DO NOT DISTURB
Lady Nefertiti
A/N: Welcome to another very Sticky Situation. As usual list can be found on my profile page. Thanks and don't forget to review! ah this fic isn't meant to disrespect anyone in high school (This is just a fanfic) Also just to mention that this Fic is going to be somewhat OOC. Just warning you all ;)
Summary: Some things were better left unknown…
Chapter 1: Disturbance of the heart.
-Synopsis-
-Tokyo High-
Bang! Bang! As lockers were heard opening and closing…..
Students pouring into school from bright yellow buses and walkers followed….
Hallways littered with loud students ready for the start of the day…..
Seniors were really excited about the upcoming 'graduation' trip…..
Juniors were angry that they didn't get to go on the trip. Hey they were (cough) ADULTS too!
Grumbling was heard that Monday was NOT important and they should've slept in today….
Some students asking the others how they did on their homework and the other scoffing saying what homework? Others shaking their heads that 'said person' were going to fail if they didn't do it.
Some 'smart and diligent' students running to be on time to get to class were seen going up the stairs since seniors were on the top floor of the school.
Someone swearing then a 'rude gesture' following…..
Some were found leaving the cafeteria since breakfast time was over…..
Some said that drinking 'Milk' didn't sit well with them so (cough) they were going to go home (rather skip class but who knew right?)
Laughter from girls as one pointed out how 'ugly that dress was' on her….
Some guys passing by (heads shaking) talking about their girl-friends and how she was insecure about their relationship…..
And for the teachers? They were everywhere. Outside school, inside and some directing students to go in the right direction. Some sighing that they didn't get paid enough. Some teachers laughing about whatnot and waving at another teacher to join in the conversation.
Some shaking their head wondering whether they did the right major in college. Perhaps elementary education would've been better. Pre-k to 5th grade was better right?
Some guys from Football passed by arms around their girlfriends talking about what they had done on the weekend.
It was just another one of those days…..
And no, this was not a school for delinquents….
Welcome to a normal day of Tokyo High school….
-End Synopsis-
"Ahhh!" Kagome Higurashi exclaimed as she tripped over a student's long legs. Done on purpose? Maybe? And she fell…down …down she went awaiting to feel the impact of the ground, flat on her face-falling to her doom.
As she fell she sighed thinking that at least when she jumped into the bone-eaters well it 'flashed' and she traveled through time-and she would land very gracefully onto the ground and well….only to hear Inuyasha's voice yelling about 'the wench being late' or something along those lines. Well every situation had it's 'ups and downs' she thought and sweat-dropped.
'…'
Huh? No impact? She wasn't hurting and hadn't 'kissed the ground' (like Inuyasha did with her beloved 'sit' command) and she felt arms holding her tight and gulped. A cold shiver ran down her spine. Whose arms though?! And she couldn't get loose?! They were a guy's arms she could tell and the only guys that were around her locker were Hojo and her friend Eri's boyfriend, Jiro Takahashi.
She sighed inwardly shaking her head (forgetting she had almost fallen to her doom and was in a guys arms) only to think that she was probably the ONLY senior in school without a boyfriend for ALL four years of her high school life.) People more than likely felt bad for her. She was sick all the time too so she didn't get out much.
It was probably all Inuyasha's fault though….he was the only one that could travel though time and possibly scared all the guys off like she was 'off-limits' and 'his woman' etc….etc. Depressing really.
Weird how she always had better luck in the feudal era….hell….even the demons loved her…..
Err…right, anyway,
'….'
Back to 'the Kagome situation' (who is currently in a guy's arms) and looked up to see and thank her savior who was of course, Hojo. Better really. She didn't want Eri thinking Kagome was cheating with her boyfriend or something.
"Are you alright Higurashi?" Hojo asked and put her back on her feet with a worried expression and gave the girl (who had tripped Kagome) a look of 'you better run' seemed like he'd developed some backbone over the years.
"Yeah. Thanks for saving me Hojo. That could've been a really bad fall." Kagome said. He was a senior like her and both were (well so Kagome said) would be going to the same college. For her-she didn't know WHAT exactly she would be doing over the years.
College? Chasing down Naraku and the Shikon shard? Married? Living here in the future? or the feudal era? It was hard to travel between both realms as she was always told by lady Kaede. Like she was telling her to pick her life or something.
