Male: John Smith
Series: I am Number Four (Movie)
Kagome fiddled with a piece of raven black hair, moving it to and from behind her ear as she stood in the large hallways of her new school. Her other pale slim hand was clenched around the strap of her black shoulder backpack, griping it so tight it turned white.
She glanced around the various moving bodies of her fellow students and bit her lip; she wanted to call out to them, to ask someone for help. Every time she had tired she had been brushed off before she could even get a full sentence out. She shuffled her black converse on the hallway and shook her head, causing her long locks to shift.
She bet she looked ridiculous and was glad that Inu Yasha wasn't around to see her act so skittish over such a trivial thing. To think she was scared out of her wits because she had moved to the states with her father and was nervous about her first day at a new school.
She had stared down bandits, thieves, demons and more in the past yet here she was petrified at the thought of being alone in a new school. A small smile broke across her face and with a renewed confidence she made her way towards what she thought was the main office.
She blinked as she bumped into the broad back of someone and stumbled a few steps backwards. She glanced at the tan jacket of the person she had run into, "I'm so sorry!" She bowed, her Japanese nature taking over, and blinked when she heard a light male chuckle.
She glanced up and was met with lightly tanned skin, dark brown eyes, dirty blonde hair, a chiseled chin, and a boyish smile. She blushed as he winked at her, catching her staring.
"No problem, it was my fault for loitering in the doorway." He stepped aside and let her enter the office. His eyes followed her as she made her way to the desk and began talking to the sectary.
She was short, no doubt Asian, yet fit. Her long shapely legs and finely toned behind were wrapped in dark blue jeans. She wore a light black jacket over a plain white shirt and over her shoulders was a black side backpack. He blinked as the sectary gave him a knowing smirk and stepped up next to the young woman and gave her a smile. "Yo, today's my first day. Name's John Smith."
Kagome couldn't help but to giggle at his name, the Disney movie Pocahontas coming to mind, she shifted lightly as she dug in her back pack and pulled out a few papers handing them to the kindly sectary. "I'm also new; my name is Kagome, Kagome Higurashi."
The elderly woman took the papers from the nice young lady and turned to the young boy waiting for him to do the same. She smiled as he gave her as sheepish smiled and began pulling things out of his back pack.
He grumbled under is breath as he shifted around in his bag cursing his guardian for not having left them on the table, he really hoped he hadn't forgotten them at home. With a blush he looked up at the expectant woman. "I think I left them at home…" He trailed off feeling silly.
She nodded, understanding that transferring schools in the middle of the year had to be hard. "Don't worry about it I'll call your guardian after I take Ms. Higurashi's papers to the principal. Please have a seat." With that she left the office, entering a smaller one attached to the main one, leaving the two teens alone.
Kagome sighed as she took as seat in one of the chairs shifting lightly as the young man sat down next to her. She shot him a small smile. "So, your first day to?" She wanted to smack herself for the lame line. It was obviously his first day!
He nodded, "Yup, transferring form Cali, you?" He glanced at her as she shifted a piece of silken hair behind her ear.
"From Japan, I just recently moved in with my dad." She blushed as he gave a low whistle.
"That's a long move. Mind me asking why?" He wanted to punch himself, he had just done a major no, no by asking her that she had the right to ask him the same question. His guardian would beat him if he found out yet at the moment he didn't really care. He just really wanted to get to know the young woman sitting next to him.
Kagome paused for a second trying to think of a plausible reason, not trusting him enough to tell him the true reason, she doubted she would ever trust anyone enough to tell them of her journeys in the past. "I, well my mom thought it would be best for me, the Shrine held to many memoires for me…she thought it would be best if I got away for a little bit, to let old wounds heal you know?"
He nodded, yet something nagged at him. "Ex boyfriend?"
Kagome blinked at that, she mused Inu Yasha could have been considered an ex boyfriend though they hadn't officially been an item before she had been thrust back into her own time. "I guess you could call him that…" She trialed off a feeling of sadness washing over her.
She blinked when a warm slightly calloused hand reached out and grabbed her own. She turned surprised eyes and blushing cheeks to glance at the young man beside her. "J-John?"
He gave her hand a small squeeze and gave her a small smile, needing to make her sadness go away though he didn't know why. "Don't worry about it, we can make some new memories starting now." He felt so corny.
She smiled and gave his hand a small squeeze, something about her hand in his felt right even more so then the rare times Inu Yasha would hold her hand, "Okay, John."
Both teens started to chat about anything and everything, lost in their own little world. So caught up in their chatting they didn't notice the new comer to the office. He gave the two teens a knowing look before making his way into the principal's office, his wards paper work in his hands.
He felt slightly bad for the two, for the path laid out before them would be a hard one but he knew that they would be okay, after all Loric's loved for life.
