Well, as you may have noticed I'm updating, I just couldn't help myself, I'm building up the plot and I'm loving it I just don't know how to reach it exactly, but I'll get inspired as I write. You may have noticed that on the first chapter I had a whole bunch of quotation marks at the bottom and then one after my name, well, that was supposed to be a symbol, hopefully it won't happen again. So far I have two reviewers and you guys have no idea how thankful I am, I didn't think I would get any so quickly, Thank you SO much.
momsdarksecret- you were the first to review, I love you! You're the coolest! Well, you'll see what's happening to Kagome later on in the story, it will all make sense. By the way I read your profile, and I think it's so cool that you're a mom and that you like watching anime and reading fanfiction.
shiroi-miko- Well, I can't wait either, Kagome already knows of Inuyasha, she just doesn't really know who he is. He goes to her school, but they don't really know each other..you'll see, I'll explain in this chapter. Thank you so much for reviewing!
Disclaimer: finish high school, go to college, own Inuyasha...ok, so that last one's going to be even harder, but it's on my list to do but for now, no, he's not mine
Here on Earth:
ch.2
I had to rush to class since my mind had wondered off into space once more, I seem to do that quite often. So I started running through the familiar mounds of faces and some unrecognizable ones. You see, I don't really know all these people but I'm an observer and I notice people, young and old. I look at their good and bad traits, eventually after seeing them everyday I get used to their familiar faces and they become a part of my everyday life.
The weirdest thing happened when I took a left down a hallway, this strange cold feeling ran down my back, and my body froze for a moment. I crouched on the floor and looked towards my side to ask for someone's help, however, what I saw instead was a girl with short black hair who ran past me and yet I got a pretty good look at her. For a second her eyes turned red and her body seemed to glow with an evil aura, my whole body went still and I was frightened. I wondered if she could sense my fear the same way I could sense her. But, then as quick as that feeling came it went away and I was back to normal. Had time just stood still for a while or was I imagining things?
I would've stayed crouched on the floor thinking for a little longer if it hadn't been for the "hurry- up" bell telling me to get to class, and quick. So then I got up and ran like my life depended on it.
I reached my class in time and took my usual seat at the back of the classroom. Then the late bell rung and class began.
By the time it was lunch I was already surrounded by my friends outside in the school courtyard where most kids went out for lunch and socialization. Well, they talked. I listened.
I had decided against telling them about my sessions with the psychiatrist since they had no clue about my dreams, I just didn't trust them enough to tell them even though they have been my friends for the past four years. No, it would be too embarrassing to admit that me, Kagome Higurashi, a 15 year old girl who has honor classes and is respected by her teachers has to see a psychiatrist because according to them I have some disease that makes me feel what's not there, it would be too awkward if I told them that. Knowing them, they's probably think I've gone insane.
Specially after today? Who was that girl?
She hadn't looked normal, her eyes were so cold and ...red, like blood. She scared me but I know I've felt her presence before, in my dreams, when we're fighting.
"Kagome? Are you alright? You wondered off into space again" said Yuka
"yeah, I'm fine, you should be used to this by now" I answered her.
"maybe, anyway Kagome, I hear Hojo wants to ask you out!"
"I heard that too! He's so cute! You guys would make a great couple!" that's the only thing Eri ever thinks about, couples.
"Um, I'm not interested, he's nice and all but I don't feel that way about him" I hear it all the time, how he wants to ask me out.
He has approached me before but I always manage to make up excuses for leaving before he pops the question (sound like he's going to ask me to marry him). If he did I don't think I could say no to his face, I'd feel like a monster afterwards.
"well, let's change the subject, she's wondering off again" one good thing about Arimi was that she always knew when to change the subject.
"oh! sorry, talk about something else, Hojo bores me"
Dude, that was mean, I should have thought about what I was gonna say before I said it.
But then Yuka said:
"you're right Kagome, he bores me too, let's talk about something more interesting" her eyes sparkled with excitement, they always do when she has something good to tell
"I heard Inuyasha just got out of the juvenile jail, was there for a month I think"
"he did!" screamed Arimi, she had a crush on him and just about any other boy who was a troublemaker but she herself would never date one "wasn't he there for fighting a lot?"
