She's Different

First chapter The new Mr. Popular

"Hey Kags!"

Kagome kept walking, to a casual observer, she hadn't heard her name being called. But the few people who were her friends, knew better. Eri caught up to her friend and walked with her.

"Have you heard?" Eri asked her friend.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"There's a new guy coming to our school! Apparently, he's Mr. Tashio's son! Very rich and hansome too!" Eri squealed zealously.

Mr. Tashio was the millionaire who had founded 'Tashio Corp' the very successful mining company. A few years earlier, the company had hit a mining jackpot, the land that they had bought then had tonnes of coal buried within it's depths. The fairly small company had practically expanded overnight and now has offices all over the world. The owner of the company, a Youkai who had been scorned up to that point became famous. The people who had scorned him now try to gain his attention.

Kagome stopped walking for a moment. "So what?" She said, not fazed. "He's just a guy."

Eri made a face at her friend "How can you say that? The girl who gets his attention will get showered with expensive gifts and sh-" Eri cut off as she saw Kagome had already walked away and was about to turn the corner. "Hey! Where are you going?!" Eri yelled as she ran to catch up.

She did catch up to her friend, just as she was about to go past the school gates. Kagome raised an eyebrow at Eri "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to school." Eri sighed, "You take exciting news way too calmly... I wonder which homeroom he's going to be in. Maybe he'll be in ours!" Eri looked dreamy at the prospect. Ascending the steps that led to the school, the girls walked in silence, Eri fantasizing and Kagome thinking.

Pushing through the crowded corridors of Noshika High, they finally reached their homeroom. Kagome opened the door... Only to find a huge group of girls huddled together all shouting and squealing. Kagome, as calm as ever, made her way to her usual seat at the back of the room. Eri joined the group, jumping to get a look at what they were all clamouring about. Seeing what was in the middle of the bunch of fangirls, her eyes widened. "Oh. My. God." She thought. " He really is in our homeroom!!"

Just as her trail of thought ended, the bell rang, signalling all the students to go to their homerooms. Slightly put out, the clump of girls broke up and shot jealous glares at Eri and Kagome. They were in the same homeroom as their target. Just as most of the girls left, the room began to fill up again. The teacher walking in as well as the regular people in the homeroom.

When the class had settled, the teacher cleared his throat. "Class, as you might have already noticed, we have a new student in our class. Mr. Tashio? Would you like to introduce yourself?"

A boy was standing at the front of the room, his arms crossed. The student began to whisper among themselves. Eri slipped a note to Kagome who had, just looked up from the book she had been reading. I can't believe he's in our homeroom!! Kagome looked to the front of the classroom. Her eyes took in the features of the boy standing there. He had long, pure silver hair. On his head, two twitching triangles sat. "Are those his ears?" Kagome asked herself. Intense golden eyes graced his face, making it seem angelic. His mouth however... The arrogant smirk it was pulled into was everything but angelic, his clothing also not so. He wore a black shirt with the words 'Bad Ass' printed in red writing. His jeans, though top quality were torn and hung low on his hips as designed. Converse shoes adorned his feet and a bead necklace with two strange fanglike shapes peeked over his shirt.

The class calmed down. Finally, the boy spoke. "Yo. I'm Inuyasha." He flashed a grin at his classmates, making the girls swoon. Kagome stared at him. "What an arrogant bastard! Just because he thinks he's hot and his Daddy is a millionaire!" Kagome thought angrily.

"Would you like to tell a little bit more about you? Your age? Perhaps your likes and dislikes?" The teacher prompted. Inuyasha glared at the teacher before speaking again. "I'm 17. I like my space, Ferraris, Tennis, Funny people, my house... Mansion... and pretty ladies." He winked at the girls in the room. "I hate Maths, Nerds, people who crowd around me, Uniforms, Old people and my brother."

The teacher, a 73 year old, gulped at his statement. "Er... Inuyasha, thank you for sharing that with us... Please find a seat."

