----------------------------------------------------------

The feel of the waves against the sand swept over her feet as she walked along the beach. The tip of a wave crept over her feet as she glided along doing nothing but breathing. The gentle breeze blew her long dark brown hair across her back. All she wanted was some peace and quiet, and this was the only place where she could get it.

“Kagome, time to come in,” called her mother.

“Coming,” she called, a little upset. There goes my quiet time.

The next few days went by quickly. Kagome stayed to herself in this new place. Moving from Japan to Hawaii was never easy on a person, especially someone like Kagome who didn’t enjoy such enormous changes. She took long walks along the beach at night and hardly ever went into town, but when school came she knew she’d have to leave the sanctuary that her home provided her and venture out into the busy world. That time had, unfortunately, come.

“Maybe I’ll wear this,” Kagome said holding up a bright orange shirt with yellow string intertwined in the sides. She had to look her best, first impressions were always the most important, but what was the use? Nothing would cheer her up. All she wanted to do was go back home. She missed all her friends, relatives, and her shrine. She missed everything about it. Things that she had never paid attention to when she was there. The well, her room, everything. All things she treasured, things that would remain in her memory for all time. These were things she knew no Hawaiian could give her.

“Kagome, hurry up or you’ll be late! You still need to take Souta to school,” her mother called from downstairs.

“I’m coming.” Kagome didn’t have time to think anymore. She had to get ready for her first day at a Hawaiian school. She threw on her orange shirt and grabbed a pair of pants, rushed to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and did her daily routine. In all, she was ready in about 20 minutes.

After dropping Souta off at the middle school, Kagome headed to high school. When she got there she automatically noticed the size. It was humongous! Three stories tall, with teenagers everywhere and a short fat old woman in the middle yelling at everyone.

“No running,” Principal Kaede said grabbing a boy by his arm while Kagome walked up.

“Hello, my name is Kagome Higurashi. I’m the new girl from Japan.”

“Yes,” Kaede said looking around. She made a hand motion signaling a girl around Kagome’s age to come. She walked up tossing her long dark hair to one side.

“Kikyo, be a dear and show Miss Higurashi around the school. Today is her first day, I don’t want her to get lost.”

“Yes ma’m, I loved too,” she replied plastering a disgustingly fake smile on her face while grabbing Kagome’s arm and dragging her toward the school. When Kikyo was sure that Principal Kaede was out of ear shot, she dropped Kagome’s arm like it was a deadly disease and turned to glare at her. Looking her up and down she made a disgusting face full of disapproval.

“Ok look,” Kikyo said, “ I don’t know you, nor do I want to. Follow me for one day then go away. Simple as that. We don’t talk, you don’t sit with me a lunch, and everything is fine. Got it.”

“I think I’ll pass,” Kagome said as she turned and walked off. As she stepped into the school she noticed how large it was. It was two, no three times as big as her old school.

“Really,” Kikyo said as she walked up from behind Kagome. “You know, from that look on your face, I’d think you wouldn’t last a day in this school. Look around. This is a much bigger school than any you’ve ever been to. It’s the biggest school in all of Hawaii. You won’t last a week!”

“That sounds like a challenge to me,” Kagome replied.

“No, just the facts.”

“Care to make a little bet on that?”

“Sure, I could use the extra cash.”

“Fine, if I can last a full week without getting lost, I win.”

“No, that’s too easy. Instead, you see that guy over there, the one with the long dark hair,” Kikyo said pointing.

Looking around, Kagome saw a young man with long dark hair and what looked like a purple shirt on. She couldn’t exactly tell because his back was toward her, but she was sure that was who Kikyo was talking about.

“Yeah, I see him.”

“You get him to take you to the first school dance, then you win. Deal?”

“Deal!”

“Now what do we wager,” Kikyo said tapping her chin with her index finger. “Hmmm, twenty five bucks.”

“Nope, not enough. How about fifty.”

“FIFTY!”

“Not too confidant are we,” Kagome replied.

“Fine fifty,” Kikyo said as she turn around and stalked off throwing her hair into Kagome’s face.

What a bitch, Kagome thought Now, to find the front office.

Well that’s it for chapter one. What did you guys think so far. For the next chapter, we meet the guy with the dark hair (Inuyasha), Sango and Miroku! Plus we see if Kagome will find her way to the front office! Don’t forget to R&R!
