A/N: Hey! I got bored, and since my friends and I are starting High School, YAY FOR US I decided to make an Inuyasha modern High School story. And there will be an original main character in here, Rei Akuma. I originally made her to be a snow leopard demon in a feudal era story that I was/am trying to come up with.

Rei Akuma

Appearance: Black hair to her collar bone tied back with a white ribbon like Kikyou's but shorter in length into a high ponytail with her long bangs in 3 layers loose. Has golden eyes.

Brief Summary: She is an anime artist in this story. Rei is often caught drawing comics of her friends in class, which may result in detention. Her parents died when she was younger and was put in custody of her aunt, Suji Yamaneko. Her parents went to collage and high school with Inuyasha's parents, resulting in the two teens' friendship since diapers.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I own the teachers, the plot, and Rei, that's it.

Quote of the Chapter:

"Life is like Solitare, with a bit of hard work and a right click, everything's done... most of the time."

From Riches to High School

Episode 1: Kagome goes to Shikon High; Mrs. Higurashi's Decision

"Lady Kagome, can ye at least try to look like ye are interested in this lesson?"

Kagome sighed; Kaede's lessons weren't boring, per se. They just...uninterested her; the lessons Kaede taught didn't catch Kagome's eye.

The ebony-haired teen tapped her pencil on the desk and looked around the small room. She rested her head on her hand and turned her attention, or what was left of it, back towards Kaede only to find that the old woman had stopped teaching and looked straight at her.

"What troubles ye, child?"

Kagome lifted her head, "Nothing..."

"There must be something if you sigh and look around the room every five minutes."

Kagome blinked at the truth, then shrugged her shoulders, "Well, I guess it's the fact that there is no one else in this room that you're teaching to. I stay in the same room all day, and never leave this desk." Kaede nodded and motioned her to continue, "There's no frightful rush of getting to my class on time or getting detention. No extremely juicy gossip to squeeze out of people who swore to their friend that they wouldn't tell." She paused, thinking, "And then the embarrassing moments! People say all the time that school would be so boring without the moments or sudden outbursts!"

Kagome's private teacher raised her eyebrow, "What is thy point behind all this?"

The teen's hazel eyes lit up with an answer, "I want to go to a public school!"

"Are you sure of this, Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi sipped her green tea, "This decision will change your life."

Kagome turned to her mother from her dinner, "Yes! Which is exactly why I want to go; I need a change from sitting in Kaede's classroom looking at random things!"

Her mother sighed, almost defeated. For being the head of a big corporation, owning a very large mansion just outside Tokyo, and being rich, giving into things that she didn't agree with were hard. Letting her daughter enroll at a public school was one of those things that she didn't agree with completely.

If it makes her happy... "Fine, you can go..."

Kagome squealed, "Really? You mean it?" Her mother nodded and sipped her tea again. Mrs. Higurashi's daughter jumped up from her chair at the table and hugged her mother.

Mrs. Higurashi looked over her daughter's shoulder, "You may as well go, too, Souta. I'm sure you have pretty much the same opinions as your sister..."

Souta's eyes lit up like his sister's, "Seriously! You're not pulling my leg?"

Kagome released her mother, "Souta, if she was joking, she would have told us by now!" She turned to the short haired woman, "So... when do we start?"

"As soon as I fill out the paperwork."

Souta made circular motions with his hands, "Which will be...?"

"Next week."

Kagome stopped in mid-cheer, "What about Kaede?"

Souta nodded, "Yea, what's gonna happen to her?"

Mrs. Higurashi waved her hands to reassure her children, "Don't worry; she'll stay here in the mansion."

Kagome smiled. Kaede had been with them since they first moved to the mansion. She looked at her brother, who was also smiling at their mother's decision.

Now, Kagome thought, how long will it take until I snap?

"Mr. Taisho, you know your way to the office!" Mr. Shihyou angrily pointed out the door, in his hand a pass.

A silvery-haired teen smirked as he took the pass out of his teacher's hands, "Thank you, Yamato."

A stress mark appeared, pulsing on the teacher's head, "That's Mr. Shihyou to you, Inuyasha!" Again, he pointed with his finger towards the door, "Now, OUT!"

Inuyasha looked at the clock to find only a few minutes until lunch; he then turned around to his classmates. He looked at a teen with his hair pulled back into a tiny ponytail sitting in the corner of the room, except for the empty desk behind him, and next to him, a girl with her collar bone length black hair pulled back by a white ribbon into a high ponytail, twirling her long bangs with her fingers, obviously bored. Smirking, Inuyasha motioned his hand in a single wave with three fingers, "Rei, Miroku, see ya in lunch!"

