未来の基礎

(Foundation for the Future)

Summary: A quality foundation can not be built off of just Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Sports, Music, Art, Recreation and Theater are equally as important to the future. So it's with this school, that we will create a Quality Foundation for the Future.

(Kagome's P.O.V)

The day was brightly lit by the suns rays, shining through the windows and highlighting a few areas of the auditorium. Despite the beautiful day, it was still showering a gentle rhythm against the windows. A soothing background noise that the whole student population listened to silently as a young woman stepped up in front of the mic. She had long straight flowing jet black hair that fell past her hips and deep russet brown eyes that gazed over each and every student intuitively. She had an elegant figure, draped in a black pant suit and open toed heals with a black remote control in her hands.

"First and for most, if you would allow me a few moments of introduction, we will begin. I am the Academy principal, Midoriko Higurashi, so if you need anything, please, feel free to ask."

A few eyes turned to look at me, as if I didn't have enough to worry about. My name is Kagome Higurashi, age seventeen, and yes, that's my mother up there. She's an amazing woman, but with me being the principals daughter, it's just cause enough for students to kiss ass or bully, depends really on what type of person they are.

"Here in Japan, we have many high class schools, but only one...like this. Split to perfection and fit for all students. This school is our Foundation for the Future, this school...is the Academic and Recreational Academy...Children are not casual guests in this school, nor are they the paychecks that support the school system. You have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving and caring for each of you and instilling a foundation of values on which your future lives will be built. Together, at the Academics and Recreational Academy, we are prepared to lay a foundation for a more secure future that will benefit the entire world."

The words she first spoke to us at the entrance ceremony; were inspiring words that made us all truly happy to be here, in this school meant for everyone. We never expected such differences to cause such problems when we came here, we didn't think that splitting us into two groups would make us any better or lower than that of the others in the school. We still had freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, just like any other school...only...we were a foundation for the future, this future would be split in two categories...Academic...and Recreational.

"We want our students to understand that productivity growth is the only possible way to achieve prosperity; to create a solid, sustainable foundation for both wage increases and to ensure the country's development, for ourselves and for future generations. We believe...that is to say...that I and the professors at the Academy believe, in early childhood you may lay the foundation of poverty or riches, industry or idleness, good or evil, by the habits to which you teach children. So we hope that our teachings will secure a safe and prosperous life for our students, filled with happiness and success."

These words are heavy...

"To end this introductory, I have one more thing to say; in the end, when it comes down to it all...we are all very different, and some of us can't follow certain subjects as easily as other subjects, so we will distribute two exams, one that will be taken on Monday of next week, the other will be taken on Tuesday of next week, now...these tests will go over everything that you learned in school and a few things you didn't, just do your best. These exams are not going to affect your GPA, it's only for us to gauge your Hemispheric Dominance so that we can accurately place you in a class. After you have been placed in either the Academic or Recreation, we will pass out your schedules and another packet with electives you will need to choose. Understand this however."

Midoriko turned and clicked a button on the remote, the building lights dimmed and a white screen lowered as a light faced it and the image of a form with a list of subjects and check squares next to them.

"If you are placed within the Academics, you need at least two Recreational Electives, and if you are placed within the Recreational's, you will need at least two Academic Electives. The reminding Elective is for you to choose. We have a dorm for both Academics and Recreational students, which aren't divided in groups."

She clicked a button and the form changed to one with a spot for three signatures with a few words explaining the details of the dorm.

"Dorm rooms are optional, and free of charge, how ever, you will need the signature of you guardian and counselor, as well as your own. Rooms and roommates are chosen at random by the computer and these forms need to be turned in by the 15th of next week. We will hand out your room and extra information with your new schedules with your electives included. So please make sure to pick both forms up on your way out and turn them in on or before the 15th of next week. We as teachers believe that Education is the foundation upon which we build our future, so let us build a future together."

The students cheered and clapped loudly, the sound reverberated off the auditorium walls as she bowed and clicked the button on the remote to fix the lights and out the screen back up. Even I couldn't help but smile, mom was just to believing at the moment and I wanted to support her, even if I knew such things like collaboration and equality didn't exist, just like how it never had before. We are humans, and it is human nature to be greedy...

'Hey mom...you told me once that not everything you want is everything you really need. The standard of society is motivated by greed. So mom...are you prepared to follow, tell me, are you prepared to lead?
So persevere and you'll succeed. That's what you said...'Persevere my child, and you will succeed...' I will watch as you succeed...in whatever Foundation you have planned for the future.'

