Chapter 4: The other Heirs

A couple hours passed by, and everyone one had fallen asleep except me. I looked out the window replaying the events from this evening in my head over and over.

"Kagome-sama?" I snapped out of my trance and looked over at the pilot.

"Hai?"

"We'll be arriving at the Sakurai Boarding school soon. Tadima-dono instructed me to tell you to open the envelope you received." I nodded. I took the envelope out of my pocket and opened it. Inside was a letter and the list of the remaining heirs.

My Dear Kagome,

Here is the list of the remaining heirs. Once at the school it is your duty to make sure that all heirs are there.

-Shinosuke Tadima

Kagome slowly read the list to herself.

Takahashi Sesshomaru

Takahashi Inuyasha

Tanaka Sango

Tanaka Kohaku

Oshiro Ayame

Inoue Kouga

Sugiyama Rin

Yamazaki Miroku

Arai Shippou

Kato Bankotsu

"Bankotsu's still apart of the Elite?" I looked at Kikyo, who was wide awake, with a questioning look. I folded the paper and put it back in the envelope.

"The Kato family disinherited almost all their sons. I guess Bankotsu was lucky being the youngest. Though I'm not surprised you didn't know, Kagome. Tadima-dono made sure no one but the adults knew. I just happened to overhear the conversation between Tadima-dono and father." I frowned knowing that her happening to overhear the conversation wasn't a coincidence.

I looked out the helicopter's window. I could see the school in the distance.

"You do realize that we have to find out who doing this right?" Kikyo looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Tadima-dono told us to stay in hiding and not to do anything." I looked at her with disbelief.

"So you're going to sit around doing nothing while someone is going around killing the reminder of the Elite. Do you realize how many people have already died? We're all that's left of the Elite, Kikyo. Yes, we're in danger but we can't just sit around doing nothing waiting to be killed!" We glared at each other for several moments.

"Big sister?" We turned to look at Kaede. Kikyo looked at me one last time and got up to go comfort Kaede.

The pilot turned around and said, "Kagome-sama, we have arrived." I nodded and shook Souta awake. The helicopter slowly lowered on the roof. As we got off a man walked towards us. He had a bald head and tufts of hair sticking out the sides of his head.

"Hello. My name is Myoga- sensei. Please follow me to my office. The rest of the heirs are waiting." He motioned for us to follow him.

We walked down a flight of stairs and into a corridor. We walked down the corridor and stopped in front of a door. He opened the door into a room that reminded me of my father's study. All the heirs in the room stood up as we walked in.

"Please sit." Said Myoga-sensei. We all sat down and Myoga-sensei sat down at his desk. He looked at us with tired eyes.

"As you all are aware, the Elite is in danger. You will be kept in hiding until this ordeal is over. You will live in a special dorm where only the heirs and staff members are allowed. The dorm has a common room and two staircases. One for the girls and one for the boys. You will attend school like the rest of the students here. And yes good grades are expected from you." He looked over at some of the guys. "Now, since this is the first time in five years that you've all been together, I believe introductions are in order. We'll start with you." He pointed at a girl with brown eyes and hair. She had her hair up in a high ponytail.

She stood up and looked at everyone before starting. "My name is Tanaka Sango. Age 16. The oldest heir to the Tanaka Import/Export Corporation. First survivor to the Tanaka fortune. She sat down and the boy next to her stood up. He looked similar to her, except for his freckles. He had his long hair in a ponytail.

"Tanaka Kohaku. Age 14. Youngest heir to the Tanaka Import/ Export Corporation. Second survivor to the Tanaka fortune." He sat down and nudged the girl next to him. She stood up. She had a child-like face and black hair. "Sugiyama Rin. Age 17. The last remaining survivor of the Sugiyama Business Corp." she sat back down and started crying silently.

Next a boy with blue eyes and long black hair in a high ponytail stood up.

"Inoue Kouga. Age 16. Only heir to the Inoue Dealer Corp." He smirked at me and I felt a blush on my cheeks as I looked away. The girl next to him must have noticed his smirk for she immediately stood up. She had her red hair tied in two ponytails and she had an iris on the left ponytail.

"Oshiro Ayame. Age 16. Only daughter of Oshiro Tasuku of the International Fashion Corp." she sat down shooting me a glare. A boy with long silver hair stood up next. He had an emotionless face and a crescent moon on his forehead and 2 magenta strips on each cheek.

"Takahashi Sesshomaru. First son of Takahashi Inutashio International Law Corp. Age 17." He sat down and growled at the guy next to him. The guy glared at him and stood up. He had long silver hair and two dog ears on top of his head.

"Takahashi Inuyasha. Second and last son on Takahashi Inutashio. Age 16." He looked at me before sitting down. A boy with a long thick braid and a magenta diamond in the middle of his forehead stood up.

"Kato Bankotsu seventh son of Kato Hikari. Age heir of Kato International Merchandise Corp." he sat down and looked down at the floor. Next was a boy with violet eyes and black hair tied at the nape of his neck.

"Yamazaki Miroku. Only son of Yamazaki Aki. Sole heir of Kato International Steel Corp. Age 16." I noticed him glance a Sango before sitting down.

Kikyo stood up shooting me a smirk.

"Sesuki Kikyo. Age 16. First born daughter of Higurashi Kosuke of the Higurashi International Corp." She loved the fact of being the first-born. Kaede stood up next.

