Chapter 3: Him
She remembered when she was a child she had revered him. He had been her role model... She had found herself wanting to be like him as she grew. She had a knack for learning things fast. She had once seen her mother baking a cake and the next day her mother found her putting it in the oven. It surprisingly tasted very good. She was very intuitive also. She sighed; he had been a child prodigy also. Dancing and ice skating at age three as it is. But as everyone says now she was a miracle, she hadn’t danced in all of her life but she picked up on it. It went for skating, and gymnastics too. She merely had to see, then she could do. Perfectly, no practice at all. But that only went for material and physical things.
She was an A B student. She was perfect... not! But she did try to be as good as they come. She was the model student... and she fell for the boy on the dance floor of her schools gymnasium stage. He had come for a showing, just starting a career and into community service, her hero... Dariko Sesshoumaru. She ad fell for him, hard, that day in seventh grade, he being only two years her senior, she dreamed of being like him.
When she got to college, she was merely sixteen, she excelled and skipped several grades practically two at a time, and she barely had to go to school the whole four years. She graduated college at eighteen.
Then she decided she would be like him. She remembered three days before, when she had asked if he was ok. That day his image in her point of view had dropped... but that didn't squash her love for him. He had been such a jerk... she wondered what she had done to make him angry.
Her phone rings, how wonderful, another tabloid reporter to irk her for the fiftieth time about coming back into the art of dance. She had come back because she found that she enjoyed it. Not because of publicity. Sighing she picked up the phone. “Higurashi, speaking...”
“Well hello, Hi-Gu-Ra-She”, the voice on the other line chuckled at his own joke. How annoying, but she knew this person. “Hello, Jak-o- lantern, she said in a sarcastic voice. “ You wound me, my sweet sugar plum fairy”; He had been her best friend in school, how quaint. His name was Jac Keller; He had been... well her backbone in life. She went to him with half the things that she needed and he would give her one hundred percent back.
“Would you like to have coffee with an old friend?”, she sighed, it would give her time away from publicity, and she wouldn’t be thinking about him all day. “Sure I would love to come”
She made her way into the quaint little cafe. How wonderful her life was. He just happened to be there. "Hello Kago-chan, guess what my old time friend, meet my...", She zoned him out for the most part. Why was he here? Her life was just so wonderful. She barely noticed that her friend had stopped talking until he said, "So you two know each other already?", She would have answered her friend, but no he just had to beat her to it. "We are mere acquaintances", How dare he say that it was her job to say that.
She sighed. Jac just nodded, before continuing on with whatever conversation, he had previously been having with Dariko. She was deep in thought before their conversation switched to a subject that she loved just as much as dancing... coffee. Maybe her day would get better.
Apparently not for as soon as they got deeper into the conversation, her friends’ phone rang. “Wait, one moment, you guys I got to take this call”. Her friend said as he walked away. Oh great... this is just oh so great. She is stuck with the jerk of the century. Her luck just had to change. What could she do but start a conversa- "Small world isn't it, Higurashi", oooh the jerk... he's a sexy jerk, but non-the less a jerk. No it wasn't that he said it... it was the way he said it. "Why you pigheaded, insufferably egotistica-", at that moment he kissed her and nobody noticed the group of reporters with cameras standing near by. What was she to do the man she loved was kissing her. The man she idolized was kissing her. The man was kissing her... her. She was speechless. That is until. "Well, that's one way to shut you up", She noticed the smirk on his face, and only one word came to mind, mmm sexy... Ok maybe two. "Jerk", and he had the nerve to mumble "but not very effective".
Why did he have to be so darn beautiful and sexy and... She had to stop her one-track mind before she drove herself any deeper into the hole.
She growled before standing up and leaving.
The next morning was uneventful, that is until she read the newspaper.
Conspiracy or love...
Was it a fluke that Higurashi won or was it more... She read a line of the paper.
Did higurashi disappear because of the shame of cheating her love... She gasped at that one... it was a little to close to the truth.
Higurashi Kagome and Dariko Sesshoumaru were seen today at a local coffee shop smooching...
Sex Scandal or No a Higurashi Dariko subject...
Hyperventilating she ran to her room and into the bathroom, she turned on the cold water, and jumped in robe and all... She couldn't get the picture of the kiss out of her mind, neither could she forget the feel of his lips on hers... She let the water spray her while she banged her head against the wall, saying, “wake up, wake up, wake up”, over and over again. Did she tell you how wonderful her life was? Well it was just terrifically wonderful.
