Chapter 12:

High School Never Ends

Part I

Kagome defiantly didn't expect this.

She finished applying the numbing medication on her back and redressed the wounds. They weren't bleeding anymore, so that was a plus. The wounds are already healing themselves up nicely thanks to her Miko powers. All that was left in its wake though was an unbearable stinging pain that burned like the fires from hell.

Kagome looked in the mirror and gave herself an once-over. She was sporting one of her new outfits: a blue skirt, black long sleeve shirt with a hood - the shirt paretically clung to her skin, and the black ankle boots that Aerith gave her yesterday. She double checked to be sure that her every bruise on her body was tucked away safely behind her clothes. She didn't want any other wandering eyes catching a glimpse of them.

Kagome stooped down to the cold bathroom tile floor and placed her Gym clothes in her backpack - schedule said she had that class today. A loud set of frantic knocks emitted from the other side of the bathroom door. Kagome quickly zipped up her bag, pulled it on to her shoulders, and opened the door.

It was Roxas and Hayner, Namine and Olette were behind the guys. The boys looked ... jumpy to her. Their eyes glancing back to the door that lead to the Living Area. As for the girls ... they seemed worried. Namine was playing with her fingers nervously and Olette was biting her lip.

Kagome blinked, confused. "Um, hi -" Roxas and Hayner each grabbed one of her wrists and pulled her out of the bathroom. "Hey! What the -?!" She looked back and forth between the two.

Roxas removed his hand from Kagome's wrist and placed them on her shoulders, pushing her to the door that lead to the Hallway. Hayner mirrored his friend's action. Namine and Olette were walking ahead. Fast.

"We gotta go." Roxas didn't even look at Kagome. All of his focus was on getting her and his other friends the hell out of this room to the other side of that door ... alive.

Kagome forced herself to stop. She spun oh her heel and faced Roxas and Hayner. "Why?" She crossed her arms and quirked an eyebrow. "We still have time left."

Hayner forced a grin. "It's just that, uh, we got to take you ... to your locker, yeah, your locker! And go ... go over your schedule with you - Forget it! We just gotta go!" He jabbed his thumb toward the door.

'Bullshit,' Kagome thought to her self, 'More like your all running scared from something ... or someone.' She quickly glanced around the room and took a head count. They were missing three companions. "Where are Sora, Kairi, and Riku?"

Roxas released an exasperated sigh, his hand came very close to meeting his face. He thought it would take at least two seconds to get her out of here. "They're staying behind." He took another fleeting glance at the Living Area's door as he ran his fingers through his dirty blonde spikes wit frustration. He has to hurry before all hell breaks lose.

Kagome's eyebrows knitted together. "Why?" She asked slowly.

Roxas racked his brain for anything. "Riku ... he knocked out again." He lied cooly. Well it was sorta true, Riku was knocked out, but in a different manner. "Sora and Kairi are trying to get him up again." Roxas shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant matter.

Kagome's eyes widened at this.

She was perplexed. How was that possible? Riku sleeping? Again? She had just left him literally fifteen minuets ago and at the time was half awake. Now he was out like a light? That seemed very unlikely. Even for Riku.

... And why the hell was everyone freaking?! Kagome pushed the thought to the back of her mind. She didn't question Roxas any further. She will pretend to not notice that something was amiss. Pretend not to see the worry etched on all her friends faces. She will play along with their little charade.

"Fine, let's go." (Both Roxas and Hayner visibly brightened.) "I just got to grab my schedule."

The boys frowned.

Kagome was making her way to her bed when something powerful forced her to stop dead in her tracks in front of the Living Area's door. Her muscles locked and tensed. The air in her lungs whooshed out, painfully finding it difficult to breath.

The room suddenly grew colder.

Darker even.

A violent shudder raked Kagome's body. It suddenly felt heavy. She felt like she was about to collapse from ... the heaviness. Kagome placed a hand on the door, - it felt like it was burning beneath her finger tips - straining to keep her composer.

The darkness, the negativity she felt. It was so familiar, but it was so much stronger. Much more dangerous. So much more ... Evil.

... It reminded Kagome of Riku.

And that scared her.

