Disclaimer: yeah it's still a no peoples.
O.O
The sun was shining through the clouds as its radiant rays hit the vibrant red paint of the entrance to an old shrine temple. An enormous set of white concrete stairs freshly cleared of any spring leaves fallen from the fast amount of old trees scattered around the hillside making the view to the top almost invisible.
Opening the car door, and stepped out to get a better look at the nature surrounding this dreamlike place I couldn't help but twirling around in my yellow ballerina shoes to admire the natural surroundings, as the fresh smell of the newly cut grass overwhelming my senses.
It's just like a dream I used to have when I was little. I would be running around a giant garden playing hide-and-go-seek, when I would come to a lake, with a family of black swans swimming peacefully under the warm sun.
"Where are we Miroku?"
Kagome asked as she bent down to smell some of the wild flowers, scattered around the stairs.
"Welcome to the Higurashi Shrine Kagome. Your new home."
Turning around once again I couldn't help but stare at the enormous hill.
My new home, yeah that's right. I'm now known as Eri Higurashi, just an ordinary sixteen year old girl who has moved here with her family.
Starting to move almost automatically after Miroku slowly walked up the giant set of stares I couldn't help feeling like I was deleting who I was with every step further I took. Those sixteen years of my life at Green Child Hill, with my mother and father, that's not Eri Higurashi but Kagome Satoru. How do they expect me to be the same person but not at the same time? Taking a heavy sigh, as I followed up the stairs behind Miroku, he led me through the peaceful Shrine towards a house standing only a few meters away from the entrance.
"Are you ready to meet them? The Higurashi's I mean?"
He asked as I walked beside him stopping in front of the front door.
Not trusting my own voice, I simple nodded my head and prepared for the unknown. So many questions rushing in and out of my mind at once like how they might react to having a complete stranger living under the same roof as their family, would they know what happened? But with the amount of adrenaline pumped more through my veins, the only thing I'm physical able to focus on completely is this wooden barrier that is currently standing between me and the unknown.
The sound of metal hinges swing open suddenly came to my ears as the front door opened, drawing in a large breath and holding it as I prepared for the worse.
But the worst never came, instead I was pushed back and placed into a deathly hug by a green and blue blur that shot out from inside the house in mere seconds of the door opening, making what little air I had left in my lungs become pushed out leaving me gasping for air.
Suddenly the sound of a soft motherly voice floated out of the now wide-open front door from inside the house, addressing the blur that had shot out only second's prior as "Sota." Looking up I came face to face with what I could only believe to be Sota's mother, her calm features reminded me so much of mothers as a green apron that had probably seen better days hung naturally from her frame. One could only guess that it had been used many times by the looks of the many different food stains and the once bright colour that is now starting to become faded.
"Please dear, she's only just arrived; we don't want to scare her off already."
A muffled
"Yes, mama"
Came from the young boy as he pulled away from my yellow dress, his arms that were once wrapped tightly around my body like a pair of vice grips and arms loosened leaving me able to finally breath properly, the fresh air surround us filling my lungs once more fully, helping to calm my nerves. Pulling back he stood only a few steps away and by the looks of things, he was probably around the age of 10 and about average in height with cute dark brown eyes that just screamed mischief as he gave her a big toothy grin.
"Hi!" and with that he jumped running the other back the way he came inside the house passed his mother as she shook her head playfully. His longish black hair bouncing as he ran up a set of stairs inside the house, skipping some steps as he went. His dark bangs flicking in his face as he went. The warmth of his excitement making me smile inwardly at how cute he was,
One thing is for sure he could lighten up any room of people.
As he disappeared from my sight I looked towards the figure that was obviously his mother who still stood standing in the open door a smile - less toothy compared to her sons - gracing her face making small dimples appear. Even if you where squinting your eyes you could just see faint line traces in the corner of her eyes as she smiled a smile that seemed natural to her features. When our eyes made contact, brown meeting brown, I couldn't help but feel the warmth in her motherly gaze and her sweet, caring smile that any child would seek when needing comfort.
"Lady Kagome, this is Mrs Tendo Higurashi. Mrs Higurashi, Kagome Satoru"
Miroku said stepping forward introducing both of them to the other person, and with an extended hand I followed his example, stepped forward from behind him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs Higurashi."
