The Bet And Faith
Chapter two:
Moving in
It was all quiet in Inu-Yasha's room. Curtain was before the window and didn't let the light get into the room. That was something that Inu-Yasha liked. It was Sunday morning so nothing would make him get out of the bed.
"Wake up Inu-Yasha. " Sesshomaru told him as he stepped into the room and opened the curtain.
The room went all light and Inu-Yasha had to put his hand before his eyes. Otherwise the light would have hit them and hurt them.
"What in the name of---" He didn't even have the time to say his sentence to the end when cold water was poured on him. "Aaaagh!" Inu-Yasha jumped out of his bed. He jumped and clapped his sides with his hands.
"What's the big idea, Sesshomaru?!"
"Our help is needed" Sesshomaru lifted his shoulder indifferently.
'He's back to his normal self again.' Inu-Yasha thought in his mind as he glared at the older brother. He started to pull his shirt on. But as his shirt touched his skin he could feel the cold water on it. Maybe the other Sesshomaru would have been better... "Who needs?"
"Higurashis."
'Higurashis? Didn't my teacher told us last Friday that we're going to have a new student named Kagome Higurashi?' Inu-Yasha wondered how did he even remember something like that. As if he would care. "Why do they need our help?" Jeans on.
"They're moving. Can't you remember? I told you about it."
Inu-Yasha glared at Sesshomaru for a moment. "You mean that this 'Higurashi' is the family that has the girl that you wrote to?" Inu-Yasha asked with unbelieving tone in his voice. Sesshomaru nodded to him. 'I hope that 'Kagome' isn't the girl. Teacher told that she's two years younger than us, than me! That makes her four years younger than Sesshomaru!' "But why do we have to go and help them? Why me too?"
"They need strong men to help them. She asked me to come and help and mother told me to take you too."
"Okay, okay. I come." He didn't want to fight about this with his mother... Sesshomaru left the room. Inu-Yasha walked right after him and they went down the stairs and to the door.
"Inu-Yasha-dear, don't you eat breakfast?"
"No thanks, Mom!" Inu-Yasha took his jacket and stepped outside.
"Remember to be polite!"
"Yes, Mom!" Inu-Yasha shouted back. That made him feel like a little kid. Mother giving him advice like that...
It was a sunny day. No clouds. No rain. Sesshomaru walked before Inu-Yasha. After all Inu-Yasha wasn't really happy about this. He'd rather be in his bed and sleep. The morning sun quickly dried his still little wet skin. 'Damn that Sesshomaru. I'll get him for this....'
***At the shrine, Higurashis***
There was a big truck in front of the shrine's stairs. Those huge stairs. This wasn't going to be a little job.
'Why did I ever say 'okay'.' Inu-Yasha kicked a rock. He lifted his gaze and saw a black haired girl walking toward them. 'That must be Kagome then. She sure looks older than she is.'
"You must be Sesshomaru." She more like said than asked when she was face to face with Sesshomaru.
"And you must be Kikyo."
'What?!' Inu-Yasha looked at them. 'She isn't Kagome? Who's this Kagome then...'
"This is Inu-Yasha. You remember, my little brother." Kikyo just nodded as a sign of remembering.
"Can you see that girl with book over there, halfway of the stairs?" Kikyo asked and pointed at a dark-haired-girl. Sesshomaru nodded. Inu-Yasha looked in that direction and saw that girl.
"She's my little sister Kagome."
'So she is Kagome.' He switched his gaze to Kikyo and then back to Kagome. 'They sure looks like same.' He switched his gaze between these girls. 'Kikyo is only more curvy.'
"Shall we start?" Kikyo asked. Sesshomaru walked after Kikyo to the truck. Inu-Yasha followed them but he had his gaze on Kagome. There was something familiar in her.
Kagome felt how someone looked at her. She stopped her reading and looked to the truck. There was two white-haired-guys. Other one of them was talking with Kikyo. 'That must be Sesshomaru...' She thought as she moved her gaze at the other one who was looking straight to her. Their eyes met. Those golden eyes watched at her blue ones. Quickly Kagome turned her face back to her book. 'What is his problem? Do I have something on my face?' She returned to read her book and immediately forgot about someone staring at her as she climbed the stairs.
Inu-Yasha saw how Kagome turned her gaze of her book at them. First to Kikyo and Sesshomaru and then at him. Their eyes met. She had dark blue eyes. He had never seen eyes like that. She turned her head and started to climb the stairs. He let it be and turned his gaze and attention to the other two with him.
"You can just start to take these boxes up the stairs and into the house. My Mother and Grandfather tells then where you can put them in the house." The brothers nodded to Kikyo.
Kikyo took one of the lighter ones. Inu-Yasha and Sesshomaru just took the ones before them and started to walk with them after Kikyo.
***Few hours later***
"I think we have now all of the boxes up here, thank you Sesshomaru and Inu- Yasha." Mrs Higurashi thanked the brothers.
'So, His name is Inu-Yasha.' Kagome peeked from behind her book. She was sitting on a stair in the living room, when the others were in the next room, kitchen. Still she could see them clearly from where she was. There wasn't a door between the kitchen and the living room.
"Would you like a cup of tea or coffee or maybe something else?"
"I have to go back home to make my homework." Inu-Yasha told as an excuse for him to leave. He left the house and went home.
