Author's Notes: For the sake of this story, Hojo will have the same last name as his ancestor. IE the past trying to get what it could not have in the first place, Kagome.

Kagome stared down at the little rolled up piece of paper that signified that she was now officially done with Middle School. Beside her, Ayame, Eri, and Yuka were talking animatedly, making her smile. Then a small frown brought her lips downwards. Heading directly for them was none other than Hojo, Akitoki. She liked him; he was a sweet guy. Earnest, honest, thoughtful, and a whole bunch of other stuff. But none of it stirred something in her.

"Ladies. Kagome, congratulations on graduating," he stated with a smile on his face.

This brought a sigh and a few squeals from her friends, while Kagome just flashed him a soft tolerant smile. She then counted in her head, not reaching ten before her friends asked him to come with them to eat a celebratory meal. Meaning they were going to try and hook them up… again.

XX-XX-XXXX

You know, there are some things in this world that you have to wonder about. And I know I am maybe petty on this fact. But it has to do with the intelligence of the males of the human race. I mean seriously? How many times does a person have to indicate (outright say it even) before one gets the hint that a person is not interested? Either way, it won't matter as the person in question will not be attending my new High School.

On that note, Yuka was ecstatic that she was going to school. I guess the Dean and the rest of the board really meant it when agreeing to my only term to attend the school. Either way, seeing my friend so happy was a warm, fuzzy feeling. Though the others were not the same. And the guy mentioned, not named, above was a bit let down. They were admitting that he was rejected after applying. Eri and Ayame had been shocked to learn that I had been accepted when they both knew that I had not even applied.

Pausing in her writing, Kagome rolled over onto her side from her stomach and staring at the partially written page in her diary and wondering why Hojo was denied. She knew he could trace his ancestry all the way back to the Feudal Era of Japan to a Noble no less. But then again, she knew it had to be something or another. He had been the most popular guy in school. Top of the charts (just like her) on test scores. He was physically inclined and did well at sports. Giving a small sigh as her mind wandered back to her last visit to the school. Eyes narrowing before rolling back onto her stomach and continuing to write.

Though I am now officially done with Middle School. I have my diploma that mama has already framed and hung on the wall. She was practically glowing with pride. Now, in two weeks, High School will start, and I will be attending Peak Emperor Academy High School. And I am glad to have at least one friend attending with me.

Which brings me to the digging I had done upon the school. It is for the elite, as I had mentioned earlier. The wealthy, famous, Noble families with long History. But it also catered to people who didn't fit those bills at all. But it was a school over two hundred years old, and those who attended and graduated well did so to become someone or do something important in society.

Also, I accessed the online school yearbook and looked up the two boys I saw the last time. It is official; my mind was blown! They belong to a very powerful man who was making significant waves in our country's society Sakamaki Tougo. Though they do share some similar facial features, I have to wonder if the man is a lech. He has seven sons. None who really looks like him except for the eldest, who shares the same light blond hair color.

But just looking at their pictures let me know that they were all going to be trouble of some sort. Gotta love it when the old female intuition kicks in and gives the gut a good sharp kick. And I can already see boy crazy Yuka chasing them. Then there was another four boys who stuck out, the Mukami's. They too were beautiful in an unnatural ethereal manner. I wonder if being in their presence as well would make my skin crawl just like the two Sakamaki's Reiji, and Laito did?

Well, I have two weeks to enjoy myself and practice my Archer before I have to deal with going to my first semester of High School. And though I know I will be a Freshman; the school is adamant not to state such a designation. Instead of saying it was just my first year. Letting me pick my classes as long as I did the core classes required and study at my own pace. This is good because the sooner I can finish up High School and move onto the College of choice (haven't decided yet), then I can be my own person.

Well, I think this is a good place to stop tonight. I need sleep and to process all I have learned for the day!

