At Least We Have Each Other

Ch.2- The Barrier Breaks
Hitomi Higurashi closed her eyes as the children at school threw rude comments at her. It wasn't anything unusual to her. The children at school were humans, unlike Hitomi and Hiroshi, who were hanyous. The twins hated it, but only their parents cared. Everyday was the same thing: The kids at school teased them, pulled their little hanyou ears (I love the thought of little hanyou kids. It's so kawaii!), and the twins fought back. Only Hitomi and Hiroshi got in trouble.
They didn't really care, though. As long as they had each other, they knew they were stronger than any human in the world. Whenever they got home, they were expected to clean around the shrine with their great-grandfather. They never cared. They loved hanging around him, listening to his interesting stories about how their parents saved the feudal era at the other side of the shrine. But it was all sealed up now.
One day, as Hitomi, Hiroshi, and their great-grandfather were sweeping up around the shrine, Hiroshi grabbed the ribbon that was in his sister's hair and ran to the well. Hitomi ran to the well to take back her ribbon. When she got up to her brother, they began fighting. They stopped when they heard the sound of glass breaking from inside the well. They leaned in towards the well and just as their great-grandfather walked in, a giant spider-like creature jumped through the well and grabbed Hitomi and Hiroshi. The twins screamed as the creature drug them through the well, to another world.
The world they were brought to was all green with a village full of cabins. The creature kept holding onto Hitomi and Hiroshi, never letting go until a large fireball flew the air and killed it, making the twins fall to the ground. "Itai." They muttered as they hit the ground. The creature fell to the ground next to the kids, dead. Hitomi and Hiroshi screamed as the blood began pouring out onto the dirt.
Just then, they were met with another creature, but this one wasn't trying to kill them. This creature was a fox demon with reddish hair and dark eyes. The demon walked up to Hitomi and Hiroshi and lifted them onto their feet. "Arigato." The twins said, bowing. "Doitashimashite. My name is Shippo. May I ask your names?" The demon answered. "I am Hiroshi Higurashi." Hiroshi said bravely. "I am Hitomi Higurashi." Hitomi said quietly.
Shippo stopped and stared at them in surprise as he asked the two children, "Higurashi? Are you Inu-yasha and Kagome's children?" Hitomi and Hiroshi nodded. Shippo smiled and said, "Come with me." He held out his hands to the twins.
At first Hitomi and Hiroshi didn't know if they should go with this stranger. They just met him and didn't really know him, but he knew their parents and saved their lives. Then they remembered the stories that their mother told them about how they saved the feudal era and that one of the heroes was named Shippo. Hitomi and Hiroshi each grabbed one of Shippo's hands as he led them to a nearby village.
The people of this village were like the people in present Japan. Everyone stared at the two children as they walked down the dirty roads until they finally stopped in front of an average sized house to meet Kaede. Hitomi and Hiroshi didn't know anyone named Kaede, but their mother said that she was a nice elderly lady (I don't use the term *old lady* often) from the feudal era. Shippo asked the twins to wait outside as he went inside to get Kaede. Hitomi and Hiroshi nodded as Shippo went inside and closed the door of the house.
The second the door closed, a group of 5 children, walked up to Hitomi and Hiroshi. The oldest, a boy about the age of 13, looked at them and snorted, "Humph. A hanyou." The next oldest, a girl also the about the age of 13, stared at them and said, "Disgusting creatures." (A/N: God, what a bitch, am I right?) Hitomi blushed in embarrassment as the words hit her and her brother. Hiroshi looked at the 5 children and yelled, "You should talk! You're weak humans!" The oldest boy then yelled, "At least we're not half humans like you. You only have half the strength we do!" Fire began to grow in Hiroshi's eyes.
The youngest, a boy the age of eleven, said, "Maybe the ears are fake." The second and third youngest children, girls the age of eleven and twelve, pulled the ears of Hitomi and Hiroshi. The twins screamed in pain as they pushed the girls away with a lot of strength. The leader helped the girls up and then looked at the twins and yelled, "Get them!" The oldest girl yelled, "Attack the disgusting creatures!" The 5 kids ran to the twins and began attacking them. Fists flew as fast as the screams of pain that filled the air, but the fight was quickly over when Hiroshi punched the leader, knocking him unconscious. The rest of the group quickly picked up their leader (which didn't really take that long for 3 girls and the youngest boy to do) and ran to their homes screaming in terror.
The door behind Hitomi and Hiroshi opened and an elderly woman walked out of the house. "Kagome, Inu-yasha." The woman said softly as she rubbed Hiroshi's ears and stroked his sister's hair. The two children didn't move. They knew the elderly woman was kind. The woman stopped and looked at Hitomi and Hiroshi. "Oh, I'm sorry. You two reminded me of your parents. I am Kaede, the village priestess and healer." Hitomi and Hiroshi bowed. "I'm Hiroshi Higurashi." Hiroshi said loudly, afraid that the woman wouldn't be able to hear well. "I'm Hitomi Higurashi." Hitomi said bravely to the woman, afraid that the elderly woman would think that the 10 year old girl was not brave.
Kaede led the twins into her house. The inside of the house smelled strongly of medicines and a small fire. There were swords and bows all around the shelves inside the house. There were mats around the small fire inside the middle of the house. Once inside the house, Shippo, Kaede, Hitomi, and Hiroshi sat on top of the small mats and Kaede asked, "How did you get here?" "We were playing around the well and this sound came from it, like glass breaking..."Hiroshi began. "Then a creature came out of the well..."Hitomi continued. "And we ended up in this world." They both finished. Kaede stared in confusion as she thought, "The barrier is broken? Do Inu-yasha and Kagome know that?" End Chapter 2
A/N: Uhhh...That's all I have right now. In my next chapter, Inu-yasha and Kagome will go back to the feudal era, and you'll get to see Miroku and Sango. R/R and tell me if I should post the third chapter. Thank ya lots. Oh and this is the translation for some Japanese words that I have used in my story:
Itai = Ouch
Arigato = Thank you
Doitashimashite (I love that word) = You're welcome
