Drifting Together

Chapter 2

Aaliyah sped through the parking lot on her black and silver Yamaha YZF-R1, desperately trying to find a parking spot so that she could get into the school building. She smiled as she spotted an empty spot beside a certain Chevy Silverado and quickly killed the engine and flung her helmet off and placed it on the handlebar. “I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!” she repeated as she darted into the school and enter the office. There was a gray haired lady standing by the desk with two young kids beside her, the little girl looking up at her and smiling. “Kadae, you have a new student. And by the looks of it, Rin thinks she is nice.” Aaliyah smiled and shook Rin’s small hand.

“Hi, I’m Aaliyah. And who might you be?”

“I’m Rin and this is my friend Shippo.” Rin said, pointing to the fox kit that was talking to Kadae. The gray haired woman gave her a soft smile and bowed to her, handing her a schedule of her classes and her locker number.

“I am the principal, Kadae Hashimoto. Welcome to Tokyo Academy High School.” Aaliyah bowed back and looked up at Kadae.

“May I ask, which way is math class?” Shippo hopped off the desk that he sat at and gave her a bright smile.

“I can show you. My mama has that class, too.” Shippo took her hand and guided her out the room. “You must be my mama’s friend. She was waiting for you outside for awhile.”

“Who? Kagome?” she asked and the fox kit nodded his head. Aaliyah fell silent as she and Shippo continued down the hall towards the math class. /How did Kagome have a kid at this age? I’m surprised that her mother didn’t kill her./ she thought as they stopped in front of a wooden door and Shippo softly knocked. The teacher stopped in his lecture and walked towards the door and Aaliyah held her breath before slowly letting it go. The teacher was very handsome, and looked as if he was a dragon demon.

“Mr. Nojima, you have a new student. Her name is Aaliyah.” Aaliyah bowed as he eyed her and slowly began to smile.

“Ah, what a beautiful name for a beautiful young woman. Please come in and thank you, Shippo.” Shippo quickly hugged her leg and ran off, waving over his shoulder. The seventeen year old waved back and enter the classroom without hesitation, glancing around the room until she spotted Kagome and Sango waving at her in the back and pointing to an empty seat between them. She nodded and Mr. Nojima stepped beside her and leaned against his wooden desk. “I’m happy to see you here. Please introduce yourself.”

“Well, my name is Aaliyah Nicole Johnson, but you can either call me AJ or Aaliyah. I am seventeen years old and I came from Oakland, California.”

“Do you have parents or relatives you are staying with?”

“Yes. I am staying with my uncle who is the chief of police. My parents are dead.” Mr. Nojima nodded slowly and gave her a warm smile.

“Well, whatever you need you either ask me or your two hyper friends back there in the corner.” Aaliyah nodded and bowed again before making her way to her friends, noticing how the guys in the classroom were giving her long wanting looks and giving soft wolf whistles and how the female were just hating on her, whispering ‘who does she think she is’ and ‘she looks horrible’. Mentally shrugging, the teen sat down between her friends and smiled as Kagome hugged her around her neck. Mr. Nojima continued his lecture as the three began to whisper in the back.

“What took you so long?” Sango asked in a stern voice, crossing her arms over her torso.

“I took the wrong turn earlier and had to find an empty spot. Sorry I didn’t call.”

Kagome shrugged. “It’s okay. As long as you are here and showed up in one piece. We’ll show you around this dump during lunch.”


Lunch came slowly but soon made it as the three girls walked through the double doors and walked over to their table. “Okay, to your left are the Assassins, a street racing gang. Their leader is Sesshoumaru Nomaru.” Sango said as they passed the empty table up. “You’ll see them in a couple of minutes.” Aaliyah nodded in response. She all ready knew who the leader was; she just didn’t know how they looked. Kagome pointed to a crowed table to her right and sneered as a dark haired girl was rubbing all over a silver haired hanyou.

“That’s the Tetseigia gang. They’re leader is InuYasha Nomaru, Sesshoumaru’s half brother. But they don’t claim each other any way. And that’s his whore Kikyo.” InuYasha was having a light conversation with his members when he suddenly looked up and saw that Kagome and Sango were leading a fine ass girl around the room. The hanyou pushed the bimbo-want-to-be off his lap and walked over to the three girls and smirked.

“Oi, wench. Who is this hot piece walking around with you?”

Before Kagome could open her mouth, Aaliyah stepped in front of her and gave InuYasha a cold look. “First of all, she has a name. Use it, and second of all, wouldn’t you like to know.”

InuYasha chuckled as he traced her jaw line out with his clawed finger. “Feisty little kitten is you? I like that.”

Aaliyah took the hanyou’s finger and bend it back, her face still cold, but her eyes burning with fire. “Watch it. This kitty will break you in half.” InuYasha pulled his finger away and began to rub on the sore limb with a small smile on his face. Kikyo ran over to her boyfriend and touched his arm while throwing a glare over to Aaliyah.

“You little bitch! How dare you touch my boyfriend with your filthy hands.”

“Hold up! Who is you callin’ a bitch?” Aaliyah yelled, taking a step forward only to be held back by both of her friends. “Look, you damn trick, don’t nobody care ‘bout you or your little one cent boyfriend. You better watch your mouth before I break your jaw.” The cafeteria went into silence as the double doors burst open and the Assassins walked in, their leader holding Rin’s small hand. Rin saw Aaliyah and burst into a smile and broke away from her father’s grip.

“Aaliyah!” Aaliyah blinked and looked over where her small friend was running towards her. She quickly put on a smile and met her half way, opening her arms so that Rin could hug her. Rin ran into her arms and Aaliyah picked her up, hugging her back. “I missed you, Aaliyah.”

