Sorry to my NP1 and ASL fans if you're reading this that my only update has been about how I can't update or I haven't updated at all. For those of you that read NP1, this is not, I repeat NOT, the story I was talking about in the second paragraph. I was writing this one before the idea came into my head. This story isn't prewritten. Well, a little as I've already started and almost finished chapter 2. I was planning to not post this until it was done, but I just got back from a ROCKIN' Evanescence concert, I'm all psyched (though we left an hour early and missed a lot of good songs, including my fave), I got an Evanescence hoodie and arm warmers, which are awesome, and I wanted to share the psychedness!
.
I think that this will be a Kagome/Momiji pairing. I've never seen one, and I'd kind of like to. There probably won't be any romanticness until the end-ish area, though, for obvious reasons… (Well, maybe a little bit…) So, yeah, Enjoy!
.
Disclaimer: It should be painfully obvious that I own nothing as I'm posting this on fanfiction. net. So, I own nothing, unless I decide to add my three OCs in. this will more than likely not happen as I'm still trying to straighten out there personalities. Anyway… That's the end of this ramblely disclaimer!

Chapter 1
.
A girl, a little short for her age, sighed as she packed the last memento from her feudal travels, a framed photo of her and all her friends together, not trying to kill each other. She had long, blue-black hair which, when left down, was down to her knees. Her hair wasn't down, however, but held in a very tight braid. The braid was so tight, her hair was only down to her waist. Her sparkling blue eyes that were normally a sapphire color were darkened to a stormy gray with her grief. She was wearing a black tank top, ripped about an inch to come to just below her bellybutton, and black jeans, ripped at the knees. She was also wearing and Evanescence hoodie and arm warmers (heheh… I said they were awesome…). She preferred American music over Japanese, even if she didn't fully understand words or meanings from having never understood her English class completely, and her favorite band was Evanescence. Her shoes, comfortable tennis shoes, were also black, but with sapphire swirls. She had taken quite a liking to black about a week ago.
The girl adjusted the lock on her signature yellow backpack before slinging it over her shoulder. She looked at her now empty room and sighed. There were so many memories that took place not only in the room, but on the property. She couldn't help but feel sad that she was leaving, but she knew it was for the best. Besides, she was a minor and couldn't legally stay here. The girl sighed one more time before walking out the door, closing it for the last time, and heading down the steps, tears threatening to fall.
She steeled her resolve when she saw a short, elderly man standing at the door leading outside. He worried about her, she knew. She knew that he'd still worry even if she was the richest person in the world and never needed to worry about anything, but that didn't mean that she wanted him worrying. She didn't want to cause him extra worry, so she was going to live with him instead of any of her other relatives.
"Are you alright to leave, Kagome?" the man asked.
"Yeah Grandpa. I've said my goodbyes to the house," the girl, Kagome, reassured the old man, her grandpa.
He smiled. He could see the tears she was trying to hide. Getting so attached to inanimate objects, like a house, that when they left them forever they had to have teary goodbyes ran in the family. While Kagome wasn't as bad off as some in her family, she was feeling grief that she had to go. "You sure you want to live with me?" he asked. "You know you're going to have to live with them."
He was referring to the uncle, aunt, and cousin that seemed to hold an unexplainable hatred towards her and the other cousin that would be living with them. The other cousin was the only thing, besides her grandpa, that Kagome had to look forward to at this new house. You see, Kagome had witnessed all her feudal friends, save Inuyasha, die during the battle with Naraku. At the end, Inuyasha had deliberately taken a hit from him to get close enough to stab him in the heart with his Tetsusaiga.
It had worked, but Inuyasha died from the poisoning. His demon blood hadn't worked fast enough to get it all out. Kagome, crying, had been sent through time and space back to her own dimension. When she had stepped into the house not even five minutes later, she had seen a shadowed figure slash through her other grandpa, the one that she lived with, her mom, and her little brother Souta with what seemed like a sword. They were all unconscious, so it was practically painless, which Kagome was thankful for, but she had just lost her feudal family, so witnessing the murder of her modern family wasn't on her top 10 things to do then. This had happened about a week ago. It was why she had taken a liking to black.
"I know Grandpa," Kagome said, holding the door open for him. "But Ru will be there. You and her will make it bearable."
"Yes… Kyoko always did have a way to make things better, much like you Kagome!" he said, Kagome helping him down the shrine stairs.
"Tohru, Gramps, Tohru!" Kagome said, laughing.