If she lived here then she'd have to worry about college, bills, taxes, marriages, insurance(s), kids were expensive, divorces were common these days, funeral expenses amongst other things. But her family was here.
If she lived in the feudal era….well depending on who or what type of husband she married or if she wanted to stay single her whole life. If she married a human warlord or just any regular guy-she'd die an early death but would have to worry about other things like being attacked with swords-maybe demon 'magic' and poison. Guns and bombs weren't common in this era. Then she had her inu-tachi family here.
Even Sesshomaru was like family now-given how much HE hung around with the tachi—and Rin of course.
If she married a demon in the feudal era-a demon lord or half-breed she'd live a long life. Hmm….it was worth a thought or two. But then she couldn't see mom, Sota or Grandpa in the future? She'd have to ask Lady Kaede and huh?
"Err…Higurashi you okay then?" Hojo asked. She seemed spaced out? Did she need to see the nurse?
"Huh? Ah yeah! Thanks. I really appreciate it!" Kagome said saying (as a thanks to him) that they could walk to history together since both had the same class. Usually she'd avoid him since he did have a crush on her and she really didn't like him.
She would hate it if she had to say 'no I don't like you like that' so she just avoided him just not to hurt his feelings or would subtly (cleverly, faintly, delicately) try to change the subject.
"So like Higurashi….I just wanted to ask…." Hojo started. (But Kagome was in a 'spacing out in deep thought' moment)
-Kagome's thoughts-
'How funny that the topic in history right now is about the Warring States era. I can go and ask 'said person' myself since they're alive right now. Like a real face-to-face interview. Hmm where were all the demons hiding then?'
'…Come to think of it there were no girls in high school clothes/skirts walking around either. Something about people from that age thinking she was some type of harlot or giving men a free show! How rude!'
-End Kagome's thoughts-
-History Class- (With Hojo)
Hojo bit his lip and sighed. So it seemed that there was no getting though or talking to her at the moment and smiled inwardly shaking his head. They reached the door and he let her though first. They had a test today-who really cared about the Warring States era anyway? They were never going to use it/apply it-or even talk about it in real life.
He sat next to her waiting for his test as the students all whispered before the teacher came in. Mr. Takanaka. An old guy, like an old fossil-probably as old as the Warring States era himself.
'…'
"Welcome to History 101 class. As you all know we will be taking a test today about the Warring States! How fun! To learn about all those warlords and sword-fighting! Wham! Bam! (As he made gestures) Makes you want to learn how to sword fight and go back in time right?! Right?!" and he did a 'sword dance'
(Kagome coughed VERY loudly almost choking-face red- like she'd been caught red-handed) as everyone else just stared at him, totally and utterly speechless. Nothing came out.
Absolutely nothing.
Had he, the old guy finally gone senile? Who wanted to go back in time and be killed? Always in danger? Like anyone could travel back in time anyway. Not that learning how to sword-fight would be a bad idea really…..
'…..'
"Kagome are you okay?" Hojo asked. He had patted her back when she almost choked.
"I 'eemmm fine." Kagome said trying to talk and thought 'I think' as she saw Mr. Takanaka pass out tests. She tried to look normal as she felt her friend poking her from the back and nodded also trying to feel confident about the test.

-END TEST-
While Kagome was taking the test she grinned (not noticing other people looking at her weirdly—what was so exciting about this test?) going over the sentence about 'lords' she was really compelled to write 'Sesshomaru' as the number one answer but shook her head. Too bad no one talked about demons in the history books. Sighing, she just answered with the names that WERE in the books. How Boring.
Chewing on her pencil she started day-dreaming. Sesshomaru was even sexy when you thought about it. Better features as a 'lord' than these human guys anyway. She smiled like an idiot inwardly thinking about his death threats that would make a girl fall in love with him.
Err….right Kagome….
"Oi! How come…." Some guy started from the back of the room but was stopped by the other students said 'shhh!' The teacher was going to think the three in the back were cheating or something. Talk about a hard af test! This was like….this was like….was all this in the textbook even?
Kagome sighed and turned her paper over-pencil down-waiting for the bell to ring. Second period which was English Class. After English the seniors would be taking the end of the year 'senior trip'-and Mr. Takanaka had the nerve to give them a test!
She sighed again very loudly this time and stared out the window. She couldn't go on the trip though-she had to go back to the feudal era. She had to give her friends a sorry lame excuse of why she couldn't go and bit her lip suddenly feeling wanting to sit Inuyasha further than hell.
