Chapter 3: First Day, Night Class exposed
Kagome woke the next day to a knock on her bedroom door and screaming from beyond the gate to the dorm. "Give me 3 minutes." She called to the knocker.
"We meet at the front door in 10 minutes." The person on the other side, a female, answered.
"Thank you, I will be there shortly." Kagome assured as she dressed in her new uniform and cleaned her teeth, running her aura through her hair before opening the door to see a long-haired girl waiting.
"My name is Souen Ruka." She offered lightly, bowing minuetly to the priestess.
"Nice to meet you, do you have any advice for the teachers?" Kagome responded with a soft smile.
"Three of them are Noble Vampires, two are Hunters, and we have a new one starting today; no one knows who or what they are." She answered blandly. Kagome reached her aura out and found the teachers with ease, she giggled as she recognized the 'new' one.
"I know the new teacher." She said brightly. "Shall we go?" She asked, heading down to join the rest of the Night Class.
"Kagome, walk with me?" Kaname asked, seeing her leave the group and stand to the side.
"Sure, Kaname." Several vampires hissed lowly at her lack of respect for the pureblood. Together they followed the Night Class out of their Dorm and into the school.
The last class of the night was the most anticipated one as it had the new teacher. Kagome smirked when the teacher from the previous class walked out and whispers flooded the room about the new teacher. "Didn't Kagome-sama say she knew the new teacher?" Ruka spoke up, turning to look at the girl in question.
"I do; as I believe, does Kaname." Kagome answered as the new teacher entered the room.
"Damn straight she knows me!" The puppy-eared half-demon announced with a smirk of his own.
"Kill me now." Kaname groaned into Kagome's ear.
"Oi, pay attention! I am Inuyasha Tashio, and I will be covering Fuedal Japan." He said as Kagome giggled at the Pureblood's words.
"Sensei, are you related to Ms. Kagome?" A girl on the other side of the classroom asked loudly.
"Hear that Wench? She called me Sen-" Inuyasha began gloating only for Kagome's sweet-toned voice to ring out cleary through the room.
"Inuyasha..." She began, shocking him and the other students.
"Don't you dare, Wench!" Inuyasha snarled, ears back and eyes wide in fear.
"SIT BOY!" She yelled, powers flaring in her irritation. "Stupid, arrogant, insolent, idiot.' She muttered as he was slammed roughly to the ground, face first.
"You'll pay for that!" He growled, sitting up.
"Sit." She answered smugly. "You never learn, do you?" She taunted her brother.
"Imotto." A deep voice came form the doorway. Heads snapped over in shock at the new man's interference.
"Yes, Big brother?" Kagome asked lightly, standing to face Sesshomaru.
"Rin needs your help." Both younger sibilings were before him, moving at demon speed.
"What are we waiting for?" Inuyasha asked, crouching for Kagome to climb onto his back, out of habit.
"Where is your mate?"Kagome asked, causing the vampires to look even more shocked.
"Ah-Un is bringing her." The Demon Lord of the West answered his blood-sister. Kagome jumped from the doorway to the window and then slipped out it, into a clearing to better access her healing abilities and patient. Seconds after she landed the two-headed dragon landed and the Western Lady slipped from its saddle, blood gushing from a serious wound on her stomach.
"Blood around her isn't a good idea." Yuki pointed out as she appeared, her anti-vampire rod out to protect the human.
"Once my brothers get out here I will make a barrier." The miko informed the prefect. Hearing fighting coming from the classroom she just exited, Kagome threw back her head and howled for her Pack. The vampires, that were quickly approaching the clearing, froze at the sound as both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha howled back and appeared at Kagome's side, using demon speed. Kagome threw up a barrier to keep the vampires away and placed a hand, glowing with her Miko healing powers, onto the wound.
Rin smiled as she felt the wound healing from Kagome's Miko powers. "Thank you Kagome." Vampires surrounded the barrier, eyes glowing red with bloodlust, unable to reach the source of the blood. Once she was completely healed Rin mounted the Dragon steed with Sesshomaru and they flew away, returning to the Western Cathedral. Once they were out of reach Kagome dropped the barrier and turned to the Night Class.
"Stand asside!" Kaname ordered, causing a path to open for him to approach Kagome. He moved to her side, eyes glowing red and filled with concern. "Are you hurt?" He asked the Shikon Miko.
"No, I am use to the effects of using my miko powers to heal." Kagome assured the original Vampire King softly. "I have a question when we have time alone." She added quietly, her eyes flashing to Yuki and away.
"Before we retire for the night would be best." Kaname answered before offering her his arm as an escort back to class. Unfortunately before the group of vampires could disperse, several Day Class students showed up. Screams pierced the air as one girl pointed ot the blood and another pointed out the red-glowing eyes of the Night Class.
"What is going on here?" The Headmaster demanded, eyes taking in everything quickly.
