Kagome forced a smile as she was dragged to the club by Hikaru and Kaoru. Haruhi followed behind. "I'm just going to observe you guys today. See whose personality you best fit from the story. We'll go from there" Kagome told them as she was pulled into the room, watching the club get set up.
She was frowning gently as she moved to sit down unobtrusively by a window. "Awe! 'Gome-chan would you at least like some cake?" Honey asked making her smile.
"Sure. Thank you" Kagome said smiling and taking a piece of cake from the boy moving back to the window to sit. She began to eat the cake thoughtfully as she sat back and watched the group interact with each other.
Finally she was pretty sure she had everyone pegged correctly, though it was probably going to need a little more tweaking. But because of the story, and because she wanted all her friends to recognized since there was no way she could actually bring the living, breathing members of her group to school and introduce them as such, she'd just ask a few of the friends she'd made at the school already to take place of the characters she couldn't fit into the host club. She shook her softly, biting back a smile. She still couldn't get over the fact that her friends were still alive and well.
This beat just about any curse the rose could place on her. Hell she could care less about that now. She had learned that love is something she could deal without. The drama that comes with it, the pain of losing the one you love. And the bitterness you can feel toward others because such a silly emotion.
She blinked as she realized the club was over. She had been so deep in thought she hadn't even really paid much attention to what was going on, besides watching the males interact with everyone.
"'Gome-chan!" Honey said excitedly as he bounced over to her. "Have you figured out who's going to be who yet?" He asked excitedly.
"Yes actually, I have. Honey-senpai, you seem like an excellent Shou (Shippo). Mori-senpai would make the perfect Kiruban (Sesshomaru). Tamaki, you seem like Inuyoshiro (Inuyasha), but more refined. It'll work though. Inuyoshiro's true behavior would most likely shock a lot of girls attending your club. Hikaru, you're so Miroku…"
"HEY! I'm not a perverted monk!" Hikaru shouted pretending to be offended.
"…You're not a monk that's for sure" Kagome said chuckling. "Haruhi you seem a lot like Kagome. Kaoru, you make me think of Chijinyatsu (Kouga)…And Kyoya… You will be Naraku" Kagome said smirking.
"But Kyo-chan isn't evil!" Honey protested.
"No, but he's got Naraku persistence, wit, and a cold demeanor. Plus, he's the most likely to be evil in the group than you guys" She added laughing and running a hand through her hair.
"It doesn't matter to me in the least. But who, Kagome do you plan on being? Sango perhaps? Or maybe Kikyo. Isn't she a miko kind of like you are?" Kyoya asked with an aloof air.
Kagome winced. She may not hate her dead double, but she sure as hell didn't want to be her. She shook her head though smiling. "I wasn't planning on even attending. After all, you guys don't really need me do you?" She asked.
"Of course you'll be here. You know the most about the legend after all" Kyoya said adjusting his glasses.
"Then I guess I'll be Kikyo…" Kagome said trailing off.
Kyoya smirked at her. "You seem unhappy about that. Any particular reason as to why?" He asked.
"Not at all. Should there be?" Kagome asked feigning innocence as just then Souta popped his head in.
"Hey sis! Are you guys ready to leave now? The video game club got out late…." He said trailing off sheepishly.
Kagome laughed at her little brother and nodded. "We were actually just finishing" she said smiling at him. "So uh…. Who's taking us home?" She asked sheepishly.
"That would be my honor" Kyoya said still smirking at her. "Since it will make things easier for me with the planning of what we need. Plus I needed to discuss getting the necklaces with your grandfather," He added making her roll her eyes.
"Whatever you say. Let's just go home" Kagome muttered. She glared at the back of Kyoya's head as they finished saying goodbyes to everyone and left the building, the light in Tamaki's eyes when he had seen Souta frightened her, and she wanted to get them out of there as soon as possible.
Kagome smiled at Souta as she sat by her brother, sitting across from Kyoya. "The jewel around your neck is the real jewel from the story isn't it?" Kyoya asked adjusting his glasses.
"The real jewel is a myth. We aren't even sure if the story is true. It's very possible the jewel is in existence somewhere, but the one around my neck is not it…." Kagome said dismissively. In all actuality she had been expecting him to say something about it, since he really did remind her of Naraku. It would make sense for him to be the one to think of that.
Of course there was no way she was going to tell him he was right. Souta laughed slightly nervous as he looked between the two. "The legend is just a legend anyway. It's not like it's real" He added chuckling.
Kyoya rolled his eyes "Just because it's legend doesn't mean it's not true. After all demons still exist today, and the stories of the jewel are ever famous."
Kagome blinked "Just because demons are real doesn't make the legends real" She countered crossing her arms. She noticed Kyoya's eyes fall back on her necklace, and before she even had the chance to cover it he had leaned across the car and grasped it in his fingers. This time the pulse of the jewel was unmistakable. It throbbed in his hands and Kagome sat there transfixed.
She couldn't manage to pull back this time as she felt the familiar power of the object throb and convulses until settling into a peaceful rhythm. Even Kyoya was transfixed as he sat there.
"It really is miraculous…Kagome" He murmured as he let it go, the power of the jewel still feeling the air, it was almost like a palpable tension, a visible electric wave in the limo. "You went back in time, you are the priestess from the legends are you not?" He asked as he leaned back, seemingly recomposed.
"Y-Yes…" Kagome said. There was no way she'd be able to lie now. Not after that. And she wasn't even sure what that was…
