Chapter 1 - 3Cousins are in love
Hi, don't know if you know me but my name is Gem, this story has been on my mind for around two years now and I finally have the time to write it. I'm using Kilala instead of Kirara because that's how it's always been in my head.
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, Ranma 1/2 or Inuyasha, just the idea for this little fic (and even that was inspire by the great Sweet-Inu-Girl). I don't know how long it will be but I hope you enjoy it and I don't mess things up, please tell me if I do.
Well, lets get started!
Kagome P.O.V
It was my monthly visit home, and I was checking my e-mails before I started my dreaded revision. I used to love studying because I could get away with just fifteen minutes a day, but now that I don't actually go to classes, my grades have dropped and I can't understand a single thing the teachers say. Anyway I checked my inbox and found the usual adverts and boring updates from Yuka, Ayumi and Eri. I was about to delete them all when two subject lines caught my eye.
From Boy0.5 : Help, Akane is killing me!
From Demon.P.I: KAME! HELP ME!
My cousins had sent me a message, that was weird. I opened up the one from Ranma first.
Hey Cuz, It's been a while since I last heard from you. What have you been up to all this time? Anyway, I kinda have a problem. You know I'm not a mushy kind of guy but lately I've been feeling like a girl when I'm with Akane. She acts adorable and then I stick my foot in my mouth and call her un-cute and tease her. I love to see her angry expressions and when she smiles but I just can't seem to tell her that. Now she thinks that I'm into these other girls which is so not helping. Give a guy a helping hand?
~Ranma
That sounds just like him, too bad that boys don't get that we like them to confess first. Really, it's not that hard to figure out. He just needs to stop being shy and tell this Akane he loves her. The next one was from Yusuke, I haven't heard from him in such a long time so I wonder what he needed help with.
Yo Kame! You know I don't write unless it's important. You remember Keiko? That girl I told you I have a crush on? Well, she started to like Kurama and I need to make my move before the worst case scenario becomes reality and she confesses. I just need a little bit of advice. do it for me? Please?
~Yusuke
I laughed, both my cousins had written to me at the same time about their love lives. Being the only female contact of two 'tough guys' was both exhausting and amusing. I wrote back to both of them before Inuyasha was due to come back and forcibly drag me back through the well. I mean, I love the feudal era but sometimes it just gets a little bit too much. I missed TV and a nice comfy bed. Inuyasha doesn't get the point of watching shows about other people's made up lives when I should have been concentrating on finding the jewel shards. I wrote back to them before I forgot.
Re: Help, Akane is killing me!
Ranma, come over to the shrine after the last midterms. I'll help you out and I want to introduce you to someone, we can spar then. See you soon.
~Kagome
Then the next one was for Yusuke.
Re: KAME! HELP ME!
Dear idiotic cousin of mine, how many times have I told you not to call me kame! I am not a turtle and I don't care if my name is KAgoME. Anyway come to the shrine after midterms, I'll help you. Your ever patient relative KaGOme.
The e-mails were sent and I had just enough time to squeeze in half an hour of revision before Inuyasha broke my window latch again and dragged me through the well, holding me by the straps of the backpack.
"Sango, why do you think that men have such great difficulty expressing their emotions?" I asked the demon slayer as we sat in the pleasantly hot waters of the springs. "Their 'masculinity' prevents them from being emotional and seeming 'weak'" You could practically see the quotation marks around her words. We laughed until or sides hurt at the faces we were making. "Don't tell the boys yet but I'm having guests over on the other side so you're going to have to lend me Kilala" Sango's eyes lit up, not a good sign."Ooh, what kind of guests?" She wiggled her eyebrows in a very suggestive manner. Blood rose to my cheeks and I slapped her arm, "definitely not what you're thinking. They're my cousins and are hopelessly in love themselves" sighing I continued "so I'm going to have to play nice again, they're just helpless on their own." A few seconds of companionable silence later I sensed a sacred jewel shard approach. "Sango, we have to get dressed. Now." Giving me a knowing look, she dressed in her gear and ran towards the camp a couple of paces in front of me. Sitting Inuyasha awake we waited for the demon to show up. These attacks were becoming unbelievably easy to deal with. Wait for the demon, kill it, identify the jewel shard and then go back to sleep. Today was no exception. Another jewel shard was added to the bottle before we laid down on the blankets and got some shut eye.
3 weeks passed by quite quickly. Inuyasha could sense that I was hiding something from him and so hovered even more than usual. On the day of my midterms I rode Kilala to the well while the boys were having their bath, sending a silent prayer to the sky for Shippo I jumped through the well. 'I'm sure Inuyasha is going to have a fit when he finds out that I'm gone' was the first thought I had when my feet touched the wooden steps of my well house. I ran upstairs to make sure that everything was in my bag before walking to the station and boarding my train. Outside the school gates Yuka, Ayumi and Eri stood waiting for me and we revised until the very last minute, throwing our notes into the bin outside of the classroom as we passed by. The walk back home was refreshing this time, Inuyasha hadn't popped up out of nowhere in the middle of my exam to scare the answers out of my brain and the questions were actually humane this time round. Climbing the steps of the shrine, I heard the grunts and thuds of a fight. I ran up the last couple of steps to see what was going on.
Yusuke and Ranma were facing off in the middle of the courtyard, both panting heavily and glaring at the other. I laughed, it was too much. A pair of black haired boys turned toward me, identical looks of confusion graced their features as they saw their cousin on her knees laughing like a maniac. I wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled at both of them, opening my arms. Like obedient puppies they ran towards me and glomped me on both sides, slightly tugging when they saw what the other was doing. Chuckling, I pulled away and started the introductions. "Yusuke, this is Ranma, my cousin from my father's side, his mum is my aunt." I gestured to the smirking teen in a red silk vest, Chinese style trousers and what I could only describe as pumps on his feet to my left. I then waved my hand in front of the gangster in a green school uniform and gelled up hair. "Ranma, meet my cousin Yusuke from my grandmother's side." I waited a little for the fact that they were related to sink in before continuing. "We're going on a little trip, so shopping here we come!" Unexpectedly, they didn't groan like I though so half an hour later we were in the well house, heavy backpacks on our shoulders and since my new order of uniforms hadn't arrived yet, I was wearing a skort and a T-shirt with an adorable little cartoon puppy on it. The guys had already packed clothes and other essentials before they had come over so I opened a side panel that led to our 'armory'. Ranma opted for a pair of nun chucks strapped to his right thigh and a wakizashi on his left hip. Yusuke tied a kodachi to his side and made a couple of daggers disappear somewhere in the folds of his clothes. I stashed a couple hundred arrows in my backpack and added my katana, a beautiful blade with a sheath made of cherry wood. Lastly, I tied my hair in a tight bun and slid four throwing knives disguised as hair ornaments securely into it. We walked back out of the armory and I slid the panel back into place before balancing on the edge of the well. I gestured for them to raise a hand and placed a sacred jewel shard onto their palms. "Put this in your mouth, but whatever you do don't swallow, OK?" They nodded an I dragged them through the portal and into the same light that always carried me safely to my other life.
Once outside of the bone eater's well they both turned to me with expectant looks on their faces. "You know how while we were shopping you told me that you had been involved in some pretty weird stuff? Well, this is my adventure! Welcome to feudal Japan dear cousins!"
And there you have it! My first chapter. Hopefully it's gotten you hooked and people will follow and review to show me that they actually like it... Hopefully. I'll try and dedicate some time to writing the next chater but I don't know when that will be, definitely during the Christmas holidays or before. Anyway, see you next time!
