The Beginning Again

Chapter 2: A Shocking Surprise

Kagome jumped out of the car as soon as it entered the gate. For the past few hours she and her mother had been driving non stop to reach Cross Academy. She stood back for a moment and examined the large building that was to be her new school. Large was an understatement actually. The school itself looked like a castle, its light cream stones shone in the dwindling sunlight. The grounds were neatly kept and were surrounded by a large expanse of forest.

If this is the school I wonder what the dorms look like! Kagome thought in complete awe of her surroundings.

By now it was sunset and she was anxious to get unpacked and relax. She leaned her back against the car and closed her eyes for a moment while her mom opened the trunk. Suddenly she heard loud high pitched squeals and screams that caused her to jump. In the distance on the other side of the campus she could see a group of people charging towards a large gate. She couldn't make out exactly what they were saying but she could tell by the tone that they were excited.

"Kagome," her mother said. "Why don't you go and have some fun over there with the other kids. Maybe there's some activity going on. I'll take your stuff to your room and meet the headmaster."

Kagome shook her head. "I can't leave you with all this work!"

"Go! Have fun! I'll meet you later before I leave!" her mother insisted. Kagome sighed.

"Ok. Thanks mom." she replied before giving her mom a hug and walking toward the loud group. As she got closer Kagome could pick out some of the things the group was screaming.

"Kyaa! Kyaa! Idol-sempai!!! We love you!" a group of girls screamed frantically.

"Wild-sempai! Please take this gift as a token of my love for you!!!" a small brunette girl cried.

Kagome had to cover her ears as the shrieks became louder. She noticed it was because a group of white uniformed students had made their way towards the end of the line of girls.

"Please stay back! I'm a disciplinary committee member! Do as I say!" cried a girl's voice from in front of the group. But despite her pleas, the group of unruly girls charged forward pulling Kagome along with them.

"Ahhh!" Kagome cried out in pain as she was dragged along. Unfortunately, her foot hit a loose stone and she skidded to her knees.

"Stop!" yelled a loud voice. The girls paused for a moment. "Back away now. Go back to your dorms, its past curfew!"

"Aw! Kiriyu! Why do you have to be so mean?!" some of the girls complained. Grudgingly they began to back away, but they refused to go back to their dorms. A tall silver haired boy stepped forward.

"I said go back to your dorms! NOW!" he roared, clearly annoyed by the lack of obedience. The white uniformed students walked into the large building, and the girls trudged back to the dorms.

Apparently that's 'Kiriyu' Kagome thought. Kind of reminds me of...

"Hey, are you alright?" Kagome looked up in shock. The first thing she saw was a pair of golden eyes. This alone made her heart skip a beat, but it caught up rapidly and began to beat fervently until she was certain everyone could hear it. But, as she began to focus she realized the difference between those eyes and these eyes. These eyes were a darker shade of amber than the ones that she was used to and they were set in a much more aristocratic face. The boy in front of her was dressed in a white uniform suit that hung off his tall frame in a very casual but graceful way. Even his dark blonde hair, which was very wild and untamed, seemed sophisticated.

"Are you OK?" the boy repeated with an amused look. Kagome's train of thought was broken as she focused on what he was saying. She realized she must have looked like a total idiot just sitting there looking at him while he was talking to her.

"Huh? Yeah! I'm fine, thank you!" she said hastily, a dark flush creeping across her face. Oh god, that was so embarrassing! Why did I go and space out like that! He probably thinks that I have a problem!

"Are you sure you're alright? Your face is rather red." He stated. Kagome nodded

"I'm Ok. Thank you for asking. Oh! I'm Higurashi Kagome by the way!" She blurted out, feeling rather uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Akatsuki Kain. It's a pleasure to meet you Kagome. You must be new to-" he stiffened and broke off. His eyes shifted down to her knees and his eyes darkened.

"You're bleeding." Kagome looked down at herself in surprise.

"Huh?"

He stared at her and stated simply, "Your knees."

Kagome looked down at her knees. "Oh! Thanks…?"

He held his hand out to help her. As Kagome reached up to grab his hand to pull herself up, she felt a tug at her conscience; a warning to stop what she was doing. The moment their hands touched, it felt as if an electrical current had seared up through her arm to the rest of her body. She gasped in shock and released his hand as soon as she was upright.

"What was THAT?" she exclaimed. He looked at her quizzically.

"What was what?" he asked. She looked down at her hand.

"I-I'm not r-really su-sure" she stammered, her wide eyes scanning the smooth surface of her palm. Kagome was completely stunned what had just happened?

"Maybe you just shocked me is all." She finally said smiling, trying to wave off the eerie feeling she had had. "Anyway it was nice to meet you! Maybe we'll be in the same classes..?"

He shook his head. "More than likely we won't. I'm in the Night Class and you're in the Day Class."

Kagome's face fell slightly. "Oh. Well I guess I'll see you another time then."

He smiled. "Yes, maybe another time. Goodnight Kagome."

"Goodnight Kain."

Kagome watched as he walked away to his class.

A/N: How was that for a 'shocker'? Hoped you liked it. Please R&R. I should have Chapter 3 Up soon. Much sooner since originally it was part of this chapter but I thought it would have been too longwinded.
