Authors note: okay sorries again I'm very new to here and I didn't know it would be so short when I posted it. So so so SO sorry!!!!!!!
Okay I shall work really hard so I shall have a super long chapter for you to enjoy okay?
Kagome: hmmm what's up with the creepy yellow eyes?
Inuyasha: I told you she's crazy!
Kagome: oh Inuyasha stop over reacting its just a story!
Inuyasha: -mumbles something incoherently-
Camy:-sigh- you two……..are hopeless.
Inuyasha: oh yeah and sensei I do not have a tail because that gene actually skipped me and instead went to my brother Riko (a character camy made up) who has a wolf tail and wolf ears. Riko is also stronger than me, damn you CAMY!
"Oh no I'm late!" kagome said as she rushed down the hall to her classroom. The bell was due to ring any second and she knew she wouldn't make it. Her heals clicked on the hard floor as she ran and a few times she almost fell. She skidded to a halt outside her classroom door and as soon as she reached for the doorknob the bell sounded. Kagome sighed and opened the door, "well at least I was close." she mumbled to herself. She quietly took her seat as she listened to the teacher announce the next exam, and explained the rules.
Kagome looked at the test the teacher laid in front of her. It was her social study's class which was a bit easier for her than math but still boring, why did school have to be so complicated. She sighed and started on the test. After what seemed like an eternity the last bell rang for the day and they were finally aloud to leave. Kagome had no time to stay and chat with her friends today because she was still moving into her new house, and still had a lot of unpacking to do. So she said her good bye's then headed home.
She looked at all the boxes that had yet to be unpacked, "well here goes nothing" she said grabbing one of the boxes. It had the word kitchen on it in bold so she figured she would start with that first. After that she did the bathroom, then the bedroom. Pretty soon she had only one box left, the basement. She looked at her watch, "9:30, hmm not bad but" she picked the box up and set it by the basement stairs "this'll have to wait till tomorrow."
As kagome stood back up she felt a cold wind surround her body and that someone was watching her. She looked around but no one was there, so she just shrugged and went upstairs " I need some sleep" she said stifling a yawn I'm starting to imagine things". A ghostly presence swirled around the room like mist and then dissipated, going back to its hiding place for the night.
The next day was Saturday, kagome's favorite day. Luckily, because of the exams, she had no homework and was free to go somewhere. She had called every one of her friends but they had all told her the same thing "sorry kagome but I'm too busy."
Kagome shook her head as she grabbed her purse, she was going to have fun weather they were with her or not and what better place to have fun than the mall? She shut the lights off and grabbed her keys before shutting the door.
The mall was bustling with people and kagome found it hard to go into a store without being squished between the people and the windows and/or walls. After digging her way out of a store for the third time she was beginning to think it was time to go home. Then something caught her eye and she turned towards the object. It was located in a store that oddly enough had no customers. Deciding to give the mall one more chance she walked into the store
An old woman sat at the back of the store, she sat in an old rocking chair that creaked under her wait. Kagome approached her carefully, and cleared her throat.
"Um hello? Do you own this store?" kagome said as she reached the counter. At first the old woman didn't respond and kagome thought she hadn't spoke loudly enough, but when she opened her mouth to ask again the woman looked up and smiled.
"Aye child, what can I do for you?"
"Oh well um" kagome looked around "I've never seen this store before so I thought I might take a look around."
The old woman nodded and got up from her chair, her grey hair was tied back into a pony tail that reached just an inch above the floor and she was clad in an old style kimono that had a white top and a red skirt. One of her eyes was hidden behind a patch, and as kagome noticed when she got up the woman was rather short with a hunch in her back.
"This store" the old woman spoke "is a store full of items that have magical properties"
Kagome didn't believe in magic but decided to play along for the time being. "Really? What kind of magical properties?" she asked as the lady took her into a room she hadn't seen when she entered.
"My child, people don't just walk into this store by accident." The woman stopped and turned to her "The store calls them."
Kagome looked into her eyes and couldn't help shivering for some odd reason, magic wasn't real. It was just some thing that people made up to get kids to buy cheap trinkets and ridiculous stories of being able to tell the future, but looking at the old woman for a second she started to believe otherwise. The woman turned back around breaking her eye contact with kagome who stared after her as she continued to walk. Then she shook her head and muttered "ridiculous" incoherently.
She was about to catch up to the old lady when something once again caught her eye. Walking over to a large shelf she picked up a rather old looking stone. It was round and flat, only about an inch thick and smooth like marble. The shape resembled the Star of David with designs carved into it. In the middle was what looked like two dogs running one after the other, one chased the sun and the other pursued the moon.
"Ah, ye have a good eye child"
Kagome jumped startled by the old lady behind her and dropped the stone which rolled slowly to a stop at the woman's feet.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to drop it!" she apologized quickly, retrieving the fallen stone.
"It is all right I suppose I shouldn't have startled you like that." The woman paused, and then asked "are you familiar with the old legend of the gods skuld and hati?" when kagome shook her head the woman continued "in the olden days there lived two gigantic wolves. One was hati the other was skuld, hati was the chaser of the sun and skuld was the chaser of the moon. This is why day would turn to night and night to day; whenever hati would swallow the sun we had a solar eclipse. Whenever skuld swallowed the moon we had a lunar eclipse, and so people would bang on pots and pans to startle the wolves and spring the moon and sun back into the sky."
The woman pointed to the stone in kagome's hand, "this is a special relic that holds the power of those gods, but it will not work without the other piece."
"The…other piece?" kagome said looking down at the stone once again.
The old woman looked at her thoughtfully and smiled, "since it is your first time here how about I give that to you free of charge?"
Kagome looked up "no I couldn't I-I have no money left."
The lady shook her head "no need just take it"
"but-" before she could say anymore she found herself being pushed toward the exit. Once out of the store the lady stopped pushing her and she turned around to protest.
"But miss I- huh?" kagome stared the place she had just come out of. She blinked and looked around at the people who past by her, then she looked back towards the wall. W-where did it go? She thought staring blankly at the brick wall in front of her. The store was no longer there, it had vanished.
Ok that one was longer but still not long enough. –Sighs- don't worry though each new chapter from now on will be a page longer than the last promise kay? Please don't be mad at me! Review please!
