Summary: What if Kaname was never engaged to Yuuki and had someone else he desired. He meets Kagome in the Feudal Era when he is just a kid and meets her again after her journey. And what's more is that there is more to her than meets the eye. The Higurashi's are her adoptive family. Her 'mother' was good friends with Kagome's parents who were vampires? How does this change everything?

Chapter Five

Kagome stood outside the shrine with a suitcase. She was prepared to leave for Cross Academy. In front of her stood the family that raised her for the past 11 year.

"I guess this is bye for now." Kagome smiled back at the Higurashi's.

Ms. Higurashi smiled back along with the rest of the family. She replied, "You're always welcome to come back."

Souta held back his tears. Kagome moved in with the family not long after he was born, so he was only a baby. In all honesty, he didn't even know that Kagome was adopted until a few weeks prior when she was applying.

Kagome saw his expression so decided it was best to tease him to make him return to being himself. "Aw- Are those tears I see? I thought you were a man, but I guess you're still just a kid,"teased Kagome.

That statement riled Souta up. "Of course I'm a man! I'm already 12! 12 I say!"

The family including Kagome laughed at the young child- laughmanlaugh.

Kagome left the shrine and headed towards her new school.

Kaname was standing in the chairman's office. Apparently he had forgotten to inform him on some news. Because of his status, he and Kaien would keep each other up to date on information.

"So what do you wish to inform me of, "asked Kaname.

The headmaster exclaimed, "Oh yes there was something. We'll have a new student arriving today. She will begin class tomorrow."

Kaname narrowed his eyes. "Which class?"

He waved his hands in protest because he knew he was being accused of enrolling a night class student without consulting the moon dorm president first. This however was not the case. Kaien stated, "Day class."

"This time of year?" Kaname raised an eyebrow.

"Yes,"answered the headmaster. "It appears that her old school was caught on fire. They are re-constructing but that will take time." Kaname was just about to leave thinking that it was a waste of time. It was what he saud next that made him have mixed emotions. "That's it. I just wanted to inform you of Kagome Higurashi's arrival."

It couldn't be her could it? His mother did say she could travel back in time, but what was the chance that this was her time period. "I'll be taking my leave." After the amount of time separated from her, he was a skeptic.

Kagome looked at the large gate. She finally arrived at Cross Academy. This was her new beginning.

Two students dressed in a black uniform which looked identical to the one she received approached the gate and opened it. The girl had short brown hair and brown eyes. She had a white band around her arm. The boy had silver hair and violet eyes.

Kagome's gaze returned to the girl. Kagome raised a hand and placed it gently over her chest where the jewel resided beneath her shirt. Her aura reminded of of Juuri and Haruka, but she was human, and that was what confused her.

The brunette smiled brightly at Kagome. "You must be Kagome Higurashi the new student. I'm Yuuki Cross and this is Zero Kiryuu."

Kagome looked over at Zero. He had a vampiric feel to him. A level E perhaps? She also took notice that he looked bored and wanted to be almost anywhere else but there.

"Hai, that would be me," replied Kagome courteously.

"We are here to take you to the headmaster, then show you to your dorm. We'll have someone show you around the school tomorrow." Kagome nodded in agreement.

On the way to the chairman Zero was still acting the same.

"Let's just get this done and over with," the silver head said.

A tick mark appeared on Kagome's head. Once he started walking ahead more ticks found its way there. She was clearly irritated.

As they walked into the headmaster's office, Kagome finally had enough of him. "If you don't want to be here than just leave instead of pushing me aside like I don't exist!"

Zero turned his head and glared. Although she was entering his year, he was still a year older than her. She should show him respect not yell at him. Better yet, people were just annoying. What he didn't know was that she was also a year behind, so they were actually the same age.

"Why don't you just shut your mouth! Or better yet go to another school. Yeah that's it. Run home to mommy you brat!"

Kaien and Yuuki were surprised at his words though they shouldn't be. Zero always easily went into rage. Though this was a bit extreme to someone he just met.

"Zero," cried Yuuki outraged. She didn't know what to do. She looked towards Kagome to see her reaction. Instead of yelling back like her previous personality suggested, she froze still and her eyes were opened wide filled with hurt. She tilted her head downwards, so Yuuki could no longer see her expression. When she looked back up, the prefect saw extreme anger in her eyes.

She quickly slapped his face. It was hard enough to make Kaien and Yuuki wince at the noise it made at contact. There was also a red hand print on his left cheek now. "You stupid baka!" When he mentioned her mother, the first thing Kagome thought of was her death which took place in front of her.

Zero had his fists clenched. "Fine I'm leaving!" Zero left the room slamming the door on the way out.

"Gomen," whispered Kagome to the other two occupants in the room. That was not how she wanted to start anew. "I didn't mean to cause problems. It's just he was starting to remind me of someone. I didn't mean to take it out on him. Well, with the exception of the last comment."

"It's quite alright," reassured the headmaster. "Zero has quite the temper too. You see his parents are dead. He's seventeen. He refused to go to school for the longest time, so he is a year behind."

Kagome's eyes saddened. She knew how it felt. "Are you sure you should be telling me this? It's his personal life. Even if we do have alot in common. I wouldn't want people to share my life with strangers. He probably wouldn't either because it hurts to remember the past."

The two Cross' blinked. Yuuki asked, "How are you like him?"

Cross added, "Besides your temper, your profile seems completely different to his life." Of course it was her student profile that she had to hand in that he was talking about.

"I'm adopted. My parents are long dead. I'm seventeen too because I had to repeat my third year of middle school due to my absences." Kagome mysteriously added in a soft whisper, "And it appears much more as well.

After a quick chat about the rules and such, Yuuki guided her to the sun dormitory. Yuuki showed Kagome to her room. There is currently someone without a roommate, so you will be place with her. She handed her the key. "Sorry to be in a rush but gotta head to work.

Kagome opened the door only to see her new roommate. She had shoulder blade length black hair, but it was tied up into a ponytail. She had light brown eyes that glittered with amusement. "Ah! You must be my roommate. I am so excited! I'm Nozomi Nagashi by the way."

Kagome released her luggage as she was glomped my her new roommate. "Kagome Higurashi." This was going to be a long year.

Darn it! I thought I was going to get to Kagome meeting Kaname again this chapter. Honestly I didn't plan on Zero and Kagome fighting like that it just wrote itself that way.

I'm in a bunch of pain. All my muscles are tensed and sore from soccer on thursday night as well as gym the next day, Anyone want a bruise of their hip? Because I got kicked there during soccer. Anyway wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy off topic.

To clear things up Kaname know that Kagome could travel back into the past. Juuri never revealed that she is a vampire, so he is still unaware.

I'll have themes on some of the upcoming chapters. I don't just want to follow the original plot b/c that gets boring b/c so many people do that. I will add parts from the original, but not entirely base it off of it. So if you have any theme ideas message me.

Please review. ^^
