Don't Mess With The New Girl by fireice

Chapter One

She walked through the deserted hallways casually. Her black boots tapping on the floor. She had on blue-Jean hip huggers that were split up the front at the bottom and a black shirt that said `mess with me and get ready for some pain' in read letters. Her black mid-back length, wavy hair, with dark blue streaks swung free as she walked. Blue-gray eyes surveyed the class room doors with boredom as she passed.

Just as she reached the middle of the hallway the end of class bell rung. The classroom doors opened and students began to file out noisily. All who saw her walking stopped in fright. One kid stuck his head out to see what all the commotion was about... or rather the lack of it.

As soon as he realized who it was standing there he threw down his books and stormed over to stand in front of the girl, causing her to cease walking and begin to stare at him coldly. He then swung at her and the fight had begun.

The girl ducked and shot him a kick to the head, which connected. He stumbled back a bit dazed, the swung at her angrily they continued exchanging punches and kicks but you could see that the girl was just playing with the boy. He had just gotten his feet knocked out from under him and was about to get pummeled but before it could go any farther two teachers came out. One grabbed the boy while the other laid his hand on the girl's shoulder. (There was no way he could have stopped her fist she pulled back on her own.)

"Enough! There is no fighting allowed in the halls." Said the teacher holding the boy, who was, still, struggling. "Both of you are coming to the principal's office! IMEDEATLY!!"

"No shit, when did you expect us to go? Tonight?" asked the girl.

The teacher turned red from either embarrassment of anger when the students started to snicker behind their hands, she didn't know which "Be quiet, Higarashi!" he barked.

She snapped her head around and glared daggers at him. He took a small step back in fright. She allowed herself a small smirk before letting the teacher herd them to the principal's office. `Just like any other day' thought Kagome.

Once there they sat in two chairs facing the principal's desk. The principal, Mr. Leem, leaned forward with his elbows on the desk.

"Well Kagome, Keisho, what do you have to say for yourselves? Kagome this is you 12th fight this month, and you've only been here for 13 of the days."

Kagome looked at him thoughtfully "Yeah, I was feeling kinda off that one day," she said with a small frown.

The principal gave a disapproving glare before looking at Keisho. "This is your 5th fight, and all with Miss Higarashi here." Keisho glanced at him and then looked at the floor, "Well then, since you have nothing else to say, I'm sorry to have to do this. Kagome you are expelled and Keisho you are suspended for the remainder of he month."

Both looked at him with different reactions. Keisho with shock and fear of what his mother would do when she found out and Kagome with a slightly satisfied look on her face. `Great! Another school to earn a reputation at.' She thought to herself `this school was getting old'

Ring ring ring!

Kagome woke up with a start and turned off her alarm clock. She got out of bed to get dressed thinking of last night.

~~~~Flashback~~~~

She had just gotten home from school after being expelled. Her mom was in the kitchen smoking a cigarette.

"What are you doing home so early?" her mother asks.

"Why do you care you don't even pay enough attention to know what school I go to let alone what time it gets out."

"Shut up! Don't you know that you are supposed to respect your elders? You're just as mouthy as your father was. I don't know why I even decided to keep you your just a slut. Sleeping around with the teachers just to get a grade!"

"You shut up! You know nothing about me let alone what I do! And if anybody is a slut in this house it's you! Always bringing guys home. Maybe it would have been better if you had given me up `cuz you suck at being a mother! We barely have enough food in the cupboards to keep us alive. You spend it all on beer and smokes! Kagome yelled in disgust.

Slap!! Her mother had stood up and slapped her across the face. "You little bitch! You keep your filthy mouth shut! You have no idea what I do for you sending you to that school buying clothes for you to keep you warm!"

"Well you don't have to worry about sending me to that school anymore I got kicked out." She said her face stinging from where her mother's hand had hit her.

"What'd you do this time sleep with the wrong teacher?"

"No. For your information I kicked some kids ass just like I would do to you if you weren't my mother."

Kagome yelled as she ran upstairs to her room not seeing that her mother had flipped her off and went to go get a beer bottle out of the fridge to `drown out her sorrows' as most people put it.

~~~~~ENDFLASHBACK~~~~~

`Probably passed out. Least I won't have to deal with her this morning. Thank God!'

She had finished getting dressed while she had been thinking about yesterday.

Today she wore the same jeans as yesterday and a long sleeve shirt that had a little baby girl on it. The shirt said `I see red, you see black and blue' (AN: it's said that little children get excited when they see bright colors like red or bright green.)