“Oh, sweetie, I’ve missed you, too.” She placed Rin back on the floor and Rin took her hand. “Where are you taking me?” she asked as the young girl pulled her over to Sesshoumaru. The dark haired girl smiled as she looked up to the taiyoukai.

“Daddy, this is my new friend Aaliyah. She’s from California and she’s really nice. Aaliyah, this is my daddy, Sesshoumaru. Leader of the Assassins." Aaliyah looked up, carefully eyeing his defined arm muscles before she reached his face. Though his eyes were covered by his shades, she could see the amber colored orbs staring back at her with a hint of curiosity in the cold gaze. The seventeen year old beauty smiled softly and slight bowed; showing him respect because the fact that he has a child.

Through the dark shades, Sesshoumaru was a bit shocked to see that the human girl bowed to him in respect and could see right through the rimless shades to his eyes. To him, and he doesn’t even like humans, she was the most beautiful being he had ever set eyes on. He slowly gazed over 5’2 form, taking in the natural flawless tan skin, the long ebony hair that went a bit pass her butt, those mesmerizing blue eyes, and downwards to her size C chest and her curvy hips, butt, and thighs. The leader of the racing group took Rin’s small hand in his and did what no one expect him to do-ever.

He bowed back and gave Aaliyah a small smile. The whole place was shocked! The tall taiyoukai walked towards the lunch line so Rin could pick up a meal. The young girl waved over her shoulder to Aaliyah, who only waved back. Shippo ran through the double doors and into Kagome’s arms as they all stared at the scene. The fox kit looked over where Aaliyah was making her way back to the three. “What happened, Momma?”

“N-nothing, son. Just nothing.” Kagome replied, looking at her friend as she stood in front of them. “Girl, you are so lucky. No one has ever got that close to Sesshoumaru or made him bow back with a smile!”

Aaliyah shrugged it off as they walked into line. She stood right beside Hiten who looked her up and down. “You’re making it as if it is a big deal.”

“It is.” Hiten spoke up. “You are human, and our leader never speaks or gets near one.”

“So, I guess I made history. And you are?”

“Hiten, captain of the Assassins. Damn, somebody needs to call the fire department up in here ‘cause you’re hot!” Aaliyah smiled and began to fan herself, causing the four to laugh at her. Rin looked back at her friend and then looked at her daddy, pulling on his shirt.

“Daddy, may I sit with Aaliyah and Shippo before we go?” she asked, making Sesshoumaru tilt his glasses down to look at her. Rin had a cute pout on and she did her famous puppy eyes on him that always let her get her way. The dog demon sighed and slowly nodded, handing her a white envelop with a blue seal.

“If I am not in here, have her to walk you out to the truck.” Rin took the envelope and waited patiently for her friends to walk through. Hiten was killing himself laughing as Aaliyah cracked jokes about Kikyo and InuYasha both, wiping away his tears as he walked beside her.

“You’re cool. I like that about you. You say what’s on your mind so far about everything. But I’ll catch up with you later.”

“Okay, bye. Oh, hey Rin. You’re sitting with us?”

The dark haired girl nodded and followed Shippo as he led the group to their table and passes the Assassins. “My daddy wants me to give us this.” She handed the note to Aaliyah who took it and set her tray down on their table and opened it. She read over the note and slowly began to smile and tuck the note into her shirt. The group eyed her curiously as they began to eat and talk about the note, which the teen wouldn’t tell them what was on it.

After the bell, Kagome and Sango waited beside Aaliyah and Rin as she placed her books into her locker with a small sigh. “So, what are you going to do today?” Sango asked as the teen shut the door and took Rin’s hand in hers. Aaliyah sighed again as she softly shrugged her shoulder, shaking her head as she began to think.

“Nothing that I know of. Hey, you two want to come over and help me unpack some more of my things. Then after that, we can ride around town.”

“That sounds like a plan. I’ll be over.” Sango said.

“Me,too. Well, this is where we go our separate ways.” Kagome said with a smile. Kagome dug her bike’s keys out and walked over to her motorcycle. Sango walked over to her black and chrome Camero and hopped in, cranking the engine. The two girls pulled out and sped away into traffic. Aaliyah looked down at Rin and walked over to where the Assassins were standing. Walking up closer, she noticed that Sesshoumaru was sitting on the back of his truck and a tanned man was leaned against her bike. She crossed her arms over her chest and cleared her throat, causing the man to look up at her with gray eyes.

“What is it?” he gruffly asked, his dark hair in a high ponytail.

“You’re on my bike.” Hiten growled at him softly and the senior got off her bike and Rin ran over to her father. Aaliyah took her helmet off the handlebar and hopped on her bike. The group of males looked wide eyed as she pushed her bike out so that she was sitting in front of Sesshoumaru. Hiten looked over her bike as he thought back where he had seen that bike before. “Is this your invitation to me?”

“Do you or do you not?” Sesshoumaru simply asked, looking directly into her eyes. She gave him a sexy look before leaning over and sitting her key into the ignition. “Well, human?”

“I have a name, demon. Use it.” Said Aaliyah, looking down for a while. “What time do you me to be there?”

“8:30”

“I’ll be there.” Aaliyah said, slipping her black helmet over her head and cranking the bike up. Before speeding out the parking lot, she gave Hiten a nod and quickly sped away, making him snap his fingers.

“Ah, shit! How come I didn’t think of it before!”

“What are you talking about?” the same demon asked as he watched Aaliyah speed into traffic.

“Dude, that is Aaliyah Johnson. The Underground league’s number one ranking street race in the world!”

Sesshoumaru took the information in and slowly began to smirk. /So you are the famous Aaliyah Johnson that everyone has been talking about. Looks like Tokyo will be restless for awhile now that you are here./
