AN: Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything and I just wanted to apologize for that. I just got a new computer.

Two of my stories are actually in complete and if you have been reading them I apologize but don't orry they will be completed. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this story about Inuyasha and his friends. It was really hard for me to come up with some good ideas! Enjoy and always read and review!

Kagome stood in front of the mirror gazing at the reflection the glass. Her uniform was pressed and ready. The short green skirt was plaid with navy, white, and other shades of green. She wore a white blouse and a green tie, covered with a navy blazer that carried Academy's school emblem above her right breast. To top it off she adorned knee high stockings along with a pair of brown Mary Jane's. The dress code policy really is strict in high school, she thought. Regardless the crisp uniform was flattering to her figure, and brought out her radiant facial features.

This is my first day in a new school; a freshman and on the bottom of the totem pole. Oh well, at least my friends will be there too. Kagome sighed. She was nervous, but in an excited way. She knew high school was going to be much different from middle school. She truly felt like a teenager now, even though at fifteen, she should have felt like one for some time. But now that she was in high school, it just seemed like the icing on the cake.

"Kagome, breakfast is ready!" called her mother from downstairs.

"Coming!" she replied as she exited her bedroom.

When she entered the kitchen, she was not at all surprised to see her family gawking at her new attire.

"Wow, sis, you look so different," commented her little brother Souta.

"Oh Kagome!" said Mrs. Hirgurashi with watery eyes, "You look so grown up in that uniform!"

"Thanks mom, but you don't have to be so emotional. It's my first day I will be fine!" smiled the fifteen year-old.

Kagome was about to sit down, when her grandfather jumped in front of her waving a sutra.

"Gramps what are you doing?" she exclaimed.

"Merely a sacred blessing for good luck on your first day!" replied the old man.

Kagome sighed as he waved the sutra around her body, and chanted some sort of verse. It was to be expected, after all, her family lived and took care of one of the oldest shrines in the city, and her grandfather was the shrine keeper.

When he was finished, Kagome gobbled up her fried egg and swallowed some orange juice. She jumped up and ran for the door.

"Bye, everyone, I'll see you when I get home!" she called.

She smiled as the sun hit her face the moment she stepped outside. It was a beautiful day, a good omen for the first day of school. It meant a promising and exciting year. She walked down the steps that led to the shrine and onto the busy streets of the city. It was a ten minute walk to Academy, and she had made it a point to arrive a few minutes early.

"Hey Kagome, wait up!" called a friendly voice.

Kagome turned to see Hojo; a friendly boy eh had gone to middle school with running to catch up with her.

"Hi, Hojo, are you excited for our first day?"

He nodded smiling, "Of course, may I walk with you?"

"Um yea, I don't see why not."

"Great!" he smiled.

The two of them walked together and carried out a friendly conversation until they finally reached Academy. As they stood at the school gates, she started to feel overwhelmed. The school was enormous in size, and equal in beauty. It was built of stone and reminded Kagome more of a small university rather than a high school. The campus was adorned with numerous trees, bushes, and flowers, along with benches, where one could sit and study or simply relax.

No wonder they say Academy is the premier high school in the city, she thought to herself.

"Kagome!" cried three female voices.

She turned to see Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri, her three best friends. They were all dressed in the same uniform as Kagome. She smiled at them, "Hey you guys! Are you excited?"

"Hojo!" said Eri. "Did you walk Kagome all the way here?"

"Yeah, we walked together," he replied somewhat shyly.

Is he blushing? Kagome blinked twice, a little confused. But before she knew it, she was being pulled away by her three girlfriends as they waved goodbye to a babbling Hojo.

"Hey what are you guys doing?" Kagome cried.

"He walked you here?" they asked at the same time.

"Yea, so what?" she replied.

"Kagome, Hojo is definitely the best looking freshman guy at Academy!" said Yuka.

"You have to go out with him!" exclaimed Eri.

"It would be so romantic…" Ayumi said dreamily.

"Well I like Hojo and all, but I don't know if I think of him like that," said Kagome as she walked along.

"What?!" they all exclaimed at once.

"But he's the cutest boy in our grade and he's obviously into you!" exclaimed Eri.

"Sorry, but for now I jut want to get used to high school," replied Kagome.

Her friends frowned but continued to follow her and walk together towards the entrance of the great building. Kagome noticed a group of girls gathering off to their right.

"What's going on over there?" she asked.

The girls all looked. Suddenly, Yuka smiled broadly. "Oh my goodness, that's Miroku!"

"Miroku?" asked Kagome.

"Kagome, haven't you heard anything about Academy? Miroku is one of the best looking guys on campus! He's also said to be one of the most charming boys any girl would ever want to meet!"

Kagome looked at the boy. He was handsome, she had to admit. He had a pleasant and friendly face, with dark hair that was pulled back into a little ponytail. His ears were pierced, which gave him sort of a rebellious sort of feel. She heard his voice over the crowd of girls.

"Ladies, ladies please. It is good to be back, but so much attention from beautiful young women such as you is simply too much for the first day." He smiled happily as he strode off into the building, several girls still lagging behind following him.

"Wow, what a hunk!" said Ayumi.

Kagome rolled her eyes.

The bell rang and suddenly everyone was rushing into the building.

"Come on, you guys," said Ayumi. "Let's go to the auditorium so we can get a good seat for the freshman assembly."

