Ch.3
NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING TO SCHOOL!
Kagome smirked at Naomi. She reminded her of a cat that'd been thrown into a pool, to come out hissing indignantly and totally freaked out.
"Yes, I do believe that's what I said, and I quote 'school'."
Naomi looked at her, wide eyed. She was freaking out, internally. *I can't go to school! What would I do? I'd be called and idiot and shunned! No! No! And No! I will not go to that hell hole!*
"..I...I...can't go to school with you Kagome! I'm...already...graduated!"
Kagome gaped at her. ((Like this:: O_O hehe...sorry, couldn't resist here)) "What do you mean?!?!?! You're only 16 like me!"
-Shuffle shuffle-
"Y-yea, but...but...I-I was h-h-home-sch-chooled-d and...And...IgraduatedearlyandandInolongerhavetogotoschool!" she finished in one breath. She looked as if she'd have a heart attack if she had to go to the High School, and Kagome was really shocked now.
"That's....That's...GREAT! Ohmigod! That's SOOOO cool! You must be like super smart! Can you help me with my work I'm a total idiot! I mean, KAMI-SAMA! That must have been soooooooooooo hard!" Kagome was going total prep-ish, standing there with her hands clasped in front of her, and a dazzling smile on her face. Naomi fought back a groan, and sweat dropped, anime style.
"Kagome-chan! I'm not smart, tons of home-schooled kids graduate waaaaay before I did! And you're smarter than me, we only cover basics of everything. I heard that you're in honors classes! And you take all that time out of school because of sickness! BY THE WAY, if you're that sick all the time, why aren't you taking some medication or something! I've got a bone to pick with Aunt Siona!"
Kagome blushed, and winced at Naomi's choices of words. She mumbled under her breath, hiding her face with her hair as she ducked her head down, embarrassedly. She looked up, to see Naomi smirking at her, looking for all the world like InuYasha when he gets her to agree with him. Kagome stifled a laugh, and poked her 'sister' in the stomach, to get a satisfying
"Oomph. What was that for, girl?"
As she did so. She giggled, at least Nao didn't call her 'wench'. She full out laughed, and Naomi joined in soon after, 'til all they were was a mass of shivering, loud, laughing, WEIRD, flesh on the floor, rolling around merrily. Kagome finally sat up, trying to calm down, only able to succeed half-way.
"*giggle* Hey Nao-*ha-ha* -omi *chuckle* what *chuckle* do you *he he* say to-"
"My goodness, sister! You can't talk at all!*HAHA*" Naomi stood, and started tickling her foster sister.
"N-no! Nao-omi! St-t-op it! HAHA! You are so mean! –poke- So whatcha say to you stopping poking me so that we can go take...a trip?"
Naomi grinned, and plopped down on the desk chair as her sister stumbled to her bed, still having after-effects from laughing so much. *She is so weird! I could tell her, and I will!* her mind was made up. *Now? No, later, when she's more...well, whatever. Later, right now...-*
"Trip? What kind of 'trip'? Like this?" Naomi stood, and dramatically walking forwards, stumbled over her own feet, to fall in a heap, right smack on her ass.
"HAHA! No! Not like that, but I swear I'm going to die laughing if you're around me the whole time!" Kagome somehow calmed herself down, and threw a pillow at Naomi. "But, this type of trip is...different. You see, I've got a secret, something I've only told my family. SO! Seeing as you're my family, finally –wink- I wanna tell ya!"
Naomi's eyes widened. *Sh-she wants to tell me a family SECRET! She's only ever known me as a far away pen pal basically! She's so trusting! I'm...glad. WHOA! Where'd that come from! Well...* She paused in her mind to think. ((I know...sounds weird, pausing from thinking to think...oh well, work with me here.)) *Yes. I am glad that she wants to tell me, because now I'm even more certain now that I want to tell her mine.*
"Naomi? Is this ok?"
