Where Secrets Lie [OHSHC]

Chapter 1

Many years later...

The angry, frustrated stomps, coupled with the grumbling were unmistakable in the Eastern-Western Estate...

Everyone from the staff to the nobles residing in said estate, knew just who those footsteps belonged to... and not a soul was brave enough to try and stand in their way- unless you were the Lord of the manor, that was.

Face contorted in a snarl, cerulean blue eyes filled with rage, Kagome stalked down the hallways, all of the staff scurrying out of the way when they saw her state. Normally, she was the one they wished to speak to, after all, their Lord was not always the most approachable man.

His Lady was far more suited to being social, and was, if they were all being honest, very pleasant to be around...

Unless you pissed her off.

All of the staff could see just where Kagome had come from, and then- it all clicked into place. The only one (okay maybe two, no wait, three- definitely three) that could possibly make the Lady this mad was the Lord himself.

It was unvoiced, yet unanimously decided that they would all make themselves scarce for the rest of the day...

Kagome continued to grumble, oh so very irritated with her new, oh-so-fantastic situation until she ran smack dab into someone; one of the few people who didn't scurry away from the young woman's wrath.

Their forehead's clashed together painfully, the miko letting out a wince and rubbing the spot. She opened her eyes to look at the offender, "Oh, hey, Chika."

Yasuchika rubbed his forehead and gave her a glare, "Can't you watch where you're going?"

"Don't you talk to me like that, brat!!"

The brown-haired boy recoiled backwards, "Sorry..." Kagome huffed, crossing her arms under her chest, and grumbling something unintelligible under her breath. It was obvious to Chika then that Kagome was angry...

And everyone knew better than to mess with the Shikon Miko when angry...

Her temper was legendary, and when mad, she could even get the infamously uncooperative Inuyasha to listen to her. Chika narrowed his eyes, frowning a bit, what had set her off this time? "What happened?"

"Those idiotic men, one who you call father, just told me I have to go to Ouran!!! Ouran!!!" Kagome threw her hands up in the air, cerulean blue eyes ablaze with rage. She paced down the hallway, ranting as she went, "I can't believe this!!! What the hell is wrong with them?!! Do I look like-"

Yasuchika watched her pace back and forth, blinking a couple of times... Wait... She was getting sent to Ouran? "You're... going to high school?"

"YES!!!" Kagome whipped around, glaring at the younger boy. "Weren't you listening?!!! They're sending me to Ouran!! I'm gonna be a first-year student!!"

"But... Didn't you not finish high school?"

"That's why I don't wanna go!!! And they're putting me in 1-A!! Do you know how much homework I'm gonna have?!!! Oh, the horror~!!!" Dainty, pale hands grabbed her head, and Kagome tried to hold the tears back. "I can already feel a math induced headache coming!!!"

Chika sweatdropped- why did he even ask? Kagome gripped the slightly taller, yet younger boy by the shoulders, a desperate look on her face, "What am I gonna do, Yasuchika?!! I'm gonna die!! And I won't even get to see you grow up!!"

"Will you stop being over-dramatic?!!" Yasuchika pulled the woman's hands off him by the wrists, sighing deeply. "You're gonna be fine."

"I won't!! I'm gonna die before-" she paused mid-rant, giving him an appalled look. "Did you just call me over-dramatic?!! I'm no such thing!!!"
