Stay Alive
Chapter 2
Day One
"So, I've shown you the lower and upper school floors, the library, lunchroom and theater. The art room and music room, and then outside...will wait till tomorrow, since it's horrible out today. Do you want to go to the office and get your schedule? Then maybe I can show you to your classes?"
"Mikoto!"
Kagome jumped at the annoyed voice from behind her and the pinkette. The two turned to see the blunette and blonde from earlier...still wearing maid dresses."
"Tooru, you seem mad."
"Mad!? Why aren't you dressed yet? We were waiting on you!"
"Sorry, he has been showing me around campus. I believe, Arisada-San said he was free of his...princess...duties for the day."
"...you...who are you?" Tooru asked.
"My name..." She closed her eyes and withheld a sigh.
"This is Gome-San,"
"Gome Higura. I was just enrolled today."
"I see, do you know what classes you will be taking?"
"Not as of yet, we were just on our way. Oh, may I inquire as to what your names are?" She had managed to keep her voice lower than normal, but still, it held femininity that made the boys think twice about her sex. The fact that it was an all boy school she was enrolled into, made them confident that she...was indeed...a he, despite the she was in fact...still a she.
"Forgive me, my name is Shihoudani Yuujiro, but please, call me Yuujiro."
"I am Kouno Tooru, just call me Tooru."
"You heard my last name, but I am Yutaka Mikoto, Mikoto if you will."
"Call me Gome, all of you. It's nice to meet you all." Kagome smiled, 'So far, so good.'
"Well, seeing as how we were heading in that direction, why don't we accompany you and Miki-Chan to the office for your schedule?"
"DON'T CALL ME MIKI-CHAN!"
"Sorry, Miki-Kun."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT EITHER! Come on Gome." He took her wrist in his hand and pulled her off towards the office. The other two followed after them, keeping close to them.
"So Gome, how old are you?"
"S-sixteen."
"Ah, a year younger than us."
'Eh...hehe, actually, we're the...same age.' She mentally cried as she smiled and nodded. "So you are all seventeen."
"Yep, you should still be in a couple of our classes though. Not all of them, but a few."
"Why not all of them?"
"Well, some classes are advanced, mostly for eighteen and up, so the chances of you getting in at seventeen is slim, much less sixteen. No offense, those classes are just, mostly designed by age."
"No offense taken. I am well aware of my intellect. You needn't worry over what I can, and what I cannot get into."
Mikoto looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Now that he knew she was a girl...she just looked like a girl in the boys uniform, instead of a feminine boy like the three of them looked.
"Yes, of course. We are at the office now, I am curious to see which classes you are in." Yuujiro made to open the door when it opened and Sesshoumaru walked out, holding a piece of paper in front of her.
"...well..." She looked at him in frustration. 'I need to torment this guy...shave his head and paint it white before spraying Cool whip on it...heh, heh, heh.'She took the schedule from him a smiled charmingly. "Guy's, this is my...adoring uncle, who enrolled me here."
Arisada chuckled behind his fingers that were held softly against his lips.
"Yes, your adoring uncle decided to match your schedule with Yutaka-San's. You will keep close to him; under no condition are you to leave this school without him, Arisada-San, Miroku or Kouga. Am I understood?"
"I suddenly feel like I'm on lockdown."
"You pretty much are."
"...Do you practice being a slave driver in the mirror every morning, or does that come naturally?"
"Comes naturally, now..." He turned to Mikoto and his gaze hardened exceptionally. "Do you understand, Yutaka-San? Or shall I elaborate?"
"...elaborate?" He took a step back when Sesshoumaru suddenly leaned forward so that his lips were next to Mikoto's ear, but out of view so that they couldn't read them. He whispered to the point that he had to struggle to hear.
"If I find, that something happens...to Gome, I will make sure no one finds your slaughtered remains. "Sesshoumaru stood straight up again and smirked coldly at the now deathly pale pinkette. "Do you understand now?"
"Mmhm,"
"Good, I'm going now, take care Gome, call if something happens." With that said, he left with the umbrella open in the rain.
"M-Mikoto, are you okay?!" Kagome caught him as he swayed into her, the other two stepping close to their friend.
"You uncle seems a little..." Yuujiro stopped, not willing to finish.
"Over protective? You're right, he is." She steadied Mikoto and sighed.
"Well then, classes have started, you boys should get going, take care of our lovely new princess, alright." Arisada left back into the office and the two stared at Kagome as she tried to snap Mikoto out of his shock.
"Mikoto, why don't you show me to the...P-Rooms, so that I can get you in bed resting. You don't look so well."
"No, no, no...I have to stay by your side. He'll kill me if I let you out of my sight. Come, I'll show you to our first class, come." He once more took her wrist and pulled her gently past the two confused boys, who once more, followed their pink haired friend.
