Playground School Bell Rings Again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bell signalling the start of another day sounded throughout the hall; the almost empty hall. A raven-haired girl walked slowly down it, head bent towards the ground, books in hand. She wore the uniform that all girls attending the school were required to wear, including the skirt that was too short for this girl's taste. She turned down another hall, and came up to a door with the numbers, 246, etched into it. Quietly, she turned the doorknob, and opened it up, then walked into the classroom. She didn't look up at anyone, but she was aware at all of the stares she was getting. She handed a note to the teacher who sat at a desk in the front of the room, who glanced down at it for a moment, then quickly stood up and went over to the girl. "Class, we have a new student today. This is Kagome Higurashi, and I expect you to give her a very warm welcome." The teacher said, patting Kagome on the back reassuringly. The introduction was followed by many whispers and murmers coming from around the room. "Kagome, you can take a seat... over there, in that empty seat by Inuyasha." She told her, pointed to where she indicated, "Inuyasha, please raise your hand so Kagome can see who you are." Boredly, a guy with oddly silver hair, amber eyes, and... were those dog ears on his head?! raised his hand. After looking up to see who Inuyasha was, Kagome quickly lowered her head back down and made her way to the seat. She rarely lifted her head the rest of the hour, but remained staring downwards, as if the wooden desk held some interest to her.
The teacher, whose name she found out was Mrs. Tonokye, continued to drone on and on, until finally, a bell rung out once again, and Kagome headed off towards her second class, ignoring the many stares she was still recieving. She reached the class just seconds before she would be counted as late, and waited for the teacher to assign her a seat. He set her next to a girl with black hair that was up in a ponytail. Once again, Kagome kept her head down, and the whispers continued. About half-way through the class, the teacher had to go down to the office for a few minutes, giving the class a while to talk. Most of it, as you probably could have guessed, was about the strange new girl that was now in their class. The girl that Kagome was sitting next to leaned over suddenly. "Hi, I'm Sango. You're Kagome, right?" The girl said. Kagome looked up, not expecting someone to actually talk to her. "Yeah. It's nice to meet you, Sango." Kagome forced a smile onto her face, though it didn't reach her eyes; they rarely ever did. "Do you want to sit with me and some friends at lunch?" Sango asked, oblivious to Kagome's fake smile. Being talked to was one thing for Kagome, but being invited to sit with someone at lunch? At all of the other schools she went to, she was an outcast that no one would want to hang out with. 'Oh well,' Kagome thought to herself, 'Pretty soon I'll be named an outcast again, so why not do this now... before she won't want to be seen with me.' "Sure, I'd love to." Kagome told her, forcing another smile. Just as Kagome leaned back in her seat, the teacher walked in again, and the class went on as scheduled. 'Only one more class before lunch.' Kagome thought to herself.
Finally, after what seemed like eternity, it was lunchtime. Kagome quickly bought her lunch, and went in search of Sango. Before she knew it, someone grabbed her arm from behind, almost making her drop her food. She turned to see it was Sango. "Hi Kagome," She said to her, dragging her towards a table. "Hi," Kagome replied. They stopped in front of a table that was currently seating two people. "Okay, guys, this is Kagome," Sango said, indicating towards the said girl, "Kagome, this is Inuyasha, and that's Miroku." She now pointed to each of them in turn. Kagome once again gave a fake smile, and set her food on the table. She then felt someone patting her shoulder. She looked over to see Miroku standing there, and odd expression on his face. "Welcome to the school!" He said, a little to enthusiasticly. Her eyes went wide as she felt his hand slip down to her butt, and start rubbing it. "Hentai!!!" She screamed at him, before punching him in the stomach, sending him hurtling to the ground. The other two couldn't help but start cracking up at the sight of the dazed Miroku laying on the ground, on the line between reality, and his own little dream world (which was probably filled with a bunch of pretty girls). Kagome was fuming, and a furious red blush was creeping up her cheeks. "You'll have to excuse him, Kagome, he has a severe case of 'Wandering Hands'." Sango told Kagome between many laughs, "But don't worry, you can hurt him all you want if he does it again." Kagome didn't say anything, but started eating her lunch, not noticing a certain amber-eyed, silver-haired guy watching her.
After she finished her lunch, she quickly got up to throw it away. She was just about to the trash can when a voice came up beside her. "Hey babe, how's about you and me go see a movie this Friday?" Kagome quickly turned to see who was talking to her. "The name's Kouga," A guy with long brown hair up in a ponytail, as well as a brown tail on his backside, said, offering out a hand. "I'm not interested," Kagome said coldly, turning around and heading off towards the trash can again. Kouga stood there, mouth-open as if it was the first time someone rejected him. After coming to his senses, he ran up to Kagome again. "Oh, come on. We'll have fun!" He said, refusing to give up. "I said I didn't want to," Kagome told him, growing aggravated. "Please? Come with me, babe." Kagome turned around sharply to face the guy. "I have a name, and it's not babe! It's Kagome! Get it through your thick skull!!!" Kouga looked taken back when she insulted him, but quickly regained his compossure. "Okay, Ka-go-me! Will you go with me?" "No!!!" Kagome all but shouted. She turned around to leave once more, but Kouga grabbed her shoulder, refusing to let go until she agreed to go out with him. Suddenly, someone pushed Kouga away and into the wall, "She said no Kouga!" Kagome looked around to see, who else, but Inuyasha there, fury in his eyes. Kagome muttered a thanks to him, then walked outside to sit underneath the shade of a tree. Many thoughts, such as 'Why am I so accepted here?' ran through her mind. Of course though, she couldn't answer that.
