~Monday After School~
"Anything exciting happen today?" Hitomi asked, a little out of breath because she just came from gym class.
"Okay I guess, I got tons of homework though, and Hojo gave me this," Kagome showed Hitomi a green something and rolled her eyes, *sigh* "Hehe, that grandpa. Well how was your day?"
"My day? Okay, but I had to do extra laps during gym, and I just wish that I wasn't sick all weekend so I could just enjoy the free time while I still had the chance.
"Oh well, there's always next weekend."
Kagome and Hitomi walked home as usual and Hitomi was reflecting on what Kaede told Kagome to tell her about the Hisuiiro no Tama.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
%**FLASHBACK**%
"Ok, here goes," began Kagome, on Sunday night, "Kaede told me that the jade jewel, or Hisuiiro no Tama, was with her cousin, who was the keeper of it. Since I'm the reincarnation of Kikyou, and yes, I hate to say it, and you're MY cousin, so it'd be normal that it'd be reincarnated into you."
"Why'd Kaede have to take it out of my body though?" asked Hitomi.
"Well, it would've come out anyways, drawn out by a demon or whatever, this way is less painful." answered Kagome, "Back to the history lesson?" Hitomi nodded, "Okay, so the Hisuiiro no Tama is *like* the Shikon no Tama but they have their differences. Are you following?" Hitomi nodded again, " The Shikon no Tama is the jewel of four souls, and since I'm the keeper of it, when I shoot my arrows, they're arrows of the soul, they're all pink and glow-y, remember? I told you?" Hitomi nodded yet again, "So the Hisuiiro no Tama is sort of a jade, which is green, which represents earth and life etc. But with that life, can come death, so like the Shikon jewel, it can be poisoned and purified. When purified, it'll be a jewel of life, but when poisoned, it can and most likely will become a jewel of death. Hmm. What else did Kaede tell me? Well, she told me to tell you to be careful, but all that I just told you about the history should be all you need or something... I don't know. And I also doubt that Kaede knows much about the jewel anyways, but you're not alone. I don't know much about this jewel anyways, besides the fact that I shattered it, but it was an accident, so my advice to you is DON'T SHATTER THE JEWEL!" Kagome finished, and joked.
"This is scary stuff..." said Hitomi
"Heh, you'll get used to it," replied Kagome.

~They Arrived Home~
Kagome and Hitomi sat down in Kagome's room after greeting Kagome's grandpa, mom, Sota, and Naomi. They both dumped out their bags and started to crack down on their homework.
"Kagome?" asked Hitomi.
"Yeah, what," replied Kagome as she was opening her math book.
"I've just been thinking, what if im not fit to be the keeper of the jewel? I mean, you told me all about your journeys and stuff... but..."
"Don't worry," assured Kagome, "anyways, how's your arm?"
"Oh, it's better, this new cast is much more comfortable than the old one." replied Hitomi as she waved her casted arm around to show that it was moveable, it looked pretty much just like the stuff you would use to wrap a small sprain, "Dr. Jennifer said that it only needs one more week!"
"That's great!" cheered Kagome.
*Door Opens*
"Sis! Dog brother is here!" said Sota, and then he left the room.
"What about eh seal?" asked Hitomi.
"I guess, he just, broke through it..." replied Kagome. "Aww, and I was looking foreword to doing my homework," she added sarcastically.
"Heh. Just let me grab my bag and we'll go."
"Yeah, me too."
So the two cousins grabbed their stuff, said their goodbyes, and left the Higurashi house with Inu-Yasha.
"What now?" asked Kagome to Inu-Yasha.
"I was just sick of wasting all this time not looking for the Shikon Jewel shards." he replied, as he, Kagome, and Hitomi jumped into the well.
~Sengoku Jidai~
Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and Hitomi all appeared on the other side of the well and they started walking towards Kaede's hut to get the others. When they got there, Kagome got her bow, arrows, and quiver as Sango, Shippou, and Miroku got out of the hut. Shippou was holding something wrapped in a cloth. He walked up to Hitomi and handed it to her.
"What's this?" asked Hitomi to the little kitsune.
"A gift. Open it!" replied Shippou.
Hitomi accepted the gift with a bow and a thank you, and she kneeled down and put her bag beside her as she began to unravel the green cloth. Inside was a quality looking bow, quiver, and some arrows.
"It's a bow and arrow set!" said Shippou, proudly, "Do you like it? It's from all of us."
Hitomi was amazed at the gift they had given her, and they barely knew her too. She was overwhelmed with emotions.
"My oh my, thank you so much you guys!" said Hitomi as she got up holding the bow/arrow set and hugged everyone.
"No problem! Just enjoy it!" everyone said.
Hitomi put on her bag, the quiver with the arrows inside, and put the bow over her shoulder. She looked very nice with it.
"Let's go!" shouted an impatient Inu-Yasha.
"Ugh. Fine. Everyone ready?" asked Kagome.
Everyone nodded and they were off! Walking off on the pathway to the north, to continue where they left off before Kagome left. Shippou was on Kagome's shoulder, Kirara was on Sango's, Miroku was constantly trying to get the chance to grab Sango's butt, Inu-Yasha was walking, sort of mumbling to himself, and Hitomi was admiring her new bow and arrow set.
(~Hitomi's Memories~)
It reminded her of when she took archery lessons in old town. She ended up having to quit a year before because the classes were taking up time that she needed to do her homework. Her parents didn't want to give her the money for her archery classes because they thought it wasn't necessary, but she and her parent's had deal, they would let her go, but she'd have to come up with the money herself and it couldn't interfere with her school work. She started taking her lessons about 6 years before, when she was about 9 years old. She had gotten a job working in her parent's friend's flower shop. Somehow, she managed to find time to work, take her archery lessons, AND keep up with her schoolwork. Over the years, schoolwork got harder and more time consuming so she ended up having to quit her archery lessons, but it didn't really matter to Hitomi anyways, she was at the top of her class and at the top level.
(~End Hitomi's Memories~)
"Inu-Yasha, I sense a HUGE jewel shard," said Kagome.
"Yeah, and I smell blood and... NARAKU!" replied Inu-Yasha, he must be attacking another village.
"Let's go!" everyone shouted, as they ran off into the direction that Inu-Yasha and Kagome was headed.

Author's Note: I haven't forgotten that Hitomi has a cast on her arm, so decided to throw it in this chapter, it's just that it's not really a significant part the story. So Hitomi's been at Kagome's for a week or two, and she's still adjusting. Keep R&Ring, and yes, I uploaded the first 3 chapters all at once. I find it catches more readers when there's more than just one chapter to read. And I would like to thank my first (and only) reviewer [again], SniperGirl212, but I could've sworn it was Sessgirl212, but whatever. THANK YOU SO MUCH! YAY! MY FIRST REVIEWER! [LOL I sound desperate.]
Anyways, I think my chapters are little short, but spaced out [re: a/n at top of page.], please tell me if you want them longer or shorter, more or less spaced out. Okay, *winks*, well bye!
