Well here is the story I've been working on for awhile now. I hope you all enjoy Renegade, let me know what you think in a review!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any portions of the Inuyasha franchise rights. Summary was made for me by Purduepup, because I suck at them DX

Summary: At school, no one befriends the "dangerous" outsider. But when a class project brings Inuyasha and popular Kagome together, she sees from a new light—and he's happy for once in years. Will they rebel against all they've known if it means being together?

~Chapter 1~

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A soft groan was heard underneath the bundled comforters, and a slender arm reached out from under the heavy blankets, blindly reaching for the snooze button.

Success.

After silencing the nuisance that disturbed her peaceful slumber, the young brunette started to fall back to sleep, her arm falling limply down against the side of her bed, no longer shielded by the comforter. Before she could comfortably fall back into her dreams, she heard an angered voice.

"Kagome, wake up! You're going to be late for school!"

It was her mother. Kagome only grumbled back unintelligibly—it was something along the lines of "Today is Saturday…" Her mother rolled her eyes and pulled the warm covers off of Kagome's body, making the teen immediately pull into a ball from the sudden chill from her room.

She cracked an eye open at her mom then looked at the calendar she kept on the wall next to her bed, and her eyes widened with the sudden realization that it was Friday, not Saturday as she had originally believed. Nearly leaping out of her bed, she quickly grabbed some clothes from her closet and hurried into the bathroom.

Her mother shook her head and fixed the covers back onto her daughter's bed. "Kagome, if you keep this up, you're going to fall behind in school! And you'll be kicked out of your clubs and off the student council!" she shouted towards the bathroom.

Kagome only rolled her eyes as she quickly brushed her teeth. "I know!" she shouted back, trying to hurry through her usually even-paced routine. She quickly shed her pajamas and threw on her underwear, jeans, and a white, low-cut blouse, though her green cami underneath it shielded most of her cleavage but left a fairly decent amount exposed.

She quickly applied her lip gloss, eyeliner, mascara, and some light green eye-shadow. The brunette looked at herself in the mirror, admiring how well her makeup actually looked since it was rushed. But her hair was a different story. She let out a frustrated sigh, brushing through her soft and silky waves, trying to straighten it out as much as she could since she didn't care for her hair in its natural state: wavy. There was no way she had time to use an actual flat iron; with that mental reminder, she groaned in disdain again. Finally, she gave up, semi-satisfied with her tresses and the way they fell.

She headed out of the bathroom and spotted her alarm clock: 7:45AM. Fuck. She had school in fifteen minutes. She mentally cursed again. She wouldn't have time for breakfast, and she still had to get her homework together! She hurried through, shoving her binder and the papers from the previous night into her messenger bag, and practically ran out of her room. Ten minutes to get to school.

She hurried down her flight of stairs, skipping every other step, waving once to her mother, getting her converse shoes on quickly and leaving. She hurried to the bus stop, knowing she'd have to wait another ten minutes by now for the next one to come by and take her to school. The brunette looked around and heard something she dreaded. Thunder.

'Please don't rain…please don't rain…PLEASE DON'T FUCKING RAIN!' she mentally pleaded, closing her eyes and crossing her fingers. Though she was under the cover of the bus stop, that didn't change the fact she didn't bring an umbrella. Dammit… It began raining.

Could this day get any worse?

Answer: Yes, it could.

As she reached into her pocket, she nearly let out a roar. No. Cell. Phone. She now had no idea how late she was going to be. The rain started pouring down harder, and the clouds grew darker. Kagome covered her face with her hands and took a deep breath.

"Okay, Kagome, the morning so far is shitty…that means the rest of the day will be good, right? Right?" she said out loud to herself, trying to keep her spirits up that it wasn't going to turn out being one of THOSE days. She hated THOSE days. As she uncovered her face, she looked to her right and noticed an older woman standing next to her, looking at her as if she was a freak for talking to herself.

Clearing her throat, Kagome adjusted the strap on her messenger bag and gave a polite smile to the woman. "Uhm, excuse me, ma'am—do you know the time?"

The woman nodded once and looked at her wrist. "It's 8:08," the woman courteously responded. Kagome had an inner panic attack. Dammit all. She finally sighed and thanked the woman, giving up any hope of even getting to school before noon at this rate.

As soon as she gave up hope, the bus pulled up to the stop. It was late, but at least it had shown up. She hurried in and showed her bus pass to the driver.

—xxxxxx—

As she arrived to school, she pulled her binder out and shielded her hair from the rain, running into the building and heading to her first period class: History. As she walked in, all eyes were on her. "Sorry I'm late, Mr. Okinawa," she said softly, trying to keep her inner irritation down—he had no clue how her morning had went.

"It's alright, Miss Higurashi; please take your seat. You're late for the test. But lucky for you, we just started about ten minutes ago. Just don't let yourself be this late again," he said, gesturing to her empty desk in the front. 'Lucky?' Did her teacher really just use that word around her?

