Magic and Demons

Chapter 1: Letters of the Past

"Today class you will be receiving the names of your pen pals from the U.S., as I call your name please come up front to receive your pen pal's name."

Kagome is currently in her 6th grade English class and is waiting for her name to be called to receive her pen pal's name.

"Higurashi"

"Hai"

Once Kagome reached the front of the room the teacher handed her the name of her pen pal. Then she returned to her seat and once she sat down in her chair, she unfolded the paper and read the name on the paper in her head.

"Ari Li, I thought they were supposed to be from America. Oh well."

"Tonight when you get home, write a letter and send it the next day or you can send the letter the same day you write it. They will receive your letter in about two days and the same will be for you when they write you a letter. So you should receive your letter in about 3-4 days."

BBBrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggggggggg

"O.K class, see you on Monday and have a great Sunday."

In Kagome's room

Dear Ari Li

My name is Kagome Higurashi, I am 13 years old, my birthday is May 7th, and I am in the 6th grade. I have a mother, a younger brother named Sota and he his 6 years old, a grandfather, and a cat name Buyo. I live on a shrine that has been passed down in my family for over 500 years. There is the sacred tree and an enchanted well that was sealed for over 400 years and my grandpa tells me lots of stories of demons and enchanted items. Every year on my birthday my grandpa gives me something that he thinks is magical. Also the story that my grandpa keeps telling me is the story about the Shikon no tama.

Sincerely

Kagome Higurashi

Kagome then sealed the letter and stamped it. Kagome looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 6p.m. She then put on her shoes and ran out the door to go mail her letter.

Four days later

"MMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM"

"Yes dear?"

"Did any mail come for me?"

"Yes, there was a letter for you in the mail."

Kagome grabbed her letter and ran up to her room and started reading her letter.

Dear Kagome Higurashi

My name is Ari Li, I am 11 years old, my birthday is July 4th, and I am in the 4th grade. I live with my father, Aunt, Uncle, cousin, and my two guardians, my cousin also as two guardians. I live in New York City and my aunt has her own toy corporation because it used to be her mother's. I have family in Europe, China, and Japan. Also I want to ask you something, can I tell you anything and can you keep it a secret?

Sincerely

Ari Li

Once Kagome had finished reading the letter she started on her letter.

Dear Ari

To answer your question, yes I can keep any secret if you want me too. Also in class we were told during summer break that we were going to live with our pen pals for the summer vacation which is two weeks long. So can you ask your dad if I could stay with you during summer break?

Your Friend

Kagome

The next day Kagome mailed her letter.

Dear Kagome

My father and aunt said yes, for you to be able to live with us during summer vacation. We will pick you up at your home and we will take my aunt's privet plane to New York City and my father, aunt, and I will be on the plane waiting for you. So get ready to go.

Your Friend

Ari-chan

"MMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM"

Kagome yelled as she ran out of her room and downstairs to where her mother was located.

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Mom, can I go?" Kagome asked as she gave her mother the letter she had just received.

"Yes, you may go but you better behave. So you leave tomorrow, you better pack for your trip and I'll help you pack."

The next day

Kagome was running around the house packing her things that she was going to take with her on her trip to the U.S. Ari was to pick her up at 12pm and it was already 11:30am. Kagome had know just finished packing her luggage and was know packing her carry on that she was going to put her snacks, cd player, CDs, books, and her sketch book. It was 11:58 when the door bell rang and Mrs. Higurashi answered the door. In front of her was a young man, who look to be in his early twenties, he had short silver hair, he had brown eyes and was warring glasses, he was taller than her, about 6'0, a smile was on his face and he looked as happy as can be.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up Kagome. To take her to America."

"Oh yes, I'll go get her."

"KAGOME, your ride is here."

"Kay"

You could then hear the thump of Kagome's suit case and the running of her feet. Kagome was down at the door in less than a second with her things in hand. She handed her suit case to the young man who had introduced himself as Yukito.

"Bye mom"

"Bye Kagome"

They walked down the stairs where there was a young girl around 11 year's old standing in front of a limo.

"Hello Kagome"

"You must be Ari, it is very nice to meet you and I hope we have a great time."

"Yes," Ari then opened the door for Kagome and she got in, then Ari got in and closed the door. While Yukito got into the driver's seat and started to drive off to the airport. When they arrived at the airport, they were escorted to the private plane and they were loaded on to the plane and they waited for about 5 min before they took off.

Arrived at Ari's Home

When they arrived at Ari's home it was well 11pm, so they entered the house quietly as to not wake anyone up. Ari showed Kagome her room and then retreated to her own room for the night. When Ari entered her room, she was greeted with an angry Kero.

"ARI, do you know how worried I was because you weren't here. You better be glad that a Clow Card didn't activate while you were gone…"

"Yes, yes, I know, I know… I sense a Clow Card and it is near the park."

"Get dress and let's go." Her outfit was a purple and black dress made out of rubber and there was a pair of cat ears and a tail and both were black. She wore black stockings with purple boots. Also she has a yellow bell around her tail and neck.

At the Park

When they arrived at the park you could see a giant spark going every where.

"Use your powers to bind him, SHADOW."
