Chapter 2-The search for reasoning
(beep...beep...beep..beep.beep-beep-beep...)
"Urghhhh..." Kagome groaned slightly as she tilted her head and reached for the alarm clock.
"This is not my day...and where's the freaking alarm clock?" She glanced around her room, then turned back on her bed, "Sango! If you're hiding my alarm clock again, it's not funny!"
(BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP...)
"Arghhhh... that clock has a psychotic death wish..."Kagome mumbled as she searched frantically around her room. "Sango! Get in here and help me find that damn alarm clock!"
"Ok...ok, knowing you...you must have picked a really good hiding spot this time..." Sango walked into Kagome's room sleepily.
"Well, I'm sorry if I get bored with my alarm clock being in one place, and-what are you doing?"
Sango looked down and grinned, "Multi-tasking."
"With a toothbrush?" Kagome felt her left eye twitch.
"Sure...seeing as how you programmed your alarm clock an hour behind, so now we only have 30 minutes before class starts..." Sango continued to brush her teeth.
"WHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT? Sango, why didn't you tell me this 5 minutes ago?" Kagome fumed.
"Well, you seem to be getting up on the wrong side of something today...and lately, it's pissing me off." Sango crossed her arms while she continued to brush her teeth.
"How, exactly, am I pissing you off?" Kagome stood up defensively as she flicked her long ebony hair back in disgust.
Sango scoffed, "Look at the way you're acting lately, you're worse than a menopausal Martha Stewart..."
"Look...this whole Inuyasha thing, is not my fault, obviously he gets some weird demented pleasure out of kissing random women that faun over him, and you certainly didn't help..."
"How did I get brought into this? I just wanted to see him in person, it was the biggest talk in town...besides, I didn't hear you complain even once about him kissing you..."
Kagome stared at Sango, "What on earth makes you think I enjoyed it?"
(BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP)
"Don't lie Kagome, you were in a trance, you're lucky I woke you up..."
"Actually, I was disgusted to the point beyond...well...beyond, and nothing is going to make me change my mind!" Kagome made sure of herself as she looked around, "Besides...it's not like I'm going to see him again, much less get within ten feet of him.
"Sure...that's what they always say...right before they fall head over heels..." Sango looked at her watch, "Umm...Kagome, why don't you just forget the alarm clock, you'll find it sooner or later...if you don't die at school first."
Kagome looked up at Sango with a startled look, "What are you talking about?"
"You'll see..." Sango smirked, "I'm going to get ready, hurry up, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah sure." Kagome mumbled as she grabbed a light-blue t-shirt and a pair of dark-denim jeans.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I won't stand for it!" A loud fist pummeled the desk before Inuyasha, belonging to a man of 6'1", dark, long, wavy hair and intense eyes.
"Calm down Naraku...it's my trademark...what can I say? I'm truly devoted to the heartthrobs of my fangirls..." Inuyasha grinned as he swivelled his chair to the window and sat down staring at the city below him from his office.
"Sir Inuyasha...you cannot keep doing this to me, all this publicity...it's no good for your image...what would your father think? Your father-"
"-You will be well advised to keep my father out of this..." Inuyasha continued to stare out of the window, "I can do whatever I want, you have no authority over me..."
"Please, think about what you are doing to your future, you keep bringing the critics into this, and soon, the Takahashi family name will be dishonored, I will not tolerate this behavior from the son of my greatest friend..." Naraku turned to Inuyasha's desk of files that were being sorted for future events.
"I can assure you that I will be fine, and don't worry about those files, I've been deciphering what to do with the press conferences, they won't get their hands on the forbidden file."
"I certainly hope not..." Naraku turned to the secretary who sat in the corner typing up documents, She had long ebony hair put up into a bun, a small body of 5'4", probably no heavier than 100 lbs., and red eyes that seemed to pierce the soul. "Kagura, tell the main office that Mr. Takashi will be taking no more interviews today..."
"Yes sir." With a bow, she left the room with swift endurance.
Before turning to leave the room, Naraku took one swift glance at Inuyasha, "You know I only wish for your happiness..."
"Inuyasha stared at his hands in contemplation, "Don't worry, you'll be out of power soon enough."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kagome glanced at her digital portfolio, "Perfect, all perfect..." she smiled to herself as she and Sango walked towards the school.
"Oh, that's why you were taking pictures yesterday..." Sango looked over at Kagome who seemed to be very pleased with herself.
"Yep...I want to make sure my project is an A plus..." Kagome smirked as she looked over to see a worried Sango. "Sango? What's wrong? You seem uneasy..."
"Hmm? Oh...it's nothing, I'm not feeling very well..."
"Do you need to see the nurse?" Kagome put a hand on Sango's shoulder.
"No...I'm fine, well, I'll see you after class Kagome!" Sango waved as she ran off in an opposite direction.
Kagome just stared after her, then shrugged her shoulders.
Later in class...
"Now it's time for Ms. Higurashi's portfolio presentation, please hook up your portfolio to the screen and adjust as you see fit..."A young woman with dark hair, brown eyes, and small stature stood at the front of the room, she resembled Kagome so much the class assumed they must be related somehow...
"Yes Ms. Kikyo..." Kagome got up with a tremble and mumbled to herself, "It's all right...I'll be okay..."
In a few minutes, Kagome had set up her portfolio and began presenting, slowly going through her photos one by one.
"-And this is the last one, you can see here how the color contrast is much brighter in the center than the background colors, thus producing a more dramatic effect. Just a replica from the previous photo in its natural color that was meant to be seen. Well, that's it, Ms. Kikyo."
Ms. Kikyo clapped, "Very good Kagome, please hand in your portfolio-"
"-There's one more photo left..."
The class turned their heads in shock at the doorway, for, lo and behold, there stood Inuyasha Takahashi in all his glory.
"Excuse me, do you have business here?" Ms. Kikyo walked over to the young boy leaning against the door.
He held up a paper in front of her face, "New transfer student, I start today."
"O-of c-course, please, take a seat Inu-I mean, Mr. Takahashi.." Ms. Kikyo stammered, not believing her eyes, as she too, was a secret fan of the international super-model.
Inuyasha found his way to the only empty seat in the back.
"Mr. Takahashi, I'm afraid that seat belongs to Ms. Higurashi..." Ms. Kikyo stated as she twiddled her thumbs nervously.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled devishly, "Well, I'm sure Ms. Higurashi won't mind if I warm her seat up for as she continues to present her portfolio.
Kagome gulped as she felt a twinge of anger run up her spine, managing to control her rage, she continued. "Finally the last picture..." Kagome pushed the button in hope that the picture wasn't what she thought it was.
I'm sorry guys, I'm stopping here, but please review and tell me what you think so far..thanks.
