Unseen Riches Chapter 1: Semi- Warm Welcomes

Kagome slowely turned, taking in the small expansion of space around her. Her large duffle bag was carelessly leaning against her leg. In front of her was a connection of a living room, dining room and kitchen, all in the space most people would think too small for one room. let alone 3.

What the Hell!!! Kagome thought furiously as she stomped around the small area. This was not the expansive living area she had seen in the brochures, it was hardly big enough to be considered a room! Walking to the solid wood door to the left of the room she uncovered the closet. That was what she thought until she relized it was actually the bedroom. All Kagome could do was stare at the small 7 by 9 room, something was wrong here.

A knock on the door broke of Kagomes string of curses. Her long black braid swinging wildly behind her she stalked to the door and yanked it open. Leaning against her doorframe was a thin girl with long black hair tied up in a ponytail. The unknown girl raised a slim eyebrow at the deathly expression on Kagome's face.

"I take it the room is not what you expected?" she asked cooly. Kagome's eyes narrowed to slits.

" Yeah, you could say that." Kagome said slowely, taking a deep breath to keep her calm. The other girl pushed away from the door and spun around grinning foolishly. " You didn't use your parents money to get in did you? Are you on a scholarship?" Kagome blinked in surprise, it was true that she had applied for many different scholarships so that she could attend Jaken University but what did that have to do with anything? The girl caught her confused expression and laughed again.

" My names Sango Blade." The girl said extending her hand, Kagome took it cautiously. " This building is for the students whose parents aren't rich or influential. I guess you could say we're the poor building." Kagome looked Sango up and down, the girl was wearing a black mini-skirt and white tank top with mid-thigh leather combat boots. Around her neck she wore a black choker with a simple white cross. To Kagome she didn't look poor, she just looked like she was on her way to a party.

" So if you got in on a scholarship or loan you get stuck in the poor building? What kind of crap is that?" Kagome was pissed.Why would a school care who was rich or not, in education it was supposed to make no difference. Sango just shrugged her shoulders. " So how'd you get in?"

" I recieved a computer scholarship." Kagome said with a sigh, it wasn't a lie, not really. The truth that Kagome didn't want to share was that her uncle had actually designed the new computer system for the school and the school had reduced her tuition if she would attend their school and do maintenence on the system. She really didn't like bragging that her family was one of the richest in the country, it was more of a burden then an advantage to her anyway. "My named Kagome Nekoran." The two girls chatted for a while, Kagome learned that Sango was her neighbor and that she came from Tokyo. Before she realized it was 7 pm. Swearing under her breath she quickly explained to Sango that she was supposed to meet someone and swiftly ran down the hall, waving goodbye to Sango.

Kagome bolted out of the old brick building and across the neat grass that separated her dorm from the students convention center, basicely it's a hang out place. Jogging along she glanced around, the main school buildings spead to her left followed by buildings she assumed to be the "rich" kids dorms. In the center of the whole area was the prettiest fountain Kagome had ever seen. It was made out of a clear white marble that shown like a light under the full moon. Carved out of the stone was a single wolf, not that it was ordinary, to Kagome it looked so real she thought it would jump off any second to attack her. Behind the wolf a marble sword stood half stuck in the ground, it was strange, the sword looked more like a saber than anything else. Really not paying attention to where she was going Kagome suddenly slammed into someone, knocking them both to the ground.

Owwww. Kagome sat up and held her head in her hands, her head was still spinning. " You bitch, what the hell?" Came an enraged voice from infront of her. Kagome looked up to see...herself. She shook her head, dazed, now I'm seeing things, she thought. She looked up again to see her mirror image being helped up by a group of preppy looking girls, no one made a move to help he. Slowly she got to her feet and looked again at the girl infront of her. Maybe I was wrong before, she thought. It was true the girl looked like her but there were differences, the other girls hair was longer and more neat and her eyes were to cruel.

" Hello are you retarded or something?" The girl yelled, poking Kagome in the shoulder. Kagome's temper instantely flared, she hated rude people. " I'm sorry." She spat at the girl and moved to walk past the affending girl.

" Hold it." Kagome stopped a few feet past the girl but didn't turn around. " My name is Kikyo Hoshina, remember it well for this isn't over." The group walked away, leaving Kagome alone. Kikyo, Kagome tried the word out, it sounded bitter. Remembering her reason for being here she continued toward the building.

Shippo's going to kill me, she thought as she entered through the broad arched door. Looking around her mind wandered to the younger, shorter boy. Shippo was the orphan that Kagome had befriended over 5 years ago, he was like her little brother. Even though he was 5 years younger than her and quiet a bit shorter he was amazing at computers, which is why he was here. Kagome's uncle had adopted the boy after she had insisted and soon he became as good as her with her uncles programs.