"First class with me is Advanced Biology." He looked to his left and saw a smile on her appear on her lips.
"Sound like fun."
The four made their way into the class and Mikoto walked up to the teacher with Kagome following behind.
Everyone turned to look at her, awe was sketched into their eyes and for a moment, shivers ran up, down and back up her spine.
'In the words of lovely Miranda; Oh wonder, how many goodly creatures are there here, how beauteous mankind is; oh Brave New World that has such people in it... Wouldn't mother be proud, I'm quoting Shakespeare...'
"Gome!"
Kagome snapped her head to Mikoto who had been calling her for a while. "Sorry, yes?"
"This is Professor Gin. He is our Advanced Biology and homeroom teacher."
"It's nice to meet you Gome Higura, please, come to the front and tell the class a little bit about yourself."
"...Mmm," Kagome stepped up before the class. 'What does Souta like; I can't say something that they'll try to get me to do later. I suppose I can keep some of my past times, just...nothing too girly...wait...did I even do anything girly?'"My name is Gome Higura, age sixteen. My family is currently in the states on vacation and so, I'm staying with my uncle for the time being, well, I was. I enjoy cooking and soccer. I also like playing the violin, but sadly...I don't have one here with me. Anyways, please take care of me." She bowed respectfully, her hair falling into her eyes and over her shoulders with that movement.
The class was silent for a moment and she stood straight and looked around at everyone, thinking she had said something wrong. The guys were blushing madly and Mikoto was rubbing the bridge of his nose in a way to stop an oncoming headache. The guys suddenly burst into applause, and the teacher pointed her to a chair.
"Hm, Mr. Nagawa isn't here today, but he will be your partner when we have class projects."
"Yes sir," She took her seat next to the other empty seat.
'For some reason, I feel like this experience...is more trouble than taking on Hiyotaka Mada.' She thought to herself, a sweat drop on the back of her head forming at the notion.
"Now, turn to chapter three in your advanced bio books."
Kagome pulled the book from inside her desk and turned to the chapter.
"Now, Organisms (and the chemical reactions that occur within them) are sensitive to changes in pH. Explain what pH is and the scale that is used to measure it. And, have some examples of how pH. affects organisms."
Kagome pulled out a notebook and started writing. The class stared at her, aside from the three who had already met her.
'This is going to be a long day...'
-x-x-x-
Four hours, five classes and eight ambushes later, Kagome sat in a tree avoiding confrontation with anymore boys.
'It's HORRIBLE here!'
"Gome...you got to come down."
"Humph!" She turned away from Mikoto who sighed and started climbing the tree; once next to her, he grabbed her by the waist and jumped. "AH!" He held her so that she didn't hit the ground, and then placed her on the grass. Her eyes were wide; she stared at him like he had lost his mind before standing and walking towards the gates.
The second she stepped up to the gate, Miroku blocked her with a grin on his face.
"Miroku, if you don't get out of my way, I am going to shove..." She pointed at Mikoto who stopped next to her. "His foot, up your ass, move!"
"No can do, little miss. Turn around and go to your dorm room if you're tired of classes already. Tomorrow will be more stressful, so you'll need sleep."
"Kouga! Please let me go home!"
Kouga turned to her from his side of the gate and walked up to her, unbuttoning the first three buttons to her top, he moved the black fabric of her shoulder so that white bandage could be seen.
"What are you doing!?"
Mikoto watched in shock as the officer pushed into the bandage, causing her to cry out in pain, tears forming in her eyes and falling into the grass as she fell to her knees. Kouga got on one knee before her and put his hand under her chin, guiding her face so that he was staring into her pained eyes.
"If I let you go home, what will happen if you are caught by them? Will you get lucky again, escape with only a bullet wound? Maybe they won't kill you immediately; maybe you will be tortured, raped like the girl you witnessed. Do you want that? I am responsible for your safety, if I let you go...you will die!" Kagome shook violently and he helped her stand. "Now tell me, do you want to return to your home?"
"...M-Mikoto, could you take me to my room?" She said faintly, Mikoto nodded and Kouga buttoned her top back up before she was pulled away from the two officers.
"Was that really necessary?"
Kouga looked to Miroku and walked back to his side of the gate. "Will she try to leave again?"
"...well, no, but still. You could have reopened her wound."
"It'll close again."
"If you say so, I wouldn't let Sesshoumaru find out what you did though."
"He won't find out; as long as you keep your mouth shut."
-x-x-x-
Mikoto was on his bed, Kagome on hers. She fell asleep the second she laid down and now he was reading a book, waiting for the serene of sleep to creep up on him. He looked up at her and frowned. Standing up he made his way to her and removed her shoes and socks from her sleeping form before moving her legs beneath the blankets and returning to his own bed.
'I think my life just got...a lot more complicated.'
Mikoto thought to himself, finally laying back himself and letting sleep take him.