"Oh please, just call me Mama dear."
Waving her hand to emphasise her point while the other gently wrapped around my extended right hand.
"You to Miroku, I'm not that old yet."
The change of emotion that crossed Miroku's face was priceless, as his very formal appearance changed to what one would think a fish out of water would look like, as he still stood lost for words.
"He always acts all official when in a suit."
Whispering loud enough for him to hear though Mrs Higurashi or Mama Higurashi sent a wink my way making the once heavy weight of uncertainty that was laying on my chest vanished leaving a feeling of belong and warmth in its wake, the one that someone would feel after coming back home after a long time away.
When Miroku made a small pout showing that he hear every word of the statement we both couldn't help but giggled like a bunch of high school girls.
"Well, we better head inside, your things were delivered a few hours ago dear." Placing a hand on my shoulder before turning back to send a questioning glance to the young man still standing before us. She asked if he would be staying for a while?
Letting out a heavy sigh, I watched as his hated head shock in the meaning of a No, his long hair moving slightly from side to side.
"I sorry, but I better be on my way." Myoga wanted to see me anyways. He mentally added.
Taking this time as any to ask Kagome if she wanted him to come and take her to school tomorrow morning, Mrs Higurashi simply stepped in say she would gladly do it; already going that way to take Grandpa to one of his usual check-ups.
"Well then, until tomorrow Ladies."
Taking one last bow to the two women in front of him, before turning on his heals to start the short journey back down the hill, towards the dark black Mercedes Bend.
Watching his form slowly start too disappear down the side of the hill before he was unable to be seen, and the quite sound of the car roaring to life being the only signal that he had in fact left.
Mrs Higurashi then turning in my direction to send me another of her warm, motherly smiles as her hand that once sat on my shoulder moved in a welcoming gesture to the inside of the home, my new home and future.
"Well, shall we Kagome dear?"
"Um… Yeah."
Walking inside the wooden house, I followed Mrs Higurashi through as she lead me up a set of smooth, wooden stairs and down a brightly lit, baby blue hall wall full of photos of loved ones and landscape images, plus a bunch of other things.
As we moved past the first room on the left, I noticed the dark blue door was still open slightly, the silver doorhandle teasing, being only inches away from the doorframe. As the sport radio blasted through the doors, I could help but take a quite glace inside the box filled room to see whose room it is.
By the looks of all the sport posters on the wall I bet it's a boy's room though.
Suddenly the sound of the soccer host shouting through the speakers of the radio that sat on top of the farthest box near the window and that of another voice screaming 'GOAL!' came blasting through the door. Only adding to my hunch that this was a boy's room, and as the young boy from before bounced into my line of view only confirmed it.
As he jumped around his room, throwing his small hands in the air screaming the same continues word, leaving what box he was starting to unpack unattended. He kept spinning around, until he stopped dead in his tracks like a deer in headlights finally noticed me in the doorway, grinning at him.
"Uh, sorry. I guess you could say I like sport?!"
He said nervously, as a cute little blush formed on his cheeks from the embarrassment of being caught, I could help by giggle a little as the host on the radio moved on to talk about the amazing goal that had just been scored.
I think I'm going to like him a lot. Like a little brother I never had.
"It's ok."
I said in between the small giggles.
"Between you and me, I'm a big fan of the Eagle Eyes. But don't tell anyone ok?" Sending a wink his way, I was about ready to turning to follow the woman from before as she moved into a room just at the end of the hall. Before his face lit up when I said those words, and he came running out of his room towards where I stood. Scream at me if I was being serious.
"Yeah, dead serious."
I said back to him, trying to keep the best straight face I could the whole time.
"Don't tell me you haven't heard of them?!"
"WHAT!" It was his turn to look shocked now. "I love them, their last season was amazing!"
"Well that's good to hear-"
Before I could say anything else though, the voice of Mrs Higurashi calling out my name from down the hall stole my attention.
Sota just grinned up at me before saying
"You best not keep Mama waiting. You don't want to see her in a bad mood, trust me."
And with that his ran back into his room, remembering to shut his dark blue door this time, the sound of the radio being dampened by the thick walls.
"Kagome?!"
