Chapter One
It is said that at the Higurashi shrine, there are ghosts that linger there. And if you stand in the dark, on a new moon, at the three in the morning, you will hear the happy laugh of a little girl, the shrill reprimand of a little, green care taker...
...and then a glorious demon will appear before you. And at that moment he will either sweep you off your feet...or strike you dead.
"Come one gramps. That's a bunch of bull." Kagome Higurashi said after the last bunch of tourists exited the shrine. "I've heard a lot of stories around her but that one takes the cake."
Her grandfather got off the floor with a 'oomph' and turned a glare to his unbelieving granddaughter.
"All of my stories are true!! Why would I lie?" he picked up his things and bustled towards the house.
Kagome quickly followed after him, evenly matching his pace. "To draw in tourists because that's the only thing that pays the bills." She looked down at him as she said this, being the taller of the two.
"You disappoint your old grandfather. It's not like you'd know anyway. You've never been out of the house at such a time!"
"You'd never let me out." she protested.
"For two good reasons." he countered. "One, your only fifteen. Fifteen-year-olds have no reason being out at such an ungodly hour...and two, he could KILL you!!" his pace quickened as he hastened up the steps.
"Okay." Kagome said, starting to get out of breath. "So what's his name?"
Her grandfather stopped in the doorway of the house. "I don't know...haven't met him." and with that he disappeared into the house and shut the door on Kagome.
"What the...?" she twisted the door knob and ran into the hallway. "You're a lying, cheating, dirty, old man!!" she yelled.
"I try." came the faint reply from upstairs.
Kagome growled as she picked up the phone and quickly dialed Eri's number.
"We'll figure this out once and for all." she mumbled as the phone rang in her ear.
"Hello?" Eri answered on the other end.
"Hey." Kagome started. "Call the girls. We're spending the night at my house tonight."
She'd finally uncover the truth of at least one rumor that floated around her house. Grandfather was such a pain sometimes. That much she knew.
But what Kagome didn't know was that this one story was true...especially for her.
Okay so first chapter...not so long. But hopefully it caught some people's attention and some of you are going to be waiting on the next chapter which is going to be oh so exciting. So don't sign me off just yet.
