Kagome let out a small laugh as her and Victor sat on a bench outside. The sun was out so why not? She was amused at Victor as he told her that he was currently trying to make a film with his dog, Sparky. Kagome crossed her arms and rested them on the table, leaning forward with a smile.
"You must let me see it once it's finished." She demanded, tilting her head slightly. "It sounds very creative and I think the film will be ace!" Victor laughed and scratched the back of his neck at her compliments, trying to find the words to say.
"Of course, Kagome. Thank you for your encouragement." He said, making Kagome's smile widen even more.
"No problem, Vic!" She replied enthusiastically. That was when Toshiaki walked over, Nassor and Bob with him. Kagome looked up and grinned at Toshiaki. "Toshi!" She exclaimed happily as her cousin came to a halt. Kagome didn't notice that Victor became a little less comfortable. "Who are your friends?" Kagome tilted her body to look behind the Japanese boy and up at the tall, blank-looking boy and the rather large lad munching on a cookie.
"That's Nassor and Bob." Toshiaki said. Kagome waved at the two other boys with a kind look.
"Nice to meet you two! I was just hanging with Victor." Kagome turned to the tense boy, smiling brightly at him. Victor let out a quiet noise before nodding, clearing his throat. Kagome giggled softly as the boy awkwardly looked at his food, playing with it in a cute way. "Vic! Stop being so adorably anti-social and talk!" She laughed, making Victor look up with wide eyes.
"O-oh, uh, hi Toshiaki, Nassor, Bob." He said shyly, glancing back down at his food. Kagome had to contain her 'aww' at how cutely he was avoiding their gaze. She didn't know how, it was just so cute that she wanted to squish his face(that is literally me). Victor just didn't want Toshiaki and Nassor to trouble him. He never bothered them and was lucky enough not to get pushed around by the two rather intimidating boys. Nassor turned his blank gaze to Kagome.
"So, I hear from Toshiaki that you are a fan of science, are you not?" He asked. Kagome nodded, her hands folding together.
"Yes, I am. Sadly, the school back in Japan didn't teach us much so I ended up buying many books on the three sciences." She answered before moving a strand of loose hair behind her ear. Kagome sighed softly, regretting that she mentioned Japan as her chest tightened a bit. She shook her head to rid herself of the longing to be back in Japan and laughed it off, hoping no one noticed her sadness in that split second. However, Victor did notice. He inwardly frowned as Kagome tried to hide her emotion behind a big smile. Toshiaki nodded, crossing his arms.
"I will see you later." He said before turning and walking off with Nassor and Bob. Kagome nodded before turning back to Victor. Her smile had become a little strained and Victor gave her a serious look, folding his scrawny arms.
"There's no need to keep on smiling, I know you're upset." He stated, making Kagome freeze. Her smile slowly slid from her face and morphed into a frown. Her shoulders slumped and her arms flopped onto the table. Her face buried into her arms to hide the tears threatening to spill from her brown eyes. Kagome bit her lip as her tears soaked her sleeves. Victor placed a hand comfortingly on her shoulder as she silently cried. God, She missed Sango, she missed Miroku, she missed the shrine, her old room, her school, her old home. She missed it all so damned much. And she couldn't go back, not now at least. Kagome lifted her head to blink her teary eyes up at Victor. Kagome knew it was so selfish to feel this way but she just couldn't help it.
"God, Victor. I just miss everything so much." She sniffed, wiping her eyes with a dry part of her sleeve. Victor sighed.
"It's going to be okay. I promise. I'm here for you." He offered, making Kagome look at him with watery eyes. Victor sent her a reassuring smile. Kagome's eyes slightly widened before she dried her eyes and smiled a genuine smile, letting out a small laugh. The two continued to eat their food and stuffed their lunch boxes into their bags just as the bell rung. "What's next again?" Kagome questioned, trying to think.
"I think it's music." Victor said, tapping his chin. Kagome clasped her hands together with a grin.
"Oh, great! What has happened through the lessons of music so far?" Kagome asked. Both got up from their seats and slung their satchels over their shoulders before heading inside together.
"I think today we're going to experiment on a new software for the next few weeks to make our own music." Victor replied when they were walking amongst the students in the hallways. Kagome's grin grew wider. Making their own music? Fantastic! That sounded amazing. With a skip in her step, Kagome followed Victor towards the music department while humming random tunes that came to mind to give her an idea on what to do.
The bell rung and sixth period was finally over. Kagome stretched her arms out before grabbing her bag and heading out with Victor and Elsa.
"You know, you should leave your hair loose, Kagome." Elsa suggested, making Kagome look at her. "It would look really nice."
"Oh, no. I don't really like my hair. Plus, I also think it looks nicer in a braid or wavy." Kagome admitted, holding onto the strap of her satchel on her back.
"Mind if we see it wavy?" Victor asked. Kagome glanced at him, humming softly before shrugging.
"Why not?" She replied before pulling the bobble out of her hair and putting it around her wrist. She slowly undid the braid, watching her hair as it fell in soft waves. Once she was done, Kagome smiled at her waved hair and turned to her friends. "Well? What do you think?" She asked.
"It looks really good." Elsa and Victor both said. Kagome blushed and laughed.
"Thanks, you two!" She said, smiling in their direction.
"But I would also like to see it straight." Elsa added, Victor nodding in agreement. Kagome rolled her eyes before raising her hands.
"All right, all right, tomorrow you can see it straight." She replied. The three friends chattered to each other. Kagome sighed. Today was a good enough first day.
