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.5: No charge

.............. Third hour, Friday.

"Hey, Rin, isn't it?" Kagome asked, approaching the small brunette she had discovered to be in her Algebra II and Modern Technology classes.

"Yes," She smiled prettily, "How did you know?"

"We have a mutual friend.... Shippo?" Kagome's smile was only slightly coy as she waited to see how Rin would react.

He face lit up and blushed slightly, before she dimmed her mega-watt smile in an attempt at nonchallance to ask, "Oh, did he mention me?"

"Yeah, he definitely did," Kagome responded, changing the subject before it turned into a 'does he like me, I think I like him...' conversation. "Anyways, My name's Kagome. Some friends and I were going to have kind of a girls night out thing tonight, I was wondering if you wanted to come?" It would be a great opportunity to find out about Shippo's new girl, and one Sango had practically insisted on after Shippos millionth haiku dedicated to her just in the last week.

"Sure, i'd love to."

"Cool, just meet us up in Midoriko house around eight-ish okay?" With another smile Kagome returned to her seat and Sota leaned over to murmer, "Who's that?"

"Oh, Rin... Shippo's girlfriend."

"Shippo has a girlfriend?" Sota's scream echoed across the room.

"Shut up Sota! Geeze, not yet, and not ever if you go around saying things like that!"

"But...?" Sota started in confusion when Kouga shook his head at him.

"Just give it up man," Kouga said sympathetically, "Stop while you're ahead."

..................Fifth hour, still Friday.

"Spells and Potions is probably the most useful class taught here..." Ms. Yura continued, batting her lashes for the thousandth time, in Sesshomaru's direction.

"What would you say to me if I told you that you could have..." Yura coninued, leaning over Sesshomaru's desk to better ensure that he caught the full splendor of her breasts, showcased at their best in her skin tight magenta blouse, with a plunging neckline. ".... anything you wanted?" Her eyes met his and held, suggestively, for several long seconds, then she stretched her arms above her and gave a soft moan of contentment, before slowly moving on.

"Well you can. If you wanted... a hot fudge sunday, it would be just a wish away, if you wanted a new car, a new wardrobe, or even... a certain someone," Here she paused to slowly lick her lips, "There are millions of spells and potions out there that could help you to attain these things, whether it's material possesions, or the ability to become irresistable... "

"Man she wants you!" Inuyasha said to his brother in shock.

"Deductive, aren't you?" Was all Sesshomaru said in response.

"So class, I guess what i'm really trying to say is, what is it that you want?" She asked.

"I know what I want!" Inuyasha decided loudly.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed, disgusted. "Be quiet and.... eat your sunday!" And with that one appeared before him, Kagome hoped it tasted like chalk.... but it did look pretty good....

With that three more appeared for herself, Hojo, and even Sesshomaru and they all began to eat with relish.

".... Because you can have anything at all with magic if you just want it enou....what are you guys doing?" Yura demanded, with a haughty little stamp of her foot.

"Just eating sundays ma'am." Hojo responded earnestly.

"I cannot believe you Inuyasha...." Kagome continued, as though Yura were not there.

"What?" He asked, over a mouthful of fudge. "I just... oh! Hey.... Kagome I meant a Sunday!"

"Sure you did."

............Midoriko house common room 8:25pm.

"Okay, I think we're ready. So it's me, you, Ayame, and.... where's Rin?" Kagome asked, glancing around.

"Beats me." Ayame put in, but she didn't turn her face as she held her compact in one hand and applied a little last minute mascara with the other.

"It's called a girl's night out Ayame, as in no boys, as in we're not going to leave these boys to go and find more..." Sango exclaimed, her own face au naturale and her hair in a messy bun.

"Nothing wrong with a little basic maintenance." Ayame sniffed, with a glance over at Sango.

"Why you...!" Sango said, eyes narrowed, hands outstretched.

"You guys let's not...." Kagome protested, trying to seperate the two.

"What's up?" Rin asked, causing all three to jump apart in shock.

"How did you get in here?" Sango demanded again, alarm ripe in her voice, did no one knock?

"Oh, sorry, it's an elf thing, you know, excellent with a bow, incredible speed, and the ability to warp, yadda yadda...." She explained, smiling sheepishly.

"Hu." Was all they said in reply.

....... Still later.

Ayame, Rin, and Sango stood about in a nearby department store, full bags at their sides as they waited.

"Come on Kagome, come out and let us see." Sango encouraged.

"Yeah, let's see what's cookin' good lookin!'" Ayame agreed.

"Fine guys, but you have to promise not to laugh." Kagome said firmly, stepping out from the changing room to a round of low, long whistles from the girls.

"Nothin' to laugh at there, you're smoking girlie!" Ayame cheered.

