Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I own Raine. Her first day, here we go. ENJOY
Raine woke up to find Hiten shaking her. She squinted her eyes.
" Get up, sleeping beauty! Breakfast time!" he smiled.
She moaned as she got up. He helped her on the way.
" Sleep well, precious?" he asked with a grin on his lips.
She narrowed one eye and the other didn't close together as much. She was very tired. She looked at the clock. No wonder. It was seven in the morning. She stared back at Hiten.
" Wouldn't you like to know?" she asked suspiciously.
Yes, she remenisced the kiss. Yes, her lips were on fire when he did it. Yes, she had actually liked it. She might've thought that his kiss had more sparks than Bankotsu's. She felt despicable thinking so, but it was true.
" Hah. Let's get going. Everyone else has already left." he said.
They walked out of the room and started down the hallway.
" Hmmm...Fang...Fang...you know, you look like this guy I used to know. Any ties to Inuyasha Fang?" Hiten asked. Raine nodded.
" Yeah. He's my twin brother."
Hiten froze.
" Really? I think he was in here for the same reason as you. Twins. That's interesting. Well you won't be a twin for much longer."
" What do you mean?" she inquired with a hint of curiosity. They walked on.
" Botan and Momiji are beauty freaks. Before they were put in here, they were planning on becoming licensed hair stylists." he replied.
He set his hand on a door knob.
" Here we are." he announced.
He opened the door. Raine walked in and saw many demons inside. Priestesses, too. She followed Hiten to get her tray, then to his table. She had nowhere else to go.
" Guys, meet Raine. Raine, this is Jakotsu." he said.
He pointed to a guy with the same outfit as Hiten, but his hair was short and in a high ponytail, and he had purple arrows under his blue eyes. He smiled.
" Pleasure." he said.
Raine smiled and nodded. Yep. This guy was a gay man. You could tell just by how he talked. How he looked. He had red lipstick on. This image shall hereby scar Raine for life.
" This is Manten. He's MY brother." he said.
Wow. For a brother, he didn't look anything like Hiten. He looked like an actual demon. He had slits for eyes, a snake-shaped head and claws on his fingers.
" Nice to meet you." the dude was drooling.
Raine blushed and nodded.
" This is Botan, " Hiten pointed to a girl that looked a little older than Raine. She had long, bluish-black hair, and a white shirt like Raine's except her capris were blue.
" And this is Momiji."
Momiji had shorter hair down to her neck, and red capris on.
" Hello!" they said at the same time.
Raine smiled. She felt so awkward. It sucks being the new kid.
" Hi." she replied simply.
" Wow. You're a beauty." awed Manten.
" She's my roommate." Hiten said smugly. Manten's jaw dropped.
" No way."
" Yes way."
" Ohhhh...Pretty you are! Yes! Sister, what shall we do this time?" Botan squeaked.
Raine blinked and blushed harder. Hiten smirked.
" What damage will you chicks do this time?" he sighed.
Damage? There was going to be damage involved? That word didn't ring through Raine's head in the best way.
" Oh, yes! A little snip there, some blush there! Yes! Raine, you will join us at recess for a makeover!" Momiji clapped.
" Yes! We should get Yura to help us!" Botan exclaimed.
" Are you kidding? No way! She's shave her head bald!" Momiji hissed.
Raine began to worry. What were they going to do to her? Her hair?
Hiten and the guys laughed.
" They've found a new victim, but she's indeed pretty. They'll do a good job. I can tell." Jakotsu grinned.
Raine smirked nervously. She had never recieved this much attention before.
" Recess!" some guy with a microphone said.
Everyone flooded the grounds outside. Botan and Momiji grabbed Raine's hands and dragged her to the bathroom.
" Good luck!" Hiten waved. Before she knew it, Raine was in the bathroom. Botan and Momiji smiled.
" We shall begin!"
Raine closed her eyes.
Hiten, Manten, and Jakotsu were shooting hoops.
" You think she'll be okay?" asked Hiten.
He passed the ball to Jakotsu. Jakotsu shot and scored.
" Yeah. It's not like they'll kill her." he smiled. He passed it to Manten. He shot, but missed.
" That was pathetic!" teased Hiten.
But he saw Manten and Jakotsu staring at something. He turned around and saw Botan and Momiji. There was a girl in front of them. It was Raine.
She looked very different. Her T-shirt was cut to show stomach and the sleeves were cut off. She had on make-up that matched her skin color well. Her bangs were layered and sparkling with apple-scented gel. Her usual long, silver hair was cut up to her shoulders and pulled into a high ponytail which was curled.
Hiten's jaw dropped. She was more stunning now than she was when they had first met.
" Wow..." the guys all muttered at once.
Raine did have a slender, fit-shaped body.
" Alright. I wanna shoot. Pass me the ball!" she yelled.
Manten picked up the basketball and tossed it to her. She shot and scored.
Dr. Jineji walked out and caught the ball. He looked at Raine.
" I need to see you in my office." he told her. He passed the ball to Hiten. Raine looked at them.
" Catch ya later." she said.
They nodded and continued to play. Raine followed Dr. Jinenji back inside. He walked into his office and motioned for her to sit on an examination table.
" If you will allow it, all I'm going to do is check your eyes, ears, heartbeat, pulse, and athletic ability. Reports say you were put in here with a disorder. We like to call it " split personality." And that you suffer with borderline and temporary black outs. Tell me first, before we begin, how do you think it happens? What happened that was so bad that you had to come here for?" he said.
Raine's eyebrows furrowed. She didn't feel comfortable bringing the subject up again. But she decided to tell him. He seemed nice enough.
