Chapter 4 (Sister My Sister)
Sango sighed as she only half listened to her teacher, the rest of her thinking back to the happenings of earlier. She had immediately felt drawn to the mute look-alike of her best friend, yet, she wasn't sure why. She looked like Kikyou, yes, but acted nothing like her. Sango looked to Kikyou, the girl was giggling at something InuYasha said; Sango frowned.
'They could at least try to pay attention in class.'
-x-x-x-
Hiei watched her sleep from the dark corner of the room. A nurse came in every few minutes to check on Kagome, only glancing towards him to make sure he wasn't doing anything he wasn't supposed to. Hiei snorted at the thought.
'Like she could stop me if I was,'
He watched as Kagome's hand twitched and pushed himself off the wall.
'Are you up?'
'Yes, Hiei...why did you stay with me?'
He looked at her, her eyes opened to reveal confused azure orbs.
'Hn,'
'Is that your answer to everything?'
He looked away from her and left the room, informing the nurse that she had awoken.
The nurse came in as Kagome was sitting up, "Ah, how are you fairing?"
'Fine, I just need to get out of the dark.'
"Oh?"
'Mm, I don't like the dark.' The nurse smiled and dimmed the lights, brightening the room up a bit more than it had been.
"Your name is Kagome Higurashi, right?"
'Yes, I─ AH! You can hear me!'
"Hm? Yes I can. I am a telepathic; in fact, I believe...yes...all of the teachers here have the ability."
'So...there will be no problem? With me not speaking?'
"Hm, you can speak Kagome...you just...need a reason to."
Kagome looked down at her hands.
"Hn, Kagome, let's go."
Kagome looked up and nodded; a small smile on her lips.
She stood from the bed and made her way towards him, bowing to the nurse before leaving with her stuff.
'Kagome...don't hide your voice...'
Kagome paused in the hallway and glance back at the nurses' room before continuing next to Hiei.
Hiei opened a mind link to Kurama who tried to push him out only for Hiei to send him a mental kick.
(Kagome, Hiei, Kurama)
'Yes Hiei?'
'Which way to the class,'
'You just left the nurse?'
'Obviously fox,'
'Oh, how could I be so stupid, I'm all knowing, Hiei. Go straight past the first set of stairs and up the second set, then turn left and we are two rooms on the right.'
'Right,'
'How is Kagome?'
Kagome glanced at Hiei from the corner of her eyes.
'I am fine, thank you Kurama.'
'Ah―'
-x-x-x-
Sango turned and faced the red head that just dropped his pencil, the class faced him and he concealed his embarrassment by picking his pencil up and continuing the assignment.
-x-x-x-
'...so this is the stunning voice you are fortunate enough to hear; a pleasure...Kagome.'
'Are you always so refined...even through mental conversation?'
'I am as often as necessary.'
Kurama looked to the door when it opened and watched as Kagome and Hiei walked in. Kagome bowed politely to the teacher, who glanced at Hiei, looking for the same show of respect. She didn't get it.
"You must be Higurashi, and you're Jiganishi. I am your homeroom professor, Mrs. Kaze; take your seats. Jiganishi, by Minamino and Higurashi...please take a seat by Kimizawa. Kimizawa, raise your hand."
Kagome looked around and her eyes widened, her heart sped up and Hiei looked to the teacher, sending her a mental threat which she took serious.
"Never mind, Higurashi, sit by Minamino, and J-Jiganishi please take your seat by Kimizawa." Kagome sat next to Kurama who nodded to her. She gave a side glance at Kikyou who was staring at her, smirking...at her.
Sango looked at Kikyou and frowned, 'Why is she so pleased? That look, those eyes, is this...really Kikyou...?'
-x-x-x-
'That's right Kagome, big sister goes to the same school,' Kikyou turned and caught Sango looking at her, faking a smile she turned back to InuYasha. "Inu..." She whispered, "It's her, she's here..."
"Eh, that wimpy girl?" His gold eyes scanned the girl; she was just sitting and staring at the paper in front of her.
"Don't let her looks fool you, she's evil! She framed daddy, and hurt mother! She even took my baby brother away from me with her lies! Her tongue is like a viper's! Please...don't leave me too! Promise me; promise you will always stay with me, no matter what she says!"
"Keh, of course!"
"Eh hem! If you two are quite done; Kimizawa, remove yourself from Young Taisho's lap."
"It's just Taisho, lady!"
Kikyou stood up and gracefully moved to her seat, apologizing kindly to the teacher who waved it off.
"Now, let's continue."
Kikyou once more locked eyes with Kagome, only this time, both glared fiercely, one with pure hatred and malice, and the other...shame, distrust and embarrassment.
Their looks didn't go unnoticed by Sango, Kurama or Hiei...
-x-x-x-
Kagome sighed silently, walking out of class with her messenger bag. She looked at her schedule and jumped when a finger tapped her gently on the shoulder. She turned and saw the girl from earlier.
"Hey, I'm Sango; sorry if what I said earlier upset you. It wasn't my intention."
'Hiei...could you please―'
"What do you want girl, haven't you done enough?"
They turned to see Hiei staring at the two. Kagome shook her head negatively.
"Hn?"
'Tell her, that it's okay. It wasn't her fault.'
"You're kidding...humph. She says that it's okay and it wasn't your fault."
"Ah, is she―" Kagome nodded, not caring to hear any more. "I see, well, can I show you to the rest of your classes?"
"..." Hiei listened to her before responding for Kagome. "She said yes, thank you."
