~*~*~*Family Ties~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
By: Kitti
"SIT!!!"
*wham!!*
"I really have to go home! Inuyasha, this is a reason other than school! It's a family matter!" said Kagome, stalking toward the well.
"Wait, wench!" yelled a very aggravated hanyou, as he pried himself off the ground and jumped on the edge of the well, cutting the now fuming girl off, "What 'matters'?"
She sighed, setting her gargantuan bag down. "If you must know, it's my itoko. Her parents were killed in a car crash about a month ago, so she is coming from Osaka to stay with us."
Inuyasha was silent for a moment. "How long will you be gone?"
"A week, maybe two. Depends on her reaction, I guess."
"Whatever, but I'm coming to check on you in two days. These people must have been important to you for you to have such a sad aura."
"Ok, but you have to stay out of sight when you do." She really didn't feel like fighting right now. He was right. The death of her favorite ojisan and obasan was hard on her. It was her otosan's niisan after all. She felt close to him because of that.
"Fine! I'll see you in 2 days." said Inuyasha, leaping into the forest. Kagome watched him disappear into the dark trees before climbing on the wells ledge and jumping in. She sighed as the blue-white light engulfed her. She savored the brief warmth just before hitting the damp earth of the modern well house. She threw her back pack down on the floor. 'I'll get it later' she thought, climbing up the ladder and sliding open the well house door. It was about three o'clock judging by the position of the sun. 'Man, it's hot out! I need to change into summer clothes'. Her mind drifted. 'I wonder when she will get here? Probably tonight. God, I haven't seen her in, like, two years! I wonder how she would react to Inuyasha?' she giggled at that thought, ' If she is as crazy as last time, I wonder how Inuyasha would react to her!' She opened the door to her house "Mom, I'm home."
"Kagome, dear, look who came!" said her mom, hugging her. She looked at the girl in front of her.
"Hey, Kagome," raising her hand in greeting.
"Yuki! Its good to see you!" yelled Kagome.
"Yeah, good to see you, too" she said, smiling, but her eyes showed terrible sadness. These emotions played havoc with her emerald green eyes. Once Kagome got over the shock of seeing her eyes in those conditions, she noticed the rest of her tattered body. Her blonde hair that came down to her shoulders was messed up and her normally tan skin was ghost white. She looked like she hadn't eaten anything in a good two weeks. Sure, she was a year younger, but she shouldn't be that small! 'My goodness, the grief as really taken it's toll on her' thought Kagome. 'I hope I can make her feel better.'
"So Kagome," interrupted her mother, "why don't you take her stuff to your room?"
"Uh, yeah, good idea," she said walking over to grab one of Yuki's five bags. Yuki grabbed two more and began to haul them upstairs. "Well, what do you want to do?" asked Kagome.
"I don't care, whatever you want" she said with the same fake smile.
"Do you want to talk, about the accident I mean?"
"Nah, no use in that. I got to talk plenty to my shrinks." she said. Kagome opened the door to her room and threw the bag on her bed, Yuki doing the same with hers. She looked around the room – stopping her gaze at Kagome's desk.
"Well," asked Kagome, "do you want to do anything, like go to the mall or watch TV? We'll do anything you like."
"It's okay, Kagome-sempai, I'm fine." She continued looking at her desk. "Who's Inuyasha?"
Kagome gasped when she realized she had left a piece of paper she had doodled his name on out. "No one! Just a guy!" she stuttered. She put the paper back in the drawer.
"Um-humm" replied Yuki rolling her eyes. She stopped suddenly, her eyes wide before regaining her composure and turning around to the window.
"What's wrong?" asked Kagome.
"Power surge" she said, "no big deal." Kagome looked at her confused, then remembered her past experiences. 'Right, she's psychic! I almost forgot.' She looked at her back. "So, is it bad?"
"No, but it's harder to control now. How long has your miko gene been active?" she turned to face her itoko, who looked like she had just seen her own death.
