Sitting up in her bed with a yawn, Kagome smacked her lips and glanced out the window. Noting the barely there sunrise, she shuffled out of bed sleepily and began her morning routine.

Half an hour later, the shrine maiden bounced back into her room, exceptionally more awake after her shower. Dressing quickly and pulling her hair into its' normal braid, she took a look at herself in the mirror and frowned.

"For some reason, I feel like today should be... different." A splash of color in the corner of the reflection made her turn towards her open closet and her frown disappeared. In its' place, a wicked smile bloomed.

Oh yes. Today would be the perfect day to mix things up a little. Reaching out, she uncoiled her braid.

Kotone hummed under her breath as she disembarked from her vehicle, thanking her chauffer kindly and proceeding into the school. She had a feeling that today was going to be interesting.

"Yamazaki! Over here!" a pretty dark-haired girl in the standard yellow dress waved the brunette over, and she started, wondering who exactly the other girl was.

It hit her a second later and she gawped in shock.

"H-H-Higurashi-kun?!" the Yamazaki girl squeaked, looking her friend from head to toe and rubbing her eyes. Yes, Kagome was still in front of her. In the girl's uniform. With her hair in a loose half tail, leaving the rest to waterfall down her back. "Is that really you?!"

"Nope. I let an alien take over my body and use it for information gathering on normal human behaviours," the miko deadpanned, a bland expression on her face. Kotone breathed a huge sigh of relief at hearing that tone. It was definitely Kagome.

"You're wearing the girl's uniform!"

"I know. I'm not blind. Though I might be if I stare at the skirt for too long," Kagome replied, smirking at her friend. The brunette reached out and put a hand to the raven-haired girl's forehead.

"You're not feverish, so I can't assume you're ill..."

"I just thought I'd mix things up a bit today." At the other girl's confusion, Kagome continued, "Cause a scandal. Run amok. Strike terror into the hearts of small children."

Kotone shook her head and dropped her gaze to the floor in resignation.

"Seriously, my little brother didn't even freak out this much. If I get this kind of reaction from you, imagine what the rest of the school will do." With a shrug, Kagome gestured for them to walk, completely ignoring all of the stares they received. She'd begun keeping a count of how many people ran into things as they made their way deeper into the school. So far, she was at 8.

She couldn't wait to start her plan.

Bursting into the door of her classroom, Kagome breezed by her stupified classmates and took her seat at her desk. The teacher stared for a moment, her glasses slipping down her nose and her mouth opened unattractively before it clicked shut and she gave the miko a brilliant smile.

"Oh, Miss Higurashi! I am most relieved to see you are finally adhereing to the rules of our fine establishment! Now that you are in proper uniform, you can at last begin to truly appreciate all our elite academy is-!"

"Tch. Whatever." In retaliation, she lifted her skirt to a horribly indecent point and dropped her feet onto her desk, leaning back and smirking.

"-able to-! NO! PUT YOUR FEET DOWN THIS INSTANT YOUNG LADY! SUCH IMPROPER BEHAVIOUR IS UNACCEPTABLE OF A REFINED YOUNG LADY!"

"I am neither refined nor proper, according to you. So, I don't see what the big deal is. I'm wearing these damn tights, so it's not like I'm flashing anyone," Kagome shrugged, watching the old woman have a breakdown with a sense of glee. Her feet were shoved off her desk suddenly and a shadow loomed over her. Blinking in annoyance, she glared up at Mori as he stared her down, a faint flush on his cheeks.

"Damn it, Morinozuka! What the hell-!" She jumped to her feet and was ready to rip him apart, but his hand covered her mouth before her more caustic curses could be voiced.

"Sit down, Higurashi." The taller senior spoke quietly, but she detected the slightest tremble in his voice. "Stop attracting unneeded attention." The miko flushed, for some odd reason. Now that she was paying attention, he was startlingly close to her; their bodies almost brushing. She could smell his faint cologne...

Huh. She wasn't expecting that reaction out of herself. Warily eyeing the boy, she took her seat and glared at her desk, annoyed that her fun had been cut short. Mori nodded and went back to his seat, thankful that he was no longer captivated by the stretch of Kagome's long legs propped up for everyone to see.

He knew at that point today was going to be all about testing his self control.

And he was off to a horrible start.
