~*~*~*~* Chapter 2 ~ She's One of The Best Students We Have *~*~*~*~

"Please sit down." Souta and I quickly took the seat in front of the headmaster. The headmaster smiled and then look at me.

"Normally my partner, Mrs. Kaede, will handle you, as you are going to be, of course, in the girls' dormitory. But right now she's busy with something and."

Without any warning, the great door opened and out came a short, old woman. She seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Aaah, Kaede, I thought you were off with the kids?" The headmaster said, rising to his feet.

"Totousai! Those kids will never learn! From year to year, they always look for a fight. And this just happened to be the first 2 weeks of the school year!" Mrs. Kaede shouted.

"Oh, I see. Of course it will be Naraku and."

"Inu Yasha of course!" Mrs. Kaede then took a deep breath and seemed to only have noticed Souta and me. Her bad tempered face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a very big smile.

"You must be Kagome Higurashi and Souta Higurashi, am I right?"

I can feel Souta nagging beside me, telling me to answer Mrs. Kaede.

"Umm, yeah."

Mrs. Kaede's smile, if possible, widened.

"Good, I have been expecting you. Come here, Kagome. And Souta, sit where you are. Mr. Totousai will be the one who will give you the explanation. Alright, here, Kagome, sit."

She sit down in her big, black chair, opposite from Mr. Totousai. I glance and noticed that the headmaster had already started explaining things to Souta.

"Welcome to the School of Four Souls. As you can see, this school is one of the best boarding schools in Japan. I have received your last report and your grades are very much above satisfactory and therefore, we have no need to question you about your studies.

"Now, about your room. Each student in this school will have a roommate, and we tried to put you with the most suitable friend. This school have no less than 20 buildings. The 12 buildings are used for the student's dormitories. Each building for the student's dormitories have 25 rooms, which meant that 50 students live in the same building. Oh, except for the junior kids, they will have 12 rooms, but one room will be used for 3 children.

"The girls' dormitories are named after flowers and the boys' will be named after animals." I laugh at the thought. But then stop abruptly at the look of Mrs. Kaede. "Your dormitory is the 'Lotus'."

"One of the buildings is used for the teachers, that is, including me. Another one will be used for eating, you can call it the canteen if you want. The next building will be the gym. And the rest are all used for school."

I blinked. I didn't know this school was so big. 20 buildings? Wow! Mrs. Kaede smiled at me.

"Now, for the rules. There are a lot of rules in this school but there are only 7 that you have to remember and should never forget. Here, you just have to read this and think about it."

She handed me an envelope that was sealed by a weird symbol.

"I guess that's all I can say. I have to show you where you are going to stay. Okay, let's go then."

She stand up, and I quickly followed her. It was only then that I realized Souta had left.

~*~*~*~* 5 MINUTES LATER *~*~*~*~ "Here, this is your room key. Your roommate, of course, has the another key to this room."

"Um, who will be my roommate?" I asked timidly.

"Oh, you'll soon find out. She's a very good girl, even though she seems to have a few problems. but she's one of the best students we have. in sports, not in education." Mrs. Kaede added as an afterthought. She smiled at me and then opened the room with my keys.

It is a beautiful room, almost as big as mine back home. But instead of having one bed only, there are 2 four - poster beds. The floor was covered in peach-colored carpet that rub my shoes softly. I quickly noticed 2 squashy looking sofas in front of the wardrobes. Right beside the sofas, I also look into 2 study desks that was already equipped with a few things.

There are also a circular window that, instead of showing the school building, it shows the scenery of forests and mountains. I quickly turned around from the beautiful view when Mrs. Kaede said something,

"This is the bathroom," explained Mrs. Kaede. I joined her to see the bathroom. It is already decorated by whoever my roommate is. Stacks of soaps, shampoos, and a couple of clean towels were already put into a very weird pile in an orange cupboard. There is a huge mirror on one side and beside it was another cupboard. This time, however, it is colored shocking pink.

"That will be your cupboard." Mrs. Kaede pointed at the cupboard I had been observing. "And."

She went back to the room.

"This will be your wardrobe." She took my keys and select one from the three of them (one for the main door, one for the wardrobe, and one for my desk) and walk to the old wardrobe.

"You are welcome to arrange your things however you like them, as long as your roommate agree to that. Remember you two are sharing rooms. Oh, it seems that your luggage are here. Alright then, I'll leave you to sort things out. If you need anything, just contact me or Mr. Myoga. He's the caretaker of this building. I hope you enjoy your stay in this school. Bye." And Mrs. Kaede left, leaving me with my luggage and my keys.

"Well," I sighed, "better start opening my things and make my side of the room comfortable." just then, the door opened with a bang.

Out came a pretty girl who have a long hair tied up somewhere near the end. She seemed to be in a rush. The girl looked surprise at the sight of me. Her small, cute cat give a soft meow and the jumped out and curled around her bed. She seemed so surprise to see me there that she had forgot why she had come to her room.

I can feel my face blushed and I turned away. I swear she didn't try to glare at a different reaction. That is until after a few seconds. She began to clear her throat and speak,

"Ehem, so. you're the new roomie Mrs. Kaede's talking about, aren't you?" I don't think I can use my voice so instead I just nodded. She smiled and seemed to observe me more intently, before she realized what she was doing and then blushed.

"Um, alright. So, what's your name? I mean, sorry. That's so impolite. I suppose I have to tell you my name first. So. The name is Sango. Now. what's yours?"

"Kagome. Kagome Higurashi." I said quietly. Sango's eyes suddenly turn wide.

"Hi. Higurashi?! So, you're. like. em.the second richest person in Japan? Or probably even the first?" I blinked, and I blushed again.

"Uh, yeah, probably."

"Wow." Sango breathed. I look away, I wish she'd stop that. It's not like I want to be a rich person.

"So. um, why did you come here in the first place?" I asked her, hoping she will stop staring at me. Sango suddenly jumped.

"Oh yeah! I forgot, I'm supposed to bring my history project down to Mrs. Muonna. See you later then, um. Kagome." She dug deep under her wardrobe and pulled what look like a week worth research. She smiled at me and then leave the room.

As I began to unpack my belongings and put them neatly on my bed, I noticed Sango's side of the room (I don't know where her cat has gone off to). She have a lot of photo-frames. I know I'm not suppose to look other's belongings without their permission but I don't think Sango will ever know. So I walk over and observe her pictures.

On the first picture, I saw Sango and two guys that look kind'a cute poised up into a very weird action. One of the guys have a black hair that was tied into a tiny ponytail. The other guy have silver hair that look very cool.

I glance and look for the second picture. The same people were stuck into that frame. And also the third picture, and the fourth, and the fifth. It seemed that Sango had known these guys since she's no more than 10 years old.

On the sixth (the last) photo-frame however, there is a picture of (I think) Sango's family. There is an old man and a small boy and then Sango herself. All of them look very happy.

I suddenly noticed that I was sitting in Sango's bed. I stand up and hear the knocking of my door. I quickly run over to the door and open it. And there stood Mrs. Kaede and Souta. Mrs. Kaede smiled.

"Kagome, are you ready to be introduced to the whole school?"
