FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Okay, first day to school and she can't take it. She's at a new school and it's quite scary actually. She knows no one there and she has no friends.

"You'll make friends in no time, dear," her mom said. She actually believes that I'll be able to make friends at a school like this.

Looking up at the school, it's one of those preppy rich schools that she's hated for as long as time went on in her life. She just continued to walk up the stairs into the building and avoid any contact from any of these people here. She looked scared, yet confident about being able to make it through.

She got to the front gate and just stood there and looked at the school she was fixing to enter. What was up with this school anyway, it seemed a bit odd. Oh well, she shrugged and walked up the stairs, towards the front door.

In fact, the place was pretty big for a school in a small town. She was really beginning to miss her home and other school. It troubled her to be here and away from all of her other friends. It really was going to be hard to make new friends.

She sighed. Her mother hadn't even gone in to get all of the paper work done with her. She hated doing this kind of thing, her mother always did this. Kagome wasn't a very social person, only with her friends and sometimes the acquaintances that she knew. This was going to be one long school year.

Why did her mother have to make her go to a preppy school like this? Why? A tear fell down her face and she just stood there looking at the door. Those two, huge brass double doors. Once she pushed them open and walked inside that would be it. It would be the first day of a year she predicted to go horribly wrong.

The doors swung open and cursing followed the opening. She glanced up in time to see a chest run smack into her face. "Damnit," the voice cursed softly. "Sorry 'bout that. Move." He said it with such force, yet calmness she didn't know whether he was being nice or rude.

"Sorry," she whispered and just side stepped him. But he side stepped her back and stood in front of her looking down with a questioning look. "What?" Kagome asked quietly. She continued to look down and try not to make eye contact with him.

"An apology would be nice," he said calmly. He just looked at her, raising an eyebrow. He seemed to be waiting for that apology which she had already given, but she wasn't going to say she already gave him one.

"Sorry," she said a bit louder this time, her voice was squeaky from not talking for so long. She started to side step him again, and this time he actually let her go.

Kagome was embarrassed by this and just kept on walking through the door. Like she predicted, her first day was starting off wrong.

It took her twenty minutes to just find the office. Once she got there, she went straight to the front desk. Confident of getting her registration done quickly, she spoke. "Umm… Excuse me," she softly said. They weren't answering her, they were just standing there talking and ignoring her. This just wasn't right. "Excuse me," she said a bit louder this time.

"Wait in line like the rest of those trouble makers," a young girl said, giggling afterwards with a friend of hers.

Kagome stood there in shock. Trouble maker, her? Never! "I'm not here to see the principle. I'm--."

"We don't care. Now go and wait for someone to get to you," the other said, but much ruder this time.

But this time, a much older woman came by and flicked to two girls in the back of the head with her pen. "Get to work ladies. You're not getting an A for doing nothing," she told the girls. Kagome had to smile at this, but reframed from doing so. "Now, can I help you with anything, dear?" She appeared nice, but looks were deceiving.

"Yes," Kagome answered softly. "I'm new and my mother never did the registration for me to be enrolled, but all of my school papers from my other school were already sent here," she explained. She stood there fiddling with the hem of her shirt.

"Aw, yes. You must be Kagome Higuarishi," the lady said with a smile that was heart warming.

"Yes, that's me," Kagome said with a smile as well. "Umm… So how do I do this registering thing?" Her hand was still unconsciously fiddling with her shirt. The occasional straightening of the shirt, but of course it didn't really need it.

"Kagome, you just have to fill out which classes you have already taken and which ones you were taking before you left your other school. Oh, and you'll be needing to get the uniforms to wear everyday to school, but we'll let you off this time since it's your first day," she explained.

For the rest of the day Ms. Anno showed Kagome around the entire school, showing her where her classes were and other school related things. By the time lunch rolled around, the tour was done and Kagome was allowed to eat lunch in the office with Ms. Anno. The only problem was that she had to go to her afternoon classes and finish everything off.