'Fuck. My. Life,' she inwardly thought. She had completely forgot she had a History test today. And that jogged her memory into remembering she had a debate to do for her English class. She sighed and sat at her desk, setting her things down and looking at the test her teacher swiftly placed in front of her.

Kagome didn't want to look up at the clock. She didn't want to. She didn't want to. She really didn't want to. She pulled a pen out of her messenger bag and glanced up at the clock. 8:25. The brunette wanted to slam her head down on her desk—she had so little time to catch up and finish.

After speeding through the multiple choice and true or false questions, she focused on the short answer. She glanced up at the clock. She was actually making good time; she had fifteen minutes left to answer the three questions. 'Okay, five minutes per question… I can do this," she silently cheered.

The teen managed to make it through two of the questions, whose answers turned out being longer than she had thought. The bell rang, signaling the end of class, and she sighed, figuring it was good enough. As she was leaving, she handed the paper to her teacher and left.

"Kagome! Hey, Kagome, wait up!" shouted a familiar voice behind her. The hazel-eyed teen turned around towards the person who was calling her name: one of her best friends, Eri. "Hey, Eri, what is it?" Kagome asked curiously.

"The girls and I were wondering if you want to sleep over tonight since we have a three-day weekend and everything—sleep over until Sunday?" the hyper raven-haired girl spoke, obviously wanting Kagome to spend time with her and their other friends.

"Yeah, sure; I don't think my mom would have a problem with that," Kagome said after thinking it over. "It sounds like a lot of fun, too."

"Well, it better be," Eri said, moving some of her hair behind her ear. She looked as if she was readying to say something else but stopped, her eyes growing a little bigger and glancing to the left, over Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome furrowed her eyebrows and glanced over her shoulder in the direction her friend was looking. Coming down the hall towards them was the guy otherwise known as the "school badass," Inuyasha. His jeans were baggy, but weren't ridiculously sagged. His bright red shirt was a dead giveaway of whom it was—it might as well have been his signature feature, as well as the red bandana covering part of his shoulder-length onyx colored hair. The teen also had two earrings, one in each ear.

As he passed by them, he gave a side glance to Kagome and Eri, obviously catching their stares, and continued walking without giving them another glance back.

"Jeez, that Inuyasha guy is pretty intimidating. I don't really know why he's even here; he doesn't care about school," Eri said with a roll of her eyes.

Kagome only shrugged. "He's in my English class," she said quietly.

"But you're in advanced placement, aren't you?" the raven-haired girl inquired.

Kagome nodded in response. "Yeah, but I guess he obviously is too. Anyway…we better get going. The hallways are starting to clear out, and I don't want to be late for Calculus." Kagome watched as her friend's eyes widened, realizing her next class was halfway across the school and she would be late.

"Catch ya later, Kagome!" she said as she ran off. Kagome smiled and shook her head, turning and heading to her class.

Making it through her day with no major issues, Kagome could breathe in relief at last. She had practiced her debate at lunch with her friends Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri. It was now her last period of the school day: English.

Kagome walked in and sat down, looking across at the other side of the room at the young man who had passed by her earlier: Inuyasha. He seemed to be writing something down on a piece of paper, but wasn't paying much attention to the groups that were presenting their debate issues.

The young brunette shrugged and looked back at the front of the class before her teacher noticed her lack of attention, and took down the required notes on the groups that everyone had to do to make sure they were paying close attention.

Kagome looked up when the teacher called off her group number. She stood up and walked to the front of the class with the other members of her debate. One of the guys pulled up the PowerPoint presentation they had made to go along with their argument as required.

As her group began discussing their topic of The Use of Torture to Extract Information (catchy, right?), Kagome began to space out as she talked, her eyes roaming over the students in front of her. Some looked lost, some looked bored, and only a few looked genuinely interested. One of the ones that looked interested, though, caught her off-guard.

Inuyasha.

Why was she noticing him so much more today? She had never paid him much mind before. She snapped back to reality and finished her portion, letting her partners continue on and finish up.

They received the short, polite applause from their fellow students and took their seats again. Kagome stretched in her seat, wishing the day was over already and hoping it had stopped raining by now. She returned to her notes, mindlessly jotting them down as if she was nothing but a programmed robot.

'Crap…' she mentally swore, remembering she had a student council meeting after school to discuss ways to save money for a senior field trip. The trip was for the winter; it was only a few weeks away, and they still hadn't set enough money aside. She rolled her eyes and silently criticized her school's methods of saving and spending money.

After school, Kagome met up with Yuka and told her that she had a meeting to go to, but she'd go home directly after school to get ready for the sleepover. She sped off, not giving Yuka time to react.

Well that does it for the first chapter, let me know what you all think and whether or not you want me to continue the story and all that good stuff.