000000

The assembly was nothing more than a brief orientation to the school .The headmaster came out and spoke about the school's history and outstanding reputation. They were all assigned a locker number, handed their schedules and ushered off to homeroom to begin the day.

Kagome sat in her homeroom desk, as they waited for morning announcements, to come on and stared at her schedule. One Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays she had history, biology, and algebra, accompanied by a study hall/ free period at the end of the day. She frowned; math was always her weak point. Tuesdays and Thursdays, were elective days. She was supposed to sign up for electives and clubs or athletics today after school in the gymnasium.

So far so good, she thought. High school isn't going to be too bad.

"Looks like we have history and math together," whispered Hojo over the morning announcements.

Kagome smiled, "That's great! At least we can find our way around the building together."

Hojo nodded. "Do you know what electives you are going to be taking?"

"Not yet. I guess the only way to figure it out is to go to the fair after school. They said there are going to be all kinds of booths set up for electives, clubs, and athletics. What about you, Hojo?"

"I was thinking about maybe joining the soccer team... I'm not really sure though."

"That sounds nice, it would be fun to watch you play," laughed Kagome.

Hojo beamed radiantly at her. "Kagome, I was wondering…would you like to go to a movie on Friday night?"

Kagome suddenly looked up at him sharply. What was she going to do? Did he mean a date?

"Do you mean like on date?"

"Well… yea" said Hojo as he blushed a deep red.

The bell suddenly rang. Kagome nearly jumped out of her seat. "Sorry Hojo, but I have to go to class! I will talk to you at lunch okay?" she ran off down the hallway.

"What am I going to do?" she asked herself as she walked down the halls looking for the right room. "If I don't go out with him, my friends would never forgive me!"

She came to her destination and sat down for class.

It was the end of the day. She had managed to make it through the day, avoiding Hojo and avoiding giving him an answer. When she met up with Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi for lunch, she did not even mention his name and she was thankful that they had forgotten the subject as well. They were all too smitten with the boy Miroku.

It was the last period of the day, her free period and Kagome chose to spend it in the library. She had little work to do, but she figured she might as well get it done now when she had the time.

She entered the library and marveled at the rows of shelves. There were numerous tables to sit and study at, and Kagome chose one that was somewhat secluded and private. She liked spending time by herself; it gave her a chance to breathe. Kagome sat down, opened her assignments and began.

Miroku sat down cheerfully at the table. He kicked his feet up and leaned back with his arms behind his head.

"This is going to be a good year!" he said.

"Feh, what makes you think so?" asked the white haired young man sitting across from him.

"Young, beautiful, freshman girls, who are all, waiting for some upper classman to sweep them off their feet!"

"…or pervert."

Miroku frowned, "Honestly, Inuyasha, I do not know why you think so little of me sometimes. I cannot help but admire beauty, and with so many newcomers, I have to be able to accommodate."

"What about Sango?" smirked Inuyasha.

"Sango is still very near and dear to my heart, and she would understand my motives completely."

"I'll bet," Inuyasha retorted. "She is your 'girlfriend'. It's a wonder she's put up with you for this long."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Inuyasha."

"I do," said a female voice.

Miroku nearly fell out of his chair. Sango stood directly behind them. "What's the matter Miroku? Did you say something I wasn't supposed to hear?"

"Sango, my sweet!" he stood up and put his arms around her. She raised her brows and glared at Inuyasha who simply rolled his eyes. Sango was just about to push him away when she felt a hand gracefully slide down along her backside.

"Ouch! What was that for?" asked Miroku as he rubbed his red cheek.

"Miroku, when are you going to learn to keep your hands to yourself?"

"You are my girlfriend!"

"Yeah, and your girlfriend doesn't want you groping her in public! Why don't you go feel up one of the little freshman in your fan club?" she snapped.

Miroku turned red at her comment.

"That's what I thought," said Sango as she sat down at the table. "Sorry, about that Inuyasha."

"I'm used to it," muttered the white haired young man. The couple squabbled like this all the time. It wasn't anything new or unusual for his long time friends.

They were in the back part of the library, they wouldn't disturb anyone here anyways and no one would disturb them…at least that's what he thought…until he saw her.

He caught sight of her walking towards them. At first he thought she would come right up to him and casually sit down, but instead she chose to bear off to the right and chose a seat at a small table next to the window. He watched her as she looked outside at the bright sun, until she flipped open her notebook and began to work on an assignment.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.

"It's her…"

Sango and Miroku looked over to the direction he was staring at and their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. It was a girl with soft, yet beautifully striking features and long dark hair. Her brown eyes were concentrating on the assignment she was working on, and she did not seem to notice the attention she was drawing to herself.

"But how?" Sango whispered. "It can't be…"

"Inuyasha, it can't be her, we all know it to be impossible," muttered Miroku.

Inuyasha stared at her the girl and felt a swirl of emotions overtake him. He shook his head. It was truly impossible, but there she was! Kikyo?

AN: Okay so I hope you liked it, but here's the deal: I am going to continue writing this story but will only post a new chapter if I get at least ten reviews. I have so much on my plate right now that it's going to be hard to keep up with it all, so if this needs dropped I will do it. I hate to be like this but with me trying to finish two other epic stories, it's going to be hard not to. Thanks so much and feel free to email me personally at
