Lying back on the flight home, I tried to fall asleep, not wanting to remember everything that had happened in the trip to Kaede's. The demon in the airport that tried to kidnap me, the Shikon no Tama acting weird after we left the studio that night. Shadows gliding around my hotel windows, circling the room every night. Eventually I booked a different flight back for Souta and me just to get away from them.
Souta didn't know the real reason why we were going back early. He only thought that Mama had asked for us to come back because she missed us. Mama called us the night before I changed the tickets and I told her my plan, though not telling her about the shadows.
That was my secret alone.
Lord Sesshomaru took us to the airport that morning and made sure he stuck with us right till he was forced off the plane as we were about to take-off.
Looking out the window, I knew that we would be back soon enough. But I just needed to get away from there for now and escape the shadows.

Beep-beep-beep-beep.
Groaning to myself, I rolled over and whacked my alarm clock, hitting the snooze button. Opening my eyes, I looked at the time
7:00… in the morning.
Sitting up, I stretched out before opening my eyes. The poster of Dragon, the man who gave me the Shikon no Tama, was staring back at me, eyes filled with knowledge. I stared at the poster for a few minutes, being brought back to reality with my alarm clock beeping at me again after five minutes.
Getting up, I walked down to the bathroom, knowing full well that I would need a shower and that I was the only one that was up yet. Mama and Gramps will be up soon and Souta will wake about half an hour before we have to leave. Shaking my head, I undressed and turned the water on hot, standing under it and relaxing as it hit my skin.
Sighing, I sat down in the middle of the stream, wanting some time to think. Up until the Shikon no Tama was given to me, I never knew that youkai existed. People like Sesshomaru-sama were just normal people before. Now I had to see the real side of them, protecting the Jewel. Yet, as I sat there thinking about it, I had always felt different around some people, like they were hiding themselves.
Shaking my head, I stood slowly, turning the shower off and grabbing my towel, drying myself slowly. It wasn't that I didn't want to go to school, I just didn't want to be recognised by anyone. I knew it was a stupid thing to worry about since the front of one my albums has only ever had pictures of the back of my head while the others had pictures of other things.
And I didn't want any youkai jumping at me in the middle of school, trying to get the Jewel.
After putting on my underwear, I wrapped my towel around myself for a little bit of cover and crept back to my room, thinking of what I was going to have to wear.

I knew that it was completely strange to worry about how things would be in the new school. It wasn't like I had never done something like this before. It was just that we were in completely different territory now and no one knew who I really was. It was good… but freaky at the same time.
Once we were both up, dressed, fed and all the normal stuff that we needed to have done, we began the really short walk to school, looking around every now and then just to make sure that no one was following us. It was only about a 15 or 20 min walk but in the sun it was waaaaay HOT!!!
Souta was laughing as we reached school and watched everyone crowd around the lawn, talking to their friends and such. He and I stood there for 10 mins before a bell went and people started streaming into the gigantic building in front of us.
Sighing, I reluctantly followed, wondering why the fuck Mama would put me in a school again. Sure, mostly I was there for Souta. But I still didn't want to be there.
While I was off in my own world, Souta had already streamed off, following a young group in and trying to make friends straight away. He was always good at that and I was always extremely jealous of it. Starting up the stairs, I became aware of some people that were following me and it was really starting to bug me.
Someone behind me whispered, in Japanese behind me, “is that Kagome Higurashi?”
I began panicking slightly to myself as another reply came in Japanese, “I don't know. She sure looks like her doesn't she.”
I walked away from them quickly, weaving in and out of the crowds and trying my best not to run. I didn't care if I still had school. Right now I just needed to get back home and get away from here before anyone else noticed me. Listening as I walked, one of my old songs rang across the speakers, playing on the school radio station.
Something is definitely not right, I though to myself as I found myself in the front of my first class without having to look at my subject list. Something was telling me where I needed to be, and whatever it was I didn't want to trust it.

