Kagome slipped back into the future, lugging that colossal backpack she always carries around (What DOES she haul it around for? Is it like her teddy bear?)into the house. Today, her penpal was coming-within an hour to be exact- so everything unusual had to be put away and preparations made. "Would you like some more?" inquired Kagome's mom from the kitchen, amidst the gobbling and chewing, and thrown candy wrappers. 'Wait a sec.' thought Kagome. 'Mom never lets Souta pig out like that, and I'm missing a jewel shard. So'
She screeched, "SHIPPOUCHAN!" into the air worriedly. Answering her call, the kogitsune came bounding into the entryway, clutching a brownie in one hand and a jewel shard in the other. He had his face smeared with chocolate and a grin. Kagome looked at him with horror.
As if to break the uncomfortanle trance, the phone rang. Souta answered it. "Moshi moshi?" He said mechanically. He was used to that by now.
"hello?" said a highly accecented voice on the other end. "Yeah, is this the Higurashi residence? This is Tsuki, Kagome's penpal. We have arrived at the airport and are going to get ourselves a taxi right after I get my money exchanged for yen. We'll see you in a few minutes, thank you for letting us stay with you!"
The phone line went dead. There was no reason to keep on chatting though, as all of their questions were answered. There was a silence that was like having pins stuck through you. Everyone's eyes turned to Shippuo.
"YOU GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!" screamed Kagome and Souta in chorus. Mrs. Higurashi handed Shippou a goodie bag and sent him back to the well.
Souta and Kagome stared, horrified by the mess. There was a layer of chocolate wrappers on the floor and chocolate smeared on the counter. They had to clean this up in less than 15 minutes, maybe five.
"I-I'll get the trash bags", said Souta. Kagome nodded and took out some rags and Windex. They had both tamed the mess and sworn to never let Shippou eat chocolate ever again within 10 minutes. They were completely worn out.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Jiichan answered it. There stood two people, each holding a duffel bag. The taller one- about Kagome's height- had sweeping black hair down to her waist and calm, cool eyes that gleamed like sapphires. She wore a velvet peasant top that matched her eyes and long, flared khakis with black boots. The shorter one-half a head taller than Souta- had a dash of greasy black hair and black eyes that looked like drops of venom. He looked kind enough, though, in his white dress shirt and khakis, with high topped tennis shoes.
"So sorry Mr.Higurashi", stated the girl, removing her shoes. "Did we catch you at a bad time? Ah! How rude of me, my name is Momoyama Tsuki, and this is my ototto, Momoyama Yue. Pleased to meet you."
They bowed low and long to show their respect, and bowed for Souta and Kagome.
"I'll show you my room, that's where you will be staying." Kagome then led Tsuki to her room. Souta followed en suite.
When inside the room, Tsuki politely surveyed it and complemented Kagome's taste in colors.
Suddenly, something hit Kagome. 'A shikon shard!'. She eagerly surveyed the outside of her window, until her eyes fell upon Tsuki's neck. There it was, glowing brighter than she had ever seen a shard glow. Kagome stared in disbelief. 'How was this possible?!'

Nice stopping place, eh? Anyways, I figured out where Shippou was, to make up for his absence. Well, off to translate the 5th volume of Tokyo Mew Mew! Hohanna!
