Darkness High

by fairyenchantress

Summary: Kag/ Sessh. He leaned toward her, his fangs gleaming in the moonlight. His hair cast a silver curtain over her face, isolating them from the world around. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt those fangs graze her neck and her eyes widened for the first time in genuine fear. As if from a distance she heard his voice gently murmer, "welcome to darkness Kagome."

Extended Summary: Kagome and Sota are taken in by foster parents after thier parents die in a car wreck. They are quickly sent to a boarding school. But this isn't any boarding school, it's Darkness. Here Magical beings are taught the art of thier crafts, elfs, monks, witches, gnomes, warlocks, and even... demons. They are rumored to be out of existance but Kagome soon realizes that in one certain case they are very much alive.

Ch 2: Seeing your face

............Second Period, still day one

"Well, what a relief!" Came a voice from beside her as Kagome looked up from the seat she had chosen in third period. A tan boy with long black hair bound in a sleek ponytail plopped down beside her and flashed her a charming grin. "I've been so nervous about this class," He continued, as though the two were old friends. "You know, Algebra II, i'm no good with that stuff. But now it's obvious i've learned all the math i'll need to know for this year." He finished, his smile vibrant.

"And, what's that?" Kagome asked uncertainly.

"I've learned that you, plus me equals..." And with that he grabbed her hand, dropped to his knees and began to sing in debonair fashion, "So happy together..." Despite herself Kagome laughed, what was with this school and spontaneous song?

"I'm Kouga, and you're...?" He asked smoothly, bringing her hand to his lips.

"Kagome."

"Well Kagome it's lucky for you that you ran into me," Kouga continued.

"Is it really?" Kagome wondered, hoping he was about to be in a musical or something otherwise...

"I assume you're new, i'd remember a face like yours. I just happen to be the best guide on campus and i'd be more than willing to show you around." His voice was cheerful.

His eyes turned speculative as another boy sat down on her other side, blew the raven bangs from his face and smiled at Kagome.

"Sota!" Kagome said happily, leaning over to give him a quick hug. "Don't you look pretty in your little red uniform?" She asked, only slightly jealous.

"Kagome, how many times do I have to tell you that i'm a man?" Sota demanded for the millionth time, his voice breaking in exasperation. "I burp, and fix things and... and say terribly dirty jokes.... and all other sorts of manly things! Women may look 'pretty' in clothes but on a man clothes are not pretty!"

"Oh, but Sota, you're even prettier when you're angry!"

...................................Lunch Time............................

Kagome glanced down at her schedule and sighed with relief, lunch time at last, her favorite subject!

Grabbing her tray and a soft drink Kagome glanced around her when she heard an already familiar voice.

"Hey there Kagome, why don't you come sit with me?" Kouga invited from a few tables back, rising and pulling the seat beside him out for her. Looking around and seeing no other familiar faces Kagome decided she'd have to risk it, even if the guy did seem a little off, and made her way toward the table. As she sat down she saw another guy, also in the copper robes of Reukotsie house like Kouga.

"Oh, this is my buddy Hakkaku," He informed her. "And Hakkaku this is my woman Kagome," Kouga introduced proudly, pulling her seat closer and wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Kouga, i'm not your..." She began, wrenching his arm from her person.

"Kagome!" Came a male shout from across the cafeteria, his mess of orangeish-red hair a blur as he rocketed over and threw his over sized freshmen form into her arms.

"Hey Shippo! I haven't seen you since Sota and I left the old neighborhood." Kagome said excitedly, simaltaneously motioning Sango over.

"Geeze, quite the party." Was all she said as she levitated a small plastic chair from another table to thiers just as an overweight elf was about to take his seat and came crashing to the ground stupendously.

"My bad."

"So Kagome," Kouga started, his lips near her ear, "What do you think of my red uniform?"

....................0 Later after classes 0...........

"Well," Sango continued, as they headed toward a table in the cafeteria for dinner that evening after takling two heaping loads of homework. They walked briskly, trays massively piled with food, in hand. "I kind of like this one guy... Miroku. You've heard me talk about him before, and he's in our magic in history class..."

