'…' Thinking

Summary-

Kagura Kawata is a tormented young wind using demon with much on her mind she wishes she'd forget. She soon begins her senior year of high school along side her close friend, Kikyo. Always holding a heavy heart, she is known to hardly speak to anyone in a kind manner and could care less of what other people think. Believing that she is completely invisible to any popular eye, she expects the school year to go by smoothly. Unfortunately, her new next door neighbors happen to be real jerks. Having to deal with the two silver headed brothers is just the beginning of the young sorceress's problems! But little did she know that the Takahashi duo and a few other unexpected strangers will change her thoughts of life forever.

A Miracle in You

Chapter 3- Do You Remember?

Her eyes stared at her friend's moving hand, as if she had the power of stopping it from its action. Disappointment soon flooded after realizing her glares proved to be useless.

"Honestly Kagura, have you forgotten the rules already?"

The young demon gave Kikyo a glance, but hadn't refrained from fanning herself. "But it's so hot…" Kagura's bangs lashed out violently as gusts of wind rushed toward it. She couldn't help herself. The heat in the muggy, windowless, art room she and Kikyo had been in was the cause of her using her demonic powers. Sure the rules clearly stated that the uses of anyone's special abilities were not permitted on school grounds, but what did she care? She was in a dire need of breeze and like hell was she going to simply sit there and have rules limit her satisfaction.

"And besides, no one's here, so stop being a tight ass." she added, eyes now closing in content. 'Damn does this feel good.'

Kikyo mentally rolled her eyes. Being a sorceress of the wind, Kagura could willingly summon any amount of air she pleased with but a simply movement of a hand, foot, or heck, even a useless pinky. She thought of it as a powerful technique which would always come in handy due to its constant supply. The only downside would be the matter of Kagura turning exhausted. Of course once tired, one could not work up to their max ability.

Kikyo could never say that Kagura had inherited these powers from any of her parents, because neither of them had shown any signs of controlling wind. Naraku was a creature made of a large amount of demons, all constructing a body which held a human heart. According to Kagura, he had some how gotten rid of the mortal organ and instead of being only half demon at the time, he transformed into one of full blood. And Amy, Kagura's mother, was one Kikyo knew nothing about. Never had the woman displayed any special techniques nor had Kikyo received any sort of explanation. This made her think. How did Kagura come to become a wind sorcerer? Could one of the many demons Naraku had been created from be her source? Kikyo had never met the guy, but what was told of him was enough to make her skin crawl and only one word came to mind to describe such a being.

Evil.

Again, Kikyo gave her friend a glance, but not as hardened as before. 'Sure she acts tough,'

Kagura caught Kikyo staring at her, but paid it no mind. Right now, she was enjoying herself.

'but she's burning up inside.'

Flashback 3 years into the past: Kikyo's P.O.V.

I was now returning to my home with a sack of fish food tightly clenched under my arm. I haven't fed my poor fish Mu in days so I've decided to bring it a grand buffet. That is when I noticed the sky began to gray and a small drop of water soon met with the bridge of my nose. I cursed my luck. I still had many blocks to travel before I came anywhere close to my home, and with no money left, I couldn't buy a ride. A small thought then crossed my mind. 'Hm, maybe I could lift my skirt a little, have some idiotic pervert take me home, and then purify him to oblivion if anything were to happen.' I mentally laughed at the ridiculous idea. Yes, I held special powers as well. And because of that, I was never under the category of being normal. But I couldn't have been more grateful.

As if the Gods were laughing down at me as well, the rain began to crash its way down to earth ground. I sighed knowingly. I never was the one to have good fortune, ever since the day I was born. I mean, it was sunny as hell by the time I bought this fish crap they call food, so why not take a nice stroll? No umbrella, no jacket, just a simple summer dress, and tennis shoes. But no, I couldn't get away with that. It just had to rain.

