Chapter One: Welcome to Shikon Academy
I opened my eyes to see a dark, cloudy sky over my head. When I sat up I saw a bunch of stuff I didn't recognize. 'Where am I? Why is it so cold?' I continued to look around, still unsure of my surroundings. I stood on shaky legs and began to walk around. The further I went the more afraid I became. I started to hum a song, but I didn't recognize it either.
'Run away! You shouldn't be here!' I looked around started but saw no one. I continued to walk.
'Why is it cold? What is the white stuff? Where am I? Why shouldn't I be here?'
'It's dangerous......'
'Dang....er.....ous?' I was really confused but scared. I didn't understand what was going on. I came to an open field.
'Run away! Before they eat you!!'
'Eat me? What is going to eat me?' Just then a strange snake looking creature appeared in front of me. I stared at it in wonder but something wasn't right.
"Hello little girl. Are you lost?" the thing asked.
'Youkai. It is going to eat you. Never trust a youkai.'
'You...kai?'
"If that is the case....then let me eat you!" the creature shouted. My eyes widened and I was frozen to the spot. Though it wasn't because of the cold it was because of fear. I closed my eyes to wait for my death when something splatted on my face.
"You are a disgrace to your kind, youkai." said a male voice. I opened my eyes to see a young man standing in front of me, with red stained all over his hand, arm, and face. I looked down to see the creature dead, then reached to touch whatever was on my face. When I pulled my hand back there was the same red stuff on my hand. "Don't touch that...." the young man said. I looked up at him. Just then the young man turned to face my and that's when I saw them. I saw white furry dogs ears upon his head and the most beautiful gold eyes in the world. He held his hand out to me. After a few moments I took it, and since the first moment I awoke I felt scared until now. Now I felt......safe. He helped me up and embraced me. This was the first bit of warmth I had gotten since I awoke. I began to fall asleep in his arms. I felt him pick me up and begin to walk before I fell asleep. I knew this young man wasn't human but I didn't care. I felt safe with him.
'You must never trust a youkai. If you do, you'll........die.'
I sat up to find myself in my bedroom, with my alarm clock blaring. I sighed and turned off the alarm. After stretching I got out of bed and got dressed in my school uniform. Which was a red mini skirt, with a white button up top, a blue scarf to tie around the collar, knee high white socks, and a red coat with the school symbol on it. I brushed through my knotted hair, then pulled it back into it's usual braid. I then made my bed, grabbed my bag and went downstairs.
Hi, my name is Hitomi, Kagome. I am sixteen years old and the second youngest of four. I have long, raven black hair, charcoal brown eyes and a bit of a brainy-ac. I live at Shikon Academy. Which is a very expensive boarding school. I am a third year high school student.
When I got downstairs there were two people sitting at the table. The man smiled and jumped up. "Good morning, Kagome!" he shouted as he ran to hug me. Right before he could, I moved out of the way and he face planted on the ground. I sat at the table and began to eat my breakfast. The man looked at me with heartbroken eyes. "You're so cruel to daddy." I rolled my eyes.
"You're not my dad, Head Master Hitomi." I replied. He jumped up onto his feet and did one of his poses.
"One day you'll come around to calling my daddy. And when that day comes, you will be welcome into my open arms!" he exclaimed.
This weirdo is my foster father: Hitomi, Kuran. I was adopted by him thirteen years ago. He is one of the two head masters here at Shikon Academy. Though he does act like a goof ball, he takes his job very seriously and is very wise. I just wish he was like that twenty-four seven, so then I wouldn't have to deal with this crazy 'daddy'.
"In your dreams." was my reply as I continued to eat. Tears began to run down his face. I heard a giggle and looked over at the girl who was sitting across from me.
"You could be a little nicer to him Onee-san." she said with a warm smile. Head master Hitomi appeared behind her, nodding his head like crazy.
"Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes again.
This girl is my foster sister: Hitomi, Yuri. Just like me she was adopted by Head Master Hitomi. She is a year younger than me, which is fifteen, and is the sweetest person you'll ever meet. She has never had one fowl thought about anyone. Even if they are mean to her she still is so nice to them. Yuri also can't hurt a thing, she hates fighting and if someone gets hurt she cries. That is why I swore to protect her. Yuri has long midnight black hair that she puts into a bun with a yuri in it, she has ice blue eyes, and has cat ears and tail. Oh? Did I mention Yuri was a hanyou?
"Oh, please." I smiled. Just then to young men walked in.
"Hey Squirt, Kitty." said the one with his hair spiked up. I glared at him.
"Don't call me Squirt!" I shouted. He smirked and sat down. The other one sat next to me and smiled.
"Don't mind him Kagome. He just does that to annoy you." he said with a warm smile. I smiled back.
These two are my foster brothers: Hitomi, Shiki and Hitomi, Kira. They're Head Master Hitomi's birth sons. They both have spiky red hair, and green eyes, since they are identical twins. Kira is the sweeter one of the two, who always is so nice to me. While Shiki is the jerk. They are eighteen and are fifth year high school students. At Shikon Academy, you attend the school until your parents think you are ready to face the real world. So then everyone can tell them apart, Shiki always spikes his hair up, while Kira leaves his alone. Like me they both have the red uniforms, but obviously they wore pants instead of skirts. Yuri on the other hand wore a blue uniform.