Inuyasha picked his way across the room and chose the one next to Kagome. Kagome refused to turn her head to look at him like the rest of the class. Inuyasha noticed this. "Who is this girl? She's not paying any attention to me." He thought to himself. Inuyasha looked at this strange girl. Taking in her raven black hair and flawless skin. "Hey." He said suddenly. "What's your name?"

Kagome finally turned towards him. "Why the hell should I tell you?" She glared. The whole class gasped. She'd just been rude to the wealthiest, hottest piece of man on the campus of Noshika High. He was taken aback, but quickly covered his shocked expression with a smirk. "Because I asked you, wench." He retorted.

A furious Kagome stood abruptly and schooled her face into her usual blank facade. "My name is not 'Wench'. It's Kagome Higurashi. KA-GO-ME. Got it?" With that, she gathered her things and walked out of the classroom, calmly ignoring the teacher's calls for her to come back. Leaving the class in a shocked silence.

The bell rang.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Inuyasha grumbled to himself. "Nobody's ever talked to me like that." He walked over to one of the empty tables in the cafeteria with the lunch that he had bought at the school's canteen. He sat down and began to eat his sandwich. Two minutes later, someone tapped his shoulder. Inuyasha turned, to find a boy about his age. The boy, dressed in a purple shirt with the letters H, O, U, S,H and I spaced out on it, a pair of cargo pants and a pair of combat boots were on his feet. His black hair was pulled into a small ponytail.

"Can I sit here?" The boy asked, pointing to the empty seat opposite Inuyasha. "Sure." The white haired Hanyou replied. The boy sat down. "I'm Miroku Kazanna by the way." he introduced himself. "Inuyasha" Inuyasha said.

"So you're the new kid everyone's been talking about? Nice to meet ya!" Miroku said.

"Yeah.. You too."

After the pair had talked for about twenty minutes, Inuyasha asked Miroku an interesting question.

"Do you know a girl name Kagome Higurashi?" He enquired.

"Yes! She is my, uhm, friend's best friend!" Miroku replied.

"Hmm... So you could tell me about her then." Inuyasha pondered.

"Ask away my friend." The other boy said.

The rest of lunch passed with Inuyasha asking certain raven haired female and Miroku answering them. In the thirty minutes they discussed her. Inuyasha grew increasingly interested in this strange girl.

"What do you think of him?" Sango asked her best friend.

"He's a pompous jerk." Kagome drawled.

"What?! He's the hottest guy I've ever laid my eyes on!" Eri screeched.

"Doesn't stop him being a bastard." Kagome said, unfazed by her friend's reaction.

Thr group of girls were on the roof of the school. The least used place on the Noshika High campus. The wind was strong and their hair whipped around, the strands making it hard to see. Kagome was leaning against the wall that prevented people just walking off the three storey high roof. Her two friends where sitting near the corner, attempting to block the wind with the two walls.

"He's the richest guy on campus!" Eri said. "Doesn't that count for something?"

"He uses that to cover for his attitude problem." Kagome said. "I don't want to talk about him anymore."

The three girls finished their lunch and walked slowly into the main part of the school again just as the bell rang, ending lunch time.

"I have Maths" Eri said, pulling a face. "See you guys later!"

Sango and Kagome continued to walk towards the gym, as their next class was P.E. After changing, the girls made their way to where the class was starting to gather. Spotting a certain popular hanyou, Kagome cursed in her head. "He's in our class." She whispered to Sango.

Before Sango could reply, a boy with hair pulled back into a short ponytail approached her. "Hello fair Sango." He said, his hand falling towards her behind. Sango sidestepped to avoid the wandering hand and replied warily "Hi Miroku."

"Sango, we've know each other for a while now. I have a very serious question to ask yo-"

"Class! Today we will be learning Tennis. Please get into pairs and follow my instructions carefully. Oh, one more thing. The pairs are to be boy/girl." Their teacher ordered.

Inuyasha made his way to Kagome, ignoring the other girls who tried to ask him to be their partner. Meanwhile, the other members of the class got themselves into pairs, leaving only Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha smiled, perfect. Kagome looked around to see only her and the hanyou without a partner. "Damn!" She thought. Inuyasha went up to her. "Want to be my partner?" he asked smirking. "No? Well... You have no choice."
