Kagome Higurashi pulled her hair into a bun, leaving slight wisps of her dark hair to come framing down her face. She stared at her appearance in the mirror on her wall, and smiled happily at the cheery girl who looked back at her. She walked out of her room to be met with the floor, her body crashing in a heap as she tripped over something. She groaned as she saw the little Mon-dolls her brother had been playing with.
"SOUTA!" she yelled, looking down the stairs to see her family eating calmly at the dining table. Her brother looked up innocently, and smiled cheekily at her.
"Hiya sis! Sleep good?" he asked, eyes shining. Kagome groaned, and flung a Neko-Mon doll at his face. The little twerp ducked out of the way and Kagome growled in frustration.
"And don't leave your dolls in front of my room anymore!" she yelled at him, sitting down on the chair in her school uniform, and calmly starting to eat. Her mother had watched the development with amusement, and called Souta in to finish his breakfast.
"Better hurry you two, schools going to start soon." Kagome nodded quickly, and finished eating her meal. Souta ran in with his school supplies, and hugged his mother.
"Bye mom! See you after school!" the little boy said, before turning to Kagome, and sticking out his tongue at her. "Bye Kagome!" he said tauntingly as he pulled his shoes on before running down the street to his school. Kagome just sighed at shook her head at her little brother's antics, before grabbing her own bookcase, and sitting down to put on her shoes. She called a goodbye to her mother, and left the house, her summer uniform allowing her to appreciate the breeze that was coming down the street as she ran to her school.
"Hey guys!" she called to her friends, who were just walking into the school. They smiled and waved at Kagome before stopping and waiting for her to catch up. Which she did, leaning over and putting her hands on her knees to brace herself as she tried to catch her breath. She stood with a smile as one of her friends commented about her hair. She looked up with a confused expression on her face before pulling her dark locks out of their confinement into the usual style. She had just started walking in with all of the students, who had filled the school courtyard, chatting amiably, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see a smiling Hojo.
"Hey Kagome!" he said, with a grin, a small little mon on his shoulder. It looked like a harpy, with a fat bird body and a slender male form rising from the bird's for-head. Those mon's were known for being temperamental, and extremely protective of their owners.
"Hey Hojo. Cute Mon." she said, leaning closer to take a look, before jerking away as the Harpy swiped it's claws in annoyance towards the girl's face. Hojo immediately called the Harpy to 'Return' to it's confining mon- ball, and looked closely at Kagome.
"You're not hurt, are you?" he asked, seeing her putting a finger to her cheek, where a small trickle of blood escaped. Hojo gasped, and as Kagome's friends looked on in amusement, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off a blushing Kagome. He smiled sadly at her, and looked at her closely.
"I'm so sorry Kagome!" he said apologetically, and Kagome smiled at the distraught look on her friend's face. "It's okay Hojo, it's only a little scratch, I'll go see the school nurse for a bandage." Hojo nodded, the worry still evident in his eyes.
"C'mon Kagome!" one of her friend's called, and she glanced over her shoulder.
"I've gotta go Hojo, she said, turning around and starting to run, waving at him as she did so. "Bye!" Hojo waved after her, then walked over to his own class, ready to start his school day after he'd seen Kagome. He smiled happily, and took his seat, just as the bell rang.
Kagome made it through her school with no problems, stopping at the Mon- Center to watch as trainers brought in their many different types of mons. She had frequently done this since she was four, and had learned quite a bit from older trainers who were just willing to talk to her. Kagome had loved the little Mon's she had been permitted to play with, and they had seemed to like her. Of course, they couldn't talk, but Mon's could always show affection in other ways. Today she left early, the usual joy of seeing a new Mon bringing the harsh pain of loss. Today had been her sixteenth birthday; the age where normal trainers-to-be got their first Mon, and began their journey through the outskirts of the land.
Kagome's city, Tokyo, was the largest of six, and all of them contained a Mon gym leader, where lesser trainers could always challenge the leaders to earn badges. Earn six badges, and you get to compete against the Elite Four, the four best trainers in the world. The elder Higurashi sighed and started her short walk home, her heart sad for herself, but happy that Hojo had received his own Mon to start a journey.
"I'm home!" she called, as she took off her shoes, and stepped into the eerily quiet house.
"Mom? Souta?" she called, her voice ringing through the empty rooms and halls. She turned a corner to her family room, and switched on the light.