I stood up and put on my shoes. "Well, I'm going now." I said before rushing out the door.
"Kagome, wait!!" Kira shouted. I turned to face him. In his hands he had to weapons. A rod and a sword. "Dad always wants you to carry these remember? Since you are a Protector." His warm smile was still on his face. I smiled and took them from him.
"Thanks Kira. See ya!" I shouted as I continued to run across the grounds towards the actual schooling building. Since the student dorms weren't attached to the school, either were the head masters' homes. I had a room at home and one it the dorms, with my friends. As I ran, I attached the rod to my leg and the sword to my side.
You see, Shikon Academy is not an ordinary boarding school. Head Master Hitomi and the other head master: Takahashi, InunoTaisho made this school to try and fulfill their dream. Which is to unite the Youkai and Humans as one, so there can be ever lasting peace. So there are youkai, humans, and hanyou all attending this school, it's just the youkai and hanyou have to disguise themselves as normal people. The head masters say that people just aren't ready to know that there are youkai attending their school. Which is why the hanyou and youkai have different classes then us. Sure they have the same classes but I mean that no human is in a youkai class, and no youkai are in a human class. That's why we wear different coloured uniforms. This way the Muttsu Hogosha know which is which. I am one of the Muttsu Hogosha, so it is my job to help keep all the students safe and to make sure no one is attacked.
My sword pulsed and I knew that it had just awakened. My sword has it's own spiritual entity, and her name is Tsuki. My rod is named Artimist. They both allow me to use my spiritual powers to protect and fight. I am also a miko. My smile grew. "Inuyasha- sama!" I shouted. Inuyasha turned to face me and a smirk appeared on his face. I stopped right next to him. "Gu-tenmorugen." I said with a smile.
"Gu-tenmorugen." he replied.
This is Takahashi, Inuyasha. He is my best friend in the whole world. He is also the one who saved my life and brought me here. You see, my earliest memory is the dream I had last night. I can't remember anything from before that cold winter night, when I was three. That is why I consider that day my birthday, since it was the day Inuyasha gave me a life to live. We have together ever since. Inuyasha is also an inu hanyou. Right now he is in disguise just like all the other youkai and hanyou. They do this by wearing special chains, rings, or bracelets. He is also a year older then me but is a third year high school student as well. Since he was held back in his first year of elementary school, because he couldn't read. Inuyasha's family is also the royal family of the youkai world. Well one of them at least. The only thing is, he doesn't know that I am head over heels in love with him.
"How are you this morning?" Inuyasha asked. I smiled and we continued our walk to school.
"I'm good. I dreamed about the night when we first met." I answered. Inuyasha looked at me.
"You mean the night I saved you from the youkai? The day you consider your Birthday?" he asked. I nodded. "You know, you don't have to keep reminding me of that day?" I stared at him in shock, then glared at him.
"So you don't care that it is the first day of my life, since I can't remember anything from before then?! That it is the day you saved me!?! That it is the day I met my best friend in the whole world!!?" I shouted. Fear and panic appeared on his face, and he started to wave his arms around like crazy.
"No! That's not what I meant!" He said panicked.
"You're such a jerk Inuyasha-sama. Osuwari!" I shouted. Inuyasha did a face plant into the ground while I continued to run.
Around Inuyasha's neck is the necklace that he uses to disguise himself but it also gives me the ability to make him osuwari. They are called the beads of subjugation.
I ran into the human portion of the school, and saw my two other best friends in the whole world.
"Sango-chan! Miroku-sama!" they both looked up and smiled at me. Like me they are also Muttsu Hogosha, which means they know about the whole youkai and human thing. Sango is a taijiya, while Miroku is a houshi.
"Hey Kagome-chan." Sango replied. The two hugged and Miroku moved forward but both Sango and Kagome backed away.
"What?" Miroku asked, and the girls glared at him.
"You know perfectly well 'what' it is." they both yelled. Miroku sighed.
"No one understands, the Houshi." Miroku stated. Both girls glared at him.
"We understand just fine, hentai." they both replied. Miroku sighed again. Just then the bell rang, and we began to head towards the entrance. As a walked I saw Inuyasha standing at the gate of the human portion of the school, before he turned and ran off the the youkai part.
"......Jerk........" I whispered before running inside. I entered my first period class where I sat with my first best friend, besides Inuyasha: Bara, Izumi.
We have known each other since the first year of elementary school and have been friends ever since I helped her with her reading studies.
"Izumi." I said while taking my seat. She smiled right back.
"Gu-tenmorugen, Kagome." she said. We began to talk about the history assignment he had to do, when Jaken-sensei walked in.
Jaken-sensei was a youkai, but at least he didn't try to eat anyone, and he was a loyal follower to the Takahashi family's eldest son: Takahashi, Sesshomaru. So he won't harm anyone. I think........
"Gu-tenmorugen, class. Take out your math books and we will start the oshie." he ordered. Everyone did as they were told and we began class.
'You can't escape the truth behind your memories...........'
