid closer attention, I could tell his body was that of a male and not female. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as I bit my tongue. Why did I have to talk before thinking? Now he probably thinks I'm an idiot.

"Oh." I replied, my cheeks a bright shade of red. She isn't the most gorgeous girl in school, but the most gorgeous guy in the school. "I'm sorry." I apologized, "I just thought…um…you were a girl…so sorry!"

"Its okay." replied Shuichi, "This isn't the first time it happened anyway." Ah, I had just commented how good his perfume smelled! Oh, I hope I didn't offend him in any way. I was so lost in my own thought that I didn't hear a single word that Shuichi said to me.

"What?" I asked when I finally snapped out my own ramblings.

"I said we should go speak to the authority and tell them of the mistake." repeated Shuichi, looking for my consent. I blushed a deep red for my lack of attentiveness and quickly nodded my head in agreement. We walked down the hall in silence, before Shuichi broke it. "Is this your first year at Sakura Boarding High?"

"Yes." I replied, "I'm a sophomore though."

"This is my first year here too, but I'm a junior." replied Shuichi, smiling at me. My cheeks heated up again as I tried to think of something to say.

"Do you know any one here?" I asked, looking into his emerald green eyes.

"Yes." replied Shuichi, "my girlfriend, Maya. I haven't seen her in two years, not since I moved away. I found she was attending this boarding school, so I enrolled here. What about you?"

"I'm looking for my twin." I replied, looking straight ahead. "I haven't seen her for nearly five years." Then we walked in silence again until we reached the office. Shuichi opened the door for me and I walked in with him behind me.

"What is it?!?" snapped the lady behind the desk.

"We have a problem with our room arrangements." Shuichi replied smoothly.

"Deal with it!" snapped the lady, munching on a hamburger. I glared at the lady, feeling my anger rise.

"Hey! Quit being so snappy." I growled, getting the full attention of the lady. "We have important matters."

"Then quit yapping and start talking." snorted the lady. I opened my mouth to snap back, but stopped when I felt Shuichi's hand on my shoulder. I stepped back, allowing him to communicate with the annoying fat lady.

"Kagome and I are put into the same dorm, but..." started Shuichi, but was interrupted.

"You are of different sexes." finished the lady. "Deal with it!" snapped the lady, "There aren't any more rooms left. I'm sure you, girl, wouldn't mind getting pregnant anyway." I blushed a crimson red at her implications and was about to retort, but stopped when Shuichi shook his head. I glared at the woman before following Shuichi out of the office.

"Are you alright?" asked Shuichi, taking into account the appearance of my face, which would put a tomato to shame.

"Yea," I quickly replied, trying not to get any redder. "So, what are we going to do?" I asked, averting my gaze.

"I guess we're going to be roommates." replied Shuichi and I nodded my head.

"I guess so." I replied, giving him a smile, which he returned. We started a small chat as we headed back to our dorm. I can't believe I'm going to room with a guy, mom's going to blow when she finds out.

"Do you have the keys?" asked Shuichi, breaking into my thoughts, "I forgot to bring mine."

"Yes." I replied, unlocking the door. I pushed in the door and we stepped into our dorm. I hung my head in embarrassment as I scanned the mess I made earlier.

"Well, let's get to work." Shuichi suggested. I nodded my head in agreement before preparing to finish my unpacking. I decorated our dorm as Shuichi unpacked his clothes and possessions.

I can hear mama's screams right now, demanding why I'm sharing a dorm with a guy, no matter how gorgeous or nice he is. It wasn't so bad, I guess. Shuichi seems really nice, I'm sure we can become good friends. I moved into the mini kitchen and washed my hands before opening a small refrigerator and taking out the bread and jam I had put in earlier. I made some sandwiches and cut them into small bite sized pieces before putting them on a plate and carrying it into the living room.

"Shuichi!" I called. "I made some snacks." I called and his head popped out from our room a few seconds later. He walked out a few minutes later and took a seat opposite of me. He took a bite out of the sandwich and smiled at me.

"It tastes great." he complimented.

"It's just sandwich." I mumbled, but smiled nonetheless.
