Summary: "Don't act like you know me when all you know is my name. We may have been friends once, before and in the past...but not anymore. Everything changed when you left me. I'm not the same helpless little girl that you once knew. I'm a stranger to you now."
"Maru-tan? Why you going?" A teary eyed, raven haired 6-year-old asked her best friend, his back facing her.
"Because...I have to leave now. Father got a job in Korea...and we have to go. I'm sorry Gome-chan...Goodbye." With that being said, the 8-year-old boy started walking away with his briliant silver hair flowing gracefully behind him.
"N-No! Maru-tan!" The younger ran after him and tripped on her way, scrapping her knees and cried even harder. "MARU-TAN!"
Beautiful hazel eyes opened quickly and stared up at the ceiling blankly. A knock on the door made her eyes shift ever so slightly. "Kagome? Mom told me to come tell you that if you don't hurry, you'll be late for school."
"Arigatou Souta..." The little boy on the other side of the door nodded before leaving, not bothering to care she couldn't see his head move. The teenager got up slowly, taking her time to get ready before she finally left for her school.
Kagome was sitting in the back of her math class, looking out the window with one of her headphones in as she half listened to what the teacher was rambling on about. "How could you? I can't believe you'd do this...It was so wrong...But I still love you. Maeil geoldeon jeonhwo. Bogeo shipdan yaegi. Haru hansigando naupsinun motgeonduhha dun neoindae. Jigeum nuhmu daleun naega nasuluh."
The young teenager sighed quietly and let her eyes shift the front of the room for a brief minute as a new student walked into the room. He was absolutely gorgeous. She had to admit that. His long waist length silver hair flowed gracefully behind him, his bangs making his vibrant ember eyes seemed to glow brighter.
"Something about him seems familiar...but what? Is he...InuYasha's brother? He looks like he's from the same family." She thought to herself just as the teacher called her name. Kagome tilted her head ever so slightly and looked more boredly at the front. Great. He's gonna sit next to her.
"Please be nice to Sesshomaru. He has come from Korea." Kagome's eyes widened slightly at the comment before she looked back out the window to watch the cherry blossom petals fall.
"Kagome-chan! Over here!" A girl with straight brown hair, pulled into a high-ponytail called out to her best friend.
Kagome turned her head slightly and started to walk over to their "signature" table. It was the one that was right next to the exit doors. It had become "their" table during freshmen year.
"Hello Sango-chan..."
Sango smiled and waved her hand again at her boyfriend, calling him over as well. Kagome took a seat in front of her best friend and took her notebook out before writing. The boy from Kagome's math class walked over with Sango's boyfriend Miroku, and the two of them sat down, Miroku next to Sango and Sesshomaru next to Kagome.
"Kagome-chan. Do you have to work today?"
The raven haired teen nodded her head, not bothering to look up from what she was writing. "Hai..." The silver haired demon next to her tilted his head slightly in curiousity.
As if sensing his question, Miroku anwered. "Kagome-chan works at her uncle's club. She sings there sometimes." Sesshomaru nodded and continued to look at the strange girl for a few more minutes before standing up and leaving.
"Come on Sesshomaru, she's super talented. Trust me...You'll love hearing her voice." Sango said as she and Miroku dragged their new friend towards one of the tables by the stage.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen...Be prepared to get blown away by her best performance yet...Welcome to the stage...Higurashi Kagome!" A voice said as smoke started to appear from the sides of the stage, the lights lowering to give the stage a semi-"eery" sense.
"There's only two type of people in the world. The one's entertain and the one's that observe. Well, baby, I'm a 'put on a show' kinda girl. Don't like the back seat. Gotta be first...Ohhh!"
The back curtains started to rise as a girl with curled raven hair appeared. She was wearing black leather pants that hugged her legs nicely, a blood red shirt that had only one strap, going all the way down her arm and stopped at her nuckles, and three inch red high heels. Kagome's hair flowed gracefully down her back as her bangs gave her eyes an almost alluring and seductive look.
"I'm like a ringleader. I call the shots. I'm like a firecracker. I make it hot...when I put on a show. Feel the adrenaline movin' through my veins. Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break. I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage. Better be ready, hope that you feel the same."
Kagome took a few steps forward before reaching behind her, grabbing a small whip and flung it to the left of her, still holding the handle of it. A seductive smirk worked it's way onto Kagome's lips before she whipped the ground next to her. Everyone started to cheer after hearing the loud roar and crack of the whip.
"All eyes on me on the center of the ring, just like a circus. When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus. Don't stand there watching me, follow me. Show me what you can do. Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus."
The singing teenager walked forward a few more steps before she held her right hand out towards the crowd, the whip still laying in her left hand and down her side. Tilting her head cutely, Kagome looked at a group of tough guys and then at her friends before smirking once more.
"There's only two types of guys out there. The ones that can hang with me...And the one's that are scared. So, baby, I hope that you came prepared. I run a tight ship, so...Beware."
Kagome cracked her whip again as she started to dance seductively. As soon as she turned her head slightly though, her eyes met with Sesshomaru's.
"I'm like a ringleader, I call the shots. I'm like a firecracker. I make it hot...Then I put on a show! Feel the adrenaline movin' through my veins. Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break. I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage. Better be ready hope that you feel the same. All eyes on me, on the center of the ring just like a circus. When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus. Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do. Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus."
"Ah!" Sango giggled at her friend's loud sigh of relief. Kagome jumped backwards onto her living room couch, still wearing the outfit from her uncle's club. "Nice job, like always, Kaggo-chan." Miroku said as he and Sesshomaru walked into the room together.
Kagome rolled her eyes and blew her bangs out of her face, looking up at Sesshomaru for a second, still not moving from her spot. "Hai, Arigatou Miroku-kun..." She whispered as she closed her eyes.
"Maru-tan! Come looky!" A six year old Kagome called out to her older friend. She was on her knees in front of a bush while waving her friend over. The strong, vibrant look of happiness in her eyes made even the "cold-hearted" Sesshomaru have to smile at her.
"Hai, Gome-chan!" The eight year old Sesshomaru said as he ran over to Kagome before squatting beside her, trying to see what had made her so happy. Then he saw it...It was a little white rabbit. It's eyes were closed as if sleeping while it's head and front legs rested on Kagome's knees.
A warm and loving smile worked its way onto the smaller child's lips as she rubbed the rabbit's head gently, as to not wake it from the peaceful slumber.
The thing that happened next...Broke both Sesshomaru's and Kagome's heart. Swallowing the imaginary lump in his throat, Sesshomaru spoke. "Gome-chan...We need to talk."
"Hai, okay. Is something wrong Maru-tan?" Kagome nodded and looked up at her friend with a worried look on her face. "I...I'm leaving tonight." The female's eyes widened dramatically as she started to tear up. "Maru-tan? Why you going?"Her best friend's back facing her.
"Because...I have to leave now. Father got a job in Korea...and we have to go. I'm sorry Gome-chan...Goodbye." With that being said, the 8-year-old boy started walking away with his brilliant silver hair flowing gracefully behind him.
"N-No! Maru-tan!" The younger ran after him and tripped on her way, scrapping her knees and cried even harder. "MARU-TAN!"
Kagome's eyes shot open quickly as she looked around the room to find herself alone and in her room now. Turning on her side, she hugged her pillow close to her as a few tears fell from her eyes. "Maru-chan..."