"Ah, right! Tohru! How do I always mix them up?" he asked, laughing with her.
"Gramps, where has Ru been staying while your house was being renovated?" Kagome asked when they were halfway to the station.
"Hm… I believe she's been staying with these new friends of hers… I can't seem to remember their names…"
"I feel like she'll want to stay there," Kagome said, looking down sadly. She didn't think she could take living there without Tohru. It's not that she wanted her cousin to suffer the wrath of her Aunt's family, but she needed support that her Grandpa couldn't give.
He looked at her with sad eyes. "You know, if they let you, you could live with her friends with her…"
"But, Gramps, I don't want to leave you alone!" Kagome said. They had made it to the train station somewhere in the conversation and were now on the train and about twenty minutes away from their stop.
"I'll be fine, Kagome," he assured her. "I can't allow my two favorite granddaughters to live somewhere where they're not happy, alright? If her friends come to ask her to come back, because you know she won't go back on her own, then ask if you can go with them, alright?"
Kagome smiled brightly at her Grandpa. "Thanks, Gramps… You're awesome."
The rest of the trip was silent, but enjoyable. When they got to the newly renovated house, it was still pretty early. Kagome said a simple hello to the other three in the house before her grandpa showed her the room she'd share with her two cousins. There was no room for one of the three to have their own room. Kagome didn't bother to unpack her yellow pack, only set it in a corner. Then, she went downstairs to get a sandwich since she'd skipped breakfast.
When she sat down at the table, her peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the plate in front of her, she heard the door open. Paying it no mind, she lifted the sandwich up to her mouth. As she was about to take a bite, Tohru walked into the doorway. Kagome, cursing her luck, set her sandwich down with a sigh and stood up. Kagome smiled at Tohru. "Ru!" she called.
"Ka?" she asked, surprised to see her childhood friend and favorite cousin. She hadn't expected visitors so soon after the renovations. "What are you doing here?"
Kagome smiled sadly. "Mama, Souta, and Grandpa Higurashi were killed. Grandpa Honda took me in."
Tohru smiled. It may be sad about her family, but, on the bright side, Kagome was going to be living with her.
.
Later, Tohru was helping Kagome with the registration for Tohru's school. They were getting along like old friends, but they both knew the other was feeling their own sadness. Though they both wanted to know what was wrong with the other, they knew that now wasn't the time, so they just continued with the registration.
.
The next morning, Kagome woke up early. She decided to let Tohru sleep for however long. If she slept too late, she'd wake her. She dressed in a copy of the outfit she wore yesterday, minus the hoodie, and put her hair back in the braid. Kagome walked downstairs and made herself some breakfast. If she didn't make it while her cousin was still asleep, she'd probably take it, thinking it was for her, having grown up in a spoiled life.
It was about an hour after Kagome had finished her eggs and put her dishes in the dishwasher when her aunt and uncle came down. They never talked unless it was them threatening her for one reason or another, and Kagome was just fine with that. Well, she would be, if it weren't for the fact that they threatened her a lot.
After another hour, the two were talking about something or other when her grandpa came down. They asked him to bring Tohru down. Kagome walked out of the room before she came down. They said hello when they passed each other when Kagome walked by the staircase as it was on the way to the front door. She needed some air. When Kagome opened the door, there were two boys around her and Tohru's age standing there, one with his fist raised, appearing about to knock.
The one who was going to knock had short-ish gray hair and purple eyes. He was wearing a white shirt and greenish-black pants. He had a surprised expression from her opening the door. The other was wearing a blue jacket with a black shirt underneath and beige cargo pants. He had orange hair and reddish-orange eyes. He was looking away, much like Inuyasha would when he denied something he knew was true. Kagome tilted her head subconsciously.
"Are you two here for Ru?" Kagome asked before either could say anything.
"Ru?" the first asked. He seemed polite.
"Who the hell is Ru?!" the second asked. He seemed to have a temper like Inuyasha. Kagome couldn't tell if that was good or bad. "Did we get the wrong house?!"
Kagome's eyes widened. "Oh, sorry!" she said. "I meant Tohru! Me and Tohru haven't talked since we were so little we could barely pronounce our own names, let alone each other's, so we called each other by a syllable of our names. It's a habit now. So, are you here for Tohru?"
"Ah, yes. We're here to see Honda-san," the first boy said.
"Care to tell me what your names are, first?" she asked, smirking. "I'd like to know who I'm letting my 'baby' cousin associate with." Tohru was younger than Kagome, but only by a couple weeks.