She pulled her hair in a high ponytail to keep it out of her face. Today, strangely enough, she was slightly excited to go to school. She had to go to an alternative school because it was the only other school in her district that she hadn't gotten kicked out of yet. The reason she was excited was because this school had a reputation of having extremely tough teachers that would take no bullshit from the students. And if there was one thing she loved it was messing with people's minds. You see Kagome was a miko. She could use her powers to help her in a fight, which made her unusually strong and fast. She also had the ability to see into people's minds and control them to some extent (it usually depended on how strong the person was mentally.) She had the ability to control the elements to some extent (she was still working on it) and she was also able to move things for a short distance (another thing she was working on). She could see people's auras naturally and detect where anyone was as long as she knew what their ki was. Ki is someone's life force. Each has his or her own wave of ki kinda like someone's finger print. Another thing that came natural was her senses she could (if she focused) hear and smell things going on down the block and if in an open field see things up to a mile away.

Most of this came to her naturally because she was an extremely strong miko, but she had some things that she wanted to try out like flying for instance she wanted to see if she could figure out a way to lift herself off of the ground.

Kagome walked downstairs to see her little brother, Souta, eating cereal. If Kagome had a soft spot for anybody it was for him. After all he hadn't done anything to her he was just a kid. It sucked like hell that he'd have to grow up someday into an adult. Every adult that she had met had either left her or had done something to hurt her. You see she wasn't always like she was now she used to be nice before her dad left her and little Souta with their mother. He had gotten into an accident and had died on his way to the hospital.

Kagome shrugged those thoughts off. She wanted to be in a good mood when she got to her new school.

"Hey, squirt" she called playfully while messing up his hair.

"Hey! I just brushed that I'll have you know." He said with a frown trying to keep himself from grinning. He thought it was totally awesome having a miko for a sister. And one that was as cool as she was on top of it all. "Want some cereal there's a little left in the box?" he said switching moods instantly.

