*I don't own Diabolik Lovers or InuYasha. (Looks up as the sky and shakes a fist at it while yelling "Damn you, Fates!)
General POV
Kagome stared up at the ominous looking building which was supposed to be her new school. She'd had no choice but to transfer since this was the only place in the area that offered night classes. She would have preferred to stay at her old school with her friends, but she had to run the shrine on her own now during the day…
No, don't think about that right now. You can't start your first day at a new school crying!
Giving her head a shake, Kagome straightened her spine and entered the building. This was her only option any more. She had lost everything and she wasn't about to loose her home or give up on her education. She had survived countless demon attacks, having pieces of her soul stolen, and her heart broken more times than she could count; she could survive a new high school.
At least, that was what she thought until she was walking down the halls and felt the presence of multiple powerful auras. It gave her pause and she couldn't help but look over her shoulder to see if she would be able to put faces with those auras, but she was alone.
Continuing on, Kagome took care of her remaining paperwork in the office before being escorted to her first class. As soon as the door opened, there was a pins-and-needles sensation across her skin and she did her best to hide her discomfort. Looking up, she saw that the classroom was mostly empty, save for about ten students.
Three of those students possessed those powerful auras she'd been feeling and they were staring at her. Well, two of them were staring at her and the third boy with messy gold-blonde hair seemed like he was paying more attention to the music playing in his earbuds. One of the other two was a boy with shoulder length red hair, feline green eyes, and wearing a fedora. He was looking her over with curiosity. The other boy automatically reminded her of Lord Sesshomaru. Not in looks since this boy wore glasses over his ruby eyes and his dark hair hardly reached the collar of his shirt; but in the way he presented himself, as if he saw everyone as beneath him and commanded respect.
She wasn't really sure what to make of the auras they possessed. It was different from humans and hanyous, similar to demons but not really the same. She could tell that they were not as they appeared… But she just couldn't figure out what they were.
All these thoughts ran through her mind within half a second before she looked to the teacher and went through the motions of introducing herself to the class. Because there were so many open seats, the teacher told her to sit wherever she liked. But the seat she would have preferred didn't exist. All three of those boys were sitting in the back row of the classroom and although there were open seats between them she would not sit there. Kagome easily recognized them as predators and would not set herself up for such easy attacks. Instead, she sat at the corner desk near the front of the room closest to the exit. If she had to have them at her back, she would at least position herself so that she could make a quick escape with no obstacles in her way.
It became obvious as the night progressed that her position in the classroom didn't matter. She could feel their eyes on her back the whole time and was doing everything she could to not make it obvious that she could sense them. She was also fighting off her own powers at the same time. Her instincts recognized them as threats and wanted to let off a burst of purification power to ward them off. But she wouldn't do that. Not only was she in class with humans, but it would show that she was different and that might serve to peak their curiosity of her even more.
When the teacher finally dismissed them for the night, Kagome had to coach herself to take her time gathering her things rather than snatching everything up and sprinting out the door. She knew all too well that running would only tempt the predators to hunt and then she would be their prey. Luckily, they didn't seem interested in following her today.
As she was making her way through the hallway, she experienced the pins-and-needles sensation again as two more boys came around the corner. One of the boys had the same red hair and green eyes at the other boy in her class. Except this boy's hair was shorter and where the boy in her class looked like a playboy, this one looked more like a bad boy. The other boy sort of reminded her of Kanna; small in stature with a creepy expression and holding something in their arms. But instead of the void mirror that Kanna had carried, this boy with matching violet hair and eyes held a teddy bear with an eye patch.
Both boys looked at her and paused, as if they sensed something about her. Kagome tried her best to casually look away as she continued walking past them and down the hall. At this point, she just wanted to get home and away from these beings that she couldn't identify. Being around them made her uneasy.
As soon as she got outside, she started jogging towards the bus stop to get home while keeping her senses on high alert. Even while on the bus and after she got off to walk the rest of the way to the shrine, she kept herself alert. Her instincts told her that someone was watching her, and she had learned a long time ago to trust her instincts in these kinds of situations.
Once she had dropped her bag inside the door, she grabbed some talismans and went outside to set them up around the property. Kagome could still feel herself being watched the entire time. After placing the last one, she clasped her hands in prayer to activate the barrier before she went back into the house. Once inside, she let her power flex and surround the physical house to keep any intruders out. The barrier she created wouldn't do much against a human, but any youkai or someone with demon blood would get a hell of a shock. Once she was satisfied that the barrier would last until she woke in the morning, she got changed and went to bed.
