As Kagome is to Kikiyo she is a reincarnation of her. As for these kids as well. Don't live in Japan, but America. In the state of Chicago. And I'll introduce the characters as I go. It takes place in Chicago (obviously); they know each other.
"(Sigh) another day at High School and yet it's another boring day." Thought Raissa.
That's Raissa. She's 16, her friends call her Asha because it's simpler to say and her family says it too. So we'll just do the same and call her Asha. a young girl of mexican heritage, dark skinned and golden eyes, her hair is white and long. Although loud, rude, and sometimes peaceful she is driven and competitive, captain of the gymnist league and also quite adept at swordplay. Her mom gets mad if she does it in the house.
"Hey Asha, wanna come to my house and watch TV?" Says Beatriz.
That's her best friend Beatriz, of course its the same with her name, Asha calls her Betty. She too is 16, Hispanic but she's Ecuadorian, has black hair and brown eyes. She likes to hurl things (like Frisbees) hard. Like if she's hurling a boomerang at Asha, when they play. For all that time at the gym I guess she really has grown strong. She also has a cat named kiara.
"Nah, that's alright, I have to get home to...to fix something."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, I-"
"Hey ladies," said Oliver.
That's Oliver; he has no respect for females, he's full American, has short black hair and brown eyes. He has a birthmark on his hand, and he's really into fantasy stuff like staffs, magic but he's 17 for crying out loud. when will he get a life.
He touched Betty, and whack.
"Ouch." he said as he was on the floor.
"Hey everyone," Samantha replied.
That's Samantha another best friend of Asha (also betty's friend), She's from London. She is 15, but very smart. She has red (mixed with yellow, which is weird but cool) hair and blue eyes. She's really nice but is scared of most things.
"Touched you again?"
"Yup,"
"Tsk, moron."
"Hey, look who finally made it." He said.
"Sorry, I was helping someone." Said Matt.
That's Matt, he has a total crush on Asha, he to is full American, age 17 has short blonde hair and green eyes. He's good at Archery (is what he says), he's good in school and he's into eating a lot but he still skinny.
"Hey you guys, would u consider someone a freak if they had ummm...dog ears?" Asha Asked.
"No, they'd look cool." Answered Matt.
They all nodded. They went to Asha's house to study, Betty brought her cat Kiara. Her grandma was her guardian, her mom and dad were at war (which makes no sense for me but her mom wanted to), but she noticed two little bumps on her granddaughters' head.
"Asha, we need to speak." She said.
Ok, this is Mrs. Sara Maria Guitron, that's Ashas grandma. She's not that old and works as a bagger. She's really into history, mostly in Japan but who can blame her. She's like one of those cool grandmas.
"Let me see your head,"
"N-no grandma! I mean uh- its alright."
"What's going on?"
"Well, I think I might be growing dog ears." She whispered.
"I guess the time has come."
"What? What are you talking about?"
She went into the attic and told her to follow her. Her friends too. So they followed, they entered and saw all these cool things, like kimonos, a sword, and all these other great stuff.
"Grandma, what are these great stuff?"
"Yea Mrs. G." Said Oliver.
"These are things I'm giving to you all,"
"Cool!...Why?"
"It is a mission or should I say voyage for you all, you are all half Japanese as well. Why do you think you all have changed so much?"
"What are you talking about?" Said Betty.
"Well, for one Asha has dog ears."
They all stared at her.
"What are you guys looking at?!" She yelled.
"Samantha has grown a tail, and her feet has changed."
"Yes, its true. Why do you think I've been wearing high heels and long pants?"
"Oliver's birth mark has gotten bigger, and Matt well, he's never been good at archery, but now he will learn."
She handed them all clothes, and weapons.
"Ha! Mine is bigger than all you guys stuff."
"Now, you all have to go back in time."
"Pfft! Like that can happen." Said Asha.
"Oh, but it can."
There in the middle of the room was a circle with a kind of star in there.
"Now, all of you go on all the corners of the star and Asha go in the middle."
They did what they were told.
"I'll miss you all,"
"Wait, will we be able to come back?"
"Can we stay there if we wanted to?"
"Will our family realize that were gone?"
"Yes, you'll be able to come back, Yes, you can stay there if you want but then you'll never exist in this time, meaning that your mother and father wouldn't go to war, and no, it will be like you never existed, but know one thing I will always remember you. Asha, here's something for you but its a dangerous thing to wear or so I was told. I love you all."
She then whispered something to Asha. and gave her another necklace.
"Bye grandma," She said shedding tears.
"Bye." they all said.
"Mew?"
"Now everyone hold hands, and repeat after me Asha, As the time passes through, let this other place be new. Help us meet the ones we seek, and I will heal them when they are weak. To this land we go, off to see us in the old. Portal open as I say these words out loud, open up and surround us with clouds."
As Asha said those words a portal opened, and then a bright light shone. They were gone. Asha opened her eyes to see her self alone. She guessed that everyone was alone too. She got up to see that she was not in the attic anymore.
"Ugh...my head." she touched her head and felt something soft. She couldn't see it so she went near a pond she sniffed out, which freaked her out even more but she got there and saw she had white dog ears. She screamed. Then she heard someone coming, hiding she saw a girl and a guy.
"I dont think their the good guys." She thought.
"Are you sure you heard screaming?" Said the girl.
"Yes." said the guy.
The girl left and the guy was alone looking into the water. Well, lets go to Oliver now, he woke up wondering why his hand hurted. He took a look.
"WOAH!" He yelled.
"I got a whirlpool on my hand...wonder where it leads?" He thought.
He walked towards some voices he heard. It was some guy that looked exactly like him. He stood hidden waiting for the right moment to get him. Now to Betty. She walked around with Kiara and spotted a monster. Betty didnt know what to do, then Kiara changed into a big cat and attacked.
"Cool." She said.
As her cat changed back she spotted another big cat in the distance. Betty hid in the bushes with Kiara, she was scared it was a monster. Now to Matt, he spotted a girl walking. He saw her with a bow and arrows, he got up and walked over. But because she heard something in the bushes, she shot an arrow at him. He started to run and hid (like everyone else, cant be to careful). Lastly was Samantha, She saw a little fox thing and thought it looked cute, but when she saw it turn into something, and saw a spider, she turned into a bunny. She quickly hid.
