Ch.2:: And so it happens.
Across the timeline and half a world away, the early morning rays crept through the window of a nice two story house, much to the disappointment of the teenager sleeping in it. Rolling over, she hopelessly tried to stay asleep, pulling her drapes closed and puling her pillow over her head. It wasn't meant to be though, as she found out angrily to the horrid sound of her alarm.
-BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!-
"GODDAMMIT I AM GOING TO KILL THAT DAMN ALARM CLOCK AND ITRODUCE IT TO THE SENVENTH WONDER OF HELL!" Naomi threw her covers and got up, cursing the whole way. 8:00 am?!?!?!?! *WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!* She didn't even notice her foster mother come in until-
"YOUNG WOMAN I AM GOING TO SLAP YOUR CRUDE REMARKS RIGHT OFF THAT UGLY LITTLE FACE OF YOURS! YOU BEST STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR ACT! YOU FREAK! I DON'T KNOW WHY I PUT UP WITH YOU! IF I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE LEAVING I'd KILL MYSELF KNOWING YOU WERE GOING TO BE HERE FOR ANOTHER DAY!" The fat, old woman stood there, her face turning bright purple from all her screaming. Naomi was holding her ears in annoyance- her ears were waaaaaaaay too sensitive for prolonged shouting, which she'd found out quite early on from this stupid hag. Anger seeped through her limps, and they trembled from her keeping from ripping the bitch's throat out. Her eyes were beginning to tint red, which only fueled the woman to keep on yelling.
"You are such a freak! An abomination of life! You should be killed to relieve us all of our misery! Your life taints all around you! WENCH! WHORE! All you're good for is pleasing unhappy customers! I think I ought to-"
"SHUT UP!" Naomi was livid, her fists clenched as twin marks began to show at her temples. "You witch, you ought to be put out of your own misery! You seep anger and hatred into everyone you reside about! I am glad I'm leaving before you turn me the same as you! I may be a freak, but at least I'm not a hag who doesn't know her place! I may be an abomination, but at least I'm not a total jackass who has her hand stuck up her ass! NOW IF YOU DON'T MIND, I have places to go people to see, you know- friends."
The old woman scoffed. "Friends," She scoffed. " You're just being passed off AGAIN, and once your 'family' finds out your secret, how long will they keep you? 3 days? Less? I doubt you'll be there long. So keep your hopes up ugly. Don't be surprised when you're back in this dump. And I won't be as nice the third time around." The hag turned on her heel and left, to leave a crying Naomi behind.
*Bitch. They won't shun me. She doesn't know Kagome. Kag will forgive anything- right?* She looked into the mirror, sighing at her disguise. The tall brunette sneered at her, brown eyes sparkling. Naomi Srouke threw her brush at the mirror, and then sighed again. Closing her eyes, she shifted. Short brown hair grew and lightened, becoming baby blue and her eyes brightened to become glowing violet. Taller she grew, and a fluffy TAIL wound its way around her waist, also that light cobalt color. Two smoky stripes curled about her forehead like a tiara, a small glowing star in the middle. She was wearing a sleeveless, stretchy sapphire top, and darker cerulean martial pants. A draconian naming-day sword hung at her left hip, and her clawed hand rested on it lightly. She grimaced at herself, her violet lips curling into a disgusted scowl. She never saw her beauty, her long black lashes that set off her eyes, or her gorgeously high cheek bones- no, all she saw was a misfit; a freak. Not even bothering to turn her wrists, she looked down at her wrists to see the same smoky stripes curling about them. Again she had that feeling of not belonging- something she'd felt for almost as long as she could remember. She could barely remember her parents, only flickers of shadows and emotions that she wasn't sure if they were real or just her mind wishing too hard. Trying to keep from crying, an indifferent mask settled onto her face ((Where have we seen one of those before?)) Deciding to stay in this form, she hid her tail, and pinked up her bags.
-Sigh- *FINALLY! I'm leaving this DUMP!*
She smirked, and walked out the door, not even looking at the fat hag of a woman as she went by. She did a little dance as-
-SLAM-
-went the door. Taking a cookie from a pocket ((now when did she get that?)) she munched contently as she waited for the PalmTran ((If you don't know what that is...it's the public bus down here in FL)).