>>

When she got done with her lunch, she walked off towards her first afternoon class. Room 606: Chemistry I. It was a junior class and she was a sophomore, but she was ahead of her classmates in most of everything. She had doubled up on her classes, taking two science classes and two math classes. She planned on doubling up on foreign languages next year and possibly math again.

Upon walking in the door, she heard whistles from inside the classroom. She decided to just look ahead and ignore them. "Look who we have here boys," a male voice said mischievously. Just ignore them, she told herself.

As she got to the teachers desk, she waited to be seated and hopefully not introduced to the class. The teacher, however, introduced her. "Class," he waited for silence, when it not coming he yelled. "Class! Can you please be silent for 1.25 seconds!" Silence filled the room. "Thank you. Now, we have a new student here with us today. Her name is Kagome Higuarishi. Unfortunately, she is the only sophomore in this class. So give her a break people," he told the class, and then he turned to Kagome, "You can sit over there, in the middle of the class by the boy with silver hair."

Silver hair, she thought. She sighed and walked over towards the desk. Small, but she didn't' particularly care at this moment. Life was going to go terrible and today was the beginning of it.

"Dear God," she whispered softly under her breathe. What was the world coming to anyway? she asked herself. She looked terrified of being in this new school and she didn't particularly like it one little bit, not even an ounce.

"What did you say?" a familiar voice whispered beside her. The voice really did sound familiar and yet, she hadn't even been here that long.

"What?" she asked, freezing once he spoke. She didn't even look up at him, not once as he stared at her.

"You said, 'Dear God', why?" he asked softly. His voice was rough yet soft, rude yet calm. And she happened to like it, but she wasn't willing to tell him any of it or anyone for that matter.

"Oh, that. Nothing," she simply answered. She looked down at her desk and just listened to the teacher as this boy was slowly scooting his desk closer to hers.

"So, Kagome is it? Must be great to be the only sophomore in class?" he asked softly, his voice almost in her ear. That voice, it sent shivers down her back. Tingles went straight down to her toes. This never happened to her before and she didn't want it to be happening, but as she thought before, she liked it very much.

First day and she was already crushing on someone. She sighed and answered him, "Yes, and I don't know what to think about it. I've always been a smart one and it sometimes makes me feel left out of things," she paused, and then continued, "Wait, why am I telling you this?"

She finally looked up with the look of confusion on her face, something that didn't quite fit her face. Now, his face was something to look at. He had a beanie on, so she couldn't really see his ears, but his lip and eyebrow were pierced. And for all she knew, more could be pierced. She didn't really want to think about that right now, or did she? She was speechless and his looks made her breathless, what was this feeling! "Are you okay? Is something wrong?" he asked, eyebrow raised.

She just looked at him, then her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she was down on the floor, passed out. "Oh my God!" a unison of voices said all at once. Chairs were scraping across the floor and the noise she heard was soon fading away.

He looked at her and she seemed to blush or at least study him. He didn't know why she would do this, but she was. No one ever studied him, well besides the guys who were debating on kicking his ass. But her look just shocked the hell out of him.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As he watched her stare he asked, "Are you okay? Is something wrong?" He raised an eyebrow and watched her questioningly.

When she looked at him again, her eyes seemed to roll in the back of her head and she fell to the floor.

Everyone from the class scuttled over and in unison said, "Oh my God!" Chairs scraped across the floor and the noise just got louder and the voices just blamed him. They didn't see anything, so they didn't know what happened. She had looked at him and all he smelt was lust off of her. The new girl lust after him, great news. He rolled his eyes and stood up, "It wasn't my fault you asses. She fell on her own." At that, he stalked out of the chemistry lab.

Jeez, sure was perfect to have the new girl faint from just the sight of him. In fact, he rather enjoyed it. Inuyasha smiled to himself and walked straight past the yelling teachers and pushed through the school doors.

He jumped off of the stairs and headed for his car. All the way out to the parking lot, all he could think about was this new girl. Her eyes just seem to speak to him. Unusual? Yes. But he needed to know why they did this.

