(AN: Hello readers. You're probably wondering why I didn't think of finishing my other story before working on this one. I was thinking about it a few days ago, and decided to make it into a story. The story is much better than the summary too. Have fun reading.)

From the Garden to the Well - Otoko no Ko
--
Kagome yawned tiredly as the maid shook her vigorously. "Wake up, Lady Kagome. It's nearly lunch time. Remember you have lunch with the other ladies!"
"Tell them to take a hike," Kagome mumbled, rolling over, and out of the sunlight. "I'm not in the mood for lunch with them today."
"But Lady Kagome..." the maid said worriedly once again.
"And stop calling me Lady! I'm not royalty." Kagome stretched out her arms and sat up. 'Stupid maid.'
"Lady Kagome, you are the 2nd heir of one of richest families in Japan. You might as well be royalty." The maid smiled unemotionally.
"I guess." Kagome leaped out of the bed and looked into the very bright sunlight. "I need to change. Mind leaving me alone for a bit?"
"La--"
"I don't need your help, now shoo!" Kagome pushed the maid out of the room and locked the door. Sighing, Kagome opened the large closet doors and prepared to pick one ugly kimono out of the many nice looking ones she had in her closet. 'Being rich has it's disadvantages...'
"I don't even know why we have tea time.." Kagome mumbled, picking out a dark green kimono with lime green leaf patterns and a black obi. "Tea time my butt!" Stripping herself of the white pajama, she put on the first layer of the kimono, and then the second. "Probably just to talk about stupid marriage arrangements..." There was a sharp knock on the door. "Aya, I told you I wanted some privacy!"
A girl with straight black hair walked into the room. She wore a white kimono with a honeydew flower design on it. "Kagome, the others are here. Woke up late again didn't you?"
"Bugger off, Kikyo." Kagome muttered. "Remind me why we have lunch with them again?"
"Mother and father want to make it like any normal girl's lunch." Kikyo shrugged.
"Normal? We aren't normal! We're rich girls who get pampered, get facials after baths and rarely get to do anything for ourselves! Not to mention we have arranged marriages with guys that we don't even know!" Kagome balled her hands into fists and began to breathe heavily, glaring at her elder sister.
Kikyo smiled, crossing her arms over her waist.
Kagome glared back, and crossed her arms over her own waist. Her cadet blue eyes stared intently at Kikyo.
Kikyo's chestnut eyes were sparkling. 'You're going to have tea, whether you like it our not.'
Kagome squinted her eyes. 'Make me!'
'Oh I will.'
Although the two girls didn't know what each other was exactly thinking, Kagome knew that Kikyo wanted her to go have tea with the other girls. The main objective was to not have tea.
Kikyo's smile became broader as Kagome's gave began to falter.
"Fine! I'll have tea with your friends." Kagome hissed.
"My friends? They're yours too." Kikyo said coolly.
"I don't have friends. As far as I know, they're acquaintances to me." Kagome ran a hand through her shoulder length hair and followed Kikyo through the many corridors, hallways and stairs to reach the tearoom.
--
"Oh there you girls are!" a black haired girl exclaimed. Her hair was put up in a bun, and she wore a thistle colored kimono. Her eyes were an unusual crimson.
"Kagome woke up late." Kikyo replied. "Good to see you again, Kagura."
Kagura shrugged. "This Yura Hea, a new friend of mine. Yura, this is Kikyo."
The one named Yura smiled. "Hey." Yura wore a midnight blue Asian mock tee and mini skirt with gold stitched string designs. "Who's the other girl, Ki-chan?"
Kikyo tensed. Yura certainly had some nerve to call her 'Ki-chan'. "This is my sister, Kagome. And by the way, I do not like to be called, Ki- chan."
Kagome mentally smiled. 'Anyone who gets under Kikyo's skin is okay in my books.' "Hello."
Yura nodded, smiling. She turned to Kagura. "Kagu-chan, where's Kanna?"
Kagura's eye twitched. 'Nicknames, nicknames, what's with the names?' "She has a terrible fever..." Kagura obviously didn't want to talk about it.
"Well, let's stop wasting our time and have some tea." Kagome quickly said, earning a relieved sigh from Kagura.
--
The girls were laughing jovially and snacking on cakes, creampuffs, and tea until Yura popped one unanswered question. "Have you guys been arranged for marriages yet?"
Kagome choked on her creampuff, Kikyo nearly spit out her tea on reflex and Kagura was patting Kagome on the back who was still choking on the accursed creampuff.
"What'd I say?" Yura asked.
"Nothing, Yura." Kikyo said, wiping the tea that managed to spill over her mouth. "About the marriage arrangements..."
"Yeah?"
"My dear sister is still quite uncomfortable about the whole thing. I have already been arranged." Kikyo turned to Kagura who was about ready to do the Heimlich maneuver.
"1..2..3!" Kagura bellowed, thrusting her linked arms onto Kagome's stomach. The deformed creampuff came out of her mouth. Kikyo, who was closest to Kagome, ducked as the creampuff flew in the air, and landed smack dab in the window. It was a very stick, and sick mess.
Yura frowned. "That ruined my appetite."
Kikyo was looking a sickly green. "Me too. Kagome, maybe you should have stayed in bed."
"C'mon girls!" Kagura said, grimacing. "Kikyo, your sister could of died from the sonofa...creampuff, and Yura, this is your fault because you brought up marriage arrangements!"
"I only wanted to know because I'm getting married next week, Tuesday, 10:00 AM in Kyoto!" The girls all paused. Then Yura was barraged with questions like 'Do you know who it is?' or 'Is he cute?' and one from Kagome 'Don't you want to stay a bachelorette?'
"His name is...umm..." Yura absently brushed her short, black hair with her fingers as Kikyo, Kagome and Kagura all leaned in to hear the name of Yura's intended. "I forgot."
Kagura, Kikyo and Kagome all face faulted as Yura gave a nervous laugh.

