"C'mon, what the hell are you doing?! Jerking off?!"
"Something like that, yeah!"
"What the hell?! I'm coming in!"
The door opened to reveal a curvaceous young woman, checking herself in the mirror. Currently wearing nothing but a towel, the young woman, turned around, eyeing her companion. Cockiness was written all over her face, the smirk on her lips obscured by the tooth brush in her mouth. Winking at the person standing at the doorframe, the young woman turned around and spit the tooth paste out of her mouth, washing it clean.
"Jerking off? Really Kagome? You're sounding way too much like me." the young woman said, walking past her and entering her companion's room.
"It's not my fault. Two years around you takes a tool on me." Kagome, the companion, said, crossing her arms "Are you done? We need to get going. I'm gonna be late for my date and you are gonna be late for... Whatever you have to do."
"I have to go to the city, buy a new pair of sneakers and then meet a friend in the mall. Who is the guy you're dating again?"
"His name is Takuya, and I know that you know who he is. You introduced us!"
"Yeah, I know..." the young woman said, dropping the towel on the floor.
Kagome sat down on her bed and stared out of the window. It had been three years since the well closed. So many times she had jumped inside and tried to reach the other side. So many times she had tried to connect, once again, with the Feudal Era. So many times she desired to see the ones she loved. She wasn't over it yet. She didn't think she would ever be. When she was in the 2nd year of high school, she was given a chance to go meet an Austrian exchange student from US. She welcomed the strange student into her school with warmth and joy. And she was glad she did. Because, if she hadn't, she would have never met the girl standing in front of her closet, trying to pick out some clothes.
Her name was Bo. Ysabeau, to be truthful, but she preferred Bo. A short, around 4.9 ft, curvaceous young woman. Tanned skin, like herself. Deep brown eyes, but in the sunlight looked butter caramel. Thin and small nose, rosy and fleshy lips. But was most attracted Kagome to that girl was her wavy waist-long arctic blue hair. Maybe because it reminded her of her parted lover, when her hair was exposed to the sunlight. Or maybe because Bo looked extremely good with that hair color. Whatever it was, it connected the two.
"Are you thinking about Newtown's First Law of Motion?" a melodic voice woke Kagome up from her thoughts.
"The what now?" she asked back.
"You're staring into space like some kind of emo." the blue haired girl said "Are you thinking about how gravity works, or is it something about society being the money that fucks you from behind and you're the whore?"
"Something along those lines..." Kagome smiled. She usually didn't approve that kind of vocabulary, but she had come to learn that Bo was a very straight forwarded person that didn't care about people's opinions on her.
"My thoughts exactly. What do you think, black skinny jeans or shorts?"
.-ae-.
"So, are you telling me that, if you could choose between living in the Magic Mike universe and Hunger Games universe, you would pick Hunger Games?" Kagome asked, surprised.
"Of course!" Bo answered, flickering her hair back "I get to kill so many people. Hell, I would become Katniss's bff."
"You are the worst person that I ever met. You choose killing over hotness all over the place?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah! Besides, I get to fuck Liam Hemsworth." Bo smirked, pushing her sunglasses over her eyes.
"He's almost 6.3 ft.! You would have to stand in a chair to even be able to kiss him!" Kagome exclaimed, laughing.
"So? I don't mind making sacrifices for our love. If I have to walk in high heels all day long just to reach him a little bit more, I can do it."
"You hate high heels…" Kagome observed.
"I know. But love makes us do stupid things." Bo laughed, punching Kagome's arm lightly.
"You're a stupid thing." The brunette answered, shaking her head. "He's here."
"YO, TAKUYA!" Bo yelled, waving at him. The handsome male, with spiky brown hair and silvery eyes waved back and exclaimed:
"Bo! What's up, doll?"
"The usual. Gonna meet Ryo at the mall. And I need a new pair of sneakers."
"You bought a pair last week! What happened to those?"
"Trash. Queen Brianna Bitch dropped spicy sauce on them."
"Is she okay?" Takuya asked.
"She left the hospital yesterday. A full reconstruction of the nose."
"Damn, you mean, doll."
"I know." Bo smirked "And you better not hurt Kagome, otherwise, you will go through the same pain Queen Brianna Bitch went."
"Yes mam." Takuya saluted, gulping. He knew this girl since forever, but damn, she was scary.
"Bye, Kags."
"Bye Bo."
.-ae-.
"So that is what you want?" Bo asked, frowning "Really?"
"Yeah! Wouldn't that be cool?" Kagome asked, clasping her hands together.
"Not the puppy eyes, please..." Bo begged, cringing.
"I won't if you say yes..."
"Fine, okay!" the blue haired girl exclaimed, throwing her arms up in the air "We're going to pet store!"
"Yes!" Kagome let out, fisting the air "Buyo needs a new collar."
"I'm surprised to even hear that he's still alive…" Bo let out "How many times have I thrown him out of the window for messing with my stuff?"
"On my count? 37." Kagome told her, walking slowly.
