Secrets Revealed
Kagome POV
Never could Kagome slowly wake up like a normal human. The three years she had spent in the feudal era. When you slept in the woods and could be attacked at any moment you got into a habit of waking up quickly and you were automatically alert. It was never until she was sure that her room was safe and there were no untold dangerous that she could enjoy the morning. As she sat up she realized that she was truly happy, one day of school and she had met many different people and made one quick friend. There was something different about him though and no matter how hard she tried to figure it out, she couldn't. 'How can one person give off a human aura one moment and then a demonic one the next? Even if the human aura was strong, were was the demonic energy coming from?'
"I just have to my answers today at the park. That's most likely what he was going to do anyway. What else could he want the demonic energy he gives of every other moment is that of a demon fox?" She said remembering how Shippo was never happy unless he had the full story or all of his questions were answered. Sango said it was just a natural behavior for all foxes, and it probably made him the smartest in the whole group. Shippo had laughed and agreed, but Inu Yasha had gladly taken it upon himself to smack the young fox on the head and burst his bubble.
Today she would get answers, if there was away to get in-between the worlds she would have to know about it. After all she had a dear friend that she had promised to visit. Kagome got out of bed and started getting ready for school, the second she was ready she bid goodbye to her family and started speed walking to school.
With Kagome (No POV for awhile now)
When Kagome reached to school gates she met with Kira, a girl who Kagome had Spanish and Self Defense with. Kira was tall around five feet seven inches and her caramel colored hair was shining in the sun. Her eyes were a warm chocolate brown and she had more that a few freckle dotting her nose and cheeks. Kagome knew that a friendship with the girl could fun, easy (no hostile mood swings) and best of all she knew that Kira was someone who could be counted on to be the shoulder to cry on.
"Hi, Kira!" Kagome said in as cheerful a voice as she could manage. The other good thing about Kira was that she had moved from Peru, and she was looking to make friends in a new school as well.
"Oh hello, Kagome how are you?" Kagome suppressed the need to giggle for Kira sounded so wistful as if some one coming up and talking to her was a dream come true.
"I'm fine, how about you?" Kagome asked this day was already starting out perfectly.
"Great, I just can't believe how friendly every one here is. At my old school almost every one was a grouch. It was so hard to find some one to talk to. You're new here too, what do you think?" After Kira said that both girls were launched into a conversation in which much was learned and a new friendship was created. They parted saying that they would see each other in Spanish. One of the only classes Kagome was unsure about; she was never able to study it in the feudal era because Japan and Spain would become allies for many, many years to come.
When she walked into Advanced Calculus the teacher immediately grabbed her aside.
"Tell me Kagome would you be interested in being on the school math team? We could really use someone as talented as you on the team." Mr. Ukiya asked with a slight smile on his face. When one sees him they would immediately think 'Math Dork'. It was true as well from what Kagome had seen from his antics in math.
"I don't know if I can, I was planning on joining the archery team. I don't know the schedule, but if everything looks like it will work out then I would love to join the math team." Kagome said, to be truthful she knew that she could join and she wanted to. The archery only met on Saturday mornings and practiced for two to three hours. Math team was on Monday, Wednesday and Friday everyday after school for about two hours. She just didn't want to sound like to big of a nerd in front of the whole class, this early in the year.
"Okay, but tell me as soon as you find out whether or not you can join, the team this year is pretty good but with some one as talented as yourself it could be the best team this school has had in at least twenty years. Ah, yes now Kagome could feel her face flush with embarrassment.
"I think I'll join. The archery team can't have every practice and competition at the same time as the math teams." Kagome decided she might as well join she had already gotten a few looks from different people in the room. She left to got sit in her seat just as Shuichi entered the room. Her seat was by the window, her whenever she gazed to her right she could see the birds as they flew around. Shuichi sat to her left, not more that two feet away. The class was small there were maybe twelve people in the class because it was so difficult. They class went by quickly and at the end two pages of hard core calculus was assigned to be complete and turned in when you walked into the classroom the next day.
For Kagome AP History was enjoy able. They were learning about the most famous monarchs throughout all the history of every country. Shuichi sat on the other side of the room by the window so Kagome had no time to study him and figure out what he was or what could be happening. Homework for history was a page on what the all the students hoped to learn from this class. It wouldn't be to hard probably it would only take ten minutes at the most. This class had a few more students, around twenty but it still wasn't full because not many students had an interest in history. Kagome was able to make another friend though. She had the same name as one of Kagome's friends from her last school, it was Yuri. Yuri had black hair that was kept in a low pony tail that reached her mid back. Her eyes were a dark brown. Yuri planned on being a Historian, her biggest plan was to be able to move to America and work at one of the big museums they had in the capital.
Spanish was perfect they had no homework just worked on taking notes then they were given the last fifteen minutes to talk amongst themselves. All they had to do was make sure that no English or Japanese was said seeing as it was a Spanish class. All the students had been taking Spanish for at least three years so much was said even if it wasn't the best use of Spanish.
AP English was anything but wonderful. As soon as role was taken the teacher had the students start working on a story outline, for a ten thousand word essay that would be due as soon as the weekend was done. It would work out okay seeing as today was Thursday. The outline was given to the teacher as everyone exited the class. In the class she met an interesting boy named Kaitou. He was by all means a genius. When they had both finished they had talked about their favorite writers and the best works known to mankind. They seemed to have a lot in common; the only thing wrong was that there was an energy coming off of him that marked him as a psychic. That didn't bug Kagome because from the waves she was getting she could tell that he had clear control over his gift.