This time he voice was starting to sound a bit more inpatient, taking Sota's advice. I quickly tuned to run down towards the room at the end of the hall, getting their in record time but nearly sliding into the wall from my socks as I tried to round the corner. I quickly came face to face with an empty room apart from a few boxes and the lady I was to call my mother standing in the middle. Taking in the room full as I stepped inside, the first thing I noticed was the slight difference in size between my room in Green Child Hill compared to the Higurashi Shrine, which was to be my new home, even though it was only a few meters difference, it was still noticeable, and so where the slim green walls. The very colours making my lunch threaten of coming back up as an anime sweated characteristic's formed on my face.
As if sensing my uneasiness about the colour, Tendo' quickly spoke up.
"Sorry, but my father doesn't care too much for the colour of rooms. I already had to get Sota's repainted, and I didn't know what you would have liked."
She tried to stiffen the giggles that suddenly came to seeing my face as I tried to cover up my past look.
I was about to cut in say that it was fine, and that I was already very grateful for being allowed to live in the safety of her own home. But she quietly silenced me from being able to say anything with a small raise of her index finger.
"I have some paint examples downstairs, and I can have your room done by the time you are back tomorrow from school. All you have to do is pick a colour you like, dear."
O.O
The night had gone by really well. After Mama Higurashi showed me to my new room she had left to start dinner, leaving me to unpack. Even though I protested saying that I could help her. She simple said that it was no problem, and she walked out leaving me with a small black radio and my thoughts.
Turing on the radio to my favourite pop station and deciding to only unpack the necessary things like my bed and a few things I would need tomorrow for school because of the room being painted any ways tomorrow. I was visited by the soft sound of knocking on my door a few songs later and a very cheeky looking Sota. Who had "Come Baring Gifts'!" where is precise words he used I think. The gifts being colour samples and the news that dinner was ready in five minutes.
After an absolutely amazing dinner made by Mama, I finally meet Grandpa Higurashi. Who kept saying that he always knew he had a long lost granddaughter, even though he already knew I was really Kagome Satoru. He kept saying, "Nonsense, you look just like Tendo did at your age!" After many funny stories and greetings of sweet dreams for the night we all left the small, homey table to our own bedrooms.
Throughout the whole time I was with them, I never once thought about why I was really here... What had happened to my parents that night of the fire.
Rolling onto my side on the double bed that was placed up against the left hand corner of the room, not paying notice to the pink blankets wrinkled with my movements I stared out through the window to the star light sky, hoping to find all the answers written in the bright lights.
How am I to live with the fact that they died and I lived? I should have died in that fire, but somehow the firemen arrived in time to stop it for consuming up the rest of the house and myself.
The tears that I had been forcing to stay at bay started to pour freely from my eyes, as the view of the night sky became clouded with my line of tears. Trying my best to stop the sobs escaping my through from being too loud, I didn't notice when I had fallen asleep before the sound of an ear piercing noise - the alarm clock that sat next to my bed brought me back to reality.
Rolling towards the side of the bed a menacing death glaring was sent towards the cursed device and whoever made them before I pulling the blankets back over my head in the hopes of hiding away from reality… from the pain.
It was all in vain though when the sheets where pulled back and I was pulled from the warm cocoon of my bed by a very happy boy wearing a blue sweeter and brown pants.
"Come on Kagome! Stop being so lazy and get up!" He yelled.
"Eght, do I gotta'?" groaning a bit and leaned back towards the bed, hoping my weight would be too much for my new, little brother and send me flying back towards the comfort from before out of his grip. But it didn't work apparently he was stronger than he looked and soon I found myself being dragged out the door and back down the hall towards the bathroom.
Pushing me into the cold, tiled room and closing the door behind me. His voice only just audio through the wooden door as he told me to hurry up, protesting that it was the first day back and wanting every day to count, plus he wanted to catch up with all of his 'cool' friends. Rolling my eyes a smile quickly formed on my face at how cute he was, he's the little brother anyone would be lucky to have.
Stripping off my clothing as I turned on the shower testing the temperature before stepping in, my mind was running through a thousand concerns and wonders per second of what my new life held in store for me, and before I knew it I found myself heading out the door with my bag in hand following the Higurashi's to their dark blue, Hyundai.
Pulling on the fabric of the black raw hemmed denim shirt I had subconsciously chosen to wear as I sat in the back seat of the car, the nervousness of what was going to happen was suddenly hitting me straight in the face, and the matching long sleaved silk shirt that had once sat comfortably around my abdomen, becoming tighter the closer we got to my new school.
