A Sister's Love

Chapter 1: Home Coming News

The first golden rays of sunlight peek through the curtains of a second floor bedroom window. They slowly make their way across the room, inching closer and closer to the sleeping form of Kagome Higurashi. As the warm comforting rays of light touches her angel like face, her bluish black hair shinning with it's brilliance, she starts to awaken. Rolling over to look at the clock, reading the numbers she groans, "Six in the morning? Oh come on, can't a girl sleep in, even on her birthday?" Realization hits her as her minds starts to work, ridding itself from it's sleepy haze, 'it is my birthday, that means I am seventeen , and I get presents and cake!' "Okay I'm up!" she says to herself. Jumping out of her bed she excitedly runs down the stairs, not bothering to change out of her pajama's with little puppy faces on the pants part and a larger puppy face on the chest of her matching tank top. "Grandpa, Souta, Mom do you remember what today is?" she asks, her voice thick with anticipation as she finds her family already in the kitchen.

"Oh!" responds her mother, "let me think." she taps her forehead and bites on her lower lip appearing to be ponder hard on the cause of her daughter's obvious excitement. Kagome's mother, still in deep thought, strolls over to the refrigerator, opens the door, and pulls out a large chocolate cake covered in vanilla icing, with baby blue icing spelling out the words "Happy Birthday Kagome!" in large fancy lettering on the top of it all. "Oh this darn cake is in my way!" states her mother with a sly smile spreading quite rapidly across her face.

Souta runs toward his sister to give her a hug while screaming the birthday song at the top of his lungs with his mother joining in with more enthusiasm than the child.

While of this is happening, however, Kagome's grandfather had time to sneak into the living room unnoticed to gather up all of his grand daughter's gifts, stacked on top of each other, each as brightly colored as the last one. He enters the kitchen just as his daughter and Sota finish their singing to Kagome, and sets the large pile of presents on the kitchen table in front of Kagome. Leaning over he gives his grand daughter a kiss on her forehead, "Here you are my dear Kagome. I hope you have a wonderful birthday."

Kagome, her eyes seeming to shine like the night sky, thanks her grandfather and reaches for the largest and most colorfully wrapped present in the pile. Just as she slips her finger under the wrapped edge to peel off the tape her mother grabs her hand. "Wait Kagome!" she yells.

Kagome, with her fingers absolutely twitching to open her birthday gifts, looks at her mother confused and asks, "But Mom why do I have to wait? Hurry up and go get the camera if that is what you want."

"No. It's just that your sister is coming home today and I think that you should wait for her."

"Feh, but Mom, we never get along. When is she going to get here?" asks Kagome with all o the earlier excitement quickly leaving her voice.

Glancing at the clock Kagome's mother answers her with a voice of someone who is not to be crossed. "Kayoko's plane should be landing in about an hour. You can wait at least that long before you have to tear into your presents. So go upstairs and get ready to go with me to pick her up and for school, because we will be leaving for the airport in twenty-five minutes."

"Feh, okay. I will go get ready and then I will go pick her up from the airport so that you don't have to. Thank God that I go up early enough to pick her up, drop Souta off, come back here to open presents, and leave her here." says Kagome sarcastically while stomping up the stairs to get showered off and dressed.

"Oh Kagome you can pick Souta up when you come back to open up your presents and by the way you are also taking Kayoko to school with you this morning. I have already arranged it with principle Kaede." states her mother who is now prepared for an explosion of anger from her daughter.

"WHAT! SHE HAS TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH ME TODAY! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!" Kagome yells down at her mother. Through all of this she has run up the stairs and slammed and locked the bathroom door.

Turning the hot water to full blast, Kagome steeps into the thick, downfall spray of the showerhead thinking about what life was like with her twin sister, Kayoko, before she got her precious scholarship to an American school for young women who want to learn how to act. Her sister had been perfect. Everyone liked Kayoko better than Kagome. Well that is how Kagome pictured it at least. Sure, despite being twins, there were many tiny, yet significant differences in the two. Kayoko was slightly prettier, skinnier, and smarter than her, but Kagome had a better attitude than her sister. At times Kayoko thought that everyone looked up to her and that she was the most important person in their entire school. Which couldn't be the farthest thing from the truth.

