Sorry for the short chapters and long update waits. School's started again so it's taking a while.
Chapter Two:New Girl, First Day and Friends to Keep P.O.V. NarratorIt was early when Kagome opened her eyes the next morning. 5:27am, but the sun was already rising, emitting an orange-red glow through her window. Kagome Higurashi, rubbing her eyes, got out of bed and stretched, then walked to the bathroom and took a shower.
A few minutes later, Kagome arrived back in her room feeling refreshed. It took a moment for her to remember that today was her first day as a boarder at Shikon High. Many thoughts spun around in her head. Would people like her? Would there be lots of homework? What would her teachers think of her? Kagome knew the school was great – she had been there on a interview, but at that time the halls of the boarding school were empty. Sighing, Kagome started to repack her clothes and un-decorate the wall.
In amongst her rummaging, Kagome heard her mobile ringing 'Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your girlfriend! No way! No way! I think you need a new one. Hey! Hey! You! You! I could be your girlfriend…' She ran around the room looking for it, but by the time she had found her phon, it had stopped ringing. One Missed Call. A.Y.E. 'Ayumi, Yuka and Eri's shared phone!' she thought. Sighing, Kagome finished packing up, stowing away her laptop and sliding her phone into her pocket. For some reason, she knew it was going to be a long day, and she walked downstairs to get some breakfast.
Two pieces of buttered toast and a cup of coffee later, Kagome went back to her room to check that she had packed everything. When she was finally satisfied, Kagome started to carry her luggage to the front door.
She had gotten all the bags to the foyer and was halfway through dragging her pull-along suitcase down the stairs, when her mobile started to beep, causing her to jump and drop the suitcase, which tumbled down the stairs. 'Well that solves that,' she thought, flipping her phone open.
"Hey-lo?" Kagome said.
"KAGOME!!!" screamed the phone, almost causing Kagome to jump again, "It's Ayumi, Yuka and Eri!".
"Hey girls! How are you?" Kagome replied.
"We're fine. How's you?"
"I'm alright. Today's my first day and I kinda feel-"
"Oh. Em. Gee. Kag's first day!" squealed Eri.
"Yea… I'm in the middle of getting my things" Kagome said, looking down the stairs at the forgotten suitcase.
"Oh? Then we'll call you back later Kags" replied Ayumi.
"Mmm… Ok then. Miss you guys"
"Aww. We love you Kags. Mwaz. Buhhh-bye!" called the girls.
"Cya…" Kagome mumbled, but they had already hung up. Sighing loudly, Kagome ran down the stairs to get her suitcase. It was still intact. She dragged it to the front door and went to wake up her parents. Today was going to be a very long day…
The drive to Shikon High didn't take too long, the journey taking around half an hour.
As the car approached the grounds, Kagome's heart began to beat faster.' I'm the new girl and it's my first day,' she thought. Stepping out of the car, she noticed that a few students had come to see what was happening. Grabbing her baggage and waving her parents off, Kagome walked to the administration block, slightly blushing as a couple of guys whistled at her.
Struggling, Kagome somehow managed to get the door of the administration office open. Then she realised that someone had opened it for her. And that someone was a guy she thought she recognised.
"Thanks," she said, towing her bags along.
" Your welcome," replied the guy, his silver hair shining as he left in the direction of a sports oval. "Silver hair…Amber eyes?" Kagome thought. Shaking her head, Kagome approached the counter, and an old woman typing furiously into a computer. "Pardon me madam, can you tell me where to go? It's my first day here". The woman looked up.
"Oh. Hello. Are you Kagome Higurashi?"
Kagome nodded, "Yes, I am."
"Well I'll see where you are…" said the lady, furiously typing into her computer. "Higurashi, Higurashi, Higurashi… .Aha! Here you are!" she exclaimed, "Kagome Higurashi, Room 10, Dorm 15-A, A-Block Dorm. You're with Sango."
"Who's Sango?" asked Kagome.
"Oh, right. Sango is a very nice girl… Straight A's too. She'll be in every one of you classes, so you'll get to know her," replied the office lady, printing out a timetable and a school map, "Here you are, Kagome. Sango will come to pick you up."
"Thanks Miss," replied Kagome, taking the papers and picking up her luggage. She opened the door and exited the admin block, bumping into a girl in a pink tracksuit.
"Sorry," mumbled Kagome. The girl looked at her.
"So, you're Kagome?" she asked.
"Yup. Are you Sango?" replied Kagome.
"Yeah, I am. I get to show you around. We don't have classes today, but the seniors are hosting an assembly for us," said Sango. She started to walk forwards and Kagome followed her. When they were halfway to the A-block dorms, Sango stopped abruptly.
"Why are you dragging that along?" asked Sango, "I'll get one of the guys to come help."
"INUYASHA! MIROKU!" shouted Sango. Two guys ran towards Kagome and Sango. One was the guy who had opened the door for Kagome; the other was a shifty looking boy, with a slight red tinge to his cheeks.
"Kagome, this is Inuyasha and he's Miroku. Miroku and Inuyasha, This is Kagome, she's new here," announced Sango, "Inuyasha and Miroku will carry Kagome's luggage to our room." Inuyasha and Miroku groaned in unison. Kagome looked a bit confused.
"Inuyasha? As in Kikyo's boyfriend?" Kagome asked.
"Huh? You know me?" replied Inuyasha startled. Kagome nodded. Sango and Miroku exchanged glances.
Sango broke the awkward silence. Saying that they should get to the rooms so Kagome could unpack before the assembly, she ushered the group to her and Kagome's room. Mumbling thank-yous, Kagome and Sango closed the door of their room and started to unpack Kagome's clothes.
"Wow, your clothes are very purple," commented Sango. Kagome laughed, pulling open Sango's wardrobe.
"And your's are shockingly pink," laughed Kagome. Sango grinned, as Kagome rummaged through her luggage until she found a large blue bag. Opening it, she showed it to Sango.
"So you do have more than purple," teased Sango, extracting pairs of blue and black jeans, and some other coloured tops and skirts.
After finally finishing arranging all Kagome's stuff, the two girls made there way to the school hall for the assembly. Grabbing seats near the front, Kagome and Sango watched with excitement as the "Seniors' Welcome Back Assembly" began…
It was only the first day, and it looked as if Kagome had found a friend to keep.
