Chapter 2: New Students

"I'm going to be late!" the cry rang out though the Higurashi household.

Souta glanced up briefly from breakfast as his sister came storming down the stairs. This was a normal routine. Hurriedly, she gulped down a glass of milk; thumping her chest when it went down too fast. Quickly, Kagome stuffed a piece of toast in her mouth.

"I'm done." Souta announced as he took his tray to the sink.

"Here, your lunches." Kun-loon held out the two bentos towards her children.

"Ittekimasu!" they called to their mother as they left.

"Are you excited? Nervous?" Kagome asked curiously.

"No." he replied stiffly. But Kagome could how his hands were trembling slightly and grinned to herself. Souta saw her smile and scowled at her.

"What about you?"

Kagome sighed at the question. "Just a bit nervous." She faltered a bit before asking her next question. "Do you think I'll fit in? I'm not exactly normal you know…"

She was surprised when Souta responded, "Of course you will! You're Kagome!"

Kagome laughed and ruffled his hair as they separated to their respective schools.

"Ja ne." she called over her shoulder.

. . .

Touya Kinomoto walked into his classroom with a sigh. All throughout the hallways, everyone was gossiping about the new kid; and all he could hear around him was, "Do you like it's a boy or a girl?"

He quietly slipped into his seat and rubbed his temples. Before long, Yukito walked over to his desk.

"Did you know we're having a new student?" he asked.

Touya groaned and let his head fall onto the desk. "Not you too…"

"So, do you think it's a boy or a girl?"

"Girl." He responded automatically.

Yukito's eyes widened in surprise. "Eh? How do you know?"

"Tou-san's friend moved her recently. Apparently, she has a daughter our age."

Touya sighed again; not wanting to meet another girl who squealed endlessly and blushed at everything.

"Oh come on, it might not be that bad." Yukito smiled. "This girl could be different."

"I highly doubt it." Touya muttered under his breath.

Yukito merely smiled and returned to his desk as their homeroom teacher entered the room.

"I'm starting homeroom now." He announced. Taking out the attendance book; he quickly finished up and wrote his name on the board.

"My name is Mr. Harada. Today, I'll introduce you to a new transfer student."

Murmurs of excitement grew, but he quickly silenced them with a glare.

"Come in." Mr. Harada called to the closed doors.

Quickly, the sliding doors opened and in walked a very attractive girl. She had long, raven colored hair with exotic blue eyes. Her skin was fairly tan; as if she spent a lot of time outdoors. But looks could be deceiving.

"What do you think?" he heard Yukito whisper from beside him. He didn't answer and chose to observe the newcomer instead.

The teacher turned back from writing her name. "This is Higurashi Kagome. She's from Tokyo City. Everyone, be nice to her."

The teacher continued speaking. "As for her seat… the seat next to Kinomoto is empty. Kinomoto-san, please raise your hand."

There were some gasps and sighs of jealousy. Touya lifted her hand and watched her as she made her way down the aisle; recognition sparking in her eyes. As she walked past him, he was startled to see that she had gray flecks in her eyes too.

'What beautiful eyes…' Touya quickly shook off the thought and concentrated on his sixth sense. There was something strange about this girl, he just didn't know what.

Kagome set her bag down and settle in her seat. 'Kinomoto?' she thought. Wasn't that the name of her mother's friend? 'This must be Fujitaka-san's son.' The girl sighed internally. 'He seems to hate me too. What did I even do to him?' she though grumpily.

. . .

Souta shifted nervously in front of the class. The teacher, Mr. Terada, had just introduced him to the class and everyone was staring him. It was a pretty uncomfortable feeling.

"Etou," the teacher looked around for an empty seat. "There's an empty seat behind Daidouji. Daidouji-san, please raise your hand."

Tomoyo lifted her and hand watched the boy walk down the aisle. She smiled at him, and to her surprise, he grinned back at her. Dimly, she noted the dimples that adorned his cheeks. He stumbled a second later. Tomoyo smiled again when she noticed the embarrassed expression on his face.

