A Mark Of Fire

Chapter Two

Kagome ran until she had arrived at the front of her high school and gulp nervously before she took a step towards it. Later, a boy bumped into her, and expecting a burn, she surprisingly didn't get one.

"Sorry!" the boy apologized.

The boy who she had just bumped into had long black hair, up to his waist, and violet eyes, and was wearing the boy's uniform.

Inuyasha said, "Name's Inuyasha. What's yours?" as he offered his hand.

"Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said, afraid to touch his hand.

Inuyasha noticed this and frowned. He just grabbed Kagome's hand and shook it.

"Hey, you do that when some one is offering you a hand, alright?" Inuyasha said as he walked away.

Kagome stared her hand in shock and whispered, "Why didn't I get burned..?"

Kagome glanced at the school clock and uttered, "Oh god, I'm going to be late!" and ran towards the school building.

When Kagome went inside, she walked into her classroom and took her seat, which is in the front of the row. When she took her seat, the teacher, Ms. Yura, said, "Good morning, class! Today, we have a new transfer student! Please welcome, Inuyasha Taishou!"

Then ablack haired boy, which Kagome recognized from the morning and let out a silent gasp.

"Hey, I'm Inuyasha, and it's cool to be here." Inuyasha introduced casually.

"Now, Inuyasha, why don't you take a seat behind Ms. Higurashi?" Ms. Yura suggested, then facing Kagome, she said, "Ms. Higurashi? Care to raise you hand?"

Kagome did as what she was told and raised her hand. Inuyasha just sat behind her and said, "Nice to meet you, again."

"Yeah.. Nice to meet you too." Kagome replied.

"So, why were you acting weirdly this morning?" Inuyasha asked, as he poked his pencil on Kagome's back.

"None of your business." Kagome answered sternly.

"Oh, come on!" Inuyasha said, as he poked pencils more on Kagome's back.

Kagome turned around and snarled, "Would you mind stop doing that?"

Inuyasha smirked, "I'll stop, only if you tell me why you were acting weird this morning."

"No, I rather keep that personal." Kagome answered.

"Oh, come on!" Inuyasha urged to Kagome to answer.

"No, and stop bugging me!" Kagome said.

"No." Inuyasha answered.

Sighing, Kagome raised her hand and said, "Ms. Yura! The new transfer student is bugging me!"

"Inuyasha, do we need to talk?" Ms. Yura asked.

"No, Ms. Yura." Inuyasha answered.

For the rest of the day, Inuyasha tried to bug Kagome to answer his answer question, but she would always avoid him.

When Kagome arrived at her home, she said, "I'm back!" and went inside.

Kagome walked up to her fridge and got a cup of orange juice. She drank it and said, "Ahh, it's so good!"

Kagome put the orange juice away and saw Souta entering the house. She said, "What's up, Souta?"

"Oh, not much." Souta answered.

"Okay. Well, I'm going to go upstairs and do homework, okay?" Kagome said.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever." Souta said.

Upstairs, Kagome was doing homework until a vision of Kikyo appeared in her mind.

"Hello, Kagome, I have come to discuss some things to you." Kikyo said.

"What things?" Kagome asked.

"That I noticed that today, in the morning, you touched a boy, and you didn't get my burn?" Kikyo answered.

Kagome nodded, so she hopefully asked, "So, is my curse gone?"

"Unfortunately for you, no." Kikyo answered. "But I don't know why you didn't get a spark when you touched him.,"

Kagome shrugged, "Well, maybe he's super weird enough."

"No.. Maybe.. No, it's impossible." Kikyo said.

"What is?" Kagome asked.

"Never mind, but never more, your punishments have gotten harsher, as you can notice, soon, your mark will become physical." Kikyo explained, as she began to shimmer.

"Wait! Kikyo!" Kagome called out, but Kikyo was already gone. "I had more questions.."

Kagome walked over to her couch and sat on it. She wondered, 'I wonder why I didn't get a burn when I touched the new transfer student? And what was Kikyo thinking, that she won't tell me?'

Sighing in frustration, Kagome thought, for the last time before she started her homework, 'All this curse thing is confusing!' and began to do her homework.
