Shikon Academy by QueenofdaTigers

New School, New People

Shikon High

Kagome jerked when she heard her alarm clock go off. Grumbling, she hit the off button and got out of bed.

"Are you up Kagome?", her mom called from the other side of the door.

"Yea mom.", she called back. She heard her mother's steps retreating and sighed. Today was the first day of a new school called Shikon High. Apparently, the school's principle thought she was good enough and sent her letter.

Of course she replied and was heading there today once she got ready. Her mother allowed her to go even though she was gonna miss her daughter. The school was all the way in Kyoto and they just didn’t have the money for her to be going back and forth. Sighing, she went into the bathroom and took a shower.

     When she was finished, she stepped out the shower and dried off. Wrapping a towel around her, she walked to her dresser and pulled out a blue bra along with matching underwear. With just that, she walked to her wardrobe and pulled open its doors. Clothes upon clothes filled her vision as she finally decided on a black tank that had the words ‘I Love Peace’ in gray, dark wash skinny jeans, and black flats.

     At the vanity, she brushed her waist length hair ‘til it shined then put it in a high ponytail. Then she took her make-up bag and pulled out her eye shadow kit and put on black eye shadow that made her cerulean eyes stand out more and she put on clear lip-gloss. Once she had put all that stuff up in her suitcase she went downstairs for breakfast.

“Good Morning, Kagome.” her mother greeted her as a plate of pancakes, eggs, and sausage was set in front of her.

“Good Morning.” she replied with her mouth filled with eggs.

“Are you sure you want to go?” Ms. Higurashi asked for the 100th time. Kagome sighed as she sat her fork down.

“Mom. I already told you that I’m ready. I’ll call when I can and try to send a letter everyday. Stop worrying, I’ll be fine.” Kagome picked her fork back up and finished eating. She went to the sink and washed her plate before putting it up. When she looked at the clock and saw it was almost ten, she rushed to get her bags and was about to leave when her little brother stopped her.

“Are you leaving already?” he whined.

“Souta, you know this is important.” she sighed and set her bags down again to give him a back-breaking hug before letting go.

“Bye, squirt.”

     On the plane, she had fallen asleep. The food was nice and the seat was comfortable but the movie they were watching was so boring it resulted in her falling asleep. Three hours later, the plane landed roughly, jostling awake Kagome. She mumbled something about inconsiderate pilots as she walked off the plane.

     At the entrance of the airport stood Kagome with her bags and a map in her hand trying to figure out where Shikon High was when she finally saw it. It was in a secluded area that was off the map a bit. She waved her hand to hail down a taxi and five minutes later yellow came to the curb. The driver came around and grabbed her bags before sitting them in the trunk and she climbed in the back seat.

“Where to?”, the man had a deep voice.

“To Shikon High, please.” The man looked surprised at the request but didn’t say anything. Instead, he just started the cab and pulled away from the curb.

An hour later, they arrived at the edge of a forest.

“This is as far as I can go, ma’am.” the driver told her as he set her bags next to her.

“It’s alright. I can walk from here.” she reassured him while she handed him 40 dollars. When she heard the squeal of tires, she sighed, picked up her bags and started the trek towards the school.

     By the time she got to the gates she was tired and amazed. Tired cause it was a long walk and amazed at the school. It looked to be centuries old and it was made of light brown stone. It kind of looked like a castle but smaller. Vines covered the building all over but not a lot so that you couldn’t tell what was underneath them. The campus grounds had luscious green grass and the trees reached the sky. Many different people were walking about, talking, or sitting under a tree. As she was walking through she could feel them staring at her and resisted the urge to snap their heads off. That would not be a good first impression.

     She was now standing in front of room 213 with her class schedule. Folding the paper in a tiny square and stuffing it in her back pocket, she picked up her 3 bags and kicked open the door. She startled a girl who was sitting on the bed. The girl immediately jumped up and took her bags and sat them next to a queen sized bed.

“Hi, my name’s Ai.”, Ai had sapphire eyes with reddish/black hair that reached her waist. A pair of black fox hairs protruded from the top of her head and a pair of fangs showed themselves when she smiled. Her nails were longer then normal and a black knee- length tail swung side to side. She wore a navy skirt, a white collared button up shirt with the first and last buttons undone, knee-length white socks and black loafers.

“My name’s Kagome. What are you?” Kagome introduced/asked as she pulled one ear, thinking this girl had an obsession with foxes. She was surprised when the girl yelped and jumped back.

“I’m a kitsune. Don’t do that again they’re sensitive.”

“A kitsune. You mean there are demons here?” Ai nodded yes and said that monks, exterminators, mikos, and hanyous were also here.

“Is that why they built this school in the forest?”

“That’s one reason and cause it’s so pretty. Now hurry up and unpack so we can get some lunch.” Once Kagome finished unpacking, Ai dragged her to the cafeteria. Seeing all the food was making her hungry.

“Come on, I’m starving.” said Ai laughing as she dragged Kagome to the line.

     Kagome was deciding between an apple and orange when Ai told her to pick neither. When she had asked why, she was shown the brown spots.

“I think they recycle them.” she whispered. On Ai’s tray was raw meat, cheetos, and some pocky. The raw meat made Kagome want to puke.

“You can sit with us. I know if I were you I wouldn’t want to be by myself.” When they arrived at the table Kagome saw 3 boys and 2 girls all talking but stopped when they saw her.

“Guys, I want you to meet my new roommate Kagome. She just got here.” There was a guy with silver hair that almost touched the floor, bangs that hung just over his eyebrows and there was a crescent moon in the middle of his forehead. His golden eyes gave her a cold glare that had a magenta stripe along each and also two on each cheek.

The next guy had the same silver hair and golden eyes. But he had a boyish look to him and oh-so-cute dog ears. His hair only reached his waist and had split ends.

The one who was staring at her like she was a piece of meat had black hair in a small ponytail at the nape of his neck, navyish eyes, 3 rings in one ear and wore a strange purple and black glove thing that attached to his middle finger and was wrapped in prayer beads. The girl must’ve saw him staring cause he got a good smack upside the head.

“Hey I’m Sango and that pervert is Miroku.” Sango had long brown hair that was tied loosely at the end with a white cloth, her brown eyes seemed to smile as she looked at her. She also wore fuchsia eye shadow and a boomerang rested behind her against the wall.

“I’m Kikyo, Inuyasha’s girlfriend.” she pointed to the one with the dog-ears. Kikyo looked like her but her face was more angular. Hr brown eyes looked warm and her skin had a healthy glow. She had straight hair that went to her eyes.

“And that’s Sesshoumaru.” All the boys looked good but she had to admit, Sesshoumaru was the hottest of them all.

“Nice to meet you all.” she was rewarded with replies of “Hey” “Nice to meet you too” “Will you bear my children?” and a glare.

“You better hurry up and eat cause class starts in a little while” Kagome looked at Ai’s tray and noticed she was finished. Sitting down, she got to eating just in time fro the bell to ring.

“Let me see your schedule.” Sango said and Kagome handed her the paper. The classes were:

Ancient History

Mathematics

Science

Training Session

Study Hall

“You have first period with me.” Ai announced. The others looked on as Kagome was dragged away.

“Ai’s gonna drag her everywhere. Literally.” Kikyo and Sango both shuddered as they remembered their first day. Dismissing the feeling, they too walked to first and got there just as the bell rang.