"That's waaaay to many lives for a stupid cat like that." She said "Seriously… 37? I'm a murderer."
"He's not dead yet." The brunette said.
"Yet." The other girl declared, smirking.
"You are so evil…" Kagome giggled, putting a lock of hair behind her ear.
"I know. I keep telling you, I'm the Devil reincarnated."
"Bo." Kagome stopped walking immediately, turning to the girl with a strange look on her face "I told you not to make reincarnation jokes, didn't I?"
"Oh… Kags, I'm sorry. I forgot." The girl said, taking Kagome's hand.
Yes. Because Bo knew. Bo knew what Kagome had gone through on her fifteenth birthday. One day, she was spending the night at the Higurashi shrine, sleeping in Kagome's room when the brunette had, once again, a nightmare about what she had been through. And that woke Bo up. And she didn't give up until Kagome was spilling her guts out with the whole story. Kagome's worst fear had been that Bo thought that she was lying. That she was crazy. She was almost offering to show her the well when Bo chuckled and said:
"So, you are as fucked up as I am. Glad to know I'm not the only freak around here."
"It's fine. Just… Tomorrow completes three years, so I'm trying to take in all the happiness I can find so that I can whine and do nothing all day."
"Kags, tomorrow we have classes." Bo said, grabbing her shoulder.
"I know. But my mood will be down." Kagome said, looking to her feet.
"Hey, but today is not that day." Bo said, grabbing her chin and pulling it up "Let's go watch a movie. Something funny. Okay?"
"Okay." The brunette said, allowing Bo to take her hand and run towards the mall. "Hey Bo?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"Hey, Mrs. Higurashi." Bo waved, walking to the smiling lady "Where's Kags?"
"She should be here soon. She went out with Takuya again." She said, looking down to her arms. Bo nodded and took the basket from Mrs. Higurashi's arms, smiling when the lady caressed her hair and kissed her forehead.
"You are one of the best people I know, Ysabeau. I'm so glad my daughter found you."
"Thank you, Mrs. Higurashi…" Bo said, leaning onto her touch "You don't have to be so nice to me."
"I do. Especially because you healed my daughter."
"I did?" Bo asked, looking up to her.
"You did. If it wasn't for you, she would still be hanging on to every piece of her memories. Thank you for saving her from her past…"
"I merely stood by her when she needed me. If anything, she was the one that rescued me from the shadows that lurked behind me." Bo said, climbing up the stairs with Kagome's mother behind her.
"Mom, I'm home!" Kagome's voice echoed through the hallway, making the females smile. Bo ran down stairs and hugged Kagome, before taking her hand and dragging her up to her room.
"C'mon, Kags! I have something to show you!" Bo shouted, while the brunette begged her to let her go.
"Bo! Stop! I mean it!" Kagome exclaimed, but to no avail. The arctic blue haired girl continued to drag her up to Kagome's bedroom, and only stopped when the door was closed behind them.
"There! It wasn't so hard, was it?" Bo asked, smirking. Kagome only crossed her arms and stared at the young woman. Bo sighed and declared "Don't get your panties on a twist. I brought you here to show you something."
"Okay. I'm listening. And waiting."
"Remember that day, like about three weeks ago, when I disappeared for one day and only came back late at night and you asked me what happened and I refused to tell you?"
"Of course. What happened then? Can you tell me now?" Kagome asked, uncrossing her arms.
"Yeah. I can. I disappeared to do this." Bo said, pulling her shirt up and showing Kagome the skin right under her left breast.
Right there, standing proud on her tanned skin, was an infinity symbol. But not like the usual girly ones. No, thins infinity was a soft cord, the circles perfectly well done, but the cord was broken. Where it began, an inch behind ended. It was beautiful, with sweet swirls and a small butterfly hovering the small break, the cord looking like a wild line. Kagome gasped at the view. Even though the infinity was broken, she didn't care. That was one of the most beautiful tattoos she had even seen.
"Oh, wow, Bo..." Kagome let out. "It's beautiful..."
"Thanks, Kags... It's something that I've been planning on doing for a while."
"Why didn't you tell me? I could have gone with you... I know that ribs are a hard place to make a tattoo."
"Well, it was worth every tingle of pain and penny. Besides, it was something that I wanted to do on my own, you know?" Bo smiled, pulling her shirt back down.
"I know. Hey, it's getting late. Let's get some dinner, sleep and we'll talk tomorrow, okay?"
"K, Kags."
.-ae-.
The young woman opened her eyes to meet the strong sunlight that invaded the room. Pulling her pillow over her eyes, she groaned. It was another beautiful day, but the blue haired girl didn't want to wake up. Her dream was being way too pleasant for her to open her eyes and destroy such fantasy. But unfortunately, the birds didn't share her intention. They sang at the top of their lungs, felling the fresh air of a brand new day. Buyo didn't seem to obey her unspoken wishes either. The cat entered through Kagome's room slightly open door and climbed to Bo's stomach, stretching its body before lying down right over the girl's breasts.
"Ah, hell no!" Bo exclaimed, grabbing the cat by its neck and throwing him against the nearest wall "Go bother your owner!"
