I got my first ever review! Thank you rurede! The reason why I didn't
dramatize Kagome's angst, was because, in my head, I was thinking that she
had been crying non-stop for eight days-the amount of time from when she
found out to the move itself.This is my first fanfic, so constructive
criticism is definitely appreciated! When I write sometimes, I forget to
put stuff in so something may not make sense to you. If I do this again,
please tell me!
Ch 2
Kagome stood in front of the mirror, scanning her reflection for any imperfections. Her uniform was like her old one, but navy blue in the places her old one had been green. The color complemented her eyes and suited her complexion. Ayume had constantly told her that her skin was like the color of moonlight, though Kagome was always quick to laugh and tell her she was being silly. It just seems like something's missing, Kagome thought. She had an idea and opened up her jewelry box. In it's own special drawer, sat a yellow silk flower studded with rhinestones. It was a gift from her father that he had brought home from his last trip to America.
******(flashback)******
"What is it Papa?" a young Kagome asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
"It's called an orchid, Sweets," her father explained as her took it out of her hands and placed it into her hair. He held her at arms length and smiled at her. "You make it beautiful, Love."
Kagome giggled when her father kissed her; his mustache tickled.
******(end flashback)*****
That was the last time she had seen him, the plane crash had taken his life, along with 87 others. She placed it in her hair as he had done so long ago and stood back to admire the effect.
"mmrrrooowww," came a sound from the doorway.
"You like, Buyo?" Kagome said in response to her cat's sound of approval. Or perhaps it was the sound his kitty-mind produced when wanting to taste the thing she had decided to put in her hair.
"Too bad for you Buyo!" she grinned and made her way down the stairs. She stopped in the kitchen to down a glass of orange juice and grab a piece of toast.
"You had better get going sweetie, before you're late on your first day." Her mom said giving her a kiss and handing her lunch to her. "Your bag's by the door."
"Thanks Mom! See you after school!" Kagome yelled slinging her trusty yellow backpack on her shoulder, already halfway out the door.
**************************************************
She knew that if she kept staring, her eyes would probably fall out. This was her school? It was the most amazing thing she had ever seen! It was about five stories high and at least 8 times larger than her old school. Kagome felt tears start to form in her eyes. No, she told herself, I have done enough crying over the move. She made her way up the front stairs just as the 3-minute bell rang and decided that she had absolutely no clue as to where she needed to be.
"Excuse me," she tapped the shoulder of the nearest student. "Can you." She was immediately interrupted and confronted with the student on his knees, with her hand clasped in both of his.
"Heaven has surely smiled on me today," the student said, causing Kagome to doubt the boy's sanity. "Tell me angel, what do you call yourself?"
"Ka...Kagome," came the stuttered reply.
"Ah, a beautiful name for a beautiful woman," he continued "tell me, my angel, Kagome, will you bear my children?"
~Whump~
Kagome was now confronted with a very unconscious male student at her feet and an exasperated looking female student standing on the other side of him. The girl shook her head,
"Don't mind Miroku, he says that to everyone. My name is Sango, you must be a new student, otherwise, you would have never touched The Pervert."
Kagome quite taken aback with the whole fiasco, could only nod.
"Well then let me show you to the office, come on, before he wakes up and tries to grab your butt." Sango continued, looping her arm in Kagome's. By this time, Kagome had shed her paralysis and introduced herself.
"My name's Kagome by the way. Have you lived in Tokyo all your life?"
"Yep!" Sango replied "Where did you move from?"
"Matsue" she replied.
"Oh really? I've never been there."
And so the niceties of polite conversation continued. Kagome learned a lot about Sango. Her brother, Kohaku, went to the same school as Souta, her birthday was the day after her own, she was a junior like her, and she was into kendo. Kagome also learned a lot about the school. Sango told her about the hottest guy in school. Nearly every girl wanted to be with him.
"So what is his name?" Kagome asked, still wondering how one guy could m.
"Sesshomaru, he is probably the most gorgeous guy in Tokyo. His father owns Youkai Corp.," Sango replied, naming one of the most well known businesses in the industrial world.
But before Sango could go into further details of him, they were at the office.
"I'll come in with you and see if Principal Kaeda will let me show you around." She frowned "But it's not my turn to shadow a new student, so you'll probably have some random person do it instead." They entered the office and Sango led Kagome through the process. They were finally allowed to see Principal Kaeda, but to Kagome's dismay, Sango was not to show her around.
"Ahh you must be Kagome," Kaeda said. "I'm sorry but I have already called in the student who you are going to shadow; he should be here shortly. Sango, thank you, the secretary will write a pass for you to go to class."
Sango left the principal's office and Kagome heard a gasp then a squeal which she suspected came from one of the other girls waiting outside the principal's office. Before she could look out the open door to see what was going on when, a very tall, very handsome guy with the silkiest-looking hair she had ever seen ran into her and nearly knocked her over. He barely glanced her way, but when he did a look of annoyance crossed his features. Kagome was incensed; the least he could have done was apologize! So she voiced her thoughts:
"Hey!" she yelled angrily forgetting about the principal and where she was "Why don't you apologize, you jerk!" The young man's eyes briefly showed surprise.
