Mizuki Tsukiyomi Notes: Here is chapter 3! He-he, I actually had planned to update it two days ago but things in school got in the way and had to finish certain things. But anyways, thank you all who have read and reviewed! Greatly appreciate it!

This chapter doesn't contain much, but just Kagome meeting Ichigo's family. The next chapter is where the real thing begins!

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 3: Runaway Wish


Opening the door, he scratched the back of his head: "I'm hom-," before he could finish his sentence: "You're late!"

He found himself on the floor after feeling a sudden harsh kick to his face. "Do you know what time it is, you delinquent? You should know by now that dinner is at seven o' clock sharp! Don't you keep your family waiting!"

"What the hell!" shouted Ichigo as he stood eye level to his father. "Is that how you greet your son after he helped a ghost and-," once again, he was cut off: "No excuses! You live under my roof! So you follow my rules! Break them and you must bleed!"

"What?" exclaimed Ichigo. "That doesn't even make freaking sense!"

While both males argued, a girl no more than ten years old with short caramel hair blinked at the sight of an unknown teen standing by the door way. The girl looked around Ichigo's age and had the longest hair she had seen. Not to mention, her blue eyes amazed her for the fact that she looked one hundred percent Japanese.

The unknown teen seemed to be surprised by her father's and brother's bickering and not even noticing the other two twins starring at her.

Looking behind her shoulder, she saw her other sister eating from her bowl of rice: "Psst, Karin," catching the ebony girl's attention, she pointed towards the door way: "Onii-chan brought a guest."

The named girl, Karin, looked over and saw the same sight as her sister, Yuzu. A sigh passed her lips and closed her eyes: "Otou-san, if I were you, I'd behave. Seems like we have a guest in the house."

After her words went through Isshin's ears, he quickly kicked Ichigo out of the way only to see the girl standing straight and still. Rushing towards her, he gave her a smile: "Oh, sorry I didn't notice you! You must forgive my delinquent child over here."

"Hey!" shouted Ichigo on the side.

Kagome shook her head: "Oh no, it's quite alright." She gave him a bown: "My name is Higurashi Kagome."

"Nice to meet you Kagome-chan!" Isshin's smile grew: "I have no idea how he managed to get a girl as pretty as you back to his house! I would have run away from him!"

"Shut up!" growled Ichigo. "She's a girl I helped out from being taken by idiots."

"I thought you said you helped a ghost," Isshin gave him a suspicious look.

"Well, maybe if you would of let me finish my sentences you would of known that whole stor-!" for the second time, he was interrupted as he watched his father looking at Kagome's arm.

"What's this? What happened to your arm?" His eyes scanned over her wounded arm and soon landed onto Kagome's blue orbs.

"This? It's nothing. I fell on top of broken glass while trying to yank my arm away from those idiots your son mentioned," Kagome smiled. "No big deal."

Grabbing the first-aid kit inside the cabinet in the kitchen, he walked over to Kagome: "I brought her back to clean her wounds. I told her it was the least I could do."

Isshin soon gave a loud laugh, surprising them both: "Son! I could clean them for her!"

"Uh," Ichigo gave him the bored look: "no."

"Onii-chan, I think you have a new friend," whispered Yuzu, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"W-What?" exclaimed Ichigo. He soon noticed a spirit roaming around him with a grin on his face. "Ugh! I told you guys not to bother me!" Waving the box around, he tried to hit the spirit and was soon stopped a hand on his shoulder. Looking at the owner of the arm, he was surprised to see Kagome with her smile still glued onto her face.

"No need to hurt him."

He sighed: "You're too nice to people. Come on, I'll take you to my room," he passed by her. "Maybe it will get quieter there."

Kagome bowed thanks to his family and smiled at the girls sitting on the table. Following behind, Karin's eyes glided on Kagome's every movement. 'That girl…there is something weird about her. She saw the ghost just like onii-chan. Whatever…'

"Oi! Onii-chan! What about dinner?" asked Yuzu with a scream. She soon heard the door slam, not even a reply was given.

"Seems like onii-chan meet a girl that has the same talent as him," spoke Karin as she continued to eat.

"She can see ghost?" exclaimed Isshin.

"Looks like it," she replied.

"Hm, she is very pretty," smiled Isshin. He ran up to a huge poster of his late wife: "Masaki! It seems like the heavens have a sent a girl to capture our son's heart!"

"Take that freaking poster off!" shouted Karin.

"Both of you eat your dinner!" scolded Yuzu as she stuffed herself with rice.


"You can sit on my bed," spoke Ichigo as he closed the door behind them.

Walking over, she looked around his room and noticed it was normal to her standards. 'His whole room is filled of his spiritual energy. Does he not even feel the pressure here?'

"Are you okay?" cutting through her thoughts, she turned around: "Yeah."

Ichigo began to take out the necessary equipment and walked over to the mysterious girl. "Let me see," he spoke as he kneeled down and saw Kagome showing her fully bare arm to him. "Not too bad. Just a few bandages and you will be fine."

Kagome nodded: "Your family sure are a happy bunch."

"It gets annoying sometimes," he rolled his eyes.

"Don't say it like that," she giggled. "I can see you all love each other very much."

"Well, of course we do," he whispered.

"I wish I had that kind of love or someone would love me like that," her eyes dropped down to see Ichigo placing the first bandage.

"Where is your family?" he questioned suspiciously. "Wouldn't they be worrying about you right now?"

There was no quick response. Looking up, he saw Kagome avoiding eye contact.

"Are you not going to reply?"

Kagome sighed and closed her eyes: "I ran away from…home."

"You…ran away?" he repeated in question.

She nodded: "I-I…am in danger. I had to run away…I had to…I had no one to go to."

Ichigo didn't reply.

"C-Could I please stay here…at least for a day? Please?" her eyes held fear and he could see it right away.

'She ran away…?'
