Chapter 4:The end-of-school year Excursion

Today is the last month of Harry and Kagome in Sacred Primary School.During this month,everyone gets to go on an excursion.This year,they are going to the zoo.Kagome and Harry who were the only ones in class that has never been there was thrilled.Gordan and Dudley would be going to Yono High while Harry and Kagome would go to Shikon High.Yono High was a school that Uncle Vernon studied in when he was at their age.Their school trip would be on the next day.The parents and guardians of the pupils are allowed to go too and Uncle Vernon,Aunt Petunia,Aunt Drella and Uncle Illiana are going with Dudley and Gordan.They would not let Harry and Kagome go.They were always sent to:Grandma Cabbage for Harry and Grandma Sickle for Kagome.They do not like it there.In fact,they hated them.They do not meet though.

This time however,Harry and Kagome were lucky.The Grandmas either had a broken leg or a fever.When the Dursleys and the Flannys knew about it,their faces went black while Harry's and Kagome's shone brightly.They then decided to bring them but they gave them a warning:"Any funny business,and no more excursions FOREVER."

Then they went to the zoo.When Harry told the Dursley's that he dreamt of motorbikes flying.When Uncle Vernon heard this,he fell off his seat and shouted, "MOTORBIKES DON'T FLY!!!!!!!!"Everyone on the bus looked at him.Kagome laughed.Harry heard Kagome laugh and wanted to laugh too but he suppressed it.Kagome got scolded by Uncle Illiana.Uncle Vernon blushed red and quickly got back to his seat.He forgot about punishing Harry which he was plotting when he was still on the ground until Kagome laughed."Saved by a laugh,"thought Harry.

After half an hour later they reached the zoo.The Dursleys bought Harry a cheap lemon ice lolly and a chocolate ice-cream for Dudley.But Harry didn't care.He thought that this was good enough,better than Kagome whom he felt sorry for.He doesn't know why but he felt familiar with her.He thought he had seen her somewhere before but couldn't quite remember.It's the same with Kagome.She thought she had seen Harry before.Kagome could recognise his scar and thought of her own.She hid her scar under her fringe because the Flannys wanted her to hide the scar undernearth her fringe.And thus,they let her keep her hair long.They went to the Amphibians and look around.A man with a top hat bowed to Harry.Harry who was with the Dursleys,the Flannys and Kagome were shocked .The Aunts,Petunia and Drella saw this and quickly walked out with the families.They went to see many animals.Then the guide won them all a Night Safari tour.So they stayed.

They stayed and went to the night reptilian.There,it was dark and cool.Dudley and Gordan quickly found the largest snake there.It look like thrice of Uncle Vernon,Uncle Illiana,Aunt Drella,Aunt Petunia,Dudley and Gordan put together.But sadly,the snake was sleeping.Dudley shouted to Uncle Vernon,"Dad,make it move."Uncle Venon knocked on the glass and shouted,"Move."The snake did not move and a zookeeper who looked like Sango came over and told Dudley and Uncle Vernon to not knock on the glass.Kagome suspected it was Sango.Dudley soon lost interest in it and went to see other snakes.Harry went to see the snake while Kagome was being pulled into the enclosure by another keeper who looked like Miroku.He handed her a piece of meat and instructed her to feed the snake.Kagome said,"Come here boa constrictor for your food,"in a friendly way.The snake came to her and ate the meat.Then it said thank you to Kagome as she said you are welcome.The boa constrictor returned to its original place.Kagome went to the rest room to wash her hands.Miroku had a blank expression on his face.

"I get that knocking my glass often,"the snake said to Harry."I know,"Harry murmured through the glass."It must be really annoying."The snake nodded its head vigorously."Where do you come from,anyway?"Harry asked.The snake jabbed its tail at a little sign next to the glass.Harry peered at in it.Boa Constrictor,Brazil."Was it nice there?"a new voice asked.Harry turned around and saw Kagome.Kagome walked towards the enclosure and stood beside Harry.After getting over the shock,the snake jabbed its tail at the sign again and Harry and Kagome read on:This specimen was bred in the zoo."Oh,I see-so you've never beeen to Brazil?"said Kagome.Sango who was watching with a puzzled look walked away.(Take it that Sango and Miroku doesn't know about Kagome's powers.)

Just then a two-tailed cat bounded towards Kagome."Kirara!"Kagome said as she hugged the cat.Then Sango called the cat away.

As the snake shook its head remembering the question,a deafening shout behind Harry and Kagome made the three jump(including the snake)."Dudley!Mr Dursley!Look at what that snake is doing."Dudley pushed Harry and Kagome.Kagome saw that Harry was going to hit a pole and she did a turn.She hit her head on the pole and fell to the floor unconscious with Harry on top of her still conscious('Cause Kagome help him lah).He blushed and quickly got up.Harry held Kagome in his arms and tried to revive her but couldn't.He was angry at Dudley then,it happened.A minute ago,Dudley and Gordan were leaning on the glass and the next,the glass had gone and they had fallen into the enclosure.The boa constrictor began uncoiling itself and slithered off to Harry and Kagome and said,"Brazil,here I come...Thanksssssss,amigos,"and slithered off snapping playfully at the heels of the people.

There was choas in the reptile house and the keeper of the house was shocked that the glass had gone.Sango and Miroku(the zookeepers) who had just returned were shocked.They then spotted Harry holding on to an unconscious Kagome.They ran to them and Sango immediately inspected Kagome.Miroku pulled the worried looking Harry for questioning."What happened here?"Miroku demanded."We were talking to the boa constrictor when Dudley pushed us.And Kagome saw that I was going to hit a pole,she did a flip and she hit her head and became unconscious.Then I fell on her,and Dudley and Gordan fell into the cage,"explained Harry."How is she Sango?"Miroku asked to the worried looking Sango.Kagome woke up ust as Miroku finished asking.The zoo manager called a doctor to examine Kagome while he made a cup of sweet tea to console all of them.He apologised to them and he provided them with a bus to go home.They left swearing to never return to that zoo except Harry and Kagome.They were the only ones who enjoyed the whole excursion.

They finally know each other but will they know more about each other or become enemies?Stayed tuned for the next chapter:Letters from No One