"SURPRISE!" yelled at least twenty voices, and Kagome stood there with a deer-in-headlights face as her family and friends laughed, throwing confetti at the teen. Kagome laughed in happiness, seeing Hojo and her grandfather, mother and brother, and most of her friends from school. Kagome's brown eyes were closed at the moment in laughter as friends surrounded her, and laughed with her. Noise-crackers went off loudly, and the party was soon underway. Dancing and cake, presents and laughter, the night was long as her family and friends celebrated Kagome's Sixteenth birthday in style. Only after people began to fall asleep were parents called for rides home from Higurashi shrine.
The ancient-styled shrine was where Kagome had lived since her father had died, at the age of four. Mrs. Higurashi had raised her two children well, teaching them values and principles to live by. Kagome and grown up well here, and fell onto her bed after everyone had left with only one thought of disappointment marring her happiness.
'I guess I'm not going to start my Mon journey this year...'
The next morning, Kagome's eyes opened to harsh sunlight. She groaned and turned to look at her alarm clock in surprise. It was six a.m. Her eyes flew open.
"What the heck...?" she trailed off, noticing her grandfather dressed in his old traditional haori and obi standing over her. He smiled cheerfully at her, then threw open her window, letting in a blast of a summer breeze. Unused to the breeze, Kagome huddled deeper into her blankets.
"Kagome! Get up! Do you want to be the last one to get a Mon today, or not?" Kagome looked at her grandfather in happiness, and glee, before getting up and hugging her grandfather, nearly strangling him.
"Okay...Okay..." he gagged, then pointed to her school uniform. "Get dressed so we can go see the Professor." Kagome nearly shoved her aged grandfather out of the room, dressing in such a hurry that she nearly jammed socks onto her head. Grinning like the schoolgirl she looked like, she dressed correctly, and ran down the stairs.
"Hi mom, bye mom!" she yelled as she raced out of the house, following her speedy grandfather up to the observatory where the Professor lived. The observatory was placed on a scenic hill, high above the town of Tokyo. Kagome slowed to a brisk walk as she neared the broad doors, smiling in anticipation. When she pushed open the doors, she was greeted with a mad rush of trainers, all with small red and white balls containing their Mon's. After nearly being run over by the stampede, she made her way inward, hope shining on her face.
Old Kaede, the wise professor, welcomed her. Because she had tangled with a wild Neko-mon when she was younger, she had lost sight in one of her eyes, so she wore a long white bandage over it. Despite her seeing disability, she was one of the leading researchers of Mon's of all types and varieties. Kagome did a short bow to the Professor, the looked for her grandfather.
"Do you know where my grandpa is, Professor Kaede?" asked Kagome, as Kaeda pointed behind her squat frame. The Professor, forgoing the usual lab garments, wore the clothes that Kagome's grandfather wore, 'for comfort' she had said whenever asked about her unusual outfit.
"Kagome." Said the Professor, looking at the young girl with a sad air, motioned behind her. "You've arrived too late. All of the Mon's I had were claimed. Did you sleep in?" asked Kaede gently, knowing that this would be a tremendous letdown to the would-be trainer. Kagome struggled with helpless tears as she stared at Kaede, then sat on the floor suddenly.
"Please! You must have something! I'll take any Mon, I don't care which." She pleaded with the elder, who looked down at Kagome with a feeling of regret. Kaede knew how much Kagome loved Mons.
"I do have one. However-" She was cut off by Kagome's gasp of happiness as the girl leaped up and hugged the old Professor. The professor pushed the girl away, not unkindly, and went to a panel, and pressed a small button. A small table rose from a trapdoor hidden in the floor, and on it stood a small figure, barely two feet tall.
The Mon had long silver hair that glittered in the luminescent lighting as he raised long claws to slash at the glass that held him captive. Seeing no change in his containment, the young-man shaped Mon struck the glass again, finally head-butting it in frustration, to fall back on his back, his face a comical picture of hurt and anger and confusion. Kagome laughed at the little Mon, and watched him happily. His golden eyes narrowed at this big girl's face that was so close and his dog-ears twitched on the top of his head in a show of annoyance. His red clothes seemed perfect for him, and he had a little necklace of rosary beads from his neck. Kaede looked at him in annoyance and at his diminutive little gestures of rudeness.