"Cousin?!" the one with Inuyasha's personality yelled.
"I'm Yuki Sohma, and this is my cousin Kyo Sohma," the first, Yuki, said calmly, seemingly ignoring the second, Kyo. "And Honda-san has been living with us for a few months now. We'd like to ask her if she'd like to move back in."
Kagome smiled, laughing slightly. "Man, if Gramps weren't busy right now, I'd so tell him we were right!"
Kyo sighed. "I don't even want to know…"
"I'm Kagome Higurashi, by the way. Fair warning. If Grandpa says 'Kyoko' odds are he means Tohru. Anyway, come right on in," Kagome said, starting to move away from the door. When she turned around, though, she noticed that her grandpa had slapped her uncle, making Kagome laugh some more. "Just… try not to interrupt this scene right now! I've wanted someone to do that for a while!"
Kagome decided to just lean against the wall by the door. Soon, the conversation between Tohru and their grandpa was somehow moved into the hallway leading to the door. Kagome wasn't really listening. She decided to when Tohru started crying.
"I want to… stay in…" she heard Tohru saying. She knew that she was only saying half the words aloud. She was saying most of the stuff in her head. "Sohma-san, Kyo… and Shigure's house… That's what I really want… Is it…?"
"Then, just come back!" Yuki said, seemingly appearing at her side. Everyone was startled except their grandpa for one reason or another.
"Let's go!" Kyo said, grabbing Tohru by her head from behind. He started dragging her out of the house. When they passed, Kagome sat down. She wasn't going to ask. She had decided when she saw Tohru again that she wouldn't ask.
"Is Honda-san's luggage upstairs?" Yuki asked her uncle.
"I'll show you," Kagome suggested so he wouldn't confuse Tohru's for hers. When she reached the top of the steps, she had to wait a few minutes before Yuki came up after her. She knew her grandpa was trying to talk to Yuki for a second, she could see it, but she didn't know what they were talking about.
.
Yuki felt Tohru's grandfather grab his wrist before he could step up the stairs. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked kindly as Yuki turned towards him.
"Alright," Yuki said. He was in no rush, but he didn't want to make Kagome wait.
"I'd like to ask if you could take Kagome with you," the man said. Before Yuki could say anything, he continued. "I know this is a lot to ask right out of the blue, but I don't think she could survive a day here without Kyoko. She needs the support from her that only her other cousin can and won't give. She lost everything except me and Kyoko not even a week ago, and she needs the support Kyoko can give and Kagome would never ask for herself."
Yuki's eyes softened minutely. He thought about it for a second. "Alright," he said. "If she wants to, I'll see if she can."
The man smiled at him. "Thank you."
.
When Yuki finally got up the stairs, he could tell that she hadn't heard the conversation.
"This way," she said, starting down the hallway.
Yuki decided to ask something. "Why are you living with your grandfather?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, the man and woman downstairs aren't your parents."
Kagome's expression turned sad. "You hear on the news about the murder on Sunset Shrine?" Yuki nodded. Everyone besides the teenage daughter had been killed as she had been out at the time. "That was where my family lived. They were killed, and I came back just in time to see it happen."
"If Tohru's your cousin, wouldn't that have made your family her family?" Yuki asked. Kagome nodded. "So, why didn't Tohru say anything?"
"She probably doesn't remember that's where we lived. If you remember, I haven't seen her since we were little," Kagome explained. Coming to the end of the hall, Kagome opened a door and said, "This is our room."
When the two walking in, Yuki asked, "Which stuff is Honda-san's?"
"The yellow bag in the corner's mine, the bag on that bed's Tohru's, and our other cousin already unpacked."
Yuki grabbed Tohru's bag before, surprisingly, picking up Kagome's. He almost fell over, not expecting the weight, before adjusting himself.
Kagome blinked. "Why'd you grab my bag?" she asked.
"Oh. It appears I forgot to ask!" Yuki said. "Higurashi-san, would you like to come live with us?"
Kagome, surprised, said, "On one condition." He nodded for her to continue. "You call me Kagome."
"I'm fine with this, Kagome-san," he said.
"Good. Now hand me my bag. I'm sure you're already having a little trouble with it!" Kagome said in amusement. Embarrassed, he handed it to her.
.
When Kagome and Yuki caught up to Kyo and Tohru, the latter two looked surprised. "What are you doing here, Ka?" Tohru asked.
"I invited her," Yuki said calmly.