I watched a few buildings pass by as I walked. I tried to take my mind off of the heavy rain and imagined I was walking through bushes of colorful flowers instead of filthy puddles. Well bloody hell, that wasn't helping either. How silly of me. This rain must have had some awkward affect to my brain. I wondered why such stupid thoughts crossed mind.

My walking soon slowed its pace as I noticed a lone girl sat on a bench as it seemed she was staring into the palms on her lap. I had thoughts of leaving her right there. She was obviously an idiot to sit in this rain as if it were nothing, and I do not associate myself with idiots. As I reached the bench, my ears picked up the dim sound of sniffling. The girl was crying! My mind told me to walk away, but my feet were moving TOWARD her on its own accord. 'Stop feet, I command you!' Nothing. The next thing I knew, I was sitting along side the girl. When the hell had that happened? Damn this rain. It held not only control of my mind, but my body as well. The Kikyo I knew would have continued on her way, and not even praise the girl with a second glance. But now just looking at her, I felt, dear I say? Guilty?

Mu's food was now placed on my lap as I stared holes into it. Because of it, I had to deal with mind controlling rain, and a sobbing girl. "You know, it is raining."

Great, Kikyo. That's a perfect way to comfort the girl, by stating the obvious. She hadn't said anything, only hiccupped. I shook my head shamefully. The girl had looked a complete wreck. Her clothes were torn in various places, her eye shadow making her eyes look like black holes ( I wondered why a girl her age would wear eye shadow in the first place) and her hair tussled. I realized a dark bruise cling around her neck, so thick and dark it looked as if it were a chocker. I would have recoiled at the sight, but I chose not to.

The words just blurted out of my mouth. "What happened to you?" At my question, the girl seemed to have gotten angry and forgotten all about her tears. She looked at me and I immediately found my heart pumping at a faster rate. Those eyes… her eyes were red and frightening. I was amazed to see such a thing.

"Just leave me alone."

Ah, so she did know how to speak. Not a complete idiot after all. But I refused to leave, there must have been a good explanation as to why I've suddenly met up with this girl, and I was going to find out. So I waited, not saying another word until I heard her begin to cry once more. My eyes remained on her face as the rain blended with her tears. Obviously someone had abused her, and at that realization I found myself patting her back. She didn't seem to mind, but what shocked me was that the wench had went and cried on my shoulder for what seemed like hours. I was quite uncomfortable with this new side of me, yet I was content that I was sort of helping. All she needed was a friend, and at the moment I just happened to be the one. Damn.

Her sobs soon subsided as she raised her head from my shoulder. "You didn't have to comfort me, woman."

Well I never! What a rude little wench. "And you didn't have to spill your guts all over my shoulder." I retorted back, almost as rudely. The girl's eyes narrowed, but then she looked elsewhere. The rained still poured and I found myself beginning to have a runny nose. Oh well, I'd just have to heal myself later with my abilities.

"What a joke. This is all a joke, you know that? My life isn't set. No way. It always has these damn twists and turns which is driving me insane!"

I blinked. What the HELL was this girl talking about? Twists and turns? WHAT twist and turns? And why was she yelling? But I only shrugged and nodded, as if I understood where she was getting at.

My eyes then traveled to Mu's food. It was a fairly big sack that could cover one's head. "Here." I offered it to her. She might catch a cold in this awful weather. She then looked at me, bewildered.

"What do you want me to do with that? Eat it?"

I then heard myself laugh at her stupidity. "No, silly, use it as an umbrella. You might catch a cold."

She scoffed and crossed her arms. "I don't need you pathetic excuse as a shield, Keep it."

This woman had some serious social issues. Here I am, offering her help a second time, and she pushes it away. Didn't she want to be flu free?

As if she read my mind, she then said, "I'm a demon, I don't catch colds." She slid the side of her short wet hair to reveal pointed ears. Well, I didn't see that coming. A demon. I should of figured it out at first glance, especially with those red eyes of hers. They were a dead give away. I contemplated on whether I should run for my precious but still young life, or stay put. I stuck with choice B.

