Mistresses of the Shikon

By: Chrysolite Pond

"Students of Tremertans highschool, this morning we have a special announcement that we are having a competition for dancing, you must enter in partners, and the sign up sheets will be hung on the bulletin board outside of the auditorium."

Kagome Higurashi sighed. She would definitely be signing up for this, she thought to herself. But who to take as a partner, she wondered to herself. She looked around the room for an idea. Well, she could take Sango if Sango was interested; she could take….well that's just about it. When the bell rang for next class Kagome hurried to follow Sango to her locker. "Hey Sango, did you hear that announcement?" Kagome asked. "Yeah, but I'm not interested, and I can't anyway, I have boomerang classes after school, I couldn't possibly join up for that," Sango explained. "Oh…" Kagome sighed. She shrugged modestly. "Well, ok then," Kagome said. She turned around and found herself suddenly sprawled on the floor. "Oh I'm sorry!" a young feminine voice called to her. She looked up into a brilliant bright face. She knew this face and her own face turned beet red. "I'm so sorry Kikyou!" she cried. Kikyou's face turned surprised. "It was nothing; I guess I just wasn't really watching where I was going, that's all!" Kikyou told her. "I guess…" Kagome replied. This didn't seem right. Everyone had said that Kikyou was mean and spoiled, never nice to anyone even though she was popular and had her own fan club. "Hey, I'm sorry if you're upset, are you hurt?" Kikyou questioned. "No," Kagome said, shaking her head quickly. "So, are you entering the contest?" Kikyou asked. "I was going to, but I don't have a partner," Kagome said sadly. "Hey, same here!" Kikyou exclaimed. Kagome looked up at her in surprise. "Really?" she asked doubtfully. "Yep," Kikyou nodded. "So, wanna be partners?" Kikyou questioned hesitantly. Kagome nodded vigorously. "I sure do! Come on lets go sign up Kikyou!" Kikyou smiled at her. "Sure thing partner," she replied. She turned back giving her gang a wink before linking arms with Kagome and hurry off to the bulletin board in front of the auditorium. Kikyou grabbed a turquoise pen from her pocket and wrote both of their names neatly on the sheets.

Sign Up Sheets

KikyouSi-kara and Kagome Higurashi

"Wow," Kagome breathed. "You have really nice writing…" Kikyou grinned. "Everyone says that." She said. They looked over to the next sheet and read the instructions for the competition. They had to choose a song and make up a dance for it. The songs must be appropriate. The best song and dance wins! "How 'bout coming over to my place after school to choose a song, I have a whole ton of CD's that we can choose from," Kikyou suggested. "Sounds good to me!" Kagome chirped. "Great, meet you at my locker after school, ok?" Kagome nodded. Kikyou scurried off to her next class and Kagome sighed as she watched Kikyou's long black hair flow behind her.

End of Chapter 1, Author's Note: Inuyasha's going to be coming in soon. Kikyou and Kagome are both going to drool after him. Which one he chooses, you'll find out. But they both get a guy in the end, and they're both still gonna be friend. END END END!