"Hm? Oh yes, please, tell me. I promise to keep it a secret, even though there's only a whole...two! people I could tell. Would you like me to name and describe them?" She smirked. "One's name is Kagome, and she's the coolest, weirdest, most psychopathic girl I know, and I'm proud to say she's my sister. The other, is sadly...my pet rock. His name is Bob. And yes, I do tell him everything..." She put on a comically sad face, before getting a giddy, most vibrant face. "But I'm certain he won't tell! You see, he's decided to take an oath of silence! So, I wouldn't worry!" She outright smiled, and Kagome was looking at her like...@_@ before cracking up again.
"Yes, well I don't mind if you tell 'Bob', or Kagome about it buddy-ole-pal. I'm sure they'll be glad to keep it secret too!" Kagome smiled back, and stood, walking over to her mini refrigerator. ((Man aint that convenient?)) Grabbing a Dr.Pepper, she asked Naomi-
"Yo! Wanna soda? It's gonna be a long telling."
Naomi nodded, and replied, "Sprite's good." She watched Kag get lost in the 'Fridge, before coming back out with a smile. Catching the tossed drink, she said with a trademark grin, "You know, if this explodes, I'm aiming it at you the whole time." Kagome smiled back.
"Yes, well, as you should know, Sprite doesn't explode."
"Oh really?" Naomi aimed the drink, and opened it, to have a burst of sprite come out...and right onto her sister. She watched in amusement as her sister sputtered and almost yelled obscenities, as she looked for a towel, before stopping, looking over at Naomi. She walked back over, grinning evilly, as her sister looked up, wondering *what now?*. She shook up her Dr.Pepper that'd been forgotten in her hand. Before her sister could react, she opened her drink in front of the unsuspecting girl's face.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! YOU LITTLE-"
"What is going on in here?!?!" They both looked over, to see Siona looking at them with huge eyes. ((O_O))((Whoa...that looks like a dork...my bad...I'm NOT calling Kag's mom a dork, only the smiley I put in as her facial expression. Proceed!)) "Ok! Time for baths I think! Kag, you get your bathroom, and Naomi, I'm not sure if you noticed, but in your room, there's an adjoining bathroom. You both need showers, since obviously you're not planning on going to school. Shoo! Now! Wash up, and come down for breakfast!"
Naomi grinned. "What's for breakfast, Auntie?"
Siona smiled at the pet-name. "I'm making scrambled eggs with cheese, which I recall being your favorite? Its Kagome's too, besides Oden...But! You both don't get any if you're not down here in 20 minutes!"
Both girls were gone before she'd finished her last word. Siona smiled contently; happy to have another girl for her Kagome to hang out with. Her regular three friends had been so annoying, and not her daughter's type at all. They worse than those English guys...Curly, Moe, and...Whatever that last one's name was... She shrugged, then walked briskly down the stairs, already hearing one of the showers start up.
---------Naomi's POV----------
She dashed out of Kagome's room, intent on getting her bath as soon as possible. She stopped once she got in her room- her own room. She smiled, and totally forgot she was soaking wet as she looked around at it. It was a blend of different blues and purples- she couldn't have picked a better setting herself. Her walls were sponge-painted different shades, to cover the whole thing, no white showing. It gave off a cooling feeling, as if one was coming into a calm sanctuary. Her drapes were a filmy azure color with ice-like patterns on it. She looked down at her bare toes, and crinkled them into the soft carpet, which was deep cobalt, which contrasted nicely with the other more bright colors. The purple just seemed to be...there, in the walls, and the small nick-knacks. She walked up to her chestnut chest. It held her towels and so forth. She seized two towels and her other bathing supplies. Above it was a small shelf, that'd been let blank, something for her to fill. She'd wasted no time putting her CD collection up, and her speakers. Her system resided on the dresser, over on the furthest wall from her. She trotted over, grabbing a tight, sleeveless, nylon shirt that said- "My imaginary friend thinks you have serious problems", and tight LEVI jeans, slightly faded from use, but they looked as if that was how they were bought. She took good care of her clothes. ((*nods* she sounds like me...I've had these jeans I'm wearing for about two years and people walk up to me all the time, "Hey, new jeans? They look great!" Anyways...I'm rambling...)) Pulling out a black bra and a black thong with bright yellow rubber duckies, she dashed over to her closet, and pulled her tan Timberlands out, then dashed back to get a pair of black half-socks. Done, she jumped into the shower.
