Diary of a mute
Chapter two
arriving
(a/n- thoughts are in ' ', * * is signlanguae or writing, and flashbacks have the whole Flashback= thing.)
As I closed the velvet lined book that I got for my 14th birthday, I wondered what I was doing.
In a week, I would turn 15, and I was only now opening the tiny book. I had been sort of cleaning out my
room, looking for some school supplies for the upcoming school year, and I found it, with an old sock
covering it, inside a little box labeled 'diarys'. I had gotten more than a few diarys since I had moved to
Tokyo, most from my half sisters ( I didn't consider them real sisters, since I wasn't a real Higurashi), so I
was confused as to why I chose this one to write in. I guess it was because it was blue, my
favorite color.
"Hey, Rin, have you found any school stuff? Cuz If not, Mom's gonna buy us a bunch of new
ones. Besides that old backpack just didn't look good. It was really starting to look shabby." I looked up to
find my sister Kagome leaning on my door frame, that eternal smile on her face. She was already
dressed in the school uniform, which was a white sailors shirt with a green and amazingly short skirt.
Kagome was 17, and would be a junior this year. She was always cheery, except around her boyfriend, Inu-
Yasha, where she could get pretty mean if he antagonized her. Lately, he had been learning not to.
*Yeah, I don't think I'll find much in this mess. Better ask her* I signed as I smiled back at her. My
entire foster family was pretty fluent in sign language, and Kagome had practiced the most when I first
moved here, to make me feel at home. I liked that. It did make me feel special.
The raven haired girl at my door way walked over to me and sat down, with a worried expression on
her face.
"Hey, are you sure you wanna go through with this? Going to a new school is pretty hard. I could
just get mom to...."
I shook my head emphatically. Sure, I was a little worried about going to highschool, but I didn't
want to seem too different. Kagome gave me one more worried look, then nodded and let me finish getting
ready.
beep beep beep.
The alarm clock on my nightstand went off, awakening me from the wierdest dream I've had in a
while. I groped for the sleep button, wondering why I had to wake up at such an ungodly hour. I had
almost reached it before I remembered that today was my first day of school.
'damn damn damn. I really don't wanna do this. I should have taken Kagome up on her offer'. I
thought as I crawled out of bed and got into my uniform. While I brushed my hair and put it up (a little pony
tail on the side, like usual), I looked at myself in the full length mirror.
My porcelion skin shone in the early morning sunlight, filtering through my window. Quickly
brushing the sleep out of my eyes, I left my room and stumbled down the stairs to eat (fall face first into )
breakfast. What can I say? I'm not a morning person! the usual hype about breakfast being the most
important meal of the day, and then sent us all off to school. Actually, Kikyo had graduated last year, so it
was just me and Kagome, walking down the street.
As we traveled the streets of Tokyo, I noticed more than
a few people give us more than just a passing glace. Some even outright stared! At first, I was outraged that
people would stare like that for no reason, then I got paranoid. Yep, even a mute like me worries what people
think. What if I had my entire school uniform on backward? After a great deal of glaring, then some made
swipes with my arm to find the tag on the back of my shirt, I finally figured out why they where staring.
Even though Tokyo was a fairly large town, in our neighborhood, everyone knew everyone. And
everyone knew everyone's dirty secrets. For the new commers, I must have stood out. I hadn't been a social
butterfly since my parent's death, so when I moved in with my foster family, I didn't go outside much at all. I
had always been in a 'special' class because of my mutness, so I knew barely anyone. And in the eyes of the
neighborhood elders, I was a shame to my adopted/foster family. All because of what I had done long ago...
When we passed the Shikon Institution, my eyes fell to the ground and a blush of shame came
upon my face. I hated living by that place. I hated the fact that I had lived there for three years of my life. I
hated the fact that that granite building haunted my dreams, with it's empty hallways and even emptier
patience. I hated myself for doing what I did to go there.
Kagome looked over at me, and patted my shoulder cheerfully. "Comeon, Rin, cheer up! You get
normal classes, like everyone else, and you don't know, maybe you'll find a special someone."
I looked up into my cheerful sister's eyes and tried my best to smile. She didn't understand, and I
doubt I could have explained. She was so happy, with Inu-Yasha, and her family, she wouldn't understand.
She couldn't. I smiled again, trying to relieve her worries, and I guess it worked, because she immediately
started talking about being able to see Sango and Eri and Miroku and Ayume and Ayame, and Inu-Yasha
and Kouga and etc etc.
When we arrived at Shikon High school, I was reminded how much it looked like it's mental
institution counter part. It was a huge building, with granite walls and even the odd gargoyle on the
balconies. In front of it where a swarm of young adults, all talking to the people they hadn't seen since
summer. I immediately lost Kagome in the crowd, and, making my way to the front gates, I ran right into
a pair of golden eyes. Thinking it was Inu-Yasha (who else could have gold eyes?), I bowed slightly, and
tried to walk around him, not even looking up. I tried.
"Girl, apologize!" Came a toadish and annoying voice at my left, while at the same time I felt
claws dig into my pale skin. Finally looking up, I saw a man I vaguely recognized as Inu-Yasha's half
brother, and... a toad. Yes, that's right, a toad and a...well, I couldn't describe him. He was beautful, with
long, flowing silver hair, and such a serious expression on his face. His eyes were glorious, as if there were
two miniature sunrises in those golden orbs. He was wearing the school uniform pants, but was wearing a
shirt upon shirt deal with one of those little neat catch phrases on it. "prepare to bow before my invincible
irony and sarcasm."
"Come'on, wench, speak up! One cannot just run into Lord Sesshou-Maru-sama and not beg for
forgivness!" I really wanted to hit that toad right then, but the clawed grip on my arm was bleeding, and I
was still lost in Sesshou-Maru-sama's eyes.
I bowed again, trying to get by, not because I wanted to leave the wonderful youkai, but so I
wouldn't bleed to death. "WENCH! You will apologize to Sesshou-Maru-sama, or we will have to....The
lord will have to destroy you!!" Said the toad, bruising my cheek with a staff from behind his back. I really
wanted to kill that toad.
Looking at the youkai again, I realised that harming his retainer, though fun, would not get me on
his good side. But I had no way to apologize except sign language, and I doubted that the toad would
understand a word of it!
*I apologize. Please forgive me, Sesshou-Maru-sama* I signed, trying my best to spell the man's
name. I wasn't a great speller, but I was pretty sure I spelled correctly, since his grip let up.
Releasing my arm entirely, Sesshou-Maru-Sama turned around and walked away, leaving a
confused toad and a thankful mute in his path. Giving me another wap for good measure, the toad ran after
him, his little legs waddling.
"Master! Master! Forgive me, but I'm confused! She did not apologize, but you released her!" He
said, his annoying voice penetrating my ears even half a hallway away. A resounding bonk followed, and as
I looked up at them, rubbing my pierced arm, I saw the toad on the floor, with swirly eyes, and a bump on
his head. The youkai boy was no where to be seen.
'Sesshou-Maru-Sama' I thought. 'I'll remember that....' On that note, with his image in my mind, I set off for my next class.