"H-how did you know I was a miko?" she asked, "Did you read it in my thoughts?"
"What! You can't sense it? I'm a miko, too! I thought, since your gene activated before mine, you would have more power. Guess not."
"But how? I'm a reincarnation of a great miko from another time, so my powers are a given. How come you have powers, too?"
"Oh god, I guess since you lost your dad early on, he didn't tell you. The gene is carried on the male chromosone. Our fathers were brothers and carried the gene, so it was passed to us" she said in a 'I-can't-belive-you- didn't-know-this' tone.
"But how come no one else knew, like granma or obasan, or my okasan for that matter?" asked a now stunned Kagome.
"If you go back on our family tree, you'll see we are the first Higurashi girls to be born in three centuries! So it is totally natural that we get the active gene. As to this miko you are a reincarnation of, it is probably coinsodense you are her copy" she stopped quickly, "I don't mean that in a bad way!"
Kagome giggled though she was internally hurt. She knew Yuki didn't mean any harm by it, but she hated that fact, the fact that she looked like Kikyo. It hurt because that was the only reason Inuyasha liked her. 'I hate that jerk sometimes' she thought.
"Who? Inuyasha?" asked Yuki, curiosity now etched on her tired face.
"You read me? Why do you do that?" Kagome asked, a little ticked off.
"Sorry, don't be mad! It's just cause I'm used to using my ability's on everyone. I can at least attempt to control them if you would like."
"If you don't mind" she pointed to her head, "Most of what is in here is private."
"Ok, but can I ask you somthing?"
"Sure, whatever." she replied.
"How do you know you are a reincarnation of a miko?"
"Um.....well," she mentally kicked herself, 'How do I explain this?' she thought.
"Well, nevermind. I'm hungry. You can tell me later. But I do want to hear more about this Inuyasha! We will have so much fun for the next few months I'm here." She said beaming. Most of the saddness had been replaced with the crazy ditz she normally was. 'I'm glad she is feeling better. But how do I explain who Inuyasha is? Wait! If she will be living here for a while she will know I'm not really sick and find out anyway! Hmm.....maybe she can come with me since no one knows she is here yet! A little action would do her good. Besides, Inuyasha will protect her!' she thought about this all the way to the kichen. Yuki was sitting while her mother was fixing Yuki and herself a sandwich. 'I need to ask okasan though' she thought.
Suddenly, the front door could be heard opening. "Mom! I'm home!" yelled Kagome's little brother, Sota. The sound of foot falls and sliding into walls came closer to the kitchen until finally,.....
"Yuki! You're here!" yelled Sota running to her.
"Hello Sota!" she said hugging him, "It's good to see you!"
"Come play something with me." He said. She looked to her obasan, who handed her a plate with her sandwich on it and motioned for her to follow him. She did.
"You coming, nee-chan?" he asked.
"In a minute," Kagome said, "I need to talk to okasan first"
She heard the two in the living room then turnd to her mother, olny to be surprised yet again.
"Yes, she can go with you" her mother said quietly.
'How does she do that?' she questioned in her mind, then asked, "Your ok with that?"
"Inuyasha is there. What do I have to worry about?" she walked to the closet and pulled out a backpack similer to Kagome's only it had a pink tint to it. "I figured you would want her to go so I had this ready, just in case. Have her pack her stuff. You can leave in the morning, but you will have to explain things to her tonight,ok? The way her mind works, I don't think it will be to much of a shock."
Kagome stood there totally out of it. How does she always know what is going on? A different thought came to her head and she snapped out of her trance. "Um...okasan, can I ask you something?"
"You just did, but shoot." She said smiling
"You know I told you I have miko powers, right?" Her mom nodded. "Well, so does Yuki. Did otasan say anything about that before he died?"
Her mom shook her head, "I'm sorry, sweetie, he didn't. But I'm sure he must have known something.