He got over to his black 1965 mustang, which he called "'65 Fastback from Hell." The name was on the back of his windshield, so now ever forgot it. He climbed on in and started the engine. His music blared as the car kicked in and hard rock played out of the speakers. He knew that everyone could here the music from their classrooms, but he didn't give a shit. The school and everyone in it could blow to Hell and he wouldn't be bothered by it one bit.

He floored it through the parking lot of the school and his tires squealed as he peeled out. Black tire marks were left were his car was parked. Everyone knew whose they were, and they were careful not to park in his spot.

A few hours passed and all he could think of was her, the new girl. Kagome, was it? She had that appeal that most girls at his school didn't have, and that was the goodie-two shoes appeal. She seemed too perfect for her own good and he wanted a little experiment to break her of her habit. This new project of his was going to be sweet.

All he had to do was get her to trust him and then it was all uphill form there. First, he had to make sure nothing bad happened between her and him, and hoped that no one would interfere with his little plan. He swore as he swerved from the road and into an empty parking lot. "Jesus Christ," he murmured. Why were things getting so bad for him lately? But things were always bad for him from the beginning.

A bad ass punk like him got in a lot of trouble and not even the other terrible kids wanting him near them. He seemed to be the worst of all and those kids just looked good compared to him. Of course, he no one to really blame for his way of being, it was all him.

As he got out of his car, he walked over to a convenient store. Git-N-Go was a place not very many of the students at school went to, and that's why he had chose the job. The pay was good and he needed the money to pay for his car. His dad wouldn't pay for it, yet he helped pay for his car. Little smart-ass his brother was. His brother was nothing but a good ass, smart kid who cared for nothing more than his grades.

He sighed and headed for his job early today. They knew he got out of school early just to work, but they didn't ask anything of it. They just let him work and they paid him. It was as simple as pie.

"Hey, In," a dark guy of about 20 yelled over. He had dark brown hair cut short and spiked up. He seemed your typical punk, but things weren't always what they appeared.

Inuyasha gave a peace sign, "Wassup, Z?" he asked him. Inuyasha walked over and punched in his time card in the back. Early again, but he got paid extra for helping Z. He needed the money and he didn't mind coming in late.

Z's real name was Zayd, but everyone called him Z for short. It was easier and he didn't like his name. He always got the girls with the name. It helped out with his so-called image to be called Z, he always says. Could he get any stupider? Perhaps so, but Inuyasha wasn't ever going to stick around long enough to really find out.

"So, skipping out on school again, man?" Z asked. He was stocking stuff in the shelves, mostly all he could really be useful for the manager had once said.

Inuyasha just sighed and went behind the counter to begin his shift. "Looks that way to me, dude. I mean, wasn't special, so why worry about it?" He sighed and waited for anyone to show up, he needed to get home and think things through. Well, think this little experiment through thoroughly.

Her face seemed to keep popping up in his mind. That look, confusion, yet acceptance a bit. He hadn't had someone look at him like that. Most girls would just look at him with the whole "maybe I'll be cool if I try to sleep with him" thought. But he just ignored them.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Kagome woke up, finding herself in a bed not her own. It was uncomfortable and smelt bad. Great, I'm in a hospital, she thought. Could it get any worse? Yes, she was surrounded by students whom she didn't even know. She sighed and they all squealed happily.

"Oh, you're up!" one of the girls squeaked. She looked to be about Kagome's age and fairly pretty.

Kagome smiled and lied back down. "Yea," she sighed out, "I'm up. What happened?" Kagome looked confused and just lied there. This was really turning out to be one bad day. Her little estimated guess for her day was right. Was she ever wrong? Nope.

"Well, you came to our class. Chemistry I and well, you like fainted or something," another girl said. They looked pretty much the same. Her head hurt and she couldn't understand what if they were making sense or not.