-x-x-x-

So with given time, the tests were taken, the classes chosen, the rooms and roommates placed and the students divided successfully. Classes would start...today. I hadn't met my roommate, but after talking it over with mom, she finally decided to let me stay in a dorm room. It took much persuasion though, and we had almost gotten into a fight over it. She told me that I would be in charge of my school life alone if I stayed in a dorm, so that's what I will do. I didn't care though, wasn't really much of a loss. I had been placed in the Recreational classes in building B, so I wasn't to upset with the way things were turning out.

"Hmm..." I looked down at my schedule that I held clutched in my hands loosely.

"It's her..."

I stopped reading the schedule and listened to the noise around me. They of course probably thought I was reading, since I never moved my eyes from the paper in my hands.

"I heard her mom kicked her out."

"No, she left on her own, I over heard from one of the teachers in the brake room."

"Really? I wonder why?"

"Something about being selfish and disobedient, I heard the teachers say something about how she used to be the leader of a group of delinquents at her old school."

"That's so scary!"

"I heard she beat up her coach too! He was trying to help one of his students and she kneed him in the gut."

"How horrible!"

"Just this morning, she kicked an elder woman in the leg! I was right there!"

"She's so mean!"

'...' I gave them no indication that I had heard the gossip girls. 'That old lady deserved it.' Closing my eyes, I walked off towards the direction of my first class. Now, having walked the halls enough while the Academy was still being built, then many times after it was built before school had even started, I knew where everything was, so I thought there was no reason for me to pay attention to my surroundings. Besides, I could even hear the sound of those around me parting as I walked through the halls...however, I wasn't the only one who thought that way it seemed; because the next thing I knew...I was on the floor with my schedule no longer in my hand...'Heh...at least I'm not the only one.' I groaned and glared across from me at the one who'd knocked me down. He was actually kind of cute, but he wasn't paying attention to the person he'd knocked down...that of course being me. He was looking for something else. I mentally kicked him and went to stand up.

Quickly, I straightened out my skirt and stepped up to him. He looked up at me and I raised my eyebrow as he sighed in defeat and stood up. He had messy auburn red hair and hidden behind a pair of orange lens goggles were green eyes that seemed extremely sad at the moment. "Lose something?"

"Matt!"

I watched as three of the gossip girls ran up to him and wrapped their arms around anything that was free.

"Huh?"

'Oblivious?' I couldn't help but think he looked cute clueless. My eyes widened when they looked at me then behind me and released the boy, all three taking steps back.

"So intimidating," Matt laughed out sadly. I looked over my shoulders and saw another boy behind me, my schedule was held in his. He had shoulder length blonde hair and baby blue eyes with a rosary hanging around his neck.

"Thank you." I took the paper as he pulled a chocolate bar out, then turned into the room I had been knocked down in front of. 'At least I was knocked down in front of my class.' The red head followed me into the room sullenly.

"See ya, Mels." He said to the blonde who just passed the room and left the building.

"Where is your friend going?"

"Academics in building A." He said, sitting down next to me. I nodded and he stared at me for a good five minutes while I tried hard to ignore his eyes. He wasn't even hiding the fact that he was staring at me. His cheek rested against his open palm as he leaned against it, his elbow holding his up on the desk. "You don't look like a gamer."

I frowned. "I don't make it a point to go around advertising my hobbies." I pulled my messenger bag from my shoulders and pulled a folder out when my eyes caught sight of something unfamiliar. "This isn't mine."

"Hmm?" He continued looking at me with the same look, until I showed him what I found and his eyes widened and a smile formed. "MY GAME!!!"

I smiled and handed it back to him. "So that's what you were looking for. It also explains why we ran into each other. I had thought everyone else would pay attention, but you were too drawn into your game. That actually looks like one of the newest handheld consoles...Pandora...right? What are you playing anyways?"

He turned to me, and I knew he could tell that I liked games now. "Ah...uh, Grand Theft Auto, and yeah, it is the new Pandora."

"Really!? Cool, which GTA are you playing?"

"San Andreas," He said, starting the game up, he continued playing the game that he had been playing earlier. And I couldn't help but move closer to him and watch. The two hadn't even noticed one of the girls coming in with the teacher.

"Atta! You are already at the strip club?"

Matt blushed but nodded. "I can't find it though..."

"Oh, do you know where the Brothel is?"

"Hmm...yeah," He started driving the vehicle to the Brothel as the girl sat down behind him on the desk and the teacher came over to watch as well. More students started filing in and taking their seats as I walked him through, but at the moment, even I wasn't paying attention to them, only vaguely aware of the sound of footsteps.

"Now turn left and it's the first right turn."

Matt nodded and followed my instructions.

"Go straight and don't stop until the road ends, then turn just a little and that's only to park and go inside."

"Ah, I see it!"

"Now that you found it, save and stop."

