Kagura walked through the gates at the back of the school and into the small town. It was extremely wet outside from yesterday's rain. Mud had even washed into the streets. She had a feeling she'd be up late that night cleaning her shoes off...
She walked into a near-by tavern and sat down at the bar, "I'd like a root beer float, please."
The bartender looked her over and noticed her red eyes, "Sorry," he said is his slightly-slurred voice, "but we can no longer serve demons. Please leave..."
Kagura, too tired to argue, stood up and left the tavern, eyes directed toward the ground. She turned and continued down the street- or tried to. She ran into someone.
Looking down, he raised his eyebrows. He saw black hair. The woman who had run into him looked up and backed away. Her red eyes were so alluring...
"Oh! I'm so sorry, sir... Please... Accept my most sin-"
"No need to apologize, my dear. Please, allow me to buy you a drink? You look exhausted..." The man had flowing white hair and golden eyes. He was dressed in a formal army uniform. His smile was worth a million dollars with his soft, deep eyes.
Kagura was lost in a daze. She couldn't even say yes or no and she peered into his eyes.
The man's smile grew, "I suppose I'll take that as a yes," he said, gently taking her hand and leading her down the streets to a hidden tavern. As they entered, Kagura noticed every single person in the small building was a demon.
They sat down at a table, "My name is Sesshomaru Toukijin. I'm pleased to meet you."
Kagura looked back at him, finally being able to draw herself from his eyes, "My name is Kagura Windancer... It's a pleasure to meet you."
"You look as though you're form Tokigiro Finishing School for Girls. The outfit is impressionable on one from this town- so bland."
Kagura couldn't help but laugh, "I know... It's terrible... but I have no other choice."
Their drinks soon came and they continued to talk. They covered many subjects, but the time got away from them as quickly as it had come.
"Oh, no!" Kagura shrieked as she looked up at the clock, "I was supposed to be back ten minutes ago!"
Sesshomaru laid the money on the table and hurried Kagura from the tavern, "I hope I do not get you in trouble..."
Kagura shook her head and smiled, "No... Even if I did get in trouble it would not be your fault. I really enjoyed our time in the tavern... And thank you for the drink."
As they neared the gates, Sesshomaru stopped her, "I would like to see you again. Unfortunately, I can only come here on Wednesdays... Would you like to meet again at the same tavern next week?"
Kagura smiled, "Of course. I'll see you then," she said as she rushed past the guards back to her dormitory.
InuYasha slammed Hojo in to the locker, "You had better stay away from my woman... I will be sure that you don't come here again if you even think to lay a hand on her... got it?"
Hojo looked at him with frightened eyes, "Of course... I would never think of crossing you, InuYasha... Forgive me..."
InuYasha let him go, watching his body fall to the floor, "Punk. Watch it, ok? I hate when people cower in fear at my feet... It's disgusting." He turned sharply and walked away. The buses were loading and he was going to be late if he messed around with the punk any longer.
He finally arrived home. He checked the mail, and flipped through it. He stopped dead as he read the title on one of the envelopes: Request to be called to Military Educating. He dropped the mail in the entry. He was stunned. Could this mean... had he been recommended to go to military school...? He fell to his knees. His worst fears had come true. He'd have to leave his friends behind... Miroku, Sango... Kikyo... He would have to leave Kikyo behind. How would he live without her?
Shaking, he bent down and picked the envelope up. He tore it open carefully and extracted a sturdy piece of paper. Unfolding it, he read:
Dear House Occupant,
It has come to our attention that you are of the age 17 and are living alone. You have been having trouble in your school and have been recommended to be sent to Kimigara's Military School for Boys. You will leave this up and coming Monday. A bus will arrive at your home at approximately 6:45 am. Bring any valuables, but outfits will be provided.
Sincerely,
Kimigara Headmaster and staff
InuYasha shook his head. Was he... did he actually have tears in his eyes? 'No,' he thought, dropping the letter. 'It'll be a breeze. It's all boot camp- easier than the classes I'm in now...'
GI: A lot covered, so I figured added Kagome in would bee too busy... Sorry guys!