"No thanks I gotta get to school don't wanna be late on my first day. You know it's very bad to make a bad impression." She said with a mock serious expression while walking out the door. Her brother just smiled and went back to eating his cereal.

~~~

"Kay, class sit down the bell has rung." Said the teacher. He looked around his violet eyes roaming over the students as he watched them do what he had said. His name was Mr. Miroku Houshi. He had shoulder length black hair that was tied at the base of his neck. He had on the regular shirt, tie, and jacket that teachers normally have on. "Today we have a new student so I would like you to make her welcome."

Kagome walked into the classroom and looked around. Almost everybody was staring at her but that was nothing new so she ignored it.

"Class this is Kagome Higurashi. Would you tell us a little about yourself?" Mr. Houshi asked. (AN: I'm just gonna call him Miroku from now on.)

"Sure. The name's Kagome. I got kicked out of my last school for fighting, I'm seventeen, oh, and if you mess with me all kick your ass." She said with all seriousness. The guys were all staring at her boobs and hadn't heard a word that she had just said. While the girls were all glaring at her for making the guy's stare it was a never-ending cycle that started every time she went to a new school. But she figured soon enough they'd all be too scared to glare at her.

"Okay, why don't you go and sit back there bye Kara. Kara would you raise your hand please?" a girl in the back raised her hand (duh). Kagome walked over there and sat down. "Now that that's settled please take out your books and turn to page 77." (AN: I'm gonna skip class it's boring.)

rrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg.

The students started to file out of the classroom. As Kagome go to the front Miroku stopped her. "Kagome a word please? I would just like to warn you about some of the teachers at our school. Some of the are very powerful demons that you need to watch out for. There is Inuyasha, Naraku, and Sesshoumaru. Each more dangerous then the last. Inuyasha is a hot headed half demon, half brother to Sesshoumaru. But don't mention the other brother in front of either one because they absolutely despise each other. Naraku is also a half demon but extremely powerful it takes a little bit more than it takes Inuyasha to mad but not much and he will only give one second thought about killing you and that would be he wouldn't want to get blood on his floor or clothes. Sesshoumaru is the most dangerous normally he is cold and level headed but given the right incentive he is probably the most dangerous youki on the earth. So don't back talk him and try to be somewhat respectful. The world has few enough mikos as it is and it would be bad to lose someone as powerful as you are. Bye the way the only reason I know is because I'm a monk so therefore I can sense your aura." he finished.

"Thanks, but I think I can look after my own self." She said and turned to walk out the door but stopped and turned back around. "This Sesshoumaru guy wouldn't happen to be Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands now would he?" she asked curiously.

"Yes, he is." Miroku replied shocked. "How did you know that? Very few humans do whether they're mikos or not." He asked.

"I had an acquaintance that needed me to do something for him and in return I got a history lesson in the package." (AN: her acquaintance was a demon that wanted another demon killed because he was bothering him.) she replied walking out the door toward her locker to get her books. Looking on her schedule she realized that she had Sesshoumaru in her next class. `yes. I get to mess with his head all of these other people have been weak I need a challenge if I'm gonna get any better.' She thought to herself.

She walked into the class room just as the bell had rung. She just stood at the front of the room again looking around. She saw the man whom she assumed was the teacher because he was sitting at the teachers desk.

"Are you Kagome?" came a deep masculin voice. Musical in it's own right.

"Yes, I am." She replied. Snapping out of her thought of how beautiful the voice was and it was just right for his body also. He (Sesshoumaru) had long silver hair that reached his butt and looked like it was made of silk. A lean muscular body that had no overworked muscels but looked just natural. And last was his eyes. Exquisit golden eyes that were harder than stone at the moment.

"Then you are late for you are out of your seat and the bell has rung." He said in his cold manner.

"What!?! How could I be late I don't even have a seat." Man the nerve of this guy not even giving her a seat and then saying it was her fault.

"Well then you should have gotten here before the bell rang and asked me for a seat." He said again in the same manner as before.

`why that little... or rather big, jackass I'm gonna.......'

"Well, are you going to say something?" He asked with a bored look while she was standing there in shock and fury.

Kagome just glared at him though, her look clearly telling him to go to hell. `Where he would probably be welcomed' She thought. "Oh, you're gonna get it just you wait' With a wicked smile that quickly turned innocent she said "No sir, Mr. Youki. I was just thinking about how I was so sad to miss the beginning of your lecture after all, history is so fascinating and from what other people say you sound like an awesome teacher." She said her voice dripping with sickening sweetness.

"Hn," Was all he said with a raised eyebrow. Inside he was thinking, `What's she up to? I looked through her file in the office and it seemed like she was a hard ass one. Their all the more fun to break and if I'm correct then she's the SM, Shikon Miko (AN; sorry about the crappy name peoples) and if she is then it's gonna be fun to see what she can do.' Getting a gleam in his eye that was quickly extinguished he said "Well Ms. Higurashi I'm glad that you have such an interest in history. And for that reason I will let you sit right up front here." At that point he motioned towards an empty seat in the front row. Kagome walked over, sat down, and got out her notebook like a good student `What's she going to do now' He thought while finding the place where he left off at.