Kayoko was also the best actress in school. She always got the lead role in every play that she had ever auditioned for, which is the reason that she got her scholarship to study acting in America. On the night of their schools biggest performance ever, American scouts came to watch "the young actress" they had heard so much about, and, of course the American scouts loved her performance and gave her many different scholarships for many different schools that allowed foreign actresses to attend.

Kagome was jealous of her sister, there was no hiding that, and hurt because she was ignored for most of her childhood, but that everything had seemed to have been put on pause when the item of her jealous ways, departed for the United States of America. Now with Kayoko returning to Tokyo for a visit it would be just like old time again.

This was all that Kagome could think about as she soaked in the tub and while she dressed for the long day ahead of her. How now her sister was the most vial thing that walked the earth, but when they were young they were the best of friends. They did everything together. No on could tell them apart if it wasn't for Kayoko's bright blue eyes, and rosy red lips. Kagome has deep brown eyes and pale pink lips. They also knew what the other was thinking and they could speak to each other telepathically.

As soon as Kagome was fully dressed and made up she ran down the stairs, grabbed the keys to her cherry red camero convertible, (A/N: I know Kagome probably wouldn't drive this but it is my dream car so I figure I can put it in the story with her) and yelled to her mother, "Be back in an hour at the latest. I'm going to pick up Kayoko. See yah soon."

Climbing into her car she starts the engine, cranks up the volume to her music, and drives off squealing her tires.

"Excuse me miss," says they young American stewardess, gently shaking the sleeping Kayoko, "We are nearing Tokyo and the Captain has turn on the fasten seat belts sign. We should be landing in about ten minutes." Kayoko opens her bright blue eyes very slowly and murmurs a quiet "Thank You," to the stewardess, who smiles and keeps moving up the aisle. Kayoko rubs the sleep from her eyes and looks out of a window on the right side of the plane. Seeing the skyscrapers of downtown Tokyo she thinks, 'Ah home at last.'

Today is her seventeenth birthday and it will be the first time she has been home since she accepted the scholarship for the American school. She would finally be able to see her beloved twin sister, Kagome, who had always been her best friend. Kagome was to pick her up in the baggage claim area of the air port. The plane shuddered as the wheels touched the ground and Kayoko becomes even more excited as she gathers her belongings, waiting for the plane to come to a complete stop and let it's passengers fight their way off.

As Kayoko exits the plane and walks through the busy crowd towards the baggage claim area she can only imagine what she and Kagome will do while she is home. She steps out of the crowd and finally into the baggage claim area. Walking toward the rotating belt that is supposed to have her luggage on it, Kayoko keeps a sharp eye out for her sister. As the belt rotates around again she finally gathers all of her luggage off of it and still does not see hers sister's smiling face. 'Kagome must be late again, like usual,' she thinks to herself, as she walks toward a small sitting area. She sits down and watches the people walk past her. Many of the men that walked passed stared at her, without any sign of embarrassment Kayoko looked each and everyone of them in the eye. Most of their stares were probably caused by the skimpy American clothing that she was wearing or maybe they were caused by the few tattoos and piercing that she now sported, her friends from school had talked her into getting each and every one of them.

Kayoko is modeling a skin tight, baby blue tank top which shows her midriff, heck, the shirt doesn't even cover her belly button, but it does bring out the bright blue coloring of her eyes. Her jeans are low ridding and hip hugging with flare legs. Since she has been in school in America she has manipulated her body more than once. While not just piercing her ears she has also pierced her tongue and belly button. Now permanently scarred (A/N: Did I spell that right?) on her body were three tattoos. One on the inside of her right hip bone, which is of a magnificently colored butterfly, the next consisting of a half-moon, half-sun figure, is proudly supported on her lower back just above her pant-line. Her final tattoo, which also is her favorite of the three, a dragonfly, is stretched between her shoulder blades, a beautiful purple wing spread out on each side of it's body.

Kayoko was glad that is was Kagome picking her up and not their mother. Mrs. Higurashi would have thrown a fit in the middle of the air port if that was the situation. Though, just in case her mother decided to come along with Kagome, Kayoko had a seat shirt ready to pull over her head, so as not to show off her skimpy shirt and body art.

Slipping her luggage under her seat, Kayoko pulls out her CD player and puts in Kelly Clarkson's newest album. She closes her eyes and listens to the calming lyrics of :Behind These Hazel Eyes."
