Some days later I walked out of that… place. Kaede still refuses to tell me exactly what it is called. I was able to go to school the day I was out, much to my disappointment and horror. The people that had tried to fight me, however many days ago it was, now fully avoided me and were still covered in bruises. Something that always made me smile.

The first day that I was back at school, every second person was staring at me. It was nerving and I sped quicker down the halls to go to escaping the prying eyes. No matter where I went, eyes followed me.

Sighing, I went to my form room and was glad to find it unlocked and deserted. Walking in further, I sat heavily at my desk with a sigh. Dragging my bag closer to me, I looked up at the clock.

Half an hour!

Why the hell was I here this fucking early!

Shaking my head, I grabbed my iPod and sketchpad out of my bag, getting comfy. I began listening to one of the songs I was meant to be fixing up as I flipped through my book and found the picture I was looking for. Sighing, I began to put more detail into the picture, knowing that Kaede would wonder why I chose this for the new album.

After a while, I started to add little splashes of colour, trying a few different shades for specific places. Smiling to myself, I started to sing along to the song that was playing. A new one that I had written a little while ago, that annoyingly still wasn't finished.

 

Is this a dream?

If it is

Please don't wake me from this high

I've become comfortably numb

Until you opened up my eyes

To what it's like

When everything's right

I can't believe

 

You found me

When no one else was lookin'

How did you know just where I would be?

Yeah, you broke through

All of my confusion

The ups and the downs

And you still didn't leave

I guess that you saw what nobody could see

You found me

You found me

 

So, here we are

That's pretty far

When you think of where we've been

No going back

I'm fading out

 

It finished abruptly, making me frown to myself. Digging through my bag, I took my headphones out of my ears, pulling out my lyrics book and opening it to this song. I chewed on the end of my pencil, staring up onto the roof and thinking. An idea came into my head and I scrawled it down before I could forget it. Looking back over it I read it to myself, ending up with:

All that has faded me within

You're by my side

Now everything's fine

I can't believe

 

Happy with that part, I stood finished the song and looked over it quickly, reading it to myself quietly before getting up and going to the door. There was still ten minutes before we were supposed to come into form room so I locked the door, not wanting anyone to run in half way through me singing. I walked back to my desk quickly, grabbing my phone out and going to the tune for `You Found Me', playing it and listening to it. I began singing from the beginning, putting the whole song together to see what it sounded like.

 

Is this a dream?

If it is

Please don't wake me from this high

I've become comfortably numb

Until you opened up my eyes

To what it's like

When everything's right

You found me

 

And I was hiding

'Til you came along

And showed me where I belong

You found me

You found me

When no one else was lookin'

How did you know?

How did you know?

 

You found me

When no one else was lookin'

(You found me)

(When no one else was lookin')

You found me

(How did you know just where I would be?)

You broke through

All of my confusion

The ups and the downs

And you still didn't leave

I guess that you saw what nobody could see

The good and the bad

And the things in between

You found me

You found me

 

I must have closed my eyes half way through the song, because when I opened them, Derek was standing in front of me, his back to the newly closed door. My eyes went wide as I saw the key in his hand and saw his wide eyes, meaning that he had listened to me singing.

“How long were you standing there?” I asked in a worried voice, not wanting my identity to get out.

“Since the part about the fading,” he says quietly, almost casually. “I didn't know that Kagome Higurashi had such a great voice.”

I felt myself pale suddenly, knowing that I was caught out. I grip my desk behind me, feeling suddenly faint.

“Its ok Kagome,” he says as he walks closer to me, “I'm not the type of guy to go blabbing around the school about the new girl. Trust me.”

His hand slides around my waist and pulls me up straight before he moves away. My face flushes. I wanted to trust him, something was telling me to.

“So is that the only song that the famous teenage superstar Kagome Higurashi can sing?” he asks with a smirk as he sat in the desk next to me, “or do I get the honour of hearing more?”

“How long till everyone begins to come in?” I ask with a small squeak in my voice.

“Honestly,” he answers back, “about an hour and a bit.”

“WHAT THE FUCK!” I scream as I look at my watch. Sure enough, the clock had just turned 7:30. My eyes and mouth both went wide, looking at the clock about the whiteboard. It read that people were supposed to start coming in any second. “Then why are you here so fucking early?”

He shrugs at me before grabbing my phone off me, going through it. I stand behind him and show him where everything was, letting him pick a song with a title that got his attention.