The ever-increasing butterflies in my stomach not helping, not one bit.
Where on Earth is Miroku when you need him?!
I thought, forcing myself from possibly pulling my skirt apart by wrapping my arms around my middle, hoping to also stop the circus happening in there.
I'm about ready to call it quits and run back to the shrine with my tail between my legs!
Yeah Ok. I can NOT do THIS!
Just as I was opening my mouth to say that I was feeling sick or something, anything to get me away from here.
Mama's voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts or escape.
"There it is Kagome."
Directing with her head towards a large set of golden gaits that had pink decorations across the top…
"St. Hijiri High"
I breathed, reading the pink decorative writing across the top.
As Mrs Higurashi turned the leather wheel making the car softly turning through the gates I looked out the tinted window to see the surrounding of St. Hijiri High while Sota giggling in the background saying that my eyes were about to fall out of their sockets with how wide they had become.
"These place it beautiful"
I managed to breathe out as we pulled into one of the car parks, ignoring his last statement.
"Girls…"
Sota teased looking past me in the direction that I was looking, and that's when his face changed to one of amazement as well to the sight of the surrounding grounds.
Sure, girls Sota.
Snickering to myself mentally as I looked at him in the corner of my eye, I swear I could see drool starting to pool out of his still open mouth, with a jaw that looked close to touching the floor. Simply shaking my head and looking back at the magical place surrounding us that reminded me so much of the Shrine. Suddenly the thought that we were still sitting in a car ogling at the gardens surrounding fountains with shaped hedges like a kid in a lolly shop over a candy in the glass cabinet. Meaning we must look pretty strange, I decide to pull on the handle making the dark doors open up as my boots made contact with the smooth road of the car park, with white lines that looks almost as bright as the stars themselves.
Do they come out here and polish them with tooth brushes and tooth paste or something?
St. Hijiri High was known as the best school in the whole area, but not just anyone got in and what happened in the school wasn't really talked about. They were the best at everything, always coming first in every competition, no matter who the rival is.
It was almost like a secret village - or one might even say community with the size of the school - that people knew about, but didn't at the same time. Completely off the grid with their own power and water supply from the river that run through the school. A large oval on one side of the massive building that consisted as the main area of the school, and it the background curling around the left-hand side of the school area was a large forest.
"Sota dear, common I have to take you to school still. So say goodbye to your sister." I didn't even notice that he had followed me out, but by the sounds of things he isn't going anywhere fast.
"But can't I just come to school here, it looks so cool, Mama!"
Yep, just what I thought
Mentally sighing at just how childish her new little brother could be as their mother automatically wound down the driver's window. From the corner of my eye I could only just make out the shape of her head moving from side to side.
Sota just looking pleading towards his mother.
Drooling no less, Thanks for the backup Gramp's.
Sota mentally added as he rolled his eyes after spotting his elder through the now open window fast asleep.
Snapping back to reality to quickly hiding behind his sister as Mama Higurashi started too open the door to take a step out, hoping that she could somehow get her son to get back into the car.
"Now Sota we can't…"
"Now Sota, you'll be here in only a few more years. So don't worry."
Miroku suddenly appeared out of nowhere leaning on the side of the car in a pair of black jeans with a chain across the left and a dark blue, V-necked shirt that showed off his slightly toned upper body as the sleeves rolled up in the 'cool' style. At Miroku's unexpected appearance Kagome swore she had jumped 16 feet into the air out of fright.
She had been happily looking in awe as the other students walked around the gardens and river while Sota cowered behind her. Looking longingly at a group sitting closer to the car park were with other laughing or playing music as a group of boys where running around practicing footy.
"Wait! Really Miro!"
Sota had always had a strange sense for nicknames, but Miroku just shrugged it off and nodded his head, but wished he hadn't afterwards when Sota started to jump around like a lunatic leaving his hiding place.
A few other students glancing their way with funny looks, anima sweating him quickly took action to try and calm the young boy down before he had a heart attack, or got them kicked out of the car park for jumping on the principles car.
"Wow, calm down. You still have a few years, and beside you have to do well at school to make sure you get in OK? And that means no being late."
