Don't Own Inuyasha. But I do own my flying monkeys!

Chapter 1: Another New School

A soft pounding woke the girl up minutes before her alarm was set to do the job. She shot out of bed making sure to turn off the annoying object before heading for the shower.

Once she got out she slipped into her gray shirt saying 'Don't let your mind wander… …it's waaaay too small to be out on it's own' with a picture of a small brain that had an arrow with the words 'Your brain.' She put on her baggy blue jeans and her favorite black ankle boots from Sketchers.

She went through her jewelry grabbing some of those dark blue plastic bracelets. She also had on a claddaugh ring showing she's single and her favorite Celtic cross, both of which she never took off.

Grabbing her backpack she left her room to head downstairs pounding on her brothers' door on the way. "Sota, get your but out of bed or you're walking!" she hollered through the door before heading down the stairs for breakfast. She quickly finished eating and waited by the door for her brother.

"I'm leaving in…5…4…3…2…"she stated starting a count down.

"I'm here, stop counting," her brother said from right next to her. "Bye mom!" they both shouted as they head out the door.

After dropping her younger brother off at the elementary school she continued driving to the high school. She wasn't looking forward to today. Only a week into the new school year and her parents informed her that they were moving to Tokyo. She had informed all her friends of course but she hadn't told them that she didn't want to go. She remembered telling her best friend Ayumi that it was just an opportunity to meet new people. Ayumi had been her first friend when she moved to Kyoto from the Americas. Before then she had absolutely no friends. She decided to keep it that way this time. Leave all the heartbreak for someone else when she moved again.

Her dad was in the Air Force and they never stayed in the same place for long. Lost in her thoughts as she was she didn't realize she had reached the school. The honking from the car behind her brought her out of her daze. She shook her head then drove off to find a parking spot.

(Céad míle fáilte romhat!)

Getting out of her car after parking it in a visitors slot she took a deep breath before walking into the school. Her first stop was the main office of course. She waited behind a few other students before finally making it to the front desk.

"How can I help you?" the lady said from behind the desk giving a cheery smile.

"I'm the new student, Kagome Higurashi." She answered without returning the smile.

"All righty then." The secretary said without losing her exuberance. "I'll just get you your schedule and everything and you can head on out."

Kagome took the papers from the lady and left the office without another word. After glancing at her schedule she looked around to find her locker. She quickly found and opened it on the first try. Putting her books away she made sure to grab her things for her next two classes. Before she got a chance to close the locker someone did it for her. She looked around but found no one nearby till she saw what almost looked like the back of her own head. Glancing again and not seeing it a second time she shrugged it off and headed for her homeroom.

She sat down at a desk and lay her head down with her headphones on waiting for school to start as she wrote in her notebook. She paid no attention as the rest of the class started coming in until someone pulled her headphones off. She looked up abruptly staring at a tall girl with black hair pulled back in a loose ponytail wearing a pink tank with a white bunny and tight khaki capri's.

"May I help you?" Kagome asked calmly with very minimal venom to her voice.

"You're in my seat." the girl said glaring back with unconcealed venom dripping from every word.

"Oh, are these seats assigned?"

"Just this one."

Rolling her eyes Kagome slid her headphones back on and attempted to go back to her writing. She was again interrupted when the girl took her notebook. That made Kagome stand up fists at her side looking at the girl with a death glare.

"Give that back." she said in an almost inaudible whisper.

"I don't think so. It might be an interesting read." the girl replied. Kagome made a swift move taking her notebook back before sitting down.

"Find a different seat. I got this one now." By now the whole class was watching the altercation.

"Take your seats now class." the teacher announced as she walked in.

"Miss. O'Colin, this girl took my seat." the tall girl announced. The teacher looked up looking at the two and now noticing what had the classes' attention.

"The seats are not assigned Kikyo. I'm sure you can find another or do I need to start assigning seats?" Kikyo grimaced before taking another seat across the room from Kagome. Kagome had sat back down in that time after putting her headphones away and continued writing in her notebook. "Sorry to interrupt you Miss but would you mind introducing yourself."

Sighing quietly in exasperation Kagome stood by her desk. "My name's Kagome Higurashi. I just moved here from Kyoto." With that she sat down and resumed writing in her notebook.

"Alright then. Thank you." Miss.O'Colins replied before starting role call.
