Pairing: Kagome/Kaname
Rating: T (May Change)

Author: Dark Void Princess 21 (DVP21)/KuroTenshi04 (Same Person just a temporary pen name to hide from my sister)
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 Seven

"Kaname?" Kagome blinked. Was he really the little boy that... Kagome mentally blushed at the memory of the kiss. Then another figure not far behind him surprised her just as much. 'Rima?' Kagome only voiced her name in thought, but she continued to stare at the girl with orange hair.

Rima's eyes widened for a brief moment before dulling back to normal. 'That scent...'

Kagome removed her gaze from Rima to Kaname. Before anything could be said between the two, someone pulled her arm. Next thing she knew was that her back was pressed against another body. "Keep going Kuran." Kagome looked up. She knew that voice. It was Zero. "Class will begin soon." In reality the vampire hunter just wanted the vampires out of his sight.

Kaname took one last glance at Kagome. She could see in his eyes that she had explaining to do. Looking back at Zero, she also had explaining to do to him. She was confused to that. What did she have to explain.

"Yuuki start rounding the school. I have something to deal with." Yuuki looked confused when Zero started dragging Kagome in the direction of the headmaster's house/office. Nonetheless she began her prefect duties and began making her round around the school.

They reached the chairman's office. Zero slammed open the door. That alone was enough of a clue for Kaien to know it was his 'son'. He, however, was confused when he heard his newest student's voice in a yelling tone. "What the heck do you think you're doing? Release me at once!" Kagome didn't like that she had been pulled across the campus to visit the headmaster for who knows what reason.

"Zero? Why did you bring Kagome here?"

Kaien had barely finished asking his question when the silver head pushed Kagome in his direction before pointing his finger accusingly at her. "Why weren't we informed that she knows about vampires?" Well he was straight to the point. Wait? When had she mentioned that she knew the night class were vampires... unless she spoke her thoughts aloud earlier.

Kaien glanced at Kagome with a more serious matter for once. "You know?"

Kagome nodded dumbly. "Yeah. I guess you could say that I have ties with the supernatural."

That was the beginning of a long conversation. During their chat, Kaien asked if Kagome would be a prefect. After all his children had complained how they had too much work for just them to handle. Kagome had denied at first. The job hadn't seemed very pleasant. Though seeing how the headmaster wasn't backing down, she told him that she would consider it. This pleased the eccentric man.

After finally escaping from the chairman and Zero, she began a walk in the woods. She needed time to think about things. Several things. It was then that she felt someone follow her. Kagome stopped walking but had yet to look behind her. "When do you plan to stop following me... Rima-chan?" Rima jumped out from one of the trees. She had yet to say anything. "Do you wish to ask me something?"

It was silent for a few more moments. Rima was studying the girl before her. Her scent: fresh rain water, roses, and lavenders. She only knew one person with that particular scent, however, it made no sense. The person she was thinking of was a vampire. "Who are you?"

Kagome smile sadly. "I see. You don't remember me. I wouldn't expect you too in this state I'm in."

"Tsu-"

Kagome interrupted. There were plenty of ears at school. "Hai, however, I wish you not to speak a word of this to anyone Rima. There are reasons for why things are. I may or may not return to my true form, so in the mean time it would be for the best for you to act as if you don't know me." When Rima asked how, Kagome responded, "Powers of purebloods are mysterious aren't they?"

Either way Rima listened to her. "Hai." She slightly bowed. "It's been almost twelve years. Welcome back... ojou-sama." Rima then quickly left. There was no point on staying. It would only cause suspicion.

Hehe Sorry. I just wanted to post something before I went camping. Leaving tomorrow and I will be gone for a week. I know a lot of you are waiting for the interaction with Kaname but I keep running scenarios through my head in different ways it could happen. Haven't thought of something that really stands out to me. If anyone has suggestions for their conversation it may help.

Also if you can't tell I LOVE RIMA! ^^ One of my fav vampire. I'll explain things throughly later. One I return I plan to write a longet chapter.

P.S. If you haven't notice I change my pen name for the time being. Sister found my account and I am trying to hide from her.

Any ideas are welcomed.

Now it's 3 AM and I didn't sleep much. Going to bed.