Rei Akuma rolled her eyes, smirking also, and lazily saluted him back with her thumb, pointer, and middle fingers. Miroku Houshi shook his head and laughed as his best friend left the room. Not even 2 weeks into our senior year and he's already nailed himself a routine!

"What are you drawing now, Rei?" the purple-eyed boy peered across the isle, "Another comic?"

The anime artist sneered, placed her hand in front of his face and pushed him back to his seat and isle, "If you must know, Miroku; yes, it is another comic, and no, you may not see."

"C'mon, just one little peek-"

"Mr. Houshi, would you like to join Inuyasha for getting a pass for detention also?" Mr. Shihyou walked down the isle to Miroku, then turned to Rei, "And what on Earth is so interesting that you have in your possession Miss Akuma that Mr. Houshi wants to see?"

Rei's face paled as her Algebra teacher peered over her shoulder and grabbed her trusty blue sketch notebook, the one where she kept all of her artwork and comics in. Oh, no, not again!

"Tell me, Miss Akuma, when did you find time to draw this?"

The amber-eyed teen gulped, "Uh, while you and Inuyasha were arguing, Mr. Shihyou..."

"Very interesting..." the artist's teacher reviewed over the panels, reading the story of what had just happened. Rei had quickly sketched out pictures of him and Inuyasha arguing, with her and Miroku whispering things in the background.

The girl jumped as her teacher slammed her notebook back onto her desk, "If I catch you drawing again while you have work to do, you will have detention."

"Y-yes, sir."

Sango Taijiya slammed her hands on the lunch table, causing the six lunch trays to rattle, "You have detention again?"

"How do you do it, Inuyasha?" Ayame Kijo sighed into her hands, then shot her head up again, "Not that I wanna know or anything..."

"Didja hear about the new girl coming in next week?"

Ayame's red pigtails swung over her shoulder as she turned her head to the black haired boy that spoke, "What are you talking about Kouga?"

Kouga Ookami put his head on his fist and looked at his friends, "I was in the office just before lunch, getting copies of the schedules for the football games this season. I heard the principal talking to some lady about getting her daughter enrolled."

Rei blinked at the football captain, "Really?"

The blue-eyed jock nodded, "Yeah, she's starting here next week."

Sango crossed her arms, "Let's hope she doesn't get mixed up with Naraku's gang." Suddenly she felt something not right near her rear... Urk! "HENTAI!"

SLAP!

Miroku took his hand back from the brown-haired girl's posterior, and rubbed his cheek, which now donned a red handprint. The pervert nodded at what the tomboy said, "Sango's right. If she gets in Naraku's gang, we'll have even more of a hassle than we do now."

The pigtailed girl suddenly spoke up, "THAT'S RIGHT! NOW I REMEMBER!"

"Please say it's the answers to Mrs. Kagaku's quiz!" the Artist put her hands together and begged the Smart Cookie.

The green-eyed lass raised an eyebrow at Rei, "What quiz? There's no quiz! I should know! I just had Mrs. Kagaku!"

Inuyasha drummed his fingers, "I heard there was a quiz in Physics. To see how much you know and what you remember."

Ayame shook her head, "Nope. Mrs. Kagaku told me that she spread around that rumor so that the students would be prepared for class."

Inuyasha scoffed, "Teacher's pe-OW!"

The Computer-Whiz/Smart Cookie grinned in satisfaction as she kicked the Bad Boy's shin, "Serves you right."

Shaking his head, the jock grinned, "Stupid dog."

Inuyasha pulled on the captain's long ponytail and snapped his thick headband, "What was that, wimpy wolf?"

Kouga's blue eyes flashed, "You heard me, stupid dog." He rubbed the back of his head.

With his anger rising, the amber-eyed teen pulled back his fist, ready to punch, "Why you-"

The tomboy sighed at the infuriated Inuyasha, "You already have detention, Inuyasha. Do you really want to spend the more of your time in Mr. Shihyou's classroom?"

"Feh," Inuyasha stuck his nose in the air and glared back at the captain, "I'll get you next time, wimpy wolf."

"Go chase a car." Kouga put his head back on his hand and shoved a buttered roll in his mouth. But before Inuyasha got the chance to kick his ass, Rei kicked him in the shin, in the same spot that Ayame did. Kicking him was almost the only way for the girls to control him from going on a rampage.

