The Adopted Hinamori

Chapter One: Kagome Hinamori

The Final Battle against Naraku had finished. Kagome was relieved yet grieved. She was the only survivor. Even after all their preparation, they had all died except her. Kagome leaned against a tree. She was using it to keep her balance. All of the sudden Midoriko appeared before her. "L-Lady Midoriko," she gasped.

"You need not call me that child. We are equals." She gave a warming smile as if she knew of nothing that had just happened. Her smile then turned into a slight frown. "I apologize, but you cannot rest just yet. Your destiny is not quite over yet I'm afraid. However to complete your destiny you will revert back to a child, and forget your time in the Feudal Era."

Kagome let a tear fall. "It's alright. There are so many pains here. I just want to forget."

Midoriko approached Kagome and put a hand on her forehead. "I wish you luck. I shall be watching from afar."

In a bright light Kagome disappeared.

Kagome groaned. She opened her eyes to find herself on the ground in a park. She appeared to be five. Her black hair descends to her shoulder while her large blue eyes seemed lost and confused. She wore a black skirt and a white blouse. 'Where am I? What happened? Who am I? Kagome... that seems right, but why can't I remember anything else?'

She closed her eyes and stood up. When she opened her eyes, her own blue eyes clashed with golden eyes. In front of her stood a girl, who was maybe her age, and she had pink hair and golden eyes. Her parents came running over to their daughter when they noticed the other girl.

The mom saw that she was all alone. She asked the lone child, "Who are you? Where are your parents?"

Kagome looked at the woman. She had brown hair and golden eyes. "Me? I'm Kagome," replied Kagome brightly with a more serious look. Well Kagome looked more confused than serious. "Parents? I can't remember... That must mean I don't have any."

The pink hair girl's parents looked at each other before while crying. "Mama! That is so sad!"

"Papa is right! What shall we do?"

They both got the same thought as they looked into each other's eyes before looking at their daughter before looking at Kagome.

Mama bent down so she was at the children's height. "How would you like us to be your parents. And Amu here can be your sister."

"Parents? Sister?" Kagome smiled. "I would love that!" She rushed and gave the three a big hug.

That was the day Kagome was adopted into the Hinamori family.

From behind a tree in the park a chibi Midoriko watched. "Good luck Kagome. Be happy." An egg appeared before the floating chibi Midoriko. It was all white except a small yellow golden heart on it with two outline wings in the same color. It cracked in half and Midoriko went inside of it. The egg then went floating off to who knows where.

Over the years Kagome and Amu grew very close together. They could always be themselves around each other. Not only were they sisters, they were best friends. They had received a younger sister as well. Her name was Ami. They had recently moved and the two now attend a school called Seiyo Academy.

The two Hinamori sisters were walking to school when three people came across their path. They were all males. Two of them were evidently older than the third. Not only that, but they were bullying him. The kid looked scared.

"You're in my way," said Amu in a bored tone. She held her school bad over her shoulder. She wore her uniform improperly.

Kagome stood right by her. "Bullying someone half your size only proves how weak you are," announced Kagome.

The three took a better look at the two sisters. The bullies were in shock as the small boy was in awe.

"It can't be," one bully said scared.

The kid a few years younger than the girls had stars in his eyes as he happily announced, "It is! It's You! The Hinamori sisters! 'Cool and Spicy' Amu Hinamori."

The quieter bully said, "I heard she defeated the entire soccer team and made the principal fall down to his knees."

The child exclaimed, "And 'Mature and Cheerful' Kagome Hinamori"

"I heard she lectured every teacher in the school, and they respect her," commented the same bully as before.

This time the other one commented as well. "Well I heard she won a beauty contest, and with the money she won, she bought a police force that is ready to battle at any moment." The two looked at each other before running off wanting to save themselves.

"Who actually starts these rumors," mumbled Amu. She started in disbelief before looking towards her sister.

Kagome shrugged. "I haven't a clue, but they are becoming more and more ridiculous." Kagome sighed. People could be really immature and have wild imaginations. The boy then asked for their autographs. Amu shrugged him off and began to walk away without Kagome. Kagome stayed behind and quickly signed it for him. She didn't know why he wanted an autograph, but she gave him one. Kagome smiled and wave before running off to catch up to her sister.

