Kagome nervously stared up at the large school building and shifted slightly. What if the other students didn't accept her for looking different? Wilbur noticed her tense state and grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers together. Kagome breathed deeply before looking at her boyfriend. He sent her a reassuring look.
"You're going to be fine, Kagome. I won't let anyone hurt you." Wilbur promised. Kagome sighed before nodding, squeezing his hand softly. The two walked past the gates and towards a set of travel tubes. They went up one that said 'Reception' and collected her timetable. The receptionist handed the timetable over with a smile.
"Please, have a nice day!" The woman pushed up her glasses before going back to typing on the computer. Kagome glanced at her timetable, Wilbur looking over her shoulder.
"Hmm, you have the majority of classes with me excluding Art and History." He murmured, making Kagome look at him. She smiled softly, relief washing over her.
"Thank God." Kagome laughed, grabbing his hand once again. Wilbur tugged her along through the halls before entering the large cafeteria where many students were gathered, chatting with each other or eating something for breakfast.
"Wilbur!" A voice called out. A hand popped up from the sea of heads, waving up in the air. Wilbur smiled and pulled Kagome past the many students and stopped in front of three teens their age. Two were long, silver-haired boys with golden eyes. The slightly shorter one had a leather jacket and a white shirt along with black jeans. His eyes were narrowed distastefully at the stranger holding onto Wilbur. The other boy looked more elegant with black jeans and a white button-up shirt. The girl had long midnight black hair and brown eyes. She wore a black knee-length skirt and a white t-shirt. Kagome tilted her head slightly.
"Hey, guys." Wilbur smiled at the three. "Where's Sango, Miroku and Rin?"
"I dunno." The girl shrugged, crossing her arms and leaning against the tough-looking silver head. "Probably in the art department." Kagome glanced down at her feet, twisting them against the floor before biting her lip. "Who's she?" Kagome gasped, lifting her head quickly with her eyes wide. She looked at the three other teens nervously, biting her lip.
"This is Kagome. She's my girlfriend." Wilbur replied. Kagome looked at him with a slight blush. "Kagome, these are my friends Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Kikyo." He introduced everyone. Kikyo smiled brightly before taking a step forward. She grasped Kagome's hands with her eyes shining.
"So you're Japanese like me?" Kikyo asked hopefully. Kagome nodded, smiling back.
"Yes. Yes, I am. It is a pleasure, Kikyo." She replied. "I'm taking from Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's names, they are also from Japan?" Kikyo shook her head.
"No. It's what their parents wanted to call them but they are not native to Japan." Kikyo said. "I hope we can become close friends!" Kagome nodded, grinning.
"I'm sure we will!" Wilbur smiled as Kagome conversed to the other Japanese female. He knew life was going to get better for her and it was definitely turning brighter. Kagome looked at Wilbur and smiled at him. She turned and hugged Wilbur closely, burying her face into his shirt. Wilbur hugged her back, allowing her to cling to him tightly.
"Life is getting better." She murmured to him. Wilbur nodded, resting a hand on top of her head. Kagome shut her eyes and grinned, pulling back and looking at the three other teens. That was when the bell rung, signalling first period was going to start and that everyone should get their butts over there right now. Kagome looked at her timetable. "English." She muttered, making Wilbur grin and pull her along to the first class. They entered the room and the teacher looked at them. Some students glanced at them and muttered between each other once they spotted Kagome. The teacher beckoned Kagome over. She walked over, fiddling with her fingers as Wilbur sat in his seat. The teacher turned his warm gaze to the Japanese female. He raised an eyebrow and set the register down on the table.
"You're the new pupil, correct?" He asked. Kagome nodded her head quickly. "I'm Mr Fraser, go ahead and take a seat in any empty seat." Kagome nodded once again and quickly made her way to a seat right next to Wilbur. They looked at each other before looking to the front. Students piled in and the bell rung once again, chattering with each other. "Class, today we will be reading Shakespeare." Someone raised their hand.
"Sir, which work of Shakespeare will we be reading?" The boy asked. Mr Fraser looked at him.
"Hamlet." He replied before grabbing holographic screens and handing them each out to students. Kagome looked at the screen. She didn't exactly understand how to use it. Wilbur pointed out the buttons at the top and told her how to switch it on and which buttons where to turn the pages. Kagome's eyes widened and she loomed at Wilbur.
"Did Lewis create these things too?!" She whispered in shock. Wilbur nodded, smiling softly before looking at his screen and switching it on. Kagome followed suite. Her eyes watched the screen light up and words pop up. Her eyes widened once again.
"Damn, Lewis is definitely a genius." She thought before she began to read.