"It's so pretty!" Rin added, in recognition of the sheer lacy violet nighty they had harrassed Kagome into trying on.

"I don't know," Kagome said uncertainly, "It's really short and almost see-through...."

She looked down and blushed slightly at the sight of herself in the little strapless number, it barely covered her, well ... anything. "Besides when would I wear it?"

"When wouldn't you wear it, that's the question." Ayame put in, nodding her head sagely.

"That looks fantastic on you Kagome, maybe I should get one..." Sango intoned, glancing back at where an assortment of them hung.

"Thinking of Miroku are we?" Ayame purred, her smile devilish as Sango blushed down to her toes.

Despite their taunts all three wandered back to have a look as Kagome went back in to change, and quickly. She'd have to buy it anyway, if she didn't Sango would buy it for her.

"Oh no you don't!" Kagome heard Sango shout in alarm. "Rin, put it back, our little Shippo isn't ready for that kind of thing!!!"

................. With the boys.

"So bored....... so so bored..........so..."

"Inuyasha, cut it out." Sota groaned, flopping down on Kouga's couch.

"Wonder what the girls are doing?" Kouga asked alloud as he flipped through the channels, stopping only when baywatch appeared on the screen.

"Man I lost a guy!" Shippo screamed in dismay from his place on a black beanbag chair with his DS.

"Super Mario?" Hojo asked, peering with interest over Shippo's shoulder.

"Super Mario." Shippo responded.

"Hey I have an idea," Inuyasha intoned excitedly, glancing up from the floor.

"What's that?" Sota asked, propping himself lazily up onto an elbow.

"Let's hunt up one of those crystal ball thingies and get it to show us the girls." They all turned to stare, shocked at his dead-pan expression, he was serious.

"You idiot," Kouga snorted in disgust, "That only works in the movies!"

Miroku hummed quietly from his place at the computer as he entered a chat room.

They sat in relative silence for several moments.

"But seriously, what could they be doing?" Kouga demanded loudly of the room in general.

"Hey guys, wanna know what Superhotblondgirl982 is doing?" Miroku asked innocently, leaning back to glance at them all, and wiggling his eyebrows.

"....... yeah."

..............Back to the girls

After shopping they'd hit a movie, then a little restaurant for dinner. After 45 minutes of waiting Kagome had decided to to go out and get some air and told them as much. She'd decided to take a walk around the pier to clear her head. The sun had just set and she thought how much she loved this time of day, just before complete darkness fell when the stars began to shimmer into life above her and the world became fuzzy and insubstantial with the mysteries of night.

She breathed contently as she meandered allong, she wasn't in any hurry after all. That waitress could not be any slower if someone took a brick to her head.

The moon came out as darkness fell and Kagome glanced up at it, loving how it glowed through the wiry shapes of the tree limbs, having lost most of thier leaves with winter's approach.

She went several more blocks before looking around, and realizing she didn't quite know where she was.

"Crap," She muttered, rifling her cell phone out of the deep confines of her purse and flipping it open. No charge. "Uh oh." Oh well, she though to herself, no big deal. She decided that she couldn't be that far from the restaurant and besides, it wasn't really all that dark yet in any case, she added, trying to force down that first tickle of fear.

She wandered down that streets, for what felt like hours as darkness lay heavy all around her. She was looking for landmarks that seemed familiar, or at least shops that didn't have bars on the windows where she could ask directions....

Why were there never any phonebooths in these kinds of neighborhoods....

Kagome wound her way back up several blocks and found herself still hopelessly lost.

Several men, built and laughing, stumbled out of what looked like a bar across the street and Kagome hurried to pass by.

"Hey cutie," One of the biggest shouted in a slightly slurred flirtation. "You want a good time, you come right on over here little missy." He informed her gesturing toward himself in a very specific way.

Kagome didn't respond and quickened her steps, which didn't seem to make the guy very happy if what he said next was any indication.

"You get yourself over here you little bitch, or i'll make sure it ain't any kinda good time for you!" With that outburst he and his drunken buddies headed toward her and Kagome started to run.

Her flight had lasted several minutes before she came to an abrupt halt. "Dead end darling," Said another, his tone bitterly sweet. "Don't worry, none of us mind sharing sweety." He added, his tone good natured as he nodded toward his group of friends.

She looked behind her and saw a large highway, around her and saw tall fences. She was a fairy for crying out loud, she could deal with this right? Wrong. One of them made his way eagerly toward her, grasping her waiste with his pudgy hand, and Kagome's mind went blank with fear.

As the sound of squealing tires and the scent of burning rubber assaulted her the man dropped his hand in sudden fright. A silver mercedes came to a sudden hault beside her and the passenger door flew open.

She heard the shoat from inside, in an angry, masculine tone, "Get in!" and she dove.