Dotting her exclamation, Kagome smiled and capped her pen and placed it as a holder in her diary before closing it and shoving it under her pillow. Sleep was calling her, though her mind kept going back to the online student registry — the data she had surfed the net for as well on the boys and that man. There was no mistaking that the short-haired, dark eyes Tougu looked almost like the blond Doctor at the school. Her mind supplied Reinhart as the name as she finally fell asleep for the night.

Gold-eyes watched the offices other three occupants as they did the end of year Paperwork. The graduating class had been small, not that it was surprising to him. But it was satisfactory as most of them went to prestigious colleges. One of the students has gotten into Oxford in the UK, while another went to Brown in Rhode Island.

It had him wondering just how quickly this version of the girl they wanted to protect would get through the school since they had set the school up for the students to learn at their own pace. Though after the third year mark, the students would get more pressure to finish up. This was an institution of learning, not a permanent daycare for lazy geniuses.

"You know if you keep your brow pinched, you look like a scary demon."

Lifting an eyebrow, Sesshomaru looked over a pair of sparkling Jade eyes. Just to get a fanged smile.

"Hey, don't give me that look, my Lordship," Shippo said in a teasing voice. "Besides, I have an idea of what you were thinking about. I know I have wondered on the topic of Kagome and how smart she really is in this timeline. And have talked it over with Wolf and Red here."

This had Sesshomaru sitting back in his plush chair to look at the three of them. Just to raise his hand and shake his head as he felt the familiar aura of their fifth member coming down the hall. The topic put on halt since none of them wanted to let the man know anything more about Kagome. And each had called in several favors to keep any and all information about her private, restricted at the highest government levels. As well as the supernatural as well.

That deal made five hundred years ago had cost a lot from each of them but allowed for them to form a sort of contract with the Kami's themselves to protect the bearer of the Shikon no Tama.

He was not a fool. And after informing his two sons who'd come in contact with that girl, learning they had felt that same electric charge in the air as he had, to leave her alone that he would not stop them from being killed for annoying, scaring, or harming the girl before telling them to be smart about how they found out information.

This had not just Reiji's and Laito's attention but his other son's and the Mukami's. Of course, a bit of competition between the boys would be good because he was no fool. No, Karlheinz had a vague sense of what that electric charge was. And it should not exist in this day and age. Due to the fact that a deal had been struck in the past to wipe all females with that ability from the human race.

The smile he had on his face as he strode into the office with his bundle of medical notes on the students that had graduated so they could be copied and sent to the appropriate place. He grinned wider when he saw the looks the four ancient demons gave him, meaning they were talking about things that the spelled room wouldn't let him hear. And with the warning he got last time, he knew it was Higurashi, Kagome.

He was not happy, nor was his older brother. Their father was once again playing games. But the threat of them being killed was made clear. And none of them had to ask who would kill them if that girl was put into a state other than happiness. None of them wanted to be on the wrong side of demons well over five hundred years old. It was bad enough as it was their father who was over two-thousand years old and respected them.

"So, let me get this straight, Laito had the pleasure of meeting this little vixen. And you Reiji got to see her before Okami-sensei decided to intervene?" Kou asked.

Turning his green eyes to look at the younger blond vampire, Laito just nodded as he glared from under his fedora.

"That would be correct. There is something different about Kagome. But father didn't state we could not interact with her, just had to be very careful. Add on to the fact that he didn't say we couldn't researcher her, just to be cautious; it is like he is pitting us against each other again," Reiji stated in an imperious manner.

"Well, then why don't we make it a competition. Whoever gets the best information on the little girl first, of course, gets first chance to… woo her," Ayato said, grinning as if he already won.

"I am curious as to why the Dean and his little group are so interested in that girl. I would suggest we wait until school starts. Then we have a better chance. Because there is the chance that she might have a fellow schoolmate attending the school as well," Ruki spoke up.

The nod of their heads as they remained silent before vanishing to their respective rooms for rest. While across the city, a small raven haired girl shivered, asleep in her bed. Face contorting in discomfort though they were not aware of it.

TBC!
