Kagome sat nervously in her seat, tapping her pencil and biting at her nails awaiting the test. Leave it to Inu Yasha to get me back the day of the test! Kagome furiously thought. I had no time to study, and now I'm going to fail! Might as well tell grandpa to tell everyone I'm in a coma while I live in the Feudal era.... Kagome trailed off in shrouded thoughts until the principal burst through the door with a merry look on his face.
"Great news class, we have a new student, Akiko Minoru. Come in Akiko!" Squealed the principal, he was almost trying too hard to welcome the girl. He gestured Akiko to come in, and a girl with flowing dark brown hair and deep brown eyes that seemed to look into your soul. She blushed and shyly said:
"Hello, my name is Akiko, I moved here from Hiroshima." She quickly bowed so no one could see how red her face got from standing in front of the class for her public embarrassment.
The Principal quickly jumped in and asked if anyone wanted to show her around the school. Kagome almost knocked her chair over asking if she could show Akiko the school. A bit frightened from Kagome's enthusiasm, the principal nodded in agreement. Kagome jumped up and grabbed Akiko's hand and ran out of the class, leaving everyone in the dust.
Kagome took as long as possible, showing Akiko the whole school, from watching the boys on the track team run by many times, to her brothers art class, busying themselves finger-painting. Nearing the end Kagome smiled sweetly at her new friend and thought I can't believe she actually sat through my boring lectures! If I was her I would've run away! Though the two girls got along well Kagome sensed something strange about Akiko, not like a 'This girl is too quiet' weird, but a 'Mystical power' weird. That was pushed to the back of her mind behind her feelings for Inu Yasha and the fact she missed him A LOT, and the fact Hojo was coming to ask her out for the millionth time.
"Kagome!" Hojo called out after her, "Kagome wait up!" He reached Kagome and Akiko and gasped for breath. "Hey Kagome, if you're not doing anything this weekend, do you want to, you know, catch a movie?" He stuttered. Kagome was skimming through her mind looking for one more excuse.
"Sorry Hojo, I can't, I'm going to visit my grandma in... um.... another city." Kagome quickly said, all along in her head a voice was whispering 'buy it buy it buy it pleaseee!' Hojo looked away with a look of disappointment and turned back with a hurt smile and said he understood.
Kagome finished her tour as the bell rang for dismissal. "Woohoo! No class today!" Both Kagome and Akiko shouted and danced until they realized what the other said, they stopped and the giggled. "Hey Akiko, I'll see you Monday right?" Kagome asked, Akiko nodded and they both started off home. I hope I'll make it home though... Kagome thought.
Akiko reached her new house and did a cartwheel across the lawn joyfully shouting "I can't believe I made a new friend already!" While she was in mid-air Akiko realized that she had one of Kagome's books. She looked inside the book and found Kagome's address. "I guess I should return it..." Akiko ran inside and grabbed a map. "Oooo! Her house is within walking distance!" Akiko took Kagome's book and ran off to find her.
Akiko reached Kagome's house in no-time, but Kagome was walking towards an old shack with a huge bag full of... well everything. "Kagome wait!" Akiko shouted, but Kagome continued to walk towards the shed, Akiko ran after her. By the time Akiko reached it, Kagome was gone, not even a clue to where she was, only a well stood inside.
Akiko walked inside and was drawn to the well; she looked in it and saw nothing. A breeze began to blow out of the well, Akiko backed up. The wind started to draw her nearer with a stronger pull until Akiko fell in! A silver light surrounded her as she fell down, deeper and deeper into the well.