"Then what are you doing out in this rain? I'm sure you have better things to do." Like terrorizing us humans, but I wasn't going to say that.

"I could be asking you the same question."

I then began to explain to her how I had simply came out to buy fish food and then the cursed rain began to fall. She chuckled.

I felt offended that she suddenly found my misfortune a joke. "And what is so funny?" I asked coldly. She then apologized, something I'm sure demons couldn't do.

"The rain, it's my fault."

"How is it your fault?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. It just happens when I'm angry."

This girl was making no sense with each minute I got to know her. How could someone possibly control the weather out of emotion?

She sighed, and as she did so, she seemed to be less tense. My eyes slightly widened as I felt less amounts of raindrops thump against my head. So it WAS her fault. I then saw the old sun I knew peep out through some clouds.

"It's okay." I lied, and stood. Realizing that I wasn't going to receive anymore information from her, there was no point in staying. "Well, I must be off."

I turned to leave until I heard her call out, "Wait a minute." I rolled my eyes and looked at her only to see she was fidgeting with her feet. "May I come with you? We live pretty close…"

Wow. A female stalker. Interesting. "But how do you know where I live?" I heard myself ask.

She seemed to be shock, as if she had just received a big let down. "You mean you've never noticed me? I live across the street from you."

Hearing this, slightly crept me out for reasons unknown. I've never seen her a day in my life, yet she claims…

"Please, I don't want my father to spot me alone. I wouldn't be asking if I weren't desperate." She had been scared, no terrified. I could practically see her shake with uneasiness. "Sure, why not." She was afraid of her father. Maybe he was the one who had abused her.

After I agreed to her plea, she hadn't smiled, only muttered a simple 'thanks'. I wondered if I was doing the right thing.

As we walked, I soon found out her name was Kagura, a wind using demon. The reason she had ran away was because her mother and father had gotten into a brutal fight. Her father was drunk at the time and had lost control, as usual. Basically her mother was beaten to a pulp, and Kagura strangled. It was horrible how Kagura shook as she told me the story. I felt my heart ache out toward her, but yet I could do nothing but be a friend. Some how, I knew that wasn't enough.

End of Flashback, present: Normal P.O.V.

By now, Kagura had stopped fanning herself and looked at Kikyo oddly due to her sudden silence. She never witnessed Kikyo in a daze before as she looked close to drooling all over the student desk. Kagura grinned. 'This is priceless.'

She then whipped out her picture cell phone from her book bag without Kikyo noticing.

CLICK

Kikyo blinked, and now faced Kagura. "What was that?"

"What was what?" she had immediately returned her phone to her bag.

Kikyo grew suspicious. "Nothing…"

Kagura hid a smile and turned to the clock. 8:05. "Ugh, when is this class going to start?"

"Patience Kagura. We've got 5 minutes."

A few students had already been in the class room, carrying on small conversation. None of which Kagura recognized. But, as if she had just jinxed herself,

"Babe!"

A tall boy had entered, his long black hair held high in a tight ponytail. His eyes shined a bright blue, while a boyish grin was plastered on his face.

Kagura frowned. "Koga, what the hell are you doing here?"

0000

His eyes darted in between the faces that stared at him with admiration, yet he walked coolly with both hands shoved in his pants pockets and a meager frown placed on his face.

"Ooh, check out the new guy!"

"Oh my gawd, look at that pretty hair!"

"Could he be a demon?"

"Those ears are so cute!"

And as he looked in between faces, he noted the ugly ones, from what he considered cute. 'Feh, not worth time.'

So he paid no mind to the stares, thinking he had more important things to do. 'Where in the hell could it be?' His walking soon came to a stop as he reached the janitor's closet, in other words, a dead end. A deep growl rumbled in his chest as he swiftly turned in the opposite direction only to be met with chocolate brown eyes.

"Heya!"

Inuyasha shrank back with surprise at the girl's sudden outburst. "Hey, you shouldn't be sneaking up behind people like that!"

The girl smiled. "Ha! You make it sound as if you're doing something illegal."