Matt and I looked up and smiled at the teacher; he saved and turned the handheld console off before placing it back into his own bag. I moved into the seat next to him and the girl on the desk behind him sat down behind...me.

"I can't believe you are trying to lay moves on Matt!" The girl practically hissed.

"..." I rolled my eyes and turned to face her. "Not that I particularly care what you say, but could you wait and say it after class, I don't want to listen to it unless I absolutely have to."

"..."

I held back a laugh at her feeble attempt to glare at me. "Just because your mom is the principal, you think you can talk however you want. You're nothing special!"

'Enemies already?' I sighed, "Quiet down, you're embarrassing yourself."

I could feel the class staring between us.

"You just don't want anyone to know the truth about how you really are! Akuma Kagome! I saw you kick an elder woman and hit an old man in the arm with your elbow on the way to school today!"

I stood up slowly and turned to face her. "Your right, the pick pocket deserved it though, and not that it matters, but you don't have the right to complain about me or my personality. Misa Amane, you were expelled at a catholic school for girls after you assaulted your own sister. Do me a favor and speak only when you have something worth listening to. And on a side note, I didn't hurt the old man; I woke him up so he would be more alert to the hag next to him." I stood up and grabbed my bag. Walking past my teacher, I left the classroom and students silent.

(Matt's P.O.V)

"...alright...if you are all done...please face the front. Matt...if you could, please hand the Little Miss her schedule."

I'm sorry...'little miss'? "Yeah...sure."

"Alright then, I am Professor Shinichi. Welcome to your first day and first class of the rest of your school year, Game and Simulation Design. Since this is only our first day, I'll pass out a syllabus to everyone and we will just go over that, but first...how about some introductions."

'Introductions...how lame...like anyone here really cares who sits next to them.'

"Well start with row one, seat one, and work our way back the to the front of row two, then to the back of row three and finally, we will end in the front of row four."

"Professor?" Misa raised her hand, her voice was so loud and high pitched, and it really made me think my ears would start bleeding. I grabbed my game from back out of my bag and muted it before continuing the game.

"Yes, Miss. Amane?"

"Why don't you call the other woman in class 'Little Miss'?"

"...what woman?"

She glared and pouted, crossing her arms cutely over her chest. "Then here is another question. What is your full name?"

"What does my name have to do with anything?"

"I'm just curious."

"...my name isn't important, take your seat."

I watched the teachers earlier calm features turn sharp. He had long black hair in a braid and a blue ball pin in the tie at the end of his braid with black butterfly prints scattering it. His blues eyes followed Misa as she sat down nervously back down.

What fun, this class was going to be. I reached over and grabbed Kagome's schedule and placed it in my bag before drowning out the rest of the hour.

-x-x-x-

When the bell rang, I was already ready and on my way out of the door. Curious, I pulled out Kagome's secretary and looked it over. Walking to the second floor of the Recreational B building, I followed the map to her next class, and surprisingly mine. English Composition I, go figure, I found her mirroring the seating arrangements from the last class and sitting at the far left by the window. I finally took in her appearance while she wasn't aware of my presence. She was beautiful, with wavy black hair that fell just to the middle of her back and those deep azure blue orbs that were hidden behind a film of haze and half lidded eyes, full long black lash showed her irises hidden behind a cage of finely executed lashes and finally, her porcelain like skin and gorgeously filled out body. She was perfection, and had I believed in all of that holy deity crap, I probably would have thought her one. "Hey,"

Kagome turned her eyes to me and I was hypnotized, more so than a game I was playing, but I just couldn't look away.

"What is it?"

"You...left this." I told her, waving her schedule a bit.

"I memorized it." She said.

"Oh..." I walked up and placed the paper on the desk and handed her two pieces of paper, the Syllabus and her Schedule.

She took them and placed them in his bag when I sat down next to her.

"Hey...do you know our first period teacher?"

"He was my tutor growing up, taught me programming and simulation designing."

"I see, so...'Little Miss' is his own nick name for you."

"Hm? Oh...he's mothers own personal lapdog and he enjoys it, so he came up with it by himself. He calls mother 'mistress' so...whatever, I don't care. He and all of his brothers have nicknames, so I just ignore them all."

"His brothers?"

"Yeah, I think like...three or four Shinichi brothers work here."

"You know them all?"

"To a point."

"I see," I didn't know what else to say. The class was already full, but everyone was in their own little click and talking, no doubt about her or Mello...I would only be dragged in as a prop for the two topic pieces.

"Miss. Higurashi," The teacher suddenly walked in and Kagome looked up to her and waited patiently for the elder woman to continue. "The principal needs to speak with you."

Kagome nodded and stood up with her stuff before bowing and once more leaving before class even started.
