Invisible Camouflage

Chapter 2

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Blue eyes slowly swept over the room. The heated glances from all of the other students did not go unnoticed. What the hell is their problem?!

By the time the bell rang, Kagome jumped out of her seat and bolted for the door. Until the teacher called out to her.

"Ah, Higurashi-kun, would you mind hanging back for a bit?"

The other boys packed up their belongings and left, but not before looking back to their newest classmate. Kagome could swear that she even heard a few of them sigh while dragging their feet through to the hallway. The classroom had been emptied out, but then she saw that the teacher hadn't only held her back.

"Yutaka-kun will show you around, so that you can become familiar with the school. I also believe that you are to be his new roommate, Higurashi-kun. So this is your chance to get acquainted with one another." The teacher lifted a hand, which had previously been lying on the red head's shoulder, and nudged up his glasses before turning away from them and walked back towards his desk.

Taking this as a sign of dismissal, the two stepped out into the hall. Kagome glanced to the boy beside her. Mikoto looked agitated. Maybe not as antsy as he had been during class, but the scowl on his face never seemed to slip. They stood silently for a moment before he finally turned to acknowledge her.

"Alright, come on then..." With that, he led her away, grumbling to himself quietly. Mikoto brought her past the library, school store, and eastern courtyard. He didn't really stop to show her anything or even speak to her, for that matter.

Kagome didn't really care though. She wasn't all that interested in the school grounds. Especially after her drawn out tour with that man from earlier. Despite the boredom, Kagome did use this time to her advantage by searching for her younger brother among the throngs of students. Of course it did bother her how the boys would stop and gawk at her and Mikoto as they made their way through the crowds. But after sending another glare to the hundreth stranger she had caught staring, Kagome decided to let it go. Though she made a mental note to only drink bottled water while in the school.

All-in-all, things were moving smoothly up until the other students began to follow them. More and more gathered behind them by the minute, causing Mikoto to pick up the pace. Seven minutes later, Kagome found herself chasing after the red head with a mob of boys, all of whom were shouting to him, hot on her heels.

"Miko-chan!"

"Princess!!"

"Mikoto!!!"

This. Is. BULLSHIT! Kagome swore silently as she came up behind the frantic red head, she was panting in exhaustion. Now that she had her chance, she quickly rounded a corner and grabbed onto Mikoto's shirt collar, dragging him up behind her.

The stampede of savage teens bounded past them and, in a flurry of movement, turned to run down a different hallway. Kagome watched the progression with her back flat against the wall. Her arm was up and pressing Mikoto to the brick wall as well. Both of them were still gasping for air.

Once she had caught her breath, Kagome turned on Mikoto. "What was that?!"

The red head just kept panting and shook his head at Kagome who still had him pressed up against the wall. Before she could question him further, the intercom above their heads interrupted.

"All Princesses report to the student council office. All Princesses report to the student council office. Thank-you."

Groaning, Mikoto gently pushed Kagome's arm away and stood up straight. "Look, I've gotta go. Walk down that hall and you should find the dorm eas-"

"You're a 'princess'?" Kagome interrupted his instructions and gave him a skeptical look as he began fumbling.

"No! It's not-I had no choice-They-I don't want-!" He choked out a few more syllables, but the boy could see it was not getting to Kagome.

"I'll just wait for you to finish... whatever it is you have to do, then we'll both walk to the dorm. With my luck, I'd get lost." She reasoned with the red head who numbly nodded in agreement before leading them both to the student council office.

Things were pretty quiet as they walked back down the ahll where that mob had chased them not even fifteen minutes ago. With Mikoto dragging his feet, he must have been the last to arrive, because when he slid the door open Kagome could hear a few people call to him. Any excuses he may have said were muffled as the door closed behind him.

Glancing down the empty hallway, Kagome sighed. After a few seconds of standing in silence, she slid down the wall and sat down. She wasn't sure how long she had to wait so there was no use in standing around. It's not like they'd invite her in or anything...

Or will they? Hmm.... I'm really sorry if this chapter is crap (very short crap, not worth wiping your ass with), I was gonna introduce Kagome to the student council (am I even spelling that right? council, counsel...*shrug*) BU~T I need help with the pairings.

I would pair her with Mikoto, if he weren't so cute as he is (dedicated and all to that other girl), and (I'm not sure if I've mentioned it yet, but) Kagome's 17, the princesses are all 15, it's not much of an age difference, but her view point is of them is like her younger brother (who's 13, but skipped 2 years;; also-- I never thought to have one of the original guys to be her brother, I just meant Souta *shrug* sorry to disappoint).

So here are the options I'm willing to give: Kagome x one of the guys on the council (not the president, he's creepy)

or... Kagome x that kid-with-the-green-hair's older brother who everyone loves (the name escapes me, but you know who I mean)

...I haven't watched Princess Princess in a while (sorry for the late update, I've been busying), and I've never read the manga (tried reading it online, but the site gave me a virus, *bastards...*)... *point, point, where is my point?* ah yes, So any suggestions would be appreciated! *^_^*