Sota suddenly stopped his crazy high jumps, and looked between Kagome, Miroku and then back at his Mother.
"WHAT ARE WE STILL DOING HERE THEN MOM? Lets' GO!"
Making a mad rush to the still open car door like the hounds of hell where at his heals, he muttered a quick 'by sis' as the blur of Sota sprang into the car, telling his mother now to stopping being so slow. Shaking her head and muttering something about kids under her breath before starting up the car. Kagome was just fast enough to grab he bag from the back seat before they drove off, leaving her and Miroku standing, wondering how Sota can could possibly be anymore stranger.
"He is so crazy."
"Hey, you're the one who is related to him Eri."
Miroku said, making a clear emphasis on the last word.
Suddenly reality came crashing back to me again.
"I'd almost forgotten about that."
She is Eri Higurashi, big sister, oldest long-lost daughter and the granddaughter to the owner of the Higurashi Shrine. Her father had lost his life in a car accident when she was eight and Sota was only one year old the same time that she went missing. Well that's what everyone thinks. It's amazing how one-person life story can change to a complete new book just in a day.
Miroku must have sensed my changed in mood, because I suddenly felt his arms around my shoulders leading me towards the open doors of the school, the sunlight reflecting through the stained windows that created an image I couldn't quite make out making the ground bellow look like a mix of different lights and colours.
"Sorry, don't worry. Everything will be ok Kagome."
He said softly into my ear, so that no one else could hear as they walked past.
"I sure hope you're right Miroku."
"Well, aren't I always right?!"
He spoke back while pulling his arm away from my shoulder as we walked inside the giant hall trying to lighten things up he turned towards me, putting on the best-hurt face that he could muster Miroku placed his right hand over his heart showing that he was feeling "hurt".
I couldn't help but laugh, Miroku always found a way to lighten up the darkest moments. He was like the big brother I never had, always looking out for me and I sure do love him dearly because of it.
Finally able to face him properly, the pain of laughing so hard protesting a bit with my ribs but I managed to finally straighten up enough to look at him grinning down at me. Everyone glancing our way now and then to see what all the laughter was about giving us a variety of strange looks, but that only fuelled the laughers even more.
After a while of laughs and strange looks I cast my eyes to notice that we were still standing in the middle of the doorway to the giant hall, the wooden floors polished to the point where you could almost use it as a mirror. From the outside the school building looks like a giant rectangle, but now that I was inside the giant sandstone building I was able to see that my hunch was only partly correct.
The hall separated both left and right, down the full length of the building but it also had a path going straight ahead, through the centre of the rectangle building through another garden, well this one looked more like a mini forest or something, just surrounded by safety glass.
So many different types of trees and creepers, I'm not even able to name all of them, as they all reaching up past the four stories of the building towards the glass ceiling above.
Straining my neck I could only just see the tops of them, and other than the hall surrounded by glass like a doom going through the middle of this mini forest it was virtually impossible to see past the first few meters inside the dense forest.
It was like teasing a baby with a lollypop, the sudden eager to find a way inside and explore this area was almost impossible to ignore.
I wonder what that's all about. I don't think I've ever heard of a school being so big and having a mini forest in the centre of it?
Looking around again Miroku following my gaze every time, I turned to face where the hall split to go down the eastern side of the building. There were lots of students still walking around, meaning that class undoubtedly wouldn't start any time soon, many of them where standing at their lockers along the wooden interior walls or just walking with friend.
"Ah, there she is" Miroku suddenly said in a dreamy voice, while snickering to himself.
"There who is? Miroku?"
But he either didn't hear me or chose not to listen. He simply walked past me towards a girl with brown hair, putting up posters on what one could only guess to be the schools news walls.
What's gotten into him?!
Following my only guide, friend and protector towards the girl, I noticed that she must be athletic with the shape of her body. While she wasn't dressing to impress by showing off her body like a slut it was impossible to not see her natural figure.
Her back was turned towards use, still not knowing she had a doe-eyed black head approaching her from behind. As she continued with her work, her ruffled hot pink singlet shirt moving slighting as she moved in her dark-blue washed jeans and matching jacket. Her brown ankle boots making a slight clicking noise as she moved to pick up another poster from her brown leather handbag sitting on the floor.
