The North Pole was a strange place. It had a vast collection of trinkets and toys, but perhaps the strangest thing of all was the person North appointed to guard his workshop.
Jack Frost and the other guardians were gathered in what appeared to be North's living room. They sat around an oval coffee table that sat against the fire, celebrating the defeat of Pitch Black, also known as the boogeyman.
"I still can't believe I was never able to break into this place," Jack muttered.
North's ears perked up, "Break in? What do you mean break in?" He asked, Russian accent spiking heavily.
"Oh," Jack waved him off. "Nothing."
Suddenly a large crash was heard from North's workshop. Yelling soon followed in a voice that was obliviously female. "JUST BECAUSE A KID ASKS FOR IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GOTTA MAKE IT, YOU IGNORANT BASTARD! WHO THE HELL TOUGHT YOU TO MAKE SEX TOYS ANYWAY!" Whoever was yelling it was so loud that every single person inside the sitting room heard every word, loud and clear.
North sighed and placed his cup of hot cocoa down on the table, "Excuse me, just be a minute." Nicholas St. North made his way down to his workshop and left his friends in silence- they were confused to say the least.
Not even five minutes later, North came back up the stairs with a struggling female over his shoulder. She was a small thing with ebony black hair that fell to her bum and crystal clear blue eyes. She wore black skin tight pants that hugged her every curve and a pale blue long sleeve shirt that was rolled up to her elbows. Yet the odd part about this girl was the conversation she was having with Santa Claus.
"North! Put me down, you asshole!" She squirmed over his shoulder, only making him hold onto her legs tighter.
"No, I don't need you mauling the Yetis!"
"I wasn't gonna kill him! I was only gonna kick his ass and then heal him. You saw what that idiot was making! What kind of perverted kid asks for something like that!"
North engorged the woman and plopped her down on the couch. "Sit." The raven haired female pouted but ultimately listened. "Stay here, I have to go clean your mess. Jack," North turned to him. "Don't let her out of your sight." After one more warning glance towards the blue clad woman, North made his exit. Ultimately deciding to deal with his friends after the fact.
"Umm, what?" Jack stuttered, but the father of Christmas was already gone.
"Well," the woman muttered. "That could have gone better." Four sets of eyes snapped towards her.
"Who are you?" Jack breaks the silence.
"Ah, I'm Kagome. And sorry about the having to watch me." The ravenette, who was now known as Kagome, introduced herself. She scratched the back of her neck and smiled in apology.
This immediately had Toothina flying over and inspecting Kagome's teeth. "Oh my! They're beautiful!" Her mini fairies flying around her in excitement.
"Uh, thanks?" Kagome said, but it was muffled by Tooth's hands.
"Tooth," North said, entering back into the room. "Fingers out of mouth."
"Sorry," The fairy smiled sheepishly. "They're just so pretty!"
"Don't apologize, you were just excited." Kagome countered, making the fairy beam at her. Kagome smirked and turned her head towards North. "So, how do you want to go about this?"
"What do you mean?"
Kagome sighed and gestured towards the four other people sitting in the room. "Hello! Are you blind or something?"
"You explain." Was his short reply before taking a sip of cocoa.
Kagome glared at him. "What the hell am I supposed to say?! Hi, I'm Kagome and I'm the reason why the north pole is impossible to infiltrate! Yeah, that'll go over well." She suddenly remembered the other presences in the room. "Shit."
"Wait a minute!" Jack exclaimed. "I thought you looked familiar."
A light bulb went off in Kagome's head. "Oh, now I remember. You're that boy with the ice powers who thought he could beat me. Jack Frost, right?" At his nod, Kagome continued. "You know, I almost miss you trying to break in. It gave me something to do."
"Sorry but I guess you're gonna have to stay bored. I'm a Guardian now." Jack Frost gloated.
"Yeah, I know," Kagome deadpanned, what did they think she lived under a rock or something? The room fell into an awkward silence for a few seconds until Kagome decided to break it. "Hey Jack, you wanna have a rematch?"
The white haired boy smirked, "Hell yeah I do."
Less than 20 minutes later Kagome and the rest of the Guardians were gathered in the basement for Jack's rematch with Kagome. The basement was set up kind of like an apartment. It actually was Kagome's apartment, though she and North called it her living quarters.
Soon Kagome and Jack sat facing each other, the battle beginning…
Kagome moved her pawn forward one space, then Jack smirked and took his turn. The sound of wood hitting wood echoed through the strangely quiet room, which lasted for around ten minutes before Jack let out a cry of anguish and fell onto the floor. Another groan left the newly appointed guardian's mouth, "Damn it! I really thought I had you this time."
"Haha! I win again! That's 100 to nothing!" Kagome cheered, doing what appeared to be a victory dance.
Meanwhile, the other guardians stood there confused and frankly, in a mild state of shock. Judging from Kagome's temper they witnessed when she was going to try and maul one of North's yetis they expected something a little more violent. But instead they got a simple game of chess…
And that was how the Guardians met Kagome, the immortal spirit North befriended a couple centuries ago, who kept unwelcome intruders out of Santa's Workshop.
