She had thought that with her duty in the past behind her, she could continue on as a normal girl in the present. Boy, was she wrong. Not even a week back and Sesshoumaru showed up on their doorstep. And now here she was, working with him as a part of a negotiator with other species to ensure mutual survival. Or something along those lines.

Right now she was trailing along with two students of a school that housed vampires with humans. The two students in question were supposed keepers of the 'Day class' and 'Night class', to ensure no one crossed any lines. It wasn't what she called actual integration, but to each their own.

"So, Higurashi-san, how long are you staying?" the girl, Yuki, asked as they walked along the school grounds.

"Uh... I honestly don't know. At most, a couple of weeks?" she shrugged her shoulders, not really sure how this whole negotiation thing was actually supposed to go.

Zero, the half breed boy that was fiercely protective of Yuki snorted. "That sounded more like a question than an actual answer."

"Look, I'm new to this whole negotiations thing. I wasn't always alone. There usually was-!" her explanations was interrupted when a smooth voice spoke up, finishing for her.

"A monk." the young male was handsome, cinnamon brown eyes that glowed a subtle red were pinning Kagome down. The moon made his white uniform seem to give off a glow giving the already ethereal male an otherworldly appearance.

Kagome narrowed her eyes in return, not at all liking how he managed to sneak up on her. "How do you know that? And who are you?" she leaned in closer on the male, poking at him with his aura. She scowled when she picked up on something that nagged at the back of her memory "There's something familiar about you..."

Yuki and Zero watched the two interacting with trepidation, not sure what could happen. They stayed at the ready just to be sure. Their guest approached the vampire with a searching gaze, while the vampire smirked down at her.

"The headmaster told me what I needed to know, so despite what you are, you couldn't have been there when it happened. So how do you know?" she stopped in front of him, poking him in the chest, not at all threatened that she was technically pray.

"Wouldn't you like to know, little holy one." the smirk Kaname wore seemed to infuriate their guest.

As for Kagome, she bristled at the title he had used on her. Memories of a certain character she met back in the past rushing to the forefront. "What? It can't be! The headmaster..." she trailed of as she tried to put the pieces together. An ancient vampire king from the past and she stood before his look-alike 'descendant'? She didn't see how time travel was the answer here as it had been in her case. Reincarnation? Urg, knowing about such topics made everything possible and all the more confusing.

"Wait a minute..." her eyes narrowed as she recalled exactly how she met this vampire in the past, if he really was the same vampire as from back then. "If you're who I think you are... then you're a pervert! I should smack that stupid grin off your face."

"I have no idea to what you're referring to." his smirk getting more... annoying. It seemed as if he wanted her to say out loud how they met.

"Ooo." her cheeks warmed when she caught on to his game. With a sniff, she stood her full height, spun on her heel and began walking away. "Supernatural males are the worst, ya got that Yuki! They play those stupid mind games to trap you, so be careful."

Yuki and Zero watched from the sidelines, silent. Their eyes followed the highly amused Kaname as he followed after Kagome, plucking her cellphone from her grasp as she ranted to the person on the other end of her call. Never had they seen the vampire interact so freely with anyone like that other than Yuki It left them to wonder just how the two met. As Kagome bounced and reached for her cell with Kaname keeping it from her, Yuki and Zero could only watch at the bizarre scene.