"A friend of mine came for my help as a healer, and because of her injuries the Night Class was drawn to the scene. The Day Class just arrived, probably drawn by the light from my healing my friend's wounds." She explained.
"No wonder they all look attractive, they aren't human." A girl from the Day Class announced.
"Are you scared of us?" One of the Night Class asked in awe.
"Not unless you prove harmful to us." Another Day Class student answered dryly. "For as long as I've been here, no one from the Night Class has ever attempted to harm us." They added.
"You don't care that they are Vampires?" Zero demanded, causing Yuki and Kaien to facepalm, and the Night Class to groan.
"V-v-v-vampires?" One girl stuttered in fear.
"Zero, shut up." Yuki whispered to the silver-haired vampire. "Please return to your dorms, Day Class. Answers will be given tomorrow." She spoke loudly, looking at Kaname and Kagome.
"Night Class, return to the Moon Dormitory at once." Kaname ordered, his eyes flashing blood-red.
"Kaname-sama, Zero-kun, Yuki, Kagome come to my office once both dorms are settled. Classes are canceled tomorrow." Kaien ordered gruffly. Kaname offered Kagome his arm and together they led the Night Class into their dorm.
"When we return we will inform you of the decisions." Kaname stated to the Night Class.
"Until then, if you leave the dorm you will be punished severely." Kagome warned grimly.
"Let us go, Kagome." Kaname suggested, turning to leave.
"Very well." The miko answered leaving with the Pureblood. She grabbed a random stone from the path and used it as an anchor for a barrier to surround the dorm. Then, together with Kaname, she headed to see the Headmaster.
"With the news rate here, parents are going to freak out." Yuki says as she and Zero approached from the Sun Dorm. "Did you have to mention vampires, Zero?" She admonished her friend.
"Hey they weren't going to figure it out from my words." Kagome growled when Zero gave her a pointed look.
"You said the Night Class was drawn to the area due to a friend's injury." Zero snarled at Kagome.
"It could have been easily explained away without announcing the supernatural world to humans." Kagome shot back angrily as they entered the Headmaster's office.
"Enough, you two!" Kaien snarled at both arguing students. "Kaname-kun, how will this announcement effect vampires?" He asked the Pureblood.
"Not much, most Noble Vampires are famous and well-known by humans. Same with the pure or really powerful demons." Kaname answered honestly.
"The last 500 years has seen demons disappearing from knowledge but old books should still have records of the Cardinal Lords, at the very least." Kagome stated bluntly. "It may have been 500 years but some families still have the scrolls from the Fuedal Era, when demons and humans lived openly together." She added. "Vampires too, I knew Kaname's Great-Grandfather in the past, along with his Grandfather, and Father." She smiled at both Kaname and Kaien, giggling at the look of shock on Yuki's face.
"I keep forgetting how young you are." Kaname said lightly. "I grew up to the stories of the Shikon Miko's travels."
"Speaking of my travels, did you realize that our new teacher is the half-demon of the legends?" Kagome asked, grinning lightly. "Now, do we erase the memories of the Day Class or inform them of the Supernatural World." She asked bluntly.
"The world isn't ready yet." Zero answered lightly.
"The Hunter's Association wouldn't approve of letting everyone know." Kaien murmured quietly.
"So Humans aren't ready while we are sick of hiding." Kagome summed up with at growl.
"Unfortunately most humans aren't openminded enough to accept non-humans." Zero added to the group.
"Why don't we do a 'trial run?'" Kagome suggested gently. "Ask the Day Class to not inform their families until the end of term. If by then they haven't accepted everything, we erase their memories." She finished her idea.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Kaname aggreed. "It will also help keep the more wayward of both Classes in check." He added to the Prefects.
"I agree, it would help keep the Day Class out of trouble." Yuki added her opinion quietly.
"Surely you aren't suggesting we allow the Night Class to harm the Day Class." Zero demanded harshly.
"Of course not." Kagome snapped. "If i understand this correctly, the Day Class do stupid and dangerous things to learn more about the Night Class." She started, "from my Student Handbook I noticed that it is not allowed to take pictures of the opposite Class."
"True, but they do it anyway." Yuki admitted. "It is one of the most abused rules we have, because they will do almost anything for a picture."
"Why not hold a picture day, so that they can have safe pictures and in exchange we ask for no more screaming outside our gates." Kagome offered a solution. Kaname nodded his consent for her idea.
"It would take the pressure off of the Prefects, and help keep the students safer." Kaien pointed out slowly. Just as he finished speaking, his office door was thrown open by an older version of the Moon vice-president.
"I will not allow this!" He hissed, flashing over to Kaien and lifting the former hunter by his throat.
"Ichijo-sama, release him." Yuki demanded harshly of the Elder Council Member.
"Don't tell me what to do human." The enraged vampire snarled at Yuki.