About 20 minutes later, she sat, blissfully at ease with all around her. She smiled as a little boy walked over to her, no more than 5 years old at the most. She sat down next to her, looking at her curiously. She decided to talk first, since he seemed a bit shy.
"Hey little dude! Whatz crackin?"
Alright, it wasn't the most intelligent thing, but it perked the kid up, so who could blame her?
"Nada, dudette, just sittin' here. Where'd you get your tattoos from?"
She flinched. Well, they always said that there was nothing like children's honesty...
"Ah, at some tight shop down in Congress Ave."
"Dude! For real?" He seemed so....curious!
"Yea. You're cool for a little chico." She smirked.
"Thanks!" He looked so cute trying to be older...
She watched out the window for a little while as he played his Gameboy. After a few minutes the West Palm Beach Airport stop was called.
"Well, this is my stop, dude. Be good, and nice to the girls *wink*." She grinned as his face went green.
"GIRLS? They're GROSS! Yucky! Bye dudette!" He waved, then went back to sit with someone else. She grinned at went on to get her passport.
----------------20 min. later...waiting for her Plane--------------------
*GOD! Does it always take this long just to get a fucking plane here?!?!?!?!? I'm going to go insane!!!* She sat there, twiddling her thumbs idly as people walked by.
The main system for the intercom crackled to life, causing Naomi to jump over 5 feet in the air.
"Attention! Plane number 1023 American Airways flying solo from WPB, Florida to Tokyo, Japan, consisting of two stops inbetween is now boarding. Repeat: 1023 to Tokyo is now boarding!"
"CRAP!!!" Naomi ran for the plane, showing her ID, ticket, and passport before running down the passageway for the plane boarding. Making it just in time, she sat down for a calm 'ride'.
---------------Skipping the boring Plane ride--------------------
"Welcome to Tokyo! Thank you for flying American Airways, have a good day! Sayonara!"
Naomi stood sleepily to stumble out the plane. Looking about, she picked her bag up, trying to get used to seeing her native tongue on EVERYTHING after so long being around English. *Whoa...this is so...weird...in a good way.* She smirked as she saw Souta running at her. She didn't notice her appearance had changed back to her 'human' like facade. He collided into her legs, making her almost fall as he hugged her fiercely.
"Yo! Little Dude! Glad to see you too, but geez! I need to breathe here!" She grinned, ruffling up his hair as he giggled (Yea I know, he's a guy giggling, but he's a kid so...^_^ It's ok!)) at her.
"NAOMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She turned just in time to see Kagome barrel her over, causing her to fall right on her ass. "Kami-sama be praised I missed you soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Naomi laughed and hugged Kag back. It'd been way too long that they'd been apart, she could tell. Kag was prettier than ever, and seemed to glow with happiness. A strange scent was on her, but Naomi didn't worry about it right now.
"But...did you miss me as much as you love oden?"
"YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT A FAIR QUESTION! Odenodenoden!!!"
They both fell into a fit of laughter, rolling on the airport floor as they did so ((ew..ever seen the floors in there? Icky!)). Kagome's mom stood there smiling at the two girls as they reunited. Naomi looked up-
"AUNTIE Siona! KONNICHIWA!!!!!!!!!" She sprung up, hugging her 'aunt'. "Missed you missed you missed you missed you..." This continued for a while... "Well, we'd best be going, or else Souta's going to fall asleep here on the concrete floor!" They all giggled at Souta, who was fighting a yawn sleepily. He grinned sheepishly, then ran for the car. Kagome and Naomi ran after him, both carrying Nao's bags with them as they did so.
---------------------------Sunshine Shrine-----------------------------
"Whoa! It's so...........Big." Naomi stood at the steps of the shrine, looking up at it in awe. She stood as a statue, just looking at it, taking in the scents of the place, and getting aquainted with the mage-patterns crossing about it. She was surprised that the strange scent was even stronger here, and the mage-levels were so high. Most places didn't have this much magic anymore. This place seemed untouched. It was almost as good as her old Foster-family that had lived at Stonehenge. She shivered unvolentarily. *Is this an omen of a ill comings? Should I be here?* She glared at herself. *STOP IT! I'm welcome here, and they don't mind that I'm here. I need to get a grip. Onwards!* She jumped up the steps two at a time, looking back once all the way up. Waiting for what seemed like forever, Kagome FINALLY got up the stairs, to have Naomi pull her towards the house.