"No, no, no," a girl with a distinguished voice said. "That part is true, but I believe it was because she saw who her lab partner was." The girl winked and Kagome looked shocked at her. Everyone gasped and murmurs filled the room. "Yes, Inuyasha Samikyo. The one and only bad ass of school." The girl just smiled at Kagome and went on about how she had fallen at just the sight of him. Boy was she ever wrong. Her details went far-fetched, but a few had actually been believable.

Almost an hour went by as the girl explained everything. "And, you see. It's not that big a deal people. It wasn't his fault, like he said," she said. "Now, leave her be for a while and let her get her stuff together to go home. Shoo! Leave." She ushered the other girls out of the room, only she didn't leave. "Hey, I'm Sango Hirakima," she said, extending her hand for Kagome to take it.'

Kagome took her hand and said hello as well. "So, are you like a writer or something? You seemed to have exaggerated on some facts about my feinting." Kagome looked at her with a questioning look.

"Me? A writer? No! I just like to, well, talk more than I should. I just wanted to spice it up a bit, ya know?" She smiled and sat down on the bed next to her. She had black hair and, Kagome noticed, she had dark brown eyes. She seemed nice to hang with and Kagome thought that she could possibly be her new friend. I mean, she did need one or two, she had none at all. But she seemed to sit awfully close to her.

"You know what?" she asked, looking straight at Kagome. "You're pretty, cute in fact." She had this weird look in her eyes and Kagome didn't quite like it, but if she had to get a friend, it might as well be someone she just met and was nice to her, right?

"Uh, thanks, I guess," she said with fright in her voice. "So, tell me something about this Inuyasha guy." Kagome looked quite intrigued as she said his name. It felt good to say it, too.

Sango just laughed, "You really wanna know about this guy, don't cha?" She went on about how he was the "bad ass" and "most feared" in school. The teachers didn't even mess with him. They knew that if he got really pissed, that things would be terrible for them. So, they let him get away with things. Even the normal troublesome kids were afraid of him. He hung out with no one.

As Sango kept talking, Kagome soo fell asleep and was dreaming of that bad boy Inuyasha. His silver hair and the piercings on his face. It just took a lot out of her to pass out in front of him. She could not believe that.

Kagome fell into a deep dream world of nothing but Inuyasha's face popping up here and there. Her little world that she hadn't been in since she was in junior high was where she was probably going to be a lot this year.

As she continued to sleep, she heard a soft voice tell her that she would come by later to check on her and that she had to go to class.

It seemed like hours when she heard a voice again, or any noise for that matter. She opened one eye and looked around. What she saw shocked her. It was Inuyasha sitting on one of the beds, but his hair wasn't the color it was supposed to be. It was black and the closer she looked, it wasn't Inuyasha at all.

This person had the form of Inuyasha, but it wasn't him. He had headphones in his ears, but the music wasn't loud at all. She couldn't even hear it, which she thought wasn't like Inuyasha at all. Or at least how Sango had described him.

"….But Ms. Kyma. I'm really worried about him. He usually doesn't leave this early," the voice sounded like his, but more polite and softer. "Ms. Kyma, I think he has a problem. I'm only worried about him. Wouldn't you be?" His head cocked to the side as he asked her this. He sounded a bit feminine too. Maybe it was because she was tired.

"Now, Eri hun. He will be alright. I'm sure of it," she explained to him. "Now, why don't you help me with something, dear." She looked her way and smiled as she saw her eyes open. "Go check on Miss Higuarishi."

Her eyes flew shut and she just sighed very hard, anyone could have heard it. "Okay." He walked over to her and sat down in a chair next to the bed. "I know you're up," he said. His voice was really feminine. "Please open your eyes and quit faking it." He sounded a bit annoyed and it didn't quite suit him all that well.

Kagome opened her eyes and she saw an exact image of Inuyasha, but he seemed much different. "Now, that wasn't so hard, was it honey?" he asked with such girl ness. It freaked her out a bit, but at least she knew that he wouldn't do anything to her.

"Uh, no. I guess," she replied. She didn't sound so good, but she didn't care. "What time is it?" Her face showed confusion and he just laughed.