~oOo~
Outside, Laito watched the girl move around with keen interest. From the moment she had walked into the classroom, he'd been able to tell that there was something different about her. Reiji and Shu had noticed it too, it had been enough to make his eldest brother open his eyes and look at the girl for a couple of minutes. During class, the three of them had not only smelled but also sensed the power that she was struggling to keep hidden which had only intrigued them more. When class had finished and she had hurried out of the room, Reiji had silently ordered him to follow the girl and gather information about her. Laito had done so gladly.
He noticed on her way out, when she came across Ayato and Kanato, that she had a reaction to them which she tried to hide but failed. His brothers had noticed her as well, if the hungry/curious looks they gave her as she continued to rush out of the school were any indication. He had let her get further ahead of him so he could send his brothers a wink before continuing his hunt.
It surprised him that she seemed aware of his presence the entire time. Her eyes were constantly searching for the threat she sensed, even though he had masked himself so that no one except other vampires should have been able to feel his presence. By the time she had reached her home, an old shrine by the looks of it, he wanted to play with her a little. She stepped into her house and then came back out a moment later with a bunch of papers in her hands.
Curious, he watched her as she placed the papers, which he quickly recognized as talismans, around the property before giving a quick prayer and going back inside the house. Laito couldn't help but chuckle at that. Another girl that believes in nonexistent gods, like Bitch-chan.
Those thoughts were quickly amended when he attempted to cross onto the property and was met with intense pain that had him stumbling back. His green eyes went wide as he looked around for some indication of what might have attacked him but found nothing except for the talismans that she had put up. He scowled at the paper as he quickly made his way over to one and reached to tear it down, only to be shocked and thrown away this time.
Suppressing a snarl, Laito glared at the talismans and the house where his prey had escaped to before turning to leave. When he arrived at the house, his brothers were all waiting for him in the sitting room. Reiji gave him an expectant look as the red head flopped gracefully onto one of the couches.
"Miko-chan is quite the interesting prey," he said, smiling up at the ceiling.
"A priestess?" Reiji said with a mix of surprise and interest.
"Indeed, and a real one at that. Her talismans were enough to keep me off of the property, and it literally threw me back when I tried to take one down."
"Did you announce your presence?"
"I did not, but that didn't matter. She knew I was following her, even when I was masking my presence."
"She's got a lot of nerve keeping you out. Sounds like she needs to learn her place." Ayato grinned evilly.
"She smelled delicious. Didn't she, Teddy?" Kanato said to his stuffed bear.
"We are in need of a new bride since Bitch-chan failed to survive her awakening. Maybe with those added powers, Miko-chan could live through it." Laito added.
"I don't see what the big deal is. She's just another human," Subaru snarled as he leaned against a wall.
Reiji looked from one brother to the next. All of them except for Subaru seemed to agree that they wanted this girl, Kagome Higurashi, to be their new prospective bride. Though he refused to admit it, he had been intrigued by the power he had sensed from the girl and would have hunted her even if the others had not agreed.
"We shall see her again tomorrow at school and shall bring her back with us where we shall explain her new situation." Reiji stated.
"Hmm, I have a feeling that Miko-chan might not return with us so easily. She seems like a fighter. Just the thought of it makes me want to break her all the more."
"You can't have all the fun," Kanato complained as he stepped closer to his brothers.
"Just remember that the first bite belongs to Yours Truly."
"I don't think so. Reiji, Shu and I saw her first, after all. That means that we get to be the first to taste her."
"Like hell you will!" Ayato snapped.
The brothers continued to bicker as Reiji scowled at them, Subaru yelled that this whole thing was a waste of time, and Shu told the others to be quiet. Reiji was hopeful that this priestess would at least have better manners and more common sense than the last girl that had been dropped on their doorstep. Although he also hoped that she didn't so that he could enjoy giving her punishments. As Laito had stated; the three of them had been the first to see her so they had claim.
A/N: I'm putting this chapter out there to get a feel for if anyone will actually read it. There is no deeper meaning behind this story besides that I like both anime but there were very few crossovers involving them, so I decided to write one myself. I don't know for sure who Kagome will end up with yet, so if you have a specific preference please let me know!
Hope everyone will enjoy it! Warm-Fuzzies and please review!