"Feh."

She quirked an eye brow confusedly, but hadn't gone far into the issue. "Well, it seems as though you're new here, correct? I've never seen you around in the previous years."

"Well aren't you a smart one."

She ignored his comment, and out stretched a hand. "My name's Kagome, what's yours?"

Was this girl serious? Did it look like he had the time for small talk here? He stared at her lone hand, but hadn't moved a muscle. "It's Inuyasha. Now look, could yah tell me where 207 is so I could move on with my life?"

Kagome's arm returned to her side. "Why of course, since that's where I'm heading as well."

Inuyasha gave the girl a once-over glance just to see what he was dealing with here. She was about a head shorter that he, and her ebony locks reached mid-back. Her eyes seemed to be of ones that were always leaping with joy, as well as her attitude. Her legs were skinny, but nice and tall, where as her breasts were fairly sized. 'Not bad.' he thought but then crossed his arms. "Whatever, let's just make this quick."

Kagome gave a bleak nod. "Sure!"

0000

"What do you mean what am I doing here?" he asked confusedly, before hopping to a seat that was next to Kagura's.

Kagura hadn't fallen for the innocent look, but only glared at Koga. "You know what I mean. Since when have you ever liked art? And when are you going to quite with the names? I AM NO LONGER YOURS. We're through. OVER. DONE."

Koga could only smile, conceitedly showing off his K-9's. "I see you haven't changed a bit." His eyes then glanced at Kikyo, giving her a lazed wave.

"Hello Koga." she muttered, already disliking her first period class. Kikyo had always hated the wolf demon. He was an annoying, cocky, possessive, rowdy demon, and she never understood as to why Kagura could let such a being stand anywhere near her, yet alone date him.

"Again, why are you here Koga?"

He shrugged. "You never knew I was into art?"

"I never knew YOU knew what art was."

This time he frowned, but before he could say anything, a loud holler was heard at the front of the room, now grabbing everyone's attention.

"THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH. I'VE ASKED YOU CHILDREN TO QUIET DOWN FOUR TIMES ALREADY BUT I GUESS YOU LACK THE ABILITY TO HEAR AS WELL AS ANY SIGNS OF ACEDEMIC SKILLS. NOW TAKE YOUR SEATS OR I WILL BE FORCED TO HOLD YOU ALL AFTER SCHOOL."

Silence dawned upon the class room as each gave the teacher a stare. He stood tall and brave, yet a decent scowl made him appear older than what he probably was. His form had been skinny and flimsy, causing most of the students to wonder how such a man could give out an intimidating outburst which he had done previously.

"Now,"

He straightened his silk blue tie which went awfully along with his red shirt and gold dress pants. "My name is Mr. Chi and I am going to be your Creative Arts teacher for the year."

Yes I know… I'm making this day drag. And yes, I ALSO know that Sesshomaru wasn't in this chapter. He'll be in the next one, have no fear. And yes, I AGAIN know that I took a while to update. It turns out, I had my Math A Regents exams yesterday, and that took a lot outta me. I also have my biology one coming up, so is if I take a while to update the following chapter, well, that's the reason. But don't worry. No matter how long I take to update, just know that I'm working my little butt off to get these chapters up. Okay's, on with the reviews. Oyo, I got's more!

onlyanime- Thanks a bunch. I am truly flattered. Someone actually LOVES my story!

restria- Thank you. I will update as fast as I possibly can.

pixie-love- Lol, I'll be sure to do that, and thanks. I've already read four chapters of your story. So far so great. How could Inuyasha do that to Kagome! Hehe, I'll submit a review once I've reached the last chapter.

Shake Dog Shake- Thank you.

Nicki003- Well, here it is!

Inu-midoriku- Hm, really? I thought I've made Sesshomaru a bit more social than he actually is? Haha, thanks anyway!

Suzuki The Dog Demon- You are very welcome. And actually, I have something planned that is very similar to what you have thought out, but maybe I'm saying too much? Hehe.
