AN: I am really pissed off right now. My stepmom forced me to clean my room, change the sheets, and walk up and down three flights of stairs to do the laundry. Whats so bad about that? My fucking ankle is sprained, meaning if I put even a tiny bit of weight on it, it feels like it's fucking on fire. Holy SHIT it hurts! And she KNEW this to...damn.

Disclaimer: Yea. I'm thirteen and own Inuyasha. Sure. Sam is mine, the plot is mine, the academy is mine, and the characters are mine (well, except Kagome."

Chapter four:

academy

Remind me again why I'm doing this? Kagome thought as she sat in Sam's BMW. Not that it wasn't comfortable, it was, but Kagome just realized she had gotten into a strange vehicle with something that wasn't human.

"Sam." She stalled, unsure of how to ask her next next question without being tasteless.

"What am I?" He asked, flashing that disconcerting smile again. Kagome nodded, wary but curious.

"Your keeper. Well, sort of. You shall soon see, even as soon as we arrive, if you wish."

Kagome attempted to dust out her ragged dress. Here in this car, she felt so...disgusting.

The car was a beautiful shade of black, and unlike most cars, did not have the tiny scratches left behind by waxing a car. The interior was black leather, as was the carpet. Polished wood paneling lined the door, finished in a deep ebony.

The car stopped in front of a huge cast iron gate.

"We are here, Ms. Kagome." Leave it to Sam to state the obvious.

"Really? I thought we were here to pick up some milk." Kagome's sarcastic reply earned a soft grunt.

After stepping out of the building, Kagome noticed how grand it really was. The academy was shaped like a castle. It's walls were made of some sort of gray stone, with some sort of brown creeping ivy creeping up the side.

Sam gave a small smirk at Kagome's obvious awe. "Welcome home." He whispered, before taking her hand and tugging her towards the gate. She gave an intelligent squeak in response, before following him meekly.

"Now, Kagome, I would like to formerly welcome you home." Sam giggled at her as a loud, piercing bell rang. Student's poured out of the castle, heading towards giant steel buildings in the distance. She took a moment to study there clothing. The older ones were dressed in black leather bodysuits, the collar stiff and framing there necks, While the younger ones merely wore black sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

Kagome noted that both sexes had there hair cropped close to there heads, and gelled into a non-moving helmet. Each one wore an armband, ranging in color from a very light green to a deep purple. The armbands had varying amounts of stars on them. Interesting.

"Hey, Sam? Why is everyone wearing black, but no one is wearing a black armband?"

"The armbands signal there status. The darker the armband, the higher their potential. Black armbands are allowed to be worn only by the elite. The stars signify their rank" He answered offhandedly.

Well, curiosity killed the cat, so... "What color am I going to be?" She asked warily, although she knew the answer.

Sam smirked. "Why, black, of course! You are the Dark Flame, therefore your potential is immense, making you one of the elite. 02! 03! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!" Sam shouted, and immediately eight people drew away from the mass and jogged over to them. All of them had dark purple armbands, almost completely filled with stars. Kagome gulped as she realized that each of them were wearing leather, and they did not look happy.

"Yes, sir?" One of them asked after reaching them. She was tall, maybe even reaching six feet. She had a small chest, with long, lean arms and strong legs. Her dark brown hair was cropped short, and her chocolate eyes were squinted in disgust at Kagome. She had a pointed chin, delicate nose, and high, thin eyebrows. When she spoke, white teeth flashed in her mouth.

"Ah, Leah, I would like you to meet Kagome. Kagome, this is Leah," he pointed to the woman Kagome was studying earlier.

"Aiden," He gestured to a man who glared coolly at her. He had curly red hair cut off in a buzz cut, and round green eyes. His skin was tanned, and marred by a thick white scar that went from the top of his eyebrow all the way to his lower jaw. His nose had a lump in the middle of it, and was slightly crooked, signaling it had been broken once. Aiden was not very tall, only about 5'7.

"Aaralyn" Aaralyn cocked her head and eyed Kagome warily. She was the same hight as Aiden, with dirty blond hair slightly longer in the front. She had deep blue eyes. Framed by slightly thick brows. Her face was round, with full lips and a button nose. She had long eyelashes, and a thin neck. Her limbs were slim, and she had a fairly large chest.