Of course she could go but there was something important to take care back in the feudal era.
BRINNGG!
BRINNGG!
"Pencils down class!" Mr. Takanaka said as he came around to collect the papers.
"But…but…I'm not done!" the same student said saying he was stuck on number 9. The teacher shook his head saying he couldn't help with that. (He had seen him whispering to another kid who had glared at him to shut-up since this was a test).
Students stood up, handing papers to the teacher as they passed; some mumbling about a hard test, some saying 'who the hell cares anyway? They were going on the trip and then graduating' so like, why did it even matter? Warring States was over and done with. May those dead guys rest in peace.
"Have fun on your senior trip class! See you in college in the fall!" he said waving a hand merrily as he ruffled the papers and was about to go over them and saw Kagome's paper on top and furrowed (creased, wrinkled, lined) his forehead/brow.
Looked up and stopped her before she walked out-"Miss Higurashi? Who is this Sesshomaru fellow/guy you wrote on this line?" he asked kindly.
'OH, Shit! I wrote it as I was daydreaming! I thought I wrote the real guys in the history books!' Kagome thought face paling. Err…okay. Calming down (knowing he didn't know Sesshomaru) said, "Ah no one really! Just a uhh…imaginary guy—person! Yeah! I….can I change it? I'm sorry?" Kagome said stuttering.
Damn that sounded really lame….
"Yes, of course. I just thought you had perhaps written the name of your boyfriend or something." Mr. Takanaka said looking at her test.
Then Kagome's face flamed really red, shades of red no one had EVER seen before and her heart skipped a beat. She could just imagine Sesshomaru's face if Mr. Takanaka said that in front of him.
"I'm guessing you are not going on the class trip?" he continued checking her test first.
"I uhh yeah. I have other plans. Have to do some shopping then I'm off to see…uhmm family in another city. 'Rather era…' Kagome thought sweat-dropping.
"Mmm hmmm…." He said. He handed her a 'late slip' as she said she was late for English and walked out of class feeling like he knew something.
-English-
English class was irritating seniors, you could tell since some threw notes and spitballs while ignoring the teacher. This was the last class of the year! Why were they talking about some guy who had passed away ages ago? That should've been discussed in History!
Grrr….
"Ah Miss Higurashi! Welcome to English. Please have a seat." Ms. Morimura said merrily as Kagome handed her the late slip and sat down.
She was pretending to listen but her mind was elsewhere-as she was sure was every other student that was in the class. This was a senior class so no one was really listening either.
The bell rung as students filed out-some ran out the school doors since it was the last day of classes-like fire (making sure any one of the teachers didn't hold them back) Kagome sighed as she went to her locker, grabbed her backpack and walked out making sure Hojo didn't see her or vice versa.
It was a beautiful sunny day as Kagome walked into the grocery store to buy 'lord Inuyasha's' beloved Ramen amongst a few other things for the rest of the tachi. She hummed as she filled her basket with supplies and stared at something that came into her view biting her lip.
Well…
Shrugging she; feeling brave-bought it and the rest of the things. She felt happy the cashier didn't ask her; just gave her a disapproving look.
Walking out the doors—several heavy bags in her hands she made her way home sighing about needing to walk up those very high shrine steps after this. Opening the front door she called out saying she was home but no one responded/answered back. Grandpa was probably in the storage room by the shrine, Sota had basketball practice and mom wasn't home from work.
Putting the bags on the counter she went upstairs to get ready to leave for her 'other home'. Going into her room she saw her poor overused yellow backpack and smiled. It just got bigger and bigger-almost like an endless bottomless bag that you could keep pulling stuff out of it.
"I'm home!" Sota said from downstairs as the sound of a bag falling dropped on the ground.
"Ah good." Kagome said as she poked her head through the door. She grabbed clothes, things from her bathroom, other necessities and made her way downstairs-pulling the poor bag along rather dragging it.
-With Sota-
"Leaving again so soon Kags?" Sota said while sitting at the breakfast table drinking water. He didn't like it when she disappeared for weeks on the 'other side' and they didn't know what would or could happen to her. Her home was here in the future-marrying or mating with Inuyasha-he wouldn't have it.
The guy still pined for his 'other' love named Kikyo…..