I sat in the room for about 5 mins before all the other children walked in, most were talking to other people while they all found their seats. Sitting in the very back corner, I watched as a guy walked into the room backwards, talking to a group of people that were following and all laughing at whatever he was saying.
He turned around with a smile on his face that faded quickly as he noticed me. His silver hair sat in a low ponytail and swished slightly to the sides as he walked, his cool amber eyes lost their glow as he saw me.
“Your in my chair,” he said, voice full of venom.
“So,” I said back, never taking my eyes off his.
“So move bitch!”
“Try and make me!”
“Don't tempt me!”
“I think I might have done that already” I commented back as a teacher walked in and turned to the board.
The mystery guy growled at me before turning away and sitting on the other side of the room, sitting and rocking back in his chair. All his friends just looked between us and shrugged, sitting in the row in front.
Absolutely no one sat between us for the whole lesson. And the creepy thing was that the guy couldn't take his eyes off me at all. I listened to the teacher drone on about shit, shit and even more shit before I took out a sketchbook and began designing the cover of another album.
I really wasn't that good at art, but Kaede always wanted me to make covers for the albums so that I had an extra `attachment' to it. Smiling to myself, I remembered what Kaede had given me just before the flight back here.
Looking down at my bag, I saw the little dragon that was hanging off the side. She was the only one that I had told about how I got the Shikon no Tama and it was a private thing that was staying between us for as long as I could make it.
Suddenly, I had an idea of what I could draw. I split my page in half and began sketching. I knew that it would take me a while to get them both the way that I wanted them both to be, yet for some reason I was motivated by some weird idea.
A bell went suddenly, dragging me out of my sketching trance. I looked at the clock and was shocked to see that an hour and a half had passed by me just drawing.
Shaking my head, I put everything away quickly and touched the Jewel, just to make sure it was still there. I felt the cool pulse run through my body and relaxed before looking around and noticing that there was three people staring at me, confused.
My eyes went wide as I realised that this meant one of two things:
I was recognised as Kagome Higurashi, or
These were youkai that were about to attack me.
Slowly, I edged my way to the door and ran out, crashing right into someone. Feeling dazed, I grabbed my head and let out a small groan. Everyone was watching and I could feel all eyes on me. Looking up, I realised that I had run into someone who was probably one of the important people among the students.
Noticing that this guys eyes were on my, I though I heard a snarl come out of his throat.
Oh great, I though to myself as I stood quickly and picked up my stuff, nice work Mama, sending me to a fucking school full of fucking youkai. Thanks Mama thanks.
Walking away briskly, I turned my head and looked over my shoulder, watching all those that were watching me. All the people that hadn't moved since I ran into the guy were all staring, making me thing that they were frozen.
Yet, something made me wish that they were.

the rest of the day went in a blur, and every class was the same thing.
People staring.
Teachers going on about jack-shit.
The same guy that was staring at me this morning still stared in every class we were stuck in.
Even the guy that I ran into in the hall stared at me for some reason.
I pretended not to take any notice of them, keeping sketching out what I started this morning. no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't look right. Sighing, I close my sketch book and look at the clock, realising we had seconds before the bell went signalling we could go home.

DDDIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGG!!!
Everyone quickly got up from their chairs, leaving as fast as they could. The teacher looked annoyed, probably wondering how much of the lesson had actually stuck with us.
Walking out the classroom door, I hear the faint murmur from behind me, starting slowly and quickly gaining speed.
“KIKYO?” someone screams out in shock, causing me to stand extremely still.
I had no idea why anyone here would know my cousin, even a fucking slut like her. A hand wrapped itself about my shoulder and turned me around, making me face a sweetly smiling face. Looking at the face for a few seconds, I realised that it was a guy from the first class this morning. His smile fades as he realises and a blush comes across his face, making him go slightly pink.
I smile sweetly and step back slightly, just enough for his hand to drop from my shoulder.
“Sorry that you have mistaken me for my slut cousin,” I say with a slight bow to show respect, “but I'm not Kikyo. I'm Kagome, her cousin.”
“I-I-I-I'm Derek,” he stammers back as I tuck a small bit of hair behind my ear, “Its just that you two look so alike. My mistake Kahome.”
“Its Kagome,” I say as I turn away and walk away, still knowing that everyone was watching me.
Outside the gate, Souta was standing across the road, under a shady tree that we agreed would be our meeting spot. I waved to him and he waved for me to hurry up. Smiling, I crossed the street and walked to him, knowing he would be full of questions.
“Let's just go home.” I say to him as I begin down the street, not wanting to be asked anything just yet.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We were both silent the whole way home. I don't know what was bothering Souta but I knew that I was annoyed with being confused with Kikyo, and for having all those people stare at me for the whole day.
Yet, for some reason, something still wasn't right.
I stopped suddenly in the middle of the sidewalk, putting an arm out to stop Souta as well. He opened his mouth to say something, but I covered it with my hand, letting him know I wanted silence. He nodded into my hand and stayed silent, looking around to see if he could find anything.
Putting my hands to the Shikon no Tama, I made it look like I was praying. Silently I called for my miko powers and sent a pulse into the air, knowing that it would reach a target soon enough.
And it did instantly.

hey pplz,
I know I'm being really nasty leaving it here but then I though that it will make me write the next chapter quicker if I know that there is something to motivate me. It'll take sometime before the next chapter comes because year 12 is way hard and I'm already swamped with assignments and upcoming exams.
Thanks to those ppl that read this cause I can see that it has been viewed a fair few times, but plz, can I get some more reviews so I know who likes the story and who don't? Don't be too nasty if you don't like it, just say why…
Thanks guys
