It All Started With A…

Chapter 1- Lollipop Head

SLAM! Kagome's bag slammed down on her desk. Her friends quickly crowded around her as they knew something was happening!

"Bloomin' Kids!" she shouted.

"What's up with you?" Eri asked.

Kagome told them the fateful story…

"I sat down simple enough. Got out my music and began to listen, on your average bus! Then a group of kids… On a flaming trip paraded on demanding I give my seat up to them! So being in a good mood I gave up my seat and then the bloody brat stuck his lollipop in my hair!"

"Where?" Kagome tilted her head and sure enough. There it was still gleaming in the sunlight.

"It's laughing at me" Kagome said. Glaring at the offending lollipop.

"No, no it's definitely not laughing at you. It is a lollipop. Eri sighed to herself, Kagome had always been the dramatic type and this story was no exception. The teachers had long given up giving her late slips as she always created some sort of long excuse. Usually involving getting stuck behind a horse and carriage on a main road in modern Tokyo.

By this point Kagome had long been lost in her own thoughts. The lollipop, now being carefully prised out by all of her friends, lay a few metres away in the bin.

"-me"…….what was that…..

"-ome"…… a sound?

"For goodness sake Kagome listen!" Her English teacher yelled at her from across the room. She never understood English a weird alphabet and strange pronunciation!

"Yes?" she responded remembering she had just been asked a question.

"Go and fetch five spare copies of Macbeth will you?"

Will you? Kagome thought to herself as se ambled along an upper corridor. It wasn't like she actually had a choice! Her irritable train of thought was interrupted as she felt a strange tug on her skirt and it was suddenly flipped up.

"MIROKU" Kagome's eyes shot daggers at the dark haired boy who smirked to himself as his short ponytail shone in the dim light.

"Not the sexiest I've seen today." Miroku said this as though he was some sort of judge at a frankly creepy competition. Kagome simply replied by aiming a well timed kick right where it hurts which left the boy rolling on the floor.

"Men can't take pain." Kagome sighed to herself as she continued along the corridor. Various eyes followed her until eventually she reached her goal.

The old English cupboard was eerie enough without the strange noises from inside. Knocking on the wooden door she entered slowly. There was nothing inside. A pile of books had been taken from a shelf and dumped on the dusty floor.

"ACHEW!" Kagome sneezed in her usual mouse like manor. This was usually followed by the class laughing she was glad this would not be the case. This time. Kagome picked up the forgotten scripts and returned them before picking up the play she had gone to get in the first place when the door opened in front of her….

Kikyo, Kagome's second cousin stood in the doorway her usual blank expression carved upon her face which everyone insisted looked like Kagome herself. Kagome took this as an insult as her cousin was stuck up and generally not the kindest creature. As well as having a pointy nose, hooded eyes, thin pale lips and one strange fringe! However Kagome was never one to judge purely on looks. Actually who was she kidding Kikyo was flipping annoying.

"OW!" Kikyo stamped on Kagome's foot. Looking up Kikyo dashed her the most innocent smile in the world. Inside Kagome was cursing her cousin all the way to the pit she first came from.

"How are you cousin?" Kikyo asked smiling.

"Well. I was fine until some fat cow came and stamped on my foot!" Kagome glared at her cousin.

"I'm sure she wasn't fat. Especially since when she was a child, oh, and still is now much skinnier than her lardy cousin." Kikyo was enjoying letting out all her anger on her dear little cousin.

"Your hair looks attractively man like today and your fringe as I always say looks spectacular!" The battle that happened every time this pair met up had started up. Again.

"Haha very funny cousin. Now go shove off to the pit you first came from." Kikyo was bored now.

"I'll be off since it seems you've run out of insults and having to use other people's!"

Hahahaha take that! Kagome thought to herself I get the last laugh.

--X--

"Yes, Kagome that may have been useful, 5 minutes ago, before the lesson ended." Kagome had just finished getting shouted at by her teacher. She sighed to herself as she left the classroom. In the end her conversation with Kikyo had wasted away the lesson. She stepped around the corner as she crashed into someone…. Namely Miroku.

"Calm down Kagome there's enough of me to go around." He really would never grow up. He insisted that he simply appreciated the female form but basically, he was just a pervert though, really. "Oh, and Kagome we're together for next lesson. Remember. History?"

"Oh, yeah, right." They walked together, not hand in hand, as Kagome had often pointed out that, she could walk without someone holding her hand or in Miroku's case, butt.

The teacher began to pass out the letters to a museum exhibition on Friday, tomorrow. "Typical" Kagome muttered to herself. Total lack of organisation as usual. She had to admit though. The exhibition looked interesting enough. Artefacts from the feudal era of Japan.
