A/N: Hey everyone! MidnightEclipse14 here! My original account was Inuyashafanfun and if you want to check that out you can, but I'm having issues accessing the account so I'm going to continue my writings here. The ones on my old account may not be that good considering that I have recently taken some creative writing courses. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this! DISCLAIMER. I OWN NOTHING.
Sunlight was slowing leaking through the slim opening between the translucent white curtains, cascading down over Kagome's face, forcing her eyes to peel open slowly. Sitting up in her bed, she surveyed the bedroom she had moved into only yesterday. The walls were white washed from the former owners and the carpet was sickening beige. Her brightly painted vanity and wardrobe stood out like sore thumbs to the point that you could practically see them down the block from the window. She gently gripped at the bright green comforter and slid her feet out from under the thick blanket revealing the pink sheets that nearly gave the walls a neon glow.
Walking over to the vanity sleepily, Kagome sat on the bench and grabbed the brush her mother and father had given her for her thirteenth birthday. It was a sleek mahogany brush with thin bristles that filled the entire oval thickly with bright white. The handle had a small gold engraving in beautiful cursive. Tears pricked her eyes as she read, "To my gem, my princess, my Kagome. May this brush help you feel the beauty I see every day." Under the engraving was another small one, her father's initials.
A.H.
Fighting back the tears she began brushing through her raven locks slowly, reveling in how gentle the brush was over her mass of tangles. Keeping her on eyes on the mirror she began to remember her first day of kindergarten.
"Papa! I don't want to go! Don't make me go!" Young Kagome's eyes filled with overflowing tears and her father led her to the front door of the elementary school. Her father stared at her with soft eyes. "Kaggie, you need to go to school…" She shook her head furiously, "No! I want to stay home with you and Mama! I'll cook, and clean, and go to work! Don't make me leave!" Kagome pulled at her father's sleeve hard, urging him back to the car, he only smiled. "Baby girl, how about I come in and meet your teacher? You know I'd never leave you baby…Let's go meet Miss Mizuki."
Kagome stared down at the engraving, stroking it gently. Oh Daddy…You tried…Putting the brush down Kagome gasped at herself. She noticed that her hair managed to reach the back of her knees. Gathering her hair over her right shoulder she quickly began braiding the long locks. After a few minutes she had managed to create a braid that still reached her lower back. She made a mental note to get it cut sometime this week.
Strolling over to her chair she picked up the articles of clothing that she had set out the night before. The first thing she slipped on was a bright green camisole to be covered with a dark denim jacket. Then she quickly slipped on a pair of matching dark denim jeans and a pair of green Converse. Kagome peered out her window at the autumn world outside. Leaves were soaring in the breeze from the Goshinboku, spilling over the pathways and grass. Grabbing her backpack and binders, Kagome strode out of her bedroom towards the kitchen.
Kagome pulled up to Sengoku High with a deep sigh in the back of her throat. She had been bed ridden for two years and it had given her a wicked case of amnesia, she was walking into the school she had attended all her life practically blind. Stepping out of her car she strode over to the front steps as confidently as she could muster. Three girls spotted her and shrieked as they rushed towards her, enveloping her in their arms.
"Kagome! You're back! We missed you so much!"
She struggled out of the arms of her captures, staring at them slightly frightened before getting a good look at their faces. "Oh, Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, you scared me…" They all looked at her with curious eyes, "What do you mean Kagome? Didn't you recognize us?" Quickly explaining to them her mental state from illness, they all frowned and hugged her gently. "Well, at least you remembered us." Kagome smiled at Ayumi, "Yeah, guess I am." They continued chatting into the building before Kagome excused herself into the principal's office.
Mrs. Yurazki was a very tall woman and nearly towered over Kagome, she definitely did not remember her. "Higurashi Kagome I presume?" Her voice nearly floored Kagome. It was so soft, like bells at a wedding. She nodded quickly and took a seat as Mrs. Yurazki ushered her to do. "So, your illness seems to have worn off but your academic standings are still quite well and you do qualify for senior year." Confusion clouded Kagome's mind painfully, how could she be academically eligible? She was bed ridden for two years!
"I won't keep you for much longer, here is your schedule. Your homeroom is with Ms. Jeniji. Room 455." Kagome quickly gathered her things and mumbled a quiet thank you before scrambling out of the office to gather her thoughts. Mama must have been helping me get school work done when I was in bed…That must be it…Hopefully my memory will restore itself soon. "Kagome!" She turned to the sound of her friends shouting her name. Staring at her locker number on her schedule she approached her friends. "Hi guys, uh, where is locker 667?" They pointed at the lockers down the hall and followed Kagome as she ventured down towards hers.
"Kagome, let me see your schedule!" Scanning for her combo she then handed the schedule to her friends and opened her locker. She could hear her friends mumbling quietly about what classes they had together and how they were angry that she had all the AP classes and none of them would have classes with her when she saw him.
He had just turned the corner and his dark raven hair nearly touched his lower back in its low ponytail and he wore a bright red shirt that had medium sleeves that showed off his rippling muscles down his arms. As he neared closer she was able to notice his eyes. They were a deep violet swimming in indigo and blue. And she could have sworn that she saw a flicker of gold when he met her eyes, giving her a small smirk, nearly making her jaw drops and she spun to look at her friends, whispering nearly in a hiss.
"WHO is THAT?"
