Chapter 2 – Shikon High
As it had turned out, Kagura's old high school, was half way across the country. The week after Reiki's last show, the band including Kagura and Koga boarded their private jet and spent a little over five hours in the sky. Kagome had fidgeted the entire time, as the closer they got to their destination the more excited she became. Sango had resisted oh so many times to tie Kagome's hands together.
"Kagome, calm down. We've still got a long way to go." Koga laughed.
Kagome playfully glared at the young bodyguard. "I can't help that I'm excited to try something different and new. I'm excited to be a normal teenager!"
"Doll, you have to remember you are literally the most well-known person in the world. It's going to be very difficult trying to be a normal teenager." Sango said.
Kagome sighed.
"I know that, guys. But I want to try and be normal. And I'm glad you two will be with me to help." Kagome smiled at her closest friends.
Koga and Sango looked at each other and exchanged an amused look.
"Okay, Kagome. But take a sleeping pill and try and sleep. That way the trip will go faster and in no time we'll be there." Sango handed her a tin pill and a glass of water.
Kagome took the water and pill, wearily.
"This isn't a date rape drug in disguise, is it? You aren't planning to take advantage of me now?" Kagome mocked fear.
Sango snorted and shook her head. "Just take the pill, your highness."
Kagome and Koga both laughed before the former swallowed the pill and a gulp of water, and attempted to get comfortable in her seat. She stared out the window into the cloudless blue sky, and slowly the pill took affect…
Kagome looked in the mirror and before her stood a six year old version of herself. Her small, naked arms were covered in blue and yellowing bruises. Her face was tear stained, as well as her left cheek was bleeding slightly.
"Kagome, you stupid little bitch!" The voice was familiar to her. But it sounded so distorted, she couldn't place whether it was female or male. But it was a voice she lived with every day.
She could hear stomping feet getting closer to the room she was standing in and soon the door bashed open, light spilling into the darkened room. A silhouette of an adult stood in the door frame. The figure was distorted.
"There you are, you little shit!"
The figure approached closer towards little Kagome and she could smell alcohol and weed coming from it. The figure roughly grabbed her by the hair causing her to cry out. The figure slapped her hard across the face, she felt blood fill her mouth. She was dropped on the floor and started coughing up blood on the carpet.
"I had a future before it was fucked up by you!"
With that she was kicked in the stomach and she felt a rib break. The pain was so intense that she couldn't even cry out. But Kagome tried her best to crawl away from the frightening figure before it grabbed her ankle. She saw something glint in its free hand, right before hot searing pain ran across her thigh.
She finally screamed.
"You are worst the mistake I have ever made!"
Kagome woke up with a start and her hand instinctively went to her right thigh. Phantom pain still remained from the nightmare and she was breathing heavily. She knew that it wasn't just an ordinary nightmare – it was a memory.
"Kagome?"
The person in question jumped and looked at Sango who was watching her worriedly.
"Kagome? Are you alright? You kept stirring and moaning in your sleep." Sango said.
Kagome attempted a weak smile for the sake of her dear friend. "Yes, I'm perfectly okay. Just had a bad dream, that's all."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Sango inquired.
Kagome shook her head vigorously. "No, no! It's quite alright, I'll just go to the bathroom and splash some water on my face."
Sango didn't look very sure but nodded her head. Kagome got up and slowly made her way to the nearest bathroom. Once she was inside, she locked the door and looked in the mirror. Her reflection shocked her; her face was pale and clammy with sweat. Her usually luscious black hair lacked life and stuck to hear face due to the sweat. She switched on the cold water and splashed her face. She ran her fingers through her hair until it looked a little more alive.
"Attention passengers, the pilot has turned on the fasten seatbelts sign on as we are making our descent into Tokyo. Thank you."
Kagome sighed as the intercom sounded off and she left the bathroom. She walked back to her seat and strapped on her seatbelt. She watched out the window as the plane got closer and closer to the ground. The city looked alive and lights shone brilliantly against the night sky.
The plane bounced as it made contact with the ground and soon came to a halt.
Everyone walked off the plane and went to terminal to fetch their individual luggage. The airport was dead tonight, so the band wasn't bothered by annoying fans. Their luggage came quickly and soon they walked out to meet two waiting limos. The other members of the band got in one limo while Kagome, Kagura, Koga and Sango got in the other. The driver started the engine and soon they were off to their new homes.
"Since the other members of the band are too old to go to high school, they will staying at a different house, away from all the teenage fans. I have gotten us a house close to the school, so you three have a less likely chance of getting attacked on the way to and from school." Kagura explained.
The drive took about half an hour, and they all spent it silence as they were all tired from slight jet lag. Soon they stopped in front a luxurious looking abode. A triple story white manor styled house stood before them. Kagome looked at the house with an awed expression.
"Kagura, how did you get this place?" Kagome asked.
"It is actually my old house before I left Tokyo." Kagura smiled.
The trio stared at her as if she had produced a second head. Kagura started laughing before walking up the front porch steps and waved them to come inside. She unlocked the door and stepped inside the neat and well-kept house. She had called the maid service to tidy the house before they arrived.
"Your bedrooms are up the stairs there," Kagura indicted to the large staircase at her left. "I want you three to go and sleep now, because school starts tomorrow."
They nodded before making their way up the stairs. At the top of the stair case, stood before them three largely spaced doors with their names somehow label on different doors. They made their way to their individual bedrooms.
Kagome closed the door behind her and switched on the light. The sight of her new room took her breath away. It was styled to meet her gothic needs perfectly. The walls were painted a dark shade of purple and on the other side of the large room stood a large window. It was practically bigger than herself. Two identical purple with black lace curtains stood at the window's left and right. Directly across the window, on Kagome's left stood a queen sized bed. The duvet was also dark purple with a large trim of black lace at the end. The pillow cases were just plain purple.
