Chapter 5 - Felines and Prefects

Sango and Kagome went to go check their schedules at 1pm. As if by chance, the girls shared most of the same classes. Both were ecstatic to encounter such a miraculous coincidence. They left at 1:30pm to go back to their dorms. At 3pm, they were going to meet their dorm prefect, as well as the other residents of their building.

"I wonder who our prefect will be," wondered Kagome.

Sango played with her hair a bit, "no idea. I hope she's a nice person."

Kagome nodded, "me too."

The girls were silent for a while. They were walking back to their dorms and there was still an hour before the dorm building meeting.

Upon arriving at their dorm room, they saw two boxes at their door. The first one was a medium-sized brown box with holes in the sides and the other was a regular, large, brown box.

Kagome picked up the box with holes, "what's this?"

"She's here!"

"Huh?" said Kagome as Sango quickly took the box and went into the room.

"Sango-chan, what is this?"

Sango looked up at her friend, "Oh, I'm sorry Kagome-chan, I forgot to tell you."

Kagome was confused, "tell me what?"

Sango opened up the box and picked up a small white kitten.

"KAWAII!!!" squealed Kagome.

"This is my kitten, her name is Kirara," giggled Sango exuberantly.

Kagome picked up the little kitten. Her fur was white with a slight yellow tinge. She had black ears, black feet and black stripes on its fluffy tail. On the center of her head was a black diamond-shaped marking. There was also a large fluffy mane around the kitten's neck. Beautiful red eyes highlighted with small black marks gave the kitten an intelligent look.

"I didn't know you could bring pets," said Kagome with awe. It was a very pretty kitty. She set down Kirara and watched as the kitten began to explore her new home.

"Kirara's been with me since she was born. She's become quite attached to me, no one knows why though," said Sango as she began unpacking the other box. The other box contained a litter box, a small kitty bed as well as a pack of cat food and litter dust.

"She doesn't seem to really like the rest of my family, so mom was more than happy to send in an animal residence request to the school," explained Sango.

"Oh, I see. And the school let you?" asked Kagome

Sango nodded, "yep! I'm not even sure why they let me bring her…"

"Don't worry about it Sango-chan, all that matters is that Kirara is here!" smiled Kagome.

"You don't mind having a cat around the dorm?" Sango said with a quizzical look.

Kagome smiled again, "nope! I love cats! I have a cat at home too, his name is Buyo. He's big, fat and lazy, but I still love him."

Sango almost jumped for joy, "That's wonderful! I was so scared you wouldn't like Kirara,"

"Well, I DID almost fall in love with her when I saw her, she's so cute!"

"I know, my friends at school kept coming over to see her after I adopted her,"

Kagome looked at Sango, "where did you buy her?"

Silence filled the room. Kirara continued to pounce around the room, unaware of her owner's sudden change of mood.

"Sango-chan? What's wrong?" Kagome cautiously asked. She must have hit a sensitive spot.

"I didn't buy her," said Sango quietly.

Kagome was freaked. What made Sango change so suddenly?

"I found her on the streets," continued Sango, "her previous owner had beaten her. And when he thought she was dead, he threw her out onto the streets."

Kagome gasped, "Oh my god, Sango-chan, that's horrible!"

Sango unconsciously curled her hands into a fists, "that guy better hope I don't find him…"

"Hey! Kirara, you can't play with that!" reprimanded Kagome. She hoped Sango would take the distraction.

Sango smiled at her kitten's antics, "Kirara, how many times do I have to tell you! Don't play with flowers!"

Kagome mentally sighed with relief.

……………………… ………

Sesshoumaru was in his room. He didn't have much to do until the dormitory meetings started. While most people were wandering aimlessly around the halls or pacing around in their rooms, Sesshoumaru sat elegantly on his couch, re-reading his books. He was currently re-reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Other people read other types of books. He was merely a more refined type of person. He enjoyed the Classics. They were the only good books left in the world.

Sesshoumaru looked up at the clock on his wall. 2:40pm. He put down his book and got up. The meeting would start in 20 minutes and he, of all people, should definitely be one of the first to arrive.

He thought back to what happened almost an hour ago.

..flashback..

"Why, hello there boys. Fancy seeing you here," said a malicious voice, laced with a hint of cold amusement.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha turned around.

"Ki-kikyo!" exclaimed Inuyasha.

Kikyo scanned over Inuyasha for a brief moment.

"Inuyasha," she said coldly, giving him a slight nod. Then her attention focused on Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru, what might you be doing here?" Kikyo faked a sweet look, "you couldn't possibly be waiting here for ME now could you?"

