Sengoku High by yasha012

New School

Kagome's POV

 ‘I can't believe I'm actually going to Sengoku High!’

Kagome smiled to herself and continued to get dressed. Once she was done, she ran to the bathroom and brushed her hair. After that, she grabbed her backpack and ran downstairs.

Her mother, who was making something delicious for breakfast, called out to her.

"Good morning Kagome!"

"Morning mom!"

She quickly turned down the hall and headed for the door.

"See you later!"

Her mother poked her head out of the kitchen.

"What about breakfast?"

But it was too late. Kagome was already out the door, shouting something about eating on the way.

"Well alright then…"

"I better hurry! If I don't, I might miss the train!" Kagome exclaimed as she sprinted toward the train station.

Sengoku High was located in the very center of the city of Tokyo, far from where Kagome lived, but she was willing to put up with the hour long commute so she could attend the school. And boy was she looking forward to it! She'd heard so many things about it from her friend Sango, and she couldn't wait to see it for herself. Sango was actually the one who had convinced her to switch schools in the first place, and honestly, the thought of going to such a school frightened her at first. After all, that school was only for the best of the best. There was no way she'd fit in there, and she wouldn't be able to get in anyway. It was, after all, next to impossible to get accepted. But Sango had convinced her otherwise, and Kagome enrolled. And by some miracle, she was accepted. It was amazing.

FLASHBACK

"But I thought only super talented people could get in! You know, 'the best of the best'!" Kagome said to Sango over the phone when she'd found out she'd been accepted.

"But you are super talented!" Sango had replied. "Have you seen your artwork lately? And your singing voice! God, you're like an angel at the mic Kagome!"

"I don't know, Sango. I mean, my artwork's okay, but I still think I need to improve."

"It's better than okay! But I do agree that you can always try to improve it. You know what they say: 'there's always room for improvement!'"

"And as far as my singing goes, you and I both know I'm no good, and I'm certainly no angel. More like dying ogre-pig hybrid."

"That's not true! Why would you even think that?"

"Because I've heard myself."

Sango sighed, deciding that it was better not to argue.

"Fine, so singing isn't one of your talents. But drawing is! I've never seen someone who can draw as good as you can!"

"If you say so."

"I swear, you're so pessimistic sometimes."

END FLASHBACK

'I am not.' Kagome thought as she boarded the train.

It was a very big train. A bullet train, she thought. Just as she'd expected, it was noisy and very crowded. Just about everyone in Tokyo seemed to be riding the same train. But despite all that, Kagome continued to smile, determined not to let this ruin her day.

'Today is going to be a good day.' She reminded herself.

And why shouldn't it be? She was, after all, about to start her first day at her new high school with her best friend Sango.

'Now what was it Sango warned me about again?' She wondered.

She thought for a while, and finally, a word popped into her mind.

Inuyasha.

'I wonder what that is.' She thought.

Ignoring her friend's warning for now, she looked out the window. There were buildings, houses, trees, and such as far as the eye could see. And on the horizon, just above the tallest buildings, parts of the mountains surrounding the city could be seen. It was there that a very powerful demoness was said to live.

'I heard she's very cruel.' She thought, completely lost in her thoughts.

Suddenly, the train came to a stop at the train station in the center of the city.

"Oh my gosh! I nearly forgot!" Kagome said, grabbing her backpack and putting it on.

Once the train's doors opened, she shot out like a rocket and ran the half mile remaining to get to school. Once she got to the parking lot, she stopped to catch her breath. Once she was done panting, she ran to the office to get her schedule. After she got her schedule, she was assigned a locker, and she hurried over to where it was.

"Let's see here, where's locker 236?" She wondered as she wandered up and down the hallways.

There was still a good half hour before school started, so she didn't rush too much trying to find it. But after about ten minutes of useless searching, she began to get worried, and she soon found herself back in the large hall area where the main entrance was. With a sigh, she began to look around for someone who might be able to help her. Soon, her eyes landed on a boy with long silver hair, pulling books out of a pitch-black locker on the left side of the hall. From where she was standing, she could see that he was wearing a white kimono with orange flower patterns on it. He was wearing a sort of demon armor and soft black shoes. He looked to be some sort of demon. He had a black crescent moon on the center of his forehead, giving him away as a dog demon; one of some sort of status. His eyes were golden and had a very gentle, almost thoughtful look in them. He had pointed ears, like that of an elf. His nails looked human, though she guessed that they could become claws if he wanted them to.