"Kagome, say a word of command." Kaede said, as she saw the glass begin to crack as the Inu-Mon kept banging his head on the glass.
'Of course...His hard head.' Kaede thought, starting to get worried, as the hairline cracks became larger. "Kagome!" She brushed the girl out of her happy state with a pull on her short shirtsleeve.
"Huh?" the teenager said, watching as the sharp claws finally broke through, sending glass shards everywhere. The Mon growled low in his neck, and leaped for Kagome's throat with his sharp claws. Kagome stared at the sharp little nail claws in terror of the Mon, before closing her eyes tightly, and yelling,
"SIT BOY!"
The beads around the Mon glowed pink for a few seconds, and the Inu-Mon's face showed shock and confusion before he plunged to the ground, making a definite impression of his body. He groggily got up, then shook his head. Then he leaped for Kaede.
"The word, Kagome." Kaede said calmly, as the claws headed for her face.
"Sit boy!"
The Mon crashed to the floor again, and this time was knocked unconscious. Kagome placed him within her first Monball, and then looked at Kaede.
"So he's mine?" she asked, hardly daring to breathe. Kaede nodded grimly and then the ardent teenager leaped around the partially destroyed laboratory, the little Mon safely asleep inside the little white and red ball. She hugged Kaede, then her grandfather, who had been hiding under a piece of rather large and expensive looking equipment.
"Kagome," said Kaede. The dark haired teenager looked up from her Monball. "He's a dangerous one, not yet tamed." The old Professor said. Kagome nodded a spark of light in her eyes.
"Neither am I."
***
Later that evening, after the three had returned to Higurashi Shrine, Kagome had dashed upstairs to her room, locked the door and windows and released her Mon, to see a bit more of what he looked like. He rose out of a blue mist, coming out of his Monball, and then crashed to the floor, unconscious. Kagome picked up the little guy in her hands, studying his face closely. His mouth had the tiniest little fang point coming from his teeth, and his eyes were still closed as his small chest fell up and down in a regular breathing pattern. She sighed slightly, with a smile on her face, as she watched her little Mon curl into a little ball in her cupped hands. She gently placed him on her pillow, and started her homework that had been due yesterday. She studied diligently, knowing that she would soon be starting her journey. She finished shortly before nine, and then walked down stairs for diner with her grandfather, mother, and Souta. After she finished the delicious meal, she washed the dishes, and went upstairs to bed.
The Inu-Mon had yet to move, and was still asleep. Kagome felt sorry for the little creature, the sit command must have hurt him quite a bit.
"His name is Inu-Yasha.' Kaede had told her before they left. "He's one of the uncontrollable Inu-Mons that roam this country. Though he's a feisty one, I have no doubt you can contain him." Kagome snuggled under her comforter, and slept the night through peacefully, next to her new Mon.
'This is the best...' she thought as she drifted to sleep.
The next morning, the sun had yet to rise; yet the Inu-Mon had. Kagome woke to his growling, and baring his fangs.
"Sit." She murmured sleepily, and once more, the beads glowed with a pink light before slamming the poor little Inu face first into the pillow. Kagome sighed, and got up, before looking at the alarm clock and frantically shoving things into a giant, over sized backpack. The bored little Mon sat on the bed, with his arms folded and covered with his red robes, watching the odd human run about. He made a sound deep in his throat, almost like a 'Feh'. Kagome threw the backpack over her shoulder, and ran down the stairs. She realized she hadn't changed out of her uniform last night, and sighed in relief. The Inu-Mon had leapt after her, dashing on all fours ahead of the human for the door.
Kagome smiled, and hugged her mother, who was waiting with a small bag lunch, and breakfast in her hands. "Bye mom." She whispered, hugging her tightly, as her mother did the same to her growing daughter. "Call if you need anything." Said her mother, slipping Mon-Gear into her backpack, along with a Mon identifier called the Mon-Index. Kagome whispered for her mother to tell her good-byes to Souta, and then slipped out the front door, to where her bike waited.
Instead, she was greeted with a smiling cousin Rin. Kagome laughed in delight to see her pony-tailed cousin, and went to hug her, but the proud little girl in jeans and a blue tee shirt stopped her with a wave of the hand.
"Come on Kagome." Said the little girl. "I challenge you to a duel!"
Kagome stared in surprise at her small cousin. "How do you have a Mon?" she said, suspecting her mischievous little cousin had stolen one. Rin shook her head.
