Chapter 8
The sunlight shines into Moroha's bedroom. The light seems to make the girl moans from the warmth coming from the sun seeping through her comforter even though Moroha is in a cocoon state. Her iphone chimes a soft tune to wake her up. Not just that but her bedroom door opens up and Kagome walks in.
"Moroha, you need to get ready for your first day at Sakura Hills." She shakes the lump of the comforter. Moroha mumbles, not that Kagome would've notice about her stubbornness like any other school day. She sees the iphone and smirks, "Well, it would be hard for you to use the phone in school since it's against its policy." She is about to take it until Moroha's hand comes out of the comforter and snatches it before Kagome did.
Kagome know exactly what to do whenever Moroha refuses to get up for school. "Ok then we're going to have to do this the hard way." She grabs on end of the comforter and yanks off the bed to reveal Moroha in a red flannel pajama pants and a black tank top, with her hair down as well.
"Oh come on mom." Moroha groans and she tries to grab the blanket but falls off the bed. "Seriously, Moroha, you're always like this whenever school is. You can't simply refuse your education. In fact, I was like that when I was your age." Kagome said as she gets into her daughter's closet to get the acquired uniform out. The top is a peach color blouse top with a deep pink bow to tie. The skirt is tan checkered down to the knees. The socks are either white or tan, and a pair of school loafers. "Get dress and come downstairs for breakfast." Kagome said before leaving the girl's bedroom.
Downstairs in the kitchen, Inuyasha in sitting in the breakfast nook having his coffee while reading the newspaper. "Anything interest in the paper, Inuyasha?" Kagome asks as she places two bread slices into the toaster.
"Nah. Nothing as of yet. Just our daughter going to Sakura Hills is the main interest." Inuyasha responds before taking a sip of his coffee. Kagome nods. "I for one am a bit curious about the school itself." She said as she sits across from him. "How?" Inuyasha asks her.
"Well so far the moment we entered the property, I sense something unusual." Kagome holds her chin to make herself look deep in thoughts.
"Yeah, even the scent of the place was off. I just kept my mouth shut so no one would be suspicious about us. I bet Sesshomaru is the same way as well." Inuyasha agrees with her.
Moroha enters the kitchen. "Ok." She said getting her parents' attention. Inuyasha smile to see her in a different uniform instead of the last school's outfit. "You look stunning and ready to go?" He compliments her. Even her hair in her signature ponytail with a pink bow in the shape of her father's ears.
Moroha smiles with a faint blush on her cheeks and goes into the fridge to get the orange juice is. She opens the top and about to chug it down.
"Moroha?" Kagome said sternly.
Moroha halts from the spot. "Yes, mom?" She asks her nervously.
Kagome crossed her arms. "What did I say about drinking from the carton?"
Moroha set's the carton onto the counter. "It's polite to drink from a cup instead of the carton itself." She recites her mother's rules.
"Now, get a cup and do that." Kagome said in the same manner. Moroha set the orange juice container onto the counter and goes into the cabinet that has the glassware. She fills one up and begins drinking like crazy. She puts the orange juice back into the fridge and rinsed out the glass.
Kagome knows that for sure. "And that goes to you, Inuyasha." She turns her sight to her husband.
Inuyasha gulped a lump in his throat. "Oh come on, Kagome. You know I don't do that." He tries to be innocent, but Kagome can tell if he's lying about something. "Really. I was in the bathroom down here and I was able to see you through the door crack and catching you drinking from the carton entirely."
Inuyasha nervously laughs. "Oh, so you saw that. When was that? I would've been able to smell you anywhere in the house, even in the bathroom."
Kagome grins. "Exactly, it was the night of the new moon that happened. I had a suspicion that even though you were human, you had to remain awake all night. Which is why I was down in that bathroom and I was able to catch you in the act. So don't think you got out of it Scott free."
"We need you to get a bit more training on how to dine properly." Inuyasha said to Moroha. "I know how excited you are, but you have to take it easy."
Moroha nods back. "Sorry, I just can't help but to get ready and be there." Inuyasha ruffles her head. "I can tell that you got that kind of eagerness from me. I was like that when something so important to me was going to happen, I couldn't sleep."
"Ok, we should get your supplies. Do you have your backpack?" Kagome asks her daughter as she takes her empty mug and puts it into the sink.
"Right here, mom." Moroha said as she gets the backpack from the chair. "And everything for the mission?" Inuyasha asks his own question. Moroha digs into her backpack and pulls out a pin to wear on her uniform logo. "That we will know for sure because of the built-in camera." Kagome explains and pulls something from her pocket.
"And this is for you."
Moroha widens her eyes in awe.
The bracelet is like her previous piece until it wear out and tare thus making it useless to wear anymore.
"Thanks mom." Moroha accepts the gift and puts it on her left wrist with the sleeve of the blouse to cover it so no one would notice it. According to the school, jewelry is permitted for specific reasons. So the bracelet won't be a problem.
"Ok, let's get you to school." Inuyasha grabs his car keys and they left the house ready to begin the mission.
It doesn't take them that long to get to the drop off lane of the school's parking lot. Once stopped, Moroha hops out of the back seat. "I'll see you guys tonight." She runs off. Kagome smiles. "There she goes, like any other normal day we drop her off."
Inuyasha pulls out of the lot and goes to the assigned spot somewhere else in the city. "Yeah, that's what kids are now, but there are times that they feel embarrassed to be with their own parents." Inuyasha said as he parks somewhere secluded so no one would see them.
"Is there where we keep an eye on her?" Kagome asks in an uneasy voice. From the looks of their area, they're in an alleyway. Sure, their vehicle is a simple sedan, but it has gadgets built in. "For now. We have to be at a different location everyday so that no one would know we'd be here every day." Inuyasha answers her as he pulls out his laptop with Kagome with her own.
Moroha gets to the office. "Morning. I'm Moroha Takahashi. I'm here to get my schedule and locker." She said to one of the workers. "Let's see. Ah, found it. Here you go." The worker smiles as she gives it to Moroha.
Moroha looks down at the page with the locker number and its combination. "Ok, it says here in order to open your locker, you have to put your fingerprint on the pad." Moroha reads it quietly as she find the number of her locker. From the looks of the locker itself, it's a simple long and narrow kind. Moroha looks closely to see a black spot on the door handle.
She places her finger onto the spot. Once pressed, the spot glows green, unlocking the door with ease. 'That's new.' She gasps in shock. The inside of the locker has hooks for the jackets and other clothes. She just closes it so she can come to it later on. 'Well, might as well head to first period.' She walks to her assigned classroom.