A second door stood a great distance away from the bed's left and Kagome went over to it. She opened the door and saw inside was a pure white bathroom. In the middle stood a large bathtub, and in the corner, a large shower was placed. Kagome smiled happily and closed the door.
She was extremely tired right now, so she just plugged in her phone charger and plugged her phone in. Kagome switched off the light and climbed in between her velvet duvet. She set an alarm on her phone as she tends to sleep in. she set her phone down on the counter and as soon her head hit the pillow, she fell into a dreamless sleep.
A strong rock ballad jolted Kagome out her sleep reverie. She quickly grabbed her phone and switched off the alarm. She checked the time and saw it was early in the morning and she wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep. Then it hit her – she was starting high school today!
That instantly woke her up and she jumped out of bed and walked into her private bathroom. She ran the water for a shower and waited for it to warm up. She saw on the bathroom counter it was already supplied with her makeup and toothbrush and toothpaste. She tied her up into a neat high bun and quickly stripped.
Kagome stepped into the hot flow of water and sighed wistfully. With her head away from the water she looked down at her one thigh and her eyes were met with a large, ugly scar. She remembered the nightmare she had on the plane and shivered. She shook her head and quickly expelled all thoughts about her past. She dutifully cleaned her body before switching off the water and grabbed a fluffy white towel to wrap around her naked body.
She walked back into her room and set her bad on her bed. She opened and grabbed the clothes, shoes and jewellery she wanted. Her outfit consisted of black ripped skinny jeans, a dark purple corset top and a pair plain black high heels. She slipped on dark hoop earrings and put on her favourite necklace; her black rosary. Kagome walked back into the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she was finished, she applied black eyeliner and mascara to her eyes, making the hazel pop out. She added slight blush to her cheeks before putting on dark pink lipstick. She looked very Goth as she admired her work in the mirror.
She left her bathroom as well as her bedroom and walked downstairs to find the kitchen. When she found it, she saw Koga with his head on the island table, trying to get more sleep with coffee right next to him. Sango stood adjacent to him, looking very tired.
Sango went with her usual outfit, black tank top with black short shorts and black combat boots. All topped off with her signature leather jacket. Her long brunette hair was loosely tied in a low pony. When she saw Kagome walk in, she smiled.
"Looking sexy there, Kags." Sango said loudly trying to wake up Koga.
It worked. He lifted his head up and when he saw Kagome, he blushed and looked away. The girls laughed.
"Right back at you, Sango." Kagome laughed.
Sango handed her a cup of coffee right as Kagura walked in.
"Do you want me to come to the office with you guys today?" Kagura asked.
"If you don't mind, Kagura." Sango said.
The manager smiled and shook her as if to say that she didn't. Everyone quickly drank their coffee and ate their healthy fruit salad breakfast before making their way to the car. Kagura got in the driver's seat while Koga rode shotgun and Sango and Kagome were content with sitting in the back. The drive to the school took up to five minutes.
Shikon High looked like the high schools Kagome had seen in pictures and her excitement came bubbling up again. Kagura parked the car in the parking lot and the four friends got out. Students were everywhere, and as soon as they saw Sango and Kagome get out of the car, awed silence fell in the quad. The rally of students could not believe their eyes as the singer and lead guitarist of the most famous rock/metal band Reiki were attending their school.
As they made their way to the front office, all eyes followed them. Kagura spoke with the receptionist and the trio were soon give their identical schedules:
Period 1 – Music
Period 2 – Spanish
Period 3 – Biology
Tea Break – 20 minutes
Period 4 – History
Period 5 – Math
Period 6 – English
Lunch Break – 1 hour
Period 7 – Business Economics
Since Kagura had been to Shikon High, she directed them to the music classroom. She bid them goodbye and good luck for their first day before she walked off. The trio was left alone in front of the door.
"I have to go to the bathroom, I saw one on our way here." Sango said.
Kagome nodded.
"I'll go with her, so she doesn't get mobbed by fans on the way." Koga said starting his duty as their bodyguard.
With that the two friends walked off and Kagome walked into the classroom. The music class was empty of students and was filled with many different instruments. Kagome walked around the room in awe and she somehow lost her footing and proceeded to fall backwards. She waited to meet the cold hard ground, but soon a pair of strong muscular arms wrapped around her lower waist bringing her flush against a body.
A strong, muscular male body. She opened her eyes and looked up to meet amused golden eyes. The man holding her against him was breathtakingly handsome, with a smooth face and long, luscious white hair. He wore a black wife beater's top covered by a leather jacket, with black jeans and soft black boots. He looked like a sex god.
"Are you okay, beautiful?" His voice was deep and strong, Kagome could've melted right there.
Remembering the position she was in, her face turned bright crimson. "Oh! I-I'm f-fine thanks." She stuttered.
The Sex God smiled but still didn't want to let her go.
"Um, I-I'm Kagome, I'm n-new here…" She said softly.
He laughed softly. "I know who you are, lead singer from Reiki. I love your music."
Kagome blushed again. "Who are you then?"
He raised an eyebrow at her slight attitude and his smirk deepened.
"Sesshomaru Sakamaki."
Yay, Sesshomaru's here!
Next time on Lyrics Of My Heart:
"I have to say, up close you look like a goddess."
Kagome blushed at the compliment and tried to move away from the handsome bad boy, she was already stuck between him and a desk.
"How kind of you to say…" She murmured.
Sessomaru smirked before placing his long muscular arms on either side of Kagome, trapping her. Their bodies were touching, and she could feel every single inch of his God-like body.
"You make me want to bad things." He whispered seductively before leaning his face closer towards hers…