"Rhys" A boy cocked his eyebrow, making her feel uncomfortable in his gaze. His eyes were so dark brown they were almost black, and slanted in and oriental way. He was short and compact, with deeply tanned skin and neat hair. Rhys' eyebrow was twitching in annoyance, and Kagome found herself challenging his glare before she knew what she was doing.

"Leila" Kagome recognized this name. It meant 'dark as night'. Leila had ebony hair, thick and shining in the light. Her skin was pale, and she sported a scar than ran underneath her left eye, across her nose, and ended at the start on her right eye. Her eyes were a pure black, and she was almost as tall as Leah.

"Lilith" Lilith sported shining chestnut hair and brilliant emerald eyes. Her armband was slightly darker than the others, and she wore a cocky smirk. Unlike the previous girls, Lilith wore red lipstick and full eye makeup, perfectly applied and slightly smeared. Her breast her huge, nipples straining to get out of the fabric. Lilith's pants were tight, vaginal lips clearly outlined, showing she was wearing no underwear. From the way her hips were stuck out, Kagome guessed she was probably not a virgin. Kagome hated her immediately.

"Sachiel" He was beautiful, looking almost like a woman. His eye's searched hers, and he frowned slightly. Kagome did not want to get him angry. Sachiel stood like a cat, with lean muscles and tight and ready to spring. Light gray eyes and thick black lashes made his gaze intense. His hair had traces of gel in it, although it was not slicked back like the rest of the students. Instead, it framed his face in messy black locks, there ends reaching the middle of his eyes. He lazily pushed them away, and continued to look at Kagome. Sachiel had a straight nose, and full, pouting lips. His skin was extremely pale, and from the way he was standing in the shade Kagome guessed he hated the sun.

"Jibril" He was not intelligent, Kagome immediately decided. Just brawn. His muscles were thick, looking like a bodybuilder. His blond hair was over gelled, and he had a thick neck and square chin. He wore a smirk on his face, and gave Kagome a look that made her bristle. It was just like those other men had, the ones who wanted to rape her. He was easily 6'5, and Kagome wanted to kill him.

"Well, Kagome, what do you think?" Sam snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Huh? What do I think? What do you mean?" She ever so intelligently replied. Lilith's smirk widened, and Kagome glared at her.

"About 02 and 03, Kagome. This is an evaluation, so I will know where to put you." Kagome studied them again, before coming to a conclusion.

"Leah is a runner, the one used for guerrilla warfare. Aiden is used for fighting up close, making him ideal for fight clubs and other illegal places where important underground figures are often found. Aaralyn is used for spy work, as she is quite plain looking, no offense, and she is also good at grappling. Rhys is a poison, acid, and explosion expert, as his hands are covered in burns and scars. Leila is a weapons expert, mainly used for night sniping, and she has a patient temper. Lilith is the slut, used to distract men. She is also intelligent, so even the most wary man can be tricked into following her, where she will most likely screw him before killing him, ruining his reputation, to. Sachiel...Sachiel is used for night combat, with stealth, and hand to hand combat. Jibril is just used for muscle.

When she was finished in her short narrative, Kagome received various looks of shock. Only Leila and Sachiel kept straight faces, although there eyes were widened also. After a couple of silence, Lilith regained her composure.

"Oh, very good sir, she can repeat what someone already told her. Why is she here?" She snappily asked, all the while glaring at Kagome.

"She is here to be trained." Sam replied.

Lilith tsked. "send her home to her parents. She looks younger then any student here!" Kagome frowned at her, the glared, and corrected her automatically. "Parent. My Daddy is dead. And besides, I'm disowned."

"Oh, poor baby. What happened, daddy die from cancer and mommy decided it was to painful to be around his daughter?" She asked in mock sympathy.

"Nope. Killed Daddy, mommy threw me out." Kagome answered offhandedly.

Lilith's mouth formed a small 'o'. Sam was watching this entire debate with a large smirk on his face.

"Leila!" He snapped.

She jumped to attention. "Sir!"

"Go fetch me a black armband, and...the shikon jewel." He asked with a small smirk on his face.

"Sir! Does this mean...?" She asked with evident shock.

"Yes, Leila, Kagome is the Dark Flame."

Done! And it only took an hour of my precious time! Be thankful.