"Know your place, Noble." Kagome growled in a deadly tone. The man turned towards the Miko, showing his fangs with a vicious growl. "Release my Father at Once." She added, not intimidated by the angry Vampire. Seeing him tighten his grip on Kaien's neck Kagome snapped out a whip, wrapping it around the man's wrist. "Do not test Me." She spoke in a furious growl. He smirked before hissing in pain as she sent a small jolt of holy power though the whip, burning his wrist in warning.
"Do as she says." Kaname snarled, raising his Pureblood aura. The vampire froze and suddenly released the Headmaster, the scent of fresh blood filled the air from cuts, made by the vampire's nails, began bleeding. Both Kaname and Zero's eyes began to glow with bloodlust as Kagome flashed to her father's side, raising a healing hand to the small wounds.
"A miko in the Vampire class?" The man asked in shock as he took notice of Kagome's actions properly.
"Kagome Higarashi Cross Tashio." Kagome introduced herself with a small bow, dropping her human glamour.
"Powerful, is your family accepting contract requests for you?" He asked, looking the Miko over, appraising her.
"That is something that is hard to answer." Kagome answered raising an eyebrow.
"Why is that?"
"My Mother is a Shrine-Priestess, my Father is him," She began her explaination nodding at Kaien. "and I am the Blood-Sister to Sesshomaru Tashio." His eyes widened in shock.
"The Demon Lord of The West?" Came the whispered response.
"Yes, now may I get your name, sir." Kagome asked politely.
"Assato Ichijo." Kaname answered the Shikon Miko.
"Kagome-sama, may I request a contract with you for my Grandson?" Assato requested in a respectful tone.
"You have to ask my father and Sesshomaru." She answered, removing herself from the equation for the time being. "So Kaname, how do you think the Night Class will react to my idea?"She asked the Pureblood, ignoring the Noble's gasp of shock at the lack of a proper title.
"Most will agree easily." He answered with a gentle smile towards the only non-vampire he had ever loved. Kagome laughed lightly at his words knowing it was true.
"Headmaster, we need to announce our answer before the Day Class begins." Yuki reminded her adopted father.
"Gather the Day Class students, Zero, Yuki." Kaien ordered the two prefects.
"I will summon the Night Class." Kaname informed the group, flaring his aura in summoning as Kagome dropped her barrier around their dorm.
"Let us gather outside in the clearing." Kagome suggested, knowing that the open air would help control the scents. Everyone nodded as they headed out of the office. "Will you be joining us, Senior Councilman?" She demanded of the older looking vampire.
"Yes." He answered, watching as she reapplied her human illusion. "Incredible powers, Miko-sama." He admired aloud, gaining an eye roll from Kagome.
"Kaname, ready for a 'fight?'" She teased the Vampire King, he gave her an inelegant snort at her word, causing her to grin widely.
"You would wipe the floor with me." He answered to everyone's shock.
The Day Class students entered the clearing loudly calling for information, their voices hurting the immortals' ears. Yuki blasted her whistle even louder, trying to get everyone's attention. Kaname growled lowly at the noise level and Kagome let out a snarl followed by a blast of pure energy into the air, lighting the area brightly. "Day Class students, please stop shouting, you are hurting the Night Class's ears." She instructed when silence was resulted from her bright display. Kaname moved to her side and spoke in an even, quiet voice.
"Night Class, assemble." He ordered simply. A sudden appearence of the requested group was shocking to the humans.
"Kaname-sama." They all bowed to the Pureblood, reverence obvious to all.
"Students, by a mutual agreement from both Classes, we will be changing some things slightly." The Headmaster announced evenly. "We will be hosting events for both Classes, in exchange for certain things." He added when the Day Class began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Like what?" One Night Class student asked bluntly.
"A day for taking pictures of both Classes, to be sold to any student, in exchange for quieter 'mornings' for the Night Class." Kaname answered, eyes widened, from both groups, at his words.
"Every day when the Day Class waits outside the Night Class gates, screaming for their attention, you are hurting their ears and waking them up." Yuki explained to the shock of the girls that normally caused the problems.
"We know that you are taking pictures of the Night Class, regardless of the rules, often hurting yourselves in the process. We are offering a safe way to get them." Zero added with a light glare.
We will announce each event and the change requested a week in advance. We also request that no word of the nature of the Night Class be given in any manner to anyone that does not live on campus." Kaien ordered, eyes displaying how serious he was being. The Day Class all nodded their acceptance of the request to not share information from that night with anyone. Once assured of the Day Class's silence, everyone was sent back to their dorms. Kaname and Kagome leading the Night Class away silently.
"So it is a trial run." A vampire pointed out as he moved closer to the leaders.
"What is your name?" Kagome asked, feeling his sadistically evil aura.
"Shiki, Senri." He answered narrowing his eyes at her. "Who are you?" He demanded sharply.
"Kagome Higarashi Cross Tashio, I am a inuyokai." She answered with a demonic growl that had most of the Night Class shivering from fear.