Sometimes he felt he had to be the 'big brother' (well he was taller than her at least now) and sighed as he saw her pull the yellow bag along with her. She wasn't going on the class trip either was she? Damn that Shikon shard! So Kagome was a Miko—OKAY-but that undead Miko, Kikyo was the real Shikon Miko! Kagome was just the re-incarnation and she didn't do anything wrong so why did she have to literally 'put the pieces' back together like it was her fault? Being dragged across time even to fix other people's problems?
Technically it was just a shiny ROCK…..
She dragged her yellow bag, and started filling it with food and other items on the counter. Sota gritted his teeth inwardly, very unhappy. How….How….was it possible to close that bone-eaters well so she couldn't go back? He needed to find out. Perhaps visiting a monk or some other shrine. He shook his glass 'round as he awaited her response. She was mumbling something incoherent to the ears.
-End Sota-
"Ah yeah, leaving as soon as I finish packing this bag." Kagome said in a fake cheery voice. She could tell/feel Sota was not happy since she had just arrived a few days ago and was leaving again.
"I see. Well at least stay for dinner." Sota said. Getting off his chair he put the glass in the sink and calmly walked upstairs like nothing was wrong.
-With Kagome-
Kagome blinked as she saw her brother's back walking up the stairs. "He's in a strange mood." She said aloud to the house. Shrugging she left the bag on the counter and went back to her room to shower and change.
Mom came home a few hours later and grandpa was sharing another feudal era historical story. They had dinner and Kagome grabbed her yellow bag saying it was time to go. She nodded when her mom said 'come back home sooner'.
"I'll help you carry that out." Sota said and picked up the yellow backpack like it was no big deal, light as a feather is was. They walked silently towards the shrine as Kagome sat on the well's sill/side about to jump down, backpack and all. She said goodbye and gave Sota a litte hug of sorts.
"Kagome…" Sota said sadly, looking down as he saw the flash of light and her disappear into the darkness within.
-Bone-Eaters Well-
She jumped into the well and was taken back to the feudal era as she looked up into the darkness. It was dark, midnight maybe. How was she going to climb up? She hoisted her backpack-grumbled-and was about to climb up the vines when she heard a voice and swallowed suddenly feeling nervous, a shiver down her spine as she heard him. Had he? When did he? Was he waiting for her?
"Lady Higurashi, are you down there?" Sesshomaru said peering down into the dark depths. He had noticed her scent 'appear'. He knew she came from the future. Curious and interesting girl, she was.
"I uhh yeah! uhhmm Hi! I'm coming up Sesshomaru." Kagome said and her heart skipped a beat again. She shook her head. Idiot. She hoped he didn't notice her heartbeat OR no heartbeat at all. Wait…why was she getting excited?
'…'
"Indeed." He said smirking. And how was she planning to do that exactly? Shrugging he—without a single thought-jumped into the depths and came face to face with her as blue eyes clashed into amber.
'Kyyyaahhh!' Kagome yelled inwardly about to have a panic attack of sorts. What was this?! 'Give Kagome a heart attack' day? And this guy was taking her 'breathing space' so close as she could feel the silk of his shirt and then her face went red again. This well was too tight for the both of them!
'Get away…move away and why do you smell nice? And I do not like the way you are looking at me! You look like a hungry predator!' Kagome thoughts were at the moment. Why was she licking her lips?
Thankfully Sesshomaru broke the silence (before Kagome had some sort of nervous breakdown) saying, "Hnn…so you arrived here okay?" he asked. He knew she jumped down a well to get here from home asking if she was hurt or anything.
"Ah, Yes. I always do. I don't-I don't exactly 'hit the ground' when I appear here." Kagome said. Did that sound right? She appeared here? She drifted into the feudal era from a blue glow-ish ray of light?
'…'
Well he didn't say anything after that and without even an 'eeep' sound from her, his arm was around her waist and he jumped up the well, yellow backpack and all. Next second she found herself out of the well, standing next to Sesshomaru, his arm still around her waist.
'I could get used to this' she thought with an inside grin as he let her go. She turned to thank him but he was already looking down into her eyes, expression unreadable. She blinked up at him wondering what was going through his head.
One looking at them right now would assume that the two were mates looking at each other in love in the moonlight…
Lady Nefertiti: I had to do a little research for this fanfic ;) So I suppose this fanfic is educational? Lol… Not to worry, I'll give you the answers to the test next chapter. Please read and review! Thanks.