"Why'd ya do that?!" Kyo yelled.
Kagome inched closer to Tohru. "Are they always like this?"
"Y-yes…" Tohru said.
They remind me of Inuyasha and Koga with the name calling thing… Kagome noted sadly. Koga was one of those that died in the fight with Naraku.
"W-we should probably get going…" Tohru suggested, as the sun was setting.
.
They had to go through a forest to get to the house. Tohru had explain what had happened that she was living with the Sohma's now and that Shigure was her guardian since it wasn't her grandpa. Kagome would've been upset that Tohru hadn't even thought to look them up, but she remembered that if she were there, she'd probably be dead along with her family. When they opened the door to the house, they were greeted by a man, about 26, with longish black hair and chestnut eyes. He was wearing a traditional Japanese men's kimono. He didn't seem to notice Kagome, who was in the back of the group.
"Congrats," he said. "You have successfully taken back the princess!" the man said. Kagome could just tell this guy was a pervert, even if he most likely wasn't one as big as Miroku.
"You! Always saying something unimportant!" Kyo said angrily.
"It should be 'rescued'," Yuki pointed out
"If you have any problems from now on, I'll deal with them!" the man told Tohru.
"No, no, I've already troubled you enough!" Tohru said immediately afterwards.
"No problem, as long as we can keep living like we did before!" he said. "Those two forcefully took the address away. Then they ran out to find you. This hard work finally paid off." Yuki was walking past him when he continued. "This was the first time I've seen Yuki that excited!" Kagome, who was just standing there, felt like they'd forgotten about her.
"Huh, when did I become excited?" Yuki asked, turning around with a blush on his face.
"You had the facial expression that you didn't want to let go of her!" Kyo accused.
"Wasn't that you, huh?" Yuki asked, slapping Kyo.
While the two were fighting, Tohru noticed Kagome just standing there. "Oh, Shigure-san, we wanted to ask if my cousin could live with us too," Tohru said.
The man, Shigure, seemed to contemplate this, still not noticing Kagome. "I don't see why not," he said. "Where is your cousin?"
Tohru walked over to Kagome. "Shigure-san, this is my cousin Kagome Higurashi. Kagome, this is Shigure Sohma, my guardian."
"Nice to meet you, Shigure-san," Kagome said, holding out her hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Kagome-chan!" he said, seemingly not noticing her hand. She brought her hand down. "I hope you don't mind sharing a room with Tohru, though. We don't have another room."
"I don't mind if Tohru doesn't," Kagome said with a smile. "I just hope I'm not too much trouble."
"I'm sure you won't be," Shigure assured her. "Tohru, since you're going up there anyway, would you mind showing Kagome to your room?"
"Oh, right!" Tohru said.
.
It was the next day that Kagome would hand in her newly revised paperwork, as Shigure would now also be her guardian, and start school with Tohru. Kagome had gotten up just as the sun was beginning to rise. She dressed in the uniform she had gotten when she had went to pick up the paperwork. It was an ocean blue seifuku. There were twin navy blue stripes on the collar. She was wearing a tank top version of the undershirt and she'd changed her skirt length from an almost indecent length to her knees. There were slits up the legs to an inappropriate length, but she wore skin tight black biker shorts that reached midthigh underneath. She had cut the long sleeves so it was a tee shirt. She was also wearing her Evanescence arm warmers. She then braided her hair again.
After dressing, Kagome went downstairs and made herself some breakfast. She would've made some for the rest, but she didn't know when they would wake up and she preferred to eat early since her feudal adventures. It was a couple hours after she ate breakfast that Tohru came down.
"Hey Tohru," Kagome said, surprising her.
"Ah! Kagome! I didn't know you'd be up this early!" Tohru said.
"I wake up around the time the sun rises. I already had breakfast, if that's what you're wondering. I would've made some for the others, but I didn't know when they'd be up."
"Y-you don't have to worry about helping out," Tohru told her. "I have it all under control."
"Oh no, Ru, I'm helping out. I want to earn my keep. If you do anything specific about anything, I'd like for you to tell me so I don't mess with your 'system'."
"A-alright," Tohru said. She knew that Kagome had inherited the famous 'Higurashi stubbornness'. You could never sway a Higurashi from their decisions. Tohru, on the other hand, wasn't a Higurashi. Her dad and Kagome's mom had been siblings.
"When do you usually start breakfast?"
"In a few minutes, usually."
.