Kagome seemed relaxed as she wore a simple blue sweater and a light blue skirt out in a very large garden which belonged to their property. There were many parts in the garden -- a resting place and eating area, a large garden and the rest was simply grass and trees (well kept) that Kagome never bothered to explore.
Kagome was reading 'Girls Night' by Stef Ann Holm. She was nearly to the lovey-dovey stuff. Putting her book down, she stretched her arms and got up for a little walk in the garden. 'I haven't walked around here since I was a kid with my nanny...' Kagome sighed, reminiscing of the times she had with her nanny.
She was like a second mother to her, since her own was too busy going to meetings with her father so they would show a positive image. Now, her mom wasn't actually a bad person, and she loved her very much, but sometimes her father took too much control and just made living unfair.
Kagome proceeded walking through the garden when she spotted something utterly unusual. Blinking once or twice, she knew her eyes weren't deceiving her. There was a boy, lying in the large tree above!
"I wonder what that boy is doing..." Walking a bit closer, Kagome gasped as he saw that he had doggy ears! 'Cute!' Reaching behind them, she began to scratch absent-mindedly. "Maybe these are fake. No one could have dog ears, white hair, and claws... not to mention such outlandish clothing." 'But he's kind of cute though.' Kagome sucked in a breath when the boy opened his eyes. They were a bright amber, which quickly glared at Kagome, then at her hand behind his ear.
"Who are you?" he growled, getting up from her touch.
"Who are you?" Kagome demanded, a tinge of fear in her voice. 'He's got fangs too...'
The boy growled again, before very quickly, grabbing Kagome by the shoulders and pinning her to the green earth, his legs straddling hers. "I asked you. How come you were petting my ears? I don't like that."
"Why are you in my garden? This is a private property!" Kagome snapped back. She recoiled when he gave a dangerous growl.
"You bitch--" the boy's ears perked up when he heard a voice.
"Kagome! Kagome, where are you?" called Kikyo's voice. "Break is over! The governess is here! She'll be angry if you are late!"
"Kagome, ne?" the boy growled into her ear. "Humph." He leaped off her, then ran into the deep abyss of the garden.
"Hey! Get back here, Inu! You can't just run away!" Kagome yelled, shaking her fist. 'I wonder what his name is...' Kagome thought. 'What a strange boy...'

(AN: I hope I did well on this chapter. I completely neglected my homework to stay on the computer and work on this. Time t'cram! ^^ Anyways, please review so I can get the inspiration to write the next {hopefully longer} chapter. You'll probably meet some new characters, Souta {can't leave him out} and Kagome and Kikyo's parents. And questions will be answered then too. Ja!)