"It doesn't matter. Come forth Sesshomaru!" said the little girl, and tossed a white and red Monball high in the air. In a flash of green light, a little Inu-Mon, two feet tall in the highest, with long silver hair, gold eyes and a white haori stepped forward, with a yellow-purple obi, and chest armor. He had two pink strips on both cheeks and red outlining his eyes. He had the grace of a cat as he crouched down, staring intently at Kagome's Mon. With a start, Kagome realized that Inu-Yasha was not behind her anymore, but rather in front of her, growling his head off. Kagome nodded in excitement, and hoped that Inu-Yasha would know to follow her orders. She flipped open her Index, and pointed it to Inu-Yasha.
'Inu-Mon. With the normal attacks of Speed, Agility and the special attacks of Iron Reamer Soul stealer, and Blades of Blood, its weaknesses are wind attacks.' Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and nodded towards Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha! Use your speed attacks!"
The Inu-Mon leaped forward, but instead of using his speed, he head butted his opponent before slashing at Sesshomaru with claws. Kagome groaned before watching Sesshomaru attack with blinding accuracy, using his Demonic Whip and Poison Claws on her poor Inu-Mon. Inu-Yasha got up from the ground where he had sprawled, and rushed forward, listening to Kagome's advice of agility, and claws combined. Rin watched as her little Inu-Mon was scored with dozens of gashes, rendering him unable to move. With a last, final glare at his opponent, Sesshomaru leaped forward, and raked Inu-Yasha's chest with his poison talons.
"Return!" commanded Rin, who glared at her cousin. "I'll beat you yet Kagome!" she said, before taking off. In the distance, Kagome could hear her calling for her mommy. Kagome sighed, and then remembered Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha, are you all right?" she asked, before getting claws swiped at her. She picked up the weakening Inu-Mon and set him in the basket of her bike, before taking off. While she pedaled, she poured Antidote down her little Mon's throat, watching as he healed instantaneously. She sighed, and then told him to return. She watched as, amazed, her Inu-Mon refused to go back inside. Kagome blinked, before pedaling smoothly as Inu-Yasha fell asleep to the rhythm of her bike ride.

"Hiya sis! Sleep good?" he asked, eyes shining. Kagome groaned, and flung a Neko-Mon doll at his face. The little twerp ducked out of the way and Kagome growled in frustration.

"Hey Kagome!" he said, with a grin, a small little mon on his shoulder. It looked like a harpy, with a fat bird body and a slender male form rising from the bird's for-head. Those mon's were known for being temperamental, and extremely protective of their owners.
"Hey Hojo. Cute Mon." she said, leaning closer to take a look, before jerking away as the Harpy swiped it's claws in annoyance towards the girl's face. Hojo immediately called the Harpy to 'Return' to it's confining mon- ball, and looked closely at Kagome.

'Inu-Mon. With the normal attacks of Speed, Agility and the special attacks of Iron Reamer Soul stealer, and Blades of Blood, its weaknesses are wind attacks.' Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and nodded towards Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha! Use your speed attacks!"
The Inu-Mon leaped forward, but instead of using his speed, he head butted his opponent before slashing at Sesshomaru with claws. Kagome groaned before watching Sesshomaru attack with blinding accuracy, using his Demonic Whip and Poison Claws on her poor Inu-Mon. Inu-Yasha got up from the ground where he had sprawled, and rushed forward, listening to Kagome's advice of agility, and claws combined. Rin watched as her little Inu-Mon was scored with dozens of gashes, rendering him unable to move. With a last, final glare at his opponent, Sesshomaru leaped forward, and raked Inu-Yasha's chest with his poison talons.
"Return!" commanded Rin, who glared at her cousin. "I'll beat you yet Kagome!" she said, before taking off. In the distance, Kagome could hear her calling for her mommy. Kagome sighed, and then remembered Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha, are you all right?" she asked, before getting claws swiped at her. She picked up the weakening Inu-Mon and set him in the basket of her bike, before taking off. While she pedaled, she poured Antidote down her little Mon's throat, watching as he healed instantaneously. She sighed, and then told him to return. She watched as, amazed, her Inu-Mon refused to go back inside. Kagome blinked, before pedaling smoothly as Inu-Yasha fell asleep to the rhythm of her bike ride.