"Well, it's only like seventh hour or something," he said, smiling. Then a frown came across his face. "Oh dear. You didn't go to anymore of your classes, did you? Jeez, and it's your first day here." He sighed and went over to Ms. Kyma. He started talking, but she couldn't hear anything, he just whispered it all. "Hey, come with me. Wait, can you get up or do you just wanna stay here till I'm back?" He didn't wait for an answer, just when Kagome wasn't rising he left.

Ms. Kyma came by and just looked at Kagome. "He's a dear, isn't he? One of the only ones who'll help me," she smiled and continued. "So, Miss Higuarishi. What happened for you to come here and miss all of your classes on your first day?" She raised an eyebrow and just laughed. "Was he that good looking? Eri told me that you turned to look at his brother and you fainted. Well, I wouldn't blame you, but I wouldn't try to get involved with him dear. He's nothing but trouble."

"So I heard. So, that boy is Inuyasha's brother?" Kagome asked with curiosity in her voice. Ms. Kyma nodded with an unfortunate smile. "Why does he sound like that? Is he… You know?"

"Dear, yes he is. He doesn't care, doesn't even mind. His parents still love him. They give him everything though. Inuyasha has to pay for everything he gets. That boy has done nothing but torment Eri." She paused, but didn't continue. Her eyes widen and a warm smile came on her face as Eri walked through the door. "Eri, did you get all of her assignments? What a sweet boy." She walked away and went back to doing her job.

"Here Kagome. It seems that you have some classes with me, and my brother." As he said brother, his voice went to a growl, but a smile came back to his voice as he continued talking and explaining some of the main points of each class that she had. "So, if you need any help. And I mean any help, with anything. Just call me." He smiled and handed her his number. "Maybe we can get together with some of my friends and have a girls' night or something?"

The bell rang and he stood up. "Well, time to get on home. Need a ride?" He smiled and when she shook her head he had said okay and left waving.

Another friend in one day. Wow, guess mom was right, Kagome thought.

She got up and headed towards the front of the building. Everyone seemed rushed to get out of school and head for home. Kagome was too. She decided that she would walk home; she called her mom and told her this. Her mother, of course, told her to be careful and be home at a reasonable hour. She had said she would, like always and would call if she needed anything or was in trouble.

>>

She had been walking for the past hour and still didn't know where she was. Her mother had said she probably wouldn't know where she was going, but she really didn't want her mother to go and get a big ego boost for being right.

She finally saw a place that looked normal to go in and get something to drink and eat. Maybe I can ask where my street is from here, she told herself.

As the bell rang on the door, Inuyasha glanced over and looked right at her. "Oh my God," she whispered to herself. He looked quickly away and went back to working. He works here? she asked herself.

She went through each aisle and looked for a snack to buy with her lovely two dollars her mom had given her. She saw some chips that weren't bad and got them, plus a canned drink: Dr. Pepper.

She went up to the cash register and waited for him to give her the amount of her items and afterwards, she was going to ask where she could find her street.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Inuyasha had been thinking of how Kagome had fainted at just the look of him. He smiled and couldn't quit. Z had come by several times and began making fun of him. He punched him a few times, but not too hard of course. Just hard enough to hurt and show how annoyed he was at him.

When he heard that familiar buzz of the bell he was relieved. He had only fifteen minutes left of his shift and he would be getting out of here.

When he did glance up his eyes locked with hers and he nearly flipped. How did she get here? Would she tell anyone at school that he works here? Thoughts just ran through his mind, but he showed a cool and collected guy. Then he looked away, going back to work.

She was lingering in the store and then about ten minutes later she came up with a package of Cooler Ranch Doritos and a canned Dr. Pepper. Why is she here? he kept asking himself.

He waited a few minutes and then rang everything up. "That'll be $2.05," he said casually.

"Oh shit," he heard her mumble real softly. He laughed to himself and just watched as she franticly went through her bag to find some change.

"Hey, how much do you have?" he asked her, a small grin on his face.

She looked up and hesitated. "Um, well, I have two dollars." Her eyebrows furrowed and she looked frustrated and upset.