Lunch was next and the moment she got outside to eat lunch Yuri called her over to eat lunch with her and the rest of her friends. Introductions were made and Kagome had met five girls who all seemed nice. There was Kei who was the star on the track team, her hair was black and kept really short. Then there was Yura who turned out to be the sister to both Yuri and Yuma, they were triplets. It could easily be seen they had their hair done the exact same way and even dressed alike. The only way Kagome could tell them apart was by feeling their life energy for no two life energies are they same. The last two were Kayo and Raito; they were kind and shy not much else could be said about them. Lunch went by swiftly, as all the girls shared little bits about their dreams and what they thought the school year would be like. As she left to go back inside she saw Kaitou standing with two boys that Yuma had mentioned and seemed to admire. The one with blond hair was Kido and the other one who looked like he had a huge purple hat on was Mitsunari. Both of them gave of the feeling of psychics, not amazingly strong but at least they seemed to have control. It was weird she had never known there to be so many gifted people in such a small area.
Advanced Physics was uneventful; every one was assigned to groups of four. Kagome was in a group with Shuichi, Kaitou and Raito who had mentioned during lunch that they shared this class. There were four groups total. Some of the faces Kagome could recognize but she didn't know any one outside of her group. It was easily seen that Raito had a crush on Shuichi and that Kaitou had a goal to out due Shuichi. This was going to prove to be a very interesting class. The day was spent going over the class rules and memorizing where everything was located.
Self Defense was fun as well. All the students were assigned lockers for their dress down clothes. Kira and Kagome received lockers right next to each other and the rest of the class of spent going over what was to be learned the rest of the semester. There were to be no self assigned fights, nothing other than defensive moves would take place inside of the class. When looking around Kagome saw that Kido and Mitsunari had this class and seemed rather bored. She had no idea as to why they would be bored, neither looked like they could last more than seven minutes in a real fight.
Psychology was going to prove to be one of Kagome's favorite classes. The teacher had started of the class by naming the different parts of the human brain and explaining what each part did. The homework that was assigned was rather easy all that was need to do was to sketch a copy of the brain, label it and then it your own words explain what each part did and how that was important, it was due at the beginning of the next day. Kagome loved to draw and if there were eight classes a day or any after school art activities she would have sighed up. Even drawing something easy like the brain would prove to be enjoyable for Kagome.
After class she met Shuichi at the gates and he led the way to the park. It was nothing more than a five minute walk, on the way to the park it was oddly silent as both tried to gather their thoughts and figure out what to say to the other.
When they entered the park and had been walking for a few minutes Kagome felt something all too familiar, it was a demon one that meant harm. She needed to get to it and stop it before it could harm any one but how was she going to explain this to Shuichi. She wouldn't have to for the next moment a huge demon that could be described with no words landed in the path twelve feet from them.
"Hey Kurama, get out of the way." A male voice shouted before Kagome saw a boy around her ago point his finger where his energy had been gathered. He yelled something that she couldn't make out before Shuichi grabbed her and moved her out of the way. A moment later they were behind the boy who had fired his energy at the demon. She looked past him and saw that the demon was unharmed, and it was heading their way.
Kagome acted on impulse as she brushed past the boy with the spirit finger, she had already grabbed a sacred sutra from her bag. She summoned her holy powers into the sutra and aimed at the demon. The moment after the sutra had been released from her hand the boy grabbed and pushed her behind him, he then turned to fire at the demon again only to see the sutra connect with the demons head. Then said demon fell living nothing but a pile of ash. He then turned to look at her. As she had just picked herself of the ground.
"What the hell was that?" He yelled at her. Kagome could tell right away that this wouldn't be fun. She debated between staying and running.
"Yusuke calm down, now Kagome it would be most wise if you could tell us what that was." With that said everything just seemed to come together. She backed up a little and was about to run, but she got no more than ten feet when a black blur ran up and stopped right in front of her.
"Don't even think of running, woman. Now explain." The demon was short, dressed all in black had red eyes that reminded her of Naraku. She didn't like the way he addressed her though so she summoned some of her miko powers and blasted him out of the way. She used enough power to hurt him but not enough to kill him. She then ran, fast not stopping tell she reached home.
Today had not been what she expecting, but at least she knew that there was a way to demon world. Now all that was left was for her to find it.
Kurama POV
I ran to Hiei to see if he were alright. Whatever Kagome had done had been strong but not strong enough to cause too much damage to Hiei. He had a large burn on his chest and the front of his shirt had been destroyed. I knew there had been something different about Kagome, but how had she destroyed a demon that came out unharmed after Yusuke had hit it with his Spirit Gun. Hiei was already starting to wake up and he didn't look the least bit happy. When Yusuke saw that Hiei was alright he asked the question that was most likely on both of their minds.
"Kurama, just who the hell was that?" He asked in a voice that sounded more angry than I was used to hearing from Yusuke.
"Her name is Kagome Higurashi. All that I know is that she lives at the Sunset Shrine and that she was able to transfer to my school this year. As for anything else, we should ask Koenma." I was unsure though as to what the young prince of spirit world would tell us.
Yusuke called Botan and had her make a portal to Spirit World for us, right after I had her heal the burn on Hiei's chest.