Sesshoumaru looked at Kikyo with disgust, "for once, Kikyo, you're right. I couldn't possibly be waiting here for you. How stupid of you to ask."

He turned around and walked away in the other direction, leaving Kikyo behind him, fuming.

"Kikyo…" began Inuyasha.

"Shut up Inuyasha," commanded Kikyo coldly.

Inuyasha shut up and looked at the ground. If he were a dog, he'd be whimpering with his tail between his legs. Even after so long… even after what she did to him… She still had him wrapped around her little finger.

Kikyo turned and walked towards a group of giggling girls near the bulletin board. It appears that she had already created her own little clique. The former queen of the social ladder was to rise again.

..end flashback..

Oh, the Masataka boys were DEFINITELY in deep doggie doo.

Sesshoumaru knew what Kikyo wanted. She wanted his family's money and reputation. Her own father had ruined his own reputation by introducing his business into the black market and she wanted the Masataka's to make her life perfect again. Of course, it didn't help that she was a C student with no areas of expertise. The only thing she was good at was gossiping, bullying and spreading rumours about people.

Sesshoumaru knew it wouldn't take long before she climbed her way to the top of the social hierarchy. He wasn't all too worried though, no one would mess with him. He was the son of the OWNER of the school. If anyone gave him any trouble at all, they would be kicked out of the school immediately. His father had assigned him to carefully monitor student and staff behaviour, and to report any incidents at once. Everyone knew what type of power he had, even though he wasn't the type of person to abuse it.

When he arrived, the lobby was empty save for a few wandering students. There were chairs set up in a circle in the middle of the room.

Sesshoumaru sat down on a chair and waited for the rest of the residents to arrive.

……………………… ………

"Inuyasha! Hurry up!"

"Oh, shut up Miroku. It's all your fault," said Inuyasha with an annoyed look.

"What are you talking about? I was merely analyzing the types of girls in our new school," mused Miroku innocently.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

The duo bustled into the lobby, only to find thirty-three pairs of eyes glaring at them.

Miroku quickly sat down in an empty chair and attempted to blend in. Inuyasha, on the other hand, acted as if he was late on a daily basis… which was mostly true.

"Hey dormies, sup?" said Inuyasha cooly.

Sesshoumaru glared at his brother.

`Insolent whelp,'

"We shall begin our meeting, now that everyone has arrived," began Sesshoumaru, giving Inuyasha another death glare before continuing, "I am Masataka Sesshoumaru, your prefect for this year. Do any of you have any questions before we start the introductions?"

Everyone was silent under their prefect's intense gaze.

"Very well then, we shall begin."

……………………… ………

Kagome and Sango hurried down to the lobby of their dormitory building. When they got there, they saw a circle of chairs. Slowly but steadily, the rest of the students arrived.

Once everyone was seated, a bored yet demanding voice cut through the quiet mumbles, "alright everyone, shut up and listen."

`What on earth?' thought Kagome as she looked at the girl standing next to the elevator, `oh my god…'

She was almost an exact replica of Kagome! Other than her cold, devilish eyes, and her sophistication, they were mirror-images! Sango, as well as some other girls, stared at the new girl with their mouths open.

The girl continued in a monotone voice, "hello, my name is Kikyo and I will be your prefect this year… blah blah blah."

All the girls looked at each other… This was their prefect?

"Ok, whatever. Listen up you little brats, I'm your prefect. You do what I say. Kaput? If you mess with me, I'll report you to Inutaisho-sama myself. He and I are very good family friends," threatened Kikyo, "you little snobs got any questions?"

Silence filled the room.

Kagome tried desperately to blend in with her chair. Her building prefect looked exactly the same as her! What would Kikyo do when she saw her?

As if by chance, Kikyo happened to glance at Kagome.

She narrowed her eyes dangerously, "you," she pointed at Kagome, "what's your name?"

Kagome froze in her chair.

"Well?"

"My name is…"

"Is?"

"My name is Hig- Higura-"

"What are you, stupid? Tell me your name you little bitch, or I'll kick you out of my building,"

"Higurashi Kagome,"

Kikyo was silent for a moment as she contemplated with herself. She stared at Kagome.

Suddenly, she looked away.

"From now on, Higurashi Kagome, you're in charge of cleaning my room," said Kikyo nonchalantly.

Kagome sputtered, "wha-… What!?!?!"

Kikyo looked at her nails, "you heard me. Or are you too stupid to understand?"

Kikyo glanced up at Kagome, challenging her. Kagome remained silent.

"Good. You can start tomorrow," said Kikyo, "you may go to your rooms."