"My name is Sesuki Kaede. I'm nine years old. I'm Sesuki Sakuya's youngest daughter." Finally it was my turn. I stood up and took a deep breathe.

"Higurashi Kagome. Age 16. Second daughter of Higurashi Kosuke. First born granddaughter of Tadima Shinosuke. Leader of the Elite. My full name is Higurashi Tadima Kagome." Everyone's eyes grew big when I mentioned the Tadima name. I could feel Kikyo's glare from behind me. Souta was last to introduce himself.

"Higurashi Tadima Souta. Age 14. First born son to Higurashi Kosuke. First grandson to Tadima Shinosuke. When he was done I looked around the room and notice how quiet it was. Myoga-sensei cleared his throat.

"Now that we are done with the introductions I will assign you your alias last names." Souta raised his hand. "Yes, Souta?"

"Won't people recognized us by our first names?"

Myoga smiled and shook his head. "Your first names are different. Whenever information about the Elite reaches the outside world alias names are used. The reason for this I don't know. The only people who know the Elite heirs real names are those within the Elite." Everyone nodded and waited as he told each of us our alias last names.

"Higurashi will be Hirashi. Sesuki will be Sasaki. Takahashi will be Tashi. Tanaka will be Taneda. Oshiro will be Ishikawa. Inoue will be Matsumoto. Sugiyama will be Shimada. Yamazaki will be Kobayashi. And Kato will be Aomori."

When he finished I noticed that Arai Shippou was not there. "Where is Arai Shippou?" I asked. Myoga-sensei looked at me with sad eyes.

"Arai Shippou will arrive within the next couple of days and I ask that you all treat him like family. His family was attacked while over seas and he is the only survivor of his family. Now if you will follow me I will lead you to your dorm." He stood up and walked out the door we followed him down the hall.

"The school doesn't open until later this month I suggest you take the time to explore the school and do some studying because you will be attending the classes. You will all have the same classes with the exception of Kohaku and Souta who will be with the freshman class. And Sesshomaru and Rin who will be with the senior class." We climbed the stairs and turn into another hall.

"This school is miles from the nearest city, so you will be safe here."

"Aren't you also part of the Elite? You're also in danger of being attacked." Asked Sango.

"Yes, but I'm not a direct member. My daughter and her husband were part of the Elite. Unfortunately they were one of the first who were attacked and killed." Sango's eyes grew wide. "I'm sorry." Myoga waved it off. "It's alright my daughter and I weren't on the best terms either way."

We stopped in front of the door and Myoga opened it. Inside was a medium sized living room with a fireplace. Above the fireplace was a large LED flat-screen T.V. (my dad says LED are the best.) There was a sofa and a loveseat and several armchairs by the fireplace. Myoga pointed at a small stair case near the back. "That is the way to the girls' room. And the door on the left is the door to the boys' room. Tomorrow at noon you are all to meet in the great hall for lunch. Understood?" We all nodded in response as he left the room. Sango looked at me and bowed. "Please thank your grandfather for me, Kagome-san. If it wasn't for him Kohaku and I would be dead." I smiled at her

"Please call me Kagome and I wish I could. He was killed several hours ago. I'm sorry." I hung my head down and stared at the ground trying to hold in my tears. I heard Sango gasp.

"I'm sorry."

"We should go to sleep. We've all had a hard day." I heard Kikyo say. When I heard everybody leave I went over to the sofa and sat down. I stared at the fire while the day's events replayed in my head. I played with the necklace that grandfather gave. I felt something on the back. I turned it around and saw five Chinese letters engraved on the back. Four small ones around a bigger symbol

"Courage." I jumped up and turned around. It was Inuyasha.

"Umm…hi Inuyasha." I said. He jumped over and sat down next to me. He took the necklace in his hand and pointed at one of the symbols.

"This means Courage. Then Hope." He went clockwise pointing at each symbol as he told me the meaning. "Faith, friendship, and the big one is love. A person with a good and kind heart and soul must possess all five of these."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry about your father and grandfather. Tadima-dono was a really cool guy."

"You knew him?"I asked still looking at the back of the necklace.

"Yea. My dad was in his inner circle. But I knew him well enough to know that he would never want his grand-daughter sad." I looked at him. He stared at the fire. "Tadima-dono used to have pictures of you in his office. He said your smile was your best feature he hated to see you sad." He looked at me and smiled. "I'm not really much of a pep talk type of guy but I knew Tadima and he'd kill me if I didn't least try to cheer you up. He knew he was going to die but he doesn't want you grieving over it forever. His only regret is not seeing who marries his violent grand-daughter." I smiled and playfully socked him.

"I'm not violent!" as I socked him again. He laughed.

"Then what do you call what you're doing right now?"

I smiled and stood up. "Play fighting."

"Either way you're still fighting. Therefore Tadima was right, you are violent." I stuck my tongue out at him. I walked to the staircase that lead to the girls' room.

"Well, we better get to bed. I'm pretty sure we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." He nodded. I climbed up and was about to enter the room when I remembered something. I went back down and saw Inuyasha about to enter the guys' room.

"Hey, Inuyasha? Thank you for cheering me up." He smiled at me and for the first time since I met him,I noticed how cute he was. I felt my face grow hot and I rushed up the stairs and entered the room. I don't remember what happened next or how I found my way to my bed but the last thing I do remember before falling asleep was Inuyasha smile…