Ayame shook her head, "Great, now you guys made me forget what I was gonna- oh yeah! The principal told me not to tell you this..."

Rei stopped drawing her comic and waved her hand, "So? Get on with it!"

"But when I was walking back from the library, he was talking with Mrs. Higurashi..."

With her hazel-eyes widening, the tomboy whispered her shock, "Higurashi, as in Higurashi Inc., one of the richest companies and people in Tokyo?"

The Comp. Whiz nodded, "Yeah, he was trying to make a good impression on her. He had me stop and talk to her."

Inuyasha had a 'what's your point' look on and raised his eyebrow. Ayame continued, "Her daughter is going to school here..."

Kouga pointed his finger at her, "I bet that's who I heard Mr. Omodatta talking to. I bet it was Mrs. Higurashi!"

Rubbing his chin, Miroku looked back at the table in thought, "So then its Mrs. Higurashi's daughter that's coming to school here!"

Ayame nodded, "Yeah, but you guys can't go spreading this around! Mr. Omodatta will kick my ass!"

Looking at the green-eyed girl, the jock laughed, "Ayame, swearing isn't your style. Why the sudden change?"

"Shaddup, Kouga."

"Kagome, are you ready? I told Mr. Omodatta that you would be there at the start of their second class!"

"Hang on, I'll be right down!" Where is it! That damn shoe has GOT to be around here somewhere! Kagome looked under her Queen-sized bed and grabbed the missing shoe. She quickly hurried down the flight of stairs of her mansion to the door, pulling the green skirt of her uniform down as she went. Lemme tell ya, I am NOT loving this skirt!

Her mother waited by the door, "Kagome, dear, hurry! You'll be late!"

"Coming!" Kagome nodded her thanks to the maid as she got into the back of the limo. Looking around Kagome noticed her brother was missing, "Where's Souta?"
"His school's a bit different then yours. If he were to come with us now, he would have missed at least 3 classes by now. Therefore I had him drove out there earlier. You two have missed 2 weeks of school, so you shouldn't have missed too much."

Understanding, Kagome nodded, "I see..."

A while later, the driver turned around, "We're here, Miss Kagome."

"Ah, thank you." Kagome stepped out of the limo with her backpack.

Her mother rolled down the window, "Would you like us to pick you up after school?"

"Just have Kaede pick me up. It’ll draw less attention."

"Alright then, dear. See you when you at home!" With that, her mother drove off, leaving Kagome in this 'strange new world'

Pulling the skirt down as she went, Kagome timidly walked through the halls, lost. To her relief at the center of the halls, was a lobby with lockers, and the office. She soon saw our beloved pervert (AN: C'mon... you know we all love him! XD) in his black uniform walk into the office with a pass in his hand. Summing up her courage, she opened up the door to the office.

"Ah, Miss Sanji, you look extremely lovely today, as you do every day, might I add." Miroku raised his eyebrows at the young secretary.

"Don't push it, Miroku. Detention again? You know, you and Inuyasha are horrible at keeping yourselves out of trouble."

"Well, this is the first detention this week, Miss Sanji." The violet eyed senior handed her the pass.

The blonde rolled her eyes, "Yes, but you got 4 last week. But what did you do this time?"

Miroku rested his elbow on the desk, and his head on his fist, "Late for class, again."

"Jeeze, Mr. Shihyou wasn't fooling around when he said that if anyone was late more than three times, they'd get detention."

Kagome eyes lit up as she heard the name of the teacher that taught her second period. Trying to get their attention, the ebony-haired girl coughed.

The secretary moved so she could see behind Miroku, "Oh, I'm sorry dear, I didn't see you there. May I help you?"

"Err... yes... I'm looking for Mr. Shihyou's classroom...I'm supposed to go to his class..." Kagome tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.

Miss Sanji smiled and motioned towards Miroku, "Miroku here can show you the way. May I ask your name?"

"Higurashi. Kagome Higurashi."

Miroku's eyes widened, So this is the new girl...

Miss Sanji bowed respectively at the rich girl, "Mr. Omodatta was expecting you. My name is Miss Sanji."

Miroku popped in, "And isn't she lovely?"

Twitch "You're pushing it, Mr. Houshi..."

Kagome sweat dropped at Miss Sanji's stress mark. Miroku took the new girl's hand, "My name is Miroku Houshi."

ACH! What does he think he's doing! "HENTAI!"

SLAP!