" All I can remember is my friend and I were skipping fifth period and we heard a scream. We went to find out what it is, and found a cat demon beating up a human. I told him to stop, but he didn't and insulted me. I could feel my impatience and temper rising. Then it goes black. As if I had fallen asleep." she said.
He jotted down some notes.
" You're shrinking me, aren't you?" she whimpered.
He put his hand up and shook his head.
" No. I'm just writing this down so I'll know what's going on and how we can treat it." he explained. " Can you remember what happened after you awoke?"
" When I woke up, I saw Bankotsu and Kagome. They were holding me up on the floor. I felt exhausted. Then I caught the scent of cat's blood. I looked at my hands and they were covered in it. I saw the cat demon being carried away by the paramedics. And the boy I saved was quivering in fear of my presence. Then I realized that I had female's blood on me, too, in the bathroom when I'd been washing the blood off. I actually blacked out for about five seconds in there on Kagome. But the blood was of my friend of which I skipped the class with. I had slashed her arm. My friend Kagome comforted me. Then I was taken here against my will." tears watered Raine's cheeks just talking about it.
He handed her a tissue.
" I see. So, apparently you black out when you get angry. Has this happened before?"
" Yes." she nodded and told him her story about Ryukotsusei.
He nodded and took out a watch.
" This is a watch that your elder brother Sesshomaru told me to hold onto and that if you were to ever end up here like your brother, to give it to you. Your mother had it made out of her love for you. Your father melted it with one of your mother's daggers, and this was formed. You can control your demon side with this. You shouldn't go full demon anymore with your mother's presence with you." he handed it to her.
It was a pocket watch. She put it around her neck like a necklace and gazed at it. She held it up and could see her mother's reflection in the glass covering the actual watch. She smiled and stuck it down her shirt.
" Thanks." she nodded. He nodded.
" I recommend buying a punching bag. Whenever you have stress, hit it. It helps. Whenever you're angry, touch your watch and think happy thoughts. I'll have you take meds for five weeks. Apply for anger management classes, and see a psychiatrist once a week. Hopefully, if you stick to this routine, by your next birthday you shouldn't have to take meds or classes, but keep the punching bag." he smiled.
Raine smirked. A punching bag sounded like a good idea.
" Okay." Raine sighed.
He began to check her ears, heart beat, and pulse.
" Three laps in the gym and you'll be done for today." he concluded.
She ran the laps in less than three minutes.
" Good job. There's about fifteen more minutes of recess. Then lunch." he said.
She nodded and headed back onto the grounds. Everyone was sitting at a picnic table, talking. She sat down at the end, next to Jakotsu. He turned around and looked at her with a sincere smile.
" Have a good time with the doctor? Where'd you get the watch?" he asked.
She nodded.
" He helped. It's my mother's. It's supposed to keep my demon blood under wraps. Hopefully, I won't need it soon." she sighed.
" I can't believe that they couldn't make an exception to let you stay with Momiji and Botan or something. Coed rooms shouldn't be allowed. I think you should talk to the doctor again and ask him. You and the girls are friends, so it should work out. I just don't think...I especially don't think that you should be roomed with Hiten of all demons." he said.
Raine wondered; was he jealous? She doubted it, though. He was gay, so how would he be jealous? Unless he was jealous of her for being with Hiten. Who knew?
" Why?" she asked. He just closed his eyes and smiled.
" I don't suggest getting too close to him. Your brother was our friend, too. He was here for the same as you. You'll be here only for a short while. So there's no point."
" But, what if sparks fly?" she was referring to the kiss.
" Would you really be able to date someone who's in an insane asylum?" he asked.
" Point taken." she sighed.
Bankotsu still hadn't come to see her yet and here she was talking about dating some other guy. She felt miserable. Jakotsu pat her in the shoulder.
" Don't get down about it. Just say that you'd feel comfortable staying with your own gender. Botan and Momiji aren't demons, they're priestesses. They're cool. Jinenji can keep your request confidential if you don't want to hurt Hiten's feelings." he said.
" Oh. Thanks. I'll look into that after lunch." she replied.
He nodded in satisfaction. Then he caught sight of her claws. They had black nail polish that was nearly gone. His eyes grew with surprise.
" What are those?" his hand flew up next to his mouth with disgust.
" Uh...my claws?" she replied.
" No! The stuff on them!" he insisted.
" Polish?" she inquired.
" Why is it so...so...ugly?" he demanded.
" Ugly?" she yelled.
" We must repair this flaw. I will join you tonight in Momiji and Botan's room. We will need to do some serious damage." he said.
Raine gulped. More damage? The world was out to get her.
Lunch passed by rather quickly. While everyone was in the commercial room, Raine headed to Dr. Jinenji's office. He looked up at her from his desk.
" Yes, Raine?" he asked. She took a deep breath.
" I'd like to ask you something." she said.
" What is it?" he said.
" I'd like to know if I could possibly stay in a room with Botan and Momiji. They're girls and we get along just fine. I just don't really feel right staying in a room with a man...Hiten." she replied.
" Why's that?" there was no anger in his soft voice, no scolding or harshness, but concern. This helped her talk.
" Well, he kinda kissed me--" she began. He put his hand up to hush her.
" Say no more. I understand completely. And I take it you want me to keep this away from Hiten?" he assumed. She nodded shyly.
" Okay then. During T.V. time, someone will put in a new bed in the girls' room for you. You'll move in tonight." he said. She sighed in relief.
" Thank you." she bowed and left. He leaned back in his seat after she closed the door.
" Such a sweet girl. It's hard to believe that she's a demon. Er...half demon." he muttered.
A/N: He'd better believe it! Alrighty then! What do you guys think of all this? One more chapter of the Hiten Trilogy! Lol. PLEASE REVIEW