"You shouldn't have been standing in the doorway," he said coolly, ignoring her comment that he was a jerk.
Kaeda interrupted before they could get the ball rolling on their argument. "Sesshomaru, you will be showing Kagome around the school, you both will be excused from the first three periods this morning as well. You two are excused."
"Hai Kaeda-sensei" came the answer. Sesshomaru led the way out of the office and immediately adopted a 3 foot lead on Kagome, which he kept until she said something, which was not long in coming.
"Slow down you moron!" she shouted "How do you expect me to become familiar with this school walking a zillion miles an hour!"
On the inside, Sesshomaru winced and imagined himself away from this loud.thing, but on the outside his face reflected no emotion, and he whirled to face the girl. The movement was so unexpected that Kagome ran face-first into his chest. "Owww!" the muffled voice said. Kagome looked up at him, her big cobalt eyes looking into his gold ones.
"You really need to watch where you're going" Sesshomaru said, unfazed.
"I need to watch where I'm going!" she sputtered, incredulously "You.you were the one who stopped with no warning right in front of me! You, you, you baka!"
This girl was quite interesting to provoke Sesshomaru decided. A small smile almost made it's way to his lips, but he caught himself just in time. "Well if you were walking next to me instead of behind me then you would not have ran into me." He replied, his face and voice deadpan. Wow that really is an interesting color he thought as he looked at her face. Kagome was indeed turning an interesting shade of purply-red and looked ready to burst. Fortunately (for Sesshomaru), the bell to mark the end of first period rang, startling Kagome.
She sighed "I could learn to hate that bell," she stated simply. She realized Sesshomaru was teasing her (and being a jerk) so she decided to just let it go and try to start off being a little nicer. "Could you please slow down a little? I can't walk as fast as you and I'm already really tired," Kagome said politely. Sesshomaru just stared blankly at her for a second. This girl changes moods so quickly he thought as he nodded. They started off as the halls cleared with the ringing of the last bell and Kagome couldn't help but notice all the stares of incredulousness and jealousy she got while walking with Sesshomaru. Nearly all were from girls. There were also a herd of them that had followed them around for a while, saying things in whispers about her and who she was, making Kagome very uncomfortable. Some had shirts with pictures of Sesshomaru on them, others wore long, silvery wigs that looked like his hair. Must be his fanclub. She laughed aloud, causing Sesshomaru to look at her curiously.
"Your name is really a mouthful to say," Kagome began thoughtfully "do you thing I can umm, shorten it or something? Like Sesshy or something?"
"No"
"Well how about Sess?" she pressed.
"No"
"Shomar?"
"No"
"Fluffy?"
"What?"
"Just kidding! Unless you like that name, Fluffy-chan." She said while batting her eyelashes. The look on his face was priceless she decided while laughing: his eyes had widened and he was looking at her like she had turned green or something equally unlikely. He growled and said "Cafeteria". Confused Kagome looked around and spotted the cafeteria adjacent to where they had stopped. Sesshomaru was deep in thought on the rest of the tour, speaking only the names of things Kagome should know of like 'gym' and 'restroom'. After a long mental battle with himself, he decided that he liked the sound of her laugh he decided. Kagome stayed cooperatively silent for a while, but soon tired of that.
"Garden" Sess said. He continued to walk, but Kagome stopped at the entrance and then continued in. Sess raised his eyes to the heavens and followed. Stupid girl.
******************************************************* "Wow this place is gorgeous!" Kagome exclaimed when Sess entered.
"Yes, now we have to keep going so I can show you where your classrooms are; you can explore later." Sess was slightly annoyed, but his face didn't show it.
"Alright," Kagome said following him out the door, giving the peaceful garden one last look.
*******************************************************
"Which classes do you have?" he asked as they walked to the stairs. Kagome got out her paper and gave it to him. He frowned as he read down the list.
"You take advanced classes?" he said, still frowning.
"Is that a problem?" she asked sarcastically "Oh I see, you must take the easy classes and not know where the advanced ones are!"
"The classes you have are nearly the same as mine." He snapped. No one has ever gotten to me like this girl has. And no one has been more exciting to provoke, a small voice inside his head answered. What was her name now? He looked on the paper: Higurashi, Kagome.
"Let's get going wench." Sess said concealing his inner amusement.
"WENCH?! WENCH?! I'LL SHOW YOU WENCH YOU."
*********************************************************
Well that's it for chapter two! Jeeze! Six pages! I have a question for anyone who has ever put a fic up on here; well a couple. How can I see whether my fic is like, the right title and everything? When I go to edit story, it just shows me a blank page. So in a nutshell, I have no idea what the heck I'm doing. Help will be greatly appreciated.
