What Lies Beneath It All
A Brand New Day...
ring...Ring...RING...R-I-N-GGGGGGG
A small hand snaked its way from under the pillow and gingerly searched
for the snooze button. It was 6:00 AM, and she was not a happy girl. Today
was Kagome's first day at her new school, Tokyo Central Academy.
Though she was Japanese in decent, it was her first time in Japan and
she was terribly nervous. Both her parents and grandparents had spent
their childhoods here and were familiar with the ways of this small country.
She, on the other hand, was new to everything. They had arrived in the
summer and she had yet to make any friends. She was hoping today would
be the turning of a new leaf for her. Today was an important day. The im-
pression she made today could shape the rest of her year...her high school
career...for her.
As she dragged herself out of bed she went to the bathroom to run the water
for a shower. She looked at the uniform on the hanger and groaned at the
sight. She never had to wear uniforms back in the states. Oh well...here goes.
When she finished her shower she got out and brushed her teeth. She was
brushing to her favorite song from her J-Pop CD that her pen pal had sent
from Japan in the 7th grade. Suddenly, she stopped. She felt something
coming on, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"AAAAACHOOOOOO!"
When she opened her eyes she found that she had succeeded in spray-
ing a minty foam of toothpaste all over the mirror. She couldn't help but to
burst out laughing. She had never seen anything like that in her life, and to
know that she had done that, well, that was done right hilarious. After wiping
off the mirror she went to work on her hair. Back in the states she would
have left it a bit tousled and just thrown it into a cute twist held by a clip, but
now she was in private school; uniforms and all. She wasn't sure what to
do, so she just blow dried her hair and left the bathroom.
Kagome slipped into the uniform, frowning in dismay.
'I never had to wear uniforms in California,' she thought.
When she finished she turned around to look in the mirror. Her uniform was
white with green trim and a red tie. Her green pleated skirt rose to mid-thigh
while her blouse was white, green, and had long sleeves. She couldn't be-
lieve she was doing this. New people, new place, new beginning...
"Mom! What time is it?"
"Kagome? It's 7:02 sweetie. You better get going!"
"Thanks mom, love you! See you after school!"
'Take care baby,' thought Ms. Higurashi to herself as she watched her
daughter run off down the street.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was clear blue, the sun beaming down upon her. She held her
school books against her chest... as if she was trying to hide herself from
something, thought she wasn't sure of what. A flash of silver caught her eye.
She looked across the street to find a guy with a full mane of silver hair. A
very sexy grin touched his face. He had his arm comfortably around a girl
with raven hair. Looking a little closer, Kagome noticed the girl looked very
much like herself.
'Weird,' she thought. That thought didn't have much of a chance to go any-
where. The first bell had rung.
'Oh my God! I can't be late for class on my first day!'
She ran as fast as she could in the direction of the school building. Surpris-
ingly, she joined a herd of other students who were in the same predicament
as herself. Suddenly, she collided into something and was flung to the ground.
"Hey! Watch it bitch!," she heard the girl spit out.
"I'm so sorry. Let me help you," Kagome said frantically. At this rate she knew
she was going to be late, but it was the least she could do.
"No thanks. I don't want you to touch me. I'll be just fine, thanks."
"Um...okay. Well, sorry. By the way, my name's Kagome," she stuck out her hand
expecting it to be embraced by the other girl.
"Look. I don't care who the hell you are, but you should know who I am. I'm Kikyou.
I OWN this school, okay? I can break you. Stay away from me, and my Inuyasha, got it?"
"Whatever. Look, I don't need this shit from you. I was just trying to get to my class.
Later," Kagome turned around and walked away. She was already pissed off and she
foot into the building.
It took her a while to realize, "Hey? What's an Inuyasha?"
She reached her homeroom right before the bell rung. This was going to be an "eventful"
day.
