InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Remember Me in the Stars ❯ Apology ( Chapter 6 )

Apology

It turned out both boys had the class with her so they showed her the way. What puzzled

Kagome was how in the world that Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Inuyasha, out of hundreds of

students, manage to share most of the classes on her schedule. When she walked into the

classroom she could see many pairs of eyes stare at her. One that stood out the most was the

sun gold eyes of Sesshoumaru. He stared at her with a look that Kagome couldn't quite figure

out. Ignoring him, she walked to the front of the class while the teacher introduced her. She

was given an empty seat by a window. Luckily it was a few seats from Sesshoumaru, so she

wouldn't be bothered by him.

The teacher's voice droned on, talking about the history of Africa. Her old school had already

gone over that subject so Kagome lazily looked outside the window. Thinking about her

arguement with Sesshoumaru, she remembered her mother's request. I guess he was right

after all, it's not really my business to butt into how he acts. Maybe I should apologize. I

wonder if he will actually accept it. Might as well try, I'm beginning to feel a little guilty.

Yelling at people on my first day, I'm better than that. If Mama was here, she would scold

me. She gave a small nod to herself, as if to assure herself it was the right thing to do. She

would apologize after class ended. The teacher began pointing at the maps, Kagome gave a

small yawn and observed the school grounds from the window.

When the bell rang, Kagome waited outside the door for Sesshoumaru to walk out. When he

did she tapped his shoulder to get his attention.

"Come to yell at me some more?"

Blushing, she shook her head.

"I came to apologize. You were right when you said I had no business in how you feel. I'm also

sorry for yelling at you. It was rude of me." Kagome gave a slight bow and took off after

Inuyasha and Miroku. Little did she know, she had left a young man thoroughly confused.

The rest of Kagome's classes went on smoothly, a few stares and a few glares (mostly Kikyo's

crowd). She was almost getting used to it. So what if I look like Kikyo? She thought as she got

another group of stares. Luckily it was her last class and Sango was in it. It turned out Sango

was in a lot of advanced classes like Kagome, but wasn't too good in math. Kagome, happy to

have a female friend other than Miroku and Inuyasha, felt the day didn't go too bad. When the

last bell rang, she wondered how she was to get home. Is the car going to pick up me and

Kikyo again? When she walked out the building she head someone shouting behind her.

"Kagome! Wait up!"

When Kagome turned, she was surprised to see Inuyasha running to her.

"Hey, I wanted to know if you wanted me to show you around the school instead of

Sesshoumaru? I don't think he's up to the job."

"Well, he did say that after today he wouldn't show me around. So, yeah, that would be great."

"Ok.." he stood, just looking at the ground.

"Um, I have to go and catch my ride. I'll see you tomorrow, ok? Bye!"

"Bye."

Kagome quickly walked to the gate and saw the car waiting for her. Kikyo wasn't inside

though. Kagome made polite talk with the driver while they waited for Kikyo. Twenty minutes

later, she finally showed up. She took her time as she walked to the car with her friends. She

waved to her friends as she, again, got in the front of the car. They drove in silence. When the

car reached the house, both silently got out. When Kagome was going to her room, Kikyo

stopped her.

"Kagome, I told you yesterday, I need you to clean up the hallway. Do it right now."

Kagome looked at Kikyo in disbelief. Is she kidding me? I actually have to clean the

hallway?

"Remember what we talked about yesterday. Now do it. I want the floor vacuumed ,

all the paintings' frame to be very neatly polished, and while you're at it, polish the stair rails

too."

Kagome had no choice, if Kikyo spread the fact that she had to work as a servant in her

house, then she wouldn't have any friends. With nobody to talk to, Kagome knew she wouldn't

make it through the year. She nodded her head.

"Do you have a bad memory? I also said yesterday that you are to call me mistress. You need

to learn how to talk to your betters."

"Hai...mistress."

When Kikyo turned back to her room, Kagome stared daggers at her back.