Kagome sighed, "Ok, just curious. Arigato." She turned to go into the living room. She saw Sota and Yuki playing video gmes in there.
"Hey, Kagome-sempai! Come play!" yelled Yuki, clearly enjoying herself.
"Sure!" she answered, picking up a controller to her gamecube. That's how the rest of the night went. Games, dinner, games, snacks, games, and, of course, grandpa's lecture on being a miko, which was pretty much drowned out by games.
It was ten o'clock by the time they got tired. Sota had gone to bed at nine because he had school the next day. As the girls made their way to Kagome's room, her mom came out from making Yuki's bed. She grabbed Yuki and hugged her goodnight then doing the same to Kagome, except whispering in her ear, "Tell Inuyasha I said hi and tweak his ears for me!" she then walked off. Kagome stood there as Yuki walked tword her room, when realization suddenly hit.
"Yuki! No! Wait!" she yelled only to late, running after her.
"What?" Yuki asked and looked into the room, her eyes suddenly two sizes bigger. In front of her was a silver haired boy with weird clothes, sniffing her! Needles to say, she screamed. "KAGOME!! There is some freak with no fasion sense in your room!!"
"Yuki! Calm down. He is a friend" Kagome said. Yuki was now frantic as he grabbed her and clamped his hand over her mouth and wrapping the other around her waist, containing her arms. Unfortunatly for Inuyasha, her reaction was to bite his hand, hard! He jumped away, yelping and grabbing his hand, while Yuki made a dead run behind Kagome. She stood there watching the whole thing. Inuyasha turned to them, now noticing Kagome, who was a mix of emotions, anger showing greatest.
"What are you doing here!? You said two days! I've only been here for a few hours!" she screamed.
Inuyasha backed his ears at the tone of her voice, "Well exuse me for caring! Who is this wench? She smells weird."
That was all it took. "SIT BOY!" He plummeted to the floor in a flash of pink light and red cloth.
"What did I do!?" he yelled.
"You..." she stopped when she relized Yuki was doubled over laughing, tears of mirth running don her face. "That was great! Do it again!"
Kagome rolled her eyes, never the less, happy to see her like that. Inuyasha had pryed himself off her floor and was giving Kagome a 'Please no!' glance.
"Sorry, Yuki. I can't . He hasen't done anything." She said
"Damn straight, I didn't" he glared.
"Yet!" said Kagome, shattering his glare as she yet again struck a twinge of fear in his heart with the threat of the word. Yuki had gotten over her fits, finally, and proceded to approch Inuyasha.
"Who are you?" he asked gruffly.
She held out her hand "I'm Higurashi Yuki, Kagome's itoko. And I suppose you are Inuyasha." She made a circle around him, examining every odd detail, especially his hair and claws. Inuyasha eyed her the whole time yet made no attemt to stop her until....
"Oh my god! How cute!" she pointed at his ears, "Can I touch them?" he looked uneasily at her. "Or is that a Kagome only thing?"
He looked at her curiously 'How dense is she? Can't she tell I'm a demon? What is wrong with her?' he thought.
"You're a demon.So that explains why you look part cat. And I am not dense!" she piped.
"CAT!! I'm a inuyoukai! How dare you! I can't belive this.......Wait! Did you just hear my thoughts?" he asked.
"Um......yeah. I'm a psychic. It's a bad habit. Forgive me." She said, bowing slightly.
Yuki looked up at him, then Kagome, and back to Inuyasha before smiling miseviously. "You two got a thing for each other, huh?" she asked, smirking when they both blused uncontrolably, "Ha! That is so cute! You've got good taste in guys, Kagome!"
"Well," Kagome jumped in, "This will be a lot more easy to explain with you here, Inuyasha!"
"What do you mean?" he asked, raising an eyebrow to her.