---------10 minutes Later-----------
Naomi was pulling on her socks, and she chuckled as she still heard her foster sister's shower running. *And she even got in before me too...* She shrugged, and flipped her hair back, for even though it was in a pony tail, it came all the was to her waist, even in this form. She flicked some imaginary duct from her clothes and stuffed her feet into her shoes. She frowned slightly, she didn't really like shoes. She liked feeling the carpet under her feet. She sighed. *Oh well.* She then giggled. *Look at me, sighing over the lose of the carpet...I'm losing my mind!* She opened the window, and sighed as the crisp breeze washed over her. She sighed again, and grabbed a jacket, knowing that her sister would insist, seeing as she didn't know Naomi's secret yet. Naomi shrugged. Whatever made her happy. She put on her game face, then walked over to the circuit breaker. She flipped a few switches, and was happy to hear her success was so effective so quickly.
"GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Naomi laughed, and ran down the stairs, and down to her 'aunt'. Yes, life was good.
-------Regular POV------------
Kagome ran down the stairs, stopping in front of the kitchen where her mother and sister were. She was wearing an emerald green, long sleeved shirt that said in white- "Miss me already?" and dark black Corduroy jeans. Black Vans were on her feet, and her hair, though damp, flowed about her indifferently. She had a thin chain necklace of a strange type of gold about her neck, which she fingered from time to time unconsciously. The pendant was a ¾ pink jewel that seemed to glow. Naomi looked up from the table, and glanced at it uninterestedly. She went back to her heaping plate of scrambled eggs and bacon. Kagome giggled, and sat down next to her, to have her mother place a plate full of food in front of her with a smile. They all proceeded to eat, with small talk in-between. After she was finished, surprisingly first even though she ate twice as much as the other two, Naomi took her dishes and brought them to the sink. She waited for the other two to finish, then took theirs as well. They looked at her with wide eyes, but she just smirked, grabbed the empty pots and pans, to wash them to a sparkling clean, faster than they'd even seen before. ((Whoa...I wish I could do that...*sighs wistfully*)) She turned back around, drying the last pot as she did so, to see them both staring at her like...O_O. She shrugged, and asked with a smirk,
"What? Never saw someone wash dishes from appreciation for the best breakfast ever before?" She grinned at her aunt's smile at her praise, and put the last pot in the drainer.
"No, it's just...you were so fast! That was astounding! You made an arduous task so simple!" Siona smiled at Naomi as she said this, and leaned on the wall like the cool mother she was.
Naomi just shrugged, and shook it off, not wanting to explain the reasons just yet to her aunt. *Kagome first, then Aunt Siona.* She grinned, and turned to Kagome.
"Yo, squirt. Wanna take a walk to the part, and talk for a while? Get a breath of fresh air, ya know? You look like you need it!" She ducked the table mats being chucked at her. "Moi renoncer à! STOP! Please? Aack!" She grinned as Kagome ran out of mats. "You're nicer when you have no ammo. ^_^ now be nice! Evil goober. Anyways, wanna go? We can talk there."
Kagome grinned, and turned to her mom. "Hey, we'll be back later. As the weirdo said, we'll just be at the park. ^____^" She laughed, and ran away as Naomi chased her out the door, both yelling over their shoulders the Siona as they left.
"BYE MOM! SEE YA!"
"Ja ne AUNTIE! LATER!"
------------------A couple Minutes Later, Walking----------------
Kagome and Naomi walked down the street happily, trading banters and having a genuinely good time. They didn't see the 'Three Stooges' as Siona called them, until it was too late.
"Shittama!" Naomi looked over at her Kagome curiously, wondering why the curse word came from her sister. It wasn't as if she'd never heard the word before, damn, she'd used worse. It was the fact that it was Kagome saying it. The one who never cussed. Naomi wondered where the shorter girl had even learned it from.
"What was that about Kago-" She was cut off by a chiming of squealed-
"KAGOME-CHAN!!!!!!!!" It seemed to be coming from the chattering little group running towards the grimacing Kagome, who was trying to look happy about their arrival. Suddenly Kagome was no longer able to be seen, being squashed between all her 'friends' in a literally breath taking embrace. She was finally let go, and she smiled faintly as she gasped for air.