Two dollars? That's it? He smiled and took five cents from a little jar. "I got the five cents, Kagome." He saw her eyes widen and he laughed to himself again.

She looked outside and seemed angered by something. "What is it?" he asked, looking at her with a brow raised.

She looked at him and then back down at her shoes, which he thought didn't look so interesting. "Well, you see. Here's the problem. I can't find my street. My mom told me I would get lost and I told her I wouldn't, but I am," she explained and then sighed.

She started to walk off and Inuyasha felt bad for her. He didn't want to, but he called after her, "Hey, Kagome. I'll help ya out. Just wait for a few seconds, okay?" He headed off to the back and she just stood outside waiting for him.

He could not believe that he was doing this, helping her out. But maybe it would get him a few steps closer to his project. He smiled and headed outside to find her waiting, jacket closed tightly around her.

He lost his smile and looked at her. "Tell me the street name and I'll drop ya off." He gave a grin and headed toward his mustang.

He saw Kagome's eyes widen and a gasp came out of her mouth. "Yeah, beauty, ain't she?" He grinned again and got into the car. He watched as she slowly walked towards it and got slowly in.

"Wow," she whispered softly. He heard it and just smiled.

"So, you like her?" he asked, looking over at Kagome gawking at the car. When she didn't answer and he answered himself. "I'll take that as a 'yes'." He started the mustang and began to drive off. He waited for her to tell him what the street name was, but she never did. "Kagome, the street name, please?"

She looked at him surprised and then gave a slight laugh, "Oh, yeah. It's on Feudal Lane." She looked off and out the window. He saw how she looked sad enough to cry. He didn't want to interfere, but he chose to anyway.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" he asked, her voice sounding a bit mean.

"I always get in trouble. Always get into it. Why? I'll never know. I just hate moving to a new place and meeting people I know nothing about. And… and…" Tears began to stream down her face and he just stared at her. He pulled the car over about a block from her street and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, it's okay. Parents always spring things on us without warning. I'm really sorry though," he said softly and she looked up at him. He noticed the tears staining her face, her beautiful face. Her eyes shown of hate and sadness. "Plus, we're almost to your house. You can go and hang in there and take some time off, kay?" He couldn't believe that he was being this nice to her, but if he wanted his plan to work then he had to be, right?

She sniffled a bit and nodded her head and answered with a "mhmm". He noticed that she looked down in her lap and began fiddling with her shirt hem. And she began to hum a soft song.

He started his car back up and started driving to her house. He slowly began to recognize the neighborhood. He lived around here. Wait, and was that his dad talking to a chick outside.

He heard Kagome speak for once through the whole way here with shock. "What is going on?"

He was thinking the same thing and once they both showed up their parents headed towards the car, each with a smile on their face. Inuyasha looked around and noticed that there was a bar-be-que going on in the middle oh his house and what appeared to be Kagome's house.

They both looked shocked and couldn't speak. "Oh, Kagome. You've met Inuyasha I presume?" her mother said. He noticed that she looked a bit like her mom.

"Well, I guess that means Inuyasha has already met Kagome, then," his father said. Inuyasha was fiery upset with this little get together.

"WHAT is going on here!" he practically yelled out. His eyes were turning a bright red and his father noticed this immediately.

"Well, I just thought that I would welcome the new neighbors with a bar-be-que. Is that so wrong?" his father said with a half-growl at him.

"No," Inuyasha growled back. He was slowly calming down and he looked over at Kagome, who wasn't in his car now. But was stomping towards her house. Great! Dad just ruins everything, doesn't he? he growled to himself. "I'm not hungry anyway. Need me, I'll be in my room," he told them. And with that, he parked his car, shut it off and headed upstairs to his bedroom.

"Guess he's upset," Kagome's mother remarked questioningly towards Inuyasha's father.

His dad nodded and they just went back to the bar-be-que and began having fun, laughing and giggling and just enjoying themselves.Inuyasha growled as he heard this and he thought he heard the feint sound of crying off in the distance, but he wasn't sure.

