A Love Never Known
Chapter 1
Kagome slowly crawled out of the Bone Eater's Well, after a long week of fighting demons in the Feudal Era Japan. She always had a feeling of relief after seeing the sun shine through the doors that lead to the shrine. But today, the tranquility was interrupted when…
BAM!
"Stupid! You're taking too long getting up!" Inuyasha snapped, as he shoved Kagome up the well.
"Sit!"
BOOM!
Inuyasha wound up down at the bottom again.
So much for a peaceful three days back. Inuyasha did warn her than he was planning to go back to the modern era with her, but Kagome didn't think he was serious.
Kagome ran up to the house, with Inuyasha trailing behind. Kagome found the entire house empty.
"Where is everybody?" Kagome said to herself. She found a note on the kitchen counter.
Kagome,
If you just got back from the well, don't worry. Sota, Grandpa, and I went to help Mina move in to her apartment. We'll be back later. Please start dinner. Mina is coming over too!
Mom
"ACK!" Kagome shrieked. "I've completely forgot!"
"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked as he entered the kitchen.
"You have to go!" Kagome said.
"Why!?" Inuyasha argued.
"Because my friend
from America is coming over and she has no idea about how I've been
spending my time lately!"
"Where the hell's America!?"
Expect Inuyasha to not know a thing about modern geography.
"Wow, the place hasn't changed at all…" a young woman's voice said.
"It's Mina! HIDE!" Kagome told Inuyasha as she pushed him into the broom closet.
Why does she do this to me? Inuyasha thought to himself
A girl around 17 years of age entered the hallway. She was about five foot seven, with long dark brown hair that almost reached her butt, thought she always wore it up in a messy bun. Her brown eyes scanned the house. She thought she heard her best friend in the house somewhere…
"Mina!"
Mina looked up to find Kagome eagerly waiting for her at the end of the hall way.
"Kagome! How are you?" Mina replied, as she went to hug her cousin.
"I'm terrific!"
"I bet. You don't sound sick at all."
"Huh?"
"Yeah, Gramps was telling me about how you just caught scarlet fever the other day, and you were still recovering."
Kagome groaned.
Come on Gramps. Could you give a normal sickness?
Mina just smiled.
"You were just making me wait. You're so cruel, Kagome. We haven't seen each other for five years and you're making me wait just to see you." Mina said, making overly dramatic display of sorrow.
Kagome laughed. Mina was always trying to make things so dramatic. Mina was also the older sister Kagome never had. Before her mom's friend moved to San Francisco, Mina and Kagome would always be found hanging out together.
Then there was thud.
"What was that?" Mina asked, as she gained back her composure.
Inuyasha…
"Eh… that was probably just Buyo!" Kagome said. Mina wasn't convinced.
"If that was Buyo, then he must have gotten fatter… WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT WAS THAT RED THING!?" Mina said, freaking out.
"What red thing? Mina, you must be tired after all that unpacking! Maybe you should go lie down." Kagome said, thinking about how many times she should tell Inuyasha to sit.
"Um…I think I'll just go make myself some tea. Is everything still in the same place?" Mina asked, as she headed for the kitchen.
"Yeah, pretty much!" Kagome said, as she jets up the stair.
Unknowingly to Kagome, Mina followed.
Kagome slammed the door to her room. Inuyasha was sitting on her bed, giving Kagome a mean glare.
"What was that about!?" Kagome shouted.
"I should be the one asking that!" Inuyasha shouted back.
"Well, it's not my fault my cousin decided to come to visit!"
"You should have stayed in my era in the first place!"
Mina eyes grew wide as she eavesdropped on her cousin and this stranger.
Wow, talk about violent… Mina thought to herself.
Inuyasha and Kagome's argument continued, until Inuyasha noticed Kagome's Shikon Shards were glowing.
"Why are the shards glowing?"
Kagome took a moment to look at the container around her neck.
"I don't know." Kagome said.
Suddenly, the door rattled and Mina came crashing on the ground.
"MINA!?" Kagome shrieked. Inuyasha didn't move, mostly because he was caught by surprise.
"Ka…go…me…" Mina said, as she slowly started to get up. "Does your family know you sneak boys up to your room all the time?"
Kagome gave Mina a blank look.
"Please tell me that's a joke."
Mina lost interest in Kagome and moved on to Inuyasha.
"Hold on…" Mina said. She immediately reached for one of Inuyasha's ears.
"YEOW! Hey stop that!" Inuyasha shouted, trying to push Mina off.
"No way! They are real!" Mina said excitedly, as she kept on tugging and touching Inuyasha's ears.
"Mina stop it!" Kagome said, trying to get Mina to stop. Mina eventually let go of Inuyasha's ears.
"Kagome, he's cute. You got yourself a winner…" Mina whispered in Kagome's ear. Inuyasha picked up every word Mina said.
"We're not a couple!" Inuyasha and Kagome shouted at the same time.
Mina sighed.
"Still at the 'do I like you?' stage? Call me when you get further down the bases."
"Mina, stop!" Kagome begged. "You know Inuyasha, maybe we will go back. Just let me grab a few things and we'll be off."
Mina grabbed Kagome's skirt before Kagome had a chance to get out of the room.
Mina had on one of her world famous evil glares on her face. Her eyes were narrowed and you were able to see the coldness in her eyes
Mina, are you on your period? Kagome thought to herself.
"Kagome, there's something I don't know. You're staying until you tell me exactly what's going on in your life." Mina said, deadly.
Inuyasha groaned.