"yeah but the last straw was when he got in a fight with Kouga, then they sent him to juvi" answered Yuka
Oh great, they're talking about useless stuff again, this doesn't interest me at all! That Inuyasha guy is just a menace, he should have stayed there longer, like forever.
"why was that the last straw?" asked Eri
"well, because Kouga's rich and he sued Inuyasha after he beat the living crap out of him and since we all know Inu doesn't really have that much money then he couldn't pay for a lawyer so he lost the case and was thrown in juvi for a month" Yuka answered her question, you know I've always wondered where she gets all of her information from.
Then Arimi asked me "what do you think Kagome?"
I simply answered "I don't really care, his life is none of my concern and if wants to get into trouble then that's his business not mine"
"dude, cold" said Eri
I looked at her but I didn't care that she said that. I don't like people who don't appreciate life and who use their good qualities for bad, you see Inuyasha had been my best friend some eight years earlier but when he went to middle school since he's two years older he drifted off with the bad crowd, I don't even think he remembers me anymore.
What I mean by good qualities is that Inuyasha had always been very strong, when we were young he would be able to lift the back of a car almost without effort though not all of it, so imagine now.
Inuyasha had always been a strange guy, he had long silver white hair and golden eyes, and he always wore a cap. His senses were very sensitive and I always thought there was more to him than he let people know.
"I'm going for a walk guys" I told them and without waiting for a response I walked away leaving them to chatter with each other about useless junk.
It was a nice day, the sun was shining and there was a light breeze, you could hear the birds chirping up in the trees, they always do in this side of the school. Everyday during lunch I come to this place, the back of the school, it's always empty and there are many trees casting their long shadows. I like sitting under one of them, my favorite actually, the only Sakura tree in the whole school.
When I'm here I always think and I have my lunch at the same time. I bring my own lunch to school and I don't like eating with my friends, they're too loud and all they ever talk about is nonsense.
I started to look around me, I've always liked studying the scenery around me, no matter how it looks like. In this place I always find peace, however I did not know that today all of my peace would be disturbed.
"hurry up Miroku, you're too slow" came a voice from in front of me.
" Inuyasha, stop rushing, nobody is going to see us" the guy called Miroku answered.
Inuyasha was the first to see me, he stopped when he noticed me, I don't think he knew I was here and from what I can remember he had always been good at knowing these things, I guess he has lost his ability.
When Miroku finally caught up and saw me he said:
" except for this beautiful maiden" and he gave me one of the famous smiles that makes girls go crazy around this school.
Miroku is Inuyasha's best friend since high school I think, he's a flirt, and he loves women, every single one of us.
When he said that I didn't blush, I had developed some type of immunity to flirts and rarely blushed, so all I did was stare at him with an I-don't-care-go-away-right-now and an I-know-you're-skipping kinda look. What? Didn't you know I'm multi-talented when it comes to staring.
"tell me, what is a beautiful woman like yourself doing out here hiding her beauty from mankind?" he wasn't phased by my stare and instead he flashed me yet another smile of his.
"having lunch" my peace had been disrupted by these morons so I packed up and got up, I decide I would just wait in class until the bell rang.
"Do I know you?" asked stupid Inuyasha
"If you don't then why do you think I would remember?" was my smart-aleck response, and it felt good too. I mean okay, sure, I did remember him but I was not going to admit it!
He didn't seem to like my answer and at first seemed a little annoyed but then he changed to a neutral look and shrugged, he then started to walk away, as did I (opposite ways)
"wait! What's your name beautiful?" Miroku asked before I had completely left. I looked back at him and said:
"Kagome" and then I turned around, I could feel Inuyasha's golden eyes watching me as I walked away. And all I could do was wonder, did he remember me?
Ok, I know I didn't put any dream sequences in here but there will be in the next chapter, I promise. See, she kind of re-met Inuyasha today, does he remember her? I'm not gonna say, you're going to have to find that out on your own. I reallu hope you liked this chapter, it was so that you could get to know Kagome's life a little better, and about that girl at the beginning, well, there will most definitely be MORE of that, remember she hasn't had time to think about it yet, but she certainly will next chapter. Please review.(and once more, please excuse any typos)