The pervert rubbed his cheek and Kagome turned to the blonde secretary, who was now laughing, "Don't mind him, he's harmless. Now, Miroku, show this girl where the classroom is before I get you in trouble."

"Of course, Miss Sanji. Right this way, Kagome." Miroku motioned her outside the office.

"What's Mr. Shihyou like, Houshi?"

"Please, call me Miroku. He's somewhat strict... but he's pretty cool. He let Rei get away with drawing in class."

"Rei?"

"Rei Akuma. She's one of my friends. The artistic one of our group."

Kagome laughed, "So who's all in your 'group'?"

Miroku started counting on his fingers, "Let's see... There's me, Sango, Rei, Kouga, Ayame, oh... and Inuyasha."

Kagome cocked her head and blinked, "Inuyasha?"

Miroku stopped at the door, "Yeah, you might wanna watch out for him. He has an attitude."

"Ok.."

"Wait out here and I'll tell Mr. Shihyou that you're here." The pervert left Kagome in the hallway by the door.

"So he's finally back..." Mr. Shihyou drummed his fingers on his desk, "Why were you late?"

Miroku bowed, "Sorry, Mr. Shihyou, but you see... Miss Sanji had me show Miss Higurashi to the classroom."

Instantly, whispers broke out throughout the Algebra 3 class. The teacher immediately stood up, "Where is she?"

The onyx-haired boy walked to the door and motioned for Kagome to come in. Mr. Shihyou turned to the class, "Class, we have a new student." He turned to the timid Kagome, "Higurashi, right?"

Miroku pushed her to the front a little bit and then sat as his desk beside Rei. Kagome gulped and nodded, "Y-yeah... Kagome Higurashi."

Even more whispers broke out as the teacher handed Kagome the text book. Rei turned to Miroku, "This is the new girl Kouga was talking about?"

The boy nodded, "Yup. I met her in the office. She seemed a little scared."

Inuyasha was turned around in his desk, in front of Rei, "At least she's not with Naraku's gang. Good job, Mir."

Mr. Shihyou walked back towards the three with Kagome behind him, "Hmm... Since you already seem to know Mr. Houshi, we could sit you behind him."

The before-mentioned boy turned around and watched as Kagome sat behind him. The golden–eyed girl leaned across the isle, holding out a hand to the rich girl, "My name's Rei Akuma. Nice to meet you, Higurashi."

Kagome shook her hand, "Just call me Kagome. So you're the artist the Miroku was talking about."

The pony-tailed girl smiled and handed Kagome her trusty blue notebook, "Yup, would you like to see some of my artwork?"

"Sure, why not?" the new girl took Rei's notebook and flipped through it.

Inuyasha turned and looked at Kagome, "The name's Inuyasha Taisho."

Kagome's chocolate eyes shifted up to see the silver-haired bad boy. Rei looked at the girl, "Watch out for him he-"

The rich girl's eyes turned into a glare at Inuyasha, "has an attitude, Miroku told me. I can see it in his eyes."

Inuyasha, somewhat insulted, turned back around, "Bitch."

Rei copied Kagome's glare and kicked the boy, "OUCH!" The whole class turned to Inuyasha, the silence somewhat disrupted.

Rei's face started to pale. The amber-eyed teen grinned evilly, and turned to the paling girl, "HA! It's about time you got in trouble, bitch!"

Mr. Shihyou sighed and started writing out a pass, "Mr. Taisho... you know the drill."

The bad boy's grin suddenly turned into a look of shock, "But she KICKED me!"

The teacher shrugged as he held out the pass, "She had a good reason. You called Miss Higurashi a wench... with a few letter changes, since Miss Higurashi was out of kicking reach, Miss Akuma did the honors. Therefore, she's off the hook." Rei's face returned to its peach tone.

Inuyasha shrugged and took the pass, "Nothing unusual. See you in a few minutes, Yamato."

"Watch it, Mr. Taisho." Mr. Shihyou looked at Rei, "Next time, Miss Akuma, kick him outside of class. If you get caught, tell whoever catches you that I gave you permission." He turned to Kagome, "That goes for you too, Miss Higurashi."

"Ok, sounds great." Rei and Kagome looked at each other and snickered. When Inuyasha came back in, his glare did not turn from Kagome. He finally sat back in his desk, and randomly glared at her. Finally getting annoyed, Mr. Shihyou spoke up, "Mr. Taisho, I know you would very much like to get revenge on Miss Higurashi, but please, save the loving stares for later."

Kagome giggled with the rest of the class as Inuyasha blushed, This is gonna be an interesting year.