`Now this is where the fun begins. Let's start with some bugs all over him' Kagome thought with another evil smirk. (AN: as I said in earlier chapters Kagome could control peoples minds to some extent and trick them into thinking that they are feeling things. Such as being on fire, having bugs crawl all over you, being in water and not being able to breath, flying. Basically anything.) She concentrated her eyes flashing silver briefly before returning to her natural color.

Sesshoumaru (Mr. Youki) felt a brief flash of magic before it disappeared his eyes narrowed in frustration `Where did that come from?' He wondered. Immediately after that though he had the strangest sensation of insects crawling over him, he looked down at his arm but could see nothing he ignored the feeling for a moment to think. He was hardly grossed out at the thought of insects crawling on him, after all, he had felt many more terrible things in his life. After a moment he quickly linked the flash of magic to the sensations that he was now feeling. With that connected he thought of who it could have come from. Since there was no one new except for Kagome and no one in his normal class would have the guts to do this (he was after all a very harsh teacher) and it was also the first time that this had happened he linked it to Kagome. He ended his lecture rather quickly as soon as he found a suitable stopping place and assigned a page in their books to keep them bust for the rest of the hour. After that was done he sat down and looked at Kagome. She was starring at him waiting to see what he would do about the sensations she was sending him. As soon as their eyes locked the battle of wills had begun.

Sesshoumaru erected a decently strong barrier to keep Kagome out of his mind though if she was the SM then she would quickly break through it. He was correct.

`This is gonna be fun' thought Kagome as she applied more force to the magic that she was using. They key at this till class was over, Kagome using more force and Sesshoumaru putting up a stronger barrier. The bell rung and Kagome didn't hear it. She had continued starring at Sesshoumaru until somebody walked past her and hit her accidentally with their bag. She quickly slapped her gaze away from Sesshoumaru to glare at the kid. He gulped nervously and walked out of the classroom as fast as he could without actually running. Kagome picked up her stuff and headed to the door. On her way out she called over her shoulder "See ya later, Fluffy." She walked out of the classroom and down the hall, smiling while Sesshoumaru fumed.

The rest of the day went on without incident. She had a good laugh when Inuyasha started jumping up on his desk, screaming about spiders. It seem she had found his phobia. The whole class found this quite funny to see their teacher jumping on his desk, and screaming about how the spiders had come to eat him, so they got a good laugh out of it. Naraku on the other hand, looked just plain evil. He had a wicked gleam in his red eyes when she walked in, and his gaze almost never left her the entire class period. Normally she didn't mind if people starred, she would just glare at them and then they would stop. But after glaring for 15 minutes straight, she started to feel the eye strain. She then tried to find his phobia but he just basically opened up his arms in his mind and gave her a free shot, which was most unusual. Most people tried to fight her to keep her out of their mind but it seemed like he didn't care. When she had looked through his mind she, strangely, found nothing that he was afraid of. Nothing that would make him freak out if he saw it. She found this very curious. Most people had at least one thing, no matter how subtle they were afraid of it, they WERE afraid of it. This was not so in Naraku. She would definitely have to look into this.

It was lunch time now and Kagome was looking for a place to sit. She saw a table under a large tree on the side of the courtyard. She went over there, sat down, and started getting out her lunch. Suddenly, an apple came flying out of nowhere. She caught it with her left hand without looking up from her lunch. She glanced at the apple then looked to the right from where it had come from. She saw a group of girls standing there. They were your normal group of preppie, rich, stuck up snobs that always accompanied schools like this. They where a group of 9, 6 youkai and 3 human. They started marching over towards Kagome with their noses stuck up in the air like they thought they where better than everybody else, which they probably thought they were. So over they marched all hoity toitty. One girl, a red headed youkai, obviously the leader, stepped in front of Kagome and looked down her nose at her.

"Just who do you think you are?" she asked in a voice that clearly said `tell me or else I'll make your life a pain'. Kagome looked up at her, took a big bite out of the apple that they had thrown at her, looked back down at her lunch, took another bite and didn't say anything. This enraged the girl. She snatched the apple out of Kagome's hand and threw it over her shoulder without looking to see where it went, it ended up hitting some guy in the head. (LOL!)

"You little SHIT do you know who I am? I am the richest and most beautiful girl here! You can't just ignore me!!" she screamed at Kagome, which caused more than a few turned heads but this was normal enough here. The leader of the group, Kaltina, would always single someone out at the beginning of the year and then torment that person for the rest of the year.

Kagome looked up at her and finally spoke with a voice that could have froze fire and could make the strongest, most feared demon turn and run, which it had on more than one occasion.

"One, you are hardly the most beautiful, your arrogance makes you repulsive. Two, if I can't ignore you then what did I just do? Hmm?"

"You bitch! I can't believe that you said that!" With a pissed off yell Kaltina jumped over the table and tried to tackle Kagome but Kagome was expecting this. So she just flipped her over her shoulders and into the tree behind her. Kaltina, being a demon, was able to use the tree for leverage and leapt back at Kagome. Kagome ducked to the right just in time to miss being impaled by claws that were 3 inches long and growing. She looked back and saw that Kaltina's eye's were bleeding red with her fury. Kagome got up from her seat and turned to face her with an emotionless mask on. She crouched into a fighting stance getting ready for the next attack, but before it could go any further Miroku walked out and placed an ofuda(AN: I have no idea how to spell that but it's one of those scroll thingys) on Kaltina making her immobile. He got out another one in case he had to put one on Kagome as well though he highly doubted that it would hold her, considering how strong she was but there was no need as Kagome got out of her crouch and stood up, brushing off her pants.