"SLAP…." The entire school halls suddenly fell quite and all anyone could hear was the sound of only very angry girl "Miroku why you!" Knowing that it was the usual clash, everyone in the halls got back to what they were doing; complete forgetting about what had just happened.
"I've missed you to, Dear Sango."
Miroku said, after everyone got back to their past tasks, making a grab of her behind with his right hand. Only ended with another slap across the face making the already red handprint on his right check even darker.
"Oh no you doing, I've fallen for that one before. Not this time."
There was literally steam coming for this girl's ear.
"You know it's not me Sango, it this cursed right hand. It has a mind of its own I swear!"
Thinking that she should save her friend from possible getting knocked out, Kagome cleared her through hoping to grab the girl's attention.
"Ugh I've had just about… Huh"
Sango's completely forgot what she was going to say when she heard the sound of someone close lightly coughing. Lowing her hand and looking behind an uneasy Miroku, her brown eyes noticed a girl around her age with dark hazel eyes and dark raven hair pulled back into a high pony tail like her own. But unlike her straight brown long hair, this girl's was wavy and looked to only come to her mid back.
"Ah, Sango."
Miroku said stepping to the side of the two girl and clearing his thought.
"This is Eri Higurashi. Eri this is the beloved Sango Taijiya."
"Miroku"
Sending a threatening glare back at the man, before brushing it off and turning her attention to the new student before her.
"It's nice to meet you Eri."
Stepping past Miroku toward, her own brown eyes took in her appearance fully. Wearing a deep blue long V-necked shirt, black raw hemmed skirt and a matching pair of stocking with dark black ankle boots you could tell she could pull of any style with no trouble. Her dark green handbag big enough to hold everything needed for school sat lightly off her right shoulder as a green stone ring and Pandora bracelet glistened in the sunlight.
"It's nice to meet you as well Sango Taijiya."
Taking Sango's extended hand to shake.
"Sango's fine."
Letting go of her hand.
"So you're new here."
It was more a statement then a question by I replied anyway.
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm more than happy to show you around if you'd like? Have you gotten your timetable yet?"
Walking to pick up her bag, Sango then went around and linked arms with me like we where old friends.
"Umm, no not yet."
"I thought so. Well let's go, we can talk more on the way there."
Sango could tell that she was human, but that didn't make sense then why she would have come to school here. However, she knew that it wasn't really any of her business, and it wouldn't stop her from being friend with the girl. The first day in a new place was always the worst, and it would be even more hell here.
They just don't understand that there is a time and a place for the newbie's.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice the nervous look Eri sent at Miroku asking for what she should do.
Kagome already liked this Sango, and through that she reminded her so much of her old friends but she didn't know if she was allowed to leave Miroku this being her first day here and all.
He just nodded his head, and said he would catch up with them later, and they when their separate ways and the last things I saw before we rounded the corner to go up a set of stairs to the next level was Miroku continuing down towards a group of people in the other direction.
O.O
"Here we go Eri. Your timetable, pass codes to the system and locker number for the third level. Sango can you help her out."
Said the lady sitting across the desk ask she handed the piece of paper to Kagome across the desks surface.
"Yeah, it's no problem. Well. Have a good day."
Sango said, linking arms with me again leading us both out of the small office on the third level. Apparently each different level meant different thing, the third level is basically seen as a private level for only the seniors apparent as the freshes' basically hang in the lower levels. She went through want she did on the long break before coming back to school.
"Well let's have a look at what you have then, shall we?"
Sango's voice brought me back to the present and I quickly passed her the paper copy of my timetable. She hummed to herself for a while before stating that we both had Language and Art together and that everyone in our grade had FSF together in third period.
"FSF?"
I asked.
"You know, Feudal Self Defence."
She stated not once looking up from the piece of paper still in her hand.
"By the look of things you're with the Spiritual's I think?"
"Wait. WHAT!"
O.O
Hehehe, so Kags doesn't know everything about who she is?!
Well please remember to review and comment, I would love to hear what you guys think. And I'm working on updating faster.
Until Next Time,
Peace Out! ^-^
Next Time:
What is real and what isn't?
I'm so confused, everything I thought I knew has been through out of balance, and a certain someone isn't helping it one bit. He just had to go and call me wench…
Join me next time for Chapter 3 of Hero in the Dark… Honeyed.