Souta sat down in his seat and buried his face in his hands. Of course, he would meet the most beautiful girl in the world and make a total fool of himself. He wished lunch would come soon.

. . .

"Find a partner and start stretching!" the gym teacher yelled at the class.

Kagome sighed as she looked around her. Considering hat she had transferred in the last year of high school; all the friend groups had already been formed. Suddenly, a cute girl with short brown hair appeared in front of her.

"Ne, Higurashi-san, do you want to partner up?"

"Sure!" Kagome responded happily. "Just call me Kagome."

The girl smiled at her and stuck out her hand. "My name is Yoko. Pleased to meet you, Kagome-san."

Kagome shook her hand. "And you, Yoko-san."

Finishing their stretches, Kagome glanced around and saw the boys jogging around the field. The miko frowned. She could feel someone watching her. Kagome looked up and saw Touya looking in her direction with narrowed eyes. Kagome sweat dropped. 'Does he hate me that much?'

Sighing, Kagome heard the coach's whistle and quickly jogged over.

"Listen up everyone!" the gym teacher, Ms. Mizuiro, shouted. "Today everyone will be doing timed sprints. Remember, this is going towards your grades so try your best!"

As Kagome waited for her turn, she wondered if she should really sprint her hardest. After all, she didn't spend all that time in the Feudal Era and not improve her running skills. Finally, it was her turn.

"Higurashi!" the teacher called.

Kagome passed Yoko as she walked to the starting point. "Good luck!" she said.

'I may have just found a new friend!' Kagome thought cheerfully.

The whistle blew. Touya and Yukito watched on the sidelines as a huge cloud of dust blew in their faces. Yukito let out a cough and looked up.

"Wow! She's pretty fast!"

Touya glanced up at the teacher; who was staring wide-eyes at the girl.

"F-four seconds!" Ms. Mizuiro stuttered. Recovering from her shock, she grabbed Kagome's hands. "Please join the track team!"

"I'll think about it." Kagome promised; backing away sheepishly.

The teacher sighed. "Very well then. Class dismissed!"

It was now lunchtime. Touya and Yukito were on their way to the elementary school for lunch when Yukito spotted Kagome wandering around.

"Higurashi-san!" he called. The girl turned and wa;led over.

"Oi! What are you doing?" Touya whispered.

"What is it?" She asked.

"We were wondering if you would like to eat lunch with us." Yukito asked.

Kagome brightened. "Sure!"

The trio walked over to the fence and paused. "Do you need help—" Touya started; and then looked around. "Where'd she go?"

Kagome grinned and waved at them from the other side. "Are you coming?"

Once the other two climber over, they resumed walking.

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked. "Isn't this the elementary school?"

"Hai. We're eating with Touya's sister and her friends."

Soon, they came upon a small group of people. Kagome blinked in surprise. Was that her brother she saw? That was when a cute girl with small pigtails noticed her. Kagome put her finger to her lips and tiptoed behind Souta; quickly grabbing him in a headlock.

"Hey squirt! I didn't think I'd see you here!" she exclaimed.

"I'm not a squirt!" he yelled; breaking out of her hold.

Touya and Yukito appeared a second later; exchanging glances.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked the girl.

"Higurashi Kagome." She answered. "But just call me Kagome."

"I'm Kinomoto Sakura." The girl said. "This is Daidouji Tomoyo and Li Syaoran."

At the mention of Tomoyo, Kagome saw her brother blush slightly and look at the ground. She grinned evilly. She couldn't wait to get home and tease him about it! Settling down, Kagome glanced at Yukito, Sakura, and Syaoran suspiciously. Her miko senses were tingling, but not in a bad way, so she assumed that they had magical powers of some sort.

Kagome munched on some pickled lettuce; wondering if she should tell them she knew. Hearing footsteps, Kagome glanced up again and met a familiar pair of golden eyes.

"Sesshoumaru?" she exclaimed.