"HAHA! Naomi! Calm down! We're here, so slow down! I'll show you everything, I promise! Now SLOW DOWN! I'm going to faint!" She was giggling hysertically at the sight of Naomi, who looked like a little child in a candy store. She was so.....happy to be there. Pulling Naomi's hand gently, she said "Now come on! Jii-san should be here waiting for ya!" They raced for the house, stopping at the door. Naomi looked over at the God Tree, smelling that scent again, but much stronger. Wanting to check it out, but not having a way to be able to, she walked in after Kagome, to be swept up in the little man's arms.
"Naomi-chan! I'm so happy to see my little angel! How is my girl doing?" He looked over her, as if seeing how much she'd changed. They all entered the house, to celebrate the newest addition to their home.
Unknown to the others, one Sliver-haired Hanyou watched from the God Tree carefully.
-------------------------------That Night------------------------------------------
Kagome sat up, knowing that her 'new' sister was sleeping in the room next to her. She opened her window, leaning on the window sill, lost in thought. She was so enraptured that she didn't even see InuYasha until-
"Are you sleeping standing up?"
"Eek!" Kagome looked up into two golden orbs in shock. She relaxed, and backed up, let him jump in. "I didn't expect you. Gomen-nasai." She twirled a piece of hair between her two fingers unconsciously as she watched the leaves flutter up in the tree.
"Feh. I was bored, and decided to stop by. What're you thinking about?" He leaned against her wall, his hair wavering around him, making him look ethereal.
*Kami, he doesn't know how hot he looks right now....* She grinned, watching him. He smirked back, keeping his gaze on her for a little while, just enjoying her presence, before asking his question again.
"I'm just...*sighs* I keep sensing something that's not here is all." She blew her bangs from her face in annoyance.
He nodded, understanding what she meant, and grinned slightly at her actions. *So kawaii.*
"You don't think it's.."
"No."
"Why not?"
"She would have told me. I've known her for a long time."
He nodded, then walked up behind her, arms encircling her waist as he rested his head on her shoulder, indulging himself in her scent. *Water Lilies and Spring Rain...so...beautiful* He was in bliss, to say the least. She relaxed, leaning against him, letting her thoughts drift away as she looked out the window at the rustling leaves in Goshinboku. ((sp?)) A few moments she turned around, smiling up at him. She played with his hair as he gazed down at her, his eyes taking slow trips across her face. She wet her lips with her tongue unconsciously, and his eyes lowered slightly. He leaned forwards slightly.
"Kag..."
She leaned forwards, meeting her lips with his as he leaned downwards, pressing his lips firmly onto hers. She lifted her hands, playing with his ears. She massaged the bases, and petted the backs, receiving a purr from him, to give her own moan in return as he stroked her lower back in slow patterns. He tongued her lower lip, nipping and begging for entrance. She opened her mouth slowly, showing him a whole new torture. When he finally was able, he claimed every part of her mouth happily, then their tongues battled for dominance. Breaking the kiss, he panted heavily, seeing her gasp for air lightly with his own strange pride. She smirked at him, and pulled him back down, kissing him again. His tongue was almost automatically in her mouth, but he brought it back slowly, slightly sucking on hers, having it come into his own mouth. She did so gladly, claiming all the parts of his mouth with a smirk, never stopping her petting. Finally after a few more kisses, they stopped, and he left, though not really wanting to. She smiled out the window as she saw him go back to the well house, then went to sleep, dreaming of a certain hanyou.
--------------------Next Day--------------------------
"WAKE UP! Rise and shine sleepy head!!" Kagome bounced into her foster sister's room, flicking on the lights as she did so.
Naomi groaned, pulling her pillow over her head as the room lit up like an over powered light bulb. "...Too...much...light..."
"Wake up! We don't wanna be late for school, do we?"
Naomi sprung up, in terror and alertiveness. She nearly screamed-
"SCHOOL?!?!?!?!"
