"Don't mind him, he'll get over it soon enough. I'm Kyouya." Kyouya said holding out his hand to Kagome, and she shook it.

"I'm Mori."

"I'm Hikaru."

"I'm Kaoru."

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Kagome Higurashi." she said with a smile.

Kagome kept smiling as she decided to look around campus for no reason. "It's a nice place here." she commented.

Tamaki stopped sulking and appeared behind Kagome, "Yes! Yes it is my darling daughter!" he said enthusiastically.

" -T.T- Please stop that..." Kagome said with a sigh as she continued to look around the campus while Tamaki went to his corner of gloom. (XD I got that from Death By Squishy! She's the best! I hope you don't mind if I used that Hope-chan. If you do, tell me & I'll take it out n.n) Kagome suddenly spotted someone sitting alone under one of the trees near the school gates. "Hm... who's that?" she asked pointing to the guy under the tree.

"Hm?" Hikaru looked to where she was pointing. "The water fountain?"

Kagome sweatdropped, "Uh, no..." she walked behind Hikaru and pointed over his shoulder, "Him. Who's he?"

Hikaru blushed slightly before answering, "Uh, I think his name is Gaara."

Kagome walked back over to Hunny and asked, "Why is he all alone? Everyone else seems to have friends around them."

"There's this moronic rumor going around that Gaara's a psycho murderer." Someone's voice answered.

Kagome turned around to see a guy with a strange hat that looked like it had cat ears. "Psycho murderer?" she furrowed her eyebrows.

The guy nodded. "I don't belive that stupid rumor, but because I'm his brother it doesn't help his lonliness if I accept him. Same with our sister Temari, but she doesn't go here anyway. Oh, I'm Kankuro by the way."

Kagome smiled, "I'm Kagome. So... how did the rumor get started?"

"Tch, I don't know myself. I think it's just because of the way he looks, but no one takes the time to actually get to know him from fear of the rumor being true. There all a bunch of cowards." Kankuro answered.

"Hm... I'm going to go and say hi.. You guys go on ahead to class I'll meet you there." Kagome said as she walked over to Gaara after the Host club nodded. Once she was next to him, she crouched down and held out her hand with a smile, "Hi, I'm Kagome." she said shaking slightly because of the way she was sitting. (you know when you crouch down, if you sit like that too long you'll start shaking. Grr, I hate it Xo)

Gaara turned to look at Kagome, then had a somwhat sad expression as he saw her shaking and turned back away. "You don't have to force yourself to talk to me you know..." he said looking at the ground.

"Huh? What are you- Ah!" Kagome was interupted when she fell not so gracefully on her face. She lifted her head to finish her sentence before wiping off the dirt and grass. "What are you talking about? I just thought you looked lonely over here all by yourself so I wanted to come over and say hi." she said as she sat cross-legged next to Gaara and looked at him with a confused expression.

Gaara looked straight into Kagome's eyes with a slightly untrusting look, as if he was searching her soul and making sure she was telling the truth. Once he believed she was telling the truth, his eyes widened a little, making Kagome smile, at the thought of someone wanting to talk to him willingly. His face then saddened again, "I guess you haven't heard yet..."

"Heard what?" Kagome moved to sit next to Gaara while leaning against the tree. "About that stupid rumor of you being a psycho killer?" she said in distaste.

Gaara looked away.

"Humph! I don't see why somone would believe that if they haven't taken the time to get to know you, and that's exactly what I'm going to do." Kagome said as she smiled and looked at Gaara's surprised face.

"Are you really... going to be my friend?" Gaara asked with hopeful eyes.

"Of course!" Kagome said as her smile widened. "Now, c'mon let's go to class." she held her hand out to help him up. Gaara looked at her hand before hesitantly taking it. Kagome pulled him up and dragged him to their class laughing at the almost scared face he made at being dragged toward the school entrance. She then stopped right at the door, "Uh... Which way is our classes?"

Gaara sweatdropped, then smiled as he said, still holding her hand, "This way." and led her to their classes.