The fifth year star class was the classroom the Hinamori sisters were in. Kagome sat in front of Amu. She was smiling brightly as ever.

Like her sister she wasn't exactly true to herself. Kagome usually smiles so that others do too, sure. However, it is also a mask to hide her emotions. Kagome has a hard time showing her true emotions because she doesn't want anyone to concern themselves over her. She was also much more mature than others her age. This got her the 'Mature and Cheerful' title. Sometimes she wishes she could just do what she wants and say what's truly on her mind.

That night during dinner the Hinamori family was watching television.

"Behind your back is a spirit!" Amu and Ami dropped their food and looked frightened at the TV.

Kagome continued to eat. 'Logically, there are no such things as spirits.' At the back of her mind she wanted to add, 'But it would be so cool if they did.'

"No matter who you are, a guardian angel is protecting you." Kagome froze in spot. 'Always protecting me? Why does that sound familiar?'

"Ridiculous. Those people are all fakes." Amu thought of the show as a joke. Her mother had to disagree though. Apparently they did an article on her.

Ami cried as she held tightly onto Amu. "It's a monster!"

Amu was being no help to her younger sibling. Kagome decided to help her. "It's okay Ami. She's on TV. She can't do anything to you." Ami calmed down.

"A guardian angel is your companion. Always behind you, watching and protecting your true self." Kagome and Amu looked towards the TV. They thought together, 'My true self?' "Those who ridicule them will die... I am speaking to you!"

Amu stood up from the dinner table without finishing eating. "This is ridiculous. I am going to my room."

"Ah," Kagome stood up as well. "Wait up Amu! I'll come as well." The two sisters shared a room. They actually insisted on it. That was how close they are.

Kagome made it up the stairs and closed the door behind her. Kagome sat on her sister's bed beside her.

Kagome placed a hand on her leg and looked at her with a genuine smile. "It's alright. Somehow... Someway things will get better. For the both of us." However, she didn't sound very reassuring. Kagome grabbed Amu's hand a pulled her outside to their deck to look out at the stars.

"There isn't such thing as a guardian angel. Is there," questioned the pinkette.

Kagome closed her eyes and smiled enjoying the fresh air. "Who knows? Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. I think I want to take the chance." Amu nodded. They both clasped their hands together wishing to be able to show their true selves.

They went back inside their room and drifted to sleep after changing into pajamas.

The next morning Amu woke up with three colourful eggs on her bed. "I guess I really did wish it." She stomped over to Kagome's bed where Kagome was just waking up. "If this was your idea of a joke-"

Kagome interrupted her sister. She was just waking up and couldn't comprehend what she was talking about. "Slow down Amu. What are you talking about?"

"Did you put eggs in my bed?" Her hands were on her hips demanding an answer.

"Of course not-" Kagome then felt something. She looked at her bed and there laid three eggs as well.

The first egg was orange and red, orange at the top and red at the bottom. The colors slowly faded into each other. On the front of the egg was a blood red rose painted on it as well.

The second egg was purple with a small section of the top and bottom painted black. Over top of the purple were four white skulls.

Finally the third egg was royal blue with several dark purple stars. The stars were all different sizes.

"EGGS!" It was Kagome's turn to yell. They looked at each other. Both were very confused. Both touched their own eggs. They were warm. "We will have to take them to school."

"What?"

"We can't leave them here. They are warm which means they will hatch soon."

"I guess you're right." The Hinamori sisters got dress and ready for school before putting their eggs into their school bags. They went downstairs for breakfast only to find something unsettling for breakfast: eggs. They looked at each other. They really weren't in the mood.

Quickly excusing themselves, they left for school.

AN: Hey everyone, I know it's been nearly a year since I've updated anything, but I just adopted this from Dark Void Princess 21. I couldn't bear the idea of seeing a person with bad writing adopt the story so I took it into my own hands.

I'll try to update each story at least once by the end of the school year.
