Hear Me Out
Summary: Kagome Higurashi attends Shikon Performing Arts. Throughout her duration, she realizes something more than just singing.
Author's Note: All these songs were written by me, not any other musicians we know.
Chapter 1: The New Girl
In the city of Tokyo, Kagome Higurashi is in front of a building of education. But not just any educational building, it's Shikon Performing Arts Academy. She looks nervously at the building. "All this, and now I'm having doubts." She ruefully said to herself. 'Kagome, you must go here. It's the only way to fulfill your destiny as a musician.' Her mother reminded her. Kagome had no choice but to follow her mother's suggestions for what's best for her. She sighs and enters the building.
Inside the building there were students with unusual talents to show the world what they're known for. She goes to one side of the hallway and looks down a list and tries to find where her class will be in. Scrolling down the list, she finds that she's in class 204. She gets her map out of the bag and finds it's at the second level. She goes up the staircase and makes her way to the assigned room. She opens the door shyly and enters. Inside are other students, basically having the same destiny that Kagome has. She finds a good spot on the windowsill looking to the east part of Tokyo. Getting herself comfortable, sitting her back against the wall, with her legs crossed. She goes into her backpack, looking for something important. Her songbook. She has some that she used to write when she was a kid, but she's just too shy to sing it in front of her family. Turning to a page where she left off, she only got her first verse of her unfinished song. 'I've got to think on how I write the rest.' She thought to herself as she taps the tip of her pen to her chin. Unaware of her surroundings, a shadow comes over her. She slowly looks to see it's a teenage girl looking over her shoulder, "That's some music you have there." She said nicely to her. Kagome smiles shyly, "Thanks." The girl walks around and sits by her side, "I'm Sango Taijiya." She introduces herself. "Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said back shaking her hand. Sango has dark brown hair, with chestnut brown eyes, and a hint of pink eye shadow above them. "So I take it you're new here?" She asks Kagome seeing her schedule. Kagome blushes in embarrassment. "Yeah, I was homeschooled until I was 14. Now my mom is actually letting me following my dream." Kagome answers with a smile. Sango smiles back. "That's good to hear. I'm in your shoes as it is. Singing from the bottom of my heart." She comments to her. Soon the bell rings, signaling that class is about to begin, so everyone takes their seats and waited until their teacher enters. "Good Morning my soon-to-famous students." An old man said as he comes to the front of the class. "Good Morning Mr. Totosai." The students reply to him. Totosai smiles back, "We have a new student joining us for her dream to become. Class place welcome Kagome Higurashi." Kagome stood up in her seat to show herself. "Would you like to say something?" Totosai asks her politely. "Well, I'm grateful that I have this opportunity to attend." Kagome shyly said to them before sitting back down. "Alright, we shall practice our routine, and I have a project for each of you to work on by the end of the month." Totosai instructs as he gets to his podium, which means that the student aligned themselves from the tallest to the shortest (you get the picture) practicing their vocal chords for upcoming concerts.
After class while everyone else was leaving the room, Sango takes Kagome's hand. "Where are we going?" Kagome asks as she is still being dragged down the hallway. "You're just amazing, Kagome. I have to introduce you to my friends. Trust me, they'll admire your voice." Sango compliments her. Kagome blushes in embarrassment. "Oh come on Sango, I'm not that good." Kagome protests. Sango chuckles, "No you are good, Kagome. Didn't you hear me?" She stops in front of their next class, earth science. (Love it). "You should consider yourself lucky that we're in every class together. I got your back Kagome." Sango assures as they enter.
Inside the room are other students, some that familiar to Kagome from Chorus, and unfamiliar ones too. "Sango, over here." A male voice calls her. Sango takes Kagome's hand again and take her to where her friends are. Sango takes a seat by them, as well as Kagome does, shyly though. "Sango, who do you have here?" The boy asks her with a smile on his. He has short black hair, but long enough to be put into a small ponytail. He has his left ear pierced with a small golden hoop. He eyes were that of violet, yet very affectionate, but not to Kagome, but to Sango instead. His outfit is that of an average looking boy; a purple polo shirt, and simple jeans with a belt around his waist. His shoes shocked her. He's in sandals. "Miroku this is Kagome Higurashi, she just arrived this morning." Sango introduces her to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kagome." Miroku said nicely as he gestures his hand to her. Kagome smiles to him, shaking his hand. "Likewise Miroku." She replies. "Don't worry about his sandals, it's his signature style for this place." Sango whispers to her. Kagome nods. "Kagome, may I take a look at your schedule. We just want to make sure you're in comfortable company." Miroku suggests her. Kagome pulls it out. Miroku and Sango look over hers. "Hmm, according to this, you have Chorus, Science, and Math with Sango, History and Math with me, and a friend of mine, but in Gym, that's when you meet my friend, but someone you don't want to mess around with." He warns in the end. Kagome nods more. "Other than that, you have lunch with all of us." Kagome sighs, "Okay, I'll make a note of that." Kagome reminds herself.
After Science class, Kagome looks in her agenda on which way the gym, She walks down the hallway towards it. As she turns the corner, she bumps into another girl. "Hey watch where you're going, you jerk." She rudely said to her. Kagome steps back a little. "Sorry." She apologized to her as she walks around her, without looking at her.
Kagome makes it to the Girls locker room, and changes into her gym outfit of a simple green tie dye t-shirt, and black gym shorts, in a bathroom stall, still not ready to expose her body in front of the other girls. Kagome puts her outfit into an empty locker and locks it with a combination lock on the hook. She heads out of the locker room, and goes out to the gym and sits on the girls' side of the gym, waiting until class starts.
Meanwhile on the boys' side of the gym, a boy exits the boys' locker room. He looks attractive to any girl in the school. He has long silver hair to the bottom of his back, with so call pigtails to the top of his chest. He has golden eyes that had the Midas touch for their beauty. His hands have claws instead of fingernails, but at a good length though. What literally tops it off are two triangular ears on his head. He turns to see that there's a new girl on the other side. At first glimpse of her, he remembers what his friend told him on his way to class. 'Be nice to Kagome, she's new here, so make sure she's comfortable as possible.' His friend suggests him. "Honey!" A female voice calls out to him. He turns to her. 'Oh great not her again.' He mentally said to himself. However he facades his face to look nice to the girl who is coming up to him. "Hi." He simple said to her. "I see you're looking at the new girl." She said to him. "I've been hearing rumors that she's just a simple student with no talent in any of the classes she's in." She whispers to him. He nods to her. "I'll keep my distance from her." He said back. "Okay, I would even think about helping her out in anyway whatsoever." She advices as well. "I will." He said back. She then heads back to her side, meeting with her friends before the teachers come out for today's lesson. "Girls we have a new student, I want all of you to show respect to make her feel welcome." She strictly said to them as she comes to Kagome's side. "So Kagome, how are you doing on your first day her?" She asks nicely to her. "It's okay, but I'm getting the hang of the place so far." She said with honesty. "That's great to hear." The teacher said with smile and they began class.