Kagome stared wide eye at the door, her eyes glazed with terror. She couldn't recall the last time she had been this scared. She could practically see the darkness seeping out from under the door. Kagome gulped ... and reach for the door handle.

"Ka - me -!"

She didn't hear anything.

Didn't see anything.

"Kagome!"

Her hand clasped the brass knob.

In her mind eye, it was only her and this door.

She turned the knob.

"Kagome!" Roxas hissed again. He grabbed her wrist and yanked her arm away from the door. Kagome staggered back and looked at him with bewildered eyes. Roxas could see her shaking. He felt bad for her. Unlike like the rest of them, she didn't have time to adjust to the Darkness.

Roxas sighed in relief. He was glad he stopped Kagome from opening that door. If she had ... she would've been in danger and their cover would have been blown without a hitch.

"What the hell do you think you were doing?!" He said through clenched theeth.

Kagome blinked quickly. "Uh ... I-I," She hated how her voice sounded so weak, so she cleared her throat. "I' n-not sure." That was a little better.

She stared straight past Roxas, over his shoulder. Hayner was the only one other than her and Roxas in the room. The hall door was open. Namine and Olette must be waiting outside.

Roxas leaned in closer to her so that he was all that she could see. Their eyes locked. Kagome subconsciously leaned back. Her eyes downcast to the floor. She didn't like how his intense Azure eyes picked away at her. It made her feel weak, uncomfortable even.

"We have to go." Roxas narrowed his eyes slightly. "Now."

Kagome gritted her teeth. "I have to - " - She pulled her wrist out of his grasp - "grab my schedule first." She turned her back on Roxas and strode over to her bed as she rubbed her wrist. What was it with everyone grabbing her today?

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." Hayner whined.

Roxas looked over his shoulder at his friend. "Go wait outside. We'll be right there."

Hayner glared at Roxas. "Whatever." He snapped as he walked towards the door. Without another look at Roxas he said: "If you die I get to keep your Champion Struggle Trophy ... and the belt too." With that Hayner was out the door.

Roxas shook his head. "You keep wishing." He murmured. He made his way to the open door and leaned against the frame. "We really are going to be late if you don't hurry it up, Kagome."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm coming." She grabbed her schedule off the bed and headed toward Roxas. As she past the Living Area's door again ... she couldn't help but give it one last final glance.

It terrified her.

Goose bumps rose up on her arms, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and Kagome felt like she was going to vomit.

Kagome mentally shook her head. She hurried past the creepy door to Roxas, who was keeping a rather close eye on her. She raised her eyes up to him, face an emotionless mask. "Happy?" Kagome dead-panned as she blew right past him and out the door.

Roxas looked up at the ceiling in annoyance. He blew a gust of air up causing a spike blonde hair to flutter. "Thrilled." He muttered. He stepped out the door and gave a fleeting look to the door the lead to the Living Area. "Sora ... Kairi ... I wish you a hell of a lot of luck." With that closed the door behind him with a silent click.

Kagome leaned leisurely against the wall near her Home Room's door. She already grabbed all her stuff from her locker. Now she was waiting patiently, like she promised, for Roxas and Hayner to arrive back from grabbing their own stuff from their lockers.

She closed her eyes and rested her head back on the wall. She thought about the classes that she would be taking that she, Namine, Roxas, Hayner, and Olette discussed about awhile ago:

Home Room - She will be with Roxas, Hayner, and Sora.

First period: English - with Sora, Kairi, Hayner, and Roxas.

Second Period: Trigonometry - with Namine, Olette, and Roxas.

Third Period: History - with Hayner, Olette, Namine, and Kairi.

Forth Period: Intro to Al Bhed - with none of her friends

Fifth Period: Biology - with Riku and their other friend, Pence.

Sixth Period: Lunch - with all her friends.

Seventh Period: Study Hall - with Namine, Kairi, Riku, Sora, and Roxas.

Eighth Period: Home Economics (Monday), Music (Tuesdays), Art (Wednesdays), and Gym (Thursdays and Fridays) - with all her fiends.

The two classes that Kagome was most disappointed with was her Forth and Fifth period classes. She already knew she hated her Al Bhed - Whatever that is - class. For two reasons: 1. None of her friends are there. 2. She has to take it with that rude Seifer boy and his crew. That class is hell waiting to happen.

