Kagome made her way to the miko's class five minutes before class started. She looked around the room when she saw that Kikyo from InuYasha's group was sitting in the first row. She was looking straight at her. Kikyo had long bluish black hair and wore her bow slung at her back. Kikyo turned around to glare at her, "Look at this girls looks like we got a miko wanna be."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "I am a miko. Not all mikoes are human some are in fact demons or even mutants." She turned around and snapped her fingers making the room bloom with beautiful reddish orange flowers.

Kikyo narrowed her eyes, "What was that for?"

Kagome smirked, "This room lacked a little something. I just added to it."

Kikyo walked over to one of the flowers she bent down to inspect the beautiful plant. Kagome walked up behind her, "Don't touch unless you know how."

"Like I need your advice." Kikyo yelled.

"You may not need my advice but you should take this one," Kagome pointed her finger in the air to make a point. The flower Kagome made grow in the room was the fire lily a very dangerous flower unless handled properly. The flower had many healing abilities but only for those who knew how to handle the flower.

"How beautiful, I haven't seen that flower since a friend of mine used it to heal my boyfriend," a young woman walked up behind Kagome and Kikyo. Kagome turned around to see a beautiful young woman with medium short brown hair and big brown eyes. She stared at the beautiful flowers and bent down. She carefully placed her hand around one of the flowers at the base of the petals, "They are quality fire lilies."

Kagome smiled, "They are my favorite flowers. I'm Kagome and you are."

"Kayko," The girl replied.

Kagome looked the girl over and realized this girl was a powerful miko herself though she was still learning, "I see you are very powerful. Your friend taught you how to handle the fire lily I take it."

"Yup," Kayko smiled, "He loves plants of all kinds his favorite is the rose whip."

Kagome thought for a minute. Where did she hear of the rose whip? She snapped her fingers, "Your friend is Kurama of the Urameshi team. He fought in the tournament a few years back. I think he was only like 14 at the time."

Kayko nodded, "You know of him."

"Huh Huh, I was at the tournament to battle for lands that once belonged to my family. My brother fought in it as well. I will never forget such a handsome fox as Kurama." Kagome chuckled.

Kayko smiled, "Wait 'til I tell Kurama this. Did you win the tournament?"

Kagome shook her head, "I almost died but my brother won and we got back our land. The land was a shrine known as Sunset Shrine."

The teacher made her way into the room and motioned for the students to sit down, "Now, when I call your names please raise your hands. Higurashi, Kagome. Hera Kikyo, Yumaru, Kayko…."

Kagome waited patiently for the older woman known as Keade Maple to realize fire lilies were growing on the walls of her classroom. She smirked when the teacher indeed noticed the beautiful flowers, "Well it looks like we now have a healing plant growing in our room. Will ye children please tell me who made this happen?"

Kayko giggled as she raised her hands, "Maybe it was my friend that did it."

"No, no, I think it was that little creature I saw in the hallway. I seen him running around a few minutes later.'' Another girl said as she giggled.

Kikyo raised her hand, "Kagome the false miko put the flowers there." Kagome growled at Kikyo's words. She wasn't a false miko; she was a true miko. Because she was a rare breed of kitsune people didn't know she existed.

"Kagome, did ye grow the flowers on the walls." Keade looked directly at Kagome.

"I did," Kagome turned toward her favorite flowers that were now glinting in the sun.

"They are quit beautiful but you must put the room back the way it was," Keade spoke gently.

Kagome frowned she wished she could use her powers once in awhile. The spirit world always got into a tizzy whenever she or her brothers would use their powers. Kagome enjoyed protecting the humans that lived around the shrine. But the spirit world always thought they were attacking the humans rather then protecting them. Dejectedly she put her hand out and called to her seeds, they returned to her.

For the next hour Kagome sat in class listening to the teacher about the importance of protection and sealing spells. Her thoughts were fixated on the new knowledge she was receiving. Kagome knew more about healing and healing herbs then she knew about many of the spells a miko used. Her thoughts moved around and around in her mind as she took notes in the class. She was always able to think of two things at one time. Kitsunes were good that way.

"Now, your assignment is on the board. Kagome, I would like to see ye after class," Miss Maple turned her eyes from Kagome to the other students, "Class dismissed."

Sorry about the wait. I hope you like it. I had a lot going this year.