"Oh Kagome we missed you soooooooooooo much!"
"YEA! How are you doing? Did your scoliosis surgery go well?"
"WELL OF COURSE IT DID! She's standing just fine in front of you! Are you sure you don't need to sit down Kagome?"
"Yes, come Kagome, let's go sit down!"
"We don't want you to get tired! Really, should you be so far from home?"
Naomi was steadily growing pissed, as they pulled her sister about. Their chattering was annoying, and the way they didn't even let her nee-chan answer was maddening. She had to work to keep the red from her eyes as she growled out-
"Where the hell do you think you're bringing my sister?"
They all turned to stare at the livid woman-child behind them, blinking uncomprehendingly. She growled, a sound coming from deep within her. Kagome looked up at her, then turned to her 'friends'.
"Hey guys? I'm fine, really. I'm just going to this BIIIG BIIG way out of the way job listing right now with my sister; big thing, can't miss it, and we're running late. If you don't mind, we're just going to be on our way...-"
"But Kagome, why didn't you take your car? Are you able to drive? Oh I'll drive you, don't worry about it, we'll bring you! Don't stress out! Stay calm, let me get my car...(etc)" Kagome couldn't even tell which was talking, they all blended together in speech, and she watched as they all ran for their cars. She looked over at her sister, who was calming, though still had a furious glint in her eyes.
"Let's go, while they're gone. They'll be back all too soon."
Naomi nodded, and they both ran towards the park, at full speed. Kagome was running exceptionally fast for a human, Naomi noted, and she kept up with a small bit of effort. Most humans were so slow, but they had to be going at least 12 mph here. ((Ok. Breach in the pattern here. Youkai can go up to 40 mph, and can stay at that pace for a total of 4 ½ hours before tiring. Humans-Sadly, they go on average of 5 mph in my Fic. So you can see that little Kagome's FAST! ^_^ Must be those eggs, lol!)) They rounded the corner, and rushed into the park, making sure they got deep into the middle of the park before stopping. Strangely, neither was gasping for breath, which both blinked about. ((Ok. Pause. o.o -.- o.o there we go. Blink!)) Shoving it out of their minds, they sat down on a nearby bench, before simultaneously breaking out in grins.
"Whatcha think they did when they came back to find no one there?"
"HAHA! Probably freaked out, then tried to remember the number for 911!"
"NAOMI! Harsh treatment, ne? But true....HAHA!" They both were falling on top each other in peels of laughter. After quite a few moments later and an occasional giggle, they sat back, without a care in the world.
"Hey Naomi?"
"Un?"
"Can I tell you now?"
"Does it look like I'm stopping' ya?"
"Heh. You're right. Alright. Well, it all started on my 15th birthday, when I was out with Souta, sweeping the steps. He thought that the cat'd been lost in the well house, so I went to have a check..." And so she continued, unwinding her whole story before Naomi, telling of meeting InuYasha for the first time, her adopting Shippou, fighting various demons, adding the additions of Sango and Miroku, the bitch Kikyo continually being compared with her, her watching the fights between InuYasha and his brother Sesshoumaru, becoming friends secretly with Rin, her and InuYasha 'hooking up', and lastly Naraku and his many spawn. Finished, she sat back, to see Naomi do the same with a sigh. She fidgeted uncomfortably, wanting to know her sister's thoughts.
"Well. That's definitely something you hear everyday. ^_^"
"HAHA! You have such a strange take of everything, Naomi."
"Hey, I think what you're doing there is great. I'm glad you didn't take the easy way out, even when that bitch tried to kill you, and the one you love. ^_^ I think it's so kawaii that you two are together too."
"You are such a sap."
"AM NOT."
"ARE TOO."
"Not."
"Too."
"NOT"
"TOO"
"Shut up."
"Nope!"
"Bah." Naomi threw a leaf at Kagome, and thought about everything she'd said. "So Naraku's still living?"
"Yea. Unfortunately."