As for Biology, she has it alone. With Riku. Sure that boy Pence was there, but she didn't know him at all - doesn't even know he looks like for that matter - where as she did know Riku and it would be most obvious to sit near him. But she didn't want to even see Riku's face again after the incident that happened this morning. Maybe Kagome could ask Roxas or someone to tell her what Pence looked like, so then she could sit near him and not Ri-

"- Helllooo. Earth to New Girl."

Kagome jumped slightly as her eyes snapped open to find Hayner snapping his fingers away in front of her face. She glared at his still snapping fingers and pushed it away from her face annoyed. "You guys ready?"

"Yeah, we're set." Roxas stepped forward. "I think the real question is: Are you ready?"

'No,' She thought. She was having a nervous breakdown: Her body and legs shook uncontrollably, her palms were sweaty, and her moth felt as dray as a desert. "Yes." Kagome said softly.

Roxas knew she was lying. "Right," He drawled with a grin. "Whatever you say."

Hayner crossed his arms and smirked. "Ready or not, we got to Home Room now."

Kagome let the two go in the door before her. She followed them slowly with her head bowed, ebony bangs hiding her eyes. Once she walked in the classroom, everyone's chatter was hushed to a more quiet level. She felt eyes staring at her. Her face flush with embarrassment when she realized that she was the center of attention once more.

Kagome peered up through her bangs to find the teacher. She had to let him know that she was here so she could finally sit down. She found the teacher at where she hoped he would be, at his desk. When she saw him a scowl was on her lips.

The 'teacher' seemed more like some lazy ass guy to Kagome. His feet were propped up on his desk, chair tilted so he could lean back, hands laced behind his head, and, the freaking cherry on top, he had a newspaper draped over his face - covering it. He was asleep, that much was obvious to anyone who saw him. And everyone in hear acted like it was no big deal, like the guy did this everyday.

They three walked up in front of the desk. Shaking his head, Hayner sighed. "Lazy ass punk." He turned to Roxas. "Think you can take it from here?"

He nodded.

"Cool." Hayner glanced at the teacher. "I'm in the mood for a good laugh." He chuckled as he jerked his chin toward the guy at desk. He turned, facing the other students, walked to his desk and sat down.

"Watch this." Roxas murmured to Kagome.

She blinked and cocked her head to the side in confusion. She payed close attention to what he was doing.

Roxas got as close as he could to the teacher's desk. He smirked, reeling his leg back far, and kicked the desk as hard as he could without hurting himself. A loud bang echoed around the room, it made Kagome jump slightly.

The teacher jerked up-right in his unbalanced chair - the paper sliding from his face to his lap. What a big mistake that was. "DUDE, WHAT THE FUC -!" The guy's scream was cut short when his chair lost its balance and fell backward to the floor with him in it.

The class burst out in hysteria, Hayner and Roxas included.

Kagome stared in horror at the now empty desk. ('This school is freaking nuts!' ) She had seen this same action used before on Sora earlier this morning. Who knew she was going to see it again ... on her teacher no less.

Kagome turned stiffly to the almost calm Roxas. "You're going to get in trouble, you know that, right?"

Roxas shook his head. "Not really."

"You're dead!"

The Key of Destiny snorted. "See? Not that bad." He said to Kagome.

Two arms clawed their way back on the desk. The teacher pulled his upper torso up with his elbows and eventually got to his feet. Kagome scrutinized him. The guy was tall and, oddly enough, he had an hourglass figure. His spiky hair was as red as a flame. His eyes were the most amazing electric emerald she had ever seen. Under each of those eyes, on his cheeks, he had two small upside-down triangular tattoos.

(A/N: 1)

And he was pissed. His jaw was set and he turned red in the face slightly. He gave the most deadliest glare to Roxas, he didn't even notice Kagome standing beside the blonde. To her it looked like he was about ready to breath fire.

The guy was out for blood.

The red head pointed his a finger at Roxas. "I'm going to fry you up and serve you're crisp corpse to Xemnas and Saix in the form of ground beef!" He hissed, dripping with acid.