But at the moment he was no where in sight. Kagome sighed in frustration and ran a hand through her bangs. They had planned to meet at 7 after unpacking, it was now 7:15. She knew Shippo wasn't that impacient that he would leave after 15 minutes so she continued her search. She was stalking around the big leather couches when she heard a light thump from behing her. She turned to see a dark hallway, halfway down it a door was slightly ajar. Always loving an adventure Kagome hurried down the hall, not caring that there was nearly no light.

Reaching the door she stopped and craning around she carefully peeked in. Kagome squinted into the darkness, trying to adjust to the lack of light, shaped were moving in the inky darkness and rustling could be heard. Becoming very suspicious Kagome started to slide slowely into the room, hoping not to attract attention to herself. Suddenly there was a loud click and a dim lightbulb sprang to life in the bleak room. Kagome quickly jumped behind a pile of boxes, her heart was racing as she pressed her back to them, her eyes on the now visible open door, if someone came to shut it she was screwed. Laughter came from behind her.

" Looks like we got some newbees here!" Came a cold voice from farther into the room. Kagome winced and ducked lower, trying to became as small as possible. " I've never seen them before so they must not be in OUR dorm, they must be in that other dorm." The statement was followed by more laughter and a small whimper. Not caring about the danger of the situation Kagome risked carefully peeking over the top of the stack and froze. The seen in front of her was not very good.

Around the far wall stood a group of boys, about 5 to be exact. Kagome's attention wasn't on them exactly but what was beyond them. To her rage there was Shippo. The small boy was being pinned to the wall by a boy 4 times his size, beside him was another boy she couldn't adentify but they both looked scared. " Look at this one, he looks like a grade school kid." laughed one boy as he poked Shippo veciously in the ribs. To his credit the small boy growled and tried to bite the older boys finger, a gesture which earned him a slap in the face by another boy. Kagome bit her bottom lip as she studied the boy who she guessed was the leader. He was easily 6 inches taller than her with short brown hair, she could easily tell her was rich, from across the room she could almost feel his arrogance.

" This one looks like a punk, since when are kindergardeners allowed to have pierced ears? Hey Yash, what do you think we should do with them?" The leader said. His question was directed toward a boy at his right. The boy saying nothing approached Shippo, Kagome noted his waist length white hair as he carefully raised his hand and closed it over Shippo's throat.

" They'll let anyone in these days." The white haired boy remarked calmly as he started to tighten his hand around Shippo's neck. The younger boy gagged and started to struggle against the boy holding him. His friend, or so Kagome presumed, started to protest but was quickly shut up by a blow to the stomach. Kagome had seen enough, defiatley she stood and briskly walked to the group. Before any of the boys had realized she was there she was standing infront of the one called Yash. Slightly startled golden eyes met furious brown before her hand lashed out to nail him right in the cheek, the resounding slap could be heard by all.

Inu Yasha, know to his friends as Yash, loosened his grip on the small boy and brought a hand to his cheek. Amazed he stared at the mysterious girl planted infront of him. Her brown eyes blazed like a wildfire as she slowely turned to Naraku, the leader of their elite group. " Let them go now." Inu Yasha almost had to strain to hear her words, they were so quiet and controlled. Naraku's eyebrows raised in surprise at the girls request and looked to Inu Yasha. Their eyes met and a decision was made, he watched as Naraku nodded to Blace and Red, the guys holding the 2 newbies to the wall, and they released the boys who fell uncerimoniously to the ground. Who was this bitch? Inu Yasha thought as he watched the girl intently.

Kagome helped Shippo and his friend to their feet and watched as they dusted themselves off. She glanced at the loose circle of boys around her, wondering if they let her go easily. To her they seemed dangerous, especially the one she slapped. Oh well, no time like the present to find out, she though as she prepared to fight her way through the gang. To her surprise they quitely let her through with the two boy in haul. In her head she let out a sigh in relief, it was a bad idea to get in a fight on the first day. She was almost to the door when the leader spoke.

" Naraku Shiko." Kagome stopped having an eerie feeling of deja vu.

" Excuse me?" she asked.

" My names Naraku Shiko, remember it, this isn't over." Kagome turned to stare at him in astonishment. They must have a class for this or something, she thought,did these people have no origionality at all?

" You'll have to wait your turn." she replied before exiting the room, making a show of shutting the door behind her. I hope your all locked in now, she thought venomously as she walked back toward the main room with Shippo hand held firmly in hers. Mildly she wondered if insanity was a family trait, to think, this was only the first day.

That's chapter 1! I hope you noticed I changed last names because some of the characters just don't have one. So is it good, bad, somewhere in the middle? Reviews are always welcome! Just remember, she hasn't even attended her first class yet, it can only get better.
