Chapter 1: Arrival

The carriage wheels rattled on the cobblestones as it continued along its path. Far in the distance a castle loomed up into the sky. But that was still a good hour away.Kagome Higurashi looked anxiously at the stream of carriages now joining hers on the path. This was it. She was finally going to become a

knight! This had to be the best day of her young life! A sudden voice

penetrated her thoughts.

"I can't believe we've got a girl in our year!"

"I know! This is going the be the worst year ever!" added another.

"At least things can't get any worse." said the final passenger in the carriage.

There was room enough to fit four of them in there. Kagome sighed and leaned her head against the window. 'This is going to be a long year,' she thought. Suddenly, another carriage pulled up alongside theirs. Once again, there were all boys. Three of them were laughing, obviously at the other boy's

expense. But this one was different. He had long silver hair that fell to his waist, dog ears, and was leaned on a small clawed hand. Kagome had never seen another like him, what was he?

"Darn it, Yusuke! You spoke too soon! Now not only do we have e a girl in our year, we've got a half-breed too!" All the boys in the carriage laughed. Many others in separate carriages laughed as well. Apparently they could hear, too. 'Why do they laugh? Certainly they had no reason to dislike this boy?'

Kagome thought, her young mind riddled with innocence.'And what's a half- breed?'

"How should we torture them first? asked Nakiro.

"Maybe we should throw them into the lake!" said Sirichiro.

"How about we-"

"That's ENOUGH!" Kagome shouted, breaking off Yusuke's sentence. "How dare you speak like that about people you don't even know? If I weren't so kind I'd...I'd..ARGGHHHH!" she exclaimed and hurtled a tremendous force of pink light out of the carriage.

Suddenly, a tree outside began to shake. It lifted itself off the ground and was hurtled into the nearby mountainside. A shower of rocks and wood splinters ran down on the carriges."GOT THAT!" she yelled. All of the boys, including the hanyou, nodded.

After a short ride in stunned silence, the carriage was pulled To a stop. The drivers unloaded the cargo and ushered the children into the Great Hall, where they were assigned rooms in the page wing. Kagome found her room and flopped down on the bed. She wasn't supposed to use her powers like that. Now

she was all out of energy. She felt her eyelid droop.'Maybe a little nap before dinner wouldn't be so bad...' she thought and fell asleep.