Kagome left to get to the school about an hour later, which was about half an hour before Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo left. She needed to get to school early so she would have time to get her schedule and find where her class was so she wouldn't have to worry much later. She didn't get in trouble for changing her uniform as it apparently happens a lot, just not as much as Kagome changed hers. She was in class D-1, according to her schedule. After about ten minutes of waiting for that, and another ten minutes of talking about one thing or another from her old school, and he left her to find her way to her classroom on her own, not even giving her a map of the school.
Kagome assumed that it was on the first floor, which narrowed the possibilities down greatly. After about five minutes of wandering, she finally found it. Walking into the room, seeing as class wasn't in session yet, she noticed that there were very few kids there. She noticed the two were leaning against the counter that separated them from the windows were watching her. Suddenly, the taller of the two, a blonde with hair going down to midback, her bangs covering her right eye, and eyes that were a steely blue with a skirt that went to her ankles, stood from her leaning position and started walking over to her, the other following behind. This one was just barely taller than Kagome. Her green-black hair, which went to about midback, was held in a braid going over her right shoulder. Her skirt was the same length as Kagome's, minus the slits up the sides, and her nails were painted black. She had a blank expression and there was something in her aura that felt familiar. Kagome had minor training in her miko powers. She could only feel auras if they're very strong or if someone purposely projects it to her.
"Hey," the blonde said, now only a few feet away. "You new here?"
"Ah, yes. I'm Kagome Higurashi. Nice to meet you two," Kagome said.
"Arisa Uotani, and this is Saki Hanajima, but we're usually just called Uo and Hana," the blonde, Uo, said.
"Nice to meet you, Higurashi," Hana said. "Your wave are very soothing…"
Kagome new when she said that exactly why her aura was familiar. "Your aura seems very… shocking…" Kagome said, smirking.
Hana smiled slightly while Uo looked at her weird. "Someone wanna tell me what's going on?"
"She's a miko," Hana said, turning to Uo.
"Miko? Those shrine priestesses with super powers?"
"You can call it that if you like. I guess that's what it seems like to normal people," Kagome said.
"You know, Uo-chan, I could be considered a low level miko," Hana told her.
"Huh?"
"Low level miko, because they'll never be able to have powerful purification powers, somehow know how to manipulate electricity, which comes in waves," Kagome explained. "If trained correctly, they can be just as powerful as a high level miko. It can be a little confusing."
"So you're one of these high level miko?" Uo asked.
"Well, if I were trained correctly, I would be, but I wasn't. I can be considered both a low level and a high level miko depending on how you look at it."
"Well, that's pretty cool," Uo said, trying to sort through what was said so she could understand it. "I'm sure Tohru would love to meet a real miko. Or know that you're one," she said, directing that at Hana.
"You guys know Ru?" Kagome asked.
"Ru?" Hana asked, tilting her head slightly.
"Ah! Tohru! Sorry, I'm so used to calling her that I don't even notice! So, how do you guys know Tohru?" Kagome explained.
"We've been her friends since middle school," Uo said. "What about you?"
"I'm her older cousin. Glad to meet my favorite cousin's friends!" Kagome said, smiling again. "Is Tohru in this class?"
"Yes, she is," Hana said. "And she's right there." She pointed towards the door. Turning around, she noticed Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki were walking in.
"Hey Tohru!" Kagome called.
Tohru turned in their direction. Seeing Kagome, her face brightened. "Kagome! You're in my class!" she said, walking over.
"Did you know that Hana-chan was a miko?" Uo asked randomly.
"Hana-chan's a miko? But I thought they dealt with purification and stuff like that," Tohru said, confused.
"Here we go again," Kagome said, exasperated. Hana nodded next to her.
.
It had been about two months since Kagome's first day at another school and her and Tohru moved into Shigure's house. It was after school, and her and Tohru were having a picnic with Uo and Hana.
"What?!" Uo yelled. Tohru had just told them that she was living with the Sohma's and about how she was living in a tent before that. "You used to live in a tent? And now you've moved to the Prince's castle?! Really?!"
"You overreact to stuff," Kagome noted before biting into a chip from the bag Hana had so graciously provided. Well, Hana had brought a bag for Kagome when she found out that Kagome liked to snack at the most random times too, but never brought something to snack on. Hana herself had a bag too.
"Yes… Sorry for not telling you…" Tohru said. "Many things happened, but it's all solved now. They're all good people, please don't worry about me!"
"That's really… some shocking news," Hana said before biting into a chip from her own bag. "If Yuki Sohma's fans find out, won't there be trouble?"