Kagome stared at him horrified.

Roxas eyebrows peeked. "Axel, is that anyway to speak in front of a new student?" He pulled Kagome's wrist and brought her in front of him, showing his best friend that the girl was indeed there.

Kagome tensed beneath his fingertips. "You are not putting me in the middle of this. She hissed quietly to him. She yanked her shoulders away from his grasp.

Roxas tuned her out. "Axel this is Kagome, the New Girl we were talking about last night."

Kagome's eyes widened, almost choking on her own spit. They talked about her last night? She didn't know if she should be flattered or creep the hell out.

"And Kagome, this is Axel. Our Home room adviser, English teacher, and my best friend." Roxas said it like it was the most normal thing in the world. "Never refer to him as Mr. Axel -just call him Axel."

Her mind was reeling now with so many thoughts that it made her dizzy. This guy that is their teacher, who is clearly a little older than them, was Roxas' best friend. That's it, Kagome has seen it all.

By this point Axel calmed down - he'll get his revenge soon enough - and held his hand out to Kagome. His famous wicked grin was plastered on his lips. "I've heard so much about you already."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. She looked at Axel's grinning face, at his waiting hand, then back at him. "Are you a pedophile?" She monotone innocently.

Roxas burst out laughing, clenching his aching ribs.

"She's got you pinned, Axel!" Hayner whooped from his desk.

Axel's face fell. "Cute." He sneered. He dropped his hand to his side. Now he really couldn't wait till that Sunday.

"Hey guys." A female voice greeted by the door.

Roxas, Axel and Kagome turned their attention to the classroom entrance. There was Kairi with Sora. She had her arm around his shoulder in a caring way as he limped in the room with an ice-pack over his left eye. He took it off for a second to move a strand of his hair that was bothering him. It was then Kagome Saw his nasty Black-eye.

When she saw the her first friend from this town banged up condition, she immediately stepped toward the couple. She wanted to help him in some way, but couldn't figure out how to do so. Instead she settled for asking: "Kairi, what are you doing here? What's happened to Sora?"

Kairi was shocked to see Kagome there. "Kagome? Uh, I came to see him off to class safely. He um - "

"I-I ran into a door knob." Sora piped in quickly, covering for Kairi.

"A door knob?" Roxas, Kairi, and Kagome questioned in unison. Kairi had the strong urge to hang her head in embarrassment. Roxas rubbed his face with the heels of his palms. Was he serious? Sora couldn't have come up with a better excuse than that?!

Kagome didn't believe the bullshit that spewed out of his mouth for a second. She'll let it pass for now. She looked at him skeptically.

As for Axel, he was laughing his ass off. Hard. To the point tears were at his eyes. "Damn!" He breathed. "Look at that shiner! Sora, How many times do I gotta tell ya? You gotta leave Riku soon or these so called 'accidents' are just going to keep happening over and over." He shook his head in mock sympathy. "Next thing you know, you supposedly 'fell' down the stairs." He went hysterical at his own joke.

(A/N: 2)

So did Roxas and Hayner.

Kagome even had to giggle quietly to herself.

Sora grinned sheepishly, rubbing nervously at the back of his neck. "Shut up, Axel."

Kairi removed her arm from her boyfriend's shoulder unwillingly. "The bell's about to ring. I got to go to my own Home Room now. I'll see you later, Sora." She leaned forward and gave a quick kiss on his forehead - Making him blush madly in return. She turned to the others. "See you guys." She waved to her friends as she made her exit.

"You can sit by us, Kagome." Sora said. He limped on ahead to his desk.

Kagome followed slowly behind, felling the eyes back on her and small gasps. What was wrong? Was she not suppose to sit by her friends? Was she not even suppose to friends with them at all? She ignored the other students and sat at the desk behind Hayner, who was next to Roxas, and next to Sora.

The bell rung.

Some students got up and headed on to their first period class. Some stayed in there seats. Kagome, Hayner, Roxas, and Sora were the few that stayed in the room. They had English this period with Axel and this was his class room.

Kagome couldn't help but take a glance at the clock above the chalkboard. She had a strong feeling that the day was going to be a long one ... and that something bad was going to happen.