"Ano...are you her translator?"
"..." He glared at her and she turned away with a chuckle.
"N-never mind, come on Kagome!" Sango said with a smile, taking her hand and pulling her away from him and taking off down the hall as fast as she could. He raised a brow at that, waiting until he knew they were far away enough before running after their scent.
-x-x-x-
"We lost him!"
Kagome looked behind her then back at Sango only to jump in surprise. Sango turned to see what surprised her and let out a small squeal.
Hiei was leaning against the wall, a smirk clearly visible on his face.
"Don't try to outrun me girl, it's pointless."
"You seem so sure, is that just your ego talking?"
"Not my ego, it's a fact."
'You seem to be in a talkative mood...'
"Ah..." His eyes widened and he looked away.
Kagome smiled.
"Uh...right. This is the next class. I want you to meet someone. Uh, if it helps...Kikyou isn't in this class." Kagome visibly relaxed. "I don't know the story behind you two...but...that look she gave you...I've never seen it on her before, so please, be careful."
Kagome was a bit surprised; she smiled and took her and Hiei's hand.
"She says 'she's happy that she met someone so kind; she hopes you will be her friend.' Hn,"
"I'd like that." Sango smiled, then pulling her into the classroom she spotted the very person she was looking for. "Miroku!" She called out happily; Hiei mentally rolled his eyes as he was once again pulled somewhere else.
'Sorry Hiei, just hold out a little while longer. This will be a little less than four minutes. Class starts after that.'
"Hm..."
"Miroku," Sango said again, catching the frowning boys attention, he was talking to another boy with long black hair in a high pony tail and blue eyes. They both turned to Kagome and one immediately took her hand.
"My lady, you're gorgeous!"
Hiei glared at him, "..."
'Uh...'
"Kouga! Release her!"
"Are you kidding! Starting today, this beautiful girl...is my girlfriend."
Kagome looked taken aback, Hiei knocked Kouga's hands from Kagome's, and pulling her back to him he glared at Kouga.
"Huh? Aw, who's you're short friend? Is this your baby brother?"
Kagome closed her eyes.
Before anyone could even make a comeback or respond, Kouga was held to the wall with a blade to his neck. Miroku and Sango looked completely shocked, Kagome sighed.
'Hiei...he didn't mean anything by it. Besides, do you really want to waste your time on him?'
Hiei dropped Kouga and watched him fall to his knees, he leaned forward and stabbed his blade into the wall next to the boys head, "Touch her...the way you did...ever again...and I will end your existence where you stand..." His eyes were cold. Before they could blink he stood next to Kagome again, putting his blade back in its sheath.
"Serves you right Kouga, anyways, Miroku...hopefully you learned from Kouga's mistake, this is Kagome Higurashi, and Hiei Jiganishi. My newest friends...well, Kagome is...I'm...not too sure if Hiei is." Miroku's eyes darkened and he pulled Sango to the side, smiling to Hiei and Kagome as he did so.
"Sango, stay away from them, especially Kagome. Don't listen to anything she says. Kikyou, she was crying because she found out about her step sister coming. Her step sister, she said she is a liar and that she put her father in Jail when he did nothing. She hurt her mother too."
"..." Hiei listened and hardened his eyes.
"First off, I don't think...we should listen to Kikyou...she's...she's not acting normal."
"What? How can you say that?"
"She hasn't been telling you the truth."
"Is that what her sister told you? Kikyou said she lies."
"..."
Sango took Miroku's hand and brought him to Kagome.
"Kagome, this is Miroku, my boyfriend."
Kagome smiled and bowed politely.
"She says, 'it's nice to meet you Miroku.'" Hiei said, watching Miroku's reaction.
"Oh, uh..."
"Words are lies huh...?" Sango asked in a whisper.
"I-It's a pleasure to meet you, as well...my fair maiden." He smiled, taking her hand and placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles.
'He's kind, Sango's lucky to have such a well mannered boyfriend.'
"Want me to relay that message too?"
Kagome smiled, 'Hiei...I believe were out of time,'
-BING-BING-BING-
"Hn,"
Kagome laughed silently; Miroku and Kouga both stared in a stunned silent, both silently disappointed at the fact that they couldn't hear her.
"Alright guy's, sit!" Kagome turned and looked up to see...
'Mrs. Kaze?'
"Oh, Kagome, Mrs. Kaze is our Science teacher after Homeroom. Homeroom is the only class in the classroom we were previously in."
"I said sit!"
"We were explaining the schedule to our new classmate." Miroku said.
"...Miroku, sit down in your seat, you can explain after class. It's lunch period after this period anyways, not much to explain there."
"Yes mommy dearest,"
"...class, pop quiz!"
"MIROKU!"
-Thump- -Bonk- -Bang-
"Alright, alright! I got it! That hurts you know!" Miroku rubbed his throbbing head. Sango, Kouga and a girl with long black hair had delivered their feelings about the surprise quiz through physical blows to the head.
"Alright, that's enough. Kaguya, Sango and Kouga...please beat my son up after class is over. Now, today we are discussing genealogy―"
-x-x-x-
'So she's mute...how would she possibly be able to lie to us, if she can't speak to us? Or is it possible that her not being able to speak...is a lie... Is Kikyou lying, is Kagome the one who speaks the truth...well...not speaks but...' Miroku glanced at Kagome. 'I suppose only time will tell. Until then...I will keep my eyes on both girls, my loyalties lie with Sango.'