"Hmm, no wonder… For some time, I've felt like you, the Prince, and the orange haired guy were very close. So that's why!" Uo said.
"Well, is it okay if we come and visit you?" Hana asked, crinkling her empty chip bag.
"Great idea Hanajima! Let's go now!" Uo said.
"Wait…" Hana said, stopping Uo. "If we just show up, there won't be any tea prepared!"
"Oh, that's right. We'll make sure it's okay with them." Uo got up, as did Hana. "We'll just have to wait for the weekend then! Then we'll go to your place and stay the night, okay?"
"Yes…" Tohru agreed before they began to walk away. The weekend was in three days, so Tohru had time to ask.
.
It was two days later. They were going to clear out Shigure's library to make room for Kyo to have a room tomorrow. Unknown to Kagome and Tohru, Kyo didn't have a room yet. Today, though, Kagome was helping make lunch with Tohru. They were making steak on Kagome's request. She really loved steak. Anyway, Tohru was about to go through the door into the dining room where Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure were waiting when the door opened and someone crashed into her.
Kagome, who was making sure that the steak was done correctly, turned around, sliding into a fighting position, when she heard a loud 'pop'. She saw a large plume of orange smoke by the door. When the smoke cleared, she saw Tohru sitting there, looking panicky, and Yuki and Shigure in the doorway, looking shocked. Right next to Tohru was Kyo's clothes with a squirming lump in it. Suddenly, part of the lump popped its head out, showing that it was a cat.
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Someone wanna tell me why Kyo's a cat?" she asked, amusement clear in her voice.
"K-Kagome, did you b-bump your head or s-something?" Tohru asked, trying to change the subject. The cat had run off when Tohru started talking.
"Are you trying to tell me Kyo's not a cat right now? And that he just took off all his clothes and left them there for no reason?" Kagome asked. Yuki and Shigure would normally be helping out right now, but they were too shocked from the fact that Kagome didn't even seem slightly surprised. Tohru had freaked out when she saw that Kyo was a kitty.
"Those… aren't… his?" Tohru asked more than said. She never was very good at coming up with excuses.
"Tohru, that's not going to work, you're a horrible liar. Now, someone's gonna tell me what exactly is going on, or give me an excuse that I'll believe. After the steaks done, though. I want my steak," Kagome said before turning back to her cooking, ignoring the surroundings. Soon enough, the steak was done and Kagome gave everyone theirs. Kagome took a bite of her steak. "Now," she said after swallowing. "Will someone tell me what happened back there?"
"You either suffer from hallucinations, or you bumped your head and started imagining things," Yuki said a little too quickly.
"Neither. Try again," Kagome said before taking another bite of steak. "And if you're going to lie, make it believable to me."
"I…" Tohru started, looking away. "I say we just tell her. The only time I've ever seen anyone trick her was when she was eating oden, and that's just because all she can think about at the moment is oden…"
"Can't believe you remembered the oden thing…" Kagome muttered, mouth full.
"Alright…" Shigure sighed. "For several hundred years, there's been a curse in the Sohma family. Thirteen people are cursed to change into the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, plus the cat. When one of those thirteen people hugs a member of the opposite sex or we get too weak or stressed, we transform into that animal. We don't have any special powers or anything, except for the fact that we can talk to our animals. We change back after a while, but when that happens, we're naked."
"I believe it," Kagome said, eating her last bite of steak.
"This you believe?" Kyo asked. "How does that happen? Are you crazy or something?"
"No, I've just seen weirder. It has nothing to do with my mental condition. Why, you telling me that's a lie?" Kagome said, smirking. She knew that it wasn't a lie. Someone's aura spikes slightly when they lie, but it's enough for Kagome to detect it. Kyo didn't answer.
"Do you want to try and guess our animals?" Shigure asked, seeing as everyone was finished.
"Considering the fact that I saw Kyo as a cat, I'm gonna go ahead and say he's the cat," Kagome said, causing everyone to sweat drop. "Kyo always calls Yuki a rat, so I'd say he's the rat. And Yuki and Kyo always tell you to 'stop being a perverted old dog' so I'd say you're the dog."
"Well, aren't you smart," Shigure said.

Hope you like this! If not, oh well! If, for whatever reason, you read this but not the top, I'll state it again. This is not the Kagome/Haru fic I promised in the second paragraph of NP1, but a Kagome/Momiji fic!
Anyway, review please! They give me motivation and make me happy!
