Chapter 1- The Newcomer
*Song condensed from Evanescence's "Taking Over Me"
{You don't remember me but I remember you}
"...It has been a long time since we last met, Lady Kikyo..."
It was him again. And he appeared similarly as he does in all her dreams with him on it. As a tall dark silhouette of a young man wearing clothes from Feudal Japan. This stranger had been a common character in her dreams for the past week, and he had been bringing out a familiar sensation of knowledge for this dark stranger since the dreams with him started. His deep mysterious voice hailed most of the familiarity and she couldn't help but wonder if she really knew who was behind that dark silhouette.
Her heart beats wildly in her chest due to fear as she asked the stranger the same question she always asked him.
"Who are you?"
She knew that the man has changed his expression.
"Why are you in my dreams?"
The man kept silent.
"...Why do you keep on calling me Lady Kikyo?!..." she finally blurted out
The last question was a question she had kept at bay for sometime and it was only now that he had asked it from him...
"You'll soon know... When the right time comes... and the right time is near..." he replied.
Another riddle. She just hates it when he replies in riddles.
The young man turned around to leave, his dress playing wildly against the wind. His figure was slowly drifting away.
"Wait!" she called out "When is that going to be?"
"Remember what you said to me once... ' The Past is essential. The Future holds the key'..." his voice rang out. It echoed through the invisible walls that surround her.
"Wait!!!"
There was ringing that filled her ears. It rang louder and louder till it engulfed her whole...
Her eyes flew open and she realized she was back in her room. And she found out that the ringing came from her stupid alarm clock, which did not even cease to ring now that she's already up. She quickly reached for it to quiet it down.
She did it while contemplating on her dream.
{I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you}
'It's him again' she thought.
Kagome Higurashi has been having precognitive dreams ever since she was small. She always has a way of predicting her own future, may it be direct (through dreams and intuitions) or indirect (accidentally said predictions that come true). Though she always find it stupid to see the opposite of her test scores before the test and not see the answers to the questions there. (^_^;)
And she knew that this dream is one of those bound to come true very soon.
Fear gripped her whole being as she recalled what the stranger had told her.
"...The right time is near..."
Somehow, she knows that the young man has this inner wrath for her and that's the reason for his urgency to meet her. And she knows that when that time comes, something crazy is bound to happen.
She was snapped back to reality when the clock failed to stop. She looked at it and shut it down by removing the batteries and returning it. It was only then that she noticed that it was only three in the morning. She wondered why her clock that was set for five o' clock rang at an ungodly hour of three o' clock in the morning. She then noticed that the minute hand of her alarm clock was not moving and she concluded that the batteries were down that's why her clock went nuts.
As she placed her clock back on the shelf, she immersed herself in the silence of the whole house. She suddenly felt nervous and sensed something was terribly wrong.
The whole house was way too quiet.
{But who can decide what they dream?}
Her attention was then caught by the streaks of light that flashed from her window. Quickly jumping from her bed and grabbing a nearby baseball bat (what is that doing in a girl's room?) in one full motion, she went towards the window and shoved the curtains off. She could not believe what she saw...
There were about a million of meteors showering down from the sky! And to her amazement, these meteors that rained down on yards and houses disintegrate as soon as they hit an object, thus leaving the object undamaged!
As she marveled this spectacular sight, one of the meteors suddenly hit the old abandoned house across the Higurashi's residence. As soon as it did, a tunnel of light shot upwards and Kagome could see a silhouette descending from the heavens. She stared at the silhouette, trying to focus her vision, and as she was almost figuring out this being, the deep dark voice of the man in her dreams came to her. His message echoed once more in her head and this time, she knew right there and then that her dreams are now beginning to unfold...
{And dream I do...}
"...The Past is Essential. The Future holds the Key. I've come for you now, Lady Kikyo. And you can't escape me..."
She was staring at him in disbelief that this was the stranger in her dream when a meteor came charging right at her from her window. She heard her window break into pieces and she felt the sharp bits of glass pierce her skin along with the intense heat of the meteor.
She heard a voice nearby. A familiar female voice...
"... The Past has shown a Sign. The Future is the Key..."
She just hates riddles. Especially those from her dreams.
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She was surprised when she realized that she had been sleeping on her bed. She was sure that with everything that occurred earlier that morning, she would have been lying on the floor along with the bits and pieces of broken glass... and burnt carpeting due to the meteor...
"Oh, Shit!" she swore upon the idea that her carpet was burned and she quickly jumped from her bed to check it out.
To her surprise, there was no evidence that something as bizarre as what had happened to her earlier that morning had occurred! There were no shards of glass on the floor. The window lay intact. The carpet was fine and the baseball bat leaned beside her bed in its usual pose. She has no wounds that need healing and there were no fragments of the meteor that crashed in her room!
She then looked across the room and straight into the old abandoned house across the street. It was very quiet.
"Kagome, are you up yet? You'll be late for school!" her mother hollered "Coming, mama!" she replied
She took one last glance at the house across the street before finally giving up and headed downstairs to meet her mother.
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The young man shoved the black curtains back to place. Unknown to Kagome, he had been studying at her from a distance, thinking of his next move to capture her. He then glanced at the mirror, where his reflection stared straight back at him...
"I've finally found her." He mumbled to his reflection. "That's great." His reflection smiled sweetly. "Now we can do what we wanted all these years..." He smiled along with his reflection as he said the word in his mind... "Revenge."
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Danketsu University is an international private school located in the heart of Tokyo. And Kagome is currently studying there as a senior high school student in 4-3.
