InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Learning to Love Again ❯ Chapter Three ( Chapter 3 )

Hermione gasped as she walked into what was to be her new Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. As she looked around the dimly lit space, eyes trailing over every dark detail of the décor, there was one pattern she noticed that all of the objects followed… a very obvious pattern. Black. Everything from the stone walls to the curtains over the only window to the floor to the desks was pitch black. Speaking of which, she also noticed that their regular desks had been replaced by low tables around which was situated several comfy-looking cushions… which also was all black.

"So… uh… Higurashi-sama. Nice decorations," she complimented.

"Oh, you don't have to call me that," Kagome giggled from where she sat on her knees at a much larger but just as short table located at the front of the room. The girl, wearing a flowing black silk Juuni-Hitoe, picked up a small but very elaborate cup and raised it to her dainty mouth. After sipping her green tea Kagome continued. "You can just call me Kagome! We're still friends, aren't we?"

Hermione smiled and nodded, walking into the dark room and taking a seat on one of the cushions at a table near the front desk.

"Come on up and have some tea with me," Kagome offered kindly. Hermione nodded excitedly and practically ran up to the front of the room to kneel across from Kagome.

"So," Kagome began as she poured tea into another cup for her friend, "what are you doing here so early?" she asked. "It's still another two hours before class starts.

Hermione blushed. "Uh… I was wondering if you could tell me about that vampire thing."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I completely forgot about it! Anyway, so I was in the Sengoku Jidai -you know what that is, right?" At her companions nod Kagome continued, excited that she could finally tell someone all her secrets. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought since I have a friend.