"I could take a cup of coffee, please." Sesshomaru said and sat down beside Kikyo at the dining table. Mrs Higurashi started to make some tea and coffee.
***At the coffee table***
"I heard that you're in the same school as my girls are going to attend."
"That's true, Mrs Higurashi. Inu-Yasha is too. In fact, he's in the class that Kagome is going to join. Kikyo is joining the same class with me." Sesshomaru informed.
'So, he's in my new class. So my luck...' Kagome thought as she sipped her tea.
There was knocking on the door.
"I get it!" Kagome jumped from her chair and ran to the door. She didn't really like that kind of boring conversations. There was a black haired girl with a basket behind the door with a basket in her other hand.
"Hello! My name is Sango. I'm from that house next to yours." She smiled and pointed at the house on the left (from the point of the road).
"I'm Kagome. Nice to meet you." She smiled too and they shook hands.
"My mother made some cookies to your family. Hope you like them!" She gave the basket to Kagome. Kagome took it gladly from her. It wasn't so often that you get this kind neighbours. "Thanks! I'm sure that they are good. Say, you like to come in? We're sipping some coffee and tea in the kitchen."
"Umm... Okay." Sango nodded to Kagome little unsure.
"Umm. Okay." Kagome moved the door so that she would have room to go before her. Then she shut the door and lead Sango to the kitchen.
"Mom, Grandpa, Kikyo, this is our new neighbour Sango. Her Mother sent us some cookies."
"Hello Sango!" Mrs Higurashi greeted. Kikyo and Grandpa only nodded as a hello.
"You're on Inu-Yasha's class aren't you, Sango?" Sesshomaru asked turning around in his chair to face Sango." Sango hadn't noticed Sesshomaru before that.
"Yes Sesshomaru."
"That means your in my new class right?" Kagome asked hopefully.
Sango nodded. "At least that is what our teacher told us."
"Do you want some tea or coffee?" Kagome asked from Sango.
"No thank you."
"Well, I'm ready with my tea. Do you want to help me to arrange my room?" Kagome hoped that she would say yes. That way she could get out of the kitchen and maybe get a new friend.
"Umm... I could.... If you're sure that you want my opinion in it."
"You can't have that bad taste!" Kagome giggled and took Sango to the living room.
"We must take these two boxes to my room upstairs. They aren't heavy. Sesshomaru and Inu-Yasha already took the heavy ones to the right places."
"Was Inu-Yasha here?"
"Yes, he was here but he said he had homework to do so he left after we were ready with the boxes."
"Funny, we didn't get homework."
Kagome sighed. "I don't really like him. There is something that disturbs me in him." Kagome said when she took other one of the boxes. Sango took the other one. They went upstairs and there turned right. The room at the end of that short corridor was Kagome's new room.
"This is then my new room." Kagome told as she opened the door. She stepped first in and let down the box on the floor. Sango did the same.
"I think we have to build the furniture first." Kagome told to Sango. "You don't have to if you don't want."
"It's okay. I like to build furniture." Sango smiled and looked around. "It's best to start from the little ones. Let's build the bed as a last one." Kagome just nodded to her.
'She knows what she is doing.' That made her smile. 'Better than a useless idiot!'
They started to build Kagome's table. After it they made the cloth closet and then as the last one, the bed.
"Would you like to have some juice? At least I'm thirsty."
"Yes please!" Sango thanked and cleaned her sweat.
***After drinking juice and arranging Kagome's stuffs***
"Thank you very much for your help!" Kagome could almost hug her as a thank you.
"It's okay. I liked it. It's been a long time since I last time arranged a room. We could arrange someday my room too!" Sango smiled.
"Of course!" Kagome looked outside of her window. "It's almost dark already."
"It's okay. My parents knows that I'm good at making friends and bad habited to get caught of my mouth." That was nice to hear for Kagome.
"I think outside is a nice temperature. We could go out for a walk. I could show you this area." Sango suggested.
"That would be wonderful!" Kagome jumped. She was lucky that she had Sango as a new neighbour.
They went out for a tour. Sango showed some homes like Inu-Yasha's and some popular places of pupils to hang out.
***Before Kagome's shrine's stairs***
"Thank you so much Sango! I owe you so much!"
"It's okay. It was my pleasure."
They were silent for a while. It was a nice silent. Not an uncomfortable one.
"By the way. You want me to take you to school?" Sango asked
"That would be nice. We can go with my car!"
Sango blinked her eyes few times. "You have a car of your own?"
"Yes. It's that red one behind me." Sango looked behind Kagome at the red car. It was clean and shiny. Like a new.
"Here we usually get car when we are over 20 years. I don't have a car."
"It's okay. You can ask me to drive you if you need a ride. It's the least I can do for all your help!" Kagome smiled.
"Hey, cool!" Sango looked at her house. "It think we should go home now. School starts at 8.30 on Monday so I'll come to your house at 8.15. I think 15 minutes is enough if we go with a car!" Sango shouted to her as she ran home.
"Yes sir!" Kagome went home too.
A/N: I hope this was more better chapter than the first one. It takes a while before the real thing starts, but I try to write quickly. If there are any readers. Next chapter is 'The first day at school'. I don't think it is even interesting. I don't know. Haven't wrote it yet :P
