The Shikon Effect: The World of Dreams

Chapter 3: Reikon Rosuto no Gakkou

Blue-gray eyes narrowed in confusion. One moment she was surrounded by spinning colors and the next she was sitting in a class room. The teacher was writing a difficult math problem on the board, but she paid no attention to her. She looked around the room... She didn't know a single person in the room! 'This can't be right' she thought as she began to panick. All the other students looked dull and lifeless, as if they didn't have souls. Well... except for the two brunettes sitting in the seats beside her.

She glanced at the one with normal honey brown eyes, he looked normal enough... He was as just as confused as she was. Then she studied the other boy, he has strange amber eyes... Besides that there was nothing unsual about him. He looked lost and starved... like a stray puppy on the street. "Ano... you guys are just as confused as I am, right" she asked. Both brown haired boys turned to her.

"Yeah, one second I was surrounded by colors... and the next I'm here" the brown eyed one with glasses one replied.

"Yeah... I'm starving. Do you think there's any food here" the amber eyed one asked.

"This is a school so of course there's gonna food in the cafeteria but that's not important right now" she said, getting annoyed... already.

"I agree, we need to focus on getting outta here and finding out where we are" the four eyes added.

Kagome smiled at him, she liked him already... 'Finally someone intellegent!' He smiled back slightly while blushing a little bit. "I'm Higurashi Kagome, nice to meet you" she offered, smiling at both of them this time.

"Murata Hajime, pleased to make your acquaintance..." the browned eyed one responded politely.

"Son Goku" the amber eyed grinned with slight enthusiasm.

"Now that he know each other... We need a plan" Kagome whispered as the teacher turned to them.

"Kagome! Hajime! Goku! Get out of my class room... NOW!"

Goku looked like he was gonna protest but Kagome & Hajime laughed nervously and pushed him out of the class room. All the while he yelled stuff like 'hey stop' or 'what the hell are you doing'. Once they all were in the hall way, Kagome closed the class room door then leaned against the wall.

"Okay... first... Maybe we should find out what school this is..." Kagome suggested, trying her hardest to think.

Goku half smirked half grinned," that's easy!" Hajime and Kagome watched as he swung the class room door open," hey lady, what school is this?"

"This is Reikon Rosuto no Gakkou... You should know that... You are a student here" the teacher giggled then glared at him," STOP INTERRUPTING MY LESSON!"

Kagome and Hajime sweat dropped,' mood swings.'

Goku shut the door as Kagome thought about the school's name,' Reikon Rosuto no Gakkou... Reikon Rosuto no Gakkou...' The name bothered her and saying it creeped her out. Hajime was also thinking about the school's name, chanting it in his head. Goku was... whining about how hungry he was.

Suddenly Kagome & Hajime yelled in unison," I got it! Reikon Rosuto no Gakkou is the School of Lost Souls!"

Goku blinked, still not realizing what they were getting at. Kagome explained," if this is the School of Lost Souls then that means... The students and teachers here doesn't have souls, right?"

"I.. think so. But if the students and teacher's didn't have souls then why did that teacher have weird mood swings? Shouldn't she be lifeless like the kids in the class room?"

"I dunno, maybe she's trapped here too..."

A large rumbling sound interrupted the brain storm and all eyes went to the monkey youkai, who blushed from embarassment. Kagome turned to Hajime," lunch?"

T.H.E.S.H.I.K.O.N.E.F.F.E.C.T.

Hajime watched in amusement as Kagome swiftly grabbed as many sandwiches and juices as possible while Goku did the same. Suddenly their hands grabbed the same sandwich. Their eyes locked and narrowed in unison.

"Let go saru-teme!"

"You let go sailor-bitch!"

He laughed as small bolts of lightning clashed against each other. Both of their grips tightened and like idots... they tugged on the sandwich, which caused the plastic wrapper on it to stretch and break. And so did the sandwich. Mustard, lunch meat, etc splattered on the arguing duo... Everyone paused... And Hajime laughed lightlywhile pointing at them. 'Saru-teme' and 'sailor-bitch' blinked and looked at each before joining in on the laughter.

T.H.E.S.H.I.K.O.N.E.F.F.E.C.T.

"Alright so we introduced ourselves... hand lunch... now what" Kagome asked as the trio walked through the hall way.

Before either of the two boys could answer moaning was heard. Not sexual or painful moaning but the moaning of a zombie. Suddenly a crowd of students turned the corner and slowly walked toward them. "Uh... can we help you" Kagome asked dumbly.

One of extended their arm out and grabbed Hajime. They pulled him close while biting him on the neck. Crimson blood ran down his tanned neck as he screamed. Kagome gasped and shoved the lifeless student away. Hajime fell from shock and Kagome caught him.

"Nyoi-bo!"

Goku's trusty staff appeared in his hand and he raised it up above his head and brought down... Intending to bash the student on top of the head with it. But Nyoi-bo went straight through him, as if he wasn't solid... It was like attacking air.

"What the hell?"

Goku swung at him again and again... But it still went through. Then it finally hit Kagome," I know why this is the school of lost souls! The students are merely spirits! But, why are they trapped in this school?"

'And what's with that teacher?'

"Yes Higurashi-san... you guessed it! The students in this school are in fact souls. They are souls that became lost from despair and hatred. Using their negative emotions, I control them to do by bidding" the voice of the teacher responded.

Kagome looked around but couldn't see her," what's with this place? You're the only teacher here!"

"Well of course, you don't think this is really a school do you? Soon you'll become one of these students, so I'll tell you what this place really is... Right now you're inside the model of a school with a spell on it... Soon the darkness in your heart will over come you, and you will become a lost soul just like them!"

Kagome unconsciously dropped Hajime as his weight became unbearable. "Oops" she exclaimed while covering mouth with her hand. She looked at his face... he was unconscious. 'Damn, I need to stop the flow of blood or Hajime is done for... But right now, we havta get to safety!'

"ReTRREEEEAAAAATTTTTTTTT!"
