"THEY ARE SENDING ME TO THAT FREAK SCHOOL!" Kagome cried out, running upstairs... Kagome refused to accept her miko powers. She wanted to attend a normal high school, with normal humans, and live a normal life. However her life was far from normal, the Higurashi family had been the protectors of the Sacred Shikon Jewel for centuries. Her schedule was Meditation, Medicinal Herbs, Lunch, Health, Demonic Trickery and Archery.
The next day she walked to her first day of school. Nervous of all the demons so very close to her. She was raised to fear demons and see them as the enemy. Suddenly, a boy brushed her shoulder and it caused her to spill her books all over the floor. She looked at him, he had pointy ears and sharp fangs.
"Pathetic huma-" he stopped. He had bold, deep blue eyes. "Excuse me." he picked up all of her books then handed them back to her. "My apologies, I wasn't paying attention." the group of friends he was walking with began to laugh. They had the same ears and fangs.
"Oh Koga." one with a mohawk shook his head and laughed, the group continued without him. Kagome was shaking a little, at a complete loss for words.
"Don't be scared, I don't bite." he smiled and his fangs shined a pure white.
'I find that hard to believe.' Kagome thought to herself. "Do you think you could please point me in the direction of the meditation class?" Kagome asked sweetly.
"I'll walk you there. So you must be new here, I'm Koga and your name is?"
"Kagome Higurashi." she smiled as he flinched a little. His ears perked up at the sound of her last name.
"I was wondering what an innocent looking girl like you was doing in a place like this. So you're a miko huh? Higurashi, the family that watches over the jewel of four souls? I've read it in my history book."
"Yes, that's my family." she sighed deeply. Suddenly the bell rang.
"Here's your class Kagome, since you're new hear it's safe to assume you don't really know anyone. You could sit by me at lunch!"
"I'll consider it." she laughed.
"See you at lunch, I'll be sure to save you a seat!" he winked at her and sped off. Kagome laughed to herself. 'Who said I would be sitting by him? I admire his confidence though.' Kagome walked outside in a courtyard where everyone was sitting on mats. She took a seat next to a guy in a purple and black striped shirt, rocking some skinny jeans and black converse.
The teacher began to take attendence and read off the names in order. The boy sitting next to her was named Miroku and when her name was said his jaw dropped. "Kagome Higurashi? THE, Higurashi family? We're talking about the same one here right?! Protectors of the Shikon Jewel?! Why haven't I heard of you before?"
"Yes that's my family, my grandmother currently protects the jewel and I am next in line." Kagome sighed, she despised speaking about the Shikon Jewel, she had heard enough her whole life.
"Wow, passed down through generations... Excuse my rudeness Lady Kagome, I'm Miroku." he bowed to her.
"Stop that!" she giggled.
"Oh, so humble!" he bombarded her with a billion more questions. They chatted it up for mostly the whole hour. Kagome had her next class with Miroku's girlfriend, Sango. He talked about her a lot. Kagome began to think about her boyfriend Hojo... she still hasn't broke the news to him. That she had been sent to a different school. They both studies hard to earn the marks to enter in the nicest medical school in Tokyo. Kagome had always lied about her family and denied it was the one in the history books. But since she was sent to this school, how was she supposed to cover that up...
Suddenly the bell rang and Kagome lost her focus and thoughts completely. Her and Miroku exited the class together and Miroku wrapped his arms around a girl and kissed her on the forehead. He introduced her to Kagome and they instantly seemed to click. Sango walked to class with Kagome and they took 2 seats way in the back.
"So, why are you attending this school? You seem completely human to me." Kagome raised a brow.
"This is part of my training to become a demon slayer!" Sango announced proudly.
"Do you believe all demons are bad?"
"No way Kagome. The world is filled with all kinds of people and demons. Some people are pure evil, while others are kind, sweet, gentle. The same goes for demons. My goal is to protect humans from evil demons they can not fight off on their own."
"I never really thought of it like that. But anyways, how long have you and Miroku been dating?"
"We have been together since 6th grade actually." Sango smiled. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Kagome began to explain the situation, hoping for some advice. "Well, you were talking about a future together so that's when you know it's someone special. But he can't accept you for who you truly are?" Sango was puzzled.
"It's just that I lied about it, did so many things to cover it up." Kagome sighed.
"Ah! YOU can not accept who you truly are. Kagome, anyone would feel honored to be in your position. It's such an important job, which is guranteed to be stressful at times. However it's very prestigious. I find it more powerful than a doctors degree from some fancy college. You had no reason in the first place to hide it! But think about why you did... you were afraid of acceptance. You should never be afraid of what others think because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Haha, wise words of Dr. Suess I believe."
"You're right! He will accept me and love me for who I really am. I know it." Kagome smiled proudly! "I was nervous over nothing. So what if we don't attend the same school!"
"That's the spirit!" Sango smiled. "Sorry for going all Dr. Phil on your ass." the two girls continued chatting until class was over. Kagome felt so realieved that lunch was next. But she was feeling pretty nervous about sitting next to Koga. Sango told her to go for it and see how it plays out.
