Drowning Voice
Chapter 1
"It's official, Kagome Higurashi shall go to live with her father in Tokyo." With the pounding of the mallet time seemed to slow down for Kagome. She saw her mother, brother, and grandfather shed tears, and her father smile in triumph. Kagome herself didn't know what to think.
But now she did. It had been almost four years since that fateful day. Let's just say, she was happy. She didn't know any different. The beatings she received, she thought it was normal, she thought she got them when she deserved it. She thought that children were meant to be seen and never heard. She thought that she shouldn't make friends, especially with those who 'defied' there parents and talked. That's simply all that she had known, and all that her father wanted her to know. Did she miss her old friends back in Kyoto? Well, no, she had forgotten all about them, her father told her to.
"Kagome, wake up!" her father yelled at her daughter, still sleeping in her bed. She immediately got out of bed, got dressed in a black and teal plaid skirt (the cute kind of plaid skirt), and a black u-line shirt with sleeves that went down to her elbow. She wore silver flats. She put on light pink lipgloss, and in the back of her hair was a black and teal plaid bow. When she got downstairs she made bacon and eggs for her father. When he was finished with his breakfast he said, "Very good Kagome, now go off to school." She nodded her head and went out the door. Although she was slightly hungry she didn't say anything, she believed that teens should make breakfast for their parents but never eat it themselves.
Meanwhile
"Sango, are you sure this is the right school?" a disgruntled teenage boy with silver hair, dog ears, and golden eyes asked. "For the thousandth time YES Inuyasha!" "This seems a lot nicer than I expected." Another boy, with dark blue eyes and dark hair tied into a ponytail at the nape of his neck, added. Inuyasha sighed, he hated school, 'just an excuse for adults to bore kids out of their minds.' He thought.
When they entered the school it was chaos. Everyone went up to them like a swarm of flies, all asking them questions. The guys went after Sango, the girls went for Inuyasha. They did go for Miroku to, until they found out that he was a pervert. Some of the girls even ventured to say, "Will you be my boyfriend?" to those girls he replied, "I've only just seen you and you already ask me out?" Inuyasha only barely noticed a girl, she just kept walking as though she didn't even see the huge group standing in the middle of the hall. Then the bell rang, and the swarm dispersed. Leaving Inuyasha and his friends. He was still thinking about that girl as he got to class.
Inuyasha was sitting there leaning back his feet up on the desk, his arms behind his head. (you know the typical hot bad boy) he was thinking about that girl who was in the hall. He hadn't seen her yet, but he wanted to. 'Something's different about her. Hmmm, maybe I'll force someone to tell me about her.' "Inuyasha! Pay attention!" The teacher yelled, "Whatever." He said simply, still in the same position, and then he went back to his thoughts. All the girls sighed, "Wow, he's so cool." They said to each other. The teacher looked like he was about to pull out his hair in frustration. "Inuyasha, tomorrow can you wear something better?" he asked. Inuyasha looked down at his clothes. He was wearing the black school jacket open showing a blood red shirt that showed off his perfectly toned chest and abs. He wore black pants that were a little low but not too low. "What you jealous?" All the girls giggled, the teacher turned red, with anger or embarresment who knows? Probably both. "That's not it at all!" "Just keep telling yourself that teach." With that Inuyasha stopped paying attention.
After Class during Lunch
Kagome was walking through the halls on her way to class. People were passing her, talking in whispers as they passed. After four years they still did that. She just kept walking ahead, trying to keep tears back. They might have stopped with the jeering, but it was painful. Did they forget that she was human too? Just because she obeyed her father she was like an oddity. It was hard enough as it was. She wanted to talk so badly, she wanted her voice be heard, but her father told her that it was wrong. 'Stop thinking these foolish thoughts.' She chided herself 'Children should be seen and not heard right?' she kept walking until she got to her usual lunch spot. A shady spot underneath a tree, all alone. Was she lonely? Maybe, but she always blocked out her heart, just as her father told her.
Meanwhile
Inuyasha wanted to find that girl, he was somehow attracted to her. He went over to a girl who was standing alone near a locker. He placed his hand on the locker above her head, he leaned really close to her face. The girl was blushing, 'I always have these affects on girls. Now I can say anything to her and she won't care.' He then looked her right in the eyes, then leaned near her ear, close enough that he was almost touching it. "I have a question to ask you." The girl shivered, "Ask away." She whispered. "I would like to find this girl, but I don't know her name. Can you help me?" "Sure, what did she look like?" "She had on a black and teal plaid skirt, black hair…" "Kagome," Inuyasha was taken back in surprise. "Excuse me?" "The girls name is Kagome Higurashi." "Thanks." He then got out of that position and walked away, leaving the girl standing there blushing.
He walked up to another girl, she had black hair wore red skinny jeans and a white shirt with a red boy on it. Her hair was up in a high ponytail tied with a white bow. "Excuse me, I would like to ask you something." The girl turned around and smiled "Sure, what do you need cutie?" that disgusted Inuyasha but he didn't let it show on his face. "Do you know where Kagome Higurashi is?" "Why of course baby, but I don't think you want to talk to her." This surprised Inuyasha, "Why not?" "Well you see, we think that Kagome is mute. Even if she's not, she's really strange. One of my friends, Kanna, she went up to Kagome, and Kagome just walked away. It was really quite rude of her. And.. Hey! Where did he go?"
'That can't be right. This must be some other person at this school, it can't be her, and she would never do such a thing. Wait, the girl I knew didn't look like that anyways, so I'm good for now.' Inuyasha was trying to find Kagome, all he asked was a simple question and that girl gave a lecture, not an answer. "Hey Inuyasha!" his ears turned in the direction of the noise, it was Miroku. He stopped. "So did you hear about that girl?" "What girl?" "Her name is Kagome Higurashi, seems like people like to gossip about her. Apparently she often shows up to school with bruises." Inuyasha turned around and faced Miroku and Sango. "Did you see her?" Miroku looked at Inuyasha, then wiggled his eyebrows, "Inuyasha, you naughty boy." Inuyasha knocked his friend on the head, "You're seriously messed up Miroku." "Well, Sango and I did see you with that girl earlier." Sango spoke up before Miroku said something perverted, "What was that by the way?" Inuyasha looked away, "Whatever, let's find this girl." Sango and Miroku looked at each other. "Why do you want to find this girl?" Sango asked. "Why do you ask so many questions?" he said roughly. With that he kept on walking.
So how did you like it? Just so you know I might start up The Four Shadows again, that is only if I get enough reviews for it. I'm at a loss for what to write next, it'll be great if you help me out.