"Oh, yeah..." Kagome recalled, "The one that grabbed your but in the hall last year and said he thought you were falling..."

Sango blushed profusely and waved her hands in front of her face. "It's just, he can be really sweet sometimes you know? Don't get me wrong he's a complete lecher, and not just with me, but tons of other girls too, so probably nothing will ever come of it or anything like that and..." She ended, her eyes pleading with Kagome's.

"Your secret's safe with me girlie." Kagome answered with a laugh, magically adding some pudding to her tray and cringing at its' slightly sour taste. She'd have to practice with the whole food thing...

"And what about you kags? Kouga seems... interested." Sango finished lamely.

"I guess but that doesn't mean I am, were you there when he introduced me to Hakkaku as 'his woman?' And this morning, when we met, he launched into this whole song..."

..................Later

Kagome sat cross legged on her bed. She'd changed out of her violet and cream plaid skirt and blouse into some comfortable jeans and a tank top after a quick bath. Throwing her head back in frustration, she groaned aloud. It had been a long... long crazy day.

She'd met Kouga and seen Sango, Shippo, Sota, and even Hojo from elementary school. She'd dodged arrows, faced down demon dummies, nearly been blown up, and had been serenaded on several occasions, yet all she could think about was that boy from this morning.

The look in his eyes when he'd seen her, the way his hands had tightened almost painfully around her when he'd been forced to catch her after that immobility charm, and the way he'd dropped her as though disgusted the first chance he got and barged from the room.

That jerk! What was his problem anyway? She hadn't said two words to the guy and he was going to treat her like that? Well the next time she saw him she was going to give him a piece of her mind that was for sure! She'd let him know that nobody.... but he had seemed so familiar though, hadn't he? She could have sworn that she had seen him... somewhere before....

............... That night................

Kagome tossed and turned under the silver comforter of her bed, her silk nightgown tangling around her as she struggled to get comfortable. Despite this it wasn't long before she found herself dreaming, found herself in the moonlight....

She hadn't wanted to come, she didn't want to find him. She tried to turn back but found herself in the depths of the woods and she didn't know which way back was. Coming to a halt under a tree she sat down and pulled her knees up, holding them against her chest. She knew she was dreaming, just as she knew she would not yet be able to wake up.

"What are you doing here!?" The voice, the anger it held, startled her into rising. There he stood, his back sillouheted against the foilage, silver hair cascading around with the force of the wind, and the violet crescent on his forhead promminent against the pallor of his skin.

"Well? Answer me! Why do you keep coming here, why keep torturing me this way?" He asked again, grabbing her shoulders roughly and giving her one quick, frustrated, shake.

"I.... I don't mean to torture you.... I...." Kagome began, unsure of how to respond.

"Ahh!" His cry held all the frustration and anger he kept so bottled up as he slammed a fist brutally into a nearby tree, easily knocking it to its' side and causing Kagome to jump back in alarm. "I... know you don't but you've no idea what this is doing to me," He murmered, taking several slow, ragged breaths. Glancing over toward her he seemed to come to his senses. "But come on then, the woods aren't safe for the likes of you, even in dreams." He held his clawed hand out toward her as though resigned. Glancing around her at the dark shadows of the depthless woods, she took it and held it tight as he led her safely from one form of danger, and toward another altogether. "At least your scent is more easily tollerated in dreams," He said, as though to himself as they reached the clearing.

She had just let out a small sigh of relief when, abruptly, she woke up. Her eyes widened in alarm at what looked like claw marks slowly fading from her shoulders.

........................................................................,................................................,.....................................................................

A/n: Ch. 2 is done, yay! I know this story might be a little bit confusing, especially if you've never read 'Twilight,' but it'll get clearer. I made demons kind of different in this story as I said so.... well it'll be explained as it goes I suppose.

Well anyways that's it for right now, I hope you guys liked it okay, and go ahead and review to let me know how you felt or if you have ideas or suggestions or anything like that, as long as it has nothing to do with my spelling, as i've said with no spell check that's a hopeless effort if ever I encountered one...

See you all soon, i'll probably go ahead and post all of these chapters at once and then slowly add in more as I come up with them...

By for now!
