Whoo hoo! Two in a row!
Enjoy!
Chapter 17
Kagome's P.O.V.
The sky is blue, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, I'm walking to school with my favourite person…ahh…I'm now in bliss. It can't get any better than this.
Inuyasha finally asked me to be his girlfriend!
I couldn't help but give a little giggle when I glanced at Inuyasha who was walking beside me. Ah, this really is the life.
When we got to a corner, we saw two girls walking out of the same house. Siblings?
One had long, azure blue hair and forest green eyes. The other girl had long, purple hair with black highlights and purple eyes. They were wearing dark jeans and green and purple shirts to suit their eye colour. Hmm, I wonder if they just moved here. I've never seen them around before.
Inuyasha stopped to look at them with me.
"What is it, Kagome?" he asked. The girls closed the gate door and stopped right outside of it, looking left and right down the street, a confused expression on their faces. Finally, they caught our gaze and approached us.
"Good morning," they greeted.
Realising that I was staring, I stuttered a response. Inuyasha followed my lead.
The girl with blue hair asked, "I hate to ask, but do you know what direction Shikon High is? We just moved here and don't know our way around here."
I immediately said, "Oh? Seriously? That's the way were headed right now. We go to that school. You can walk with us if you want."
"Really?" The girl with purple hair asked. "That's great!"
While walking, I introduced everyone. "By the way, my name is Kagome and this is Inuyasha."
The girl with blue hair smiled. "Nice to meet you Kagome, Inuyasha. I'm Natsume and this is my sister Hikara." She pointed to the girl behind her.
Hikara smiled. "It's nice to meet ya! Oh, since you go to Shikon High, what's your background? It's a school with a mix of demons and humans right?"
I laughed. "Well I think you can tell who I am. I'm a priestess and me being human is a dead giveaway."
"And…him?" She gestured to my…teehee boyfriend.
"Oh, Inuyasha? He's part Inu-yokai. His other half is human."
Hikara's eyes lit up. "He's half-demon too? Yes!"
Gasping, I realised what she was saying. "Wait, your half demon? You look human to me…well, other than the hair and the eyes."
Hikara smiled and answered, "Yup! I'm half-human, half vampire."
"Seriously?" Inuyasha asked. He seemed sort of happy to hear her say that.
Hikara nodded. "And my sister is a water yokai."
"Wait, your half vampire?" I was amazed. "They still exist"
Natsume replied before her sister had the chance. "Yeah she is. You'll see later on," she said, giving me a wink.
'Wow…and I thought they were just legends,'I thought.
At school...
"Hey Miro, San!" I called to our friends as we entered the school's courtyard.
Miroku suddenly disappeared and came up behind Natsume and Hikara. "Why, hello ladies. And who might you two beauties be?" Judging by their faces and the shrieks that followed, I'm guessing Miroku's hands touched where they weren't suppose to.
They both slapped him on separate cheeks, once after another. And boy did they look pissed.
"Aren't we the perverted one?" Hikara asked, her smile dark.
"Sister, dear, I believe this man has violated us," Natsume responded, equally evil looking.
With a wave of her hand, some water materialized and fell on Miroku, soaking him from head to toe. "Don't ever touch my sister or me again you perv!"
I gawked at Natsume. "How did you do that? Where…where did the water come from?"
Natsume flashed a cheeky grin at me. "I don't always have to be near a water source. The air is made up of vapour so I can enlarge it and form masses of water whenever I want. Not to mention I can boil them, freeze them…pretty much I can do anything with water."
Inuyasha shook his head. "Amazing."
Just then Sango came up beside me. "See Miroku, this is what you get for terrorizing women," she said laughing.
She looked over to the two girls. "Hi, I'm Sango. I see you've already met Miroku."
"I'm Natsume and this is Hikara." Just then, the warning bell rang.
"Hey, Natsume! Hikara! What do you have for classes?"
Natsume and Hikara looked at their schedules and we peaked over to look too.
I cheered. "Looks like you have the same schedule as us! C'mon let's go!" We started to run to class.
This is going to be a fun day!
After school...
After saying bye to Sango and Miroku, I walked home with Inuyasha, Natsume and Hikara.
"How can you guys stand Miroku?" Hikara asked, fuming. The guy had teased the poor girls all the way home.
"You'll get used to it," I answered while laughing.
When we got to the end of the block a huge moth demon came out, sending us flying with a flag of his gigantic wings.
It seethed venom. "So this is where you ran off to, huh, you two?" He looked at Hikara and Natsume.
I heard Hikara whisper, "Natsume, get ready to pull of my necklace."
Wait, her necklace?
Just as the moth demon attacked, Natsume pulled off Hikara's necklace. A huge light appeared, blinding me and Inuyasha who didn't have the chance to do anything. When the light faded, there stood a girl with fiery, red hair and blood red eyes were standing where Hikara used to be.
Wait, is that Hikara?
Natsume flicked her hand and after blobs of water formed, they changed into a bunch of ice spears. Flying towards the demon, they pierced through its skin. But even though blood leaked through, it seemed indifferent to it.
"Is that all you got?" It laughed. With another fan of its wings, the blast threw Natsume against the nearby wall.
"Natsume!" Hikara yelled in worry for her sister. She turned to the moth demon and yelled, "No one hurts my sister, you bastard!"
She started to charge. "Hakura no!" I yelled. I was going to run up to stop her when to my surprise, Inuyasha put his arm in front of me.
"Don't get in the way or you'll be hurt. Just watch for now," he said.
I watched as Hikara jumped up and axe kicked the moth demon in the stomach. Then she punched it in the face until it fell down to the floor. Natsume got up, recovered from the impact and stabbed the demon with some more ice. Hikara knelt down showing her fangs. I shivered as I looked at them.
Compared to Inuyasha's, they were long and looked extremely sharp. Wait…is she planning to…
Natsume ran up to Hikara, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Don't do it, Sis! Please! If you do-"
Hikara looked up at Natsume, her eyes burning red and furious. "He hurt you, and for that I will suck his blood until he runs dry!"
Before Natsume could say anything else to stop her, Hikara bit the moth demon. I watched as her throat moved as she swallowed the blood from the demon. I watched as the demon started to shrink under his skin, running dry of his juices.
Hikara wiped her mouth with her sleeve, slightly panting. Standing up, she turned to look at us. She was looking straight into my eyes with…a hungry look on her face.
"Hika-"
"Inuyasha, get in front of Kagome and stay back," Natsume suddenly said, her voice unnaturally serious compared to before.
Without questioning, since now wasn't the time, Inuyasha got in front of me. Then, Natsume took the star shaped pendent out of her pocket that she had removed from Hikara before.
She walked towards her sister. "Hikara, put it back on." Natsume's voice was calm but firm.
Hikara turned her head sharply towards her sister with the same dangerous look. But Natsume didn't even flinch.
Finally Hikara said, "Fine, but you owe me lots of blood later." Natsume nodded and gave her the pendent.
"Thank you, Hikara."
Hikara put the necklace back on and with another flash of light, she returned back to her other self. She collapsed in her sister's arms still conscious.
Inuyasha and I were hesitant to react and just watched them from our location. Only when Natsume looked over and told us that it was alright, did we relax and approach them.
"That was my vampire form," Hikara explained. "Whenever my sister takes off this pendent I turn into my vampire form."
Is that what they meant by "you'll see"?
"Wait, why was that demon after you two? And why did I have to protect Kagome from you?" Inuyasha asked Hikara.
Yup, why indeed.
Hope you guys liked it!
See you later!
