Well if you know me on fanfiction.net then you’ll know that this story isn’t new. It’s quite a few years old but I took a break writing it to not only get my thoughts together on it but got caught up writing other stories. Hope you’ll enjoy this story, I believe the chapters will stay kinda short but sweet.

Ch. 1 The New Guy

It was all over newspapers, magazines and the internet. He was the newest and hottest international male supermodel who goes by the name of Saito Takahashi. There was very little known about him other than the fact that he is a demon and that he’s from Japan. All females drool for him and could only wish to meet him one day…well all females but a girl named Kagome Higurashi.

Kagome was a very down to earth girl. Don’t get her wrong, she drools over the mysterious model as well but she knows to never get her hopes up on anything like that. As if she’ll ever meet a celebrity as big as that. She’s just a humble high school senior, a highly intelligent one at that. Besides, she was sure that a man as gorgeous as that could have any woman he wanted when he wanted them.

She mentally scowled at that thought, its people like that she really can’t stand. It was just a walking STD waiting to happen. She sighed knowing that it wouldn’t make a difference because when you give someone a little bit of power, they just abuse it until they bring on their downfall. She smiled at that, soon whoever this god is would eventually be forgotten.

Kagome was coming up to her favorite place in the courtyard during the lunch break. She couldn’t wait to sit in the less congested area, which was surrounded by the sakura trees. As she got closer, she spotted a figure sitting right under her most favorite tree. She stopped unable to take her eyes off of him. She’s never seen anything so…nerdy before. He was just reading away as if he had done so many times before. 

He seemed very sickly with his pale skin that looked as if there was no life in him what so ever and he always wore big clothes making him look very skinny. The only, and I do mean only, color that he had was the golden eyes that had thick rimmed glasses over them, scanning away at the pages and were hid under the bangs of his hair which he kept flicking over his shoulder and putting behind his pointed ears. And speaking of hair, she thought his hair was very pretty silver although, it looked like it needed a combing. She wondered how it felt, but if it was bothering him that much, then maybe it didn’t feel as good as she thought.

“Go on and insult me so that we can both get on with our lives, I wish to be alone.” His voice was far from his appearance. It was smooth and silky something to make a woman melt.

When she realized that he was glaring at her, that’s when she remembered what was going on.

“Uh…I wasn’t going to insult you I…”

“Then what do you want.” It wasn’t a question, it was a demand to either speak now or turn back.

“Well it’s just that I like to sit here during lunch…”

“I will not remove from this place, you are disturbing the only peace I’ve gotten ever since I started entered this school.”  He sneered as he cut her off once more. “Now excuse yourself and leave me to my reading.”

Kagome just scowled at him but he paid no attention to it as he ignored her and went back to his reading. She became even angrier, she wasn’t going to kick him out of her space, although she felt like doing it now since he was such an asshole about everything.

He growled when she walked over and plopped herself right on the other side of the tree but said nothing once she settled down. Kagome didn’t really like the silence. She just had to talk whenever someone was around her, but after how he was acting, she would rather keep it silent  

Finally, the bell rang and she saw out the corner how quick but graceful he stood up. She then noticed that he was a very tall guy wearing blue jeans that he kept around his waist and a long sleeved sweatshirt. Why in the world he would wear something like that at the end of summer, the hottest days, she would never know.

She noticed him glaring at her once more for staring at him and she quickly stood up herself and quickly went to class leaving him there. While sitting in class, she just couldn’t get him out of her mind. She should have felt creped out from thinking about him but she didn’t. His appearance, as strange as it seemed, was familiar to her.

Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts when a magazine was dropped down on her desk. There on the cover was, of course, the hottest male on the planet. She looked up to see her best friend sitting on side of her.

“Hey Sango, what with the magazine?” Kagome asked knowing that Sango placed it on her desk for a reason.

“Haven’t you heard?”

“I’ve heard of a lot of things.”

“Well you obviously haven’t heard of this, it’s being spread all around school. This handsome devil is here in Japan and is to be making an appearance at the new clothing store at the mall on Friday.”

Kagome gave her a look as if saying “so…”

“Let’s go to the mall and meet him! It’s been rumored that he’s single so if he sees one of us, he may fall deeply in love with us.”

Kagome shook her head, her friend was such a romantic. “Sango, what makes you think that he would want someone as ordinary as us. Besides, those celebrities would never come, they would either make up some excuse or have a look alike.”

“Kagome, look at this and tell me if there could ever be a look alike.”

Kagome had to hand it to her, she couldn’t answer that. The guy was just too perfect, she knew that no one could pull that look off.

“Well that still doesn’t mean that he could back out.”

“I hope not.”

“It’s just like weak females to lust after something that they can never have.” His cold voice sent shivers down Kagome’s spine.

Both girls turned to see the new guy coming into class. Kagome frowned at him, she didn’t want anything to do with the stupid man.

“For your information, you shouldn’t eavesdrop on other’s conversation. Besides, I would never want whoever he is.”

“I didn’t eavesdrop, your voice is just loud. You’re worse than my half-brother.” He said as he took a seat in the back of the room while flicking more of his hair over his shoulder.

Kagome glared back at him before turning to Sango who was now looking at her as if to ask what just happened. Kagome just rolled her eyes and said, “I had a run-in with him during the brake.”

Sango then leaned in as close as she could so that only Kagome could hear her whisper. “He looks like such a nerd. I heard other students talking about some new weird guy going here. Must be him.”

“Sango, don’t talk about people right in front of them.”

“Yes Sango, don’t talk about people right in front of them.” He said with his eyes closed causing Sango to blush now that she was embarrassed.

Soon the class was filled up completely and the bell rung, the teacher being the last to come in.

“Well class, as you may know, we’ve gotten a new student among us can you please stand up and introduce yourself?”

All eyes went to the only being that stood up. Immediately some of the people in class started whispering, insulting him as if he was the only flaw in a world that was supposed to be perfect. Now Kagome understood what he meant when he thought that she was going to insult him. She wanted to ask him so badly then but she could tell that he would ignore her.

She started getting angry with her snobbish classmates, they don’t even know him and they judge him like a dog.

“My name is Sesshomaru Taisho, I’ve just moved back to Tokyo, and I’m 19.”

He then sat down and people started talking more, laughing at the fact that he must be dumb to still be in high school. Kagome could feel her anger rise more, there are other reasons other than being ignorant. Class took place and the teacher had gotten back control of the class.

Kagome breathed out a sigh of relief when the day was finally over. As she walked back to her locker, she just kept feeling sorry for Sesshomaru. This was his first day and it was hell for him. She saw him at his locker and with a smile, she knew what she was going to do.

Sesshomaru was putting away the books that he wouldn’t need for the night but soon froze then started growling.

“Relax, I’m not here to insult you.” Kagome said as she got closer to him. He didn’t turn, he just kept going about his business as if she wasn’t there. “Look, about what happened today…”

“Save it, I don’t need your pity, besides I don’t care what they think, I never have cared about what others think of me and never will.  

He turned away and started walking but stopped when he heard, “Well I will say it anyway. I’m sorry for how everyone has been treating you. Not all of us act this way and if you need anyone to talk to, you can come to me.”

She just looked at him, well more like his back since he didn’t face her and then watched as he walked away. Although he didn’t face her, he did stop and listened to her. She could tell that he really isn’t as cold as he’s making himself seem. She decided that she would break him out of his shell and help him out any way possible. Everyone needed someone to lean on from time to time. She smiled determined to be there for him.