“What about `Anybody'?” he asks as he tilts the phone towards me, giving me a questioning look.

“Sure,” I say with a small shrug, knowing it would pass the time, “why not.”

He begins the tune and I tap my foot to the beat, waiting for the beginning part, my signal to start singing.

 

She left me hanging by a thread again

I stood there waiting like a fool for her

I never dreamed that I'd be in this place

But here I am all alone

Its not the first time she's walked away

Changed all our plans within a blink of an eye

And looking back its always been the same

But I refused to see it all for what it was

 

Has anybody ever felt this way?

Has anybody been ripped apart?

Anybody give everything to the one they love

Am I the only one left behind?

Am I the only one who hates goodbyes?

God I know this cant go on forever

 

I was clapping and tapping my foot around, pretending that I wasn't in a classroom, that I was in Kaede's studio room, recording this.

 

I wonder if she ever thinks of me

And all of the promises she swore to keep

Some nights I lay in bed just burning up

Cause I know that she's out with someone else

 

Has anybody ever felt this way?

Has anybody been ripped apart?

Anybody give everything to the one they love

Am I the only one left behind?

Am I the only one who hates goodbyes?

God I know this cant go on forever

 

I was the only one who gave up everything for her

When no one would listen I heard every word, oh

It took me so long to see that maybe I was better off alone

 

Has anybody ever felt this way?

Has anybody been ripped apart?

Anybody give everything to the one they love

Am I the only one left behind?

Am I the only one who hates goodbyes?

God I know this cant go on forever

 

God I know this cant go on

All I wanna do is just move on

God I know this go on forever

Yeah I know it won't go on forever

 

The song finished and I bowed, listening to the clapping that Derek was giving off, sounding more like four people than one. I giggled to him and dragged a chair over to him as we sat down and talked for a fair while.

“I still cant believe that you left everything, everything,” he said with a faint hint of a whine in his voice, “that you had in Japan to come to a shitty place like this and not want to say who you really were… why would you do that?”

“Because it got really with the media and paparazzi following two steps behind me whenever I go anywhere,” I say, looking him straight in the eyes and letting him know that I was deadly serious, “they stood for three hours outside my school on my birthday so they could follow me to where my party was supposed to be. I was just lucky that my Mama had taken me away from school only five minutes before they turned up. The principal was furious with all the attention that was being dragged away from his student.”

“Wow,” he said under his breath as he looks at his watch, “I never knew that being a celebrity was suck a hard thing.”

“No one ever does!” I sigh as I stand and go back to my bag, putting everything away before everyone else began to show up.

“Do you think that you could give me the songs that you are working on?” Derek asks me suddenly, “I want to help you with whatever I can.”

“Sure,” I shrug with my back to him still, “might as well. Next time I have to go to Japan with Kaede I'll take you with me if you wanted to come.”

“Wicked…” he replies as we both listen to the door opening.

We turned to watch the stream of people walking in, none looking our way until Inuyasha and his friends walked in.

“Told you he was here Inuyasha,” the shortest one grumbles, pushing her raven hair away from her chocolate brown eyes, smiling at Derek.

“Shut the fuck up Rin,” he snaps before he comes up to me, standing in my face. “How the fuck do you know Sesshomaru?”

“Wouldn't you like to fucking know Inuyasha!” I growled to him, looking him straight in the face, “how do you know him?”

He growled to me, snapping in my face as the teacher walked in and called for us all to sit down. He slunk away from me as Derek and I sat in the seats that we were in before, talking normally so no one would guess that there was anything between us.

“Class,” the teacher called from the class after everyone had calmed down a little, “we have yet another new student in the class. She will be here as soon as the office lets her come down.”

The whole class begins to murmur, asking each other if they knew how the new girl was.

“She was here two years ago so most of you will remember her. It will be good to hear about how things went for her after she left.”

A knock at the door signalled that the student was there. Everyone turned to the door and most were happy to see their friend again. Some of the girls got up and ran over to her, screaming her name. But she only had eyes for only one person. The person sitting in the far back corner.

“Hello cousin.” Kikyo smirked…

I paled instantly.

Heyya people,

 

This chapter was so much easier for me to write. I don't know why. Ummm, if I lost you in the end, Derek knows about Kagome being a singer and is willing to keep her secret as long as she keeps singing her songs to him when they are alone. Kagome sits in the far back corner and she is the one that Kikyo calls cousin.

Thanks for reading
