DISCLAIMER
I don't own any of the characters in this story. Thanks again for the review Author'sNote
Sorry for the short chapters and long update waits. School's started again so it's taking a while. A long while… and this chapter's not very good either.
Chapter Three: And So, the Classes Began P.O.V: NarratorThe next morning, Kagome found herself waking up early again. Quietly, so as not to wake up Sango, Kagome turned on her laptop and downloaded the video of the previous day's assembly that Sango had taken with her camcorder. Many images flashed on the screen, a few of Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha. Yesterday's assembly had been an exciting one, the Seniors doing a really great job whilst having a great time.
Kagome had almost finished uploading the video when she felt a tap on her shoulder and jumped up startled. She turned around and saw Sango with two cups of hot chocolate. She had slipped out while Kagome was absorbed in her task.
"Morning girl," Sango smiled, offering a steaming mug. Kagome nodded and accepted the drink. They spent the rest of the early part of morning in their room, discussing the preceding day.
Just before seven, the girls left their rooms, being fully dressed, and headed for the cafeteria. As Sano and Kagome entered the cafeteria, many heads turned to watch them, including Inuyasha and Miroku, and a small group of girls in revealing clothing seated in the centre of the room, smirking. Sango led Kagome over to the table where Inuyasha and Miroku were seated. Also at the table were a reddish-brown haired girl, and a boy who appeared to be her boyfriend, both decked out in furs.
Taking seats, Kagome was introduced to the crew by Sango, learning that the other two were called Ayame and Kouga, and who were boyfriend/girlfriend after all. Over breakfast, they all compared timetables. They all shared the same classes. Kagome found this odd until Sango explained to her that to keep the students happy, the staff had let them choose their classes and classmates. Kagome smiled. Kouga and Ayame seemed nice enough. Except that Kouga kept looking at strange way, and that was causing Ayame to look a little icily at him, and slightly at Kagome too.
After an hour or so of chatting and eating, they got up and went to their first class, English.
Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga and Ayame sat together in the back row of the class. In walked the girls who sat in the centre of the dining room, and they sat right in the centre again. One sucking on a lollipop turned and winked at Kagome, another smirked at them, and their leader who sat in the middle turned and blew Inuyasha a kiss, to which he grunted in response, turning to Miroku, with a slight blush forming on his cheeks. Sango nudged Kagome, making her turn to her sharply.
"That's Kagura with the lollipop, Yura who's smirking, and their leader, Kikyo," Sango whispered. Kagome's eyes widened, then she spoke,
"Kikyo? I went to school with Inuyasha and Kikyo once"
"Oh my god! Really?" replied Sango, slightly astonished.
"Yea… they weren't really nice…" Kagome sighed.
"Oh… Anyways they broke up just before the summer break. Apparently she was cheating on him or something…" Sango said. Kagome opened her mouth to continue speaking, but the rest of the class had arrived and the teacher had walked in.
"Good Morning Class!" the teacher smiled.
"Good Morning Miss Brown" the students mumbled. Miss Brown started to mark the roll, but when she reached 'Higurashi, Kagome', she squealed and asked Kagome to introduce herself. Kagome slowly made her way to the front of the class.
"Umm…Hi…I'm Kagome Higurashi…" Kagome mumbled, causing Kikyo, Kagura and Yura to start giggling. Kagome blushed. Clearing her throat, she started to speak again.
"I'm 15 and I moved here two days ago". Miss Brown held up her hand,
"Thank you Kagome, I hope you feel very welcome here at Shikon High…(blah blah blah)" Miss Brown said, repeating the very corny welcome speech used at almost every school.
Kagome smiled and went back to her seat. They spent the rest of the lesson learning about the correct way to analyse an essay.
After the hour of English, the period bell rang and the group headed of to History. Mr Stone got Kagome to introduce herself, causing her to sigh and Kikyo's group to crack up. The class spent the rest of the lesson learning about the politics of Ancient Rome. After the history hour, they made their way to Math, doing simultaneous equations, before going back to the cafeteria for lunch.
Flopping down at their table, Kagome sighed. She started to eat her pork and rice, when Sango started talking,
"We got so much homework!" she said, moaning "And it's only the second day!" Kagome mumbled a response, almost spitting out her food. They talked mostly about how their homework was going to pile up over the first few weeks, and then disintegrate after their half-yearly examinations.
After eating, Kagome and Sango went back to their room to get their books for the last two periods of the day: Visual Arts and Music.
Kagome followed Sango into the bright pink art classroom to be startled by a round woman in a floaty orange dress.
"'Mornin' Ms Actic," Sango mumbled. They took seats on the left side of the room. Kagome was introducing herself to Ms Actic when Inuyasha and Miroku ran inside, followed by Kikyo and her giggly bunch of friends.
Ms Actic clasped her hands, "Today you will paint me a scene from your holidays" and the class got to it, no one asked any questions – except Kagome, who needed to know where the supplies were.
By the end of the period, most of the students had gotten paint on their clothes, but there were many pretty paintings on the tables. Ms Actic walked around, commenting on the works saying "Ooh…" and "Ahhh" and "I love the colours!'. She paused for a while on Inuyasha's – a picture of a forest – Sango's – a picture of a starry sky - and a bit longer on Kagome's, a painting of the last sunset she saw at the beach. Ms Actic picked up Kagome's painting and placed it on the board at the front of the classroom, causing Kagome to blush. The bell rang for last period, and they rushed off to Music.
When they arrived, they saw a great deal of chairs, set up in rows. Their teacher, Mr Best walked in.
"Today we will be singing 'The Lion King Medley'," he announced, passing out books. The class easily sorted themselves into groups. Kagome sat in the sopranos, Sango in the altos, Inuyasha in the tenors, and Miroku joining him after realising that it would be easier to grope Sango, in the tenors than the basses, whilst sitting on the border of the altos/tenors. It was a long period, and everyone cracked up when they realised someone had tampered with their lyrics. In the end, they achieved nothing, but headed back to their dorms after the bell.
'Oma-gawd," sighed Sango, as Kagome and her sank into their beds. They rested for a bit and then did their homework until a bell sounded for dinner. They changed clothes and made their way to the dining hall for the third time that day. After an hour of eating and talking, Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga and Ayame headed towards Kagome and Sango's room. It was 8:00pm. They spent the rest of the evening discussing classes, comparing answers and eating numerous amounts of lollies. They were just getting finished when dorm monitor called 'Lights Out!" and the group left Sango and Kagome to go to sleep. It didn't take more than her head touching the pillows, before Kagome drifted into the lands of slumber…
