Dislaimer: Inuyasha doesn't belong to me. If it did, Kikyo would be dead, Sesshoumaru would have Kagome as a mate, and Inu no Taishou would still be alive. Oh well.

Summary: It's just another AU, school fic. This is what happens when you're bored. Let's see, Kagome moves to Youkai High in America, after living in Tokyo for her whole life, a school that's all for youkai; she doesn't know it. It causes some problems when they realize she's a miko, especially the principal, Mr. Taihou. But, luckily for her, she finds some friends among the inu youkai, mainly Inuyasha, who hangs out with Koga, and some others. So, what's to happen when she meets his older brother, the sexy senior Sesshoumaru? And where do Tokyo and American gangs fit into this story?

Chapter 1: A letter from Youkai High?

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The sudden beeping of her alarm clock startled her; she woke instantly, as if her body had been waiting for it to go off. (A/N: I don't know about you, but I wake up the instant my alarm goes off, as if I've been waiting for it. Sorry! Continue reading!)

"Ah, Monday!" Kagome Higurashi sighed, smiling as she stretched her back until it cracked.

"Kagome! Are you up, dear?" Her mother called, giving a quick knock on her 16 year old daughter's door.

"Yeah, I'm up, mom! Are you making breakfeast?" Kagome called back, throwing back the covers on her bed.

"Yes, I'm making your favorite: eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice."

"Alright! I'll be down in about ten minutes."

Kagome heard her mother walking back down the stairs as she stood and stretched again. She slipped out of her silk nightgown, standing in nothing beside her bed.

"What to wear?" She wondered aloud, making her way over to her closet. "Jeans? A skirt? No, jeans will be fine."

Deciding, she pulled out a pair of snug, frayed jeans and a tight t-shirt with the band "Three Days Grace" spread across the center. She laid both on her bed, before going over to her vanity, and pulling out a comfortable black bra and black underwear.

After dressing, she moved in front of her mirror, carefully brushing her waist-length, glossy black hair until it shined. After gazing into the mirror, she decided to wear it back, and pulled out a black, silk ribbon. She tied it around her hair at her neck.

Next, she pulled out her make-up bag, and walked into the bathroom connected to her room. Sitting herself on the side of the sink, she opened it, taking out her dry eyeliner first.

She used it to make a rough ring around her cerulean eyes, before taking out her liquid eyeliner. She went around over the dry eyeliner with it, although much more carefully this time. (A/N: This is what I do, anyway. Anyone else? Or am I the only one?)

Putting both sticks away, she pulled out her small eyeshadow compact, where she chose dark and light blue colors. The dark blue went on first, sparkling as it accented the eyeliner. Then she covered it with the light blue, which farther accented the eyeliner, and even the other color.

Lastly, she added some black mascara, followed by light pink blush and clear lip gloss.

"Perfect." She murmured, smacking her lips at herself in the mirror.

After putting her make-up away, she went back into her room, laying the bag on her vanity. Looking down at her black-colored nails, she decided she didn't need to redo them, and turned off her light.

"G'morning." Sota's sleepy greeting warmed her as she passed him in the hall, and she gave him a gentle pat on the head.

"Good morning. But maybe you should go back to bed."

He obediently nodded, and she smiled as she made her way downstairs. Her mother was standing at the stove; she turned to her daughter with a smile.

"I grabbed the mail this morning; you got something. It's at your seat."

Kagome nodded and seated herself, glancing down at the thick envelope before her.

"From Youkai High? What's that? Have you heard of it, mom?" Her mother shook her head, piling the food on the plate she set before her daughter. "Oh, no wonder. I guess it's in America. Shall I open it?"

Popping a piece of bacon in her mouth, Kagome chewed before reading aloud;

Dear Ms. Kagome Higurashi,

It has come to our attention that you are doing extremely well in your school, and are taking only AP and IB classes. Yet, even with these classes, you recieve only A's. Your principal has contacted us as Youkai High, which is well known as the most prestigious school in all of America.

It would seem that you could do better here in America, at our school. This letter is a request for you to come to Youkai High, and farther apply yourself here.

Should you agree, we will send enough money for you to fly here. There will also be enough money to last a couple months, for food, clothes, and supplies. Our school provides any books you might need.

We earnestly hope you will agree to join us at Youkai High, and eagerly anticipate a return letter of yours. If we do not recieve a letter of confirmation within a month from now, by March 13, we will assume that you have declined our proposition.

Sincerely,

Principal Taishou of Youkai High

After reading this letter, Kagome could only sit there with her mouth hanging open. She had just recieved a letter from the most prestigious school in America, asking her to join them! What should she do?

"Mom? What do you think I should do?"

Mrs. Higurashi sighed, sipping her tea before she answered. "Well, they were right about your classes. You are taking the highest classes in your school, and half the time you sleep during class. Maybe this would be a good experience for you. And they would pay all your traveling expenses."

Kagome nodded, but she wasn't agreeing yet. It was such a big decision she felt she needed time to process it. She needed even more time to come up with the right thing to do. She said as much to her mother.

"I agree, Kagome. Besides, you have a month to decide. Take your time. You should get the opinions of your friends, but don't forget: this is your decision, and yours alone. Don't let anyone else make it for you."

Kagome nodded, thankful for her mother's wisdom.

"I believe I will do that, mom. After all, I'm supposed to meet Eri, Amy, and Hojo at the mall in about 20 minutes. I suppose I'll tell them after we finish shopping."

Mrs. Higurashi nodded; it was a good thing to do.

"Well, I'll be leaving now." Kagome smiled, finishing up her eggs and bacon as she fairly shoved her toast in her mouth.

"Chew before you swallow, dear." Mrs. Higurashi chided, watching her daughter gulp down her orange juice.

"Yeah, sure, mom. I love you! Bye!" Kagome kissed her mother's cheek, grabbing her small black purse from the counter.

"Do you have enough money?"

"Yeah, I've got about 200 in here. Well, a lot's in my wallet in my jeans, just in case anyone tries to steal my purse."

Mrs. Higurashi smiled, waving a little as her daughter rushed out the door. Then she frowned as she glanced down at the letter still on the table.

How odd, to recieve a letter from an American school. And in the middle of school. Oh well; I'm happy for her. It'll be a nice change.

With those happy thoughts, Mrs. Higurashi cleaned up her daughter's dishes, carefully setting the letter on top of the fridge for safe keeping.

She just hoped this didn't bother Kagome for the rest of the day; she'd been anticipating this trip to the mall for quite a few days now.

Well, what'd ya think of chapter 1? I thought it went okay. And I know; there's probably so many stories like this, but I'm hoping this one will be a little different. So, please review for me! I need to know what you guys think before I write the next chapter, "At The Mall!" I'll update once I have five reviews.

Oh, um, does anyone know the name of Kagome's mom? And the real name of Inu no Taishou, (that's a title.) And I don't mean "Toga." He has a name that starts with "S," I think. They say it in the third movie, and if you know it, please tell me!
