She woke up to Sango shaking her yelling something about being late. Then it clicked, she was going to be late for her first class!
Kagome jumped out of her bed and ran to get dressed, Sango smiled while shaking her head. "Thanks for waking me up Sango!" Kagome called as she rushed out of the room.
Kagome bolted down the halls to the DADA room where everyone was already seated. She smiled as she walked up to the front, "And here I thought the students were the ones who were supposed to be late!" this caused everyone to laugh.
"Now, first off I want you all to call me either Professor Higurashi or just Kagome. I want to be your friend, not just your teacher. And pranks are allowed only as long as they're directed at me and are not harmful. But I have to warn you that the joke may end up on you." The students gave her disbelieving looks but she shrugged it off.
When she looked around she spotted Remus in the back looking quite interested. 'I bet that he's wondering how I'll hold up on my own. This will be lots of fun!' she thought.
A hand shot up from the middle row. "Yes?"
"How can you be a professor? You look to be only fifteen." A smug voice asked.
"Well Mr. Malfoy, I don't rightly know myself but I can be as good as any professor here. I trust Dumbledore's judgment." She snapped.
He just scoffed, Malfoy was about to say something when Remus cut him off. " Mr. Malfoy that is quite enough I suggest that you let Professor Higurashi finish her lesson. Go on Kagome."
"Thank you Remus. Now I have a question to ask all of you, what is a priestess?" she asked. She opened her drawer on her desk and gave Shippo some crayons to play with. She had put a concealment charm on him so he looked normal.
Finally a hand shot up, "Yes Mr. Potter?"
"A priestess is a spiritual being with advanced power beyond a witches or wizards. They even have the power to purify a demon into ashes. But no one has seen one for over five hundred years." He explained.
Hermione beamed happy to know that Harry had read something that had nothing to do with quidditch.
"I'm impressed Mr. Potter, you are correct. Who thinks that there are still priestesses around, raise your hand." She said as she began fiddling with her hair putting it into an odd hairstyle.
No hands shot up. "I see, if this was to count for your passing or failing I would have to fail you all! Seeing is believing. Don't any of you forget that, there is in fact one priestess that is alive. Anyway who has heard of the legend of the Shikon jewel?"
Everyone's hands shot up. "Good to know, now can anyone give a quick summary?" she looked around. " Mr. Wesley."
"The legend was about a girl who supposedly 'time traveled' and ended up in the Feudal Era. She accidentally shattered the Jewel and teamed up with a half dog Yokai, a demon exterminator, a monk, a kistiune kit, and a fire neko yokai. She was said to be the reincarnation of the Tragic Priestess Kikyo." Kagome nodded.
"Very good." She smiled. "Now, uh…" she forgot what she was going to say. "Well it seems that adults aren't the only ones with short-term memory." Everyone including her laughed at that. She pulled off her robe to reveal traditional Miko garbs.
Everyone's mouth hung to the floor, except Remus and Shippo's. She looked just like Kikyo! "Wait, I saw a woman that looked like that in the middle of the great hall." Malfoy sneered.
"That is because, Draco, I am her reincarnation. That was Kikyo, she was brought back from the dead and now she is back where she belongs." I said coolly. "So I suggest that you drop it while you have the chance." The rest of the class went along and before she knew it class was over.
" Professor Higurashi!" Three familiar voices chimed.
