SUMMARY: Every building has a history and every school has it's urban legends...legends being keyword. Kagome gets to her new school and very...strange things begin to happen. But, why to her? Why now? Was this place waiting? Is it watching? Or perhaps someone who's been lurking in the shadows has an answer.
I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM... :(

It was a grey and dreary day unlike the others. Kagome looked out backseat window of her mother's vehicle and sighed. She couldn't understand why she was going all the way outside of her town just to go to a school. But mother assured her it'd be in her best interest if she went. And mother seemed to know what was best.
"The thing I don't understand is why do I HAVE to go?" She complained.
"Because you've missed much too much school and you've fallen too far behind." Her mother began, "you don't want to fail do you?" She quickly glanced behind to see if her daughter had any reaction to her statement or question. Of course she didn't. She was going to smart off but decided not to. That's how she got here in the first place.
Staring blankly out of the window, Kagome saw cars passing, buildings coming and going and looked ahead to the desolate boarding school. The trip was a drag and so was the place she was driving to. When they approached the gloomy building Kagome let out a sigh of grief.
"Is this it?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, why?" Her mother responding with another question.
"It's just so. Blah."
"Well, It's probably old is why. Besides you're only going to be here for the semester. So no use complaining about the view." Kagome sighed and stepped out of the car with her luggage.
The building wasn't too big, maybe two stories, and no more than 10 steps up onto the main entrance. When they arrived to the doors, something caught Kagome eye in the far left corner of the building. It looked like the figure of a man. She turned away for a moment then glanced back to check and see if the figure was still there. No, not any more. Maybe her eyes were playing tricks on her. She stood for a moment, a cold feeling shot up her spine. She rubbed her eyes, 'The car ride must have wore me out more than I knew.' She thought quietly to herself then shaking off the unwelcomed feeling, before realizing that her mother didn't wait for her and was already inside the building looking for where to go.
She reopened the door for herself and hauled her heavy bags in. The building was nicer inside, it looked renovated but only in certain areas. To her left were Hallways and lockers, and to her right was a large library looking like it dated back to the stone age and many doors for different advisors.
"There it is," Her mother pointed to the principal's office. Kagome followed her mother to the office and waited for someone to point them into the direction of where they needed to be.
The secretary there was anything but nice. She sat at her desk inside of the office with her headset not paying attention to Kagome or her mother, while she flipped through the pages of her magizine with her long polished fingers. They stood patiently there for a moment until Kagome broke the silence with a sarcastic cough.
The woman never looked up but responded,
"Can I help you?" She asked, far from willing.
Ms. Higurashi explained her daughter's situation and asked if anyone could show her where to go. The woman finally broke from her trance and stood and led them toward the principal's door, she knocked
"Excuse me, Mr. Onigumo, Kagome Higurashi is here."
A voice from the inside came a second later said "Send them in." the woman excuse herself.
Kagome and her mother walked into his office and took two seats right in front of his dark colored wooden desk. His office was too clean and the shelves on the walls had pictures of classes from years past, complex books and certificates from a fancy colleges.
"So Miss Higurashi, what do you think of my school?" Mr. Onigumo put on his boasting smile and lean back in his chair.
"Could use some work-"
"Kagome!" Her mother cut off.
"No, no." Onigumo interrupted, "The girl's right. This school is old and has had its share of mishaps and such. I like your honesty. I think we'll get along just fine." There was a certain tone in his voice, it made Kagome uneasy. An awkward pause followed, then Kagome asked,
"Um, where is my dormitory? I'd really like to settle in and get ready for class Monday."
"Of course, I'll get the girl's dormitory prefect to show you your room." Principal Onigumo pressed a button on his phone and called in the girl.
"You called sir?" The young girl asked. She had a questionable look on her face with her long black hair held back in a pony tail.
"Yes ma'am. This is the transfer student. Have her bunk with Miss Sango or whoever is available." He began, "Miss Kagome, this is the girl's prefect Rin."
"Hi." Kagome smiled. Rin smiled back with a warm grin. Nothing was said between the two, but she led Kagome and her mother out of the office and toward the hallways. And up towards the dorm. But before the arrive her mother had to separate from her daughter.
Mrs. Higurashi hugged her daughter and told her she would visit often and that things would be great.
Too bad she couldn't promise it.
