Chapter 1: My arrival at school.
I stare out the window and sigh. Life was going well for me up to a few years back. I was happy when I was six years old. I had a mom, dad, and a dog. We lived in a house happy together and with our lives. Then, on my seventh birthday, my mother woke me up in the middle of the night and she had me throw on a thick jacket and boots. "Just go play outside for a while." She said to me ushering me out of the house. Being a little kid I loved to play outside. It just began to snow when I ran outside and tried to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky. I spent hours playing outside till I was really cold. I walk back into the house, but it was silent and dark. I look around calling out for my parents.
Finally I went into the living room and my little legs collapsed from under me. My parents were on the ground, my dad dead. But my mother was still struggling to stay alive. "Mommy" I cried crawling over to her hugging her. She hugged me tightly smiling at me before her joy turned to fear as she struggled to stand up. "Kagome, run baby. Run, Mommy will be right behind you. But no matter what don't look back." I look up to something walking slowly towards us, it was a man. "Mommy who is that?" I asked hiding behind her as she backed towards a window. "A bad man baby. Go!" She shrieked opening the window and shoving me out.
I fell on my face as my mothers scream filled my ears. But I didn't save her, I didn't even look behind when I ran away. My clothes were cover in the blood coming from my mother and my cheeks were scratched as branches hit me in the face. Finally I couldn't run any more and I fall into a field filled with snow. I look up to see the scary man still there smiling down at me. "No, no, no." I cried backing away from him as he smiled, showing his fangs. He began to jump at me, his teeth sinking into my skin. I cried before something red flashed forwards and slammed him into a nearby tree.
I look up to see a boy a few years older than me. His wrist was cut and his blood was the thing keeping the vampire pinned to the tree. His bluish gray eyes look down at me and he smiles holding a hand out to me. "Don't be afraid, your mother sent me to come protect you." He whispered to me. Instead of accepting his hand I crawled to his feet and wrap my arms around his legs as I cried.
I knew mother and father were dead, they warned me the day would come. But I did not expect it to be so soon. The boy sighed and I heard a cracking noise and a muffled moan before the boy wraps his arms around me. "Hush, I know it hurts. But I will be there for you no matter what Kagome." I look up at him taking his red brown hair. He wore a gray winter jacket and black jeans. "Who are you?" I asked as I began to feel sleepy leaning into the boys arms. The last thing I saw was his smile, the last thing I heard was his voice. "My name is Senri Shiki."
"Kagome? Are you alright dear?" My god mother's voice snatched me away from my memory and back to the present. "Yes, I am fine." I replied in a queit voice, since that accident I have grown a lot. My hair is no longer short like it was and stops at my waist in curls. My once joyful brown eyes only sparkle with grief and sadness. "Well, I am sure you will love this school. Though I don't know if you belong in the night class or day class..." I sigh as I touch my neck that was hiding under a turtle neck dress. I was bitten but I did not become a full vampire. I was a half-blood. I could walk in the sunlight, but I still needed blood to survive.
"I want to be in the night class." I whisper playing with a lock of my hair and my god mother smiled at me happily. Her emotions made me angry sometimes, she was always happy...even ay my parents funeral. She did not even wear black that day! Finally the car stops in front of a gothic looking castle. I sigh as god mother greets the head master who smiled warmly at me. "Kagome! Look at you, grown into such a beautiful girl. Your parents would be proud." The head master smiled and I felt some one watching me. I turn to see a boy with silver hair glaring at me. "Ah, Kagome meet Zero. He is in the exact same situation as you. But he chose to be in the day class." So this boy was a half blood too. I just nodded at him and he nodded back shoving a package at me. "We changed our uniforms since our classes are going to always be inside now. Go change!" Headmaster told me handing my suitcase to Zero. Zero leads me through the large court yard to a large gate which opened to show another large building.
I ran after him as he walks in, but he motions for me to be quieter. We walk ip a pair of grand stairs and we go into a empty room. It had a king sized bed in the corner with a black comforter and red pillows on it. The room looked like it belonged to a girl, but thankfully not a girl one. "Good bye." Zero said and was gone just like that. I sigh and change into my uniform. I wore a white dress with lace on the sleeves and bottom that stopped at my knees. I was forced to wear black high heels with these. But to add a little bit of me I put a little white jacket over it. I have to admit the dress was nice. I twirled around to hear a gasp. I turn to meet a pair of familiar blue eyes. "Senri..." I breathed as he stares at me.
Why was he hear? He rescued me from a vampire...yet he was one? "Who are you?" He asked taking a step towards me and I take a step back. "I...you don't remember me?" Senri continued to stare at me till his eyes widen. "Kagome?" He asked and I nod. Suddenly all emotions were erased from his face.
"Welcome to the school." He said bowing before leaving, leaving me in shock.