"Fighting in this school is prohibited, Kagome, but seeing as how it is your first day and you were obviously defending yourself you will not get in trouble. You will get off with just a warning. You, on the other hand Kaltina, know that it is not allowed and you have numerous other altercations that are on record."

Miroku then walked over and took the scroll off of Kaltina making her free again. During this time she had cooled off enough to be able to control her transformation. "Follow me now ms. Kaltina, we are headed to the principal's office." He then walked off leading a pissed off looking demon that dearly wanted to rip the head off of a fellow student.

Kaltina's posse, seeing her being lead away, dispersed to their own little table. They had no inclination to fight Kagome, they had just followed their leader. They knew the consequences of not obeying Kaltina. One girl had decided that she had had enough and told Kaltina that straight out. The girl ended up being placed in a mental institution and was still there to this day.

Kagome went back to eating her lunch. Ten minutes later the bell rang signaling the end of the 25 minute lunch break. Kagome looked at her schedule, her next class was weapons with Sango Taijiya. `Hmm...should be interesting. I wonder how many different weapons they have.'

Kagome walked down the hall looking for the earlier said class. She found it and walked in just as the tardy bell rang. It looked like they were in some sort of gym or dojo that was quite large.

Along two walls there were many different weapons to choose from such as glaives, swords, both short and long, bow and arrows, scythes, sais (I think that's what their called) and many others. Kagome looked around in something akin to impressed. This was the first time that she had seen a school with such extensive weaponry.

"Okay class, settle down." Someone yelled to the talking group. They immediately stopped talking and looked over. Kagome was then able to see the teacher. Sh had long black hair that was up in a high ponytail and had brown eyes with pink eyeshadow. She was wearing a loose fighting outfit that allowed easy movement.

"Today, we're going to pair up and work on our hand-to-hand combat. Everybody get with your assigned partner and begin. Fight fair and no serious injuries, Rei!" Here she looked pointedly at a guy that had bright red hair and red eyes. "Kagome, Aki, come with me please." She started to walk to a deserted corner of the gym. "Kagome, Aki is one of the best fighters in the student body and so I would like him to place you. Just give him your all and then he'll decide what group you need to be in." With that she walked away to go and correct a stance of one of the other students.

"Hello, my names Aki, as you already know. It's nice to meet you." The boy said while settling into a crouching stance. She had to admit, he was kind of cute. He had short spiky black hair with green streaks in it and icy blue eyes. He was about 6 ft. tall and had a slim, not skinny for there were some muscles there, build.

`It looks like he'll be a good warm-up' she thought as she tensed her muscles getting ready to block the punch he was bound to send. But, low-and-behold, he didn't do what she had been expecting him to do. Instead, he was waiting for her to make the first move. `Strange.' she thought before she complied with his wishes and sent a kick to his stomach. Just before it hit though he twisted to the right and grabbed her foot getting ready to twist her around. Normally when someone twists one of your feet you fall but Kagome caught herself and used the foot that he had as leverage to send a kick to his face. He bent backwards but in the process dropped her foot, she quickly swept it around to trip him but he back hand sprung out of the way. Kagome stopped a second to see what Aki would do next. She didn't have to wait long. He sent a roundhouse kick to her face but she blocked and quickly threw a punch to the side of his head. It just barley grazed his head. And she had threw that one as a knock-out punch! Well surprise surprise, it seems he does have some skill after all. After about 4 more minutes of fighting Aki called time out. It seems neither had lost but neither were showing their full power either. "Ms. Taijia, Kagome is in the same group as me." He told the teacher when she came over.

"Well, that's very impressive Kagome. Not many can keep up with Aki here." At this point she grinned "I trained him myself." she said in a `whisper' to Kagome fully knowing Aki could hear. "I'm the only reason he's so good."

"Hey! That's not true!" he said pretending to be angry

"Sure, sure it's not. Class is dismissed!" she yelled over the fighting students. I expect to see some improvement tomorrow. See you next class." She said over the din of students grabbing their stuff and leaving. Kagome walked out and headed to her next class.

"Hey, wait up!" Somebody that sounded remarkable like Aki shouted. She just kept on walking assuming it wasn't her he was yelling to. Suddenly he jogged up.

"Hey didn't you hear me calling?" he asked.

"Yeah, I heard but I assumed you weren't talking to me." She said with cold indifference.

"Well, I was wondering what class you have next." he said slowing to a walk beside her while watching the students gape in awe of not being punched and dismissed by being so close and talking to the new girl, Kagome. They walked down the hall through the parted students.

"I have science with Kouga." She said after glancing at her list.

"Cool. I have the same class. I'll walk you." (They've gotten their books in this time)

"Fine" she said with boredom like she didn't really give a crap. Which she didn't. "although afterwards you'll most likely be the most rumored about guy in school."

"Aw, I don't mind them. They'll talk about anyone if they get the chance."

They walked to class and found seats. Aki ended up sitting beside Kagome causing even more rumors to start. The class was still talking when Kouga walked in.