She had no one to call there as a best friend. She rarely do relate to others about her dreams in fear of rejection. But this time, she really wants somebody to at least talk to her to relieve the fear she felt within her. But she found no one.
She placed her bag on the hook and glanced at the still empty chair next to her. Ever since her classmate that once sat there went to America, the seat was never occupied again. Most of her free time, she sits on it, as she likes the way the wind feels as it seeps through the window and the nice view of the outside world. But on that day, she sensed that there was something terrible about that seat and she kept on glancing away from it as if it was Medusa's incarnate.
'Today will be the last day this seat will be empty.' She thought to herself.
Soon enough, the bell rang for the start of classes and every student rushed to their seats. A few minutes later, their adviser, Mr. Alan Calvert came in. The class stood to greet their adviser, and he motioned them to sit.
"Class, I want to tell you that we have a new student that will be in our class from now on. Later, Mr. White, the principal's son, would accompany him. So I want you all to behave by the time they come, okay?" Mr. Calvert said
"Yes sir!" the class replied in chorus.
"I'm counting on you, section 4-3!"
Suddenly, there was a loud succession of knocks on the door. Mr. Calvert quickly went to investigate. As soon as he disappeared from the door, the room was filled with numerous chatting from every one, save Kagome who was satisfied wondering silently who that was. Mr. Calvert appeared again and the voices lied low.
A tall blonde man of about 25 to 30 with a pair of round spectacles around his face came from the door. He quickly aroused the attention of a number of girls and the room went into a frenzy. But it was suddenly transformed into serene, church-like silence as soon as Mr. White cleared his throat and started to speak.
After a few introductions on Mr. White, the topic was soon changed to those about the newcomer. Kagome paid much more attention on this than to the screams of her classmates that have a crush on Mr. White and their silenced 'discussions'.
For some unknown reason, Kagome knew that whatever factual background they tell about this 'newcomer' were all made up lies. She frowned and giggled to herself on the comments and realized that she had been doing this unintentionally.
Another succession of knocks were heard from the door.
"Ah... that must be him now. Come in!" Mr. White said
The voices start to get louder as her classmates start to chat wilder than before. Kagome frowned, as she was waiting in great anticipation who the guy will be and she can't seem to focus with all of them chatting at the same time.
The door creaked as the young man behind it opened it. As he enters the room, the class went to a sudden hush and all eyes were on the newcomer's face. Not a soul took his/her eyes off the young man, even Kagome, until he stood before them.
"I'd like to introduce you all to our new student, Mr. Inori Yamamoto."
Inori bowed.
"Inori, I think you better sit..." the teacher scanned the room "There! Right next to Ms. Higurashi."
Inori silently moved to Kagome's place. Kagome stared at him for quite a while as he stood in front of her.
"... You can't escape me! ..."
The words suddenly zapped in her head and she held out a gasp. Thus, calling the attention of those around her.
"Is there any problem, Ms. Higurashi?" Mr. Calvert asked.
Kagome stood quickly. "Gomenasai!" She moved out of his way to let him pass.
Inori sat quietly behind her, but his eyes never lost their target.
"I hope Mr. Yamamoto would enjoy his stay here in your class..." Mr. White said as soon as he sat.
"Of course, Mr. White." To the class, Mr. Calvert motioned "Isn't that right, class?"
"Yes, sir!!" they said in chorus with most of the girls leading.
As her classmates continued with their own commotion and as both men exits the room, Kagome looks behind her to take in the newcomer's presence.
She gazed at the young man, which was looking outside for the moment. She took note of his jet-black hair tied up to a low ponytail and the darkness behind his dark brown eyes. Underneath the uniform, she could see the dark red shirt he had on. She wondered why he was allowed to wear his hair long when all other guys in the school just had to conform. She wondered if he really was from China, if he really was the son of a famous business tycoon and if he really lives in one of the most expensive hotels in whole Tokyo...
As if sensing her, the guy turned to face her.
Surprised at his sudden action, she quickly defended herself with an apology.
"Gomenasai! I did not mean to stare at you!"
Inori looked at her for sometime before responding.
"It's alright." He said. "I don't mind."
She sighed in relief.
"You must be Ms. Higurashi."
She nodded.
"Then you must be the girl who lives in the shrine."
"Hai! How did you--...?"
"You should be very careful around there. I've heard that a lot of bizarre things happen when you live in a shrine..."
"If there ever will be a thing such as that would happen, I should be the first to know! I've lived there all my life and nothing of that sort has ever occurred!"
"Are you sure? ..." he grinned.
This stopped Kagome and it made her recall what had occurred that morning. She stared at Inori, wondering how he knew so much but has never been to a shrine before...
"Miss Higurashi!" Mr. Calvert sternly said.
She held out a gasp as she stood. "Mr. Calvert! I-I... I..." she stammered
"...SHOULD have been teaching Mr. Yamamoto here where we have left off in last meeting's lesson..." the teacher continued. He sighed. "I know you're excited with our newcomer and all, but I think you two would find it better if you two talk after class..."
To everyone's surprise, Inori stood in defense of Kagome.
"Please don't scold her, Mr. Calvert. I was the one who bothered her to answer my questions about the school... I own all the fault."
"Yamamoto?" she mumbled.
The two men stared straight for a few moments, till Mr. Calvert gave up and sighed...
"Well, then... Just ... remember that you should not talk while class is going on, alright?"
"Arigato gozaimasu, sensei." Inori bowed.
"Arigato gozaimasu!" Kagome followed.
"Sit down."
Kagome glanced at him as she sat and she gave him a smile. But Inori's face return to it's blank expression once more. But she took note of a change in his eyes.
His dark browns were sparkling.