"A dumb bastard that just won't die, ne?" Naomi grinned ironically, and played with her nail. "I hope that he dies horridly, and alone. ^_^ But that's not for me to decide." She sighed, and stood. "Come walk with me. Please."
Kagome smirked, and stood up, before walking next to her sister quietly. She could read her foster sister's aura, and could see the thought and apprehension in it. "What is it, nee-san?"
Naomi looked over and smiled at her sister's shining face. *If she only knew what a wonderful being of life she was. She's like a pure beacon of light in a drowning storm of darkness. She's like a life-line.* She smiled at how true this is, and reflected back on her life. *I've never been this happy as I have been these two days I've been here. I don't even remember being this happy with Mother and Father before they...disposed of me.* She smiled grimly, then said to Kagome, "Kag, I've gotta secret to bestow on you too. Will you hear it?"
Kagome blinked at her. "OF COURSE! LIKE YOU HAVE TO ASK YOU BAKA-NEE-SAN!" She hit her sister upside the head gently, and looked up at her happily.
Naomi smiled, then sighed. "Alright, I'm so glad that you're so...vocal about it. I would have worried if you weren't so loud." She rubbed an aching ear as proof. She giggled then said, "Oh well. Anyways, I'm not sure how you'll take to this, and this is my warning in advance. You may not want to be associated with me afterwards, and I don't mind if you don't want to be. I understand. –Shaky breath- Ok. When I was about three years old, I lived with my mother and father. They traveled a lot, and I was a burden, always needing to be fed and kept track of. So they left me at the home of some idiot hag who kept kids who were no longer wanted, for she owed them a favor. The left with the promise of coming back in five days; I never saw them again." She was staring ahead as she walked slowly down the winding path. "I grew, and I saw that I wasn't wanted, and I retaliated. I was most likely the worst of the bunch, and I got along with no one. None liked me, seeing as I was so different. The old hag wanted so bad to kill me, and I'm not sure why she didn't. She could have, surely. At least, when I was small she could have. I stayed there until I was ten, then was put in my first home. Thy were kind, and I liked them. Unfortunately, something happened that was unexplainable, no matter how common for us." She stopped and turned, looking Kagome in the eye, in total seriousness. "Kagome, I'm a full-blooded Youkai. I'm a Neko-Youkai of an old blood line. And as children, we all get our first bloodlust, somewhere around the age of eleven." She swallowed hard, and looked away. "I was brought back to the Hag, and she took me back, under the influence of the police. After another ten years, she shipped me out again, to this younger couple. He was...a sever drunkard, and was unkind. My second bloodlust came while he was beating me, as his woman giggled in the background. They'd disgusted me, especially from the fact that it aroused her to see it, and I could smell it. I killed them, and I liked it. It didn't even make me sick like the first time. I enjoyed it, and didn't feel guilty- I thought they deserved it." Naomi hung her head in shame, tears sparkling in her eyes.
Kagome's heart ached for her sister that she'd come to love as a true nee-san, and she rushed forwards, hugging her tightly. She just stood there, holding her sister as she cried. A few moments later, Naomi finished her sobs, and Kagome handed her a tissue. Naomi grinned faintly, and used it. Afterwards, she inquired-
"So you're not...-" She broke off, not sure what to say.
"I'm not mad at you, or disgusted, or anything. Nao-chan, you did nothing wrong. The first time, well, it was an accident, and all youkai go through it. And the second, personally, I can't even feel sorry for those who died. You didn't deserve what happened to you, but they had it coming Naomi. I'm not going to scold you over something you can't control."
Naomi grinned with relief, and they started walking. Long moments full of thought passed. She blinked as her sister started talking again.
"How old are you, anyway?"
Naomi burst out laughing, the musical sound winding through the forest part of the park they were walking through. "I'm about...well. Let's see. Hm. I was 3 in Youkai years when I was dropped off, that's about 20 years in human, then another...O_O whoa. I'm about...168, I believe. 169 on...December 14th."
"WHOA! No wonder you didn't want to go to school!"
"That's right! There's no way in HELL I'm going to school again!" They both laughed, and started their walk home.
O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_
