New fic! ( I do not own Inuyasha ) This one will be updated bimonthly. I am also working on updating my other fics more often. This one was brainstormed and the first chapter only took me a few minutes to type up so I was eager to get this out there.

Enjoy and review!

I opened the mail slot to drop her assignment in and I heard what sounded like punches landing, and bones breaking. Sometimes my half demon hearing can be a nightmare. I peeked inside and saw Kagome on the ground, begging a man to stop punching her.

You can probably assume what I did next. But first, let me start at the beginning and tell you about my relationship with Kagome and why saving her was so important…

6 months prior…

Our school had a very particular setting. The upperclassmen wore a blue and white uniform, while the freshmen wore a green and white uniform. We even started one hour after the freshmen. Being a senior, each of us was assigned a random freshman to mentor for the first month of school. Lucky me.

It was 7:30 in the morning. The sun wasn't even out when I had to crawl out of bed and get dressed just to mentor some fresh meat that can hardly fend for themselves. It always pissed me off how the administration treated the freshmen like babies just because they were new. I even hated it two years ago when I started here.

I stood by my locker, waiting for the announcement for the seniors to come to the cafeteria to meet our mentees.

During that time, the hallway was filled with white and green. Just a bunch of confused kids holding papers with their assigned locker numbers on them.

Sigh. Whatever.

"Um…excuse me. I think you're leaning against my locker." An annoying, timid, high-pitched voice squeaked.

I glared over at the mousy girl. Big brown eyes, long black hair, kinda short. I swear she looked like someone I know…or once knew.

"What, this one next to mine? You sure?" I hope she's wrong. Please be wrong.

"Um…522?" She said as she referred to that paper in her hand. "Yeah, that's my locker."

You've gotta be kidding me.

"Sorry, there's gotta be some mistake. No one is supposed to get this locker."

"Well where am I supposed to put my things?"

"I don't give a damn where you put your things. You're not getting this locker."

"You can't have two lockers! That's not fair!" She started getting loud, and boy was I tempted to slap her.

"Who said anything about having two lockers?! This locker already belongs to someone. Now get lost!"

"Hmph!" She turned on her heel and stomped down the corner to the guidance counselor's office.

Damn snitch.

Here came Ms. Kaede Oyama with that little bitch scurrying behind her. Hopefully she'll take my side on this. She understands more than anybody.

"Good morning, Mr. Taisho."

"Good morning."

"Ms. Higurashi here says that you refuse to allow her access to her locker."

"She got locker 522! You promised me no one would get that locker!"

"Inuyasha, listen to me." She put her hand on my shoulder and slowly walked me away from that girl. "I know how you feel. Believe me, I do. But we have a larger crowd of freshman than last year, and we need every locker to be filled."

Is she serious?! "That's not fair! You gave me your word that this would always be Kikyo's locker until graduation!"

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha. You have to let Kagome have the locker. I'm sure my sister would have wanted that."

"This is bullshit!"

I stormed off.

Kikyo was my first and only girlfriend since middle school. I loved her with all my heart up to the moment she was killed by a burglar during freshman year. The locker used to belong to my best friend, Miroku, but the two of them switched so Kikyo and I could see each other more often when we were taking different classes.

She used to slide notes in my locker, and I would slide notes in hers. It was kinda childish but it was fun. We did those things because we were in love.

I couldn't believe that bitch was getting her locker. Just the thought of someone else standing in her place, putting their things where she kept hers…I can't deal with it.

Later at orientation…

Each of us was given a matching sticker to help the mentors find the mentees. I sat in the far back of the cafeteria leaned up against the wall. I didn't care how long it took, I wasn't getting up and I didn't care if my mentee ever found me. I was in a bad mood.

As I waited 20 minutes for the purple star-wearing freshman to find me, I just listened to my music.

"Oh you've got to be kidding!"

I looked up. There she was again. I couldn't believe it.

To make matters worse, she had the purple star plastered right on her shirt. Give me a fucking break already. The school year hasn't even officially started yet.

"Go ask someone to switch us then. I don't care."

"It's too late now. Everyone is already getting along happily with their mentors. Except me. I'm stuck with the locker hog." She said as she plopped next to me.

"I'm not a locker hog! You're the one jumping into someone's locker."

"Are you serious?! Just because I have a locker that used to belong to someone else?" She started getting loud again. If she weren't a girl she'd be in a garbage can rolling out the door.

"That locker is still Kikyo's! Just because she passed away doesn't mean that's your locker now. It belongs to her until our class graduates."

"Passed away?" Her nasty attitude seemed to change so suddenly. "I didn't know. I'm really sorry."

"Whatever."

"Ms. Oyama told me your name is Inuyasha."

"Yep."

"Do you live near the school?"

"Nope."

"Do you play any sports?"

"Yep."

She crossed her arms and sighed. "I'm trying to make friends! We're going to be stuck together for a month. Could you at least pretend you don't hate me?"

"Change lockers."

"I can't change lockers! It's too late."

"That's your excuse for everything! You know what? Find your own damn classes. I'm out of here."

That same evening

I left school early that day. Part of me felt kind of bad for leaving her hanging with no mentor, but at the same time, I didn't care at all.

I sat on my bed reading all the notes Kikyo slid into my locker when I got a phone call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Inuyasha?"

"Yeah. Who's this?"

"It's Kagome."

My heart dropped into my stomach. Why does she insist on bothering me all the time?

"What do you want now?"

"I asked Ms. Oyama for your number."

"Why?"

"Well for starters, you're my mentor and we're supposed to stay in contact with one another."

I rolled my eyes.

"And…I opened my locker. I-I mean…Kikyo's locker." She paused and let out a deep breath. "It was never cleaned out. There was a picture of you and her in there and a bunch of notes that you had written to her. I also found this—"

I hung up on her. It's bad enough that she has Kikyo's locker, now she's prying into my personal life?!

This is going to be a really terrible school year.
