Chapter 2
Present Time:
(Kagome's Dream) "There's so much blood!" Kagome's eyes dart back and fourth between Lana's and Mikey's bodies. "This is all my fault!" Kagome shoots up from her bead, sweating heavily. "Just a dream. No…just a memory." She pushes the covers off of her and gets up. She walks to her bathroom and turns on the water in her shower. She goes back into her room pulls out a black shirt with the words "I only talk to myself when the computer's mad at me" in bright yellow. She lays out some dark blue jeans and then goes back to her bathroom and prepares for the first day of school at Shikon High.
15 minutes later:
Kagome walks downstairs and out the front door. She goes into the garage and opens the driver side door of her Red 2006 Mustang GT. She pulls out of her driveway and drives the rest of the way to school. She parks in the student parking lot and gets out of her car. She heads to the front steps of the school where many student wait outside for the bell to ring, signaling the time for them to head to their homeroom class. Kagome walks up the steps and into the front doors of her new school. She walks to the front office and ask for her class schedule. Once she has it she goes back outside and waits by the door. She waits for s few minutes and the bell rings. She goes into the school and walks down the 2nd hallway that will lead to her 1st period class. She walks into room 173 and walks to the back of the room and sits at the desk with her name in red ink on a piece of tape. It only takes a few minutes for the class room to fill up will students. Kagome watches as many of them hug and tell echo other about their summer. ring ring Everyone sits down at the desk with their names taped to the edge and a man with jet black hair steps up and taps a ruler on his desk. "Quiet everyone, quiet! Now I'm sure your all dreading getting to work but unfortunately we have to or I lose my job." The man smiles as many of the students groan and boo. "Now it is your first day back to school so I won't give you any homework and I'll only give you two worksheets to work on." The man looks around and says, "Oh by the way, I know most of you know me from last year, but if you don't my name is Mr. Bird. Most of my previous students called me Mr. B. So you may do so as well. We do however have a new student in our midst. This is her first time here at Shikon High so I expect all of you to make her feel at home." Mr. B. picks up the attendance form and says, "Ms. Higurashi? Will you please stand up and tell us a little bit about your self?" Kagome groans and slowly stands up and says, "My name is Kagome Higurashi. I transferred here from Lake Mont Academy. Before that I went to 2 other schools. Meaning that I have been to 3 schools in the last two years not including Shikon High. No I am not a trouble maker. I just haven't liked my last few schools. Art, Choir, and History are my favorite and best subjects. I hate math and science because I officially suck in those subjects, and I also have hated my last few teachers in those classes. I have a little brother Souta, and I live with my mom and grandfather. I live at the Higurashi Shrine just down the street. And no I will not throw a big giant shrine party for all my new classmates." She sits down and looks out the window. Everyone in the room just stares at her for about 10 minutes. Mr. B finally steps up and says, "Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm a history teacher and not a math or science teacher." He smiles and then walks over to his desk. He picks up a stack of papers and says, "Ms. Higurashi, if you would be so kind as to help me pass out last years ACT Review scores. Kagome looks at Mr. B and shrugs. She stands up and goes over to him and takes the papers he holds out to her. She walks over to the first desk and begins to pass out papers, matching the names on the paper up with the names on the students desks. When she is done she goes back to her desk and sits down. As son as she sits down the door is slung open. She looks up at three kids who look like they are ticked to be back in school. The first guy was tall and well built. He had long silver hair and amber eyes. The guy behind him had short black hair pulled back into a short pony tail. Behind him was a girl who had long black hair that was put up in a high pony tail. Mr. B looks at the three and says, "Well, it figure I'd get you three together again this year." He sighs and indicates for them to sit down. The guy with the silver hair starts walking toward the back of the room where Kagome was sitting. He stops beside her and looks down. Tilting his head to side slightly, "You're new." Kagome looked up at him and lifter her head slightly and then put it back down. "Yep sure am." She turned her head back toward the window and watched as two bluebirds chased each other around a large oak tree. She turns back to the front of the room and listens as Mr. B explains what they will be doing their first semester of the year.