As he got to his room the crying seemed to be ringing loudly in his ears. What is up with this crying? he asked himself. He got closer to his window and saw that the empty balcony from across his room was filled with flowers and plants now. He looked closer into the room and noticed that the once glass door was open and had a thin, white curtain was in the doorway.

He went to the edge of his balcony and sat on the railing listening to the crying from inside the room. As he listened closer, soft music could be heard from the room and the person inside there was softly singing along with it. The voice so pure and perfect, and yet so full of sadness.

He shook his head and looked for a way to get over to the room. He finally found one after a few minutes. It was just he had to get down from his and climb the rose ladder to get there. He decided that he would do just that. Then, he climbed down his wall and began to climb the other.

He heard the cries from the person get a bit louder as she continued to sing. The singing soon stopped as he got to the balcony and he thought it was that she saw him, but she was crying more now. He felt a bit sorry for her, but how could he if he didn't know who it was.

As he got to the doorway, he knocked softly at the wood. He heard the girl gasp and run for something, then she opened a small patch out of the curtain. Her look was exactly what he expected, but the person wasn't who he expected. "Kagome?" he asked, seeming confused.

She looked pretty shocked herself. "What do you want!" she half yelled, halfbawled at him. Tears were streaming down her face and washing away the ones that had dried there. She looked, in a way, great. A crying angel, just what he needed right now.

"I heard crying and singing," he said slowly. He noticed that she was pulling the curtain more open. He saw that her room was filled with lights and darks, mostly whites and blacks. All the pictures she had on her wall were black and white. Everything was black and white. even the walls were, everyother one was painted white or black. The floor had white carpet and the ceiling was black. It seemed her room was trapped in an old time television show.

"Yeah, so what?" She turned around and headed back inside her room. She seemed to have changed from her school clothes to a pair of black shorts and white shirt. She really was into black and white. "You can leave now," she said, noticing that he hadn't left yet. She sat on her bed and just looked at her feet.

"Why? You don't seem feeling too good. Are you okay?" he asked, seeming a bit annoyed with her right now. He didn't want to see her upset, it would ruin everything. He stepped into her room and walked straight to her with only three good strides.

He squated in front of her and looked up. "Are you okay?" He seemed a bit worried about what was making her like this. Why, he didn't know. He placed a hand on her cheek and wiped away of few of her tears.

"I... I'm fine," she answered, looking away from him. She seemed to blush as his hand touched her. He smiled inside and thought of what she would do if he touched her someplace else, but he wasn't going to do that. Not yet anyway.

"Okay then. Do you wanna talk about it?" he asked. He was trying to be sensitive just so that she would trust him.

A few tears fell down her face and she started bawling again. She fell into his arms and cried into his shoulder. "My dad and older sister just died and my mom decides to move us here. Why would she do this to me? It's so unfair. I can't believe that she would do this to both of us," she explained.

He had asked what had happened to her dad and sister and she began telling him. She started with how they were driving back from the store and a big oncoming truck had been speeding through the intersection. Kagome had been in the car with them and she managed to survive, but they didn't. She told him how she didn't understand that. How could that have happened? she asked him. He had no clue, but let her continue on with her story. Apparently, they had been in acoma and only stayed like that for an hour or two.

Once she was done, tears were now streaming all the way down her face and she was gripping onto his shirt, crying on his shoulder. He felt really bad for her. To go through that and then have to move right afterwards. He patted her back and let her cry.

He perked up and heard giggling coming from the outside of the bedroom. He noticed that the laughing stayed in front of her door. He seemed confused.

Then it stopped and he just went back to comforting Kagome. The door then flew open and both of them looked up to find their parents in the doorway kissing and Inuyasha's father's hands around Kagome's mother's waist. What was going on here?

Their parents looked as shocked as they were. It probably looked weird to see their parents wrapped in each other and then the kids wrapped in each other as well.

"What is going on?" all four of them said in unison. They all just stared at each other and waited for answers from the other.