"Meow" it let out, settling on the girl's stomach again.
"Buyo… Do you wanna fly out of the window again?" Bo asked, glaring at the cat "Then GET OFF!"
"Bo, screaming this early?" a male voice called out, belonging to a handsome young teen, standing at the doorframe.
"Sorry, Souta." The girl smiled, sitting up "You know I'm not a cat person."
"I do." He said, entering the room and sitting down on Kagome's bed "Did Buyo wake you up again?"
"No. The birds did" Bo smiled "But the damned cat helped."
"Sorry about that." Souta said, picking Buyo up from her lap "Did you think about what I asked you?"
"What, going as your date to your school dance?" she asked "I don't know, kid. Why don't you ask your crush?"
"She has a date already…" he explained, caressing Buyo's fur "Besides, I wanted to ask one of the most beautiful girls in this world to go with me."
"Your sister?"
"She's gorgeous, but no. You!" the boy blushed. Bo giggled and said "Aw, that's so sweet of you, Souta…"
"Bo, Souta!" Mrs. Higurashi shouted "Breakfast is ready!"
"Coming mom!" Souta exclaimed "Think about it, okay Bo? And then let me know."
"You are such a smooth talker…" Bo let out, smiling. She stood up and grabbed her baseball jacket, putting it over her naked shoulders, and walked down the stairs.
"Good morning, Ysabeau." Kagome's grandfather said.
"Good morning, old man." Bo said, sitting next to Kagome "Hey Kags."
"Hey Bo." The girl said.
"You're up early. What are you going to do? Erin said that the school closed today."
"I know. I'm just going to do chores around the house." Kagome told her "I don't feel like doing much today…"
"Okay. Can you at least help me pick my clothes?"
"Sure." The brunette said, not paying much care at the words her friend was speaking.
The rest of the meal was spent in silence, only with a few compliments at the great flavor of the food. Faithful to her education, Kagome got up and washed her dishes, excusing herself afterwards. A few minutes later, her footsteps were heard and Kagome appeared, wearing a crimson shirt underneath a white knitted jacket, a blue skirt and crimson flats. She waved and smiled softly before leaving the house.
"Why is Kagome so melancholic today?" Souta asked out loud.
"Today is the third anniversary of her break away from Inuyasha." Bo explained, her voice soft "Her heart is more fragile than usual today."
"Oh…" Souta let out. Bo smiled and excused herself from the table after listening to Kagome's mom saying that she would do the dishes.
Climbing up the stairs, she opened the window of Kagome's room. It was warm outside, hot even. So, with a soft smile, she grabbed her black swimming bra, a sleeveless dark red zipper up hoodie, which she zipped up to the navel, a pair of black ripped skinny jeans and a leather spiked belt, falling down to her left hip. Tying her arctic blue hair up in a messy ponytail, and locking a strip black choker with a triskle pendant she climbed down the stairs and put on her brown ankle boots, leaving the house right after.
She sat down on the porch, watching the statue in the middle of the Higurashi's shrine backyard. It was a beautiful statue, she had to admit. And the tree… Softly freeing oxygen to the air, giving out a cool shadow for others to refuge under… That tree was a giver. Like the whole Higurashi family. They were givers, and they loved to give. And Bo was a result of such pure intentions. She had come to the Higurashi's doorstep with the clear mind that they were up to something, that they weren't the perfect family, but it all came back to her.
Because they were the nicest family she had ever met. Angels, even.
She saw Kagome walk through the backyard and enter the old hut where the 'cursed well', as the senior Higurashi called it, was. But she didn't close the door behind her. Bo saw Mrs. Higurashi walk inside the hut too and then, the blue haired girl followed them. She saw Kagome smile to her mother and nod, before jumping inside the well. Bo frowned, but didn't keep herself quiet. After a few seconds of not hearing the soft sound of a landing, she asked:
"Mrs. Higurashi? What just happened? Where's Kagome?"
"Oh, Bo…" Mrs. Higurashi smiled softly, turning around "Kagome… Kagome went back to where her heart belongs. Kagome went to see Inuyasha again."
"I have to go with her. I have to!" Bo said, running down the stairs and hurrying to the well. Kagome's mother grabbed her arm and declared "Bo… You can't follow her. I can't let you."
"You don't understand! I have to! Kagome made me promise that I would be there when she reunited again with Inuyasha! And I never break my promises! I have to go, Mrs. Higurashi." Bo exclaimed.
And then, she jumped inside the well.
Kagome stretched her hand to grab another waiting for her hold. She felt herself being pulled up and she met a pair of golden eyes, the same pair of eyes that she missed so much, the same pair of eyes that she has been longing to see for three full years. She thought back to her family, that she left behind, but seeing the powerful gaze that his eyes held, she quickly dismissed them. This was her choice, he was her choice. And this was her new world.
"Kagome…" he whispered, taking in her scent.
"Inuyasha… Sorry I took so long…"
"Kagome…" he whispered, pulling her to a powerful embrace.