'He seems nice enough.' She thought with a smile. 'Maybe he can help me.'

She walked over to him and gently tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped as if he'd just received an electric shock and looked at her with wary eyes.

"Sorry! Did I startle you?"

He shook his head.

"Good." She replied with a smile. "Anyway, I'm new here, and I've been trying to find locker 236. Would you mind helping me please?"

He seemed to relax a little and nodded his head. He turned slightly and pointed to the right side of the hall. She looked over and soon spotted her locker.

"Oh! Thank you so much!" She exclaimed turning around.

But when she turned around, he was gone.

"I wonder where he went…" She wondered thoughtfully.

With a shrug, she hurried over to her locker. It was a plain locker, not decorated like the others.

'Guess I'll just have to change that.' She thought with a smile.

"Hey Kagome!"

Kagome whirled around to see someone running towards her.

"Sango!" She exclaimed with a smile.

"Hey!" Sango said once she'd caught up to her. "I was beginning to think you didn't make it!"

"Yeah, I almost didn't. I nearly forgot to get off the train!"

They both shared a laugh.

"How could you almost forget to get off the train?" Sango asked, still laughing.

"I don't know! I was thinking!" Kagome replied, also still laughing.

"Well, I hope you didn't have any problems finding your locker, at least. I know I did!"

"Yeah, I kinda got lost trying to find it. But this guy with long silver hair helped me find it."

"Inuyasha?"

"Huh?"

"Kagome, was he wearing a red kimono? Did he have puppy dog ears?"

"What? No, his ears were pointy." She said. "You know, like an elf's."

"What was he wearing?" Sango asked.

"Uh, I don't know… He was… He was wearing a white kimono with… With um… An orange flower pattern, I think. Oh, and I'm pretty sure he was wearing some kind of demon armor too."

"Really? What did he look like?" Sango asked, genuinely curious now, and wanting to know more.

"Um… Well, he had these claws, or at least I think they were claws, they looked like regular human nails though."

"So they were retractable?"

"Yeah, probably. He also had this black crescent moon marking on the center of his forehead. I think he was a dog demon."

"One of status." Sango said, nodding.

"Yeah. And his eyes… Oh, they were gorgeous. They were beautiful and golden. I've never seen such soulful eyes. It was like I could totally read him just by looking at his eyes."

"Wow." Sango seemed to think for a moment. "Yeah, I don't know anyone like that."

"What?" Kagome said with a surprised look. "I thought you said you knew everyone here!"

"I did." Sango said, nodding and still looking thoughtful. "Maybe he's also a new student."

Kagome shrugged.

"Yeah, maybe."

"Anyway, we should probably get to class."

"Yeah. Hey, do you know where room 386 is?"

"Yeah, that's where I'm going actually!"

"Sweet!"

They started to walk off, but they were stopped by a voice.

"Hey! New girl!"

Kagome turned around.

"Huh?"

"He said 'hey, new girl!'" Another voice said.

"I have a name."

"Stuff it." A third voice said.

Sango pushed Kagome behind her and confronted the owner of the first voice.

"What the hell do you want Inuyasha?"

"What I want is to talk to the new girl." Said Inuyasha.

Kagome spoke up again.

"I have a name!"

"And I don't care!"

"Come on Kagome. We're going." Sango said as they turned to leave.

"Hold it!" Inuyasha shouted.

Before they could get very far, Inuyasha's clawed hand shot out and grabbed Kagome's arm. He gripped her arm very hard and spun her around.

"Ow! Let go! You're hurting me!" She cried.

"Then shut up and listen! Me and my friends here," He gestured with his head to his two friends. "We run this place. You understand? We tell you to do something, you do it. Follow our rules, and nobody gets hurt."

And with that he let her go and he and his two friends, laughing, walked off, shouting something to some other student about "payment."

"Jerks." Kagome muttered while holding her arm.

"Yeah, they really are. You okay? Your arm's bleeding."

"Yeah, I'm fine. His claws just dug into my skin, that's all."

"You sure? We should probably take you to the nurse…"

"No, I'm fine. Really."

"Alright then. If you're sure."

"Come on. Let's get to class."

"Right."

A/N The next chapter will be Sesshomaru's POV. Also, the locker area looks a lot like the one in the show Victorious.
