The girl had the shikon shards on a silver chain around her neck. She wore the same uniform as Kagome and her hair, which she kept fingering sadly as she slowly walked out of the salon, hung just past her chin and curled upwards on the ends cutely (a/n: black hair, of course. She's Japanese!). Kagome didn't reconize her...
Kagome ran up to the girl, but stoped when she was a few feet behind her. 'What should i say! I can't just take the shards! that would be wrong, but I can't just say, 'can i have your neckla--'
"Oh dear, the barrier spell isn't working." the girl said. "No wonder... this happens when ever something dramatic happ--" She went quiet when she saw Kagome behind her.
"Uh... hi?" Kagome said weakly.
"Hi, Higurashi san?"
"... Do I know you? I never saw you before-- OH! your Nagao Saina!" Kagome relized. Saina was the only girl in her school that didn't have brown eyes. She had grey. Very sad grey eyes. "I didn't reconize you, your hair was so long, but you cut it all off?! It was longer than mine yesterday."
"Well... I, I felt like a ch, change..." Saina stuttered.
"It's cute."
"Tondemo nai, Higurashi san! But..."
(a/n: in Japan, it's rude to accept a compliment. Tondemo nai means "far from it")
"Yeah? And, just Kagome is allright."
"Okay, Kagome san. But why are you even talking to me... I mean, no one does, so..."
'That's right, because, she's so quiet around everyone, she doesn't have any friends...' Kagome remembered. "Well, why shouldn't I!? I, um... OH..."
"What?"
"Saina san, your leg..."
Saina looked down at her leg and noticed a big welt on her thigh. she quickly tugged her skirt down to cover it. "It's nothing!!!!"
"...."
"Kagome san, why are you talking to me. Nobody does and there must be a reason."
'So much for being subtile!' Kagome thought. "Saina san, I came to ask you about your necklace. Do you know what those shards are?"
"Wha... of course I know! It's been in my family for hundreds of years. Along time ago it was part of a complete jewel that was broken by some miko, and my -- HEY! How do you even know i have these?" Saina said pulling the chain from out of her blouse and reveiling two tiny fragments. no more than three millimeters in length each.
"Um... Ano... I knew this wouldn't go well..."
"You know too much. Now I will have to kill you."
"WHAT?!"
Saina sighed. "I'm just kidding. But really, i think i understand."
"You do?"
"Yeah, but I have to go home now. See ya." She began to walk in the same direction Kagome had came from.
"Hey! Don't you live on the other side of town?"
"Not any more. I just moved. Near the Higurashi shrine. Doesn't your O jii san own it?"
"I live right next to it!"
'Great.' Saina thought as she walked home.
'So I'm not the only one in the world who can see the shikon no kakera. Higurashi Kagome can see them also.'
Kagome ran up to the girl, but stoped when she was a few feet behind her. 'What should i say! I can't just take the shards! that would be wrong, but I can't just say, 'can i have your neckla--'