"Help me explain our situation to her." She said, smiling sweetly.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because," she said shutting the door, "She needs to know if she is gonna live here." She sat on the bed, Yuki took the chair, and Inuyasha leaned against the wall. Kagome began to explain about the jewel, Inuyasha's past, and Naraku. She told some of the trips she went on with Inuyasha imputting here and there. She finally finished with telling her about the well and her friends on the other side, as well as her fake illnesses.
"Go grandpa," Yuki said sarcastically.
"You have no idea!" said Kagome.
"So, let me get this straight. You help Inuyasha get the shards of a scared jewel that you broke in a place full of demons which is actually the feudal era of Japan while fighting a big, bad demon named Naraku," she took a breath, "And I get to come help you, right?"
They both looked at her beaming face, jaws dropped.
"She has a big mouth. And you want her to come with us?" asked Inuyasha, dumfounded.
"Yes, that's the sum of it," she said, ignoring Inuyasha, "Your not scared?"
"No way! In fact, I'm gonna start packing now!" she jumped up and began to throw things she would need out of her bag. Inuyasha jumped in front of Kagome, making her gasp.
"Why do you want her to come with us? You putting her in danger, you know?" he said in a very serious voice.
"Yes, but look at how exited she is. She looked like she was dead when I saw her this afternoon. Look at her now!" she exclaimed. He looked at the energetic 15 year old bouncing around the room. He jumped on the window sill, but turned to Kagome before he jumped. "You know, I might not be able to protect her all the time."
"I have every faith that you will," she said, "If not, I'll just s-word you to hell and back!" she smiled. His eyes grew wide, but faultered when she laughed.
"I'm just kidding. But you will protect her, because I would seriously die if she did." Her face stayed passive throughout the sentence.
"I will, don't worry." He looked at Yuki, "So, she is a psychic, huh? Kinda like Goshinki."
"Yes, she has been since we were young. I also found out today she is a miko, too."
Inuyasha nearly fell out of the window. "What!? How is she one too? Are her powers advanced yet? Why didn't I smell it on her?" He asked all at once.
"I don't know, but how about I explain what I can tomorrow? I'm tired and need to get ready."
"Ok, I'll come get you tomorrw, then. Ja ne!" he leaped out the window.
"Ja ne, Inuyasha." She said quietly and turned, startled to meet the eager face of her itoko.
"You so have the hotts for him," she smiled, "You would make a cute couple!" she turned around and added, "By the way, you don't look at all like Kikyo. Take comfort in that."
"How do..." she started but was cut off.
"I caught glimpses in Inuyasha's head. Does he like her?" she knew he did, but wanted to hear it from Kagome's veiwpoint.
"He loves her. I left that out of the tale I told you." She blushed, her face serious with thought.
Yuki looked at her and thought, 'What's the point of being telepathic if you can't use it!' she saw a tear run down her itoko's face, 'WHAT IS SHE THINKING!!!'
"Kagome-sempai, watch this" she said with a small grin. She raised her hand twords a box of Klenex and concentrated. Kagome gasped as a tissue leaped out of the box and drifted over to her. "Don't cry, ok" said Yuki, "He'll come around. Why would he choose some dead chic over you?"
She giggled wiping off her face. "Thanks. Your powers have majorly advanced, huh?"
"Yeah, but I want to go to bed! I'll show you tommorrow what I can really do!" she said as she made her way to her futon.
"Yes, sounds good. You can change in the bathroom."
After they got changed, Yuki climbed in bed and Kagome turned off the lights, then got in her own bed.
"I *yawn* can't wait till tomorrow! I can finally get my mind *yawn* off certin things" said Yuki.
"Yeah, well, oyasumi Yuki" Kagome said turning to face the wall.
"Oyasumi, Kagome-chan. Thanks again."
But Kagome didn't hear. She was asleep, soon to be followed by a very anxious Yuki.
Any way, on with my new story!! Yay! OH! B.T.W.........Please review! I don't know what to change if you don't tell me!

