Chapter 3: Graduation

Nearly 200 years has passed since then and a wise man once said that time heals all wounds. True enough, the scarred land that once held a fierce fight between two youkai clans has now been rebuilt into a bustling city filled with people.

"BEEP BEEP!!" the alarm on an alarm clock starting beeping as the time struck 7.30am. A young girl grumbled in her sleep hearing the sound of the alarm. "BEEP BEEP!!" came the ringing again but this time even louder that before. Grumbling again, the young girl stuffs her head under her pillow grumbling words that a normal teenage girl of 18 shouldn't be saying. "BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!" the ringing now was so loud that even with her head buried under the pillow it could still be heard as if it was just beside her. Taking no more of this, the girl stood from her sleeping position, jumped at the clock but instead of turning it off, she just threw it with all her might to the corner of the wall shattering the all but innocent alarm clock. The girl now panting allowed an evil yet satisfied smirk to be plastered on her face as if she had just won a war and as she was about to go back to sleep her room door opened to reveal a young woman at her 40's.

"Kagome dear, if you keep this up I think our family will go broke just trying to buy you alarm clocks. This is the 10th one you broke this whole week alone," the woman spoke.

"I'm sorry mom, its just that I haven't had enough sleep this whole week with all the. . ."

"The school parties, early graduation parties, that has been going on right?" Kagome's mother cut her off. Kagome let out a weak laugh.

"Now Kagome, I know that you're happy that you're finally graduating but if you don't get dressed and ready for the graduation ceremony, I don't think you'll be graduating this year," her mother said looking down at her wristwatch.

Kagome let out a sigh, "Yea, I guess so. . ." With that Kagome entered her bathroom taking off her pajamas before stepping into the shower. She turned on the water making sure that it wasn't too hot or too cold. After 10 minutes, Kagome stepped out of the shower still drying herself with a towel. After she was dry, she wrapped the towel around her chest(above her breast) making sure that it covered all of her private areas. She sat down on the dressing table and started to dry her hair with a hair dryer. After that, she dressed herself with her school uniform. Then, once again, Kagome sat down in front of her dressing table and combed her waist long hair to perfection. Since it was her last day of school she wanted to look her best too.

"Kagome, hurry up or your gonna be late," her mother shouted at her.

"Hai. . ." Kagome shouted back. Putting back her comb, Kagome grabbed her bag and rushed downstairs. "Sorry to keep you waiting" she said while giving her mother a kiss on the cheek. "Well, I'll be going. Oh, and mama, today I will be coming back late, my friends and I are going to karaoke so don't bother with my dinner."

"Okay dear, but remember to be careful," her mother told Kagome. "Hai," Kagome replied.

Running down the endless stairs of the Higurashi shrine, she saw her friends, Yuka and Eri waiting for her in a car. She waved at them as they waved back.

"Sorry I'm late girls," Kagome told her friends as she threw her back at the back seat and taking her seat in front.

"That's okay, we thought you would be late so we came out later a bit," Yuka replied.

"So, ready to say goodbye to our high school life?"

"Hell yea!!" shouted both Kagome and Eri as they sped off heading to their school. And when they speed they really knew speed, breaking nearly all the law of the road as if it hadn't existed. Even when they were stopped by the traffic police that were doing they patrols, their driver, Yuka, as always, had managed to 'convince' the poor fella that they were just 'having fun'. And as always no guy can say no to a beautiful woman pleading to them. Within a matter of minutes, the three girls arrived at the school that they had met, became best friends and the school they won't be seeing anymore.

"Hey. . . Kagome, Yuka, Eri!!" shouted a girl who was running towards them.

"Hey Ayumi," replied the three girls in unison.

"Did you hear that Sayuri's got a new boyfriend?" Ayumi asked.

"Really? My God, she just broke up with Ryoga a week ago," Eri replied shocked at the news.

"That bitch, she knew Eri had the hots for him and went and steal Ryoga from her," Yuka shouted in an angry sort of way.

As the four girls turned of the car engine, they walked with a slow pace heading towards the school hall for their graduation ceremony. When they entered the hall, the four girls stood paralyzed with amazement with the way the hall was decorated. Soon after, the hall was being flooded with many of the schools seniors that were graduating followed by their parents and family. When everything was settled, everybody in the hall took their seat and waited for their principle to give his speech. On queue, a short man around the age of 50 stood up from his seat and walked to the center of the stage where the microphone was.

"Well. . ." he said his voice echoing throughout the room. "Well. . . another year, ended, just like that, a blink of an eye. First of all I would like to wish our school seniors who would be graduating today. Though it saddens me that they will not be able to be in this school anymore, I am happy that they have matured and grown into well-refined people throughout their days spent in our school. And lastly, I would like to remind all of you what our school motto is. . ."

"LOOK FORWARD FOR THE FUTURE!!!!" the students shouted full of pride.

"Good. . . good. . . I'm glad you still remember. Now I would like to ask our head boy and girl to make their way to the stage to give their speech,' finishing that sentence, a boy and a girl stepped up onto the stage, shook hands with the principle and started their speech. After what seemed like an eternity, the pair on stage shouted "HAPPY GRADUATION!!!" As if on queue, the seniors all shouted and cheered. Some girls crying some laughing but all the guys, well, they were just, guys.

Kagome and her friends had tears flowing down their cheeks. Though they were happy to be graduating, they were sad that they wont be able to see most of their friends anymore. They went around hugging all of their good friends. Hell they even hugged people they DIDN'T know.

"I still cant believe we spent 9 years in this school. It seemed so fast," Kagome said wiping the tears that were flowing down her cheeks.

"Yea. . . So who's ready to hit the club?" Yuka said cheerfully but there was sadness in her voice that she tried to hide.

"My God Yuka, aren't you at least sad that we wont be seeing most of our friends anymore after today?" Eri said.

"Well of course I am. But that's no reason to cancel right?" I mean, man, you guys, I. . ." Yuka started to breakdown after she thought that her friends thought she didn't care.

"Oh God, I'm sorry Yuka. I didn't mean it that way. You know how I act right? I say things without even thinking. I am so sorry," Eri said pleadingly to her friend. She had honestly no idea that she could hurt her friend's feelings. And among them, friendship is very important.

"You know, Yuka's right. . . A thing like this shouldn't keep us down in the dumps. I mean, we still got each other right?" Kagome said trying to lighten the mood. "So, who's ready to sing?"

All four of them said "Yea!!" as they hauled Kagome into the car and drove off like wild devils. What is strange though, at each traffic light, neighboring cars would just hang their mouths open and stare at their car. Guys especially. However, Kagome and her friends truth to say quite enjoyed the attention they were getting. By 5pm, they at the karaoke lounge called Club Mad House.

"Wow Yuka, you managed to book this place, I mean, wow, this is the club of clubs," Ayumi said amazed that her friend was able to reserve a room in one of the most luxurious clubs.

"I know some people here. My boyfriend brings me here quite often," Yuka replied to her friend eyes gleaming brightly.

"Well then, what are we waiting for, lets go in and have fun!!!" yelled Kagome as she and her friends entered the club and got one room to themselves. Inside the room, Kagome and her few friends were singing to their hearts content. They sang and sang without even noticing a thing called time.