"Help me explain our situation to her." She said, smiling sweetly.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because," she said shutting the door, "She needs to know if she is gonna live here." She sat on the bed, Yuki took the chair, and Inuyasha leaned against the wall. Kagome began to explain about the jewel, Inuyasha's past, and Naraku. She told some of the trips she went on with Inuyasha imputting here and there. She finally finished with telling her about the well and her friends on the other side, as well as her fake illnesses.
"Go grandpa," Yuki said sarcastically.
"You have no idea!" said Kagome.
"So, let me get this straight. You help Inuyasha get the shards of a scared jewel that you broke in a place full of demons which is actually the feudal era of Japan while fighting a big, bad demon named Naraku," she took a breath, "And I get to come help you, right?"
They both looked at her beaming face, jaws dropped.
"She has a big mouth. And you want her to come with us?" asked Inuyasha, dumfounded.
"Yes, that's the sum of it," she said, ignoring Inuyasha, "Your not scared?"
"No way! In fact, I'm gonna start packing now!" she jumped up and began to throw things she would need out of her bag. Inuyasha jumped in front of Kagome, making her gasp.
"Why do you want her to come with us? You putting her in danger, you know?" he said in a very serious voice.
"Yes, but look at how exited she is. She looked like she was dead when I saw her this afternoon. Look at her now!" she exclaimed. He looked at the energetic 15 year old bouncing around the room. He jumped on the window sill, but turned to Kagome before he jumped. "You know, I might not be able to protect her all the time."
"I have every faith that you will," she said, "If not, I'll just s-word you to hell and back!" she smiled. His eyes grew wide, but faultered when she laughed.
"I'm just kidding. But you will protect her, because I would seriously die if she did." Her face stayed passive throughout the sentence.
"I will, don't worry." He looked at Yuki, "So, she is a psychic, huh? Kinda like Goshinki."
"Yes, she has been since we were young. I also found out today she is a miko, too."
Inuyasha nearly fell out of the window. "What!? How is she one too? Are her powers advanced yet? Why didn't I smell it on her?" He asked all at once.
"I don't know, but how about I explain what I can tomorrow? I'm tired and need to get ready."
"Ok, I'll come get you tomorrw, then. Ja ne!" he leaped out the window.
"Ja ne, Inuyasha." She said quietly and turned, startled to meet the eager face of her itoko.
"You so have the hotts for him," she smiled, "You would make a cute couple!" she turned around and added, "By the way, you don't look at all like Kikyo. Take comfort in that."
"How do..." she started but was cut off.
"I caught glimpses in Inuyasha's head. Does he like her?" she knew he did, but wanted to hear it from Kagome's veiwpoint.
"He loves her. I left that out of the tale I told you." She blushed, her face serious with thought.
Yuki looked at her and thought, 'What's the point of being telepathic if you can't use it!' she saw a tear run down her itoko's face, 'WHAT IS SHE THINKING!!!'
"Kagome-sempai, watch this" she said with a small grin. She raised her hand twords a box of Klenex and concentrated. Kagome gasped as a tissue leaped out of the box and drifted over to her. "Don't cry, ok" said Yuki, "He'll come around. Why would he choose some dead chic over you?"
She giggled wiping off her face. "Thanks. Your powers have majorly advanced, huh?"
"Yeah, but I want to go to bed! I'll show you tommorrow what I can really do!" she said as she made her way to her futon.
"Yes, sounds good. You can change in the bathroom."
After they got changed, Yuki climbed in bed and Kagome turned off the lights, then got in her own bed.
"I *yawn* can't wait till tomorrow! I can finally get my mind *yawn* off certin things" said Yuki.
"Yeah, well, oyasumi Yuki" Kagome said turning to face the wall.
"Oyasumi, Kagome-chan. Thanks again."
But Kagome didn't hear. She was asleep, soon to be followed by a very anxious Yuki.
